What to do
Nalpak wants 10 Deviate Hides.
Objective by objective
- Collect Deviate Hide item #6443
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
As Naralex descended deeper into his nightmare, a strange breed of beasts arose from beneath the Barrens into the Wailing Caverns.
These deviate creatures have strange, otherworldly properties. Their very existence causes great pain to the earth. I believe that slaying them will greatly aid our work in healing the caverns.
If you feel up to the task, slay as many as you can and bring me their hides as proof of their demise.
Progress
How many of the beasts have you slain?
Completion
Your efforts shall not go unnoticed, <name>.
Thank you for your dedication.

What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
No item reward.

- 40s
- and 6s more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
- Experience
- 1,000

at level 23 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 15–23 1,000 100% 24 800 80% 25 600 60% 26 400 40% 27 200 20% 28–89 100 10% 90 none 6s 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 1,000 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

Where it starts and ends
- pick up
- turn in
These two markers are the quest giver's and the hand-in's own positions – not where anybody was standing. The recorded positions are further down, under the community data.
Relevant locations
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 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 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 1) not yet
Timings
Based on 2 completed runs. Published by the analyser – low confidence.

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 (Wailing Caverns), 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.
