Not sure why anyone is having any kind of trouble.

1. Head south right past Wildbend River.&nbsp You'll see a bear named Grimclaw on your left.&nbsp Wave at him.&nbsp He points to he cave which is very close.

2. Wear the cloak.&nbsp Approach the cave out of distance from any furbolgs.&nbsp Use the charge on the cloak and just walk in and talk to Vilcor.

3. Choose stealth and stealth out, or just run straight out until they stop chasing you.

4. Head back to Auberdine, or Hearthstone from the cave.

So simple I hope this helps ppl make it just as simple for them.

I thought I buggered up the quest when a mod (AutoInnerFire) triggered right after I used the charge on the cloak - casting Inner Fire put me back into caster form. However, I approached the cave from the right side, killed the Furbolg there, then pulled the two at the entrance (one by one) and walked into the cave without aggroing anything else.

Easy XP as a lvl 18 priest.

I read the previous post of clearing the way in case of the 'force' quest.&nbsp Well, did that and encountered only the respawns...4 or 5, no more than 2 at a time...quite easy (used a minor mana pot though)...hunter 19

If only he would stop during fights, or pull aggro or something, and not just walk through the camp without a care in the world, sending more and more of the damned things on me...
Hunter 18 (never used the cloack, killed everything in sight instead :P )

weird, when i die it spawns me at bashal graveyard.

I compleated this as a lvl 19 hunter with a lvl 18 fully trained cat.&nbsp First I fought my way in, this cleared most of the mobs for later, I talked to the guy and choose to fight the way out, we had a run in just at the mouth of the cave, then just after the fallen logs then about halfway down to the road, each one was with 2 mobs, I ran into more going down because I didn't clear the path compleatly of all the mobs.&nbsp It was fairly easy with my cat, the guy and me all fighting, and I suspect a group of two or three people around 18-20 could easily do this rought.&nbsp Reward is a leather belt, some silver and about 1700 in xp, this path was orange for me at lvl 19.

Just a warning for you guys. Do NOT enter the cave if you're in combat. I decided to try and sneak in (Not a Rogue, by 'Sneak' I mean falling down the cliff behind the cave entrance, and hopping in, behind all of the Furbolgs). This led to me ending up half-way inside the cave, and a Furbolg then saw me and placed me in combat mode.
The person I was meant to be saving then "Roars as his shape shifts, and runs away."

The man ran out of the cave, and disappeared, and left me high-and-dry in the cave, surrounded by Furbolgs, without any advancements to the current quest, and still with the cape equipped.

*Note*
The man does respawn inside the cave, but it takes a good ten minutes for him to do so- So this is best left avoided if possible.

Just another example of how, sometimes, you should follow the directions of the quest giver, and, sometimes, you shouldn�t. I have now died two times on this quest, and, of course, the game being the ungodly b*tch that it is, I have each time been resurrected at the far end of the area.

If you do not want to chose "Stealth" kill everything on your way in, do NOT bother using the cloak to sneak in. You simply cannot hope to protect your charge against that many mobs unless you are a high level mage with effective AoE spells.

With that in mind, it might be a good idea to use the cloak for some other quest, where stealth might be useful, before completing this quest

Have any enchanters tried to get this quest, disenchant the cloak and abandon, reget?&nbsp Seems like it would be a good source of free, infinite enchanting ingredients.

I did this quest at lvl 24 night elf rogue. I switched continents and hadn't finished this one, but finally came back and did it. It was totally simple, I didn't even bother with Grimclaw because waving at him didnt seem to work. I didn't use any kind of stealth for this quest at all. I just ran up by the cave, killed most of the Furbolg camps next to it (only the two in the way, not all those other ones further south), walked in and started the quest and chose "By Force", and when we walked to Grimclaw I had to kill about ten more Furbolgs that came out of nowhere but it was easy and took less than five minutes.

When I turned the quest in at Auberdine I still got 1750 xp (and the belt which was still a minor upgrade for me), not bad for such a simple quest at lvl 24.

to avoid dying 15 times and having to run from the NORTHERNMOST graveyard to the cave in the SOUTHERNMOST part of Darkshore, just run past all the baddies-yes they chase you, no it doesnt matter-to the back of the cave.&nbsp you will die here and all the baddies leave the cave.&nbsp run back to your body and rez at the back of the cave.&nbsp give the guy the cloak and have him stealth out.&nbsp as soon as it says quest complete across your screen, hearthstone back to auberdine!&nbsp easy as apple pie.

I did this quest with my druid and when I used the cape instead of stealthing, it changed the enviroment around me, something like the effect you get when you're in ghost form. There were no mobs outside at all, and once in the cave I had to right click on the buff to go back to normal! Last time I tried it, it only gave you stealth, like the druid's cat form. When did they change this?

well with the mages new invis all items giving invis changed the engin one aswell turns the enviroment into a ghost type of land and you can only see other stealth or invis units so this cape alot with the gnome invis from engineering is nerfed alot its still nice but you will not be able to see mobs

You need to first complete the quest where you get the pelts for the cloak.&nbsp NPC then makes the cloak and assigns another quest to find the master. When getting THIS quest, is when you are given the cloak to take to the master of the bear.

I completed it rather easily at 16 (druid). The hardest and most annoying part is getting the 5 pelts from the Sires (easy) or Matriarchs (harder). I got 750 XP, so all that time hunting cats was rather... well, I'm disappointed. The reward was worse than what I was wearing.

When you're approaching the cave via clearing out the furbolgs, take care to get the one to your right (the cave's left), he is hiding behind a hill and in some bushes.

Anyway, easy finish for an annoying quest, but one down.

Found Grimclaw.&nbsp /wave -ed at him.&nbsp He looked directly at the cave mouth.&nbsp I took a slightly southerly course between the two blackwood camps, but had to take out one blackwood as I made it to the edge of the mountains just south of the cave entrance.&nbsp Had to pull two blackwood warriors, but they don't persue very far, so if you have to run for it, they give up easily.&nbsp Killed one.&nbsp Went into the mouth of the cave, the other followed me in.&nbsp Killed that one.&nbsp Spoke to NPC (Vorac?&nbsp Can't remember name).&nbsp Chose Stealth.&nbsp When the "!" appeared over his head, spoke to him again.&nbsp He put on the cloak, turned into a moonstalker, and ran through the camp untouched.&nbsp I walked out of the cave, made an immediate left turn along the mountain ridge, and went back to the road the way I came.&nbsp No problems.&nbsp You can also moonstone out of the cave, but if you get out before those two blackwoods respawn, there's no need to.

Don't know what people are saying about them wearing the cloak. . .it's for the NPC you're trying to rescue.

Yes you can keep the cloak. Throw away the cloak and abandon the quest and you will get a new one in Auberdine.

No, you cannot use it outside of Darkshore. That would be to great really, invisibility for all classes while being able to move. I tried perception (human racial ability) on Volcor and couldn't find him.

Raene's Cleansing in Ashenvale has the best quest reward I know however. That rod works everywhere!

And the guy you are supposed to meet with is a white bear along the road :-) Funny guy that druid.. Didn't say much either.

I enjoy and trust your comments on all the quests.&nbsp If I were to follow half of the others that leave them id quit the game.&nbsp they make them so hard.&nbsp It is a p,easure to see yours because I know I am going to be able to complete it without long delays and incorrect advice.&nbsp Thanks done in less than 10 mins (and that was traveling time).&nbsp didnt shed a ounce of damage.

The hardest part about this quest was getting the pelts.&nbsp I could only find about 4 or 5 sires or matriarchs in all of southern Darkshore and the droprate was app. 1:4.&nbsp Probably the most aggravating quest i've done yet.

went to grimclaw../wave..he showed me in what direction to go..cleared the left side of the usas went behind the on log tent..snuck in..turned in quest and accepted stealth on the second part of quest..i did this at lvl 18 druid..i attacked in bear form..when they ran i went to human form quickly and hit my target with moonfire once or twice..what ever it took to keep them from running into camp and aggro the others..maybe this will work for you too if you are druid..try it if you want

Was totally bugged when we did this. My wife and I (19 rogue and 19 druid) too the "by force" quest. The first time, he was fighting mobs that were 20 meters away. I'd go up to them, and get a message "Too far away". I'd go back to where he was, same message. my wife died, then, even though I'm standing next to him, I get a "failed" message. next thing I know I'm being attacked, but there are no mobs near by. I die.
Take 2. He just runs. Doesn't stop for anything. The mobs completely ignore him, and go for my wife and I. We die. Ended up having to take the crappy reward for the stealth quest.
Same thing happened on the absent minded professor quest. Server crashed today. Coincidence?

GM has replied to the Quest bug I addressed, and the GM suggest waiting 30mins before repeating the Quest to avoid this bug.

so... I was a idiot and activated the cloak, then decided to dismiss my pet... which changed me back.... DOH!

is there any way I can get the charge back on the cloak, or am I gonna have to abandon the quest and start over?

50 Rep with Darnassus.

I did the Escape through Force solo at level 20 (Hunter). I failed the 1st time, but the key is to let at least one of the waves, there are 3 waves of 2, hit Volcor so he stops to fight. If he doesnt get aggro he will keep walking and spawning the other waves. So stay a bit behind him and let him get aggro 1st, then send your pet off to the extra add, or send your pet to help him(with growl on) and you take on the add. Wasnt too bad, in the beginning I had to mend pet once and near the end I was pretty low on mana, but we won =).

Tried Force a few times, but he either ignored mobs even though I stayed *way* behind him or mobs would "evade" my attacks and still do damage. Either way, I had no chance.

stealth... great. cloth pants. just what my rogue needs.

Plz cords first,,,,
rest is just BLA BLA BLA
:)

I had a better cloak when I did this so I just let him stealth out and I used my hearthstone.

lvl 19 warlock, and made it this way

i went in wearing the cape, but they attacked my voidwalker

as i talked to volcor, my voidwalker was almost dead, so i used sacrifice to get a good armor.

after that i gave voldor the cloak, and i ran
back on the road i was free and the quest completed :)

I finished this quest as a lvl 20 Hunter. I didn't even need to use the cloak's invis. I just fought my way in, talked with Volcor, and "fought" my way out. Since I had killed everything on the way in, walking out was a straightforward procedure.

In order to fight my way in though, I sent my pet in to attack mobs one at a time, and picked them off with my bow. On two occasions, my pet pulled two mobs, but they were easily dealt with. Just make sure that you have full mana when you fight the mobs just in case. Overall, this was an easy quest to finish at lvl 20.

ok so everyone has put the success stories on here but how the hell do i find the cave?
pls help!

Thanks

basicly.....i massacred them all with my lvl 22 lock..and pet...was'nt to hard...just go south of auberdine till you see the white bear. wave at the bear and he points to where you need to go...then if you want. just take a couple of the mod's out...and sneak in. give the cloak to the man and let him sneak out. and just pick off who's left on the outside.

just stealth in with the cloak, talk to him and say escape by stealth and then your done, no fighting involved and you yourself dont have to sneak out. Its the simplest way. I was a 19 warrior
