Grizzly Hills - Alliance

Below is a list of all the quests, broken into Alliance and Horde sections. They are not in any particular order at the moment, once I get a chance to experience them (and level to get there), I may rearrange them into the best 'grouped' order.

From: Commander Howser at the lighthouse in Venture Bay
Objective: Destroy the Horde lumber shipment.
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins (see what you can spend the coins on here)
Note: General Gorlok will only be present at the lighthouse when the Alliance have it in their possession. How do you take over the lighthouse from the other faction? Flag and tap the flag right near the Lighthouse. It has to be fully in your factions control to have the quest NPC spawn.
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

The fuel required is Element 115 located at the goblin boat (16,81). Take the Element 115 to the rockets at (14,89) and then steer it into the Lumberboat. Steer by just holding down right click and directing - it doesn't turn very fast so you gotta get used to it and prolly won't get it on your first try.
Useful things to note when doing this:

• While carrying the Element 115 you can mount up without dropping it, but you won't run any faster than normal running speed, so don't bother. You can however swim or water-walk across the water instead of running around the piers.
• When you're riding the torpedo, use the keys to turn and not the mouse. If you use your mouse, the camera will turn faster than the rocket and disorient you. The keys will turn at the same speed as the rocket and keep your camera forward all the time.
• The boat you have to destroy is the wooden Horde boat up by the lumber mill, NOT the central metallic one with the captain. Don't waste your time aiming for the one in the middle, your target is northwest of this.
• Avoid all the ice while on the torpedo, if you hit any of the ice floating on the water, or an iceberg, the torpedo will explode and you'll have to go back and get the element all over again.

[74] Blackriver Skirmish (Alliance - PvP)
From: Scout Captain Carter at Amberpine Lodge
Objective: Scout Captain Carter wants you to kill 10 Horde units or players in the Blackriver Logging Camp.
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s, 10 Venture Coins and 250 reputation with Valiance Expedition
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

Although, upon accepting the quest you will be flagged for PvP, the quest text is a little misleading. You do not have to kill horde players, just mobs. Conquest Hold Raiders will do. Nice and easy... providing no delays in PvP action. Of course, killing Horde players also works!


[74] Keep Them at Bay! (Alliance - PvP)
From: Lieutenant Stuart just east of Venture Bay
Objective: Defeat 10 Horde units or players in Venture Bay and return to Lieutenant Stuart.
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

Very simple - kill 10 Horde you can find in Venture Bay.


[74] Kick 'Em While They're Down (Alliance - PvP)
From: Sergeant Hartsman found just off the path between Grizzlemaw and Blue Sky Logging Grounds
Objective: Sergeant Hartsman wants you to defeat 15 Horde units or players in Blue Sky Logging Grounds.
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 250 reputation with Valiance Expedition
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

Again, easy. Just locate and kill 15 Horde units or players in Blue Sky Logging Grounds.


[74] Life or Death (Alliance - PvP)
From: Rheanna at Blue Sky Logging Grounds
Objective: Use the Renewing Bandage on 10 Wounded Westfall Infantry units to heal them
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 250 reputation with Valiance Expedition
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

You'll find these kneeling around the Blue Sky Logging Grounds. Simply right click the bandages while targeting one to use.


[74] Pieces Parts (Alliance - PvP)
From: Pipthwack in Blue Sky Logging Grounds
Objective: Collect 4 Grooved Cogs, 3 Notched Sprockets, and 2 High Tension Springs.
Reward: 20750 experience and 5g 60s
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

Found lying all around Blue Sky Logging Grounds, a simple collect mission.


[74] Shredder Repair (Alliance - PvP)
From: Synipus at Blue Sky Logging Grounds
Objective: Return 3 Broken-down Shredders
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and Key to Refurbished Shredder
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

There are two Broken-down Shredders within the Blue Sky Logging Grounds. They look like the goblin shredders found in Thousand Needles etc.

• Location 32.8, 39.7 North side of the mini 'island' like patch of ground. Under the 'gg' in logging...
• Location 37.1, 43.0 Just south-east of the river

[74] Smoke 'Em Out (Alliance - PvP)
From: Sergeant Downey just east of Venture Bay
Objective: Use the Smoke Bomb to drive 20 Venture Company Stragglers from their buildings
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

If you stand at location 17, 77 you can see the bunkhouse, sawmill, and stables. The mobs stop attacking you once you activate the bomb, so aggro as many as you can (instant corruption/curse of Agony if no one around, wand them if it's busy) and once they are all at your side, throw the bomb at your feet. Can complete the quest in 2 - 3 pulls baring other people taking all the mobs.


[74] Down With Captain Zorna! (Alliance - PvP)
From: Baron Freeman at Venture Bay
Objective: Slay Captain Zorna
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

This quest is labeled for group, recommended 3 players, but a lot of players are reporting that it is easy soloable. As Warlocks, we should have no trouble *smirk*.

[74] Seared Scourge (Both)
From: Mack Fearsen at Granite Springs
Objective: Mack at Granite Springs wants you to use his grog to burn 30 Famished Scourge Trolls.
Reward: 5g

Around location 16.6, 30.6 you can stay on the road and throw the grog at the famished trolls on the ground. They group really bad you are lucky to get one on every toss. Alternatively since we have minions, you send the pet in grab a couple of them, gather them together and keep your distance enough to toss the bottle then run off to leave battle and redo it. If you have a Mage friend with you, this is an easy quest. Simply mount up, round as many as you can; then frost nova them, blink and use the grog.

Grizzly Hills - Horde

Venture Bay and other posts along the main river are one of the lesser PvP areas of Northrend - except on a wider scale with more daily PvP quests. The best thing about it however, is that you can group your quests together and knock them out at the same time. Running around killing other players, while collecting parts and returning shredders. What could be better than that? Getting experience every day for it! So for those players who love PvP, but hate the leveling required to get involved, this may be your answer.


[74] Blackriver Brawl (Horde - PvP)
From: Raider Captain Kronn at the Blackriver Logging Camp.
Objective: Kill 10 Alliance units or players
Reward: 20750 experience and 5g 60s
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

[74] Seared Scourge (Both)
From: Mack Fearsen at Granite Springs
Objective: Mack at Granite Springs wants you to use his grog to burn 30 Famished Scourge Trolls.
Reward: 5g

Pre-requisites: In order to do this daily, you need to do a couple of quests that will then activate the pre-requisite:

1. If you are in or near Conquest Hold, you can speak to Sergeant Thurkin to accept Good Troll Hunting. This simply sends you where you need to go anyway.
   
2. Once you speak to Samir, you can accept Filling the Cages which is the first real 'quest' you need to do. This quest, I found, is a bit annoying and doesn't give you anywhere near the amount of information it should. Once you have to quest, you want to locate Budd, who is sitting in the tent Samir is facing (sort of), location 16, 48. If he's not there, someone might have grabbed him recently, so just wait a few seconds for him to reappear (there can be multiple Budd's). Talking to him causes him to follow you for 10 minutes.

   Note: You can't have a Pet and Budd at the same time as you need Budd's 'pet bar'...
   

   Make your way to the Ruins of Drak'Zin, which is directly south of Granite Springs - location 13, 61. This is where it can get a bit tricky, but luckily for you I did every stuff up possible to learn what not to do, so you don't have to. Ok, so basically:

   1. Locate a lone Troll - you want a single one on it's own. Make sure you clear any wandering trash around it - including any Windserpents.
   2. Do not agro the Troll!
   3. Select the 'stun' ability on Budd's Toolbar. This will cause him to stun the nearest Troll, not necessarily your target.
   4. Once the Troll is stunned, move in closer and right click the trap from your inventory to trap it.

   Be aware of anyone else around doing the same quest, because it can cause both Budd's to go for the same target. Budd despawns once you use him, so you don't want to waste him. If he does despawn, simple return to Granite Springs and grab another one.
   
   Once you are done, return and hand in.
   
3. Drakuru, just down from Samir will now give you the quest Truce? Very simple. Beside Drakuru is a tree stump with a knife sticking out of it. Right click the knife to loot it, and then right click it from your inventory to cut your hand. Once you have done that, speak to Drakuru and shake his hand to complete the pact. Done. Complete quest.
   
4. Next is Vial of Visions, also from Drakuru. Talk to the female troll standing a couple of yards away to purchase the imbued vials, then head due north towards the river. While you are running you will (hopefully) see the Haze Leaf, they are sparkly bushes scattered all around. The Waterweeds are from the bottom of the river, which you may need to clear a couple of Threshers to get to. Location is approx 14, 40.
   
   

   
   

   
   
5. Once you return and hand that in, Subject to Interpretation will become available. But, don't worry about that quest. The one you're after now is Scourgekabob from Prigmon just a few feet away. This is the pre-requisite line you need for the daily. If you want to continue Subject to Interpretation, by all means, but it's not needed for the daily. Instead, you want to right click one of the Mummified Troll Carcass' to loot it, run over to where Mack Fearsen is standing (who is near Drakuru) and right click the carcass again to throw it on the fire.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. You can now collect the quest that becomes the daily - Seared Scourge. First time you do it, you only need to burn 20 Famished Scourge Trolls - the daily requires you to burn 30. If you've been to Drak'Tharon, you will know the big stairs that lead into it. Either side of the stairs you will find the Famished Scourge Trolls. If you've not yet been to Drak'Tharon, just make your way north from Granite Springs to 17, 30.
   
   The grog that Mack gives you is long range - you can't drop it at your feet. This is good though, as you can stand just in off the path and bomb the trolls from a safe distance. The trolls walk all around the area, in no particular pattern, so aim where you think a few might wander to try to burn more than one at a time. The good part is that when you do throw your grog, multiple trolls can walk through it, both as it lands as well as the few seconds after. It's possible to get up to 5 Trolls in a go.
   
   The easiest way to do it as a Warlock is to use your pet - Voidwalker works best. Get him to hit a few and round them up, then throw your grog to burn them. If you have a mage, rounding and Frost Nova to hold them in place, then bomb. Easy. If you run out of grog before you obtain your burn count, simply return to Mack and request some more.

Once you hand this in, the exact same quest becomes available as a daily version. Only, you need to kill 30, not 20. Easy, and no PvP required!


Blue Sky Logging Ground

Next on my PvP route is the Blue Sky Logging Ground. Found just north-east of Granite Springs, it provides 4 quick and easy dailies that can be done together. All four quests are picked up at the same area - on the north west side river bank, location approximately 34, 33. Like the first quest, you will be PvP flagged for as long as the quests remain in your log.



[74] Keep 'Em on Their Heels (Horde - PvP)
From: Commander Bargok at the Blue Sky Logging Ground.
Objective: Kill 15 Alliance units or players
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 250 reputation with Warsong Offensive
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

[74] Making Repairs (Horde - PvP)
From: Lurz at Blue Sky Logging Grounds
Objective: Collect 4 Grooved Cogs, 3 Notched Sprockets, and 2 High Tension Springs
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 250 reputation with Warsong Offensive
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

[74] Overwhelmed! (Horde - PvP)
From: Aumana at Blue Sky Logging Grounds
Objective: Use the Renewing Tourniquet on 10 Wounded Skirmishers
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 250 reputation with Warsong Offensive
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

[74] Shred the Alliance (Horde - PvP)
From: Grekk at Blue Sky Logging Grounds
Objective: Acquire 3 shredders
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s, 250 reputation with Warsong Offensive and Key to Refurbished Shredder
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

Once you have collected the quests above, make your way over to the main 'island' part over the bridge. There are four main things you are looking for:

1. Wounded Westfall Infantry. These are Alliance NPC's which you can kill to count towards your 15 needed. If there are Alliance players around, they'll do too.
   
2. Wounded Skirmisher's. These are our Horde NPC's we need to heal with the Renewing Tourniquet provided. Target and right click the Tourniquet.
   
3. Broken-Down Shredders. There are a few of these around the camp - I saw at least 4. They look like the goblin shredders found in Thousand Needles, and when you mouse over them will give you the curved arrow, indicating you can 'mount' them. Simply get close enough to mount one, and direct it back to where you got your quests from. The shredders have 3 main features:

   1. Short Circuit - Hurls a lightning bolt at the enemy, dealing 728 to 844 damage and then jumps to additional nearby enemies.
      
   2. Backfire - Blinds nearby enemies, causing them to wander disorientated for up to 10 sec. Any damage caused will remove the effect.
      
   3. Overclock - Increases the shredder's movement speed by 300% for 5 seconds.

   Number 5 allows you to deliver the shredder once you arrive. Do this 3 times to complete the quest. I tend to grab them when ever I can as they can be hot property if the area is busy.
   
4. And last but not least, you are looking for sparklies!! Lying all around the place are Grooved Cogs, Notched Sprockets and High Tension Springs. They all sparkle, so just look for those and collect when you see.

I find the easiest way to do it is to run in looking for the sparklies and shredders. Return any shredders I find while looting the cogs and sprockets as it gets those out the way nice and quickly. Then you are free to kill and heal until complete. There is no real 'order' to do them though, find your own routine that suits. Four easy quests for some nice experience and gold.



Venture Bay
I choose to leave Venture Bay till last as it can be a busier area, but also because one of the quests, if you choose to do it, stops all speed enhancements as well as surrounds you with big flashing, yellow "come kill me" sparkles. Like the Blue Sky Logging Grounds, you collect your quests from a central location, run in to do them, then hand in. They will also keep you flagged for as long as they are in your quest log.

Venture Coins
Completing the quests in Venture Bay rewards you with Venture Coins. You can then use the coins to purchase items. In order to unlock the vendors, your faction must control the Venture Bay. This happens through an event similar to the Eastern Plaguelands Towers event, or Halaa - people of your faction on the southern island cause progression. Whichever faction has more people there moves the bar in their direction. Beware, the area is full of elite NPCs with ~33k hp if your faction is not controlling the Isle.

• Venture Battle Wand
• Arcane Revitalizer
• Goblin Repetition Reducer

[74] Crush Captain Brightwater! (Horde - PvP -Group)
From: General Khazgar at Venture Bay
Objective: Slay Captain Brightwater
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

[74] Smoke 'Em Out (Horde - PvP)
From: Stone Guard Ragetotem just out from Venture Bay
Objective: Use the Smoke Bomb to drive 20 Venture Company Stragglers from their buildings and then report to Stone Guard Ragetotem.
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.


[74] Keep Them at Bay (Horde - PvP)
From: Centurion Kaggrum just west of Venture Bay
Objective: Defeat 10 Alliance units or players in Venture Bay
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

Although the Captain Brightwater quest is labeled for group, it is very easy (for most) to solo. I did it without really blinking as a BM Hunter, so Warlocks should have no trouble. You will find the good captain on the furthest boat from the Horde camp. Run along the docks until you reach the second last pier, where the paddle boat is. It actually looks like a motorcycle more than a paddle boat, but if you look under the 'rear wheel' you can see it. I've included a picture below in case I've just utterly confused you.

The Captain is out on the deck. I got him with one friend, and didn't even really need to board the boat to agro him, so don't go running blindly on. He is elite, but very easy. I tend to go for him first to get him out the way.

Once you have dispatched of the captain, make your way to the buildings that overlook the piers. In there you will find the Venture Company Stragglers you need to smoke out. Each building has 5 - 10 or so in there. The best way I found to do it was to run in (or send your pet in if you're unsure) to gather them all up. They're all melee, so it's no problem. Once they are all together, throw your bomb down at their feet. The bomb stuns them and they take off, so you shouldn't take too much damage. Be aware though that hitting them does pushback the bomb cast time, but I've yet to have it be any real problem.

While you are clearing those, kill any Alliance NPC's (or players) that you pass to complete your kill count. Voila! Done!



[74] Seeking Solvent

This is the non PvP/Daily quest I mentioned above. I tend to do it on my way back because, well, I'm heading back anyway. If there is a lot of player PvP happening though, you can return your quests above to help drop your PvP flag and then go back and do this. The Element 115 is located in the captains quarters of the middle boat. It's full of Venture Company who won't flag you for PvP, but will give you XP and loot!

When you board the boat, you will have two options - to go up the stairs, or to go in the door. Ignore the stairs, take the door. This will take you practically to the captains quarters, where you need to kill a single mob and then loot one of the barrels you see there. Looting it will bind it to you, as well as give you a debuff that stops any form of movement enhancement (meaning there's no point mounting, hitting a sprint potion, etc) as well as increase the damage you take by 35%. The real kicker though is the bright yellow pulsating "come kill me" sparkles that surround you. This is why, if it's busy, you may want to do this unflagged.

Simply return the canister to Gurtor to hand in. Do it as many times as you like.



From: General Gorlok at the lighthouse in Venture Bay
Objective: Destroy the Alliance Lumber Boat.
Reward: 20750 experience, 5g 60s and 10 Venture Coins
Note: General Gorlok will only be present at the lighthouse when the Horde has it in their possession. How do you take over the lighthouse from the other faction? Flag and tap the flag right near the Lighthouse. It has to be fully in your factions control to have the quest NPC spawn.
Achievement: Grizzled Veteran Complete the Grizzly Hills PvP daily quests.

This quest is a bit tricky, especially if you are alone. General Gorlok will only be present at the lighthouse when the Horde have it in their possession. If it's under Alliance control, you need to flag up (/pvp on) and stand near the Lighthouse until the little ticker bar moves all the way across to Horde. Of course, the island will be covered with Alliance Guards... Elite guards, just to liven things up. The easiest way to convert the flag is to run along the dock closest to the Horde outpost, and jump into the water before you reach the island. Swim around until you see the dock with the rocket ship beside it. If there is an NPC standing near the dock, wait as he will walk away. Once it's safe, run up onto land and to the back of the lighthouse. Stand there (see screenshot at the end) until the lighthouse caps Horde. Takes about 15 - 20 minutes with just one person there.



Once it does, General Gorlok will spawn at the lighthouse door. There will be some fighting going on as the Horde kill all the Alliance NPCs, feel free to help out. Especially if the general is being attacked because if he gets killed, he doesn't respawn. Instead Alliance would have to covert it, and then Horde recap it. Once General Gorlok is available to talk, accept the quest.

Now you need to head over to the Venture Co boat and grab an Element 115. See the above notes on how to get one of those. Once you have it, make your way back to the island and back to do the dock behind the lighthouse. At the very end, in the water, you will see four little red rockets. As you get closer, you will see the green arrow indicating you can mount one, which you want to do. You only see the mount option when you have the Element 115 on your character.

The rocket will take off immediately, and this is where it gets tricky. You must avoid all icebergs and ice floes along the way and thread through them! You WILL get stuck in them, be ejected from your rocket, and have to get that annoying Element 115 again. It's advisable to steer the rocket with your keyboard, not your mouse, as the rocket is very slow to turn and using your mouse can disorientate you slightly.

You need to aim your rocket for the Alliance Lumberboat is located at 22, 84. Don't mistake it for the Alliance ship with Captain Brightwater on it - it's a big wooden one (east of the docks) with the alliance banners on it. See the screenshots below before you head out if you are unsure. Aim your rocket directly for the lumberboat - yes you want to crash right into it. Once you hit it, you'll be ejected high into the air with a parachute, and you should see some lovely fiery explosions on the boat.

Tip: Try to aim for an area on the lumberboat that doesn't have obstructions above. If you hit anything after you are ejected, it can cause it to fail, thus requiring you to do it all over again.
