Probably can be a hard one, though Arei makes good tank.
It will go north through edge of Irontree Woods to the road.
Once on the road 3 Treants attack, after defeating them the quest is complete.

His path can be found here: https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/npc=9598

Great quest soloed at 56 druid was doing fine until horde dicided to fight him, and yep I healed him and viola now Im pvp the fight is on with NPC and the damn horde.
We managed to kill the horde and the elementals and contimued on with the quest.
Lo and behold who was waiting at the end? the horde we both had low health and my mana was depleated, but had just finshed the quest when he slid in for the kill.
So if youo are any lower than 56 bring a friend pref a warlock or a healer.

Commentaire de 42914

as a rogue i had a problem dealing with the three elementals that spawned.
They would give mee 2 dots, one stacking which would go up to 100 every 5, and the other was ~100 every 10 seconds. They hurt... I killed them but i had to sit and eat, and as i did the quest failed as the tree ran off.

Soloed this one as a 51 hunter

Commentaire de 11459

Soloed as a 55 rogue. It's a piece cake, didn't even use any cooldowns. Just let him tank one as you fight the 1-2 others :)
Quest turn in is at 85,44 in Ashenvale.

Commentaire de 70012

easily soloed as a 50 Feral Druid, Arei can do it on his own. Free7300 xp.

Commentaire de Shaper

really easy for me since he can be healed!
he can kill on his own 2 mobs at time... i just keep'd his life up when he got the 3rd :)

(soloed as 53 priest)

Commentaire de vexis58

This quest is part of a chain beginning with "Flute of Xavaric" https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=939.

You need to complete the quest "Purified!" https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/quest=4442 and get the Flute of the Ancients which summons the NPC who gives this quest.

Commentaire de 13662

Soloed as level 50 (!) druid. Easy mode. just walk around in stealth and heal the big dude if needed. Im also balance so i summoned my awesome treants if needed :) May go a bit slow, but hey, good xp ;)

Commentaire de Steil

wow. just did this on a new toon. It's been changed a lot from the original. Used to have to escort him to silverwind refuge in ashenvale. sorry old timer speaking.

Commentaire de 84758

Easily Solod as a 55 warlock, I basically folowed him around and let him do the work. Easy Xp.

Commentaire de elilla

For old time sake:

The quest has been very nerfed, you used to take the current path out of the Irontree woods south all the way along to Ashenvale. Along the way starting as soon as you exited Irontree you'd be ambushed by those first 3 treants.

A bit further along you'd be ambushed by some cultists from Jadenar, further along still you'd get ambushed by 3-4 Jadefire Satyr's. All in all it was a very difficult quest, and was very difficult to solo. I would have counted it to be one of the most fun too.

Commentaire de 45734

As of patch 2.3 this quest now gives 10550 xp. Rep gained is still the same though :)

Commentaire de 101773

If the escort NPC wont spawn when you're using the flute, be sure to kill any mobs close to the ruins :)

Commentaire de doown

I did this in 2.3 and noticed that mobs behave in a weird way towards Arei - if you follow him at a nice range no mob will aggro him. Always when I got close to him the nearby mobs attacked Arei. This is from a stealther's point of view, since I didn't pull any mobs while prowling in cat form. Hope this helps some of the reading rogues and druids - just stay at about 20 yard range and it's a walk in a corrupted park.

Commentaire de w3etiki

Blow the flute at 49.5, 28.5 to summon Arei.

Commentaire de 115476

*GOOD TIP AFTER COMPLETING ESCORT QUEST*
Method 1

after you have escorted Arei to the road, the fastest way to kayneth stillwind ( quest completion NPC) would be to run back up to talonbranch glade, take the hippo back to emerald sanc then run south to ashenvale then east to kayneth cords are 85 44

method 2

Fly to ashenvale then run east to kayneth 85 44

Commentaire de 94208

This quest was fairly simple just like any other escort quest...solod on my 53 NE hunter

Commentaire de 113929

I have done this quest handed it in in forest song got my shoulders and still have the flute?

Need to go back and see if it can be used again or needs to be destroyed.

Commentaire de Cross88

The ancient also casts a spell called wither touch, which reduces the target's health by 10%.

Commentaire de 106514

Yeah, I've always hated any escort quests because the escortee always seems to aggro everything in sight and, amazingly, way far off mobs that wouldn't aggro if you set fire to their feet. This guy though was able to do some of the heavy lifting. We did aggro a few mobs, but I took most of the damage. He did tank well. Didn't really seem like he took any damage even as the tank. The kickers of this quest are the two ancient pi.ssed-off protectors that appear and want a piece of Arei.

But, as lvl 53 hunter, it was worth the effort. Scored like 10,000 something xp. Nice!

Commentaire de nihmue

I also noticed that when you have escorted Arei safely to the road and that part of the quest is finished, he will still help you kill mobs when you are fighting them close to him. Nice guy eh ;)

Commentaire de deathonabun

Quest is terrible to solo with a frost mage. Level 55 and I get ambushed by 3x frost immune elementals. Can't poly them, can't nova them, and can't slow them; I ended up tanking 2 of them and I have little over 2k hp. I was dead fairly quickly. Poor quest design for this class & spec.

Granted, it can probably be done if you pop your elemental and have him tank one (if he can even pull aggro with the mobs being immune to his attacks) and then icy veins and fireball down the one remaining mob before switching to either of the other two. Might be possible, but I didn't bother trying again.

Commentaire de Nightlydust

Use flute at confirmed location, 49, 29.

The big tree, Arei, spawned on my first try.
Nothing hostile spawns when you use the flute.

When you start the quest, Arei starts walking and stops two times during the escort where hostile mobs spawn 3 at a time. First when going over the river, and then at the end when you have reached the road.
Arei doesnt aggro everything at his path, and if you aggro anything first he doesnt care to stop up and help you out, so be careful. I found it easiest to just follow him around on my mount.

The flute also stays in your inventory after you deliver it in Forest Song. You have to delete it yourself.

Commentaire de Robmozs

It was ... kinda bugged for me. once summoned, he started to hit me, but once he was attacked by a bear, i could pick up the quest from him. then, along the way to "safety" he was hitting me all the way. such a friendly tree, i must say! (yeah, and by the way he was green)

Commentaire de 199844

I was able to start this quest without doing the flute quest first, im guessing sum one had already summond him but as a 57 ret pally this quest was compleatly easy and well worth the 10k exp to get me to 58 :D outlands here i come

Commentaire de 148668

If you don't have the second flight path in Ashenvale yest, the fastest way to get to the quest ender (yes, I know this is not a proper word) is to fly to Azshara then run back into Ashenvale, which works a lot better if you don't have your epic mount. After you get there, you can just fly out.

Commentaire de Raincloud

Does count towards the Kalimore achievement

Commentaire de anaamika

My experience - Arei aggros random mobs. Some were close enough to aggro but they seemed to ignore him, others were further away but still came running over to attack. Very weird. All in all, had to clear the following mobs in the process:
Irontree Stomper - 8
Toxic Horror - 3
Irontree Wanderer - 3
Withered Protector - 1

Keep in mind this is what I cleared. Might have been others Arei took care of while I had my hands full. In spite of the number of things I had to kill, this was one of the easiest escort quests I've done because of how capable Arei was of defending himself. Also, as others mentioned, huge amount of XP (10K+) is a definite bonus. Dinged 60 on completion :)

Commentaire de Sikon

Arei has a much smaller aggro radius than you (at a comparable level), so mobs can in fact walk right through him. Stay away from them yourself and kill the ones that he does aggro. All in all not a difficult quest apart from the final three treants, just time-consuming like most escort quests.

Commentaire de Reiknar

After returning to the game I was going back and tying up loose quest ends, this being one of them. Lvl 75 now and I got 1050 exp and 385 rep with Darnassus, no rep with any other factions.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Kayneth Stillwind Is at 85.44, got 7300 EXP @ lvl 53

Commentaire de Thottbot

Um, so, I did this, and turned the quest into the guy in Forest Song, but I still have the Flute...? Does another NPC want it back, (because I haven't found one yet that does), or am I supposed to throw it out?

I hate quests that leave behind items, it's to damn confusing. I wish Blizzard would have quest items always be taken back once the quest is complete so you don't have to worry and wonder.

Commentaire de Thottbot

85,44 is accurate!

not a very easy quest but soloable just let him fight and help him when he fights more then one.

And u can regen while he fights only one.
When gets to the road quest is complete.

7300 XP at lvl 54 for 5 min quest :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

I remember before when you had to escort him all the way to ashenvale, and you got jumped several times on the way. The hardest encounter was 4 Jadefire satyrs that pop up, including a couple of hellcallers.

The quest sure got gimped, now you just have to bring him to the road. Easy exp.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I soloed this escort quest lvl 51 warlock easy just take agroo let him fight one mob, when he is fighting trees on the way let him and your VW kill the mob while you are drinking. Then the fastes way to Forest song is to fly to Azshara from Felwood.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Only thing to add to the comments above. After you complete the quest take Azshara FP if you have it, much quicker than riding all the way to Forest Song!

And still got 7300 xp at 57 :)

The 3 Toxic horrors still appear at the beginning, btw

Commentaire de Thottbot

To start this quest chain you have to kill a satyr named Xavaric. He will drop the flute of Xavaric which starts the first quest in the series.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Level 54 Rogue compleated this on first try... without any bandaids or food (I didnt realize this was an escort quest when i tried it)

Very Simple Quest... you dont have to take him the whole way to ashenvale like i missread... you gotta take him to the road thats all... and then your attacked by 3 tree guys... pretty easy to slice down

Commentaire de Thottbot

I'm a 54 mage on Bloodfeather and did this yesterday when I was 53. I had absolutely no trouble with it. I did have to put up with an annoying 46 shaman on an egotrip. It is a bit hard on the manapool though, but a potion, evocation and mana stone solved that easily.

I got the quest from a drop, don't know of any other way to get it.

Commentaire de Thottbot

A 54 Rogue did fine on this quest, and I even died. The only difficult part if you have no heals is when the 3 elementals pop up. I died, and res'd not too far away, when I returned, he was still fighting the elementals. Finished them off, ate up, and continued. 3 treants come at the end, thus proving another semi-difficult part. Keep 2 on you, and one of them on him, you should do fine. Good luck, quest rewards good XP, and you may be able to use one of the items.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Ya, i thought this quest was kinda fun because the guy was huge! Just escort him to the road and you should finish it fine. The coordinates are correct on finding
Kayneth Stillwind in Forest Song in Ashenvale. (84, 44) apporx.

Was lvl 58 mage. soloed. easy. gained 7300xp from turn in :)

Good luck all!

Commentaire de Thottbot

I soloed this quest at lvl 50. I moastly wached him take out all the mobs. Easy :-D

Commentaire de Thottbot

To start:

1. Finish "Purified!" you will receive "Flute of the Ancients"

NOTE: Ancient Spirit will NOT be in your quest log.

2. Go to Felwood south of Ironwood Trees near ruins. Don't have exact co-ords, but quite easy from Felwood fp.

3. Blow flute and Arei appears. Speak with him and gain this quest.

4. Follow him while he fights everything in the path. He's quite strong. He only travels as far as the path (which takes 3 minutes).

Easy!

Commentaire de Thottbot

Ends at Kayneth Stillwind around 85,44 in ASHENVALE. For those without coords, it's east of the path leading to Azshara, at Forest Song.

Once you complete it, if your hearth is around the area, just hearth home and fly to azshara and walk to ashenvale. Bada bing bada boom.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Got 7300 xp at lvl 56 for this quest.

Commentaire de Thottbot

where does the guy start at?

Commentaire de Thottbot

The quest drops from a named mob that you have to kill in another quest, some demon creature name begins with X.

Was so surprised when I did this quest today, aint done it for well over 2 yrs ago and back then this was one of the longest if not THE longest escort quest in the game (bar prison break). You used to have to escort him all the way south to Ashenvale, went a pleasant surprise to see it had been nerfed and u only have to lead him to the road now. Oh and it was extremely easy for 55 rogue, that big trees makes a good tank

Commentaire de Thottbot

Once you complete the quest chain that leads to this one, ride into irontree woods and find the ruins to the east, blow the flute at the statue of an elf in there and arei will appear, talk to him to start the quest, he will take the longest and hardest path out of there - obviously - and clearing the path is advisable if you know it already.

I soloed this as a warlock @ lvl 53 (quest was orange), it's especially easy as a lock since you can banish or fear all the mobs that will show up, this gives you time to mana up and such.

you need to watch for the poisons the water elementals will put on you, your pet and arei, they can and will stack up and last quite a while. If you can heal, heal him and if you can, cleanse the poison off him and let him do the work. The poisons will take him down quickly if you're not careful.

when he crosses the stream 3 elementals will spawn and attack him, and once you reach the road 3 treants will spawn, once the treants are down he feels better and the quest is finished, follow the above advice for turning in!

Commentaire de Thottbot

One mor suggestion: stay close to him (but not too close to get aggro). When you are to far away, you can easilly get the message Quest Failed (as I did twice).

Commentaire de Thottbot

Can you get rid of flute when your done? Still in inventory after escourt complete and still there after talking to guy in forestsong woods... Screw it; I'm tossing the flute!

Commentaire de Thottbot

I can confirm that the quest is SIGNIFICANTLY faster and easier than it was a couple years ago when I tried it last time. Got 7300xp at level 61. Also for me using the flute near the statue didn't work - it only summoned some wondering tree spirits. However when I used the flute near the outer gate, it worked perfectly.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Did this quest on my druid at 53. Quite easy. I just remained stealthed and under him and only came out to help if he had more than one mob on him. Someone was saying something about how he aggros everything? I distinctly remember, when I was doing it, that he walked THROUGH some of the aggressive tree mobs and didn't fight them. A simple and fun quest, especially when you and him team up to kick some BElf rogue's butt. ;) I think this quest is aimed more at feral druids and rogues than anyone else because its so easy if you can stealth and its got that awesome shoulder reward.

Commentaire de Thottbot

10550 xp after 2.3 @ lvl 56 for this turn in, quest line is definately worth it.

Also if you dont have it, theres a fp right where the turn in is in forest song in ashenvale,(coords 85,45 right above the quest turn in.)

If not, as mentioned above the fp from Azshara is much quicker than the Astranaar fp. (Most have this fp from doing the class quest at 50.)

If you haven't done the class quest, check into it because it usually has a very nice reward for your class usefull well into your 60's.(obtainable via your class trainer.)

Commentaire de Thottbot

ok so i was doing the quest, and when i got to the road i killed the 3 guys that appear, but i died to, it didnt say i failed, and when i rezzed he was gone, i tried summoning him again he said he feels free, so i tried turning it in but i couldnt....should i just abandoned and restart, or is there something simpler then that?

Commentaire de Thottbot

As of patch 2.3 you only have to escort him north and west to the road. when he gets there he turns into a physical tree and the quest completes.

Fly to Azshara

Walk to the elf in Northeast Ashenvale

Easy

Commentaire de Thottbot

85,44 Confirmed is where kayneth stillwind is located, i am 59 warlock, i received 10550 experience, and 385 reputation with Darnassus. For the people who don't have coordinates its just North east of Satyrnaar (Ashenvale) Horde place, It's rearlly close

Commentaire de Thottbot

Why is everyone saying to fly to different locations? The quest is handed in in Forest song, which has its' own FP and if you made it this far south in Kalimdor to begin with, then you souod have this FP. Horde, on the other hand, will not.

Commentaire de Thottbot

very easy and got 10550 exp

Commentaire de Thottbot

Man this quest is easy. I got 10550 exp as a lv 57 warrior. co 85:44

Commentaire de Thottbot

Well i'm not sure if things have changed with this quest as i just done it as a solo lv56 Rogue....

On the trip we had over 12 fights 3 with single horrors 1 with 3 x horrors together and fought at least 6 trees...Then at the road 3 of the trees as everyone else has been saying

It wasnt very hard hard but was quite difficult and had to use a healing pot with when fighting the 3 horrors together...

Perhaps i prepered wrong and should of killed everything before i started but i never so....;)

Pretty easy for a lvl49 hunter. Did it alone and I managed to kill all the mobs. Fun Q! ^^ (Did it for the exp) :P

Btw, I don't know the name of the mod (got 180 mod folders so) but when I target him, he gets attacked. I use a attack spell on him like autoshoot and it autotargets the thing he targets. An easy /assist function. Hehe (that helped me to take agro with my pet :P)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Once you have the flute, travel to the Ruins in northwestern Felwood (Coord: 49,27). To use the flute you have to actually get near stuff that looks like ruins (stone columns, etc.). At this point, it turns into an escort quest. You have to kill ironwood stompers (lvl 42 mobs) until you get to the main path. When you get to the main path you have to kill three of them at once, so while health shouldn't be an issue, make sure you are healed when you get the main road. Aside from this, this quest is extremly easy. Soloed as a lvl 54 warrior.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just solo'd as 53 hunter. Walked him up to the road. Took me two tries (hard to keep the mobs off him), then he just vanished without saying anything. I thought it had failed, but when i went back to summon him again with the flute, it said he "finally felt free." Then a level 60 horde charged him, hit him, turned on his pvp, and then I killed him. Ha.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This quest takes about half an hour to do.... Really long... I hate this quest

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Even with the shortened quest, I keep getting to road and having Horde geeks attack the mob. Have killed them a few times (even though I am not PvP), and gotten killed back. Next horde geek that does this will be killed, and I will stand over the corpse to kill them over and over when they rez.

Hint to Blizz developers: if PvP is shut off, players from the opposing faction should not be able to kill your quest mobs and force you into PvP. Not everyone who plays Horde is a geek, nor is every Alliance player a non-geek.

Easily soloable did as 55 hunt

Commentaire de Allakhazam

55 fire mage grouped with a 53 demon lock and we did it without a problem.

To turn in is in Forest Song in Ashenvale, just north of Warsong Lumber Camp. I remember visiting this place over a year ago on one of my older toons, and I come there now (fly to Azshara is the fastest!) to find out there is a flight path there now. So check to make sure you don't already have it... and if you don't, then fly to Azshara and run west and don't forget to pick up the flight path that is apparently new.

I had no problems whatsoever with this quest on my own(56 mage). I met a horde warrior on the way to Ashenvale but he seemed to know the quest and didnt want me put throught horrible suffering of having to do it again, so he spared me. The mobs were not difficult and Arei is decent fighter himself.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

i did the quest really easy, but on the way an undead lock came and killed the tree, i had him dead like 5 times but he kept fearing me while eating and drinking. but anyways, easy solo

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Soloed as a 49 warlock, use voidwalker and stay behind the giant, he can hold his own. Most of the mobs are 53 or below and shouldn't resist your spells too much. When 3 mobs are aggroed at once, put voidy on one, let treeboy take care of another and finish the 3rd yourself, at the last bit I had to fear the last add and bandage the giant but it worked out fine. Used 2 night dragon's breath, 1 superior mana pot and a lot of drain llife but it was't that hard.

personally i gotta say the reward made it justified. I am used to 5k experience quests with little to no loot and this was 7200k xp with some decent loot. It only took me two runs with a 5 man group *first time i lagged behind*

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just did this today solo (58 Warrior) to clean out my quest log.

Never had an issue with his not wanting to help in combat. I just basically held back, waited for him to aggro something then charged in to help. It got real close at the Jadefire point but having Demonslay on my axe helped out and I was able to keep the demons on me thanks to Cleave.

He stopped just outside of Felwood and said to leave him be to rest in piece. I then ran to the NE part of Ashenvale to finish the quest.

On a whim I headed over to Azshara to catch the FP back, killed a Highborne Apparition and got the Enchant Shield - Stamina (+5) which I did not have.

All said good afternoon of questing for me. =)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This is one of the more annoying/frustrating quests in the game that I'm aware of. You are forced to walk from Irontree Woods the entire length of Felwood to Ashenvale and you'll find yourself frequently having to defend him from mobs. There is one triggered ambush after you get past Jadenar with 5-6 Jadefire demons, but aside from that, the main difficulty is the behaviour of Arei.

Sometimes he will blissfully just trudge along after taking a swing or two at a mob that he's aggroed and there's a ~very~ narrow margin for failure in regards to how far ahead of you he can get. If he does this at the Jadefire ambush you're probably going to fail the mission.

The rewards aren't even that good, but at least you get a "greatly increased" reputation change with Darnassus.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Ok, first off:

If you have a friend, who still has the flute of the Satyr, ask him to summon Arei for you.
This will save you some time.
But be aware: If you do the prequests, you will get a nice amount of XP.

Once you got the flute and so on, you have to travel between Darnassus and Felwood.
Pretty annoying.

Anyway.
If your flute is all done to summon Arei, do so.
It's really darn easy after 1.9.
I would say, he could barely stand this on his own. But you should better help him.
At the end of this quest, 3 mobs will spawn.
Easy to kill, but have a look at Areis' HP.

The shoulders are neat.
They look cool, too.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

You can do solo this is VERY VERY easy if you are 50 +

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Wow, this quest is SO much easier than it used to be. The first time I did this quest I had to escort Arei all the way to the Ashenvale border and something like 3 or 4 sets of trees attacked us.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

As of patch 1.9 you no longer have to escort AREI all the way south to ashenvale. you simply follow him to the road close by and 3 small trees spawn. kill them and the quest is done. then you head to Kayneth Stillwind, a druid that resides in Forest Song(in ashenvale)to the east

Commentaire de Allakhazam

even if u are lvl 56, bring a friend with you, healer prefered. It's not only the mobs you need to worry about, but attacks from other faction. I was helping my lvl 56 warlock friend with my 54 pally, it was tough but we pulled it off. Rememeber to have the healer to heal Arei from time to time.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

on cracked servers there isn't a lvl limit to quest giving things, so i have already done the quest but i don't know wich reward is better. Probably the shoulders for my rogue.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The first time I died, I didn't stay close enough to Arei. I was fighting one enemy and Arei just kept walking. When Arei got about 50 yards away, I got the message that the mission failed.

The second time I died was at the Jadenar/Satyr point. I had thought that a player coming out of Jadenar had attracted all of them to the main road; but, from reading posts here, that's not the case.

I guess I'll have to bring one or two reinforcements with me.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Solo-ed this at 57 lock.
U can do some cleaning of mobs before you start. Most trouble are those fire elementals. The tree stompers etc. don't give a lot of trouble and the Spirit can take care of it. Void is useful and can hold aggro quite nicely with the Trees etc. (and fear works nicely as well). It is a short walk to the road. Decent XP. I would pick it up if you got some time and are in Felwood anyway...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

At level 60 I finally got around to finishing up a bunch of green and yellow quests left from Felwood. This was one of them, and upon completion, even at level 60 I got the same 7300 XP that the prior poster says he got at 54. I've noticed this with many other quests as well: five or six levels difference, same XP (and, of course, same faction rep).

Oh, and I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere: The fastest way to get to the quest turn-in contact is to fly into Azshara (Talrendis Point) and ride the short distance to Kayneth Stillwind at Skysong. DON'T ride all the way from Astranaar (like I stupidly did) if you can avoid it!

Follow him while he fights everything in the path. He's quite strong. He only travels as far as the path (which takes 3 minutes)

You can also choose to NOT complete this quest. This way you get to keep Flûte des anciens and start the escort quest over and over again. Everytime you start the escort, there are 3 additional toxic horror spawns for water essence farming.

Requires Flûte des anciens from quest Purifié !.

Use flute at 50,31 near the statue in the ruins.

If Arei doesn't spawn, he could be sitting at 50,15 from the last escort. Wait for spirits to despawn and try to use the flute again.

Arei spawns at 50,30 and walks around the Iron Tree woods until reaching the road.

At 50,26 3 Toxic Horror's spawn.

At 50,15 3 Iron Tree Stompers spawn.

Overall, pretty easy. He can solo an Irontree Stomper on his own so easy to kill 2 then the third.

Do not complete this quest! You can keep repeating it to spawn 3 toxic horrors and letting the quest fail, which is very useful for farming.

The elementals around the pools in Irontree Woods are farmed a lot by both factions. Even on Normal server, Arei is flagged for PvP. While, you can fight the Horde if they attack him, if they are 60 and you're 56, probably not going to go well. I just abandoned after the second time Arei was killed.

Does not have a pre-requisite: Purifié ! is only needed to summon the NPC that starts the quest.

Thought I'd be clever and clear the area ahead of time. The problem is that Arei wanders all over the place, including through a bunch of flaming wahoos (or whatever they are) that are tough for a frosty to kill, but arcane spells made the difference. Then there were the trees. Dozens of them. Easy to kill but by the time you've killed the 24th, the first has respawned. Oh well, cranked up Arei and off we went. All the flamers had respawned. All the trees had respawned. They had all invited their brothers and sisters, cousins, neighbors and random strange creatures to the party. I lost count at about 217. Arei is pretty tough but it was such a slogfest, I felt like I'd be there for the whole weekend and that doesn't even count trying to fight off hordes of unmentionables when you're trying to recharge. Not a good quest for any kind of mage, even with that fun spell Arcane Explosion.

Of course Arei died with about 45 creatures jumping up and down on him. I barely managed to escape fleeing backwards through the path of minor devastation and corpses we had passed through, some of which had already respawned. But I wondered - what's the difference between doing this quest or just farming all these creatures for as long or as little as you choose? You could pick your targets, not aggro dozens of random trash mobs, refuel at leisure, have a little tea at 4 PM and something more interesting at 6 PM, without all the stress, while still picking up a lot of XP (I sure did!) without all the agita. Sure, there's some XP at the end of the quest but the rewards are misaligned and getting there just isn't much... fun.

Maybe I'm getting too picky. I admit, my uber Afflock could have killed everything in the zone in less time. Your mileage may vary but this is a tough slog for mages.

So this quest appears to be bugged, I can use the flute to spawn Arei who has the yellow exclamation mark above his head but when I interact with him, nothing happens. I have moved out of the area, come back and still nothing when I interact with him.

Commentaire de Shioban

In SOD at level 50 there are prerequisites before Purified!

First you have to go get the Flute of Xavaric that gets you the quest Flute of Xavaric when you're done with that you'll get Felbound Ancients after you've delivered that you'll be able to pick up Purified!

I've done this now on 2 druids and now on it with my rogue, there's no other way than getting to Purified! that leads to the this page's quest. (doing it for the shoulders)

	Aider Arei à se rendre en lieu sûr (1)

Description

Gangrebois était autrefois une terre paisible et sereine... jusqu'à l'arrivée de la Légion. Les infernaux, la destruction, le chaos...

Le crâne de Gul'dan s'est assuré que personne ne soit épargné, ici. Tous succombèrent à la corruption.

Même à présent, en tant qu'esprit, je me sens emprisonné, et j'ai le sentiment de porter toute la souffrance de cette terre. Aidez-moi à rentrer chez moi. Je vous en prie, <nom>, dites-moi que vous mènerez un esprit ancien hors de cet endroit, pour que je puisse enfin trouver le repos.

Quand je serai libre, cherchez un druide du nom de Kayneth Mortebrise, qui réside au Chant des forêts, à l'est.
