Thaelrid is southwest of the turle pond:

(D'oh..wish I'd known that before I travelled all the way to the end and mistakenly teleported out)

Confirmed it is possible for a patient orc to get the quest in Darnassus.

It's possible to get to the quest givers for this and Twilight Falls at level 25 if you're patient and willing to die a few times.&nbsp I recommend swimming to Teldrassil along the path of the boat.&nbsp When you get exhausted and die you can ride the boat back to your corpse and start swimming fresh from there.&nbsp Even if you sprint through Rutharen Village the guards will catch you once or twice and you'll have to ride the boat back as a ghost again.&nbsp Once you're in Darnassus jump in the water and swim underwater to the craftsman's terrace.&nbsp Try to die the next time next to the alchemy shop.&nbsp When you rez at the Argent Dawn folks you should be able to talk to them and hearthstone out without any more hassling from the guards.

Note that I wasn't able to get the Twilight Falls quest at level 32 with 4.067 Argent Dawn faction.&nbsp In a way I was relieved that I wouldn't have to come back to turn it in.&nbsp I was able to get Search for Thaelrid but only got 950 exp and no reputation.&nbsp There's a bit of confusion where Thaelrid tries and fails to give you the alliance version of Blackfathom Villainy when you finish Search for Thaelrid but you can talk to him again and get the horde version.

There are two quests available in Darnassus at the Craftsmans area. This one and Twilight Falls. The location of the two NPCs is 55.24&nbsp They are on the second floor of the Alchemy tree.

There's a detailed guide to doing this quest at gedsguides.com: http://wow.gedsguides.com/quests/674

I think it's true that you skip first quest cuz we went over to Thaelrid yesterday and he had a quest it was a wand and sometin else.

I am lvl 23 warlock and I was able to corpse hop my way to Darnassus and get the quest from Dawnwatcher Shaedlass at 54,24...the upper floor of the Alchemist place. It took me 1.5 hours to get here...it wasn't hard....just time consuming.

Where the giant turtles are swim under water thru a cave and he is there, Be careful thier is another cave fulll of death.

This quest gives 1000 Argent Dawn reputation, not 350 as listed.

My understanding is you skip the first part of the quest and get the second part directly from the gun in the instance.&nbsp See http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?wquest=1200 

Hope this helps.&nbsp I haven't confirmed since I'm alliance but thought I'd pass on the info I saw.

This quest is also found in Astranaar. I had a 28 drud and didn't get it from the 2 places your talking about. I think it's nere Raeine with the chain of Raeine's Cleansing quests.

a shame that you get so much xp from this.&nbsp i want it for my twink but can't afford that.

where is the guy to complete this quest Thaelrid?

- neither Shaedless gives the quest to find him, nor Agent Thaelrid got any quests for me. All I get out of him is "help arrives at last..."

where can we found dawnwatcher shaedlass?

start npc should be Dawnwatcher Shaedlass
I am a mage

Location of quest giver
55
23

While raiding Darnassus as Horde I picked this quest up and did it =D

Increased my rep with argent dawn slightly

IF there a quest you need to do before this. i click on the guy and nothing. I clicked on the other guy close and got a different quest did it and went back to both and still can't click on him. Can anyone help me with this?

Once you get to the large pool with Ghamoo-ra in the middle
(NPC #4887) should be in a dead end in one of the tunnels to the east.

start npc should be Dawnwatcher Shaedlass
I am a mage

Small underwater cave just SW from wall on Ghamoo-ra isle.

I found him, he is inside the instance back in a crevice dead end spot where you would not likely go, he is laying on the ground sleeping.

Melocz - Bleeding Hollow / Alliance

Horde can get this quest, but it requires a trip to Darnassus, so be prepared to die several times to the guards. However, doing this quest earns you 150 Argent Dawn rep + 2400 XP.
