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
We're dangerously close to becoming fenced in by Alliance forces. With the influx of sin'dorei pilgrims from Azeroth, we must establish a route that's safe from our enemies' prying eyes.
I've given it some thought and have arrived at a solution. We're to establish a secret path through the Great Fissure.
Yes, even though the area is crawling with brutal rock flayers, they are merely beasts and can be taught to fear us. I want you to go and kill a good number of them. They shall learn fear.
Progress
You've returned. Is the task done?
Completion
Good job, <name>. That should teach the rock flayers to stay far away from us.
Category: Hellfire Peninsula.
What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
No item reward.
- Money
- none
- and 60s more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
- Experience
- 10,050
-
at level 67 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 60–67 10,050 100% 68 8,050 80% 69 6,050 60% 70 4,000 40% 71 2,000 20% 72–89 1,000 10% 90 none 60s 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 10,050 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 40 min 58 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
16 tracked kills, typically 11,055 XP, done around level 60.
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 (Hellfire Peninsula), 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
- 0.280, 0.600 median of 1 recorded accept on Hellfire Peninsula
- Turn in
- 0.280, 0.600 median of 1 recorded turn-in on Hellfire Peninsula
- 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.
