Order Must Be Restored

Assemble an army and travel to the Eastern Plaguelands. Launch a full assault on Nathanos Blightcaller and any Horde filth that may attempt to protect him.

Keep your wits about you, <name>. The Horde will defend the ranger lord with their very lives.
  •  
Nathanos Blightcaller slain

Description

Do you know how many ranger lords exist in this world? How many human ranger lords have ever existed?

Nathanos' accomplishments were unprecedented. He was a tactical genius, responsible for Alliance victories spanning a decade of conflict.

And now... the champion of the Forsaken.

No. This cannot be. Order must be restored.

Gather an army, <name>. Return to the Plagues with your army and destroy the Blightcaller.

I wish you luck, <name>. Truly, you will need it for this battle.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Gorewood Bow
Stormrager
Sacred Protector

Progress

<Highlord Bolvar Fordragon is lost in thought.>

Completion

It is a tragedy. I think... I believe that our kind is cursed, <name>. We are cursed to lose our greatest warriors; our most noble heroes; our most gifted scholars.

We are indebted to you and I assure you, <name>, wherever Nathanos Marris is now, he smiles down upon you.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 995 experience (59 70 at max. level)

It used to be common to see people LFG for this... it'd get raided at least once a week, now it's slightly less common... and there's currently a bug that won't let me search for it with the new tool even though I have the quest.

In December 2006 one poster noted that it is ""slightly less common"" to find a raid for this than it used to be. Well, one year into TBC, I can tell you, forget about it. Unless you have a guild at your beck and call, it isn't happening. You can spam ""LFG Nathanos Blightcaller"" all day long. All you will hear is crickets.

It's really too bad that by ""adding content"" via an expansion, Blizzard ends up de facto ""removing content"" because no one bothers with the old difficult quests anymore, unless they can be soloed.

So whoever said if you kill the dogs first the skeletons will be gone was very wrong lol they kept coming even after the dogs were killed.

We started out with a 70 shadow priest (who attemped healing it), 57 feral druid, and a 70 fury warrior. We wiped first try, then the second try we decided to do the dogs first. Got one dog down, wiped. We went back, got the second dog down, and then wiped again so we only had Nathanos Blightcaller left. We got another 70 fury warrior to join us who helped out the group to get him down. It was really easy after that since neither of the dogs had respawned yet, just had him and the skeletons to deal with. I am sure if the other warrior had joined sooner, we would have been able to take him down with the dogs, as well. Good luck.

I was going back and doing all quests I missed for the Loremaster achievement and this was one of them. I tried to solo him just for kicks (70 Warrior) even though I had a feeling it was suicide. Sure enough, I could only get him to about 60-70% before biting the dust.

Asked guild to see if 3-4 more people were able to come and help. A ret pally came over before anyone else could. I was sitting down to get food buff when he stormed in. I just sat there lol'ing at him.

Pally solo-ed Blightcaller, and dogs, with 40% health remaining. GG ret.

This quest is ""yellow"" for me at lvl 59. Everything I'm reading says that if you're buffed, know what you're doing and luck is on your side, you *might* be able to solo it at 70. I'm also reading that often it takes, at minimum, three 68-70 people to do it safely (and relatively quickly). So why is this quest available at such a low level? Yes, I know the point is to get a raid group together. But like other people have stated, tried it recently? So, sadly, I've had to abandon this quest in search of slightly easier targets. An NPC that isn't even (likely) soloable at level 70 is probably not the best quest target for someone who is under level 60. Just sayin'.

Soloed as level 80 warlock destruction fire spec, mostly northrend blues. first I killed 2 dogs and killed myself. then came again and killed Nathanos at the first attempt. i used felhuner for the bonus damage buff, and 1 healthstone. I ignored the skeletons and when Nathanos died they killed me (but quest completed).
looks like currently any 1-2 level 80 can complete it with no truble.

As a level 70 Protection Warrior pre-heroics geared I couldn't kill it. Simply got my face hitting the floor pretty fast.

Now as a leel 80 Protection Warrior pre-heroics with about 23k HP it was a joke. He barely took 10% from my life away.
The thing that hits the most is actually the part where he will fear you for a couple of seconds and you'll be standing with your back against the mobs. But even then they didn't do much damage.
Really easy.

Probably even more faster and easier for a Protection Paladin because of the many mobs hitting you, the chance of proccing Recknoning is enormous.

Also keep in mind that attacking him will put you in PvP mode. So make sure there aren't any hordies nearby.

Some funny thing I noticed about the dogs is that they have buff that tells it does xx damage to allies. So it should damage the other dog, because they are allies. But it doesn't. So the tooltip seems to be incorrect.

We have done this quest today (patch 3.0.3 - one day before 3.0.8 was released in EU) with a group of five characters:
  • level 70 protection paladin
  • level 70 holy priest
  • level 70 frost mage
  • level 70 frost mage
  • level 70 elemental shaman
Here are a few hints for those who still want to do this quest:
  1. Pull the dogs: you can pull the dogs without pulling https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=11878 Nathanos Blightcaller. The dogs are easy to kill, and quickly downed.
  2. Pull Nathanos: it does not matter where you pull him. The number of summoned skeletons will not differ. Whatever you do, pull out any damage you can to kill him. The longer he is alive, the more skeletons will appear and those do not despawn if Nathanaos dies.
  3. The skeletons summoned: those only have ~ 900 HP, and do not hit hard. But if there are 40 around, you will very unlikely survive. You can not kill them with any AOE spell, and it seems Holy Shield does not affect them either. Every skeleton has to be killed one by one.
Sadly there is no real reward for this quest, not even a small event in Stormwind when you hand in the quest.

Did I miss somewhere, that this is a PVP Questline?
Just finished it, Hunter LVL 80, with a DK 76 and a second Hunter LVL 79.
When we finished, we were on PVP.
Was this normal for everyone else? Or I'm just missing something here?
Or, did Blizz turn this into a PVP location event to keep it a challenge?

Thanks for all the great details, noobs or not, they helped me out a lot.

I just completed the quest with a party of 5, although it was really tough. Most of us were dead or nearly dead by the time the SoB went down.

60 Moonkin Druid (in Grand Marshal gear)
57 Rogue
67 Priest (healer)
61 Mage
59 Death Knight (unholy)

We focused on taking out the dogs first, one at a time, which is what did it for us I think. Having them removed from the equation as early as possible made it easier to deal with the ranger and his puny skeletons.

We were fortunate in that no Horde interfered with our attempt, although I think this was mainly because they were ignorant of it.

Also it's worth noting that our organization wasn't the best, as we were pretty much a Stratholme PuG that I convinced to run south for the quest. The Death Knight even said his ghoul would tank for us. To the ghoul's credit, it survived for a few seconds. The moral of the story is that you can still pull off this quest without bringing in the big guns. It simply takes dedication, and a group willing to keep trying after a few wipes.

Soloed as geared 80 prot pally, losing no noticeable health.

Then soloed him on my 79 BM hunter in crafted resilience blues, using my tanking (tenacity) pet - a much longer and tougher fight. Feigned death once to shake off skeletons.

You cannot pull the dogs on their own, pull 1, all 3 come. I managed to kite the dog a fair way from the house but as soon as it caught up with me it dazed and Blightcaller caught up and killed me.

Did it with a guild mate as a 66 Warlock (me) and 73 Boomkin and it wasn't too bad to do, killed him first then a dog before a horde ? came by and attacked but certainly possible with 2 people.

Totally just solo'ed this as a level 74 arms warrior. Followed the advice about taking out the dogs first-that helped out a ton. Healed up, buffed some with food, then charged in. Bladestorm helped out a lot and I would advise having at least one potion on you during this fight-I used a super healing potion.

Beat him by the skin of my teeth and then got killed by the still-battling skeletons, but finally totally pwned his ass.

Solo'd today, 80 arcane mage. Fairly tough all things considered though for the area, I put out my mirrors to help with the adds and had to bubble; each mob took a little bit under what it takes me to kill a harder 80. Could have frost nova'd too but wasn't in any danger of dying, just ended up being a bit stronger than I had figured.

It's too bad players the level for that area will have a hard time getting a group for it.. really do like the quests in WoW.

Wanted to check here if the Raid part still applied to be able to get credit for the kill. People said they had soloed it, but that doesn't mean you weren't in a raid with someone who was in Dalaran.

So I tried it and it worked without being in a raid, it's solo-soloable :)
