What to do

Destroy any 15 of the night elf ghosts at Dor'danil Barrow Den.

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

D-did you hear that? Ghosts! I hate ghosts!

Their eerie howls are coming from the barrows to the south. Ahhh! Make them stop!!

Please, <mister/missy> I'll pay good money to get those voices out of my head!

Completion

Woohooo!!

You've silenced the voices! Thank you, thank you!

Category: Ashenvale.

What you need

Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

No item reward.

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.

Observed, what players here were paid: 1,815 experience (median of 1 run), 13s (median of 1 run).

The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.

  • Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 1,650 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 1 run by 1 player – 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 1) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) not yet

Timings

Observed, not a fact about the game: 1 completed run behind the medians, 1 recorded attempt in total.
29 min 30 s median time (accept → turn in) from 1 run

Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.

29 min 30 s fastest recorded run slowest 29 min 30 s

1 / 1 turned in / attempted nobody abandoned it

Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.

0.0 deaths per attempt 0 deaths in total

24 tracked kills, typically 1,815 XP, done around level 24.

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 (Ashenvale), 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.
