Arikara

Slay Arikara. Bring her remains and the Incendia powder to Motega Firemane in Whitereach Post as proof of your deed.

	Light the Sacred Fire of Life
	Incendia Powder
	Arikara Serpent Skin

Provided Item:

	Incendia Powder

Description

Take this refined and purified Incendia powder to Thousand Needles and toss it on the sacred fire of life. It is located in the Darkcloud Pinnacle on an isolated needle where they bury their dead.

The enchantment that I have weaved into the Incendia powder will summon Arikara to you, <name>.

I fear she may be stalking Cairne Bloodhoof; too much Tauren lore has changed, and I fear this has angered Arikara. Move quickly before all is lost, <class>!

Just a note if you do this in a group. Each party member has to light the fire. I did this with one other person and we ended up having to fight Arikara twice, as we both had to light the fire to get the quest completed (and lighting the fire spawns Arikara). You might be able to have other party members light the fire while Arikara is already spawned, thus avoiding extra battles.

After the kill just jump to the lake next to hill. Fastest way to go down.

Same with me. But the second time try to

1. Right click on the Fire, make it burn
2. Then kill Arikara
3. Report the quest @ 21,32

Good luck :o)

1.10.1 came out today and i tryed this quest with a buddy.

We reached the spot and the elite kept fading in and out, with a burst of smoke each time.

So we ran up to it and killed it, and it dropped the quest item. But to complete the quest&nbsp we also use the stuff on the flame.

well the second we killed it it would respawn. literally the second. we must have killed it over and over about 5 times, but it kept respawning the second after.

As for the fire, it was un clickable. Except for about 1 millisecond each minute or so, there was no gear. When it did flash i would try to click it, but failed each time.

So yeah, this quest was totally bugged for me and my friend. GJ 1.10.1

To save yourself a few trips to Darkcloud Pinnacle, I recommend doing the following quests at the same time as this one.

Grimtotem Spying - chain starting with Message to Freewind Post

On his little platform there are 4 Tauren spawns. He's pretty easy to kill as a 29

sigh.&nbsp i'm a level 29 warlock, and figured i'd try it alone just for the sake of.. whatever.&nbsp i get up there, kill all the spawns on that island, spawn Arikara, and kill her! i was so amazed that i did it alone, and as soon as she dies.. poof.&nbsp her corpse is gone and i can't loot it.&nbsp :(

Okay, so I did this quest about 30 seconds ago.&nbsp Quest site is 38,35 and the passageway is around 31,36.&nbsp I did this as a 27 Warlock with no difficulties what so ever.&nbsp Kill the Taurens, light the fire, spawn is, in fact, elite.&nbsp Kill the elite, loot the serpent skin and you're done.

Coords are mods for the poster who asked.&nbsp Go to www.curse-gaming.com for loads of mods or search Google.

Yes, I did it... I needed help from a 52 hunter but i was able to do it with the hunter grabing all the agro, including Arikara, while i got ready to use the Incedia Powder... We had to time it perfectly but as soon as he killed Arikara i used the ashes and well... Completed it!

(Have to do within that 5 second time frame when Arikara is dead - right b4 the respawn)

So me as a lvl 27 shauman and two other lvl 29s take this one on... we kept killing the thing over and over... no problem there... problem was the respawn at death for the serpent and the grunt reinforcements... I literally tried doing this over 20 times before I figured there was no way... When you do get the fire to start it says invalid target at the end and you have to have your buddies to distract the serpent while you do it... No way to complete this quest right now...

later

As of this morning, May 31, 2006.&nbsp I did the quest with no problems.&nbsp Don't know if they fixed this in the last patch or just lucky.&nbsp But lit the fire, killed the snake (not to hard, did it as lvl 29)

My level 29 priest was having a hard time killing arikara...she died when Arikara becomes enraged.

I do not think a priest can solo this...but if there is a way for me (as a priest)to solo, please tell me how. I died two times with this quest.
I had all buffs ( excluding Warchief Blessing and rallying cry of the dragon slayer and the Wickerman Ashes ) on me...and the 25% stamina increase from halloween apples

Came here cause I thought I was doing something wrong Arikana (however you spell it) is spawned allready and the flame is lit, and once you kill her the first time, she just keeps respawning.

Really, really easy quest. I did it with a Level 28/29 Warlock, but this could be done by almost any range of level as long as you have the Fear spell (or any variation of it that another class may have).

Get rid of all the mobs on the way there, and kill all the ones on the needle with the campfire. Regen your HP/Mana if needed, and throw the Incendia Powder on the fire. Back up a bit, and wait a few seconds while Arikara summons. When she does, send your pet into her and start casting Fear. When she runs, start dotting her up (I do Curse of Agony, Corruption, and Immolation), then cast fear on her again. Feel free to cast a Shadow Bolt or something of the like on her. Then fear her again. Replace any DOT spells that wore off. Fear again. And pretty much repeat that process until she's dead.

She didn't touch me once.

i did this quest with lvl 29 hunter and lvl 26 pet

and just like grotbags said
Fire is at 38,35.
The start of the trail up is 31,36.
if you dont have coords- the trail up is on your way from freewind post to the great lift you will see a big blue totem to the right and the trail it to the left of the totem , and once you get up to the needles you have to go to the fourth needle,kill everything, summon it, kill it.. easy !

I just tried this one 5/1/06 and have the respawn problem. Killed her 5 times and could not get to pu the powder on the fire. I have the scale but cant get to the fire to finish. Everytime I go to the cords, Arikana is already there.
