This is one of those escort quests, and it's a long one. To complicate matters, Gilthares likes to initiate combat.

Couple of things to note: 1) As with other escort quests, there are occasions where mobs don't attack. They'll just follow along behind for awhile. This can save you the trouble of killing them, however, if the escortee stops (such as for an 'ambush' or to fight a different mob), the ones following will attack. 2) There are no ambushes on this escort quest, there won't be a time where 2 or 3 come out of nowhere. However, you will need to clear away pretty much everything between Northwatch and Ratchet.

If someone has already started the quest, Gilthares will not be sitting in the bottom of the tower as he normally would be doing. If you want to accept this quest and he isn't there, you'll have to wait until the other party finishes the quest before he will respawn and allow you to accept it.

If you want to save yourself a lot of headache, clear out the area around the blacksmith before you accept the quest. He is very agressive, and the icky humans run away at 20% health.

评论来自 WithFieryTruth

Beware of any Alliance in the area, because they can kill the NPC. I was almost done with the quest (after already having to wait for respawn once after the guy pulled too many mobs) when a damn high-level Human Paladin shows up and one-shots Gilthares. I seriously wanted to punch him in the face IRL.

He has a very long respawn time. Doesn't help either if people take a long time to do the escort itself. Friends and I had to wait almost 35minutes from after the previous guy started it.

评论来自 Hinahina

If you wear cloth, SKIP IT. There is NOTHING to benefit from this quest besides EXP you can easily make up. Usually I try to do every quest but this one is honestly a killer, especially since respawns are on steroids and happening so quickly. This quest is NOT worth solo'ing, come back for rep gains later, I guess.

he is slower than molases on a snowy morning!

Biggest key if you're not preclearing, keep him healed and let him lead.

If you start fighting or casting before he does, he likes to walk right by the group now running toward you and will pull the next group, guaranteeing failure. Use focus targeting to keep an eye on his health, he won't last more than a minute in combat on his own. Pull aggro off him if you can, to pull them toward you, because everything runs at low health. If you don't have heals, high burst or a way to stop runners, this is gonna get rough. He doesn't stop till he's outside, so bring mana pots if you have them.

once your outside the hold though, the trip to ratchet is long, but really easy.

Just skip it. I'm a 21 warrior and killed everything easily, but the walk to Ratchet made me so annoyed that I didn't want to play for the rest of the night. He aggroed every single level 11-12 pirate on the shore that was within a 30 yard radius because he just had to run up to them and punch them. Not worth the time at all. I started the quest at 6:11:12 and finished it at 6:28:50.

Save yourself alot of time and headache pills, cause this is one of those quests that should've stayed on the drawing board. The mobs tend to respawn REALLY fast. They run away REALLY fast when they're about to die. The marines LOVE to use Disarm (murder for you if your a rogue, shaman or warrior). The preservers LOVE to use a 60+ damage Smite & their stupid Renew heals them for ALOT. Plus, the idiot your escorting loves to run into groups of mobs, then runs into another groups!

In Lamens terms, DONT DO IT!

Counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor. So you 80's out there, bite the bullet and do this escort!

'Nice', Bob the newb thought when he saw an exclamation mark appear on his minimap, 'there is a quest over there.' Little did he know about all the pain and suffering that awaited him. After clearing the room and accepting the quest he already got a bad feeling, but being a newb, he ignored it, and waited until Gilthares finally arrived at the 2 mobs our impatient Bob already was killing. However, he didnt expect such a speed from the NPC when Gilthares ran towards the next pack while screaming he was getting attacked and really needed help. After the corpse run he decided to try it a again, with a bit smarter pulls. So he waited for the respawn of the NPC. Which took 2 kills of the respawns of the mobs guarding him in the room. Bob was about to give up on the quest, just as the NPC reappeared. He safely managed to escort Gilthares out of the hold. However, just when passing through the pirate camps a night elf hunter passes by and kills Gilthares. Screaming with frustration, Bob swears to complete the quest. After a few tries he manages to get out of the hold again and decides to quickly get a drink, since Gilthares seams to be cripple. He just returns in time to see Gilthares screaming something about being attacked while running into a pack of 5 pirates to get slaughtered mercilessly. Bob lets out another scream and doesnt touch WoW for the next few days, because of the anger and hate still inside of him after attempting this quest.

Yes, this actually happened to me. No, I'm not called Bob.

Not that hard as a level 17 druid with 5/5 Furor and 3/5 Naturalist. I really don't think any other class is good for it at this level, casters and melee get royally screwed, with the spell interruptions and disarms. Anyway, make sure to clear all the packs on the closest side of the blacksmith to the path coming down from where you will escort Gilthares. Don't bother with patrols, they respawn within literally 30 seconds. You have to clear the two mobs outside the tower, throw regrowth and rejuve on yourself and then take all 4 mobs inside the tower. Obviously, focus the Preserver first and while doing this, talk to Gilthares to start the quest. Make sure you bring mana and health pots, though I didn't need them. The entire quest took me around 25 minutes (it really isn't worth it) but after seeing all the whine posts above, I just had to do it. :p

Also, yes, the alliance probably will be a pain. Luckily for me, I did this between 4:30 and 5am. No alliance in sight.

评论来自 Cotytto

You Alliance people that one shot this guy are the lowest form of scum imaginable!This quest is a pain enough as it is,you just make it unbearable!

A crappy level 53 Alliance shammy just had to kill this guy right outside Ratchet!
On my lowbie druid at 4 am in the friggin morning at the time!

I feel better now that I've vented.

As said by others skip it if at all possible,unless you are just trying to get every quest in for an achievement.Rewards stink,mobs respawn quickly and run away far too fast.He walks slower than you can.He aggros everything.And as evidenced by my venting and the others "whine",any Alliance will go out of their way to screw you up.Plus it doesn't even flag them,which is utter BS.

Just not worth it.

评论来自 309204

Ugh. I worked on this quest for probably ten or fifteen minutes, and even cleared a few of the Northwatch mobs at the bottom of the hill before I started the quest. The Theramore marines were a piece of cake- it was when we got to the pirate camp that Gilthares proved to be dead weight. Baron Longshore was at the first camp we came to, and Gilthares just had to get *everyone* involved. Almost finished that fight when he went down- after spending awhile on that quest, my heart sank when he died. I refused to go back and finish. This is the very reason I hate escort quests to my core.

评论来自 Khorrupt

Somehow he knows the names of every NPC he comes across.

"Southsea Brigand coming right at us!"
"Tazan heading this way fast! Time for revenge!"

评论来自 zair99

Ugh, one of the worst quests in WoW. I'm adding my vote to not even bother. This quest isn't worth it.

评论来自 TorachiKatashi

Is there any way to finish this quest? Every single time, I have some spiteful Alliance player come through when I'm literally 95% finished and one-shot the NPC on me. God, apparently Blizz doesn't want to make money, the way they enable and encourage the higher-level players to ruin the game and chase off the lower-level newbies. I don't know what they plan to do when all of the sudden, they can't get any new players to join because they've rightfully earned the reputation of being such a negative game.

评论来自 Yewb

This quest is annoying, but I managed it first try fairly easily on a level 23 shaman (as my first character). It's not too bad as long as you worry about killing whatever he's decided to aggro before whatever happens to be attacking you.

He will aggro absolutely everything within a 50 yard radius, though.

评论来自 441563

pretty hard but soloable for a lvl 19 enh sham you have to kill like 3 mobs at once and you barely get a chance to heal. if you get a chance pull one guy at a time with wind shear since it only causes a little threat. gilthares seems to love aggroing mobs so it can get a little hairy.

hope this helps

评论来自 442307

I'ts really hard, while I kill everyone, and then go for this elf, they already respawn... I advise to do this in group, because it's extremely hard to deal with lots of dudes at once by alone. Never did it alone xD.

评论来自 Ovplain

Easy with a level 20 Shaman. Still it was annoying as hell due to the fact that you actually have to take him all the way through Ratchet.:/ Felt like forever.

评论来自 296787

Soloed with a lvl 17, dinged 18, hunter. -.- I preempted him only because I've done this quest before on many of my toons. Killed everything before, and I swear! It was only a minute after I started the quest, and had the killed mobs at the bottom of the ramp at his tower... all the BS mobs had respawned! 2-minute respawn timer for the mobs, easily.

But yeah, he's one angry deckhand. Easy (but annoying) if you can handle preempting him; I ran ahead of him the entire time. This allowed me to eat and drink if needed, and hope he might walk a bit quicker...

评论来自 metallikop

Did this quest at level 80 while trying to gain The Seeker title and grind to exalted with the Steamwheedle Cartel. I can one shot every mob between the starting point and Ratchet and the quest took exactly 10:06 without Gilthares ever stopping to fight. Consider that for 1950 experience and an absolute best time of 10:06 you're better off grinding mobs or going for other quests then wasting time on this one.

评论来自 229431

after playing wow for 2 years and attempting this quest on every toon since i started, i finally got it done right now. The reason i did it is because its almost 2k exp (the wailing caverns quests in ratchet dont give that much). The only thing that has ever got me here is not the mobs, but the darn alliance. Worth it depends on how you think. grabbing the 2 WC quests in ratchet, and going to the wc entrance to complete / run back takes longer than this , and rewards less.

as for a tip for npc's , you can get way ahead of this guy long as you kill fast enough that he will never go attack stuff. soon as you start the quest take off and kill anything and everythign in the way as fast as possible. i did this as a 19hunter(using ravager pet) and he only ever went to attack anything 3 times during the entire trip. just get way ahead of the guy

评论来自 techkyle

As a 22 hunter, it took me about 15 minutes with most of the mobs cleared for him. If you can, try going slightly out of "You're fighting something, so I'll assist you" range and kill things before he has a chance to "help". This won't interrupt his walking and should help you complete this quest slightly faster.

..that is, of course, if you bother to do this quest at all. The quest rewards are not at all worth it, in my opinion.

评论来自 28464

Most ironic quote of the whole quest: "Almost back to Ratchet! Let's keep up the pace..."

WHAT pace?

评论来自 Sebreth

This quest is downright evil to we rogues... I'm typing this as I wait out his respawn time for the third time.

评论来自 TorachiKatashi

You know those little dogs in the dog park who run up and start fights with much larger dogs as though they stand a chance?

That's this guy.

Keep a close eye on him, especially if you run ahead to clear mobs. He has a horrible habit of suddenly darting off to the side towards a mob you didn't think could possibly be close enough to aggro him.

评论来自 CallistaZM

On the bright side....he's very cute :D

评论来自 13769

the SOB just decided to pull 6 mobs right outside of rachet and of course died...... f this quest

评论来自 Thottbot

This quest is a pain. Once he's out of the hold, he has to walk through the pirates, but instead of just walking by them he charges every one. And he enjoys taking out entire camps. I was a 23 priest and he still died after aggroing a camp of 5 or 6 pirates. He's one sucky tank.

评论来自 Thottbot

This quest takes atleast 20 minutes since he walks so slow the whole way and you have to kill like 50 pirates and atleast 15-20 theramore guys all for like 1850 exp. You could get much more exp faster just grinding or doing different quests.

评论来自 Thottbot

Can anyone tell me where he is?
i�ve been looking for him a while now and would appreaciate an answer as soon as possible :D

thx

评论来自 Thottbot

He's in a tower in the Northwatch Hold on the ground floor. I believe it is the second tower, you can't miss him.

评论来自 Thottbot

It's not like this is a hard quest or anything, but I've tried it twice and both times he's just mysteriously faded away. I don't think he's dying or anything either...
Any help?

评论来自 Thottbot

i had the same problem. i made it through northwatch and most of the pirate camp and then he just faded away. i waited a bit but he didn't show up again. i also tried talking to Brightsun to complete the quest but that didn't work either. please don't tell me i have to go all the way back and start over. this quest was annoying.

评论来自 Thottbot

I had the same problem today, which is weird since i have done this quest about five times on different characters and it has never bugged for me before. The spot where he disappeared was about halfway through the pirate camp, in front of the tent at about 63,46.

评论来自 Thottbot

he mentions to stay close. there are a lot of escort quests out there that if you get to far away, they'll fail out. This is probably one of them.

评论来自 Thottbot

I did this quest as a 20 druid with a 21 pally. All i did was heal while he aggroed and killed all the guys. Piece of cake.

评论来自 Thottbot

The questgiver is in the tower where Cannoneer Whessan: 63,57 so do it together with "The Guns of Northwatch"
You'll see him as you enter in the tower.

To solo you need to be 22-23 with a pet, or bring 2-3 friends:
this guy aggro's everything that moves, pulls 4-5 mobs, ones you run to help he will attack a new one, and he is the worst tank ever: takes fistfight against 4-5 swords :-))
Than of course he is about to die, cries for help - and it is a long walk through the pirate camps.

So there is no bug, he just dies after getting beaten up by the 5 mobs he pulled on himself.
Keep an eye on him.

评论来自 Thottbot

is it possible to do this quest over if you have failed it?

评论来自 Thottbot

Ez as a lv20 Druid, don't let him get the arggo, just start clearing anything b4 he arggo, u can prob. pull 2~3 back n let him assist u. This will make ur life easier rather he arggo the whole grp.

评论来自 Thottbot

lol this quest isn't THAT hard...failed it once cuz he died, didn't pay enough attn to his health. Second try (as a lvl 19 hunter with crappy gear), I just got proactive...I attacked mobs that I could see he would aggro BEFORE he aggroed them. In that way, he was just a bit of extra dps instead of me having to save his butt every fight.

It's a pain since he NEVER runs, even when danger is past, but it's easy...just strike before he does.

评论来自 Thottbot

This quest is a pain. failed the first time because i wasn't paying attention and the second time a 32 gnome warrior and kills him! but then gos on to kill pirates... but anyway if he can hit something he will no matter what it is, so do a good job of protecting him or don't do the quest at all.

评论来自 Thottbot

Quest is freaking easy! Me a 16 orc hunter along with a 17 orc hunter and a 17 priest did this quest so easy But we were lucky cuz all these level 16s+ were heading to the hold and were taking them out for us kinda funny when he escapes he goes SCREW U with his hands >=)

评论来自 Thottbot

I've done this quest before a couple times (it's part of the guide I use) yet the Blood Elf isn't in the tower this time...go figure?

Server is Illidan btw

评论来自 Thottbot

Dont bother wasting your time with this quest, I'm a 19 Druid, kept him alive out of the fort fine, got past a few camps, and then he decided to go and attack a mob of 3-5 pirates, and when I went to assist him, he ran away and agroed 4 more pirates making it impossible for me to heal him because of the agro on me, and the amount of DPS on him, its not worth the frustration or time, I can think of 10 other better things to do with my time other then this.

评论来自 Thottbot

I wish Blizzard had a warning message if you were getting too far instead of just issuing a failure.

I did this with a 14 Druid last night in a group with 2 16 rogues and an 18 mage. We got through all of the mobs and all the way back to Ratchet. I ran ahead to scout - nobody left between us and victory. Suddenly, I got a failure, but the other three in my group all succeeded. After many deaths/group wipes throughout the Northwatch quest, I lost this final benefit of XP, equipment, and honor for taking a step or two out of his range while the rest of my party was right by his side. it totally sucked, and now I have to find a new group to go back to do it...again, or just give up.

评论来自 Thottbot

The NPC that you're escorting, Gilthares Firebough, is REALLY #$%^ing creepy, you're escorting him and he will yell things such as "Help! Get this Southsea Cannoneer off me!" he'll then make a sharp turn and run straight into a camp of pirates and start attacking one. What a mental case!

评论来自 Thottbot

i did this quest as a lvl 19 druid with only uncommon gear(not rare)i had to kill a whole camp so he wont aggro them. it is sort of easy for me, but it SOOOOOOOOOOOO long, like about almost 10 min. only reason i did this becuse of the Bukled Boots. (+ 4 stamina, + 2 intellect, and + 1 spirit. when i saw him he was in the tower, i found him easily.

评论来自 Thottbot

As most have stated, this quest sucks shi*t. Not only are you saving a blood elf (who cares, let him rot), but this isn't like most escort quests where you just escort them a short distance, fight off a few mobs, then the person you rescued will say something like "thank goodness I'm out of there! I can find my way back alone!". Nope. You have to escort him from northwatch hold ALL THE WAY BACK TO RATCHET. And he walks. And insists on engaging 75-80% of the mobs along the way, even ones you could walk by without aggroing.

Halfway through the quest I wanted to kill the guy myself.

The quest rewards were not upgrades for me (21 hunter), and I guess the only redeeming thing was the 350 rep for ratchet.

If you want to do this quest, make sure you finish what you're doing at northwatch hold first, then do this on your way out.

Annoying quest. Takes 25 minutes.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Very nice xp if somewhat time consuming. Great to do right after the guns quest.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Is this quest now broken or am I missing somthing to make him start walking out?

评论来自 Allakhazam

I'm thinking he might be bugged. He definitely aggroed on the Theramore Marines and Preservers, and his health definitely drops. This is post patch 1.10, so maybe they tweaked some of his settings. Anyway I was a 21 lvl Priest, and seeing as how I just soloed the Guns of Northwatch, I thought I'd try to solo this one too. Things were going pretty well, until he aggroed 3 Marine in the middle of me fighting another Marine and Preserver. I was still hanging on, but when he got to around 25% health, I tried to heal him, only to discover that you CANT'T! Renew, Flash Heal, Heal all say "Invalid Target". Needless to say, he died and I failed the quest. Very lame! Guess I'll try again when I have a group or when I get higher.

评论来自 Allakhazam

This was one of those really annoying quests I should have just abandoned or something. Why do these 'people' beg us to help them escape their captors and then walk so stinking slow? Not only does he walk slow, but once you get out of the hold, he stops 'for a breath of fresh air' or some such bs! Then he strolls back to town, while you tap your foot or try to heckle him into going faster! I'd have liked to get my pet to chase him to town, but can't do that either.

Thanks for letting me rant.

评论来自 Allakhazam

just did this quest with a firend, he got 1500exp and was lvl13

NOT worth it for a 20min eskort q
edit: even had to do it twice :p since he ran away the first time and lost the quest like 20yards from ratchet

Where is this guy? I have cleared the nortwatch hold, two times now.. Nothing

评论来自 Allakhazam

Gilthares spawns in the ground level of the first tower...it's obvious where, as his restraining chains and a pile of straw are laying on the ground in a recess. If a group is doing the qwest I highly advise sharing it immediately upon triggering it.
No one in my full group completed the quest; all of us were completing the Guns of Northwatch quest, upon arrival at the quest giver in Ratchet, <that> quest completed but not the escort quest. (Gilthares despawned) I repeated the escort quest later on and it concluded properly for 2050 exp (as I recall) at level 22..so the 4950 exp listed is highly overrated.
Last but not least >YES< Gilthares attacks any soldier, any pirate, that gets within range, no matter how many there are. He holds his own in combat, but clear the path out as best you can.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Nothing will aggro on Gilthares and he doesn't aggro on the Theramore humans, but he will aggro on the pirates. You do NOT need to clear his path out of the keep, only your own path so that you can get out. Stay relatively close to him at all times, we had a couple in our group fail because they were too far ahead clearing pirates. Success is not based on the group though, so individual members of the group can fail and the rest can still succeed.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Another easy quest here. I cleared my way out and Firebough attacked everything I attacked. I thought we was going to die but he seemed tough. I was thinking I needed to break out the first aid but he didn't lose any health at all. Clearing the path was easy and I still had time to loot each mob I/we killed. Kinda funny the way this one was done. He walks slow as hell then when I attacked a mob with my pet he's lighting fast. Once the mob drops he runs back to his spot where he started running from and then starts walking at a slow pace again.

My results:
You gain 1950 experience.
Your reputation with Ratchet has greatly increased.
Received 25 Silver.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I have done this quest in beta, tried it now, but he wont start to walk. oO
i logged out and restarted the quest several times but nothing works.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Don't start, I say - DON'T start this quest until You finish first the one with the towers and captain.
This is VERY long escort, he slowly walks ALL the way to Ratchet. While fighting lvl 17 Marines seems reasonable (area where You find him), fighting lvl 13 Freebooty pirates isn't .
That's damn too long quest with crap rewards.

Maybe I'm blind, but where is this guy?

评论来自 Allakhazam

He does agro the Theramore humans.

评论来自 bofe112

I believe NPC spawn timer is about 18 minutes and quest takes about 12 minutes.

Atleast for me, the previous group accepted the quest at 13:42:15 ST, we accepted the quest at 15:00:03 (waited a bit for everyone to accept) and we completed the quest at 14:12:15. Spawn timer might be effected from the previous group's speed.

I believe only one person needs to get the quest, I didn't accept the quest but when someone in our group accepted it and started it a pop-up came for me and I got the quest from that pop-up. However, some other guy who accepted the quest from the NPC was not able to give in, only the guy who started the quest (I mean the walk) and the people who accepted the quest from from the pop-up was able to turn in. This might be a bug tho.

评论来自 futureclint

While you can get a group for this to make it easier, I figured a way to solo it very easily on my level 22 warlock. Basically follow the NPC and let him decide who to attack, let him pull, then immediately take aggro off of him. This worked flawlessly all the way through. The hardest part was the beginning with the blacksmith and gate. Once you get past the gate it is very easy the rest of the way but it will take awhile to finish. It might have been easier for me because I could just have my voidwalker just tank for him, so your mileage may vary. Just don't let him have any aggro so he doesn't take damage.

评论来自 Miadog

Another very slow walking escort quest. Love the line though- as you finally finish the pirate coast area he says "Almost back to Ratchet! Let's keep up the pace".

评论来自 opusaug

This has got to be the longest escort quest in the game. Make sure you have at least a half-hour to kill. (Bad pun, but I had to say it.)

评论来自 Darthias

To anyone who says this NPC is NOT flagged for PvP are plainly wrong.

Spent about 10 mins escorting him out of the hold only for him to be one-shotted by an Alliance Death Knight.

评论来自 LoKHor

Finish 北方城堡的火炮 before starting this! It's a very long quest and you will have to go all the way back from Ratchet to finish the other one.

评论来自 Shailkkith

It respawned 18 minutes, 30 seconds after the previous group accepted it.

评论来自 Smindigo

I'm not sure why, I didn't stray too far from him and I was the one to accept the quest but I got zero credit for escorting him all the way, the other 4 in my party got credit.
