21,51

you need to head into the cave behind the huts. enter and head to your right until it says&nbsp "Fully Explore Frostmane Hold" complete.

You need to get to 21,52 inside the cave at Frostman Hold. It's the one in the valley not the one up in the mountains.

A kamakaze dash around the cave is the first time it's made sense to this young Paladin to use devine prot. And if you die the trot back will use up 4/5 of the cooldown!

This quest is very annoying to do aggro range = huge, damage from trolls = huge, and they spawn fast. Also the run back is long and annoying

Even though you might not have seen the pop-up that says that the quest is complete that doesnt mean anything. I bet that half of you that had actually gone a full circuit from right all around and came out the left, had actually completed the quest and didn't notice it. All of you should check your quest log and see if you had actually completed it or if there really is a bug, because I have done this quest on 3 different occasions with my warrior, rogue, and mage and have never had a problem

>>I am in the Mannoroth Server<<

How to complete (Quest #287):

1. accept quest /way 46,69, 53,85
2. enter the cave /way 25,21, 50,90
3. kill 5x (NPC #1123)
4. go to /way 23,07, 52,15
5. jump down for fully explore frostmane hold
6. follow the path to the right and exit the cave
7. return quest /way 46,69, 53,85

And add that they respawn very quickly, so running away and living is nearly impossible. All in all, it's pretty annoying.

They where hitting me for about 10-13 instead of the 6-8 from the surrounding animals of equal level, in most cases I came away from killing a single troll with only 10-20% life left...And lets not even talk about aggro range !_!

This is one of those quests that make me think "What if I was someone who had just started playing the game and this was his first ever char" Not exactly the best way to "wow" new customers.

Yeah, I experienced the same thing last night on the Durotan server.&nbsp I thought it was awfully strange when I entered the cave and it changed all my channels to Alterac Mountains and said I had entered Winterax Hold in Alterac Valley.&nbsp Looked up Alterac Mountains on the map to make sure I wasn't crazy.&nbsp Same thing happened when I died.&nbsp I didn't realize there were creatures that had ? for their level.&nbsp Talk about getting owned.

I don't know why its so hard to get exact cords... Here's the real cords

Possibly to make Map? Usualy play`s on Horde and this is my first Gnome. So can anyone make a map to where it is? (I sawe many said "to southwest, to north" and many things liekt hat, but from where?)

is it only one place to go? i thougth it was like 3 difrent places

Unlike other investigates, this one says fully.&nbsp This means you must go all the way in.&nbsp Follow the directions as given to the right. Less Mobs that way.&nbsp You must go all the way to the back where the little plateau is in the middle of the cave.&nbsp You must venture behind the plateua to get the disco complete.&nbsp

i cant find it south of gnomeregan all i find is leper gnomes and big cranks

The prequests for this quest to show up is the following from the Coldridge Valley (Dwarf/Gnome starting area)

1. The Troll Cave
2. The Stolen Journal
3. Senir's Observations
4. Senir's Observations

Some of these quests are missing from wowhead after the cataclysm. I'll fix the formatting so the quests are linkable once classic goes live.

Don't you have to kill 5 headhunters to complete this quest?

I finished this tonight after a few deaths. There is a curved path between the two large rooms. The midway point of that path was the spot where it gave me exploration compleat.

What's the key to getting this quest to register you have 'explored the hold'? I've run all around the dungeon twice now (died both times) and it still doesn't register I've been there. Anyone know?

I'm a lvl 9 hunter and when i try going through the door 2 of them come at me and i die

Just did it today as a Lvl. 8 warlock.

Unless you have other quests to complete out in the area, it might be advantageous to make the Kharanos tavern your 'home', saving you some return travel time when you turn in the quest.

As mentioned below, correct path will be the second left once entering the cave... (immediately after the first left). You will come to a ledge that looks down on a pathway with two mobs below. Initially, I made the mistake of using a ranged attack, thinking one of mobs would just jump the ledge. Unfortunately, it ran the 'long way around' and ended up dragging 5 or 6 mobs with him. After dying, I came back and jumped down with the 2 mobs before attacking them (looking down from the ledge and to your left there should be enough space so you won't immediately aggro the first mob). After killing the 2 mobs, i followed the path (only 1 direction possible at this point) into the large room, hitting up the chest on the way. Right -before- I entered the main room, I received the 'exploration complete' message, and then hearthed back to the tavern in Kharanos.

There's a ledge somewhere near the entrance. A chest usually spawns there, I accidentally fell and killed two trolls below. I backed up to the edge because I was low on health, but as soon as I started running into a very open area, the exploration was done.

As soon as you enter, turn left and off the little ledge.

this quest is so easy

Don't confuse this mission with The Perfect Stout mission which has you gather Shimmerweeds on Shimmerwood Ridge (or something like that). There is only one Head Hunter there, and he spawns only once every five minutes or something.

For this mission of Frostmane Hold, make sure you're in Brewnall Village and then go directly southwest and you will run into the trolls and their cave.

I don't think the exploration part is in effect anymore. Just kill at least 5 Head Hunter type trolls and you should be good to go.

You need to enter the very back of the cave to trigger the 'explore the hold'.

For some reason I have diffuculty taking on more then one Frostmane Headhunter! I dunno why even, I'm a Level 9 Dwarf Warrior, and I can take a decent hit I guess, but they deal out like 9-10 Damage to me. And I've got like over 200 HP so I don't see why I can't finish this quest faster. All I have yet to do is Explore Fully, then I'm done. I'll finish it tonight, its just really annoying dying becuase these few Headhunters practically rape me.... Any tips?

I ran into the same problem. Seems to be a bug - which I hope someone fixes!

This quest rewards 150 Ironforge reputation and 150 Gnomeregan Exiles reputation as of patch 2.01

This requires you to go to the very southern tip of the cave, to the part that looks like a "C" west of the room with the frozen pond in it.

"Ah, <name>! I didn't think you'd have much trouble finding the place, my directions are excellent, you know...

"Let me just finish up my report then."

<He brings out some paper and scribbles on it momentarily.>

"There! Well, haha, now this certainly is funny... I don't suppose, <name>, that you would mind doing one last favor for me?"

Funny thing about this quest - it is difficult to understand where is the place where u actually explore this damn cave
Here is my solution
