Lost Point is at 35.53. He doesn't mean SE of the Inn in Theramore, but SE of the burned Shady Rest Inn.

Comentado por kreghx

The tower containing the Theramore Deserters is south from the Shady Rest Inn. Take the road east from the Inn and take the first road that leads south. The tower is very near the road on the left, or the east side of the road. Cosmos loc is 35,54.

When you go inside the tower, Balos Jacken will immidiately aggro (just one 38 mob).

Comentado por Narcoleptic

any followup?

Comentado por 100034

If you enter Lost Point without the quest, the deserters, save for Balos Jacken, will be green(friendly). However, with the quest, they read as red (hostile). They are close enough together to cause problems for a 41 Warrior solo.

The respawn rate on these guys was retard, I couldn't get anywhere near the tower without having the adds that I had just taken down respawn. This is on patch 2.3.

I did this on my 39 RET specced Paladin. I believe the quest is a bit buggy. I killed a path to the tower door, then Divine Protection I ran into the tower and up the short steps to the very end. For some reason this reset all the aggroed mobs. Balos will return to the small landing on the stairs. Killed him solo. Returned to top of stairs. For some reason this is a safe zone of sorts. Waiting on DP timer... then ran out.

Hope that helps some of you ^^

I have done this quest in the past without any problems, but it seems with the new patch , there is an issue with repawn rates. I have yet to make it up to the tower with my level 36 hunter. No sooner do my pig and I clear a path and we have to start all over with the respawned mobs.

Comentado por clarkkers

Okay, I did this as a 36 Enhancement Shammy. I ran past Balos up the steps (stops right behind) him and died. I reincarnated and by some miracle was able to keep myself alive to finish the quest.

Otherwise, i wouldn't be able to reach Balos before repops get me.

Comentado por 99346

Did this on my level 37 hunter. I used Eyes of the Beast on my pet and had him aggro the entire room. I then ran up the steps past the npc and feigned death on the broken steps. I then stood back up and res'd my pet. I was then able to sit there evading all of his attacks until I was at full hp / mana. I then walked down onto the steps and fought him. Easy if you can make it to the broken steps no mobs can hurt you.

Comentado por 103082

As a lvl 37-38 mage I tried this quest many times but always ran into problems with respawns. In the end ran in to the tower & died. Rez'd right at the very top of the stairs in the tower & managed to eat, drink & buff. It kept putting me in & out of combat but Balos couldn't touch me. Once ready, moved close to Balos & easy kill. Don't get too close to him though otherwise you pull 2 other mobs. Ran out/blinked with mana shield on & job done. I guess I could have done this to get onto the top of the stairs! Good luck

Comentado por grawss

Yeah, at 1% health and ready to die, all the mobs went into evade mode. They cannot attack you on the edge of the steps. So run through all the mobs, into the tower, and once you get to the end of the steps just wait for them to reset. Once they do, edge down until Balos attacks. Kill him, then run out. If you get too close to Balos, you'll aggro a mob or two below, so stay near the wall and as near the steps as possible.

Comentado por 48047

Did on my 41 rogue, actually forgot about it, stealthed in, beat Balos into submission, only had one add. He went to get help so I vanished. Easy if you can stealth, watch the add, he will get help.

Comentado por 106492

I tried this quest today on my 37 priest found it very hard to do. At one point i got pissed and just ran in there and found out that if you stand at the top of the stairs just above Balos they can not attack you. I healed up and moved down far enough that he wouldnt evade my spells and had no problem with the other NPCs in the tower. Quest complete.

Comentado por 110767

I tried this as a lvl 36 prot pali 2k/2.5k health/armor (respectively). Stupidly I didn't read EVERY comment just where it was. I pull 3. 3 melee mobs vs 1 prot pali is just ezmode. 3 more mobs aggro some how and one runs for help.

So I pull them to the road LoH to live, then drink/eat up. I head toward the tower pull one guy walking around and another I SWEAR I just killed. Then the fun started they started to respawn as I was fighting it was then about 8-10 on one...needles to say I was a dead pali.

I was about to try the run up and talk but as I'm typing this a son of hakkar looking mob ate my face and now I need ot repair.

Comentado por Vrtsman

I ended up getting killed and then when I went back to body to resurrect, I just stood behind Balos Jacken. Don't have to kill him, just get him below 20 or 25 % and he'll turn green to finish the quest.

Comentado por lcarnegie

agreed I died right by him and then used divine protection, gift of naaru, a pot, and someone killed him and the other 2 gaurds that were on me. It's not worth it at all. You have to be able to able to heal or have a group for this one.

Comentado por 88457

No deaths needed, just a bit of stamina. I tried a few times to fight my way in but the mobs respawned far too fast to keep up with them - got about four down before the first came back at me because I was still in his aggro range.

Completed it after reading the above, but without dying. Run in and veer slightly to the left, run up the slope and onto the steps behind Balos, and the mobs start evading. From these wooden steps I was able to step off them and burst Balos down before stepping back on them to make the others to evade again. Once Balos turned friendly I could complete the quest from the steps and accept the next part before running out.

Note for shammies: I managed to use ghostwolf while stood on the wooden steps so ran out in that form, never though to use it on the way in though as I figured it would be 'indoors' anyway.

Have uploaded some screenshots, they should be there once approved.

EDIT

3900xp from handing it in at Balos

Comentado por 108306

As a druid (shapeshift and prowl) it was easy at lvl40, just attack the target and hope the rest turns friendly before u die.

My well geared hunter (lvl 38) and well trained pet only made till the opening of the tower before we died. Some gifts of naaru and mend pet and potions didn't hold up against the crasiest respawn rate of the game... Not looting the body's doesn't help either, they respawn before u know it.

Comentado por mrdummy

Level 41 shaman made it with more work.
Balos is inside tower with 2 mobs there. Around tower 4-6 mobs. You can perhaps see him up the broken trap inside tower.
Make decide which mob you fight. The timed respawn rate is 2 minutes, also without looting body.
That means don't loot bodies to save every second.
It's better to maximize your mana and stamina. You need it to fight to the tower. Don't fight all another mobs which is not in way, it's just waste of time and high aggro risk thanks to high respawn of 2 minutes.
Use best food for fast health regenation. Or use bandage. Try maximize dps to avoid new aggro, kill fast, they run away at low health.

Once damaged Balos and done quest part, just run away as possible from the tower. The mobs outside are still red.

Comentado por naano

Attempted this on a 38 shadow priest...the respawn rate is about a minute, even without looting the bodies. Very hard to do, especially if you have to drink after every 2-3 fights. After about a half hour of attempting to clear the place to no avail, I brought out my 70 shaman.

NOTE: if you use this method, do NOT bother clearing the entire place with your high level toon if your alt is just sitting on the road, because by the time you run your alt to the tower, things will already be respawning. I made this mistake a few times before realizing it doesn't work.

I ran my priest into the tower near the stairs (but not close enough to aggro Balos) and let her die. Then I ran back to my priest's body without rezzing. I logged onto my shaman and cleared out the inside of the tower (except for Balos) and the 3-4 mobs standing outside of the tower entrance. Then I quickly relogged my shadow priest, rezzed, ate/drank quickly and then started beating the !@#$ out of Balos. Managed to turn in and receive the follow up quest before things started respawning, then ran like hell out of the tower.

Very frustrating quest. But if you complete it you get about 7.8k of exp (3.9k exp each when talking to Balos and then Vimes afterwards).

Comentado por Fumblebuck

Confim the above method
(Run into tower to the top of the wrecked wooden stairs, mobs reset).
Tried it with my lv36 Shaman, worked a treat.
(Didn't bother trying to run out, just Hearthed. :)

Comentado por 142110

Soloed him with ez at lvl 36 with warrior.
Trick is to run in (u don't need to kill anybody), dosen't matter if u die of not.
Pass him and jump to the broken stairs.
Now the trick is to do it the safe way or the quick way.

Safe way:
once u get out of combat (might take a while) start eating and regaining lost hp.
Then when your full recovered, jump down (far from Balos) and kill one or all of the mobs.
if u killed all the mobs eat down there or run up eat and drink, run down and kill the last one.
Yes there spawn time is nuts, but if ur fast enough it will go smooth.
Since u have killed all there, just attack Balos and wait till he turns green.

Quick way:
Regain the lost Hp from when u ran in.
try to jump to Balos (without pulling others) and beat him down till he turns green.

The mobs around this tower kept evading on me. The evade bug combined with the quick respawn time made this quest impossible to solo. What a bunch of bull*!@#.

lvl 38 WARLOCK: Impossible to kill the mobs, they run away and come back full health, and all mob at once. Respawn is too fast on this to do it as a Warlock alone.
I read some tips from above and completed quest like this:

I used my VoidWalker to go in ahead of me and pulled EVERYONE to attack him. I ran by un-noticed and when up to the broken wooded steps. (Had to sacrifice my VW, but I was almost untouched.)
Regen/and called forth a fellhunter and we came off the steps. I sent him out to drop Balos & friends melee damage, and I focused on killing Balos. 2 other guys ran up, but I was able to defeat Balos fast enough that I could jump back up on the steps before the other guys finished me off. (lost my fellhunter to the mob) called forth another VW, used it as a decoy and ran out like I did coming in. I still got chased and died on the road.

Comentado por tomfairfax

Experienced as a well-geared (PvP blues) 40 affliction warlock. The bugged element to this is the definition of zones for the mobs on the stone approach to the tower. If you are off of the stone and they are on it, constant evades as I tried to land spells on them, even though I registered as in combat. When I was on the stone, I was able to engage them, but if one of the mobs ran (for example from Fear spell) then it would start evading, also seemed to cause all other engaged mobs to evade at same time. Worst case was I had 3 of them, all nearly dead from DoT's. All evaded, 2 of them instantly re-aggro'd at full health, and me at about 20% mana. Survived though!

General suggestions: use a succubus and ensure that your soulstone is up.

Comment for Altaurel: stick with it - the Shady Rest Inn chain has some excellent XP and rewards.

i did this quest solo with my level 34 mage. Easy-peasy if you just follow Stickelbacks instructions. Ran in with mana shield and went to the broken stairs to eat/drink/buff/fight. Thanks, Stickelback!

Comentado por 206910

I did soloed this one a lvl 39, affliction lock, decently geared. I felt it was pretty simple.

Use your VW (or other minion, whatever) and use your long range spells and pull one at time to you. I hit them with corruption and then the rest of my dots and life drained/ or drain souled. When I wanted to speed it up, I added in shadow bolt.

They do respawn quick so make sure you keep an eye out. Check things out with the Eye of Kilrogg before hurl yourself in there.

Perhaps this was fixed in the patch... because it didn't seem that hard to me.

Also one of the quests rewards at the end of the Tabetha/ Hyal chain is a sweet pair of pants. Leggings of the Long Road. Perfect for a lock.

Use above mentioned tactics if you are a under 40 level solo warrior, I hadn't read this forum when I tried. I hack-n-slayed my way through this one with a L40 Fury Warrior. Took bunches of damage inside the tower, 3 foes plus Baros waits inside the tower. Watch out for respawn gaurds coming in during Baros battle.

Finally after several attempts I beat down ALL foes in and around the tower and completed the mission. Tough fight! Definately group up to make this easier.

Have fun.

Pretty tough quest to complete solo as a hunter. If you do have to do it solo, here is what I did as a LVL 35 hunter:

I killed the Lieutenant and the deserters on the path leading up to the tower.
Than I killed the 2 on the outside of the tower (not in the grass but around the actual tower). This will usually pull 3-4 more, so make sure you can fight 3 to 5 on 1.
Once that was complete there are 3 in the tower, along with the Balos Jackson, aim for him and keep shooting, you will likely be mauled by the 3 inside the tower, but if you are quick enough, you can make him green.
Once he is, you need to go to him and accept the quest. Keep in mind the 3 will continue to attack even if you defeat Balos, so accept quick.
I died than respawned outside of the tower. I died a few more times trying to get to the road, but once I was there, I was free and clear, quest complete.

Comentado por 42045

Just did this on my new lvl 33 Ret paladin. The respawn rate for these mobs is retarded. Anyway, since I don't stealth on this toon, I just hacked my way up the ramp, then died just inside the door - this allowed me to rez on the wood just Balos Jacken. When I rezzed, did a quick Holy Light, BoW, and used sword & board, casting SoL and judging Wisdom.. Got him down, but when he quit and gave me the follow up quest, four of his henchmen from down below suddenly spawned right next to him and kicked my butt. Since I was going to die anyway, I just grabbed the quest and ran as far as I could before dying on the ramp. This allowed me to rez somewhat near the road. Insane respawn rate on this quest. By the time I'd gotten back from the gy, the mobs were all back. Nutty.

Comentado por 362104

Those wooden stairs really are a safe zone. I ran up there and rezzed. The dude turned and stared at me, wanting to come get me, but didn't while I sat and ate/drank. No DP or anything. He just waited for me to come after him.
PS don't try to fight him from the wooden stairs. You'll do him minor damage but his health will pop right back up, meanwhile yours will go down, down, down. I had to hop onto his platform to keep his HP from regenning over and over-never went below 1500 while I stayed on the stair, but it dropped fast when I joined him on the platform.

Pull the mobs out to the road 1-2 at a time. Do not loot. Rinse and repeat to avoid the insane high respawn rate.

Make sure you are at least 39-41 to do this quest, it's pretty hard.
On my level 39 mage I owned a couple of the Deserters outside so i could get in. But when I got in 3 of Balos' guards attacked me. Luckily before they killed me I got to the steps where Balos is and then I was able to resurrect there and kill him without any guards getting in the way. When he is nearly dead he surrenders and you finish the quest on him. Don't do what I did though and attack the guards after the quest was finished, Baros goes red again. If you want a tip, I'd use your hearthstone or if your a mage, a portal out of there.

Comentado por 412940

I just got Balos down to 10 HP (not 10% of HP, but 10 HP) before he turned friendly. Is it possible to kill him? Not that you’d want to if you’re on the quest, but is it possible?

Comentado por 287886

Solo'd (all 4 mobs including Balos Jacken) as a level 34 ret Paladin (I dinged while killing the mobs out front). Hand of Protection was on CD....I did have to use LoH, but no mana or health potions. I did die leaving (even though I popped HoP)...

Now, I will say that I had a tough time getting in there at level 33 and I died 2-3 times. I got in there once, and managed to kill a single mob, though I did die in the process (and LoH was on CD that time, but Hand of Protection wasn't). When I was finally able to get back in, I was level 34 and LoH was off CD. I'm assuming this would actually be possible at level 33 with LoH, but I don't know for sure.

So yes, while it is tough, it's certainly doable (at least for a Ret Paladin) solo.

Comentado por Minsiem

At level 36, I did not find this difficult at all. Respawn rate *is* rather fast, but picking them off one at a time is easy, and Balos was no problem.

36.54 are correct for the tower. He is lvl 38 non elite...pretty easy as a 33 hunter. for me i hadnt been to that area before this quest brought me there...watch out for the beasts around...they are 38-39 as you start getting closer to the tower that you need. And the quest works just fine.

Comentado por Thottbot

I had trouble getting past all the deserters to get to him in the tower. So I basically rushed into the tower and ran up the ruined stairs.

All of the mobs who had chased me stopped on the landing below the end of the stairs. They couldn't approach me. I could see Balos but he evaded when I tried to attack.

All of a sudden, all the deserters returned to their positions. Balos, however, came up to the landing and started attacking me. I fought him down to where he turns green and just as I was getting the quest, the other mobs noticed me again. I grabbed the quest and ran and made it out alive.

Comentado por Thottbot

just did this as a 42 hunter, went from the back of the tower (from the east), started by killing the 2 guys closest to the stairs, then worked my way around after walking up the ramp, never agro'd more than 2 guys so far. when I got into the tower, my pet agro'd the 3 deserters, I healed him and they went down pretty quickly, then there was just Jackos left to defeat, wasn't hard. then I mounted (Yes, still in the tower) and ran out of there to theramore.

Seeeeriously bugged. Avoid at all costs, there's just no-way you can really complete this without vainly trying to find a loophole.

Comentado por Thottbot

The quest is quite simple. You have 2 choices:

1) Run inside the tower and up the stair. You can stop in top of the ruined stairs. All mobs will stop attacking you. There actually is a spot where you are out of combat and you can eat and drink less than 3 feet in front (or behind ) of Balos Jacken.

2) You can die almost inside the tower (preferably inside) and ress up the stairs in the same spot.

After you reached the spot, wait about 30 seconds or so. You just come down the 3 ruined stairs, kill Balos Jacken and one of the deserters that will charge you, and you r done.

Easy - run into the tower fast - go to the broken steps - wait for the mobs to go back to their places - drink / eat and then attack Barlos - is easiest when you set your HS to Theramore because that's the next string in the quest :) You can then just HS from those broken steps avoiding all mobs.

Comentado por Thottbot

Pretty much impossible at level 30 when I obtained it. What I did to complete it though: <cheat alert lol> Ok I got out there on my level 30 shaman and got killed getting in the tower (this was expected). Rezzed on the top step and healed up while they were unable to attack me. Tried moving down to the ledge the guy is standing on and fighting him there but his guards came running in and joined in the fight. I moved back up to top step and healed while they were losing aggro. I logged off and logged onto my level 61 death knight (LOL) and went to the tower killed all the guards around it with my pet on aggressive (all except the one guy). Then I death gripped him and hit him a time or two and he went friendly (green). I quickly logged back onto shaman and HE WAS STILL FRIENDLY! So I completed quest, then leisurely walked out (only to get killed by a level 38 windserpent and a spider. But at any rate, quest completed at lev 30.

So short story! You can knock this guy down on a high level character and if you are quick he will still be friendly when you log back onto your low level character. I think he turns back aggressive in about 2 mins near as I could tell.

I found the easiest way to do this was clear up to the tower {35,54}, but they respawn pretty quickly, so go fast. Once you have the two on either side of the tower entrance cleared, run in and up the stairs and to the top of the last step. When you're on those wooden steps they can't get you. Wait for them to deaggro {Balos will not}, then step down onto the normal stairway and kill Balos. He turns green at 20 or 15%, I forget, and then you can talk to him to finish that step of the quest.

Tried this as a 34 Mage with a 36 Warlock. It is crazy hard post 2.3 patch. The respawn timer is FUBAR. Guys re-appear before I can finish drinking, and we didn't loot anything! Then you get in a room with 5 37-38 MoB's...Maybe we are underlevel, but still. This is way hard for a solo quest. Used to be that the deserters were yellow, now all are red and respawn like crazy.

You can zerg the tower, and die there, then rez on the top step of the tower. It's bugged, and no one will attack you while you are there. Eat, drink, buff, and step down and kill Balos as fast as possible, try not to aggro the guys on the bottom floor, and loot. Best to hearth, so you don't have to die/rez your way out of the tower.

I think Blizz needs to either:
Make the adds yellow
Increase the respawn timer
Thin out the MOBs
THEN fix the top stair bug.

Good luck.

P.S. What is that nonsense about raptors in the quest description?

Comentado por Allakhazam

They are safe, and if you wait up there for about 30 seconds all the ones you dragged there will leave and you are left to face Balos alone.

The tip about standing on the broken steps is spot on. They just stop attacking you there. Thanks to that tip this quest was easy.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Now that you can get a mount at lvl 30, this is one of the easiest quests there are. It's possible to ride all the way up to the broken steps. After you wait for the mob to cool off and leave Balos alone, you subdue him and return to the broken steps. The game DOES allow you to mount while there - and you just ride off into the sunset. :)

As long as you're this far along the path, you might as well head to Mudsprocket and pick up the FP there and fly back to turn this quest in.

Comentado por Allakhazam

My spouse and I (36 Druid and 36 Ranger) just tried this one for the 5th time. These guys have INSANE agro range and they repop like rabbits! If it hadn't been for the fact that a wandering 35th Priest joined up with us and kept us alive, we wouldn't have stood a chance. As it was, we all ran out of mana several times and just couldn't catch a chance to drink. It was a pretty constant 30 minutes of combat before we could get into the tower to take out Balos.

Bliz needs to either lower the aggro range or the repop rate on this one. I don't advise running it without a tank and a healer.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Level 41 hunter. I had no problem with this once I figured out how to do it.

How NOT to do is is to try to fight your way through the deserters. They respawn faster than rabbits. Several times I'd be attacked by two or them, kill one, be fighting the second, and the first would repop.

But it isn't necessary to do that.

Ignore the deserters and run straight into the towers. If you have a pet, make sure it's on passive so it doesn't stop to fight. It'll just get killed. Run up the ramp and onto the broken steps. That's a "safe" spot - the mobs won't attack you there and the ones that are chasing you will stop and start milling around. You'll still be in combat, but they won't be attacking you.

Bandage up if you need to, then attack Balos. As soon as you step off the steps, the mobs that were attacking you before will be back, so be ready. I focused on Balos until he went green, then turned to the 3 mobs that were attacking my pet. If you need to heal, step back onto the steps, bandage, and step back off.

This approach worked like a charm for me.

Ok, this is my strategy remember I am an idiot so I decided to do the quest at level 37 paladin.....

First Run start into the tower get in front Bathos and here is the key DIE!

Seriously just die....Then run back to your body, Respawn drink a large health potion, and take on Balos, if u do this correctly u will only face Balos and one deserter.
Fight Balos first, take care of him until he is green. Then take on the deserter, Defeat him. Talk to Balos. Get the quest.

And then bubble and run like crazy.... This will probably only work if you are a Pally...

This is insane there is no reason for someone to complete the quest this way it is just a suggestion.

When I first saw the tower I noted that there were a lot of deserters, levels 37 and 38. I was about to call for reinforcements when I realized that they were green to me, friendly (I am a level 36 Alliance Dark Elf Rogue). I walked on into the tower to find the leader, Balos Jacken, expecting he would be friendly also. Instead, he jumped down from an upper floor and attacked me once I had entered the tower. He was level 38. None of the deserters joined in to help him, so I only had to fight him. Once I got his health down to about 25% he surrendered and gave me the information about Reethe to take back to Captain Vimes in Theramore.

I agree with indyferret, tried to complete this quest just the other day, beat on him until he gave up, he had the yellow ? but didn't talk, no response. Any suggestions?

This quest is currently bugged according to a Blizz GM, and is 'to be fixed at a later date', probably 1.11. It was apparently broken in 1.10. Abandoning the quest is probably easier at the moment, or paging a GM and hoping that they can set the encounter to complete, but it's doubtful.

6/12/06 still broke -- grey by now anyway for me from waiting for them to fix it :abandon:

Comentado por Allakhazam

does anyone have Titan cords for this quest?

Comentado por Allakhazam

As of 1.10, I'm trying to do this quest. I get out there, whack Jacken, and he gets the yellow ? over his head, but he won't talk to me. I've tried abandoning and going back out, but it's doing the same thing. Anyone else having this issue, or have any thoughts?

Comentado por Allakhazam

As of April 12, still can't talk with the guy. Tried 5 times...

and putting your weapon in your bags doesn't help either although it was an interesting idea Kemamide :)

I just did this quest today as a level 37 rogue. I first tried to stealth in but could not get by one of the guys before I was spotted. So I did it the normal way and it turned out to be easy.

Stand on one side of the path leading to the tower and pull/kill the guard closest to you. Then do the same to the guard on the other side of the path. You can then pull the guard standing in front of the entrance to the tower. Once he is dead, pull the guard that circles the tower when he passes by the entrance. Next, kill the guard on each side of the entrance (outside the tower on the elevated portion). The front of the tower is now clear for you.

The next step is to pull three guards inside the tower, one by one. It's easy to do. Finally attack and subdue Balos.

Solo'd this as a lvl 39 Rogue.

Stealthed straight into the tower, sapped the closest guard, ambushed Balos, got him down to low health and he gave up :) Didn't aggro any of the other guards in the tower whilst fighting him. Stealthed all the way back out. Easy!

It appears Blizzard fixed the bug on this one with patch 1.11 (Necropolis) .. and yeah it was grey for me since I'm level 49 now .. but just had to finish it.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I informed Blizz of this bug and got a standard response through ingame mail. Over a week later they still haven't corrected it. Still broken as of 6 April 06. .

Comentado por Allakhazam

same i just tried today it wont work

Comentado por Allakhazam

This quest still cannot be completed as of 26-May-2006. I've sent a ticket and got an ingame-mail saying that they are aware of this problem and will fix it soon.

Comentado por Allakhazam

This quest was broken in 1.10 but apparently fixed on the 2.3 quest realignment when they added new quests.

The bad point in this quest now is the respawn timing. There is a blindspot to these mobs. If you go on the broken steps they won't attack you. Wait for two minutes and they stop attacking you and only the leader of the tower will attack when you step off.

Then after he confesses he gives you a ? and a ! then run like hell out of there.

The quest is found at Lost Point. If you explored the entire map they are next to the words "THE QUAGMIRE" on your map.

Full Reethe Questline Info

It's a long story following Rethe's mystery on both alliance and horde side. I will tell the alliance side of things. I can also confirm it works in classic, you just need to get the required prequests. Questie will show the badge on the map, even if you didn't complete the prequests yet.

Alliance starts with James Hyal and the followup James Hyal OR Chamam-no Jim Sorridente (you can do only one of the prerequisites)

Once you got these prerequisites you will be able to loot the Escudo de Ferro Enegrecido and Distintivo de Reethe as well as inspect Pegadas de casco in the burned down Inn in Dustwallow Marsh at 29 47.

The badge is really small sitting on a plank in the middle of the inn, the shield hangs on the chimney, the hoofprints are in front of the house.

These items start 3 quest:

Tenente Paval Reethe
O escudo negro
Pegadas em forma de casco

You are then send around 2 more times to other NPCs with the shield:

O escudo negro
O escudo negro

And the badge continues to the following questline:

Tenente Paval Reethe
Os homens de Daelin
Os desertores
Os desertores

There is no follow-up to this quest, though you do get a bit more from the Horde's perspective if you come back and do their side of the chain. The conclusion to the mystery was not added into the game until Patch 2.3, thus we won't be seeing it in Classic. That patch addressed many of the abrupt endings to quest chains in Dustwallow Marsh.

On Horde side:

Tenente Paval Reethe from Insígnia da Guarda de Theramore

Pegadas em forma de casco from Pegadas de casco

O escudo negro from Escudo Negro
O escudo negro
O escudo negro
O escudo negro

O interrogatório de Reethe

After handing in Distintivo de Reethe you get an escort quest to help an ogre go talk to him.
However before you can get anything out of him some alliance show up and kill him for treason.
After all three of them has been completed horde gets a quest to go talk to the smith of the Escudo de Ferro Enegrecido in Thunderbluff.
Unfortunatly the smith cant possibly remember for whom he made the Escudo de Ferro Enegrecido so the quest ends there.

This quest appears to be "fixed" in Classic. Based on the other comments it seems that the deserters used to respawn super quickly. I completed this fairly easily on my 38 shaman. It's still a pain because there are tons of these guys and they all run at low health.

WARNING: Do not try the broken steps glitch, that appears to be fixed in Classic. Everything kept attacking me on the broken stair.

Comentado por Sophos1468

If you kill Balos and he surrenders but you cannot talk to him or turn in the quest, log out and back in to fix before he despawns!

Comentado por haiasi

If anyone is trying this on Hardcore, none of the other mobs aggro'd. I watched videos from a long time ago and they all used to aggro. Some say it's a bug?

Regardless, I fought him and all the other deserters just ignored us fighting. Pretty easy solo fight.

Os desertores

Obtenha informações sobre Reethe de Balos Xavier e dos desertores no Pântano Vadeoso.

Descrição

Está difícil permanecer no pântano, mas conseguimos, com muito custo, manter várias torres defensivas de observação pela região.

Os relatórios mais recentes dos batedores indicam que um grupo de desertores invadiu uma de nossas torres abandonadas no Posto Perdido, sudeste da estalagem.

Parece que o tenente local é o Balos Xavier. Tente obter alguma informação dele.

Mas cuidado, <name>. Pode ser difícil arrancar alguma coisa do homem.
