Location: Kalimdor, Tanaris, entrance cove is 68,41. the cape on the east
you will find Metzen in the middle of the village, in a stable.
There are 4 mobs infront and several around.
Mobs is about lvl 44-45.
If you are not much higher or even lvl 60, bring friends for help,cause they all attack at the same time.

The target is also located near 70, 34 in Seraing Gorge. This is the road intersection to the SW of the tunnel entrance.

He is surrounded by multiple 45-47 mobs which will come at you in a group of about 5 or 6.

Easily soloed with a 60 Mage (of course), but with a little help you should be able to do it as low as 45.

You recieve this quest from Kaymard Copperpinch in Orgrimmar (For the Horde don't know bout allys) his Coordinates are 55,66.

Found Metzen the Reindeer at 68|34 in Searing Gorge (Dustfire Valley).

Kommentar von TheOnyx

Keep in mind that, while the Fresh Holly you receive from the Revelers is soulbound, this quest reward is not soulbound. Preserved Holly may be given to other players (or auctioned in the Auction House).

Kommentar von 6001

This can be done quite easilly if your willing to sacrifice yourself as the Reindeer does not need to be used.

Just run in and speak to the reindeer, then choose the option in the message box.

I did have the help of me voidwalker to take most of the heat though. Was level 42 when completed this.

1000 Gold Ransom? hmm guys, we better go to Outlands and farm some gold. JK, you dont give them any money but kill the captors. In Tanaris, Lost Rigger cove, right before the building next to the ship building place

Basically watch your back cause there are alliance who do come out here.just be careful.

Merry Christmas

In addition to monetary and experience rewards, the quest also gives +500 rep with Steamwheedle Cartel upon completion.

Kommentar von Deluxe05

This gave 9,000 XP & 500 Steamwheedle Cartel faction/reputation.

Kommentar von Cernunous

Found at 73, 48 inside stable in Lost Rigger Cove encampment.

Kommentar von cjsommie

For anybody thats never been to Searing G, the best way to get there for horde is Undercity - Arathi Highlands - Wetlands - Loch Modan - Searing Gorge. I'm just posting because at lvl 45 I've never been there and I spend 2 hours trying all kinds of different ways.

Kommentar von 109227

I soloed this with my mage at 44 and here's how: I went to Lost Rigger Cove and hugged the coast till I got to the fort. I walked in the main gate rather than going around to where the ships are, though. If you plan it just right you can pick off a lot of the lone walkers without drawing a crowd. You'll see Metzen right when you walk in but he's behind a few mobs. Pick off a few lingering pirates who might draw bigger mobs than you need. Then get ready, erect your mana shield, run towards Metzen, Blink then as the mobs swarm you quickly click on metzen to talk to him, (the sprinkle dust command is in the text box so don't worry about having your bags open), click to sprinkle the magical dust, he will be freed and you will be killed. It's sad but you can res at the healer for a quest complete and a job well done! Merry Christmas everyone!

Kommentar von Thottbot

ok.. so i saw a couple of level 40's in my server riding this reindeer mount. little did i know how hard this quest is for a lvl 40. lost rigger cove is occupied with lvl 48 mobs. do this quest only if you have lvl 45+ friends helping you. i had to learn the hard way. and the walk from the graveyard to metzen the reinderr is pretty far.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Coords listed above are correct.

Some mobs (kidnappers) may need to be killed.

Walk up to reindeer and 'talk' to him. This will invoke NPC dialog box which has option to use dust on him.

Reindeer glows then vanishes.

That's it.

Nice easy 4950XP

Kommentar von Thottbot

64,34 Searing Gorge is Correct. You'll see a camp of 6 or 7 Dark Iron Kidnapppers, a tent, and the reindeer. You've gotta kill off maybe 4 lvl 45 mobs at once for this quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Metzen is west of thorium point. there are a few 43-46 mobs

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok Just finished quest with lvl 42 (tauren) hunter.
Did it solo all the way - just me an my pet.
Basic run through for horde.
Go to Orgrimmar.
Get quest from the goblin dude.
Take the zepplin to undercity.
Fly to Kargath (If possible) if not, take flight path to the nearest other and run there.
At kargath, follow the path south of the Inn till a narrow path leads up through the mountains to the west.
Take the path, then when you reach a fork in the road take a right (north).
Not far up is the camp where blitzen is.

From there either kill em all in a party,
Aggro them with a pet or freind and then run in to do the objective(Recommended),
Or run in and do it real quik.

Happy holidays!

Kommentar von Thottbot

K first of all the Reindeer is in the Searing Gorge at cords (64.34)for those who don't know how to get to Searing Gorge there are two ways, read at the bottom section "How to get to Searing Gorge".

Quest Details

The Reindeer is at cords (64.34)in the Searing Gorge he's surrounded by four lv 45 Dark Iron Kidnappers. Those four are stringed together so if you attack any of them they well all attack. They also have the ability to net (paralyze) so unless you have AOE attacks, are at least lv 48 and have ranged attacks, or can blink out of or free yourself from a net, then you'll need to group this quest.

How to get to Searing Gorge 2 Methods

1.) Go to Badlands which starts at south of Loch Modan at cords(47.76), once in the Badlands go to cord (4.62) there is a valley that leads to Searing Gorge(its directly below Kargath).

2.)Part A:
Kill Margol the Rager (He's in the Searing Gorge so you'll have to get in from the above method, he's a lv 48 elite, soloed as a 47 mage no biggie, his cords (72.80) its in a valley in the moutains, valley starts at cords (65.77)

2.)Part B:
After you've killed Margol the Rager make sure you get Margol's Gigantic Horn, right click the horn to open a quest. Go to Moutineer Pebblebitty at the Valley of Kings below Loch Modan at cords (18.84) after completing her quests you get a key to the Searing Gorge I highly reccomend doing this saves lots of time for future quests in the Searing Gorge.

Kommentar von Thottbot

yeah, there is one deer in southsea pirate's camp, near 73 47
mobs level around 45 there

Kommentar von Thottbot

There is one in Searing Gorge - 64,34. As a L60 I just walked up, talked to the reinder and it completed without any aggro.

The mobs are 43-45 non-elites.

Easiest way in, once you have got there, is the flight path at Thorium Point, top left hand corner 37,29

Go to Kargath, head west, up through the pass which brings you into Searing Gorge.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Like heck there is no raindeer in tanaris i just helped him lol. he is in the stables inside the camp... the talk of the plank made me think he was in the boat but using track beasts i found him pretty quickly :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

64,34 Searing Gorge is where he was. 41 priest just ran up used scream and talked to him freed him then died. Ressed then hearthed out.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is really easy. You just fly to badlands. Take path that leads west from there. There is a path to the west, through mountains that leads to Searing Gorge. Once you get to where path splits head north and to the left you will see camp. Run in, fear everyone then click on reindeer and done.. You might die running out but quest will be completed.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Can be found either in Searing Gorge and Tanaris

Happy Holidays�

Kommentar von Thottbot

That's because the reward for this is an item that you use on your mount.

As you cannot have a mount until you are 40, it would make sense that you would not be able to get the quest until you're 40.

/shrug

Kommentar von Thottbot

Do alliance and horde have different rescue points? Or does metzen go from tanaris to SG every year?

Well for '07, Horde LOC IS 73, 48 in TANARIS.
East coast, halfway down, in Lost Rigger Cove with lots of 45 pirates surrounding it. A LOT of pirates. Easy for level 70s or for people coming right after someone else cleared out area for metzen quest.

Don't forget to pick up some noggenfogger. 0:

Kommentar von Thottbot

the reindeer is in tanris for horde in lost rigger cove:)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Metzen is in Tanaris at 73,48. Small stable outside one of the buildings in the Lost Rigger Camp.

Enjoy!

Kommentar von Thottbot

He is def in Lost Rigger Cover in Tanaris for all HORDE players. Make sure you have the dust, and also if other people are after him, WAIT, because u will attempt to rescue him and fail, then you have to go back to ORG to re do the entire quest ; )

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well i found him in Taranis in the pirate camp and when i sprinkled the dust on him like 5 pirates spawned like 42-44
it was easy though
Lvl 58 Bloodelf rogue Area 52 FOR THE HORDE!

Kommentar von Thottbot

how are you supposed to get 20 of these things?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just as a note, you can do this quest twice. First from the questgiver in your own faction's capital and a second time from the questgiver in the opposite faction. Of course, getting the quest for the second run WILL result in death from the amount of people in the Capital, so either have a group with you or get the quest fast.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I solod the quest. Used cat form to sneak up to him. Then I just taked to him and ran. I died unfortunately but now I have a reindeer.

PS. I did it in Tanaris.

Kommentar von Thottbot

73,47

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well what can I say....Inviso Pots FTW!
As a lvl 44 Warrior, I finished up 2 quests and had this one to boot in the area. So, i went to the back side of the docks, cleared a few out over the fenceline and used an inviso pot to get to Metzen.
When I came back visible I was mauled but had enough rage to fear all of them out and I quickly used the dust..completed the quest and ran like hell,although...those feared mobs smoked me as soon as they came to.
Although I died on this, it didn't take me all the way to Gad as a previous post stated, only to the front end of the wavestrider cave. So the walk back was painless. Spawned on the other side of the fenceline and hearthed back to Org.
All in All very doable if your a lower level

Kommentar von Thottbot

Is the reindeer in searing or tar?

Kommentar von Thottbot

There is a deer in Tanaris. You can find it at 73,48

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just a side note, this quest gives 500 Steamweedle Cartel rep. Not that it's a big deal, but still nice ;-)

Kommentar von Thottbot

lol i picked this Q from org as an ally :p

stealth in pick up vanish hs xD

Kommentar von Thottbot

To make this easy, go east from Thorium Point, Searing Gorge, until you hit the V in the road. The Reindeer is on the left.

Kommentar von Thottbot

67,33 confirmed, ther is a way you can seak around to the riendeer and use the powder on him wothout fighting the dwarves

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I fund mine at 73,47 in Tanaris.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i soloed with my 49 mage, the place in tanaris is on the east side of Caverns of Time, mobs are 44-46 and there are quite a few.

*Edit*: Me an 49 druid took out 5 allys (44,44,43,43,49) who were all doing this quest, needless to say it was great fun

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this quest should be done with Stolen Winter Veil Treats, given from the same questgiver, as the two spots are close together (Searing Gorge and Alterac Mountain).

Step 1: fly to searing gorge, go to 67,34, kill the surrounding iron dwarves, there are about 4, including two in the outer-camp.

Step 2: dismount and use the magic dust on the reindeer, his antlers will start glowing and then he'll dissapear.

------------If you have not done Stolen Winter Veil Treats----------------------

Step 1: fly to hillsbrad, head to Alterac mountains (look out for holiday snow piles inside the snowy area, snowballs! :) ) and go to 35,72, in between 3 trees should be a 'Strange Snowman', talk to him to complete the quest, accept 'You're a Mean One...' if you think you can take on a 36 elite.

Step 2: go to the flat area chock full of yetis at these coords: 31,52
search the area for The Abominable Greench, he is a large gray yeti, /target works great, kill him.

Grats :), reap your reward from the santa orc in orgy or the alliance equivalent of course! (:!

EDIT: To get the coords mod, go here: http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/2055/ ( I use alphamap because i believe it is better then map coordinates, as you are free to move around without interruption while using alphamap, so its just like using the regular map with coords, but it doesnt cover up your whole screen and you can lower the opacity of it to make it see-through.

EDIT: Made a non-coords guide! Scroll down :D

V

If you are too lazy or don't want to use coords (you're missing out!):

Metzen guide without coords:

1. Fly to Searing Gorge (to Thorium Point), or walk if you don't have the FP to Thorium Point yet. IF you do have the FP: Head east of thorium point making your way around the cauldron, (careful not to fall into it!) until you reach the camp with metzen!

Alliance Walk: Go to IF, walk to the pass that leads to wetlands, Go through it, you'll reach wetlands, go to badlands, use the path next to kargath (horde town) leading to Searing Gorge (i'm not sure if you can use the stonewrought pass from loch modan or if its blocked off, but if you can, use it.

If you can use the stonewrought pass: go from loch modan to searing gorge using the tunnel stonewrought pass, when you reach searing gorge, follow the road south untill there is a split of roads, take the one !NOT! leading south more, follow it and you should reach the camp with the reindeer.

if you cant: Continue through the pass next to kargath till you reach searing gorge, head north up the first road you see, when it splits follow the road not leading north, and then follow it till you reach the dwarven camp.

Horde walk: fly to kargath, if you dont have the fp there just walk to badlands using the redridge mountains pass. Then use the same pass that leads to searing gorge that the alliance use if they cant go through stonewrought path (the one right next to kargath), go north until you reach a road that does not lead north, take it till you reach a dwarven camp, free metzen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stolen Winter Veil without coords guide:

1. Fly to Tarren Mill if your horde, Southshore if your alliance.

Horde: Take the road north into the Alterac Mountains, follow it north till you reach the snowy area, dont take either roads that make the fork, instead, go off the road and head west untill you reach the growless cave, head south of the cave untill you reach three trees cramped together, in between them is a 'Strange Snowman' talk to him, finish the quest. Now, if you think you can take a 36 elite head north to the ruins of alterac, and then head west of it, over a big wall (which you can sneak around) to a large flat area, spam /target The Abominable Greench or just look for him manually (he is a larger-then-normal gray yeti)

Alliance: Take the road north out of the town, and then east, untill you reach another road going north, take it, this is the same road the horde use to get to alterac, so just continue on using the horde guide from here.

follow it north till you reach the snowy area, dont take either roads that make the fork, instead, go off the road and head west untill you reach the growless cave, head south of the cave untill you reach three trees cramped together, in between them is a 'Strange Snowman' talk to him, finish the quest. Now, if you think you can take a 36 elite head north to the ruins of alterac, and then head west of it, over a big wall (which you can sneak around) to a large flat area, spam /target The Abominable Greench or just look for him manually (he is a larger-then-normal gray yeti)

I am an alliance and do not have the FP to Southshore: take the path from wetlands to arathi highlands, and then west to hillsbrad foothills. Follow the road west (do not take the first road leading north you see, as it leads to Durneholde Keep) take the second road north and continue on.

this is the same road the horde use to get to alterac, so just continue on using the horde guide from here.
follow it north till you reach the snowy area, dont take either roads that make the fork, instead, go off the road and head west untill you reach the growless cave, head south of the cave untill you reach three trees cramped together, in between them is a 'Strange Snowman' talk to him, finish the quest. Now, if you think you can take a 36 elite head north to the ruins of alterac, and then head west of it, over a big wall (which you can sneak around) to a large flat area, spam /target The Abominable Greench or just look for him manually (he is a larger-then-normal gray yeti)

I am a horde and dont have the FP to Tarren Mill:
Easy, Go from Undercity to Silverpine Forest to Hillsbrad. Follow the road west from Silverpine Forest leading into Hillsbrad untill you reach the second road that leads north that you see, dont take the first, it leads to Hillsbrad fields. The second road...

this is the same road the horde use to get to alterac *from tarren mill*, so just continue on using the horde guide from here.
follow it north till you reach the snowy area, dont take either roads that make the fork, instead, go off the road and head west untill you reach the growless cave, head south of the cave untill you reach three trees cramped together, in between them is a 'Strange Snowman' talk to him, finish the quest. Now, if you think you can take a 36 elite head north to the ruins of alterac, and then head west of it, over a big wall (which you can sneak around) to a large flat area, spam /target The Abominable Greench or just look for him manually (he is a larger-then-normal gray yeti)

End-Notes:

I'm sorry if the non-coords guide is sort of cramped and some parts may be hard to understand, I made this non-coords guide at night and I was-am extremely tired, so you would be better off using the coords guide, as it is easier to understand and it will take shorter to find the destinations. Hopefully you have the fps to thorium point and southshore or tarren mill, as it will make this all the easier for you. P.S. I am also sorry about the stonewrought pass incident, i've never used that pass before, so i'm not sure if you can or not.

You'll regret not getting the coordinates mod sooner or later, so why not download it now?

http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/2055/

Cheers! Hope you enjoy and make full use of the guide.

If you are doing the quest in Tanaris there is a place with a ton of Southsea pirates. Go into the fenced area. Go toward themiddle camp, the one where you did the quest for the guy named Andra Firebeard. Behind him as a group of what looks to be about 7 pirate kidnappers. Kill them and in the little hut is the reindeer. If you find Andre Firebeard look directly behind him and you will find the reindeer you need.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Went to Tanaris as a 42 hunter and just followed the crowd of Allies and Horde to the beast. I had figured on dying a couple of times but the camp was one big kill fest with a continuous stream of players coming and going. Everyone from both factions was covering each others back. The reindeer spawns immediately.

Did it after dinner - about 7:00 PM EST on a Saturday night.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He is at 67,34 in Searing Gorge.

Surrounded by 5-6 mid lvl 45 dwarfs. At lvl 60 it was a piece of cake.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just walk right in, every pirate was dead over there, talked to metzen, en used my heartstone to get out

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He is both at 67,34 in Searing Gorge, and at 73,47 in Tanaris. both "guards" are around lvl 45.

the unknown reward is 5 pieces of a treat that makes your mount look like a reindeer (use the item when mounted).

the reward is limited to five though, and dispells when unmounted. however, they can probably be used when you want (even after winter is over).

you can get more of this kind by /kiss to someone below a mistel (do it on another player and they'll get a nice spirit buff) and you will recieve a gift. this random gift can also have 5 of what this quest reward is, but then it has a "most be usable within 7 days" limit. so save your quest reward! :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

In Tanaris the reindeer is located inside the southshore compound, they made wooden stable for him, that is easy to notice.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where can you get the dust from?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

easy as hell quest took me 5 mins for the flight but took me about 2 secs to rescue him , easy at 70

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found a Reindeer Mount on the WoW item database. It was a blue mount. It was not written where it drops.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not to be greedy about location, but how about a non co-ordinate description of the locations?
pls and tyVVm

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Help I can free the sucker.... he just looks at me in a sad way when i click himl.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You have to dismount before this quest give you credit.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Who gives this quest? Grandfather?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have the dust and talk to the reindeer in Tanaris, it shows he is freed but my log doesn't update. I go back to Ogr to talk to quest giver and nothing. What the balls?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As a warning do not click on the bag before you reach the reindeer. I did this right before I hit Metzen in Tanaris. So unless you're looking for a nice run back to the city to get the quest again, don't click on the bag.

Also, in Tanaris the reindeer is straght ahead when first entering. He's under an overhang against a building. He's kind of hard to see since he blends in. Just search for the kidnappers and he'll be right next to them.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I soloed this in the Gorge with a level 42 Tauren Hunter. I made my pet run around them and make them run after it as I snuk to Metzen and freed it. The kidnappers weren't happy as they found out what I had done and killed me. I still comleted th quest, though.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Oh, this quest is not horde only, I did this with my ally toon by runnning into orgrimmar on mount, ice block while talking to guy, (frost armor already on), and running out of the town. Then I did the quest, and repeated procedure to turn in quest. 5x preserved holly.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you're at 300 cooking skill you can get the quest The Hero of the Day after doing this one to trade 1 deeprock salt and 5g for 5 Preserved Holly that doesn't go bad. The machine in ironforge is behind the goblin's cart.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I, 51 rogue, stealthed to the reindeer, hes in a stable, freed him, stealthed out. Didn't need to kill 1 single mob. Found him on 73,48 exactly.
