Defenders of Darrowshire

Free 15 Darrowshire Spirits and return to Carlin Redpath.
  •  
Darrowshire Spirits Freed (15)

Description

Many of the defenders fell at the battle of Darrowshire. And many roam again as the ghastly servants of the Scourge! Find these poor souls and end their misery!

Hunt cannibal ghouls, gibbering ghouls and diseased flayers. Many of these fiends were once the good folk of Darrowshire and destroying their forms now will set their souls free.

You will find them in Plaguewood and Corin's Crossing, and in other Scourge strongholds of Eastern Plaguelands.

Progress

The poor defenders of Darrowshire cry out to me in my dreams, <name>. You must free them!

Completion

It is good to hear you found the tortured souls of my brethren and freed them. My heart will weep less, knowing at least some of the defenders of Darrowshire no longer wallow in the vile subservience of the Scourge.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 565 experience (33 90 at max. level)

There are quite a few diseased flayers around 68,41 that can be killed for this quest. Much quicker than getting the odd one in Corrin's Crossing or in the north of EPL.

I used the location above (68, 41) on my Warrior, and it worked really well. Just on the first sweep through I got ten down, and it honestly could have been more if I widened my search area. Do NOT go to Corin's Crossing. If you can't heal, you're as good as dead. Even if you can, you will more than likely get overtaken by their summonings, and patrols that occur. I went there, changing from 68, 41, and I died before I even killed the first one. It was an open clearing, with one enemy... then two shades joined in, and then two mages. He summoned the shades (level 56), and the mages wandered into me. Warriors: STAY AWAY FROM CORIN'S CROSSING!

Personally, I think this quest is great, especially for First Aid users. The Runecloth drop rate here is great. I started with 2 Heavy Runecloth Bandages, ended with 12, and that's with my use of them. I didn't have to eat a single bit of food.

Oh, and that Ghoul Rot debuff will hurt you. It gives you a -10% chance to hit, which means you'll be missing a lot more often than normal, a LOT more often. If you're a class that can debuff this, you'll want to do so just as soon as it hits you. Great place to quest, but it can be a slow grind.

The guys at 68,41 have a HUGE aggro radius (although a guildie said it only happens sometimes). I wasn't within range of using my bow (35 yards) when they would aggro. Some aggrod at up to 45-55 yards.

Be careful.

Just a tip, but you dont have to kill the mob to talk to the spirit, if someone else kills it and the spirit appears you can still get the point for it. This also works for opposing factions (horde vs alliance).

1- It is horribly difficult to run around finding these ghouls, so I advise you to go to the Auction House and buy 1 ""Elixir of detect undead"" https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9154 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=9154 . This will allow you to see all near by undead on the mini map and hover over the dots to know what they are. This will save you a lot of time searching for them, since you can just go directly to them! The elixir is not expensive and it's well worth it.

2- If anybody else has this quest, do it together.. the spirit counts for both of you, so instead of killing 15 each you'll just need to kill 15 total.

In plaguewood, there are ghouls around level 54-55, which is the lowest you can find them for this quest. And, all you have to do is get to a dead ghoul and talk to the ghost, doesn't matter if you kill them or if someone else does.

The https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=12337 Crimson Courier and her party can be a great asset to this quest. As they pass through Plaguewood and Corin's Crossing, they kill any undead in their path. Any ghouls they kill will still produce a Darrowshire ghost, and any other undead they kill may respawn as a ghoul.

The best things to kill for this quest are the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=8532 Diseased Flayers. These ghouls can be found in abundance in the hills leading up to the Fungal Vale... which is a little northeast of Blightcaller's house. The path up into the hills towards the Fungal Vale starts at 34,59. Go there and start working your way up into the mountain clearing there.

Just be wary of https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=8539 Eyeless Watchers that can sometimes appear out of nowhere and then call for help when their health is low. I ran into a large handful of these while in this area. Otherwise, this was the best place to find the ghouls to complete this quest. By the time I'd worked all the way up and turned around to come back down, more Diseased Flayers had spawned, making this a great place to complete the quest and get xp at the same time.

Good luck!

You can find the ghouls around:
39.51
60.68
82.41
68.41
16,30 (in the inn)
just kill the ghouls and a ghost falls out.. speak to the ghost
Good luckbe VERY careful if you try the 16.30location, there are more than a few lvl 60+ creatures that wander around, and a ""Nerubian Overseer"" which is 60+ Rare (silver Elite) that patrols around and does not have any problem with making you a midnight snack.

Also, at the location given, there is nothing but a scourge soldier and a cursed mage downstairs, that both come when you hit either of them, and a cursed mage upstairs ready to spring on you as soon as you come into sight. I dunno what he was talking about at all =/

I'm not sure what the problem is, but the spirits are disappearing as soon as I click on them to speak, and it isn't counting it toward the quest for the split second the speech bubble is up. I'm level 80 and going back doing these for achievements, but I haven't had any other quests be weird like this because of my level as far as NPCs failing to talk to me. They stand there as long as I don't click on them or loot the corpse.

I -do- have the quest. I made sure of that after the first one. ;-)

I was just randomly running through EPL today to do some quests, and I stumbled upon a good chunk of maybe 8 - 10 Diseased Flayers around 62,33. That would be a good spot to get these bastards, since places like Corin's Crossing are stuffed with other types of mobs, in addition to a low count of ghouls.

60.5, 31.8 had a small camp of Diseased Flayers, Scourge skeletons, and Dark Adepts. When I showed up, it was mainly Diseased Flayers, so I got lucky. Nice little spot for this.

I believe this quest to be broken as the ghosts are no longer spawning after killing any of the scourge and not giving me credit of any sorts. Is anybody else experiencing this? I don't even get a split second to click on them like the previous posts above.

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.
=================================================
This information might seems to be incorrect. I just obtained and completed it a few minutes ago. One thing that is different though is that the quest giver and completer is a different person. It is now given by Crusader Kevin Frost at 27.6-20.9

Interesting that people have so many varied experiences with this quest. I received it in Plaguewood and completed it there, killing cannibal ghouls. And yes, I had to talk to the freed spirits before the quest would acknowledge the spirit's freedom.
