What to do

Bring 8 Unprepared Sawtooth Flanks to Tok'Kar in Swamp of Sorrows.

Objective by objective

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

I'm working on getting some supplies together for our outpost near the beach to the east-- Tok'kar does what he can, but between shifts of guard duty and cooking for his soldiers there's not much time left in the day.

They do enjoy cooking up some sawtooth meat when they can, but I haven't had time to get them another shipment. Would you mind helping them out?

The young sawtooths aren't as tasty as the older ones, so stay clear of those; give them a year or two to get to full size.

Progress

Lok'tar, <class>. Traveling through the swamps isn't a risk taken lightly. You're brave to test your mettle here.

Completion

Ah! Wonderful. Fresh meat for the fire tonight. Thank you, <name>.

You've helped make the coming nights more tolerable. The fire burns bright, and our stomachs will be full.

It's a pleasant surprise to have you bring us a shipment; Dar 's not the most attractive orc anyone's laid eyes upon, but at least his attitude reeks far less than his smell.

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 (Swamp of Sorrows), 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.
