Description

A far off land in Kalimdor awaits

This is part of a chain.&nbsp If you want help with the first step in the chain, don't ask in the second step, go to the first step and look.&nbsp I don't think that there is one question that isn't answered by doing that.&nbsp No wonder why each quest page has so many entries.&nbsp Like this entry.&nbsp The one I'm typing write now.&nbsp Utterly useless.

The cave is also able to se on the map... (not mini map ofc) The cave is guarded by several raptors so be prepared!

Just follow the road to the south and when the road turns east, you turn west. (Southwest for being exactly)

Btw when u shall take the scroll it dont needs to be opened. Just right click and then complete quest. )

I did this as a level 41 Hunter.&nbsp

The easiest way to get into the cave with killing the least number of raptors.

If you come up to the cave, you want to go in from the left side.&nbsp When I say left, think of it as if you're standing directly in front of the cave, and you are looking straight at it, it will be your left side.&nbsp If you come in from this direction, you can easily pull the raptors 1 by 1.&nbsp The other directions have considerably more raptors.&nbsp

There's only 3 raptors inside the cave, so pull the necessary outside raptors, and go in and get your scroll.

Easy Peezy!&nbsp Not even close to dying baby.

I went to the cave and found the scroll but couldn't get a 'click cursor' to open it. Anonymous's lists the next part as lvl 51, so maybe you have to be a higher level than 47 to open it.

The scroll is inside the cave at 31,66. Just head in and it's up on a stone on your left.

Even stealth classes are likely to need to fight so unless you are a decent bit higher you might want to fight your way in as the raptors are quite tightly packed and adds are very likely.

Be sure you go to the Bloodfen Burrow with raptors and not the Den of Flame with all the Firemane dragonkins. There is a box in the far back of the Den of Flame, which I thought was part of the quest and maybe it was bugged. Come to find out, I was just in the wrong cave!

31,66 for the correct cave!

Good luck.

It's in the SW corner of Dustwallow Marsh, go inside the cave (it's really really small) and it's sitting on a rock inside, it's hard to miss

You can get a quest in mudsprocket to kill Goreclaw just at entrance of cave with scroll inside (http://classicdb.ch/?quest=11184).

That's a extra XP and easy to solo. Just take care, that's tons of raptors near him and before the scroll at cave.

The best approach is from the left side of cave. Wait and pull 2 patrols (1 at a time), 2 more raptors then Goreclaw.

Then go to cave entrance, 3 more raptors to kill, then get the scroll.

This was very easy as a lvl 41 Warrior. I killed all the lvl 40-41 raptors to make a path to the cave. The above cordinates took me right to it. The scroll is just inside on the left. Got heavy leather, 500xp(rested) for each kill, Raptor flesh for my cook and 3600xp for the scroll. A very productive start for the day.

Once you find the cave, just slide along the west side, kill the raptors (only did 5) and retrieve the scroll.
Easy. Did solo as 45 lvl Warrior

(31,65) CT coords...should be close for cosmos though.

Basically just run down the road til you pass the cut off to Barrens and then follow along the mountains in the south west.

The scroll for THIS quest is indeed in a southwestern cave of the Dustwallow Marsh: the Bloodfen Burrow. The Bloodfen Burrow, then, is located west from the Dragonmurk.

In front of the cave there is a $%^&load of 40-41 raptors. Beware. The scroll's inside the cave with 2 of them.

Just wanted to gloat and say while killing Raptors to get to the cave, one of them dropped a Journeyman's Backpack (14-slot), which makes the quest entirely worth it, since I'm getting 2 14-slot packs for the price (if you can call this a price) of one.

Well actually begins with a scroll that
randomly spawns on one of the three
pirate ships south of Booty Bay. The
one's with the captains on them.

It can be on any of the three boats. I
found it once by the gnome captain. Again
on the other ship in the bottom level. Third
time just near some barrels on the mid deck.

To get to Dustwallow Marsh, go on the LEFT boat at Menethil Harbor (wetlands)

You will arrive at Theramore, go out the gates, and you are in Dustwallow Marsh

from there, to get to the Scroll you need to complete the 2nd part of Cortello's Riddle, you can use this screen shot to guide you

The bridge in Swamp of Sorrows is at loc 22,48. you are looking for "A Soggy Scroll" in the water under the bridge.

In Dustwallow Marsh the scroll is in Bloodfen Burrow at 31,66

first one starts on a pirate ship south of booty bay, then it leads you to swamp of sorrows, entering from the west side, the clue is under the first wooden bridge, next it leads you to a cavern southwest in duskwallow marsh.

I gained 3600xp at level 42, soloed it pretty easy. Only attracted multiple mobs once.. and I had 3 on me. Died, came back and tried again. You have to kill all the raptors in the small cave to get to the scroll in the back.
