I just jumped down without any buffs or backups, just ran on the plank, jumped off, half way down a "Objective completed" appeared on the screen and i was teleported back to the questgiver

I think the quest is obviously based on faith - meaning no backup plan on buffs and rez ect - just jump with no plans to cheat the system and your teleported back to him before you hit the ground.&nbsp Make sure you jump off the plank tho :P

if you jump off the wrong side you will die... i learned the hard way lol

Awesome quest... jump off a cliff, get 1k XP.
Don't worry, you won't die... probably.

Wow. This quest is totally worth doing for any class at any level, just for the buff. The quest itself takes like 5 seconds to do.

The buff is 40% Increased Movement Speed and 30% Increased Weapon Speed and lasts for 1 hour. Unfortunately, it doesn't stack with Ghost Wolf on my Shaman, but that would have been crazy. It does, however, stack with Flurry, so for the next hour I was absolutely raping mobs nearby in the Shimmering Flats on my level 30.

I really with there was a way to get this buff again..

Just as it says, Dorn will teleport you to a cliff in 1k Needles. There are stones on the ground that form a circle around you and a stone path that tells you which way to go.....then you jump off the cliff. I'd say I was only about 1/4 or 1/3 of the way down and I got the quest completed message. Being a 29 Mage and not knowing if I'd survive the fall or not, I cast Slow Fall and landed with a smile.

After what I hear people dying in this quest, I find that those (Myself included) who run at full speed, while still having this awesome buff (Speed of Wind, or something) succeed in this quest. The horizontal distance achieved is probably what determines succes or failure.

Eh just in case it's still unclear to anyone --

Just jump off the plank.&nbsp You don't need to do ANYTHING else.&nbsp You'll get objective completed, then teleported back, before you hit the bottom.

I jumped and abandon the quest in the air and when i hitted the ground i died =)

Do NOT use parachute cloak.. You will fall to death if you use it to early.. and you will have to walk back if you dont die. Though in opposite to vexis58 I completed it since I didnt use it at start

if at first you dont know what to do and you die, abandon the quest, then talk to him again. Otherwise you wwont have access to the plank.

mates, i read that some died after jumping. read the log more carefully. you have to jump OF THE PLANKS. if you just jump of somewhere you`ll die )

Quote by Lowfyr:

The chain quest 'Test of Lore' will later on give you a multiple-choice question as a quest. If you select the wrong answer, you will be given a buff "Shame of the Horde". This buff will let you attack your Faction! If you kill civillians you will not be given DKs or reputation loss. The good part about this is that you can interrupt NPCs that your friends want to communicate to. If you die, you do lose the buff and have to answer the question wrong again (you can try to asnwer this as many times as you want). The wrong answers are the first 2, third one is the correct answer. If you accidentally answer it correct, dont worry! you still can attempt the wrong one.

Quest starts at Thousand Needles

I have tried this on my server, I aggroed all the Auctioneers and told my guild to keep me healed. After 30 minutes, reapply with a mage at my side to lead me with portals. After a while of this non-stop, a GM msged me and told me 'not' to do it, but he did not force any actions upon me. This is 100% leagle to do and the most you could get is a warning.

lolz easy JUMP OFF THE DAM PLANK :)

Im lvl 32 warrior and i just ran off didnt jump or nothing and i completed

I failed this quest the first time with buffs bc i didnt see the plank... so i jumped and died and reincarnated... dropped quest/picked it back up and tried again. This time 1/2 a second after jumping off plank objective complete and tp'd back to the guy. Easy EXP

omg didnt jump off the plank ahhhhh lol i just read jump off and jumped...typical me..

^^

The buff it gives u helps alot when u move onto the others (if ur quick) so don't die with it!!!

Haha, I must say...blizzard is brilliant for dooing a quest like this ^_^

Forget about buffs or whatever cheats :) Just press the key for run toggle and then the jump button when on the end of planks. You'll jump and ... won't die, getting teleport back. Easy XP. Just make sure you are not lagging while you jump :)))

ive been trying this qwest forever and it still dosnt work! where exactly is "the plank" is it the thing by the elevator? if so then how come it teleports u to a spot on the edge of the cliff? and wat is up with the whole speed of wind thing?

why is this happening to me!

does it mean the elavator planks? because ive jumped off both of those and met a horrible end at the bottom both times

Gr8 q! Sprint yelling :"I Belive!" D didnt die of coz

Lawl, easy.
Just jump down, you can't die, you get ported back to the guy who gave it to you.

ya well thats all good and dandy but he placed me on the cliff.. i took a dive and died so i conclude this quest really ***** ! He hates me i guess =[

1050 XP @ lvl 30

Notice in the Objective it says to "leap from the planks" overlooking thousand needles. Do not, I repeat, do not leap until you do a quick look around for the planks and leap from them. Do not buff up or anything because you are not showing "faith." If you do it right as soon as you jump you will see "objective completed" but you will continue to fall. Just before you hit the ground you will be transported to the quest giver and rewarded with a ton of XPS for an 8 second quest.

really cool quest

I dont get this, should you just run off the cliff by the great lift? =)

lol, I think I cheated this quest I used slow fall and it still said complete :P

Was backtracking quests to do for SM, picked this up @ L39, got 110xp. A fun and quick quest!

Just do it. You don't die, you are teleported back to cave just before you hit the ground. This is what i call free xp. :D

Ok... so I turned in the quest right away like an idiot.... then I looked at the buff you get 1 hour buff with 40% movement speed and 30% attack speed increase... If I had it to do over I would abandon the quest, forget the reward and just use it as a great leveling buff.

Kicking myself now... guess if I make an alt I'll know better next time. Unless there is something I don't see that makes this not work.

I wonder what would happen if you used slow fall? or hearthed? or maybe blinked down? very interesting...

Just as it says, Dorn will teleport you to a cliff in 1k Needles. There are stones on the ground that form a circle around you and a stone path that tells you which way to go.....then you jump off the cliff. I'd say I was only about 1/4 or 1/3 of the way down and I got the quest completed message. Being a 29 Mage and not knowing if I'd survive the fall or not, I cast Slow Fall and landed with a smile.
