Kommentar von Xodus59

The entrance to the cave is at 52.8, 76.2

When you put down the banner it will summon a level 41 mob that you must kill. Easy.

Kommentar von 98472

This quest can become bugged. If someone attempts it and dies to the mob then leaves, the mob won't despawn, can't be attacked by other players, and blocks any attempt by other players to spawn the mob and do the quest.

Kommentar von phaluss

still a little bugy i cant get smolderwing to let me pick up any loot after iv killed it and when first summoned he just hung out inside cave for a min

Kommentar von 105816

This quest was really easy! I did it with my lvl 40 Retribution Paladin.
Just go down east, and you will see an area with a lot of Dragonkins. They are around lvl 40-42, but are really easy kills!
Go to the cave formed as a Dragon (Its showed on your map) and plant the banner. An level 41 Dragonkin will apear. This one is also an easy kill..

One of the easiet, and best rewarded quest I have done in a long time. :P

Kommentar von 104527

You don't have to actually open up the cave and go inside (you can't get into the instance in any event) -- just stand on the "tongue" to plant the banner. If you get too close to the door, it'll complain...

You also have to wait for the spawn to finish telling you about how wonderful he is.

Kommentar von 97259

"Brogg suspected Onyxia would be too much of a coward to confront you. Just like black dragonflight to attack when victory is guaranteed."
Rofl... Onyxia would kill us on about 0.10 sec, and would rape that town in almost the same.

Kommentar von 49915

Agreed. Really easy quest to do. Did as a 39 MM NE Hunter. Coords are exact.

Kommentar von 120287

this qyest is so messed up can someone tll me how i can do it plzz coz iv tryed everythink that i can do

Kommentar von 120665

Most fire mages will know this by now, but just be careful. Don't try any tricks with this last quest. Remember the mob will spawn, and clear out the area first. More than 2 of these fire resistant guys, and you can find yourself in a surprising amount of trouble, regardless of your level.

Other than that, it IS an easy quest. Good luck.

Kommentar von 64664

I planted the banner and trapped myself inside it.
Then some mob showed up, which i couldn't see...but could easily kill it anyway.
Just too bad that the quest was bugged and i wasn't able to move.
Had to HS to town, however the banner probably despawns in a few minutes as well.

Kommentar von StubMcBean

The Dragonkin that appears is Smolderwing (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=23789) - like everyone said before, lvl 41 easy kill (only 1,500hp). No bug for me, just planted the banner at the base of the ramp and moved up toward the entrance to try to get him from behind with a backstab. Unfortunately, after he's done talking and transitions to melee, he's instantly turned to face you, so no sneak attack - just have to take him head on.

Kommentar von 132711

I just planned the banner and he apears..But I have a little problem,I could not atack him..Is it bug or what ?

Kommentar von Catalyze

Brogg offers 5 quests. I had to do 3 of them to get offered Spirits of Stonemaul Hold and the follow up which is this one. I was a 35 when I first got a quest from him so just do all he offers and you will eventually get this one.

Kommentar von 136162

EASY! i did it in lvl 40. im a prot. pala w. 1991 hp. i lost about 10%!!!

Kommentar von kimsey0

The entrance is at precisely 56.5, 71.3.

Kommentar von 142549

bugged for me, someone failed at killing the lvl 41 and now we cant touch it. eh.

on the other hand.. its great being back at onyxias!

Kommentar von Zido

very easy quest, free exp :D

Kommentar von lectrick

it's sad but even with two 70's, this is the first time I've set foot near onyxia's lair with any toon (37 druid). I was like, oh, that's where it is... I was never in a guild that stayed together long enough to raid it much. They should tune it down to a 10 or 20 man for 70's who want to see the content... But who wants to collect all that FR gear...

Kommentar von Tanae

Just did this quest, wasnt bugged for me and easy enough at lvl 42, Paladin.

Kommentar von Puffmommy

Like Moenbase said, be careful where u place the banner ... I also got stuck in it, couldn't hit Smolderwing and thus couldn't loot it (pet took care of him tho). Could be my troll mohawk getting in the way --:) .

Suggest maybe u plant as far back from the stone entry as possible .. ?

Kommentar von 55495

bugged... isnt attackable

Kommentar von 150237

I've tried placing the banner several times on my gnome rogue, mob didn't even show up. Which is kind of a shame, because I want Brogg's Battle Harness. Oh well. Be warned that although the reward is great, don't be surprised if you get cheated by bugs on this quest. Good luck.

Kommentar von Stivius

I had the same problem as several above, mob was bugged unattackable, but if you really want those rewards, and don't wanna wait for a server reset, open up a GM Ticket.

A GM despawned the buggy one for me so i could summon it properly and get my nice reward / xp.

Kommentar von 154812

at first i thought was bugged but he toys around with you and you have to wait for him to attack you took like a minute until he went after me on my lvl 39 Orc Rogue but taking him down was easy

Kommentar von 53205

Maybe I'm crazy, but challenging Onyxia and waiting for her response just sounds like a bad idea.

Kommentar von 148079

I had a little difficuty placing the banner at first... you need to be closer to the "end" of the tongue and not the entrance itself. A strong word of caution if you are doing this solo, like I did - the outer area is guarded pretty hevily by lvl 40/41 dragonkin. If you can stealth past them, get into the enrtrance then turn around and creep out until you can place the banner. This should get you a 1-on-1 fight with the lvl 41 dragon without worrying about adds. If you can't stealth then you may have a battle getting to the entrance itself - just make sure you clear a path so you don't end up fighting 2-4 mobs at once rather than 1.

If you can get the dragon 1-1 then it's not bad... good xp, although I wish I could loot/skin the damned thing, and a pretty reward when you're done. So far this is one of the most rewarding and easiest (as a lvl 39 feral druid) I have done yet.

Kommentar von 138837

I couldn't get this to work. Tried clearing the area several times and replanting the banner, but to no avail. Must have planted the banner a half a dozen times and nothing.

EDIT: Filed an in-game complaint ticket with a GM, went back after an hour or so, and everything worked properly. Don't fear the beast! My lvl42 Shammy's whirlwinds sucked him in faster than a double-wide in a tornado.

Kommentar von Angelcrusher

Smolderwing is still bugged as July 17, 2008. Apparently, someone attempted this and died, leaving Smolderwing as an "Invalid Target". Just opened a GM ticket, will edit comment with proceedings.

BTW, I'm currently standing at exactly (on the 'tongue'/ramp of the cave) and able to plant the banner.

Kommentar von McPoowl

Just did it, with no problems whatsoever, guess I was lucky with my timing. Easy quest, great reward ( although the equipment isn't really that good for a shaman ;) )

Kommentar von 177119

when i first did the quest i thought it was bugged cuz it kept on saying requires onyxia's lair so stupid as i was i passed the tounge of the entrance so when u get there don't pass its tounge just go back a few yards then use other than that it will complain have fun ^^ careful if ur alone lots of mobs around and aggro is easy if ur lvl 40 below and its not bugged cuz i just did it and alot of xp i did it at lvl 38 so its pretty easy nothing to worry about :D

Kommentar von 178017

I'm sure you have all seen the little comics about the quest mosters that get killed, but today proved them right. Smolderwing was bugged, so I put in a GM ticket. Well, by the time he despawned, there were 3 of us waiting on him. Was funny watching him get summoned 3 times, make the same boasts 3 times, and each time he died in under 15 seconds. I laughed my @ss off, because it brought those comics to mind. Kind of felt sorry for ol' Smolderwing...

Kommentar von Avalonia

If you stealth while he is still speaking he bugs out as well.

Kommentar von 85166

i had bug with this quest and open a ticket,a GM help me reset that quest

Kommentar von 204878

I solo'd as a lvl 41 mage, killed the 2 dragonskins outside, placed the flag on the tongue and fought Smolderwing, no problems and no bugs.

Kommentar von 55495

bugged... isnt attackable.. i had to call gm to fix it... so if you want to wait 10-20mins for this go ahead.

Kommentar von 282310

guys the quest work just i have make like 1 min aggo :D i am 36 lvl feral druid .. was easy :) have fun

Kommentar von 123824

Still bugged. Can't plant the flag from the outside edge of the entrance to the instance itself.

Kommentar von shazi

Am i the only person to find it rather funny, to see a single ogre taking on Onyxia?
And when she just ignores him, him saying: "Brogg suspected Onyxia would be too much of a coward to confront you"? Im sure happy she did ignore it ^^

Kommentar von 332273

As 3.0.9 it seems as not bugged, no need to enter the cave too. At least for me.

Kommentar von 367398

Ok I went to help a friend with this q. He invited me and changed to a raid group, thinking we needed to go into Onyxia's lair. We quickly realised that it was outside so went to do the q. After killing him 7 times and no result we realised that we were still in a raid group.
If you are silly like us and start a raid group, you will not be able to complete this q. Make sure you are in a normal group.
After realising we just changed to normal group and got q first time.

Hope this helps.

Kommentar von 339106

With Onyxia being a new raid boss, your best shot to do this quest would be early in the morning or really late at night.

Kommentar von Thottbot

just did this one on my alt, it wasnt bugged just have to be farther away from onys gate for it to work, a dragon spwnd (lvl 41) and burnd the banner, killd the dragon , quest complete

-liane server

Kommentar von Thottbot

Plant flag outside entrance to Onyxia's Lair at 52,75. You have to be on the dirt to plant it, not at the instance entrance, itself. A dragon will come out, flap it's wings, burn the flag, and attack. The dragon is no tougher than any of the mobs you have to deal with on your way there. I've done this twice on Hydraxis with no problem, so if it's bugged, it's not bugged all the time.

Note: Some of the NPC's get "stuck" when someone uses fear, feign death, etc. on them. When that happens, they just evade further attacks until they are reset. I've seen this happen a few times, and I just ask a GM to reset them, after which they are good as new and ready to be killed.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Quest isn't bugged on stormscale.

For those without Co'ords, it's the cave to the right of Mudsprocket, in the Wyrmbog.
Place is crawling with Searing Whelps and Firemane Firecallers, but not overly hard.
Be sure to clear the area outside of Onyxia's gate before you summon. Just stand in front of the cave, in the dirt, and summon away.
It's a lvl 41 dragon named Smolderwing. Nothing unusual about him. Easy kill, soloed as a 41 holy priest.
5700 exp, 1g 10s, and a not so bad quest reward for possibly the easiest quest at this lvl.

Hope this helps someone.

Server Agamaggan

Not bugged on server.

-Go to The lair @ 52,75
-Clear NPC's
-Plant Banner at base of entrance
-Wait for him to fly down and Burn it
-Kill him

Easy for 43 Warrior no problem 75%+ health left. He is only a regular 41, non-elite. Got 5700xp, definitely worth the time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Uhh, i think theres something wrong with this quest.
when i go to the cave thing the dragon is already there.
so i plant the "banner" and open the gate thing
yet nothing happens.
the dragon just stays there and does nothing.
frustrating, am i doing it wrong or is it broken ?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Not bugged on Moon Guard. Nice little fight, nothing hard. This mob should be elite, at least, to make it a fitting climax.

Oh well, working as intended. Nice rewards, too.

Here's a map:

Kommentar von Thottbot

Planted the banner several times, killed the dragon, quest did not complete. Realized I was in a raid group, dropped the party, did it again, and voila, quest complete.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Took me forever to do this because I didnt know i had to place the flag in the dirt haha, thanks for the info

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just did this quest on Skywall Server and it is not bugged. Just wait for him to light the banner on fire and then him apart. (makes a decent dragon stew)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just as a side note, if you have "Catch a Dragon by the Tail" the Wyrmtail is lying along the way. More efficiency that way.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

deffo not bugged

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When I first went to attack him, it wouldn't let me attack, but I ran a few feet and turned around and then it let me attack.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

damn, this thing is still bugged. sometimes it isnt and sometimes it is. opened a ticket up. Worked fine on my alliance character, but now on my horde Smolderwing is already spawned and just flapping away at the entrance, before i dropped the flag.

an hour and a half later the Game master contacted me and took care of it in 20 seconds. got rid of the guy, and said "Smolderwing was pissed at someone!" lol good that they have a sense of humor. ask if they would fix it with a patch and he said he wasnt a developer so he didnt know, and that it was rare that it happens.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I had to open the cave mouth and come back out to plant the banner.
Then wait for the dragon to speak and leave the cave before it was an active target.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

bugged on Blackwing Lair. tried to do it for about 20 minutes today with a friend but dragon never attacked :p. is smolderwing supposed to light it on fire or one of the flying drakes?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

on the ahn'qiraj server... works fine. go to 52,75 and plant the flag directly in front of the cave and wait. the dragon will come, talk to you and set fire to the flag.

thats when you pwn him. very very easily kill- level 41 red dragon <3
good luck

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If the dragon "Smolderwing" is hovering outside of the cave before you plant the banner...might as well go do something else. Tried planting banner all over the front of the gate, in the grass, etc. Apparently, if someone pops the Smolderwing dragon and does not kill it, the dragon will sit there as an invalid target for who knows how long. Been 2 hours so far for me. Opened a ticket and waiting for response.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Loc: 57,72

A message comes up saying you have to enter the lair to plant the banner.

It says you need to be part of a raid, at least lvl 50 and have the Drakefire amulet in your inventory to enter.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

seems to work fine for me...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just planted the banner about 50 times (not an exaggeration!) and no response. Opened a ticket and no response for about half an hour, so I logged and hope that they deal with it!
You'd think that they'd have made it work, seeing as it is a relatively recent addition!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

double post

Edited, May 11th 2008 2:05am by Charin

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I had no problem killing the dragon, but when I planted the banner I got stuck inside of it. I could kill that dragon when he came for me, but I couldn't move until the banner disappeared.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this quest with no problem on Rivendare.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

27 August 2008. Still bugged. Smolderwing is sitting in the entrance and nothing happens when I plant my banner. If you are lucky enough to turn up and Smolderwing isn't there then it will work for you. This doesn't mean it isn't bugged any more, just that you were lucky.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just did as a lvl 44 war. A little late, but for 5700 xp/ 1g, I'm not complaining. Just plant it in the dirt (not stone) and the dragon will spawn, burn the flag, and then begin battle. Was fairly easy at my lvl.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

bugged @ 56, 71

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried it yesterday, still bugged. The dragon wasn't spawned when i arrived, planted the banner and he spawned. Then he said something and that was it, no setting the banner on fire, no nothing. Couldn't attack him either, was still "friendly".

Gonna try again today, if it doesn't work will open a ticket.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Bivster is correct. You plant the flag and wait for the dragon to spawn at the mouth of the cave. He'll come over and light the banner on fire and afterwards you can target and kill him.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Coordinates are 56,71 adn you want to stand right on the edge which would look like the first step into the entry way. Then the Drake will appear.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Read the thread here before the quest. I worked through it the first time by planting the banner and waiting for the mob to attack me BEFORE targeting. Good luck!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just did this quest as a 42 mage. Placing the banner worked fine, but for some reason it appeared *directly* on top of my, trapping me inside the banner itself. Could still spin around and cast spells, so I killed the dragon with no probs, but it was very awkward as I couldn't see a thing, my screen was completely blotted out.

About 10 seconds after killing the dragon, the banner disappeared and I could move again.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

tried it many times, this quest is bugged. Also saw others try it with no success as well.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Stand directly in front of the entrance to Onyxia's Lair when you plant the Stonemaul Banner. A level 41 drake (Smolderwing) will spawn and fly out from the cave, you must defeat it to get quest credit.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The problem is he is "supposed to spawn".....

If he is allready spawned as in my case... then you cannot spawns him yourself for your quest...So the posts all saying not bugged also say they spawned him..all the posts saying bugged he has allready been spawned and is jsut hanging out there...So have to get him to go away some how.../petition.. so you can spawn him yourself and kill him...

You would think they would be smart enough to put a respawn ticker on him>

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Quest details fixed.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You guys wanna know why it's bugged? or maybe WHAT is bugged? it's an idiot/noob that spawned him and didn't kill him. The bug here is that the mob doesn't despawn, so basically it stays there saying invalid target keeping others from starting the event.

If the dragon is already there when you arrive... good luck completing the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The quest looks like its fixed. I went right up to the entrance to Onyxia's lair, planted the banner, Smolderwing appeared and said a few things, I massacred him and completed the quest, no problems or hangups anywhere.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The quest is definately still bugged. I just tried it today, 8/15/08, and it was bugged. Everyone who is saying it is not bugged is wrong, the only reason it worked for them was because the dragon was not already spawned when they arrived. The bug is that when somebody tries to do the quest and runs away, it leaves the dragon sitting at the entrance to the cave un-attackable by anyone else, so that when someone else comes along to do the quest and plants the banner 20 times, it won't matter, because the dragon is already there but is not selectable for attacks, hence nothing will happen.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not just horde . . .

I was laughing when I got this part . . . a lvl 41 ogre challenge Onyxia? Ok dude, you're brave ... guess two heads don't make you smarter. But you have to award him brownie points for his passion for his homies, pour some liquor on the ground, rest in peace, homes.

his bunch of quests as well as all the ones in muddsprocket are neat, dinged 2 lvls .. and they're easy if you're lvl 40, and in the same vincinity

just a note . . . yeah make sure there isn't smoldering wing either. There was another quester and they kept trying to drop the banner . . .

And watch out for high horde blood elves or members of opposite faction, if they're there theres a lvl 42 elite dragon(s) they will try to pull it over and it will bury you 6 ft under . . .

when dropping the banner if you try to do it while sitting in the stone dragon's mouth, it won't work (or if you open up the teeth and go in) you have to drop it just outside the mouth.

smolding wing is a lvl 41 dragon . . .no big deal, he has a stun and dragon fire stuff (burns when you're melee and breath attack) like the other dragon kins do . . .

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i planted the banner and tried to attack the dragon but it wouldn't let me it kept saying "invalid target"

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Completed it today and there were no problems at all. Just wait for him to light the banner on fire and then you kill him. lvl. 39 hunter - very easy.

But watch out for sourrounding mobs.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

coordinates are 52 , 75 in Wyrmbog; it's 57, 72 in Onyxia's Lair

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Can't be looted or skinned. I killed him twice just to be sure. And as stated before... he is a 'friendly' until he says his little dialogue and lights the banner on fire. Be patient!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

anyone did this quest? I went the the lair entrance, there was a warlock there who had planted his banner, so I planted mine just before the cavern entrance and...nothing happened. the lock didn't get it to work either...blah!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried this on Nagrand Server 04 Dec 2007 at 15.45 and it is def bugged. Opened a gamer ticker but had no response as yet

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The quest shouldn't be bugged, you just have to be patient. When you plant the flag at the mouth of the cave, the dragon will appear. However, the dragon will then do a little speech and come and burn the flag. Only after he's finished talking and burning the flag will you be able to attack him. You'll know because he'll come straight for you. If you try to attack or target him while he's still talking it will say invalid target because you have to let him finish first.

So if you were thinking it's bugged, it's probably not. Just wait a few more seconds and you'll be able to attack him. I've found the best place to put the flag is right in the center at the front of the cave, but still on the 'grass' part outside of the cave, not directly on the stone of the mouth of the cave. If that made sense, haha. Kind of hard to explain.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

52, 75 directly outside Onyxia's cave, drop the banner and kill Smolderwing - lvl 41 normal Dragon. Not bugged

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Go to (52,75), drop the banner on the ground in front of the cave (in the dirt, not the rock area).

Smolderwing is a L41 (non-rare/elite) that you have to kill. Once he lights the banner on fire, go ahead and attack him. He's only got 1332 HPS, so an easier kill than most of the mobs in the area. Nothing bugged about this quest at all.
