The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
With the magical dust you recovered, I have fashioned a magic ointment that will aid in our own defenses.
Our dire wolves are the perfect combination of mount, sentry and friend, but the Alliance scum have been poaching them in the Jagged Ridge.
<name>, I want you to take this ointment and apply it to our dire wolf friends. The Alliance will get a rude surprise the next time that they send one of their hunting parties.
Be aware though that some of the wolves may not like this, and will turn on you.
Progress
How fares the bolstering of our Thunderlord dire wolves' defenses?
Completion
Now that you have strengthened the wolves, and the Jagged Ridge's defenses, perhaps we can refocus our attentions on more deadly matters, such as the ogres?
You have done a good job in aiding us here. We could use the help of someone capable, such as yourself, should you decide to stay.
Whatever you do, you have earned my respect and appreciation.

Relevant locations
What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Blade's Edge Mountains), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
