Man, am I tired of hearing you people griping about quest rewards.&nbsp Is it all about the physical item at the end of the quest?&nbsp Man, if that were the case, I'd have quit playing this game a long time ago.&nbsp Take a look at it from a different perspective:

1950 - Malin's Request (assuming it starts there)
3000 - Wand Over Fist
3000 - Trelane's Defenses
300 - An Apprentise's Enchantment
3000 - Attack on the Tower
3750 - Malin's Request

That's a total of 15,000 Experience Points.&nbsp Now, this chain of quests is capable of being completed by someone in the area of level 35.&nbsp At level 35, 15,000 Experience Points is going to consume almost 25% of the total you need to get to the next level.&nbsp That's not reward enough?&nbsp I would say it is.&nbsp It's fantastic XP for ONE QUEST STRING.

Quit whining and play the game!

I level slower than anyone else in my guild, because I spend a lot of time doing quests.&nbsp Even grey ones if I have them.&nbsp I guess for me, just having a set goal in mind, and working to accomplish it, plus the somewhat interesting storyline, gives me some satisfaction with the game.&nbsp

Play the game however you want, but take it from a 5 year Everquest veteran, once you get into the "grind mode" and enter the higher levels, a lot of these games start to lose their luster.&nbsp Pretty soon playing the game becomes like work, and you spend your whole time doing the same instance over and over and over, or being LFG to do said instance.

So, a recomendation to the newer WoW players, take it slow, explore, and actually READ the text in quest dialog (OMFG! READING?)

I started this chain at lvl 34 but i'm a hunter and pet saved my arse countless times.
So if u wanna have a go at it, u'll make loads of XP on the ogres in Stormgrade, just to get to the tower of arathor (400XP/ogre killed at lvl 40).
The last part (attack on the tower}, be extra carefull! ogres spawn right next to the chest as u take the items..the elementals won't do @#%^, especially at top of the tower. Bring friends :)

"the rewards suck" Who cares? Not like your wasting time doing the quest and getting exp a little faster and thus leveling faster so you can go farm mobs for those purples.

Well as a night elf hellbent on getting exalted with stormwind, the quests I've been doing have been for faction not the item (experience was and wasn't a blessing, didn't want to outlevel my other quests!)

At 37 I got 100 stormwind rep for most parts (only 25 for getting the gem enchanted and 150 for the finnal turn in.)

That alone should be urge enough for some to do this quest.

A careful hunter armed with feign death can do this without too much worries. Just climb carefully the first flight of stairs, kill the ogres, get the chest, if your health drops too low and you aggro more than two ogres, run up some of the stairs to a clear area and feign death - you can do this all the way up, getting the three chests. Just be careful when resurrecting, you can feign right after it.

Good luck! :)

This is a TOUGH mission. You cannot storm the tower without at least two lvl 40 groups. And if you are lvl 40 and don't have something better than either of these you are in sad shape.

Did it with a 32 mage, 46 Priest, and a 51 Feral Druid. Was tough, died a few times, but got it done eventually.

after such a long and hard quest of fighting elites what a worthless reward. Binds when picked up so we can't even sell it at the AH.

Actually, if you play it smart you can sneak in and loot the pieces. It'll take multiple trips, but as long as you get the pieces when they're relatively unguarded, it's not too hard.
