The Black Shield

Speak with Captain Garran Vimes in Theramore.

Description

Ah, I almost missed this... The leather strap on the back must have burned off, but it seems like it was made to fit a large person. I'd guess a tauren, actually.

That's about all I can tell you. Tell Captain Vimes I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

After you have done Suspicious Hoofprints and The Black Shield, you can find this little item on the plank.&nbsp Here is a pic.

you can pick up all three q�s at the same time... just find the hoof print, the shield and the badge at the same time and turn them in.... nice easy xp and you only need to go and talk to the blacksmith and do the deserters q afterwards.

To continue on this quest, go back to the inn and check on the ground around the inn.&nbsp You'll find some hoofprints, and when you report back to captain vimes, he send someone off to do scout out the footprints...&nbsp that's where I'm at right now.&nbsp not sure if I need to wait on the guy to get back, or run myself over to the Inn again.

im lvl 46 and happen to pass by and the shield highlighted, so i started this quest for the hell of it.

so get the shield, the hoofprint, and the badge laying at the shady rest in. return to the captain, talk to the blacksmith guy, go back to the captain. turn in the hoofprint, they send someone to "scout" that out. turn in the badge, talk to the guy in front of the captain, talk to the captain again, he tells you to go talk to the deserters which are at lost point (35:53) which is a decent ride from theramore. you need to kick Balos Jacken's ass (lvl 38 humanoid). dont worry the other guys dont jump in. HERES the problem, and i just reported it as i was doing this quest. Balos Jacken, after you defeat him, becomes a friendly target with a yellow ? over his head, the talk cursor comes up when your mouse is over him, you click to talk to him and make the gesture as you usually would to talk to anyone, but nothing happens. I just reported this problem and will follow up on it.

The same thing happened to me, I'm getting the yellow question mark but I cannot talk to him. I abandoned the quest and picked it up again so I'm gonna try that... Hopefully it gets fixed

The quest continued for me. Balos Jacken told what happened to Reethe and then the quest sends you back to Vimes again. Vimes then sends one of his men to track Reethe.&nbsp That's the last thing I've done and not sure what is next.

I found Reethe, and he certainly looks like he was setting things on fire recently (burnt tent, holding a burning stick, etc) but he won't talk.&nbsp I tried searching the Inn for more clues and talking to the Captain again, but with no success.

I followed those quests with another character at level 35, and remember they were a perfectly uninterrupted chain. I did not notice anything unusual, thus I dont remember all steps now.

At present I try those same quests again, but with a new character at lvl 30. And, as many other players, Im stuck in successive dead-ends.

That is why Im sure that those quests are level related, some being given at lvl 30 and others not displayed under lvl 35.

After Defeating the Deserters in the Tower, you return to Vimes again, completing the quest for 2850XP.

And then...looks like another dead end !

Maybe you have to search for reethe in the whole of duskwallow ? Or perhaps infiltrate the ogre base ?

I've no ides what (if anything) comes next

Once you have found the prints and the shield, go back to the inn and look for the 3 wooden planks in the top left corner of the inn when comming up the stairs. There you will find a token on one of the planks.

after returning to Vines once you've defeated the Deserter Captain and got him to tell you about Reethe. There is nothing else to do. You don't need to find reethe, as no one will ever ask you to. He's easy to find, esp. since his coords are in thottbot, but the alliance side of this chain ends at the end of the deserters chain. Just a bit of xp for a 1 fight quest chain basically. Something to do if you are going to be walking back and forth anyway.

Looks like this quest item is designed for Horde use, but they let us Alliance people get a miniscule taste of its purpose.

I spoke to Vimes at Theramore Keep 68,48 and he suggested (white talk bubble inside the interaction window, at this stage it is not a quest, just a friendly talk) that I travel to the border of The Barrens and Dustwallow Marsh to look around the burnt remains of Shady Rest Inn.

29,48 - Dustwallow Marsh map is the fireplace in Shady Rest Inn, above which is the shield that gives the first quest.

The quest tells you to go to Theramore Isle and talk to Captain Garran Vimes (68,48 upstairs in the Keep). Vimes will tell you to show the shield to Caz Twosprocket at the Theramore blacksmith shop 64,50. Twosprocket sends you back to Vimes.

2330xp (level 34)

I got the quest for the hoofprints and the shield at the same time, so I don't think they're connected..

I examined the hoofprints, and went back to the captain. He sends out a scout to check it out. GO to Suspicious Hoofprints for the next step.

It just didn't seem right that the quest ended so abruptly, so I peeked at the horde side of the quest and got a few leads...

Go back to the inn and examine some hoofprints on the left side of the stairs near the tree. While you're there, go onto the main floor and look at the wooden planks, you'll find a tiny badge there on the plank that starts Lieutenant Paval Reethe.

I'm still in the middle of the chain, so more info to come.
