Deadwood of the North

Nafien would like you to kill 6 Deadwood Den Watchers, 6 Deadwood Avengers, and 6 Deadwood Shamans. Return to him in northern Felwood near the entrance to Timbermaw Hold.
  •  
Deadwood Den Watcher slain (6)
  •  
Deadwood Avenger slain (6)
  •  
Deadwood Shaman slain (6)

Description

There is a camp of Deadwood furbolgs directly to our southwest. Corruption permeates the camp, and I wish to put an end to it before they become a problem.

The Deadwood tribe is evil, but it is the effects of the fel that pollutes their minds. Their hostility is not truly an innate quality, yet they cannot be helped. It saddens me that we must fight our own brethren.

Please, <name> - I ask you to do what must be done. Simply spare me the details; such troublesome images upset me far too much.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Leggings of the Ursa
Helm of the Pathfinder

Progress

Once you gain the trust of the Timbermaw, I am confident there will be something we will be able to do for you. The Timbermaw do not forget their allies, especially in dark times such as these.

Completion

I sense that you have achieved victory. Victory... such a hollow word considering what had to be done. Regardless, you've proven yourself to be worthy of our trust.

It may take some time before the Timbermaw welcome you without hostility within the Hold. Still, your perseverance will erode any suspicion my brethren may have about you. So long as you never betray us and raise weapons against us, we will find common ground.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 565 experience (33 90 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Timbermaw Hold

If your heading towards the quest giver before the tunnel cave then you will find the Deadwood's on your left.....to the west!

Remember this - The Deadwood Shamans ARE a piece of cake to kill when your above say lvl 53-54 OR if you have a lot of health and s*** hot armor! OR if you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve.

otherwise don't be smart and underestimate the things because they have their own thunderclap and yes it does do quite a lot of damage if your soloing as a low level!

I did it with my 54 human warrior and even at that level i found them a little bit harder then the others.

Anyway i hope that helps :) x

AC are a pain in all of felwood, i will never forget tormenting a rogue trying to finish the escort quest from jaedenar, anyway be careful horde! everytime i try to do this quest it seems to be atleast 2 70s holding a bunch of mid 50's hands while doing this... its nearly impossible to do it without having to slaughter ac over and over until they log off. but the quest itself is fairly easy

Careful, they're going to call for help at low health, and they are LOUD. I'm serious, they call furbolgs across continents. I had a lot of trouble as a 55 feral druid.

Did this as a lvl 50 lock. They did shout for help but learned to pull them away from the others. Worse part is there are very few shammys about so you have to do a lot of overkill to get them to spawn.

I can confirm the reputation reward for this has been doubled. I got 700 rep for doing it last night.

Completely soloable as a resto druid at 50. Some notes:

1) The Den Watchers are the only ones who call for help. They do it at about 30% health. If you've pulled them far enough away from any other furbolgs that you don't pull adds (at 50), they're far enough away that they won't bring any adds by calling for help, either.

2) Shamans do not seem to have a thunderclap ability any longer. They'll just spam lightning bolt until they're OOM, then close and melee you. They don't hit too hard in melee even on someone ~4 levels below them. I simply stayed in caster and healed myself until they ran out of mana if I didn't manage to get the jump on them in cat. Mana-burning classes will likely have this easier.

3) Avengers hit very hard and very fast. If you are a class that can stun, I highly recommend keeping them locked down as much as you possibly can while killing them.

4) If you get more than one, just run. There's enough room alongside the road that you can generally get one to reset while the other follows you.

wow, this quest was quite the pain in the arse for me, at least. a group of 2 54's led by a 70 were making laps through the village, i guess they were farming something these npcs dropped, i'll never know. regardless, i was continually smashed without mercy trying to finish this up. be careful

On my server, there were 70s there getting reputation and kept wiping them out before I could get to them. Other than that, the quest is rather easy and good for gaining reputation.

Very fast respawn time so watch your back. Did this as a lvl 46 Rogue alongside a 48 Hunter. Easy quest, easy rep.

Is this quest available when you are revered with https://vanillawowdb.com/?faction=576 Timbermaw Hold? I was hoping to grind with the Mobs at http://www.wowwiki.com/Deadwood_Village Deadwood Village till hitting Revered and then finishing this quest along with https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8466 Feathers for Grazle or https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8467 Feathers for Nafien
