Infiltration

Retrieve information about Gol'dir's whereabouts for Krusk in Tarren Mill.
Syndicate Missive

Description

At last we begin to hear word and rumor, find evidence of Gol'dir's whereabouts. The humans have been moving him around, but we are narrowing down our search and focusing on the large Syndicate camp just north of here.

Go there, <name>, and bring back whatever information you can get your hands on.

Reward

Also, you get: 35

Progress

Have you found anything? I fear Gol'dir's prospects grow worse by the day...

Completion

Finally, we know where Gol'dir is being held. The camp in question is not too far from here, and hopefully they will not be as well prepared as they were when they captured us the first time.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 270 experience (16 20 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Orgrimmar

It appears you can do this quest two different ways. The first is to go kill any and all Syndicate mobs you find to the north. The missive will randomly drop off one of them.

The other way is to go talk to Henchman Valik at 57, 69. He will offer you the missive in exchange for some Southshore Stout. You likely don't have any on you, but on the cliff south of Valik you should see a Syndicate mob named Drunken Footpad. Kill him and he will drop the stout. Take it back to Valik and he'll give you the missive. Easy to do if you don't trust the drop rate (and I couldn't blame you).

Simple Quest, Just go to the Inkeeper in Tarren Mill and buy (1 Southshore Stout) from him, then run north to 57.69 where you will find Valik, Talk to him and give him the stout in exchange for the Missive, all you need to watch for is a gap in the sydicate patrols and your home free, no need to kill a single toon. Simplicity Itself :) If by chance you should aggro Valik by mistake it's not a problem, just kill the surrounding mobs as they drop the Missive too.

For those still looking for the Footpads (whom drop the Missive) or Valik, both are in ""Sofera's Naze,"" in Northern Hillsbrad. Be careful, as the Footpads have an extreme aggro radius.

To be eligible for this chain, you need to complete ""The Rescue"" from him, a level 22 quest that involves Durnholde Keep.

This is in Alterac Mountains. Head north of TM and then when you get to post, head left up the hill, and stay to the left. You will find them in Sofera's Naze. Killed 2 people and got the letter on the second drop. Really simple.

Just completed this quest a few mins ago. When I got up to the area, Valik was hostile, but didn't attack me. I decided to kill him anyways. About 5 mins later, he respawned with a yellow ! over his head and gave me the quest to bring him a stout. I already had one on me as a drop from another Syndicate mob, so I turned it in and he gave me the missive. He immediately turned hostile, but again, didn't attack.

I just completed this quest and have a hostile rep with this faction. It appears as of the 2.3.3 patch, Henchman Valik appears green with a yellow exclamation point over his head. After you accecpt and complete the quest he turns red and is killable. Cords 57, 69 confirmed.

Valik appeared hostile to me, already had a stout with me. Killed him and while waiting for him to respawn the missive dropped.

Hung out to see if he respawned with the quest available, and he did. I'm thinking that it's intentional due to the text of the quest - he talks about you coming back to finish the job you started and his impending death so it seems as if it's working as intended.

Simple quest folks...solo'd 34 lock heres how it goes :

Pick up quest from org inside building next to Wanted: poster in Tarren Mills, Hillsbrad

Run into the Inn and talk to the InnKeeper and grab (1) Southshore Stout

Head north from Tarren Mills into Alterac Mountains.

Before you get to the Crushridge orgs go off to the right ontop of the platform thing you'll enter a camp called ""Soferas' Naze""

The guy you need to see is directly off to the right with yellow exclamation (!) over his head.

Now you can do this two ways, this way was easiest for me...
I just sent in my voidwalker and aggro'd camp, ran over to the guy and completed quest.

Or you can fight your way through, which i found kind of a pain because they aggro very easy, and you will get more than you can handle fast.

Then just run back to Tarren Mill and return quest :D

Wish I had read these comments before I infiltrated Strahnbrad! Blizzard seems to have a bad habit of putting two encampments of the same type right near each other, each several levels of difficulty apart, then giving a vague direction like ""north"" that applies to both. If you pickpocket them, you can get a bunch of Syndicate Emblems (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=6701 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=6701)

Ok I found Valik without an ! above head. I killed him. You will aggro other mobs so be ready. After Valik spawns again, he will indeed have the ! for the quest. I feared the adds and clicked him twice and ran. GL

Just did this quest via Valik. He appeared with an ! over his head; when I targeted him, he appeared ""friendly"" (green name plate) and not affiliated with any faction. Once the quest was completed, he became a non-hostile unfriendly affiliated with the Syndicate. (With which I'm at war.) Killing him in that state yielded no experience, he could not be looted, and (oddly enough) didn't change my rep with the Syndicate.

That sounds bugged, to me, but since I've also done this quest by simply killing the other syndicate members, it doesn't seem that big a deal.

This quest line is a great source of Orgrimmar reputation, with a total of 1000 points in Org. rep.

For the ones who are doing quests for ""Loremaster of Eastern Kingdom"" I suggest doing it the way with the Drunken Footpad &gt; Henchman Valik.
Because Valik offers you a quest for the stout, and that's an extra quest that DOES also count for Loremaster of Eastern Kingdom.

Okay, to clear up a lot of confusion, this guy is friendly to everybody to start off with, whether you are hated or not with the Syndicate.

If he is hostile to you, it means that the previous person to do the quest with him didn't kill him after completing the quest and receiving the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=3601 Syndicate Missive.

Just kill him and he should respawn in around 5 - 10 minutes friendly to you and you can complete the quest. =)

I found him friendly but with no ""!"" above him. Has this quest changed or is it a bug?
