Description

Well, ah, it's hard to let it go. But you found it, and you have more important things to do with it, of course. Just, please, be sure to mention to Strahad that I wanted a copy.

While you were out, he sent a message for you. He wanted me to tell you that for his acolytes to assist with the summoning, you'll have to acquire three rods of channeling.

He might not know where to find them, but I do! They were last used by the orcs of the Dragonmaw clan in the Wetlands. I'd check their spellcasters!

This quest it's pretty simple. If you enter Wetlands ,from the north, continue the trail south until you reach Angerfang Encampment. The orcs that have the rods are the Dragonmaw Bonewarder, to spot them they carry a staff. They have a minion, a skeleton. This quest it's fairly simple. After this you'll go to Ratchet to get your summon.

Enjoy :)

The rod had a 100% drop rate from the Dragonmaw Bonewarders (around 49,45 in Wetlands). Very easy to get.

The 3 Rods of Channeling can be found on Dragonmaw Bonewarders and&nbsp Dragonmaw Shadowwarders.&nbsp These can be found at 49, 45 in Wetlands, which is south of Arathi Highlands.
When you enter Wetlands, from the north, continue the trail south until you reach the crossroads.&nbsp To the right there will be a graveyard, go through the grave yard and over the hill.&nbsp Just the other side of the hill there will be 3 Dragonmaw Bonewarders and 1 Dragonmaw Shadowwarder in a camp.

  • Being alliance ive known the location of these guys ever since that stupid flag quest in the wetlands, but for those of you that are horde its simple to get to the wetlands if you dont know how...go to arathi highlands and go south to the next area....you are now in the wetlands...
  • now to get to the mage guys follow the road as far south as it goes.&nbsp the road will split at the end... but instead of going either way when it splits go south until you get to the graveyard...the place u need to go is right behind it. walk around that area you will find the way in.
Hope this clears things up

1.&nbsp This quest is ridiculously easy to do at 30.&nbsp Voidwalker or succubus makes it even easier.

2.&nbsp The drop rate is very good.

3.&nbsp The rods only (I repeat, ONLY) drop off the Bonewarders.&nbsp NOT the raiders or the swampwalkers.&nbsp If you've been killing those and complain that the drop rate sucks, guess what?&nbsp You're killing the wrong damn mobs.

4.&nbsp Wetlands is a pain to get to for the Horde, but&nbsp not impossible.&nbsp It's just a really long walk.

Can't count how many times I got ganked by alliance doing this but I did it. Mainly while traveling to get there. Once you get there, travel up the mountains from the east at the southern point, there's a nice little cove where you can hide and pull the mobs too. I only got ganked once in the proccess of killing the mobs.

I never saw a "bonewarder" but.. there is a camp, up behind the mountain, in between two "hills" of sorts.. and the Dragonmaw Shadowarder's dropped the Rod's of Channeling for me.

I couldn't get singles from the "main" camp, only 2 at a time, so I chose to be safe with the 3-4 that spawn on the hills surrounding the main tent.. That is all you need for the quest,..

Only had one alliance mess with me, a 32 mage gnome -- Who I thought was a mob, and killed thinking such -- To my surprise when I went to loot I discovered it was some "pvp" action.

Btw,.. did this solo at level 30 --

Lots of running around, and learning "where places are" -- If you are new to the game or haven't explored these areas.

The time it takes to find all the spots, is well spent, as it broadens your "horizons" a bit, and gives you more places to hunt at your level --

As for the pet, I'm about to turn in to the final guy now -- Although I don't believe I'll be using my Felhunter much.. Succubus has always been the pet of choice.

I wish you all good luck in this venture.

Okay, as far as this quest goes, rather easy, got my 3 rods off the first 3 bonewarders I killed.

As far as the rest of the post, lets have bliz take a look at an outline of just all the traveling involved with getting a felhunter on ally.

Part 1:
Start in Stormwind, go to Ratchet. That involves flying to Booty Bay, and flying to Stormwind on the way back. Not too bad there.

Part 2:
Start in Stormwind, tram to Ironforge. Not much here either.

Part 3:
Start in Ironforge, must go to southshore, Hillsbrad and to Thousand Needles. Alright, fly to southshore, get item, fly back to Ironforge, tram to Stormwind, fly to Booty Bay, boat to Ratchet, WALK to Thousand Needles, get item, WALK back to Ratchet, boat to Booty Bay, fly to Stormwind, tram for Ironforge.

Part 4:
Start in Ironforge, must get items in wetlands, take them to Ratchet. Fly to wetlands, do your thing, fly back to Ironforge, tram to Stormwind, fly to Booty Bay, boat to Ratchet.

Part 5:
No traveling here, thank God. Just summon the felhunter, pwn it, finally end this God forsaken quest.

Seperately you may think well thats not so bad, but all the traveling put together, added with the killing mobs, added with pvp problems makes this together take at least an hour to accomplish. Rediculous.

I solo'd it with My Succy.&nbsp

If you look on your map you can see Angerfang Encampment west of Wetlands.&nbsp There are 2 huts on the map.&nbsp I entered right, near the graveyard and kept to the right side.&nbsp I killed about 8 raiders before I reached the middle (between the 2 huts on big map).&nbsp From there you have lots of Bonewardens with their bony friends.

From advice above I set succy on the warden, killed bony myself then helped my little pet.&nbsp I only needed to kill 4 Wardens to get the rods.

I am now in Dustwallow marsh trying to get to Ratchett (again)

Good luck everyone!

Just did this quest, on lvl 30, horde side...
Didn't have any problems, solo'd it with my VW...
Walked from Tarren Mill, to the wetlands. Made a quick stop in Hammerfall for my flight path :)

As for the drop rate of the channeling wands, I killed 5 bonewarders, and got the 3 items..

Took a previous posters advice and went in behind graveyard. Go up the hill and there they are. 49,43 are the coords. I killed 4 Bonewarders and their minions and 2 dual wielders. There were no adds, i pulled them by corrupting their minion, and then once close, I attacked bonewarder with VW to hold aggro while i downed the skellie. Sat down to drink once. 6 kills and done. Very easy. The mobs are L28, c'mon, if a 30 lock can't take down these, you need to reroll another class.

Peace!

The whole quest is a bit of a run around compared to the other minion ones but not that difficult. i did it as soon as i made 30, all you need is a bit of patience and your VW and ull be fine soloing it

Just completed this, and it actually wasn't too bad at all. I just had to wait for respawns alot ><.

The easist way I found to do it was to go into the area and find a spot that nothing spawns too close at. Make it your little camp, and start clearing everything around it one at a time, because chances are things might respawn as the type for need to kill for the rods.
As far as fighting goes - the dual wielders are ALOT worse than the one's with the skeletons (Just stick Void on the orc, beat up the skeleton, and then move to help your minion :D). The dual wielders hit really fast and like to mess up your spells, but it's not too bad. Drop rate was maybe 1/3 - I wasn't keeping count. Oh, and if you want to speed up the process greatly, bring along some Mana recovery drink, because some of these guys take alot of Shadowbolts to put down.

All in all, this is fairly easy. (Solo-able at 30) Enjoy felhunter!

I went to 50,50 in Wetlands, despite having some troubles getting there on the way due to Alliance encounters. I killed 3 Bonewarders and got 3 rods. Drop rates seem very reasonable.

Was very easy, took me about 10 kills though, so not 100% drop like some have said, but regardless was extremely easy as a lvl 30 lock.

I got the three needed off of the first three Bonewarders, too. I'm thinking that if you have the quest, it's a very high drop rate. The 6% listed rate isn't really a good indicator of the actual drop rate, it seems.

When you see the Graveyard from the road in the Wetlands (right by the bride north to the Arathi Higlands at 49.39), run through the Graveyard, up over the hill. Right on the other side of the hill are several of the Bonewarders ... you don't have to fight through a bunch of the rest of the mobs to get them.

You're an idiot and not paying attention and the dang felhunter kills you?
I headed back to get more rods, but I pretty much cleaned out the camp and got no drops at all. And, going back to Jorah Annison doesn't help.

GAH!

When going to turn in your rods, you may want to bring a few friends, as after this, you're on the 'kill summon, recieve summon' part of this quest line. You have to do this part in Ratchet, even if you are Alliance, which makes you easy pickings on a pvp server. The first time I tried it, I was CC'ed for a good long while by a skull-level rogue. Second time was at 10am EST and I snuck in through Theramore rather than going on the boat from Booty Bay, so I met with considerably less resistance, heh.
