The first two cages are about 23,58 and are right next to each other. The third cage is the hardest and is at about 31,58. There are several lvl 42-44's in the third camp so plan on adds or bring friends if you're low 40's.

you should start
-troll neclace bounty
-preying on the predator
-favored of elune

this quest.
1st cage- 23,58
2nd cage- 23,58
3rd cage- 31,58

troll neclace bounty
get all the troll neclace in 23,58 where you can open the cages. you will get all you need if you kill most of the trolls in that area

preying on the predator
-mangy wolves can be found on the way to 23,58 coming from aerie peak. if u kill all the wolves in your way to 23,58 you should have the 10 killed by teh time you get there
-the silvermanes can be found by the 3rd cage, a little to the north of it.

favored of elune
-can be started in ruth theran village in tendrasil (i dont care about spelling)
-all you have to do is pick up those feathers that are scattered inthe hinterlands
-this is not hard at all.
if you pick up all you see, you should have enough to finish the quest when you finish everything

this said, i solod this as a 43 full platewarrior and it was very easy.

On the third cage, if you run around the north wall, there is a small brick sticking out (on the north side), You can stand on it and get the cage without having to kill a single troll.

This is very doable at lvl 42 do not try to go in for third cage by way of the entrance though. go in through the side and pick off the trolls one at a time. I found the cage on the west side in respect to the entrance. 3900 xp as a lvl 42 warrior

On your M ap&nbsp go directly south from the Lo&nbsp in the words Quel'Danil&nbsp Lo dge.&nbsp You will find a path/road entrance to the stone village area (Hiri'watha name will display). The cage is just inside on the right.&nbsp Be prepared to fight a considerable number.&nbsp More difficult than cage 1 and 2.

Zun'watha: first and second cages, together.
Hiri'watha: third cage.

U just have to fight some trolls between lvl 40 and 43. And if you are lucky the zone is clean and u dont even have to fight them (they respawn quite fast though). U can get the third one without even having to fight them if you join stealthed and place yourself behind the cage (in case you are a rogue).

I'm a 43 gnome mage and i was able to sneak in the very back through a crack in the wall and open the cage. I only had to fight one mob the entire time. Go to the NW corner and look for a fissure in the wall...

Great directions for those who cant use map coordinates due to the new patch.&nbsp Soloed as a 42 Dwarf Rogue, sub build, sneak in try to aggro as few as possible kill one before you vanish and try for the cages b4 respawn. Third cage is hardest died 2 times getting that one. Easiest way I can think of is go in pairs and have rogue pull camp away from cages while the other opens cages, run away and vanish, but i dont think that will work for the 3rd cage.&nbsp :) Good luck!

Ok, I found the two cages side by side in the Troll camp Hiri'Watha.
Now I'm looking for the 3rd cage, wich I am now told is not on the map...ok...I'll see if I find it. Some coordinates for that 3rd cage is nice though, since what I have see so far only takes me to the troll camp of Hiri'Watha :)

i did all three cages with minimal effort. i killed the closest two for the first two cages, and snagged the solid chest that was there, and then stealthed over to the third, went behind it, killed the one&nbsp troll i agrro`d, and got the last cage. I mounted and rode back to Aerie Peak, ignoring aggro, and was homefree.

Solo'd ofcourse, lvl 43 Warrior,

The first 2 cages are the easiest
The last one is more difficult but you can sneak past the "guards" )

At both locs - steath in behind the cages. For cages 1 & 2 there's a small ledge/wall of sorts behind the cages you can stand on... for cages 3 get in the corner of the collapsed wall. When you unstealth you will agro at least one at each location. Root and keep rooted. I root - cast dots - and go feral until they are down to about 1/4 hp.. then back to cast roots and spam moon fire until they die.

was already doing troll necklace bounty quest and had cleared the camp trying to get the necklaces when i realized i had a quest to do with the cages. first two cages are at 23,58 3rd one at 31, 58 in a different village which i stealthed into and went as close to the cage as i could, aggro'd 2 guys and when one ran away in fear he aggroed like 6 so i died but when i rezzed no one aggroed and opened the cage up and stealthed back out

This quest is pretty difficult but I was able to solo at level 41 as Pally. Just make sure you stock up on nectar because it's likely that if you aggro one guy, you'll aggro another. They're pretty close together and the respawn rate is pretty fast.
