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
Are you ready for a real measure of your prowess, <race>?
Merda Stronghoof has made camp at da place dey call Karnum's Glade in the Cenarion Wildlands of Desolace. Fighting a trainer as powerful as her will put your skills to the test, eh?
Progress
You think yourself stronger than the very earth you walk upon?
Completion
The resilience of Desolace cannot compare to your own desire to grow. I applaud your efforts.
What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
-
Sack of Pet Supplies
item #89125 · Common · item level 20 · no sell price
- Money
- 11g 40s
- Experience
- 80
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 11519% more than the 80 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.
- Money: players were paid 93% less than the 11g 40s listed. At the level cap a quest pays money in place of its experience.

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 10 min 52 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 9,295 XP, done around level 56.
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 (Desolace), 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.
