What to do

Deliver the Rescued Whelplings to Acride at Slither Rock in Burning Steppes.

The quest giver's words

While we are circling around Dreadmaul Rock, there's one more stop that we need to make.

You remember the hatchlings that you freed from the Whelping Downs? I've been watching over them, and now we're going to deliver them to someone who will take care of them better than we can. He's staying in Slither Rock, to the northeast of Dreadmaul Rock.

His name is Acride, and he might be the key to victory in the upcoming battle.

Progress

You've arrived, <name>.

Completion

Yes, the whelplings. I will take care of them.

As for the agreement I made with your father earlier, tell him that I will hold up my end of the bargain. You will have your dragon for the battle against the orcs.

We share your grudge against the Blackrock clan.

Category: Burning Steppes.

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.

Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.

How precise this guide is

Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 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 needs one recorded run not yet
  • Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
  • Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

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 (Burning Steppes), 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.
