Wailing Caverns Maps: Quest Objectives Pinpointed

Hamuul Runetotem:

  This quest is the first quest in the chain of quests leading up to the eventual and actual instance quest titled Leaders of the Fang. In order to obtain this quest you must first complete a chain of quests which starts from Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem whom can be found in Thunder Bluff. The list of quests leading up to this one are titled in order as follows: The Barrens Oasis, The Forgotten pools, The Stagnant Oasis, and finally to end this first chain Altered Beings. Now that this chain of quests is complete, Tonga Runetotem will have a new quest… this one.

Nara Wildmane:

  This is the second quest in the chain after Hamuul Runetotem. After speaking with Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem, speak with Nara Wildmane in that very same tent. This will lead you to the following quest.

Leaders of the Fang:

  Our goal here is to obtain the Gem of Cobrahn, Anacondra, Pythas, and Serpentis. I recommend starting with Lady Anacondra, who spawns in one of the four places indicated by (area 1) on the map below. Next move to the western region of the instance and work your way up the winding pathway to (area 2) where you will face Lord Cobrahn. From this area you will now work your way east and then slightly northeast up to (area 3) where you will face Lord Pythas. From this area head due south until you reach the southern most pathway of the instance, once there skirt along the bottom of the map heading west again, only make sure not to drop back down to the water ways below. Providing you have staid along the right course here, you should be gradually climbing your way up to where the final boss for this quest, Lord Serpentis resides in (area 4.)

Deviate Hides:

  OK. So this quest is very simple being that Deviate Hides drop off of nearly everything once you’ve entered the Caverns. Mind you that you do not even have to enter the instance, though of course the Hides inside the instance as well. To get and/or hand in this quest, talk to Nalpak, whom is above the entrance to Wailing Caverns, in the left eye so to speak. Run around the back of the caverns entrance and climb up the hillside. Once you’ve reached the top most ledge, drop down to the nose and hop over to the eye entrance. Its really easy if you give it a couple of tries.

Smart Drinks:

  Wailing Essenceis quite easy to obtain; simply kill the ‘ectoplasmic’ creatures as the quest states. They are the gelatinous sludge goobers, the slimy bubble popping creatures slithering about. You can’t miss them.

Trouble at the Docks:

  Mad Magglish, the guy who drops the 99-Year-Old Port can be found outside the instance in a few different places. On the map below are all of the locations I could discover. If there are others I would be surprised. If you find another spawn location, please let me know about it so i can update this walk-through. Thanks.

Serpentbloom:

  This quest is very simple and can be done outside the instance, yet still must be done within the depths of the Wailing Caverns.Run around and loot all the flowers you can find which resemble the following screen-shot.

Deviate Eradication:

  In (area 1) on the below map, you will find Deviate Vipers which in likeness to their name, are the large cobra looking snakes. In (area 2) you will find the Deviate Ravagers which are the pink raptors. In (area 3) you will find the Deviate Dreadfangs, the blue wind serpent looking things. And finally in (area 4) you will find the Deviate Shamblers, which are the large lurking swamp things.

The Glowing Shard:

  In order to obtain this quest you must first kill the four Druid bosses in this instance: Lady Anacondra, Lord Cobrahn, Lord Pythas, and Lord Serpentis. For their exact locations you can refer to the very first map of this walk-through, beneath Leaders of the Fang.
  After these four are slain, return to the instance entrance (still inside the instance!) and talk to the Disciple of Naralex. You will now begin the escort quest–though it should be noted it’s not really a quest as most escort quests are not. The Disciple will lead you to (area a) on the map below and you will need to protect him. Eventually Mutanus the Devourer rises from the water, slay him and you almost done. After you’ve slain Mutanus, loot the carcass to receive The Glowing Shard. Right click the shard to begin this quest.
  Take the shard to Ratchet, which is located in The Barrens and speak with Sputtervalve. After speaking with him, return to the Wailing Cavernsentrance, but don’t go in. Run around back and scale the mountain to its peaks until you find Falla Sagewind, whom you speak with to complete this quest and pick up a new one.
