Comment by Whiterock

Playing Possum is one or the only quest needed to open Check in on the Edunes and To the Spire. Need more investigation, becose by the time I been doing the Rod quests I have done all other in Astranaar :< Maybe the burning of Astranaar quests are needed for second one.

Comment by Metzae

All you have to do is get inside the cave and loot the chest. Playing possum is just to keep the elite from aggroing on you. If you're OP, you can just walk in there, kill him, and loot the chest.

Comment by Loreseeker

As this is an alliance only quest and Oso isnt even a real bear you dont get any loot for killing the guy if you are horde like my hunter. You cant even skin him. Same goes for the Shady nook Guardians. No loot, no skin.

Comment by Gryhut

I was looking for a natural look on my druid so wanted the gloves she gives as a quest reward. Not very useful the quest lines they show so these are the quests that you must do if you want to get to this quest. (other quests excluded).

Go To Astranaar

Evenar Stillwhisper gives the quest Delivery for Orendil

Orendil Broadleaf then gives you Bathed In Light

This follows to Orendil's Cure which sends you to Pelturas Whitemoon

He then gives you Elune's Tear

At this point you can go to Raene Wolfrunner in the main building of Astranaar and she will give you Dryad Delivery (Not sure you need it but I did do Culling the Furbolg Threat But I doubt you need to)

From then on your on the quest line that will get you this quest.
Anyways I doubt there are many who transmog such items like me but incase someone needed this quest line specifically there you have it.

For those who like a little rough-and-tumble when questing, note that Oso hits like a freaking truck and takes a lot of damage. I downed him as a ret pally yesterday: level 25 geared in quest reward gear from Redridge and Ashenvale (with the exception of the 2-hander I got from Shadowfang, and the goggles I made from crafting).

It was a long fight and I spent at least half of it spamming my self-heals just to stay in the game. Most satisfying melee in months, I dare say. Very enjoyable.

Edit: By long, of course, I mean "longer than three seconds," which can feel like an eternity in this age of nerfed content. Figure the fight went on for 20 seconds, which is a by-gosh relative epoch in quest-melee years.

Playing Possum

Obtain the final piece of Dartol's Rod, the Iron Pommel.

	Iron Pommel (1)

Provided item:

	Shael'dryn's Playing Possum Technique (1)

Description

The last piece of the rod is held by druids of the claw. I asked their leader, Oso Bramblescar, to give it to me, but he and his guardians nearly killed me! Clearly they too were affected by the Horde's corruption of the Forest Heart.

But, I have an idea for how you can get into Oso's cave and grab the pommel.

Ever since I was a faun, I've been pretty good at playing possum. It works great against bears! I can teach you! Go east to the Shady Nook, and if they try to get you, just use my technique.
