This quest seems to be a bit of a pain in the arse.

It seems like the only way to do it is to personally fly (or get summoned) to the Ruins of Lodearon (Undercity). One think I would note guys is make sure you have the quest item, and it has a roughly 2-3 sec cast, so hopefully you can get it off before some pesky Horde player comes over to gank you.

Wickerman is the big brown statue (not the NPC). Fly behind it and use the quest item. No guards aggroed.

Commentaire de Emaziz

Too lazy to fly all the way up?
Do this quest after dropping 25 stink bombs in Explosion de boules puantes !!
How? Simply log out while still flying the broomstick and you will be teleported to graveyard outside Scarlet Monestary ;)

For those doubting I can confirm that this works.

Commentaire de Farelf

If you can mass summon, fly there and offer to summon a group of 10 people for 100g each.

A quick grand is nothing to sneeze at.

If you're a Death Knight, use Death Gate to teleport to the Eastern Plaugelands, and then take the flight path to Androhal, Western Plaugelands. You'll pretty much only need to fly for 2 minutes from there. Beats having to fly all the way from SW.

In addition to what was said previously, there is a wide grey ledge behind the Wickerman. Land here, not on the ground. You will be at quite a distance from anyone. I got in and out with no problem. I can see how this quest would be VERY difficult without a flying mount.

Stealthed into the Ruins of Lordaeron as a lowbie (48) druid. Tried to target the Wickerman, but I couldn't - not as in "I don't know how to click on stuff." but as in "I clicked on the Wickerman and there was no response from the game, the Wickerman was not targeted as if I were clicking on some environmental element that is non-targetable." I tried to target him a couple of times, and I targeted several Wickerman Revelers, but was not able to target the Wickerman. So I went ahead and used the Dousing Agent, thinking it might auto-target. The Agent triggered, giving "use" feedback. Nothing happened. I tried to use it again, and I got a message "You don't have anything targeted." or words to that effect.

By then, the Horde noticed, and I was promptly killed. Thinking I was in the wrong place, I scouted out the Ruins of Lordaeron in wisp form, and found nothing I should have been targeting other than the untargetable Wickerman. I resurrected under the steps to the Silvermoon portal, stealthed, and managed to get out undetected.

I thought maybe I was in the wrong place, went to the area to the west of UC where they do the other holiday events, and was promptly detected and killed by abominations, but not before I saw there was nothing there for me work with.

So, I came here, to Wowhead, and everyone is saying that yeah, it's the big wicker man (named Wickerman, how could you miss it) right there in the courtyard and that they are doing the quest no problem. Is this the part where I smash my keyboard like Sabranic Silverdeth used to do?

Edit: I went back and stood on the toes of the Wickerman. Could not target him. Used the Dousing Agent, and it did its thing this time. I was promptly killed.

Commentaire de LaCrysta

I was just there and flew on the ledge behind the Whickerman, I could see the skeletons of a bunch of people who did that before me. Threw the dousing agent and flew off before anyone spotted me.

Another way to get to Undercity would be to get on top of the Horde Zeppelin that heads to Undercity in Grom'Gol Base Camp in STV. It's important you land ON TOP of the zeppelin so the guards don't aggro you. Ride the zeppelin up. Happy burning!

Having a Flying Broom really helps us non-druids make a quick getaway.

Commentaire de 867097

If you can fly in behind the wickerman and land on the terrace its an easy quest. I did it at 03.35 so there was only 1 other player around and i avoid them. Never got any aggro from the guards.

Commentaire de Mondoblasto

A warning I realized though.... there are Horde that would have figured this out to get to SW from UC too. So you might want to check that there's no one riding on the deck before you land on the balloon...

Commentaire de 861702

For Alliance, you can stand in the sewers behind the wickerman and do it from there too!

Commentaire de 733706

As I mentioned in a previous post, this quest is going to be VERY difficult for anyone who cannot fly, particularly if you cannot stealth. You will have to enter a horde structure and make your way to the Wickerman and stay alive long enough to put out the flames with the dousing agent.

In order to help us out with this quest, I sent my Tauren in there to do a little snooping around. He reports that all you have to do is to enter Lordaeron where you will immediately see the Wickerman on the left.

There are plenty of NPC's around, but they will not bother you. You will not have to pass any guards, though one did appear while another Ally player took some shots at my Tauren and some other lowbies. Anyway, go up the stairs on the left, get behind the Wickerman (so as to be less visible), and do your thing, then hearth out.

The problem is, of course, other players. If you can't stealth you will never get passed any that might be there. I waited until about five in the morning my time and decided to send my 47 Ally Hunter in there. I left the Tauren in place by the Wickerman as sort of a lookout.

First, you have to get there. Not being able to fly makes this somewhat of a challenge. The closest FP is Andorhal and you just take the road west from there. At the border with Trisfal Glades is the Blockade, home to some big-time Horde NPC's and a Horde FP. Since they are not right up next to the road, you can shoot straight through there with no problem, but the next "checkpoint" on the road, Death's Watch Waystation, will not allow you to pass. Shoot through it, die and rez on the other side or avoid it by staying off the road at that point.

So I got my Ally Hunter all the way to the entrance of Lordaeron and logged onto the Tauren. Sure enough, there were two lvl 85's between me and the Wickerman. I waited around awhile and finally I could see no other Horde players. I knew that this was subject to change at any moment and decided to just charge in there no matter what.

It worked. I switched to the Ally Hunter and there were still no Horde players around. I ran up the steps behind the Wickerman and nailed him.

I recognize that not everyone will have a Horde alt that can spot for them. If you don't have one, you should. Having characters on both sides greatly widens your game experience and comes in handy for stuff like this.

If you don' t have one, I suggest waiting till the wee hours of the morning. Go up to the entrance to Lordaeron and press your "V" key. This will show you the bars of any Horde nearby on the other side of the wall. If you don't see any, go charging in there and, if you get killed, try to rez as close to the Wickerman as possible until you can get the job done.

Don't worry about finding a safe spot to land.
Fly in. Land right on the Wickerman. Douse him. In and out!

Commentaire de 895754

Just accomplished this, basically did 'Stick Bombs Away' and logged out, as suggested above, and relogged in the graveyard. Striped down to me bra and kickers in the hopes of showing I was no threat (but really, no one cares) and swooped into Undercity on my land-stuck broom. Got killed upon arrival, but I ressed directly behind the Wicker so I was slightly hidden. Immediately casted Douse, and finished two seconds before a gaurd shot me. Took about 10/15 minutes. Grand so!

Commentaire de JezzebelPop

At first this was annoying because on my server there's always one Horde player standing guard ready to gank you. It is impossible to get close enough without other Ally players playing bait.

After yesterday though i've changed my mind and think it's fun! I got 4 weighted pumpkins on the heads of the Horde for the achievement and a player named Beefsteak put up a good fight :p He killed me before I could douse then I came back, successfully doused and threw a pumpkin on his head xD Only need 4 more races pumpkin'd and I'll have my title.

So kill two birds with one stone unless you just use Dalaran or other neutral grounds to throw pumpkins.

I'm so glad you can throw them from your flying mount o.o

Commentaire de Zuljinn

I've just been landing on top of it (the head or shoulders) and dousing it. I've had no trouble. There's no guards or players ever on the roof. Of course, you can only get up there if you have Azeroth flying.

** Edit: Also, has anyone else noticed that this is slightly unfair on a PvE server? I've done this daily as both Horde and Alliance, and its definitely easier for the Horde. Granted the trip sucks either way but, the Horde's wickerman is actually IN the Ruins of Lordaeron, so you get flagged when you go in. But the Alliance wickerman is located outside of Stormwind, in Elwynn Forest. I've seen plenty of unflagged Horde just march right up, douse it, and walk off. Unfair!

Commentaire de 221005

As a lvl 60 Mage, I kept getting ganked. Best way I found was to fly in from the south (R in undercity on the map) until you see the bridge leading to the burning man. Drop into the water next to the bridge and swim to the wall next to the burning man. Pop the "juice" and fly off. Easy peasy once I figured that out. Hope it helps.

Commentaire de LoveHunters

I did this as a 24 LEVEL just for the heck of it. :p

I made my way to the ruins yesterday afternoon, which really is a bad time because it's more crowded and there were lots of horde players guarding the area and killing alliance players. I then ran right into the area where the wickerman is, got killed, then ran from the graveyard back inside the ruins, and logged out as a ghost. I logged back on this morning and not one horde player was there! Early morning is the best time. Finished the quest and hearthed out of there.

This worked for me because I play on several different toons, so it was no big deal to log off and wait till morning on that particular toon. :p

If anyone considers doing this, there is a good place to log out at..... as you walk up the stairs inside the courtyard, right before you get to the top level, look down to your right and there is a small ledge to jump down onto. I jumped down there and went to the end (closest to the wickerman) and that's where I logged off. You can use your dousing agent right from that spot when you log back on.

Good Luck! :-)

Commentaire de Ghastly

On my server (at least in the evening hours) there are now generally 1 or more Horde players standing guard on the ledge, a half dozen or more on the ground (including behind the Wickerman), and several flying patrols around the area. I don't really know how on earth a lower level character without a stealth can do this, other than by just ignoring being attacked and making sure that they run as much as possible toward the Wickerman each time before they are killed, and are selective about respawing in to make the most whatever time they have before being noticed (Other Alliance players are a good distraction). Heck, even as a Druid and with the instant cast flight form at 85, I don't know how I'd do it without stealth without dying innumerable times.

But if you do manage to douse the Wickerman and are then killed - but find that the thought of getting killed another 4 to 7 times (or more) again as you attempt to leave the area is more than you can stand, you can easily extract yourself from the area without accepting rez sickness by simply running your ghost to the edge of the ocean (north from the graveyard is only about a minute away), to just over the edge into the "blue water" - just barely into the area where you start to fatigue. Wait the approximately 30 seconds until you "fatigue" to death and voila! Your body will now be where you just "died" as a ghost, rather than next to, under and around the 27 or more Hordies that are hanging around your corpse salivating over it, waiting to kill you again when you respawn. Run to the ocean where your body is now from the graveyard, and rez as normal.

Note that this method DOES garner you a repair bill unlike the PVP deaths- but it's a lot less "ugly" than taking the graveyard rez sickness debuff, and a lot faster than the half dozen (or more) spawn/run/gank/die cycles you might experience (at least on Borean Tundra) before you get far enough away to get away clean.

Edit -> The fastest way I've found to get there from Stormwind if you are high enough level to do so is to portal to Mt Hyjal, and fly to just east of the northern end of Orgrimar (about a minute and a half), and land on top of the Zepelin that goes to Undercity (usually a wait of a minute, two at most). Again, stealth helps you to not get noticed, but it's not necessary. If you approach from above no one on it can see you and if you time it right, intersecting it as it approaches the edge of the ocean just before it actually "blinks out", you can avoid entering Orgrimar proper and even if someone sees you approach and land on it, be out and away before they have a chance to do anything about it even if you are already flagged PVP.

Commentaire de Ezmaralda

I just did this on my 46 Mage. I used Lesser Invisiblility Potion when i got inside the entrance, ran to the Wickerman and doused him. I was promptly killed by a guard but oh well. I managed to get past several Horde with the Potion.

Commentaire de 771511

Any suggestions for lower level players like me? Level 56 Mage...

Commentaire de 810800

I am Alliance, lvl 61 Hunter. I flew to Chillwind Camp in the Western Plaguelands. Then used my own flying mount to fly to Undercity.

I just landed on the Wickerman, unmounted, used the Dousing Agent, mounted up and flew back to Chillwind Camp.

No PVP problems, no attacks from Horde mobs. Very easy to do.

Commentaire de 898197

I am lvl67 draenei hunter without cata, so no flying in Azeroth, and almost gave up on this quest, but then I saw the hint to log out after dropping the stinkbombs while on the broom.
To make it short, logout/login, I was exactly 1000yards away from the Wickerman,
so just galloped on my ground mount there, right to the entrance.
Spotted some guards. So, dismiss the pet, drink the invisibility potion (I am always packing at least one stack of this, if you are also dps without any disguise option, buy this from AH, usually very cheap), but carefull - you can't see other NPCs or players while under influence - just got behind the wickerman when the potion went off, completed quest and hearthstone back to Stormwind. Finished in 40 seconds, wasn't spotted, easy peasy.

I think with this method really also lowlevel toons should be able to finish it, also getting there isn't such pain in the arse, flying path to the nearest point takes about 3-4 minutes, then another 2minutes running there.
I tried it once couple of days ago, but as I was first time there, tried to find the entrance from the wrong side, went almost whole round, there were 2 guards outside, killed me instantly...At the graveyard I decided to resurrect, in the time I was able to hearthstone to SW some lvl50 horde killed me very easily ;).
I was really surprised how easy it was this morning. Don't overthink it, just go for it.

Commentaire de frank2312

Also, if you are a low level trying to get it, here is m ytip (just did it and worked without any flaw).

First, you need to know that you MUST die at least once.

1) Run in Undercity and get killed by a guard near the Wickerman.
2) Release and run back to your corpse.
3) South of the wickerman, there is a platform with stairs; go under that platform.
4) Ressurect and use the quest item.
5) Hearthstone

Basically, unless you get ganked by hordies there, you shouldn't have any problem :)
