The Hammer May Fall

Kill 8 Boulderfist Ogres and 10 Boulderfist Enforcers, then find Drum Fel in the Hammerfall outpost in Arathi Highlands.
  •  
Boulderfist Ogre slain (8)
  •  
Boulderfist Enforcer slain (10)

Description

Weaklings... all of them. You, <class>, what are you looking at? Think you're something special, huh? Why not prove it?

The Hammerfall outpost in Arathi's under attack. Unless we send them help soon, their demise is imminent.

But before you go rushing off, you may want to test your skills first. Northeast of Stromgarde in Arathi is an ogre mound inhabited by the Boulderfist tribe. When you can handle the ogres and enforcers there, then report to Drum Fel in Hammerfall.

Where is it: Arathi Highlands (SE of TM - follow the road)
Cosmos Level: 32
Creep Level : Ogres are 32-33, Enforcers are 33-34
Located at : Ogres are anywhere from 31, 48 to 35, 44, which is North (and a little East) of Stromguard. Enforcers are inside the cave at 35, 44

Creep XP : About 230 (for a level 32 mage, with normal rest)
Quest Completion : 2550 XP, and 30 silver.
Creep Drops : About 1 silver, and 30 copper per ogre. Good farming for tailors, since I had a pretty constant drop of silk and wool

Tips : - When they become enraged, they double their damage (from about 45 per hit, to about 100 per hit), but become much slower. Even a few steps back will buy you a few seconds more.
- I noticed that they had a fairly decent aggro range, so its best if you cleared the area instead of sneaking by them.
- Ogres are based along the road, and just North of Strom. The road is used often by both horde and alliance, but I noticed more alliance than horde. Some folks also wait for their group on the road outside Strom, so you might
get picked off if you're on a pvp server
. Its best to try and stay infront of the cave.

- Really good area for Herbologists. Noticed an assortment of plants =)

Finish:
Cash it at Hammerfall with a guy called 'Drum Fel' on the upperdeck, near the inn, at 74, 33
Time:
Took me about 40 minutes as a 32 mage, but I died twice, and did some pvp fighting.

Enjoy =)!

WHO:&nbsp 31 shadow spec ud priest
WHERE: 36,43&nbsp Boulderfist Outpost

NOTE:&nbsp Remember: as a priest DISTANCE is your friend.&nbsp Start clearing outside the mine entrance.&nbsp The ogres (need 8) are all roaming around the outside.&nbsp The enforcers (need 10) are all inside the mine.&nbsp Most of the enforcers are 34 but u can find some 33 inside or as respawns.
As a low level the trick is to get the enforcers one at a time.&nbsp You clear the outside (2-3 ogres sitting around) so that you can hit one of the enforcers and drag him out a bit so you don't have to worry about any addons.&nbsp Basically you take care of the ogre requirements and provide a safe area to clear out enforcers.

An awesome strategy that I found was that when the ogres or enforcers become enraged (their fists will start glowing red) is to run back a bit and start attacking from far away again.&nbsp When the ogres/enforcers become enraged their walking speed is reduced to about 50% it seems.&nbsp This makes it ridiculously ez to kill them as long as you don't get any adds.&nbsp Also you get minimal damage should be unable to shield.

The enforcers are INSIDE the mine.

The Ogres you need to kill are at this loc: 34,44. It's the same loc for the Enforcers. But the Enforcers are in a cave. Once you kill these guys head east then northeast. While on the path be watchful for Humans. There is a pack of 3 wandering the roads. The primary one is the one on the mount, he's a 38 Elite.

My results:
You gain 2550 experience.
Your reputation with Darkspear Trolls has increased.
Received 30 Silver.

The mobs are between levels 32 and 34, neither are mana users.
The Ogres(1147 HP) are scattered outside of the cave, and Enforcers(1280 HP) are inside the cave (All in the general area of 34,43)
There are also Witherbark Witch Doctors(Shamans, 1023 hp) in the area, same levels

Not too tough as a 30 hunter.

You can accept the second quest in this series without having completed the first, and if you try to go to Tallow with the second quest in your log he won't offer this quest, simply remove the quest from your log and he'll offer you this one.

I'm a level 33 priest and I tried to share the quest to a same level tauren druid, but I couldn't. Why is that? Isn't this the first one of these series?

The ogres are easy just because of their "powerful" enrage buff. As a level 30 druid you should have no problems at all: just dps as cat, and when ogres hands glow red they are reee-hee-heeaally slow. So just take a few steps back and either finish them off with starfire, moonfire or whatever, or use some time for rejuvenation and regrowth and win the fight with full health. I prefer the latter since they respawn pretty fast, you would want to move on and get them enforcers before it happens.

I'd say the main problem is probably the road. Many allys travel there, as well as a gang of three NPC:s riding back and forth. Stay away from that side of the mountain, the entrance to the cave is on the other side anyway.

As a druid of level 30, if you run into problems (in that case most likely with alliance), don't forget about your new Travel form. Shift, run and heal up.

XP is good, a little more than 10 000 all in all, if you are level 30.

Vena speaks the truth.
Call of Arms (slaying the Witherbarks) is getable at Hammerfall and makes this quest dissapear. You can abandon it and take this quest (The hammer may fall) then.

Ok, the problem with this quest is, you have to turn it into Drum Fel in Hammerfall, so if you get this quest, you have to do it before you get Call to Arms quest. However, if you get Call to Arms first, you can not get this one. You need to abandon Call to Arms and go back to Tarren Mill and Tallow will give it to you.

I wanted to pick up this quest for my shammy, mainly for the axe you get from the last Call to Arms quest, but for some reason Tallow won't talk to me. What quests do you have to finish before you can get this one?

Just kite when they enrage. They walk very slowly when enraged, makes things 500x easier.

I'm a level 30 druid and I found this quest HARD! Mostly because the ogres do 100-200 hits on me and when I get one down another ogre came and attacked me! It annoyed me but I got it done.. very..very..slowly..
