Winterfall Runners

Find the Winterfall Runners and stop them from delivering their shipment to Winterfall Village.
Winterfall Crate

Description

Very interesting, <name>...

When this toxic substance is mixed with the water from the hot springs, it loses its toxicity, only retaining the ability to temporarily affect those that ingest it. This must be why the Winterfall protect the hot springs so fervently -- they need them to purify their firewater.

We need to stop this -- cut off contact between the Winterfall and the Deadwood. A group of runners walks the distance between their village and Felwood. Find and defeat them, and steal their shipment.

The runners wander the road from the entrance to Felwood all the way to the top of the winterfall village. You can also find a runner in the felpaw village in felwood.

The runners in winterfall travel in a pack of 3 (lvl 57), the easiest way to get the crate is from the runner in felwood since you can just pull the one runner. This is their route: https://classicdb.ch/?npc=10916

When you turn in the quest to Donova Snowden 3 ambushers will spawn and aggro you. You can feign death, stealth or turn in the quest while mounted and run away. The ambushers will eventually group up by the lake and you can safely talk to Donova Snowden again to get the next quest, without having to kill any of the ambushers.

When you return to get the xp the NPC says:

Are you sure you weren`t followed? Watch out! ...etc etc

And then 4 mobs comes out of nowhere - 4 level 56 furbolg`s.

2 casters and 2 warriors :)

....so watch out :P

They killed me, a level 56 undead mage while that lame ass npc did nothing but gaze at them :(

I just completed this quest, and thought I should mention that when I handed it in, the quest giver walked down towards the water. Mounted, I stayed where I was, and when the 3 ambushers spawned, they didn't aggro. Then the lady came back and I picked up the next part fine. So stay on your beast and don't go down to the water. I was on the Everlook side of her and a bit up the hill.

ok you guys are confusing people, for the quest, you have to go out and find these 3 lv 57 runner things. they patrol the road around where you get the quest. just look for them. i did it at 52 because i got a 57 shaman to help me :D hehe. when you go back and turn it in, 3 or 4 lv56 ambushers come out and attack, they have nothing to do with the quest. i was on my mount, turned in the quest, they spawned, i rode off without getting hit, and then came back and got the next quest. easy.

If you're quick you can also kill one of the three in Winterspring, loot him, get the crate, then run for it. Like I did.

If you're a rogue, druid, or Night Elf, turn the quest in and stealth immediately.&nbsp The 4 mobs will spawn and walk around near the lake for a few minutes, then disappear without a fight.&nbsp :)

As with others, I went to the camp where I'd found the cauldron and there was a Winterfall Runner standing right next to it.&nbsp I pulled it and just the one came at me.&nbsp Killed him quickly and easily and moved on.

Yup.&nbsp Go to the camp at coords 59 - 6 and stand on the knoll.&nbsp Pull the Runner - when you shoot him he will come by himself.&nbsp Kill him, get the crate, and ride out.&nbsp A synch.&nbsp 56 lock with a pet, no troubles.

If you have to solo the Runners, make sure to target the one walking behind and kill him before dying/running like hell/feigning death. In my experience he's the one who has the chest.

"Remember the Cauldron from one of the quests? There should've been a Winterfall runner there with the other Furbolgs. This'll save you time from looking for the group of 3."

For solo players, this was great advice. No waiting, and an easy kill

Solo'd as 53 shadow priest. SWP one of them, full mind blast and mind flay, one fear, he died and dropped the crate. 200 hp left, the other mobs came back and killed me. Fortunately this was at the Winterfall site so very close to the graveyard.

Solod as a 55 warrior. Retaliation was on CD so had to do something else :S

Approached from the back (they walk in a triangle with 2 in the front) used diamond flask - charged - int. shout - was lucky with some crits on the one i charged, so he was dead before the 2 others came after me - sweeping strikes took care of the 2 others. Drank 1 superior health potion and finished with 400 hp!

didnt see any ambushers when i delivered it :S?

Coords for crate are 60.6
really easy with my 57 mage just get some distance between you and the runner then pull him with a fireball (didnt pull any adds) then nuke him fast as you can mount up and your done
How did you do this without pulling adds?` :P

i pulled the hole place, but was lucky and pwned the whole place! ^^

Solo as 57/58 frost mage!

For those of you who look for the Runner in the Northwest Corner of Felpaw Village(Where the single Runner and the Cauldron for the previous quest are), the Runner didn't link when I moonfired him. I was ready to fight 5 Furbogs, but the Runner was the only one that bothered me.

Killed one, took crate, ran like hell.

Lookout for the ambushers when you turn in, though.

Just to confirm loc 60,9 for the runner.

Lvl 57 surrounded by four lvl 54/55. Too many for my lvl 55 lock on his own. Hit and run may have worked. But i was lucky to find a friendly lvl 60 druid who aggro'd the adds and ran off with them for me while i was left to kill the runner.

Makes your day to get some random help on a quest.

I am a lvl 54 Human warlock and i soloed this.
I sent the voidwlker to aggro all the 3 of the Runners and i pulled the last one, as OokamiNoTsuki
suggested. As soon as the voidwalker was ready to die i sacrificed him. I finally killed the runner, he indeed droped the box for me and then i started running with my shield. When the shield went off i used a healthstone and kept running until the other two runners left me..

This was a fairly ez quest, im a 54 rogue and i teamed up with a 55 rogue did it. Everytime i have seen them they have been on the long path heading east, near the quest giver so just camp their. I think there r 3 lvl 57's so it can be hard.

Upon returning the quest she asks " are u sure u wern't followed" so i quickly stealthed and a 56,56 and a 57, come running in and just stand their stupidly. I thought they would attack the NpC or something. I could angled it right so i talked to her got the next quest, and let the next poor chap deal with them, but i wondered "could i take all 3 on".

So i ran up and cheap shotted one(likely shoulda sapped the 57). As a combat rogue i used my main combo for taking on groups, after the first cheapshot i throw on evasion, then i throw on blade of fury and adrenaline rush. Wut this does it increase my dodge by 50% for 30 seconds, basically making me invinsible. Then blade of fury ( a combat spec rogue technique) lets me attack two targets at once, with a 20% attack speed increase, and finally adrenaline rush doubles my energy regeneration rate by 200% so that i can pull out the maximum damage while in blade of fury. With this i managed to take out the two lvl 56's, just by SS spamming and using eviscrete since im a sword rogue, then with half health left i took out the 57. It was real fun

I wouldnt recomend trying to take on all 3 if u dont have a plan, or if u dont have AoE's or something

They all drop the crate. Someone must have killed one and there were only two this time
Killed one and then ran went back to body and the crate was there.
