The Hammer May Fall

Kill 8 Boulderfist Ogres and 10 Boulderfist Enforcers, then find Drum Fel in the Hammerfall outpost in Arathi Highlands.
  •  
Boulderfist Ogre slain (8)
  •  
Boulderfist Enforcer slain (10)

Description

Weaklings... all of them. You, <class>, what are you looking at? Think you're something special, huh? Why not prove it?

The Hammerfall outpost in Arathi's under attack. Unless we send them help soon, their demise is imminent.

But before you go rushing off, you may want to test your skills first. Northeast of Stromgarde in Arathi is an ogre mound inhabited by the Boulderfist tribe. When you can handle the ogres and enforcers there, then report to Drum Fel in Hammerfall.

Reward

Also, you get: 30

Progress

I have not the time to sharpen my axe, let alone leave the outpost to slay those beasts that would try and slay my kin.

You do not seem to have the experience of a grunt let alone a full-fledged warrior, what do you want, <name>?

Completion

So, you think you're strong enough to help Hammerfall? So be it.

Tallow either sent you to that ogre mound in the hopes that you would kill yourself or he thinks you're strong enough to aid us. Either way, you're here now and I am in need of more soldiers in our fight against the constant attacks.

If you plan on staying in Hammerfall then get some rest, and come speak to me again when you're ready. There's no shortage of fighting to be had.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:

Where is it: Arathi Highlands (SE of TM - follow the road)
Cosmos Level: 32
Creep Level : Ogres are 32-33, Enforcers are 33-34
Located at : Ogres are anywhere from 31, 48 to 35, 44, which is North (and a little East) of Stromguard. Enforcers are inside the cave at 35, 44

Creep XP : About 230 (for a level 32 mage, with normal rest)
Quest Completion : 2550 XP, and 30 silver.
Creep Drops : About 1 silver, and 30 copper per ogre. Good farming for tailors, since I had a pretty constant drop of silk and wool

Tips : - When they become enraged, they double their damage (from about 45 per hit, to about 100 per hit), but become much slower. Even a few steps back will buy you a few seconds more.
- I noticed that they had a fairly decent aggro range, so its best if you cleared the area instead of sneaking by them.
- Ogres are based along the road, and just North of Strom. The road is used often by both horde and alliance, but I noticed more alliance than horde. Some folks also wait for their group on the road outside Strom, so you might
get picked off if you're on a pvp server . Its best to try and stay infront of the cave.

- Really good area for Herbologists. Noticed an assortment of plants =)

Finish:
Cash it at Hammerfall with a guy called 'Drum Fel' on the upperdeck, near the inn, at 74, 33
Time:
Took me about 40 minutes as a 32 mage, but I died twice, and did some pvp fighting.

Enjoy =)!

btw location is 34,44

The mobs are between levels 32 and 34, neither are mana users.
The Ogres(1147 HP) are scattered outside of the cave, and Enforcers(1280 HP) are inside the cave (All in the general area of 34,43)
There are also Witherbark Witch Doctors(Shamans, 1023 hp) in the area, same levels

Not too tough as a 30 hunter.

Vena speaks the truth.
Call of Arms (slaying the Witherbarks) is getable at Hammerfall and makes this quest dissapear. You can abandon it and take this quest (The hammer may fall) then.

Bread crumb quest, but this one special since it requires you to kill certain npcs, then find someone instead of the traditional bread crumb quest where npc A sends you to find npc B.
