At level 55, this got me 5450 XP and no reputation adjustment.

First off, I tried to do this quest unsuccessfully three times before completing it successfully, and each time I only had to use the flute once.&nbsp After using the flute, you'll see some wandering spirits appear and Arei pops up a little ways away near an archway.&nbsp He's really big, you can't miss him.

First thing he does after you start the quest is go all over irontree woods agroing everything.&nbsp I was able to complete this part because the most he agroed at one time was three.

The biggest hurdle is as he's walking down the path just south of Jaedenhar.&nbsp You'll get jumped by 5-6 of those satyr demon thingies.&nbsp It will include one Hellcaster who will AOE you to death.&nbsp This will take at least two people to deal with those mobs.&nbsp I died three times there.&nbsp

The last time, I had enough folks helping me to handle them, but as soon as they popped, they agroed ME instead of Arei, and he just kept on lumbering down the path.&nbsp So I ignored them.&nbsp they chased for a while then turned around.&nbsp Turns out the hardest part of the quest turned into a moot point.&nbsp

At the border with Ashenvale, you'll get two jadefire demons that spawn, those can be taken out without any problem with one person.

good luck!
