The Battle of Alterac

Enter Alterac Valley, defeat the Horde general Drek'thar, and then return to Prospector Stonehewer in the Alterac Mountains.
  •  
Defeat Drek'thar.

Description

The Explorers' League believes there are artifacts in Alterac Valley, but the Frostwolf orcs won't let us explore. We can't allow the Horde to stop our scholarly pursuits! Defeat the Frostwolf general, Drek'Thar. With him dead, the orcs will lose their edge.

Drek'Thar is in Frostwolf Keep, in the south of Alterac Valley. Vanquish him, and then return to me.

This quest is completed simply by winning an AV in any manner. Drek does not have to physically be killed.

Once you complete this quest by talking to Prospector Stonehewer, you will be able to continue on. Talk to her once again after completion and you will be able to choose 4 great items.

This quest that gives you the choice of the 1 of the 4 items is.

So this is a great quest to complete, have fun killing some horde and get some nice gear from it. /Salute

Good Luck

in case you were wondering, Drek'Thar isn't soloable, hahaha. He's a pain, but you can probably take him down with half the raid if you're smart and you capture the frostwolf graveyard first.

[Cyan]If you want this quest, you have to pickup the quest for the Stormpike Insignia first, once you have done that you can be given this quest to kill Drek'Thar - and then claim an item from the linked quest below as a reward.
Both quests are acquired from Dwarves within a few yards of eachother outside the Alterac Valley - Alterac Mountains cave entrance.

Edit YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THE STORMPIKE INSIGNIA QUEST TO BE ELLIGABLE, JUST NEED TO HAVE ACCEPTED IT.[/Cyan]

With the new version of AV, this quest has become a huge pain to complete. Now most players seem content to run to the middle of the map and just have a huge battle while a few of the stragglers handle towers and bunkers. If you planned on getting one of the items this quest leads to at 51 you may want to make other plans.

It may be difficult for horde, but god, to even get Alliance to organize made me lose 135 IQ and my friend quit for everquest.

It may be a bit of an uphill battle but the rewards at the end are very worth it.
