Oh Brother. . .

Bring Foreman Thistlenettle's Explorers' League Badge to Wilder Thistlenettle in Stormwind.

	Thistlenettle's Badge

Description

We were deep in a vast mine in Westfall, hidden beneath a barn in Moonbrook. No clue where these stinkin' thieving types came from. Anyway, the mine tunnel collapsed on us. I got out but the others... well... the others haven't been heard from.

You look like you might have better luck in there. If you could look for my brother, I'd be thankful. He always carried his Explorers' League Badge. If you can't find him, that badge would at least give me some peace of mind.

The undead section is outside the instance.&nbsp It is a purple hook and loop kind of off to the side.&nbsp The "entrance" to the purple part is at tloc 42,81.&nbsp

You are looking for a named L20 elite undead in the loop portion of the purple.&nbsp The spawn here is decently fast so unless you are overpowered you will want a group.&nbsp I didn't have time to get more precise info cause I was following a L50 rogue through.&nbsp

Hope that gives someone else a better idea of where he is.

This quest is done outside of Deadmines. There is a lighter colored area on the mini-map. This is where the undead are, the named elite "Foreman Thistlenettle" is the one that drops the badge.

It's at the end of undead part of deadmines.&nbsp Not in the instance.

Oh I found it- it's on the Undead Boss of the "undead sector" of the deadmines. (Looks purple on the map and is near the Van Cleef instance portal.)

if you are a paladin (like myself) using sense undead will show you exactly where they all are. Theres about 15 undead in the small area so make sure you have a group of you. It is outside the instance so make sure you tell your group first before they run off into the portal.

It's in the Deadmines, just not the instance. After you get to the bottom of the entrance, go to the right path until you get to the open area. It'll have a place where you can go down, to the right, or over a bridge to the left. Cross the bridge & go straight to notice the shadowy violet area on the mini map. The rare NPC Brainwashed Noble spawns here as well.

The quest is still a real pain to solo because the mobs gang up on you. Also the Skeletal Miners have a curse called Call of the Grave that hits you out of nowhere for 180 shadow damage after 60 seconds. You could be at 25% health about to kill a mob & BAM dead!

This quest, and the other quest that this NPC gives you (Collecting Memories) are now possible to solo for someone lvl17-20ish since the mobs outside of the Deadmines instance are now all non-elite as of patch 2.3. Managed to solo both of them with my lvl17 mage.

Soloable, but if you take that route go slow. Although the mobs aren't elite anymore, there are still a lot of them and they can gang up and kill you really easily. I waited to do this until lvl 22 so I could solo it rather quickly.

Its not in the VC instance its in the tunnels on your way to the instance entrunce

By Anonymous on 07/06/2006 (Patch 1.11.1)

Ok, we're gonna do this backwards from the instance entrance for you...

Instance entrance
You jumped a railing and headed towards the entrance
You beared right and headed down a tunnel towards the railing

Right there where you beared right -- instead of going that way to the left there should be a recessed area. The undead section is located over that way sort of underneath the regular mining area.

Here is a map to help:

By Anonymous on 07/06/2006 (Patch 1.11.1)

I just finished this quest as well as Collecting Memories ( (Quest #168) ) which I recomend you have in your quest log as well since it requires the same mobs.

Just to clarify on my previous post. When you reach the split I mentioned before where if you turn right (west) you head towards the instance strait ahead of you is a recessed area. Where you want to go is across the bridge on the left -- the undead are strait ahead and to the right after the bridge.

Also note -- the rare mob Marisa du'Paige ( (NPC #599) ) is under the bridge (I don't know if this is the only place she spawns -- but that's where I found her)

18 warr and 21 rouge completed this for a nice 1500 exp. it was difficult to pull the mobs though...be careful and if 3 or more come....run.

The boss you are looking for is outside the instance. As you travel, watch the mini map for a section that looks slightly 'purple' and that will be the area with the undead skeletons and ghouls. You must follow that section to the very end, where the boss who has the medallion will be waiting. If you're not certain where the purple section is, keep any eye out near those 'ditches' and take a bridge past the ditch, it will lead straight there, you could not possibly miss it.

Happy hunting!

This quest is soloable with a Hunter(22). I made is just by killing some mobs, let the pet die, and run out of aggro. And back inn again. Foreman Thistlenettle is abit hard, but just keep mind the pet. You might need to finish the fight your self..

Good luck...
