Shimmerweed (6)

Description

I'm on a quest, a quest to make the perfect stout. I know I can do it -- brewing's in my blood. I just need to find the right recipe...

The Frostmane trolls grow a plant, shimmerweed, high up in the hills to the east. They use it in their strange, tribal rituals. We dwarves haven't found much use for it, but it has a unique taste...and I want to experiment with it in my brews!

Get me some shimmerweed from Frostmane seers, or swipe it from the trolls' shimmerweed baskets.

This quest is now a Quest card in the Trading Card game and includes the quote: "I'm on a quest, a quest to make the perfect stout. I know I can do it -- brewing's in my blood."

Just a fun fact. :)

I think this one is too hard for a hunter on his own. When you shoot the first target you get chased by two or three Frostmane Trolls who shoot at you with magic and try to chop you up. The path approaching the camp is narrow, so there is no room to move about for a hunter, nor an opportunity to attack from a different angle.

I spent hours looking for these trolls (I even explored in the far east of Dun Murogh, for the stupid sap I am. It says "high up in the hills to the east" after all :-P). Then the tips here brought me closer, but still no luck. It turns out the path leading up to the troll camp is directly to the left (=north) of the cave entrance where the bears prowl around. Watch for the torches sticking in the ground. The bear cave is, as mentioned, to the east of the Iceflow lake.

There are actually two camps. The first can be found by following the path straight up. The second is nearby. Take a left turn somewhere at the top of the path and cross the suspension bridge. Turn right to find the camp. To the left is another path leading down. Watch out for those trolls! :-)

Shimmerweed can be pickpocketed from seers as well as being dropped by them.

You find the camp going from the Iceflow lake up, you pass the cave with the bears and then you turn right. As said, some weed get droped by seers, others you find in baskets.
the Seers are 8 and 9 lvl

The path that leads up to the tribe of Seers is at 37,42, directly east of the lake beside a small cave.
Hope this helps

Fun fact.
In Warcraft 3, Drek'thar (Horde general in AV) asks Rexxar to gather Shimmerweed so he can create a potion :)

This is a tough quest. Took some retreating as a lvl 7 pally. It is very easy to get three or four mobs on you at once.

Soloed this with a 9th level dwarf warrior. Just raid the baskets after you kill the seers, but you'll need to pull them without getting three at a time.

I've died 5 times.&nbsp Everytime I start opening a basket I attract the attention of several seers.&nbsp Tried sneaking up on a seer, but when I tried to kill just one, I got ambushed by several.&nbsp Might be easier with something other than a rogue.

The trolls and baskets are in Shimmer Ridge, Northwest of Kharanos. Go up the hill, and you'll find a small camp of trolls, and baskets scattered all over.

I didn't solo this quest until level 14 because it was scarey. I came out alive. *nod* Definitely do this with a group.

my hunter just killed the troll mages at the perimeter of the hill and looted the secluded shimmerweed baskets. the trolls DO drop the shimmerweed, so i didn't have to actually invade the camp. did this solo without pet at level 9

Level 9 at the camp at 41, 44. Stealth in to the opposite side of the camp and pick them off one-by-one. With Pick Pockets and killing, plus two baskets, I finished this off in under 10 minutes.

Of course, without Stealth, you would have a tougher time of it. Work your way around the south end of the camp and do the same process. Don't bother entering the camp by yourself unless you want a trip through Dun Morogh's White-And-Whiter Land.

Easily soloed at level 8 with a priest, I was in the camp at 41, 44. I only pulled two once and they were pretty easy to kill. The rest I just pulled one by one.

Be careful, because they do run away when they have less than 20% life.
