After giving the remains of the plainstriders to Grull and receiving my reward, he goes on to explain that if like to help the tribe, and be rewarded for my work, he has a task for me. The camp is short on Mountain Cougar pelts. The pelts are used as material for various works which are important to the camp, such as tents and clothing. We have to track down the cougars and collect their valuable pelts! The Hunt Continues
A Humble Task
Before leaving the camp I also spoke with Chief Hawkwind, apparently his mother has left camp to collect water at the nearby well. She has been awhile and would like me to check up on her.
I found the cougars & slain them. A few dropped lower defense rating clothing, such as better boots and material goods to sell to a vendor. Also on my way back to camp I spotted Great Mother Hawkwind. She explains that it taken awhile for return because she is tired today. She asked that I return the water from her to the Chief, I accept the water.
The material reward for The Hunt Continues were bracers, "Nomadic Bracers". Nomadic Bracers are a soul bound item that fits to the arms of my character. The bracers boasted an armor rating 15. On the killing the last cougar I reached Level 3! Awww yeah!
For completing A Humble Task by turning in the water for the Chief and Earthmother I net 40 copper pieces, and 16 for finding the Chiefs mother!
Rites of the Earth Mother
According to the Chief, there are rights of passage for us Tauren, he believes I can become stronger by following through with these rites. Before I can do a rite, I must first speak with the Seer outside of the camp.
Break the Sharptusk!
Before leaving camp, I open dialog with Grull again who seems to have the quest icon. A rival tribe Bristleback has a tradition of training boars in the area to be hostile. These boars need to be rid of. After I kill the enemies boars I am to collect their snouts and meat remains to make stew for our tribes young.
The Battleboars
I was trying to find the Seer in the hills south of camp, but I seem to have stumbled onto the boars first. The interesting thing here is that some of the boars totted a suffix battleboar warriors , these boars were a level rating higher then the regular battle boars. They are slightly more powerful and a different mob because of this. Their remains count for the quest though, and killing the Bristleback Battle boars nets a little bit more xp. Fighting a higher level mob requires more use of Heroic Strike and Battle Stomp, as apposed to just clicking regular attack. When not activating these other attacks, regular attack continues until I discontinue it, these attacks are worked out in rounds. I regular attack every round unless I have enough rage and activate Heroic Strike, or my timer has reset to activate another Battle Stomp.
As I killed the last Battleboar I reached Level 4! I collect the meat and snouts, on my way back to camp I did spot a Totem, I find Seer Grayfang in the area. He explains I must bleed the the numbers of the enemy Bristleback Tribe to pass my 'Rite of Strenght': the first of the rites. For speaking with the seer I gain 250 xp.
I return t camp to sell the items I picked off of the mobs and speak with the Chief and his son Grull. Grull awards me with a 'Nomadic Vest', a soul bound item with an armor rating of 35! This is fine since currently i have armor on my person. I also gain 450 xp for quest completion of The Battleboars.
Rite of Strenght & Brake Sharptusks!
At the camp I meet an N.P.C by the name Brave Windfeather. She explains that she believes I can bring back to our camp the head of the Bristleback chief! This would be a strong victory for our tribe. Brake Sharptusks! quest accepted!
As I enter the enemy camp, i find the enemy disorganized, so it is easy to pick them off one at a time collecting their belts. Circling the camp i came across a magic user, presumably a shaman... I found it was interesting the way my maul went through his head as he tried to launch a spell that never came to effect! I realised in this fight that my skill with the warhammer goes up the more I use the warhammer, slightly. This is come customization now!
Entering Chief Sharptooth Thornmantle's tent, I end up fighting 2 powerful mobs at once, the chief and a warrior aid. Using the War Stomp and Heroic Strike attacks I just manage to bring them both down! First the warrior, then the chief. I collect the head and were good to jet!
On leaving the Bristleback Camp, I slay the last tribesmen needed to complete my Rite of Strenght. On the last mob it seems I lucked out and looted something very special. A pouch, this pouch sites beside my inventory bag and allows me to store items, which frees up my main inventory.
On my way to camp I had been working on this blog and responding to an im, it seems that I was not yet out of Bristleback terriotry, and while AFK (away from keyboard) I had been attacked and killed. I was offered a few ressurect options, starting back at camp with my spirit was the best option, with no xp loss. I have to retrieve my body a little ways away in Bristleback territory now... The other option were to ressurect on spot and recieve an xp penatly, or wait 6minutes to ressurect.
On return ot camp I am rewarded for the Brake Sharptusks quest, giving me 675 xp,and I choose these 'Painted Chain Leggings', bound, with an armor rating of 58! Not only this But I just reached Level 5!
On turning in Bristlebacks belts to Chief Hawkwind I've given the choice of a wepaon as a material reward for Rite of Strenght. I choose the stone tomahawk. The other option for my class was a one handed stone mace. I a'lso gained 450 xp.
The Cheif also explains there are more rites of passage....
But it's time to log!
