Pre-Quest:

Well of Corruption
https://classicdb.ch/?quest=4505

Then you get corrupted cat(Moonwell is on 31:66), bring it to Winna(34:52). Then you get there talk with cat.

Very easy quest as a rogue, only problem I had was getting ganked by a mage on the way to hand it in...

So you know, if you die while you have the corrupted saber, you will have to abandon the quest an re-get it. So just be careful. Cat does not despawn when mounted so either that got patched... or y'all have some bad luck.

(Coords for pool are, 32.66)

lol to easy of a quest... i stood there for 5 seconds for instant Xp. wanna know how? some1 came up to her with a cat and i just talked to it and the quest was complete LOL. fun fun fun

Bring the cat back and then right click on the cat. Choose "release cat" or something like that and then talk to the npc.

I just completed this quest on 2/27/07.

I had read the posts and thought I was supposed to right-click the cat's portrait when I was suppose to release him to Winna. However, when we arrived, I hoovered over the cat and a chat bubble appeared. When i clicked him, he gave the prompt to be released and that was that. Much simpler than previous posts made it sound.

Don't know if this was recently changed. Just thought someone should know.

7900 xp as of 2.3

I was just following 2 guys with their 2 corrupted battle-cats on my path to complete previous quest.
Take quest
Talk to one of those battle-cats
Complete quest
LOL
5450exp in 2seconds

i released the cat, size changed, became corrupted as it says in the quest log and hit the road, brought the cat back but quest does not look completed.

I did everything fine, got back with the cat and clicked it to "release" it -- but then the cat just reverted to a kitten and the questgiver acts as if I havent done the quest. Obnoxious.

So annoying, I got the cat back right clicked it, released it to winna. But winna still acts like I haven't done her quest. She says get back there! What's up with this quest?

Just checked if i can use him as pet. Cant. He died after 10-20 min.

this is th dumbest thing ever i do the entire quest get back to quest giver and no gold mark to appear. so i check thottbot for 10 secs to see why figure it out and then my corrupted cat is gone. i was thier less than 20 secs before he disappeared better turn it in fast !

And btw... If YOU happen to die, the cat disappears and you can't summon it back. You need to abandon the quest and re-take it.

For those of you who hate escort quests, this one is a little different. When you release the kitten at the corrupted well, it turns into a saber kitten level 5. The great thing about this escort quest as opposed to others is that the Saber Cat doesn't lead you, it follows you very closely and it doesn't get involved in fights. That said, all that was involved in getting back through the camp was pretty much what was involved in getting to the well in the first place. Methodically kill the satyrs in your path or that might interfere with your progress. As a level 54 Warlock, I used my Voidwalker to take all the agro and in the couple of instances when I either drew agro myself or got an add, the kitten was passive and the satyrs did not bother it, which allowed me to go at my own pace, fight, use pots or eat when I needed and not have to worry about the cat. It moved or stopped when I moved or stopped. Far easier than your typical escort quest. Just remember to release the cat to the quest giver when you get back to camp.

Unless you gonna go in adn kill everything each way waiting and doing it at a higher level works pretty good. I forgot about this whole area and went back at 58 ran in did quest, ran out, in, out. and still got like almost 5k exp for this part of quest. Also...does anything come after this? I want one of those things as a guardian!

This quest is horrid solo as it's almost impossible to lead the cat out alive even if you clear the whole area first as it only takes one respawn to one shot kill it.

I had read that the best way to do this (solo) is to clear a spot in the back, release the cat, then hop on your mount and purposely train as many mobs on to you as possible while leaving the area. The theory being that the cat would follow you and all the mobs in your path would already be hitting you leaving your cat alone. I tried this about 10 times last night and every time sooner or later the cat would attempt to defend me and since I wasn't fighting back, draw aggro, and die instantly.

I chose a much longer and more tedious method: I cleared the back spot, released the cat, then hopped off of the side of the mountain into Darkshore. I avoided all the mobs and fled the Alliance controlled zone ASAP then slowly rode through Ashenvale and back to Winna carefully steering clear of any mobs.

Another note: When you get back you must talk to the cat to release it before talking to Winna and claiming your reward.

I soloed this as a 49 Rogue.

Stealth into the camp. Release the cat at the moonwell. Re-enter stealth. Stealth out.

The cat by itself doesn't draw any aggro and walks past everything unharmed. If you are stealthed and draw no aggro you get out unmolested.

5450xp at lvl 51. Not hard at all going solo <i>if you actually fight!</i>

lol

Easy piecy!

Spawn the cat, mount and get the hell out of there =)

took me 2 min...

This quest was easy easy for me. I just mounted and ran, the mobs didn't bother me too much.

Delogar, 52 Undead Shadow Priest on Shattered Hand.

Got knocked off my mount while running out, but managed to get away fine. Went 'cheetah' and just kept going. The cat wasn't distracted by the other mobs despite any damage I took. It was fun seeing the two cats run together from a bunch of satyrs. :p

Just done this quest first time with my lvl 53 UnDead Rouge, easy if you use your mount to get out.

_________________

I got the cat back successfully, but not knowing that I had to talk to the cat, I looked up on here what I was supposed to do, and by the time I got back to WoW screen, the cat had despawned, so I had to drop the quest and now I'm going to do it again.

Moral of the story: The cat will despawn if you don't do the quest quick enough.

Had a hunter just went with a Silver Tabby Broken Tooth and was mounted ran in. FD easy (lvl 55) none of them resisted. Then I go and get the corrupted saber. Awesome to see 3 cats. Ran out but Broken Tooth died turned in quest after like 1 minute since the cat wasn't able to be talked to for a sec.

Is the Corrupted Saber tameable? I know it's low level, just curious though,

corde plz

I mounted in, dazed, died. Revived, healed, ran some more. Died. Let the kitty out and mounted, ran back, died. When you die with the kitty out you need to go back to the pool and redo it from the start. So it's not as easy as everyone's saying unless you are a rogue.

Easy wirt warlock lvl 54..

ran in there when i die, i use my solestone, and ran out again..

mounting out is a very bad idea. If you get hit with slow posion, you WILL die.

If you're having a run of bad luck, this quest can be amazingly difficult.
If you live in the middle of nowhere like me, and still have dialup (as satellite is not available), then your first problem lies with disconnections, disconnect in a bad spot, you die, cat dies. After about 3 attempts i finally got the cat out, and a level 60 mage decided to poly me halfway up the road and finish me off, time to start again...morale of the story, this quest is totally bent, 5 attempts and still trying.
Although for those rogues out there (like me) if you have a good connection, it's stupidly easy :)
and for the record, don't be tempted by the thorium vein beside the demon camp, you'll get a ton of satyr's on you followed by a disconnection!

Completed on 6/23/08 without any glitches--the saber followed me on my mount all the way back to the post with no problem. Quest easily soloed (using caution) as a 54 frost mage. Appreciate the comments about talking to the cat first and *then* talking to the quest giver upon returning.
