You can find Volcor sitting in a cave called "Blackwood Den", which is south of the Grove of the Ancients along the mountian ridge (44,85). When you speak with him, you have a choice of how to escape the cave - escape by force, or by steath.

If you're a rogue or similar character that can stealth, then the stealth method would be your best bet. As a hunter that option wasn't available to me, so I chose to "escape by force".

Luckily, I had cleared out all the surrounding mobs before going in, so there weren't a ton of bad guys to kill. Even with the path clear, approximately 5 owlkins (or whatever they are) appeared anyway and attacked us. Volcor may walk slow, but he does fight along side you, so we were able to dispatch everyone. At most we had two monsters on us at one time.

Once you get to the road, the escort quest is done and you can turn it in back at Auberdine.

Find Grimclaw on the right side of the road heading south. /wave at him and he will point you towards the cave. Fight your way in and do not use the cloak. Should be fairly easy as you can pull one at a time. Once inside speak to Volcor and choose the escape through stealth option. You can choose this no matter what class you are because you should still have the cloak in your inventory. Volcor runs off and you can hearth or walk back to auberdine.

Completed easily as a 19 hunter.

tho i've made this quest while it was still pretty red to me, it was much easier than any of orange or even yellow ones in my log.

managed it in about 10 mins and received almost 3 more times xp, so it was totally worth it.

Comment by Vyano

The cloak given to me wasn't in my inventory when I completed the quest to find Volcor. To get out I used power word: shield (I'm a priest) and ran to the left and fought it out away from the camp, resisting agro from others. I only agro'd one lvl 18.

Comment by Thumpah

easily soloable by an 18 hunter. Just killed all the furbolgs outside the cave one by one, went in the cave, chose exit by stealth then walked out. Didn't even use the cape.

Comment by bathazar

i used the cloak right after i /waved to grimclaw... i went in the cave... but the cloak was still on so i couldnt see anyone or anything. I, like an idiot, ran out and looked for another cave. in doin so... i jumped off of a hill and my disguise faded... i have no more charges left since it only started with one. I tried to abandon the quest and then retake it but the cloak didnt disapear in my inventory in doing so and i didnt get another one.

this quest is easy once you know what to do and how to do it.

1. wave to grimclaw
2. run to the southeast where a cave is (without using cloak)
3. talk to Volcor
4. choose escape by stealth
5. then use cloak and escape without a single person seeing you

my cloak was useless so i had to choose escape by force

Comment by Fizzleboy

OMFG what just happened?? >>
I talked to him, and then I could choose 2 quests .. I did'nt take a quest and killed ONE mob outside cave .. And now I can't take any escapes?!?

Comment by EliteLeader

Coords on this guy please!

Comment by HalfBlack619

I soloed as a hunter also and chose the stealth option.. I just shadowmelded for a sec at the entrance of the cave and ran for it. I had previously cleared out the furbolgs. But they had regenerated or whatever. Ran right through them.

Comment by Zodiath

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.

Comment by wow666

just wait untill he runs out of the cave then u have completed the quest

Comment by Massacher

confirmed as a rogue didn't need to use the cloak either, choosing the escape by stealth method. he shape shifts into a saber, runs off and soon as you walk outside the cave quest is complete. return to town to turn it in and receive reward which as a rogue is useless so sell it or DE if you're a enchanter.

Comment by darcinator

Easily done as a lvl 15 druid.... I used the stealth version, and fought snuck my way out the side i had cleared to get in. Any that caught aggro were gone before i hit the road.

Comment by entropicdragon

The prerequisite for this quest is A Lost Master (part 1).

When you hand in this quest, you get a choice of two follow-up quests, Escape Through Stealth, which simply requires you to return to Terenthis, or Escape Through Force, which is an escort quest and rewards a greater amount of exp, rep, and money.

Comment by fa113nang31

I was actually quite worried on how I should do this quest, I followed your advice and did it fine, I stealthed out, maybe I regret that because I could have got more rewards if I forced my way out...
But A level 19 Druid can do the quest thats all I know.
:D

Comment by Amaur

I did the quest before reading this, and I uesed the cape to sneek into the cave, and then un shifted. He was sitting there just the same, and when I talked to him it still let me pick Excape by stealth. So even if you ues the charge to get into the cave you can still pick to let him run off. And get the other reward. I found it much easier this way didn't have to fight your way in, or anything, and then just leave how ever you please.

Comment by tantryc

Ok first tried to use the cape to sneak in and then escape by force. Bad idea. If your going to escape by force make sure you clear out the front of the cave first. Because mobs spawn as he's walking, so if you havent cleared you have to deal with the mobs already there plus the ones that spawn.

So here's how i did it the second time, cleared out the area in front of the cave, then ran in and accepted the quests. Two mobs spawn outside of the cave, pretty easy to deal with as he helps you, then about halfway two more spawn, and almost at the end two more spawn. Did it very easily this way as a lvl 19 hunter. Very handy to use track humanoids so you can see the spawned mobs running at you.

Comment by Chumonster

True if you escape by force it will be a good choice if you can equip leather if you cant you escape by stealth but then again if you escape by force you get 14 silver and
1750 experience (or a 10 80 compensation at level 80)
250 reputation with Darnassus
63 reputation with Exodar
63 reputation with Gnomeregan Exiles
and steadfast cinch
escape through stealth gives you 6 silver and
775 experience (or a 4 80 compensation at level 80)
75 reputation with Darnassus
as well as scarab trousers

REMEMBER TO WAVE TO GRIMCLAW!

I forgot, and was stuck as a moonsaber without seeing anyone in the cave. It sucked. So remember to waaaave.

Comment by Plethorian

If you use the cloak by accident or because you're curious about being a cat before you do the quest, you can destroy it, abandon the quest and retake it, the quest giver will give you a new one with a charge to turn into cat form.

Comment by Suriea

Ok.

Just did this and it is not a very clear quest or instruction. lol.

The deal is as follows:

If you are a non stealth class and want to have an easy escape, follow this guide. If not, skip down a paragraph.

Wave to Grimclaw. Make your way to the cave by killing the mobs one by one. It will take a while, but it's worth it. You can then have a choice between Stealth or Force Escape. Assuming you want stealth, choose that and use the cape given to you. Easy, right?

If you are interested in the Force escape, follow this guide.

Wave to Grimclaw. Use the cape and run while invisible to the cave. This is where I got confused and slightly screwed up. You must leave invisibility to see Volcor in the cave. Right click on the invisibility icon at the top right of your screen. He will then appear on your screen and you can hand in the quest. Choose Force escape and have fun.

As previous posts have stated you get more experience and rep for doing Escape by Force. Also, obviously, if you are a stealthing class you can completely ignore everything I just wrote and choose however you want to complete the quest.

Comment by Tofutti

Taking ANY damage will take you out of stealth and thus remove the charge from the cloak. This was something I had not considered as I moved (not far enough) around a campfire. Be careful sneaking in.

Comment by Alaural

Okay, I got the Enchanted Moonstalker Cloak and everything, but I accidently used it before I saw Grimclaw (because I didn't know what to do), and now I can't use it again... Please help!

Comment by Nekrotik

Chose to leave by force as a level 21 shaman. As advised, I single-pull cleared the camp before entering the cave and started the event. Volcor does very nice damage against the attackers that spawn, three pairs in all. Got past the first two pairs (all ordinary melee types) and was just about thinking it was a piece of cake when the third pair appeared - two casters. Bad news, they heal each other. They killed me, but fortunately the graveyard is nearby (unlike pretty much every other quest in Darkshore) and I was able to run back to find Volcor holding up surprisingly well - in fact, one of the casters was almost dead. After throwing down a healing totem, we dispatched the other one fairly easily. So don't get discouraged if you die, just get back right smartly and finish the job. Oh, and don't forget to /wave to Grimclaw before heading in to clear the camp or you will find an empty cave.

Comment by Xully

this quest counts toward LM of Kali

Comment by Coldbear

Can't remember where I read this, but a few years ago I think I saw some solid information on how this was supposed to have been connected to the beta druid cat form quest that was ultimately tossed out before the game went live.

A Lost Master

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Find Volcor in Darkshore and give him the Enchanted Moonstalker Cloak.

	Enchanted Moonstalker Cloak (Provided)

Description

The cloak is complete, <name>. The time has come to find Volcor. I can only hope we are in time.

The cloak's magic, once invoked, will not last long; perhaps five minutes. It will be up to you to know when to use it: I would suggest waiting until you find Grimclaw.

If what he has told me is true, you will find his master in a cave south of here. Grimclaw will be alongside the road waiting for you. Signal to him by waving when you see him, and he'll point the way towards his master.
