What to do
Speak to Kadrak at Mor'shan Ramparts and accompany him to Splintertree Post.
The quest giver's words
You're coming with me, <name>.
There's no one else that I can spare, and we cannot afford for Splintertree to be lost.
Prepare yourself, and speak to me again when you are ready.
Progress
Work complete!
Completion
Gorka's death was not in vain, <name>.
Splintertree would have certainly fallen if we hadn't come when we did.
Now we must get to work shoring up her defenses.
This isn't over....

What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
-
Gorka's Band
item #60644 · Uncommon · item level 21 · sells for 7s 13c
- Money
- 10s
- and 7s 80c more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
- Experience
- 1,250
-
at level 26 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 19–26 1,250 100% 27 1,000 80% 28 750 60% 29 500 40% 30 250 20% 31–89 130 10% 90 none 7s 80c more money The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 1,250 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

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.
This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 2 runs by 2 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 available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 2) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 2 from 2) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 1 min 21 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 1,375 XP, done around level 23.
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 (The Barrens), 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.
