Caliph paths around near the water towers (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=7847). Be careful, he's got 2 stealthed Wastewander Rogues following him around.

Comment by gerwim

Coords are 56,32 (he's patrolling that Waterspring Field)

Comment by liquidiq

He is around 62,36 with 2 rouges.

Comment by Napolie

Sometimes the rouges makes a stop but Caliph wanders on this is your chance for an easy kill, just kill the the 2 rouges when they are alone then go for caliph whithout is support i was able to solo him as a lvl 41 gnome afflictionlock higher stealthdetection in form of spell or such really helps knowning when they stop.
pretty far north on his patrolroute seems to be the place

Comment by sacredxavier

if you're a melee class, you might wanna clear the mobs around the area before you try your luck with him; because if you're actually clearing the rogues first, they'll run away and you ain't gonna kill them in time if you get disarmed.

otherwise, just kill caliph straightaway, and run - the rogues wouldnt stay on your tail for long. after that return and loot his head.

Comment by Otiman

Very annoying to find, does anyone know the direction he patrols?

Comment by vilger

64,35 for me -- for 44 lock no problem , really easy quest !

Comment by phiat

Very easy. I just ran around the field till i found him. The rogues were not a problem. Soloed the main guy as a 44 combat swords rogue. Just kill him loot and ran. Didn't bother with the rogues.

Comment by knot8686

lols i am fucking this quest

Comment by royalplaya

very easy.. solod as a 42 pala holy.. just killed him then ran away then went back and looted

Comment by Rhasi

As a rogue, it's easy to time a Distract so that Caliph is pulled away from the two adds that patrol with him, and then take him out when they're a good distance away.

Comment by chimera

Soloed with lvl43 fury warrior.
Run in, intimidating shout to shake off adds, kill Caliph using death wish. Loot the head, get rid of adds with piercing howl.
I used the draenei racial ability to heal (just before the pull) and a healing pot.

Comment by milesd

62 33 fir me. Never saw the 2 rogues.

Comment by Frigo

Soloed as a lvl 44 Frost mage. Sheeped one rogue. Frost Nova Caliph and other Rogue, backed up, Blizzard, Blizzard, cone of cold, repeat. The sheep came off just about the time I killed Caliph. I don't think they ever got a hit in on me.

Comment by BigRooster

Very easy..... nailed him as a 43 Hunter... just ran thru towns on my mount till I found him... he chased me out, then i dismounted and took him with my pet and myself. Coords were right

Comment by pr0found

63,36 for me. he wanders around.. you just gotta walk around the groups until you find him. his 2 rogues were with him, but definitely an easy quest. lvl 46 warlock here

Comment by Tassard

Found him at 61 63, did it as 44 Rogue with no problems :) good luck:P

Comment by AttentionHordeGM

I solo'd level 44 warlock, pretty easy...I found him near the shadowmages and whatnot, I think thats where he spawns...I should have the co-ords somewhere...

Comment by Soundfx4

for* -_-

Comment by shadowkid104

Easily did this as a 44 lock, just howl of terror the mob and work on caliph, make sure you have a healthstone or healing potion because they come in handy. you might have to use your VWs sacrifice

Comment by diskenth

44 Affliction Warlock camping at 62, 36.

When I saw him, I sent in the Voidwalker to tank all 3 mobs. I dotted Caliph up and nuked him with Shadowbolt. Finishing Caliph off with Drain Life, I had the Voidwalker tank the other two mobs. I quickly retreated on foot, and retrieved my from being too far away from my Voidwalker; The two mobs didn't put up a chase!

Comment by Moragish

When i found him i just rode by on my mount and agroed him.... ran off little dismounted and just started kiteing him. hit him with 2 spells and in about 10 seconds of running hte rogues left combat and turned aroudn and caliph continued to follow alone. then i wooped his ass, relly relly relly easy.

Comment by Silvernia

Got him as a 43 shadow priest. Solo with Inner Fire, Touch of Weakness and Fort. Kept distance and opened with Vampiric Embrace followed by Shadow Word: Pain, Mind Blast, Mind Flay, Shield (as all 3 approached, to avoid interruption). Then just rinse, repeat. Took down all 3. I tried kiting him twice at first with no luck. Couldn't shake the rogues that way. Tried the above with no problem. :)

Comment by Svaerke

Confirmed spawn at 63,36. No adds.

Comment by DaMouse404

The way I did this was to sneak around in cat form looking for two rogues stuck together. Once you've found them they casually stroll back to where Mr Scorpidsting spawns. Pounce, claw, kill etc and when he runs off you have to dash after him to finish him quick before the rogues catch up :).

Rewards 7200 xp as of patch 2.3

Comment by Greencrayon

As i was looking at this quest to see where he was, he started attacking me, now he only has 1 rogue with him. He was easy as a 45 fire mage. I pollyed the rogue frost nova him and pyro for 1003 :) then fire blast...Hes dead.

Comment by Obex

soloed at 46 as a shaman: I found him at 58.36 which is the bottem corner of his patrol because i saw him reach the post and turn around and head backwards i pulled him droped stoneclaw totem to make the rouges attack it killed him ghost wolfed ran. Won.

Comment by Celice

(Note that this is an update of my post on Thottbot almost a year ago. I thought it would be useful here.)

There are four water towers that form a T shape: a central one at 61,34 and three around it to the SW, SE and NE at 60,37 63,37 and 63,31. Stand at the central one and you can see them all.

Caliph Scorpidsting spawns at the Waterspring camp at 58,39 near the SW tower, but don't try to kill him here as there are two Wastewander Shadow Mages with their voidwalker minions waiting to interfere with you if you do. He is accompanied at all times by two stealthed Wastewander Rogues.

After a minute or two Scorpidsting walks off to the central tower at 62,35. From here he walks back most of the way to his camp. Then he returns to the central tower and goes on to the southern one at 63,37. If he gets this far without being killed his two bodyguards disappear completely and he breaks into a run back towards the camp where he started. On the way there he also vanishes until he respawns at the camp once more.

So to find him, look first at the camp. If he's there then wait for him to move off and get him between the towers. If not then go via the central tower to the south tower. If you don't see him on the way then he's dead and you should go back to the camp to wait for him to respawn.

This was easy with my rogue as I could use distract to freeze and kill each of the bodyguards in turn and then deal with Scorpidsting himself.

Comment by Burningdeath

Do this while doing More Wastewander Justice (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1691) he paths in the area of the mobs for this. I saw him twice while doing this quest.

Comment by ttsaypra

Spawn 58,40

Comment by sylvanesta

Easily soloed as a 42 fire mage. Stay back as far as you can and open with Pyro. Fireball until the mobs get close to you than Frost Nova. Back up, fireball/fire blast/arcane missles your heart out onto Caliph and then run. The rogues despawn and you barely get a hit of damage.

Comment by coolcasey6

i soloed as a 40 hunter not easy but as long as yuor pet can keep aggro it is a petty esy quest, and if u are a hunter u can pull him without pulling rogues or atleast i did.

Comment by jakolyoo

hope this helps. i did this as a human rogue lvl 43 and i went behind him and his 2 rouges...sapped caliph..waited til the 2 rouges kept going before started beating him up.lol easy

Comment by Ladno

Just soloed him: no adds. Easy as hell, didn't even take any HP off me.
(Lvl 47 arms warr)

Comment by ekhie

My first post ever, so bear with me... I just soloed him (43lvl BM Hunter) with my new-found pet (unruly) and actually had some trouble at first; encountered two stealthed adds and Caliph himself and they slayed my pet pretty quickly but fortunately didn't resist my Feign Death at all. I fulfilled my health and mana and attacked him again, now the stealthed adds were visible but again my pet got killed too quickly and I had to FD again. Third time I watched close and noticed how the adds stopped walking and were like peering about but Caliph kept on walking. Now that he really was alone, at the third attempt it was easy to kite him alone until he died.

Moral of the story: preparation is profound! :-) If I'd have to do this quest again, I would probably use Explosive Trap and Volley to maximize the damage done if you encounter him with the adds, put my pet on Intimidation and Bestial Wrath and grab everyone aggros, Serpent Sting everyone and start blasting at them as much as possible. I didn't have time to do any of these as the amount of DPS Caliph and his rogues were dealing to me and my pet totally overwhelmed on the first attempt. If you are hunter like me, keep a close eye on your pet's health to time your Feign Death correctly if you get in trouble should your pet fall..

I have to admit that I'm not very seasoned WoW-player, only a bit over month under my belt and this 43lvl Tauren Hunter is my one and only character so far... probably pretty easy quest when you get full hang of the things! :)

Comment by mrrodgers

really easy as a 43 enhancement shammy. I just ignored the rogues and dpsed him down, died, and reincarnated, thankfully as a troll again.

Comment by LeninaK

Did this in a group, 46 Warlock + 44 Warrior. I couldnt do it with just my voidwalker and myself, the scorpids were terrible and straight after killing them the chicken aggro'd a basilisk! So yeah, grouping is good. kill caster first = win

Comment by Kermode

This quest is available in two places, In Gadgetzan and in Steamwheedle port - on a wanted poster both places.

Comment by billytenutoisme

Lol, I got lucky as I approached him the Rogues shot off in another direction leaving him alone to be killed! : D

Comment by Thaelir

As a priest, he mind controls very nicely, get his rogues to do the work of taking away all his hp, then finish the job.

Comment by whittle

The quest gives 21,600 experience with the Recruit-a-Friend bonus at level 42. (+ 14400 from the Recruit-A-Friend)

Comment by burrito666

I did this quest with a 43 holy paladin. I'm sure anyone else could do the same. He walks around south of gadgetzan with 2 mobs, the rogues found in the same area.

Comment by pespect

hey guys i am so desperate with this q!i've looked anywhere and i couldn't find him lol

Comment by Uoyredrum

Solo'd as a level 41 UD Combat Rogue with no cooldowns. I did get lucky though...I distracted and both of the adds stayed, but Caliph resisted and kept walking, so I was able to open on him without aggroing his two adds. My vanish and evasion and sprint were all down from a previous attempt at killing him, so I had none of those. The only extra thing I had is my rogue is a 300 engineer and I had thorium grenades, but I didn't use them till he was running away in fear and I just finished him with one. If you can get lucky and get a distract like that he should be cake as a rogue.

Comment by oriand

My level 43 destro warlock soloed this... i just puled with shadow bolt, and I had my Voidwalker tank all of the rogues and him... then i used imolate, conflagurate, and then just shadow bolted him down, looted, sacrificed void, and RAN. Simple >_<

Comment by stepeit

Not hard, made it with a 42 rogue (comat). I tried a few times, if you are low level you will pull much. I pulled 6 mobs ...

Comment by TennantMan

just killed him at 61. 35

Comment by dt75006

It took me forever to find this guy. I waited by the camp mentioned in previous posts and kept running back and forth to the water tower but never could find Caliph. I finally spotted him after about 20 minutes of running around. Thrilled that I finally found him I just ran in and attacked. His two rogues and him started fighting me, then one rogue ran off and pulled a mage with a voidwalker while another mob spawned nearby and joined in. It was only a matter of seconds before I found myself in a fight with Caliph, 2 rogues, 1 assassin, 1 thief, 1 mage and his void walker. As a lvl 46 Prot Paladin I just kept Holy Shield up as much as possible, laid down Consecration everytime the cooldown expired, had to pop Divine Shield and Heal once. For other paladins out there, Holy Shield is your friend so use it as much as possible.

Comment by Socksabox

Just did this :D With a shadow priest level 45 and 46 drood :D Just burned down caliph took his head and shadowmelded and all done :D

Comment by titchyyy

Easily done as a level 44 shadow priest, three dots on him, mind blast, looted head, feared the two adds and ran for it, handed quest in!

Comment by EvilGod

Easily soloed as a level 48 Warlock.

Comment by jeremy1048

Found him at 63.23, 37.14

Comment by doherty

Soloed as a 47 warrior. Rouges went down easy as heck with retaliation, used cleave and then attacked them. Should be easy for all

Comment by Fangery

So easy as a rogue just sap one rogue then wait til caliph walks away then kill the rogue then do the same with the other rogue. After that caliph was not hard at all. Soloed as a 41 combat rogue (adreniline rush helps alot)

Comment by kovakova

I've just kill him around 60,35, I think he got some route to walking around. Seems somewhere there.

Comment by Prplcheez

Level 46 ret paladin, used seal of wisdom, judge light, and consecration. Went down without a problem, ended the fight with 1300/1900 hp and full mana. Any class with AoE should be able to do this without anything going wrong.

P.S. Pull him from a range so you can get some stuff going before the rogues get to you.

Comment by skink2

Soloed as a 45 enhance shammy, no problems at all... just dropped stoneclaw and magma and killed them all of one at a time. Maybe pull with a chain lightning but i didnt bother.

Comment by SJBequeath

Soloed as a level 48 rogue. Ambushed Caliph, built up combo points, Ruptured, chased down and killed and then vanished to get rid of his rogues. ! had maybe 2% health left, from the three of them beating on me.

Comment by Ilovemypriest

Solo'd easy with my lvl 43 shadow priest. Shadow Word Shield so even tho the rogues were attacking they were doing me no damage. Kill Caliph, Phsycic scream the two rogues and ran away. Eeeesy peesy. Dont forget priests, keep your shield up.

Comment by Narielaos

I solo'd this as a 43 warlock, just had the void walker tank.

Comment by Nedjen

Solo'ed as a lv 40 Assassination Rogue.I used distract with the 2 adds on the very edge of the AoE, this way the distract would only distract the adds. Sapped one, killed the other. Then repeated this (the other mob got released from sap and ran towards Caliph). With the two gone, I used Cold Blood, Ambush, used Evasion (just to avoid losing much HP), had to use 5 CP Rupture twice, with Deadly Poison 2 and Instant Poison 3. Missed/got parried/dodged a lot of times, that's why I went for DoTs (Rupture and D.Poison)

Comment by Nekrotik

Killed him on the first try as a level 42 draenei fury warrior. I used a pretty straightforward approach, first making sure I caught him in an area clear of other mobs. Drank an elixir of greater defense, then popped bloodrage-intercept, then intimidating shout to send the rogues away for a bit. Wailed on him until the rogues returned, then spammed cleave until he was at 20% and finished him off with a couple of executes. The rogues were easy after that, being already mostly done for from the cleaves (I recommend you have glyph of cleaving if you're trying this method). I cheated a little and popped gift of the naaru for some health insurance halfway through, but I'm not sure I needed it. I should definitely also mention I was wearing a full set of BoA gear - the plate shoulders and chest, two Swift Hand of Justice trinkets, and two Venerable Mass of McGowan maces. I wouldn't try this alone in regular greens until at least level 44.

Comment by purplkush

level 45 warlock soloed no problem destruction spec, just send pet in and dps.

Comment by Madivh

Tried to solo this as a level 41 Mage and was unsuccessful three times, getting him down to 56% was my best. Waited till level 43 and was a piece of cake.

Comment by SgtBudde

You need to have at least Neutral-status with Gadgetzan, in order to return this quest, while You can accept it from Wanted-poster with Unfriendly-status

Comment by Moburu

Soloed rather easily as a 43 Balance Druid. I stealthed around for a bit in Cat Form and tracked him with Track Humanoids, then went into Boomkin Form, pulled him with Wrath, dotted him(I was glyphed mind you), and just poured DPS onto him. I managed to kill him when I was at about 60% health, then I self-healed and pwned the rogues. Easy process.

Comment by jong9307

i did this easily level 44 rogue i stealthed behind him and the two rogues you sap one of the rogues, wait for caliph and the other rogue to walk until they wont be able to detect u, kill the sapped rogue, then either fight caliph and the other rogue at one time or sap the other rogue and kill him then get caliph one on one

Comment by Stigmata

"Caliph" is a latinization of "Khalifah" خليفة which is kinda hard to translate but closes to "king" - it means ruler of a nation following sharia, islamic law.

I have no idea why exactly he's named this, i guess just the desert theme fits. It makes me feel like more tension between the west and Islam, with the "caliph" portrayed as a criminal/terrorist. And "caliph" isn't naming him by accident x[

& it's not his first name, it's kinda funny to see everyone address him like it is.
