Rampaging Giants

Additional requirements to obtain this quest:

Your reputation with Wintersaber Trainers must be at least Honored

Rivern Frostwind wants you to kill 4 Frostmaul Giants and 4 Frostmaul Preservers.

	Frostmaul Giant slain (4)
	Frostmaul Preserver slain (4)

Description

Around 4,000 years ago, Tyrande Whisperwind saved the life of the frostsaber queen, at the hands of rampaging giants. Since then, the frostsabers have been allies of the night elves.

These same giants that once were a danger to the frostsabers, still exist not too far from here. They are called the frostmaul, and they have taken over the large valley to the south.

Prove your loyalty to the frostsabers; kill these giants in the name of the frostsaber queen, Shy-Rotam!

Currently being 1010/12000 into honored here are my tips for this quest. You MUST be alliance to do these quests.

The Wintersaber Trainers are located in Northern Winterspring and pretty much the point of grinding reputation with them is solely to get Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber. Now, pre-BC this mount was extremely hard to get due to the little amount of reputation you would get per quest turn in thus the grind was highly not worth it. Since Burning Crusade came out the reputation has been increased however the mount is still uncommon since people don't find the worth of the grind.

To get started you must find Rivern Frostwind (Note: he is literally on top of the giant rock at (49,9). You can get up to him from the back of the rock).

Outline of the reputation levels:

[Neutral]

Frostsaber Provisions
1500/3000 Reputation: Winterfall Intrusion

[Friendly]

[Honored]

[Revered]

[Exalted]

Overview of the quests:

Frostsaber Provisions
Repuation: 250 (Humans: 275)
For this quest you need to collect:
- Shardtooth Meat (5)
- Chillwind Meat (5)
This quest seems pretty straight forward. I suggest killing Elder Shardtooth and Chillwind Ravager to get these meats. I find a good place to farm these is around (58,19). They have about a 30% drop rate.
Winterfall Intrusion
This quest becomes unlocked at 1500/3000 Neutral
Repuation: 250 (Humans: 275)
For this quest you need to slay:
- Winterfall Shaman (5)
- Winterfall Ursa (5)
This quest you need to head down to the Winterfall Village (67,36). If you're finding a lack of Winterfall Ursa look on the hill behind the camp. Shamans are spawned inside the camp. If you see a lack of them kill what's in there and some will spawn. There is always a shaman with High Chief Winterfall.
Rampaging Giants (Group)
This quest becomes unlocked at Honored
Repuation: 350 (Humans: 385)
For this quest you need to slay:
- Frostmaul Giant (4)
- Frostmaul Preserver (4)
This quest you need to head down to the Frostwhisper Gorge (62,67). And ramp down can be found at (59,64). These have a good spawn rate, pretty evenly mixed. If someone else if farming them you can hear back up and across the bridge to about (62,73) and you'll find more there. These are 60 elites however they are pretty easy to kill (me being a 0,21,40 destro warlock). The only downside to this quest is really the walk.

Tips for farming:

It's always nice to have a friend. This is a really boring grind so it's nice to have someone to do it with.
Riding Crop or Skybreaker Whip are worth it for this grind
Except for the elites, you can pull a few of these a time as a 70 and be okay.
Once you hit honored and you unlock Rampaging Giants I would only do that and Winterfall Intrusion. The ride is longer but not having to farm the meat with the bad drop rate and the bonus repuation is worth it if you can take the elites.
Don't get discouraged. It seems like it's gonna take forever but it's not as bad as it seems. In one day I'm a bit into honored.

Some math:

Neutral -> Friendly:
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions:
  12 trips ---- Humans: 11 trips
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and adding Winterfall Intrusion at (1500/3000):
  9 trips --- Humans: 9 (there'll be a bit of leftover)
Friendly -> Honored
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions or Winterfall Intrusion:
  24 trips ---- Humans: 22 trips
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and Winterfall Intrusion:
  12 trips --- Humans: 11
Honored -> Revered
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions or Winterfall Intrusion:
  48 trips ---- Humans: 44 trips
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and Winterfall Intrusion:
  24 trips --- Humans: 22
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions or Winterfall Intrusion and Rampaging Giants:
  20 trips --- Humans: 19
- Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and Winterfall Intrusion and Rampaging Giants:
  15 trips --- Humans: 13
Revered -> Exalted (Same order as above)
- 84 trips --- Humans: 77
- 42 trips --- Humans: 39
- 35 trips --- Humans: 32
- 25 trips --- Humans: 23

Good luck all!

falizar, you are so incorrect, it's not even funny.

It's 60 quests to friendly, 120 quests to honored, 240 quests to revered, 420 quests to exalted.

Though not live yet, it seems that this quest will reward 350 reputation in 2.3 and beyond.

The rep you are going for here does not affect the way the local wild frostsabers react to you. It is to be able to buy a tame wintersaber.
A further note, with the new riding skill, it apperas that you only need skill 75, not 150. I got this by gettting someone else who has one link me the reins. I will be very interested to see how this works out :)

Guys, i keep hearing 800g for this mount.&nbsp i don't think that's right.&nbsp After the expansion things got cheaper.&nbsp The cost for a normal epic mount is only 620g including training, but the mounts themselves only cost 90g now (to me anyways, and i'm exaulted with Darn and SW).&nbsp i would see a reason for blizz to make this mount any different when they changed everything else.

Bearing in mind the actual travel time you may want to check the furblogs area first, if no one about grind to your hearts content. Doing both quests will increase your rep per hour also.

I'm no expert at being a mage by any means, but I'm a 63 mage and I can kill the preservers and giants no problem. I'm currently specced full frost too, but my fire spells work just as well. The shield works wonders at protecting me from the biggest of their hits.

I have just one burning question.... After you complete the quests, does he GIVE you the mount or do you have to BUY it from him for the same 900 gold pieces as all the other mounts do? If you have to buy it, about how much does it cost?

Just started, this mount looks pretty awesome.
Does the amount of reputation gain change with the different quests? or is it the same for all of them?

I have been going thru this faction quest for a bit now and I have not seen any change with my reputation toward these sabers my question is for those that have gone higher in rep do they ever change to yellow or green?

Do not bother to do this quest,

It is a lot harder then the other two quests, and gives no more reputation then either of them.

This is the third quest given by Rivern Frostwind <Wintersaber Trainers> once you have obtained Honored Reputation with them. Currently Anonymous has Winterfall Runners as the third quest he gives, but this is incorrect.
