The cave is not hard to find, it's along the south wall east of the Horde base.

2-3 people should be able to make their way to the back. Don't try and kill everything in there, just get to the back of the cavern as quickly as you can and get the banner.

This trinket allows you to teleport back to the Horde base. You will spawn at the front steps of the Generals room. This is useful for turning in armor scraps/blood/flesh, if you need to suddenly buy arrows or shells or whatever from the base vendor, or if you want to go defense.

The cave is about 40,29 inside the Ice Wing Caverns you have to go about 42.36 (banner location).

There are mobs inside.. easy to kill though.

Is it possible for a 53 to do this quest??

Commentaire de 53461

This quest is given by Warmaster Laggrond in the Alterac Mountains at 62,59. I would recommend a group of at least 3 for this quest to be completed effectively.

Once you enter Alterac Valley, the entrance to the Wildpaw Cavern is located at 52,89. Once there, you need to fight your way in to retrieve a Frostwolf Banner (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/object=179025) for the quest.

The banner itself is located at 50,93, deep inside the cave. There are many mobs spaced closely together around the level of 52-56, so it is very possible that you will be pulling 3 at a go.

NOTE: Watch out for Alterac Yeti (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=13959), a level 61 elite wandering the cave.

The reward from the quest, Frostwolf Insignia Rank 1 (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=17690) allows you to port back to Frostwolf Keep once every 2 minutes.

This trinket is upgraded as you gain reputation with the Frostwolf Clan.

Neutral: Rank 1 (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=17690)
Friendly: Rank 2 (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=17905)
Honored: Rank 3 (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=17906)
Revered: Rank 4 (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=17907)
Exalted: Rank 5 (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=17908)

You missed Rank 6 :)
https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=17909#M0z

The surrounding mobs are level 66-68 in the level 61-70 version of Alterac Valley, three is standing near the flag and you'll have to fight them at once. Bring a friend, or a potion, if you are playing a class that can't heal yourself. The wandering Yeti is level 71, he hits for ~1500 on leather, so keep your eyes open.

Commentaire de 41236

So then that equates for a map being favored for the alliance?
The bridge is a death trap.
The caves have a lower lvl mobs in there for an easier quest.
Bowmen = 300yd range
Alliance jumps over fence in town and cap relief hut
More elites in the alliance camp plus its more spread out

I just did this myself as a 70 holy priest. I wasn't able to work my way down to the flag before the BG ended, and the 3 pulls were a struggle for me. So, the next time my lengthy que came up, I ran down through the tunnel and into the flag room and died in a corner. There is no durability penalty, and when I rez'd I was able to pull the 3 around the flag one at a time.

To get to the flag room, you go straight into the cavern until it drops down. You then go to the right, and then another quick right. This passage goes straight back into the flag room.

Commentaire de 111794

Question. Is it still possible to do this quest? I've heard that people report you for being "AFK" if your in the cave. Is this true?

Commentaire de 135723

Completed this today as a 70 Mage. Run in , use invisibility , blink when it fades then manashield . you should be basicly there by now if you follow the directions from the previous post. Die - Res - walk back - 2 kills and its yours :) Enjoy your Trinket.

Commentaire de ArcticKiller

even if you dont want the trinket, this rewards you a good amount of gold. having done this at 70, i got 7g 59s for the first turn in and because I was already exalted with frostwolf I was able to get the last one. in the end, it netted me 50-60g after the turnins

Commentaire de 131560

did as a poorly geared holy pally.. ez run to the end where the flag is.. die

run back and rez and only have to fight like 3 mobs. then loots flag... then leave AV

Commentaire de 144425

I tried as prot @ 51pre-lk, and got wasted pretty badly. Now that heirloom items and stuff are out, it's probably much easier now.

There's a pack of 5 level 58-59 mobs guarding the banner, and you can't take the banner while Bubbled (getting "you can't do that while invulnerable" )

You can't get weapon skill in the cave anymore, but you can get defense skill up, I went from 200 -> 250 pretty fast running in that cave.

Edited for corrections. I was also kinda mad when I wrote this so long ago :>

Commentaire de Arkke

I just solo'd this quest as a 66 Affliction Warlock. Of course, everyone in the 61-70 bracket is too busy telling you how long ago they finished the quest to actually help you complete it. So, a few failed battlegrounds later, I finally mastered the art. I assume most classes with mass CC could use this method (i.e., Priests with Psychic Scream, potentially a Frost Mage's Frost Nova, etc.)

Basically, just zerg rush into the entrance of the cave. Rush straight between the two big groups on your left and right, fire off a Howl of Terror (if you have it on instant cast) once you've got a group behind you, fall off the ledge and head right. You'll come across a narrow passage with a couple decent-sized rocks against the right wall in the center of the passage; try to die as close to those rocks as you can. Once you're dead, release, and don't resurrect at the graveyard. Run back to your corpse in the cave, and try to resurrect by that rock, preferably closer to the entrance of the cave, and hug the wall. Check ahead of you to make sure you won't aggro the knoll that's standing farther back in the passage when you resurrect.

Now, there's a gnoll that patrols the ledge immediately above the rocks I'm speaking of. If you keep an eye on him, you can resurrect just as he's walking away and you'll have plenty of time for a Voidwalker before you make your second zerg rush. Not at all necessary to summon a Voidwalker here; I didn't use one for the entire run. Just make sure he's far enough down his partol that you don't aggro him when you resurrect, or it will screw up your second rushS bigtime.

Once you've resurrected, catch your breath and rush straight down the passage, and take a hard right. You'll see the banner in the back on the passage, on an island in the middle of a frozen pond. The gnolls will likely kill you before you get there, so just die close enough that you can resurrect on top of the banner. Die again, and make one last corpse run, making sure your mass CC is completely cooled down.

As soon as you resurrect, gather up the five gnolls in the area of the banner (1 on the island, and 4 around it), try to get these as close to the center island as you can, and fire your CC. At my level, Howl of Terror lasts for 8 seconds; I was able to loot the banner in what appeared to be 6 seconds. So, I had about enough time to fire the CC, jump on the island and loot. So, even with lower-rank Howl of Terror, you should be able to take the banner with just barely enough time to spare. Just be careful not to do this too close to any of the groups beyond the icy pond, or you risk grabbing an add and spoiling the attempt.

So, assuming you don't mess up, you can easily get this banner in 3 deaths, assuming you let the gnolls kill you the last time rather than escaping. Try to do this as early and as quickly as you can; if you Allies capture your graveyards in the south and your team is already up north, you could end up running the length of the instance back to your corpse in the cave. I attempted this a few times and didn't even have a change to finish my attempt simply due to the fact that the game ended too quickly. It may take a few instances before you get the cave down, but once you do, you should have no trouble.

Good luck getting your Insignia!

i dont get heads nor tail of this quest it is soooo anoying if anyone is on arie peak and lvl 51-60 can they plzzz help me with it tell me ur name and must be horde cya l8r all have a drink on meeee (:

Commentaire de 66460

The cave for this quest is very close to the starting gate, just travel southwest, go up the hill and into the cave.

Commentaire de tyrell444

He is right they did move everything around a couple patchs ago. The new cave is around 52,89. No not the entrence cave for the horde but it's a bit south of it. Almost could pass as a waterfall but it's not it can be kinda tricky to get there but once you find the place you'll slap yourself in the head cuz it's that easy.

Commentaire de 182101

It wasn't that hard. I did as a 60 BM hunter. You just have to skulk off and hit the cave. The mobs don't hit too hard and you should be able to get in pretty easily. Also instead of fighting my way back out, I just let myself get killed and rezed in the gy. All in all a pretty straight forward quest.

Commentaire de 200457

Just completed this quest today as a 70 MM hunter. This quest is worth the little bit of time it takes, as it rewards a significant amount of gold and rep with Orgrimmar. Like others have said, I was 999/1000 Exalted with frostwolf before even picking up the quest. After you do this quest, A new quest opens up at each reputation level. (instantly if you are maxed exalted)
1st Quest - Rank1 Insignia, 7g59s, 250 Org Rep
2nd Quest - Rank2 Insignia, 7g59s, 250 Org Rep
3rd Quest - Rank3 Insignia, 7g59s, 250 Org Rep

5th Quest - Rank5 Insignia, 11g40s, 500 Org Rep
6th Quest - Rank6 Insignia, 11g40s, 500 Org Rep

Total Rewards at 70 from first quest to last.
55g5s
2100 Org Rep.
Not bad for 15 mins of work.

Commentaire de 149389

Soloed as 66 rogue.
You need Improved Gouge to do it without killing anything.
Stealth in, once there, sap 1, blind 1 and gouge on, then fast get the flag ^^

Commentaire de Wintermetal

Updated for 80s:

Mobs are 76-77 plus a 79 on top of the flag.

1st Quest - Rank1 Insignia, 13g23s
2nd Quest - Rank2 Insignia, 13g23s
3rd Quest - Rank3 Insignia, 13g23s
4th Quest - Rank4 insignia, 16g53s
5th Quest - Rank5 Insignia, 19g86s
6th Quest - Rank6 Insignia, 19g86s

Total: 95g94s.

Not sure on rep because I'm already 999/1000 with Org but I got some SMC rep.

Destro Warlock, not the best spec but did the job. Nice quick way to get some extra gold and I assume its part of loremaster.

Commentaire de 342369

Just completed this quest as a lvl 57 Rogue alone. No prob, stealth in, take out those close to the flag one at a time, stealth out, no prob.

Commentaire de 97138

As an aspiring priest working my way though the world I had a horrid flash back of when I had to do this on my paladin. Not all the bubbles and Lay on Hands could have helped me then. So I was surprised how easy it was on my poor cloth wearing self when all it truly takes is a few things.

Two runs of Dying and running back, rezzing as far from ones body is possible.

In the Chamber there is an Evade bug spot behind the small pillar in the far left side, going behind there will usually cause the gnolls to evade bug

Any form of shield will do, pop it and start grabbing the flag as long as you do not take damage you will loot it fine.

So for priests use PW:Shield, Mages can use Mana Shield, and I'm sure Warlocks could use Sacrifice Voidwalker.

So even clothies have hope at early levels.
TL;DR: Doable as a lv 51 Priest

DOES NOT count towards Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms

DOES count towards total Quest Completion Achievement

Commentaire de masterprogram

One of several "scaling" quests which grants more exp as you level up, instead of less.

For example, most quests are red at one point, turn orange, yellow, green and then eventually gray as you outlevel it, and slowly decreasing the amount of exp you earn. This quest starts out yellow, and remains that color no matter what level you are. As such, it grants a gradually increasing amount of exp depending on what level you turn it in which is seemingly based on the amount of exp a "typical" yellow quest at that level would give.

8460 exp @ level 51 with the 20% heirloom exp bonus
8820 exp @ level 52
9120 exp @ level 53

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Anyone know where this quest is to be found? it don't have a (raid) or (pvp) tag So i guessed it would be some where in hillsbrad but couldn't find it. Any suggestions?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just to Clarify, it is inside AV..

Commentaire de Allakhazam

When I tried this, there was a huge 61 elite yeti guarding the banner. wtfbbqpwnt

Commentaire de Allakhazam

ok, Guys...Here is the clarification.
You RECEIVE the quest in Alterac Valley NOT THE BG itself, but outside of the BG instance,before you get into the long narrow cave.
In order to DO the quest, YOU MUST BE IN THE AV BG!
Then, to complete the quest, you must return to Alterac Valley and turn it in to the giver OUTSIDE of the BG cave/instance.
Two completely different areas,although,they both state Alterac Valley.

Now,for the Horde side quest

I did this on my Level 51 Horde Warrior.
I got tore the *&$# up! BUT!
After dying and trying to push ahead as far as I could,with healing pots and fearing. I rezzed while in BG/AV and pushed furthur ahead. Finally, I rezzed behind the flag where there is a giant Ice pond and a lvl 59 gnoll, got the flag undetected..and decided I was gonna die trying to get out anyway..so, die and rez at the gy.
For a low level, this is your only way,but hey...I got it!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Is this quest insode the instance in alterac valley?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Got beat down very quickly by a 61 yeti and four 59 alphas. What's the deal? This thing sounded semi-doable even for a 57 druid with stealthing and heals and Force of Nature to call upon, but it's like the second you're caught the entire cave is coming down on you.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Well, this was annoying.

I soloed this quest with a level 70 troll hunter, making a dying run into the flag room, then rezzing. Killed only 5 mobs at the end and grabbed the flag. Died on the way out, too, and then the Alterac Valley game ended, but I got out with the flag.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Loc 52,89

Go deep in the cave and kill the lvl 59 boar warrior your find at the very back - lots of mobs to kill along the way (unless like me, you stealth in, kill the pig and stealth out :))

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I am currently a 53 Warlock. I have this quest. I have already completed several others and this is the only one that I am still trying to complete. I finally found a group that made it all the way to the flag. Everyone else was able to get the flag. When I click it, it seems to work then I get the message its already in use and fails. When everyone was done, I wasnt able to click on it at all. In reading the quest again, it states that "all newcomers must complete the rite of battle" however I cannot find any info on what the 'rite of battle' is. Any ideas? Or any ideas on why I was not able to click the flag to finish the quest? Thank you in advance for any info.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I figured since there was no dura loss i could run in to the back, die then rez and grab the flag. I only ended up having to fight the 2 near the flag.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

the banner is at 51.93, if ur level 60 u could pretty much skip the first grp of mob and just jump down stairs and go right u'll find the flag guarded by 3 level 59 alphas, ez kill and quest is done. No need to run and rez each time, if done right u only need to kill about 10 mobs to get it.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

No, it is very much inside the battleground, I reached the cave entrance going southeast of Frostwolf Keep, behind a small frozen waterfall. The gnolls can be pulled in groups of one or two and range from 53 at the entrance to 56-59 near the banner. If you're not a stealth class or are lower level you may need a friend along to help you clear the cluster of 56-59 near the flag.

It should also be possible to body resurrect deeper and deeper into the cave if you don't feel like fighting all of the gnolls, just make sure to get away from the graveyard as soon as you can move so the spirit guide doesn't bring you back.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I did this as a 59 balance druid. I stealthed in, threw out trees, got flag. Very easy for me. I don't know how others could do it though. A hunter could do it with pet after dying a couple times getting in I guess. A rogue could do it my way with some type of trinket to summon a pet.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I had no trouble at all doing this with my 51 alliance rogue. However I have been trying with my friends 53 horde rogue. Oddly enough his rogue has roughly the same gear and same spec as my alliance rogue (stealth). I can not for the life of me get this flag. The gnolls are spawned way too thick for this and nobody will ever help (in fact they are usually pissed that I am not killing alliance).

This is really stupid on blizzards part. This is a freakin battleground! I can't call on a guildies help they are either too high or too low. It seems like the harpies on alliance side are nowhere near as thick as the gnolls are. I did this first try on alliance side.

In any case I hate this quest. I don't see how a lvl 51 warrior was able to get behind it undetected. Soon as you rezzed they should have spotted you.

Commentaire de bolognaman

Easily soloable by any class at any level if you have engineering. I did this as a lvl 51 warlock.

Corpse run to the back of the cave (2-4 deaths depending on class), res on top of the banner, then immediately put down a Masterwork Target Dummy. The furbolgs will whack you once or twice before moving onto the dummy, so pop a health pot if needed. Grab the banner then wait to die. The dummy still had about 85% of its life left after I looted the banner, so you could probably get away with an advanced dummy instead.
