Slay Elder Stormhoof.
Objective by objective
- Kill or interact with Elder Stormhoof NPC #45410
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
Elder Stormhoof is a shaman chief of immense power. He was taught by Magatha Grimtotem, the Elder Crone, leader of the Grimtotem clan.
We know that he is here and that he has been training their geomancers. We have to kill him, <class>.
Progress
We must kill Elder Stormhoof before we deal with the rest of the Grimtotem chiefs.
Completion
That was not pleasant. I wonder what he meant by calling you, "the Chosen"?
Category: Thousand Needles.

By character level

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 6,000 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
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 9 min 56 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
1 tracked kill, typically 6,600 XP, done around level 42.
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 (Thousand Needles), 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.
- hotspot centroid (numbered by weight)
- where players were
- pick up
- turn in
- where players die – not published yet
Where they happened is shown once at least 5 characters from at least two different people have done this quest (now 1 from 1): unlike the route, a death spot is about the player, not the quest.
- Pick up
- 0.440, 0.440 median of 1 recorded accept on Thousand Needles
- Turn in
- 0.390, 0.410 median of 1 recorded turn-in on Thousand Needles
- Deaths during this quest
- 1 death, in 1 run Only deaths between accepting and finishing this quest count. Where they happened is not published yet – see the map above.
