That caravan really is just north of the goblin. It's almost within sight of him. Clear out all the centaur near the cage, as well as the patrolling cloud serpent and coyote.

The panther is a level 30 elite. Two players at level 28 or better should own this guy. At level 30, several classes can solo him with a good bit of finesse.

Just finished soloing him on my 28 feral druid. If you have spirit/Intellect gear, I suggest you put it on for the way you will have to kite it. When you open the cage, run to the center of the open area and cast Entangling Roots, after doing so, cast Starfire on it, then wait for the roots to wear off. Repeat this process by casting Entangling Roots on it every time it breaks, it's a long way to kill it, but as long as you are able to keep a safe distance from it and you throw a Starfire on it every once in a while, you can kill it easily and by yourself.

When you open the cage, make sure to pull him out of it if you're using a pet or a tank. Otherwise, he stays inside the cage, out of your (DPSers') LOS while your pet/tank gets owned.

Easily soloable though. I took him with no problem as a 28 marksman hunter, with minimal stamina. My pet only held his aggro for about 8 seconds as I had Rapid Fire+Bloodfury up, and a couple nice crits, but I still took him no problem, with a decent kite-job.

I'm not sure if it was because I did this quest as a 70, but it did not yield reputation with Thunder Bluff (or anyone, for that matter).

This quest does not give 2000 Thunder Bluff reputation, it actually gives no reputation at all.

How do we petition the website to remove the reputation from the initial description? I +1 rated all the comments that mentioned that it does not give Thunder Bluff reputation, but since I didn't look at the comments first, I went ahead and did the quest before checking here to comment that the reputation reward is wrong.

Shaman soloing at lvl 28, possible to do it a at 27 probarly but harder with resist.

First clear all 4 centuars who guards cage. Then you see there cage open is thanks to lock go around 30 yard from it, put out totems there. suggest armor one, health spring and fire shooting one. Sorry for not remembering the name late over here.

Then release the cat and walk back towards totem, now use the shock called frost shock to slowly kite the cat around the totem while you run and back off to to shoot it again then CD is over kiting it. This will take some time but you will not get hit once and you will get the kill, remember to have mana shield up so you get mana during this and have a mana pot ready if you get low.

Did this with ease as enchantment.

Reason with totems is bcs of resist, so you will not get owned too fast if he do it you, you can heal if he is shocked, but use a lesser healing wave then you backed.

Impossible for Level 27 Fury Warrior to solo.
And yes, it does not give any Reputation.

Soloed it as a level 26 BM hunter with a level 25 pet, but it was quite tough. First of all, make sure pet and u are at full HP / Mana, and clear the zone of the other mobs. Then let your pet get some aggro, and turn of auto Cower / Taunt ( Or both) and start kiting the panther with Disengage, freezingtraps and so on, and your pet will solo DPS him. Good luck and have fun trying to solo him :)

Soloed as a Priest lvl 30, not without a fight t0, biggest problem is that the mana goes down pretty fast, but using PW:S and psy scream, togheter with mind flay, the little cat is not much of a trouble.

solo'd as a 29 holy priest. Open cage, shield, dot, holy fire, fear, spam holy fire/mindblast/smite, heal when low, fear, run, dot. this cat moves pretty damn slow so you can dot and run pretty easily.

Soloed as a 24 BM hunter.
Just kite him around the stone pole to the left while you have Aspect of the Cheetah activated :)
Watch out so you dont agro the little kobold going around in circles though, he can ruin stuff! (I found out the hard way!)

Just finished soloing him on my 29 mage.
Now, this will take some skill for anyone who isn't a troll, because for one thing I am a troll mage, which means I have berserking. Plus I'm frost spec so Berserking + Icy Veins helps a lot.

Another thing I did was freeze him every chance I had. I am also equipped with 2 heirlooms and some pretty awesome gear.

Happy hunting, everyone!

Easily soloable as a level 28 BM hunter. Have a few heirloom items so this definitely helped.

A tip for warriors: As with any elite or otherwise extra tough mob, it should be easier if you kill any nearby mob to gain Victory Rush. Immediately attack the cat afterwards and use it when you're at 80% health for extra health.

Due to the changes in 4.0.1 I managed to solo him as a 26 warlock.

Summon voidwalker, activate the taunt spell, and then put the DoT's on. He dealt about 130 dmg per hit, which is a lot, so if he hits you fear him, and drain life while he runs.

Try to never get aggro, let pet take it and heal with health funnel.

After the fight I had about 40hp, so very hard at level 26, try to get one more player or be a higher level. Easy xp + a reasonable ring.

For hunter the same tactics apply.

So will I have to open the cage and loot the drowned panther now?
