Quest #26059 Level 28 Stonetalon Mountains Horde only 2 runs – thin

Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Report to Witch Doctor Jin'Zil at Malaka'jin in Stonetalon Mountains.

The quest giver's words

Honor's Stand has been lost. The Horde's grip on the Barrens shattered along with the land itself. I now receive reports that we are at risk of losing Malaka'jin to a concerted attack by the Alliance and the Grimtotem. If Malaka'jin falls, half of Stonetalon falls with it!

You have proven yourself a capable soldier of the Horde. Will you be my eyes and ears at Malaka'jin? Witch Doctor Jin'Zil awaits your arrival.

Malaka'jin is located far to the south.

Completion

I see that Krom'gar has sent his best!

Good, we have much work to do. The filth that is the Alliance have entered into a treaty with the Grimtotem. Now we fend off attacks from both forces.

We are spread thin across the Greatwood Vale and will soon fall beneath the concerted effort of our enemies. There is only one hope: VOODOO!

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: 1,265 experience (median of 2 runs), no money (median of 2 runs).

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

  • Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 1,150 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 2 completed runs. 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 2) 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

Observed, not a fact about the game: 2 completed runs behind the medians, 2 recorded attempts in total.
22 min 22 s median time (accept → turn in) 13 min 2 s – 31 min 41 s for the middle half

Based on 2 completed runs. Published by the analyser – low confidence.

0 tracked kills, typically 1,265 XP, done around level 28.

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 (Stonetalon 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.
