Verog the Dervish

Bring Verog's Head to Regthar Deathgate, west of the Crossroads.
Verog's Head

Description

The centaur Verog the Dervish wanders the Barrens, and will be difficult to find. But he is based at the centaur command tent at the Stagnant Oasis to the southeast. It may be possible to draw him to you.

Travel to the Stagnant Oasis to the southeast and attack centaur near the command tent. It will be dangerous, but if you can kill enough centaur then they should raise an alarm. And Verog will come.

Bring me his head and I will place it with Barak Kodobane's.

Reward

Also, you get: 10

Progress

Did you find Verog, <name>?

Completion

Very good. You must have really stirred up those centaur -- our guards spotted activity down near the Stagnant Oasis, which was probably you.

You should be proud of your deed, <name>. There is much bravery in you.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 100 experience (6 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Orgrimmar

The command tent is at 53,40. Verog spawns slightly south of there at 52,41

You have to kill the other Centaurs around the command tent until Verog will spawn. You will hear him yell, and that is when you can go find him. He will spawn at the area where the Kolkar Chest is, just a tad south of the command tent.

He is very easy!

I would recommend that you stay around the tent that has the Booty Chest.....he definetely spawns there. Very easy kill.

Took me almost 45 minutes of killing centaurs to get him to spawn.

I hate quests like this.

this quest was pretty annoying. I fought centaurs for about 30 minutes, and no one called Verog, then he just appeared right in front of me as I was waiting for respawns. Pretty random I'm guessing.

Centaur stopped yelling ""I am slain!"" after like the 3rd kill. I've killed everything around the tent with the chest 3 times and no Verog, so I guess it really is totally random?

EDIT:

The ""Command Tent"" is located along the West side of the Stagnant Oasis, up against the hill. It consists of a single canopy with a raised platform and two large banners out in front of it, dissimilar to the random tent collections around the outskirts of the Oasis. When he spawned for me, he was standing on the platform under the tent.

The amount of time / number of kills it takes to summon him does appear to be totally random. I hope this helped.

I wasn't having any luck getting him to spawn, so I came here. When I saw that he doesn't actually spawn at the command tent, I moved to where he actually spawns and killed the guy who was on the platform he appears on (see the already posted screenshot for reference). Verog immediately spawned on top of the underling's corpse. Go figure!

I read two comments, one that said they decided to kill one more, and he'd spawn, and the other that said they saw the people yell ""I'm slain, summon Verog!""... I got back in the game, saw one more centaur in the area, after slaying centaurs for a good 25 minutes (and im Level 23 mind you...) and the last centaur did exactly what the both said. I was freaked out. Last one I was going to do, and the guy said the quote....Still easy quest, get the kill...

This is funny: I killed about 30 centaurs before he got summoned. I killed him. Then I ran to the stagnant oasis to do another quest and when I killed the first centaur I encountered Verog got summoned again, lawl. Guess this is proof it IS random :P

The worst thing about this quest is not the sometimes ridiculous number of kills to summon him, but the fact that the summoned Verog isn't tagged to you.
Imagine spending more than 15 minutes killing centaur, then at last the message pops up. You run to the spawn point, only to find that some other %^&amp;*!@# waited there and is killing him in front of your eyes without having lifted a finger to summon him.

Fast forward to 2019, this quest should be abandoned asap unless you think you are a very lucky person. I've spent 1 hour waiting for booty chest to appear in the forgotten pool, then gave up went to this quest after spending 45 mins killing mobs checking for the boss or booty to appear, I see someone taking the booty chest as I killed a mob. I was so mad. Just after that another mob appeared next to me killed him, and I see the same person killing the boss guy. Well, I am beyond mad and done with this quest line. It is suckiest utter bullshit waste of time quest line ever. This is the only thing I hate about classic. Quest objectives should never get a persons ownership.

Total PITA. I've saw where he was summoned three times and couldn't find him. The fourth, he was finally where it says above.

I've killed now 5th time all centaurs and no verog. Even noone from this centaurs screamed to summon verog.. one hour of my life and no verog

Yeah, when I took the quest, I was level 17 and fresh, and until I became level 18, I killed centaurs but no centaur rang the alarm so no Verog!

The centaurs south of the command tent also work for summoning Verog. Killed a few there and Verog was summoned at the tent.

I've heard of a similar issue with hunters and pets, however, I'm not sure it applies to this quest... I spent a lot of time killing centaurs to no avail... Verog just would not spawn.

I put my pet on passive, killed the nearest centaur and lo and behold... Verog spawns. If you are a hunter or warlock, considering killing a centaur without the aid of your pet and see what it does for you.

Didn't have to do anything special. Ran around and one shotted centaurs for a little while, then he summoned. Got the summon from a centaur from the far east end of the stagnant oasis.

Counts for loremaster.

Completely changed in Cataclysm. You no longer have to run around killing kolkar in order to get him to spawn. After completing a pre-quest called http://cata.aowow.org/https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=14072 Flushing out Verog where you collect 4 maps(called Centaur Intelligence) from any of the centaur camps you are offered this one. Travel to 51,78(new coords) which is the old Verog spawn point and look for a new kolkar called Wyneth. Kill him and Verog will spawn immediately down the hill a little way. He will then run at you and engage in combat.

Kill him and quest is done.

I put my pet on passive and killed all the centaurs on my way to the command tent. Killed the centaur in the command tent and he summoned Verog.

Confirmed this quest counts for Loremaster Kalmidor.

In trying to do this for Loremaster, I ran around killing centaurs for awhile and he wouldn't spawn. I tried taking my weapon off and punched them all to death just to make it more amusing while I passed the time hoping he would spawn. Finally, after going back to the larger tent near his spawning location and killing them a bit slower (no weapon) he popped right up.

After the shattering you no longer have to kill hundreds of centaurs. You only have to kill Wyneth at 51, 78 and she'll ""call out for her mate"" and Varog will come running.

Wyneth is at the command tent up a hill just west of the Stagnant Oasis. Go up the hill, up the ramp, kil her, and Verog will spawn and run up the hill. Kill him and quest complete.
