Supposedly in BC, you can get rid of your white mining pick and this will be a useable item for mining (without having to equip it).

True as of 2.0.

In Silithus you can deliver the letter at 41.88. Pretty easy earned exp. You don't need to fight at all/ Elektra

i wonder who the "crazy old god worshipping night elf" he talk about is ,)

Comment by Marylinn

Brann himself used to be the turn-in NPC, but as he is currently occupied in Northrend with the events in Halls of Stone, they have replaced him, much like they did with Nessingwary at the Expedition in Stranglethorn Vale when he moved out to Nagrand and then onward to Sholazar Basin. :]

This was a fun quest. I killed everything along the way and came up with very good loot for a 58 hunter. Also got a new Spider, Rock Stalkers are cool!

"Make sure my monkey is getting adequate food, water, and hugs."

Aw, Brann just wants to make sure his monkey gets some TLC while he's gone. :)

Counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Letter that starts quest still drops as of Cataclysm.

Oh well, it's better than what they did to Old Blanchy. He got shot in Westfall but he's still around in Northrend.

For anyone that wants to see if they have done this (or any other quest) or not, use this link.

http://eu.battle.net/api/wow/character/tarren%20mill/Panzer?fields=quests

the eu part at the start is EU/US. I think US people just use 'us' instead. Tarren Mill is my server, just replace that name with your, and of course, set in your name instead of mine, Panzer.

In return you will get a LONG list of numbers. THIS particular quest id is 8308, just press CTRL+F to search in the file and see if this number is there. If it IS, then you have done it. If NOT, then you haven't done it.

Comment by Sandwalker

This quest now awards 500 rep for Cenarion Circle, rather than the 250 stated (plus any applicable reputation perks).

Comment by Baracuda

Is it possible that Brann was corrupted by C'thun's whispers in Ahn'Qiraj? Why would his entire expedition die and he alone survive? Did he help us in Ulduar so we could kill Yogg-saron for his Old God master?

Comment by kurasii

I don't think this drops any longer. Just killed probably around 100 mobs at Hive'Regal and nothin :(

Comment by rnsrgnt

Just dropped from a Hive'Regal Slavemaker.

Comment by slumber

it looks like this quest can only be picked up while on Dearest Natalia or after having turned Dearest Natalia in but before picking up Breaking the Code or Glyph Chasing.

i tried farming it...

on a character that had completed Silithus Quests but had never seen this quest
on a character that had completed no quests in the zone
on a character that had finished the prerequisite to Dearest Natalia, Vyral the Vile, but not picked up Dearest Natalia itself

if you read the text of brann's letter in this quest, it asks you to go check on his camp and inquire after his monkey. when you do Dearest Natalia, you go to the camp and question two NPCs, and one of the lines of dialogue is something like "i've been meaning to ask you about that monkey." so, narratively, it'd make sense that the dialogue in Dearest Natalia is supposed to take place after you've found brann's letter in Brann Bronzebeard's Lost Letter.

anyway, that's the only way i was able to get this quest to show up for me. it dropped within 3 kills outside hive regal both while on Dearest Natalia and after turning it in but before picking up its two follow-ups. every other time i checked to see if it would drop, i killed 25 bugs before giving up and moving on to the next stage of the experiment. granted, it could be really bad RNG, but i doubt it!

Comment by cavitycaulk

This dropped for me today after about maybe 8 bug kills above ground at Hive'Regal. I was on the quests Breaking the Code, Into the Maw of Madness, and Glyph Chasing.

Comment by Tnax

So is there any more info about the tunnel that leads into the Ahn'Qiraj ?

Pro Tip for anyone after the tmog post-BFA:

I was originally farming this in current Silithus (with the sword in the ground) for about 20 minutes with no luck, then it hit me this is an older quest. I phased to old-world Silithus and went back to Hive'regal and the letter dropped on my third mob kill.

	Brann Bronzebeard's Lost Letter (Provided) (1)

Description

To Whom It May Concern:

If you're reading this, I'm either dead or soon to be dead. It's hard to say. Most of the crew is dead anyhow.

Found information about a Titan. Great battle between him and an Old God. Yes, a bona fide Old God. Found ancient tunnel leading to Ahn'Qiraj. Taking it.

Take this letter to my old camp. Make sure my monkey is getting adequate food, water, and hugs.

-Brann Bronzebeard, Explorer Extreme

P.S. Watch out for crazy Old God worshipping night elf.
