Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Senani Thunderheart at Silverwind Retreat wants you to collect 15 Furbolg Ears from Foulweald Totemics and Foulweald Ursas.

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

The furbolg are more numerous than we expected in these southern regions. They have also been far more aggressive here than we would like.

With our resources divided between hunting down elves and harvesting much-needed lumber, that leaves you to help me put an end to our furbolg distraction.

I have research to conduct here. In the meantime, I need you to take a more hands-on approach. Bring me the ears of nearby furbolg as proof to Tarkan that the problem is being dealt with.

Progress

Well, <name>.

Is it done?

Completion

Good work, <race>.

This should keep them licking their wounds for a time.

Category: Ashenvale.

What you need

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

The reward

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: 2,200 experience (median of 1 run), 18s (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 2,000 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.

15 tracked kills, typically 2,200 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 (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.
