It's just to the west of the Undercity, along the road. There's a giant statue thing made of hay. Run up to the statue, then run away.

Where do you get the quest?

Comment by Doranos

When you go there watch out as there are 3 elite abomination guards that can and will one shot a lower level character. You also will have horde hanging out around the area. Use and talents you have to rush through the area as fast as possible. Those guards also make trips to the Scarlet Monastery a pain.

Just head west of undercity, and there is a big 'Wickerman' there.... walk near it and u'll discover it, then simply run back to Southshore

I found it just to the west of Undercity ... be careful as a lvl41 shadowpriest I died in 1 hit!

Ok, come up on the west side of the undercity from lordamere lake. You'll see the burning wickerman long before you get anywhere near aggro radius. Here's the tough part, it requires split second timing b/c as far as I've seen, the wicker guardians stun with every hit. So anywho, you run as close to the undercity as the terrain will let you. You'll see a fallen log up ahead. You want to be on the right side of the fallen log. Run up on the right side of the log, and you'll aggro the first guard. Don't stop! Right before you get to the end of the log, leap over the end and head thru the wickerman's legs. Immediately bang a left, and you should be headed back down the road. You'll have aggroed all the guards, but they won't be able to catch you if you do it right.

went to it as a level 60 druid and wanted a challenge took 24 minutes to kill one of those damned guardians 50000+hp and does 1500+ damage They drop no items but leave behind wickermans ashes which u can use to get a free buff "invocation of the wickerman" +25% mana and health regen and +25% stamina. lasts for 2 hrs

Spuy767 has a good idea - come in from the lake and alongside the wall. My 32 Mage got the Quest Completed text before I even got very close to the Wicker Man. At that point I managed to aggro an abomination, who sent me to the Tombstone Tavern with one hit. But 6600XP, 90S and some Halloween candy (turns you into a ghost for 15 minutes) made it worthwhile. My repair bill was only about 5S.

Comment by Thottbot

I think this one is easy for pretty much anyone. Run as close to the burning Wickerman as possible. Let them kill you and stand right up against it when you rez. You will complete the quest, die and rez again, then head back to Southshore to turn it in. The alliance sleeps safer this night.

Comment by Allakhazam

easy quest for the exp involved. just run up as close as you can, die, rez get 'complete' from quest log, die, rez at cemetary and go to Scarlet Monastery and get your ass beat.LOL

So I did the quest on 11/2... but trucked it back to Southshore and the dude (Sgt. Hartman?) wasn't there. So now what? Is he somewhere else on the map? Will he reappear during the next seasonal event (like the Christmas stuff)? Or am i just screwed?

Comment by Allakhazam

Attainable at level 25 according to other sources.

Comment by Allakhazam

HA! Did it without dying as a 32 rogue.

Come from the lake side S of Undercity. 55.69 is right location. Stealth, slowly sneak up against dirt wall beside Undercity. Watch the elite guard as you move slowly toward the wicker statue. The second you see the elite guarding come at you, go out of stealth and sprint. Run along wall just past the fallen tree, hook left, and run through wicker statue, then hook left and run back the way you came. I didn't get touched at all.

Comment by Allakhazam

I got 6600 exp for a 10 minute walk and a death, way worth it, If your not doing sm just set your hearth to southshore and its a quick 6600 exp , Im only level 33 btw. Sure i died but once i saw the 6600 i was like wow.

Comment by Allakhazam

The guards hit hard. Just ran pass that area (you'll see a giant hay statue on fire) and you'll get the quest completed. Though, I aggro'ed one of the guards, dismounted, feigh, and mounted back to SS.

I just ran up to the wickerman and got completed, the guards aggro'd, I didn't take a single hit. Was in travel farm though.

Comment by Allakhazam

Did it at lvl29 as follows: run towards the statue > die > ress right next to the statue > die > ress at the graveyard

Comment by Allakhazam

Mounted I hugged the wall then galloped behind the statue, gained aggro but just kept riding.

Comment by Allakhazam

I rode up there, ran straight into Wickerman Festival, and then it said I completed it. I don't know if I was just lucky but I got no agro at all.

Comment by Allakhazam

It was funny because I had been playing with my rogue on another server around the Undercity ... and then logging in with the NE druid I've noticed the quest and headed right away.

If you don't have map coordinates & never been to Scarlet Monastery, from southsore you have to go to Alterac Mountains past Lordamere Lake & Undercity and you'll find it on the left road next to Undercity (while looking on the map).

Those two 60 elites have uhm blocked the way to SM, as we tried reaching it by several methods but failed (they seem to aggro from a considerable distance)

Comment by Allakhazam

6600xp here also :D

Comment by Allakhazam

6600 XP at lvl 35 !

Comment by Allakhazam

heres what i did with my 31 rouge. there are two ways:
1.come up via the lake and swing around towards the entrance to undercity and take the patch of groud that surround the city and walk all the way around to wicker man. jump right on to the wicker man keeprunning back towards the lake.

or

2. same exact thing execpt die by the wickeman and as a ghost go to where i said above and revive up there the mobs can t see you and do that.

Comment by Allakhazam

What is to be done? Do you just run around past the guards a bit or do you have to kill one or touch something for this quest to complete?

Comment by renrag760

Abomination hit me for over 2400 xp to 1-shot me.

Comment by ErmahgerdLulz

Took some screenshots and merged them into a single image to guide anyone to an easy 6000+ xp

For anyone doing this in WOTLK classic, if you started the breadcrumb quests to but haven't completed the "Battle for Undercity" quest line you will be phased and won't get credit for the quest. Hope this saves others some time.

Crashing the Wickerman Festival

Locate the Forsaken's Wickerman Festival in Tirisfal Glade. Return to Sergeant Hartman in Southshore once you've done so.

	Explore Zone (1)
	Scout out the Forsaken's Wickerman Festival. (1)

Description

I need brave individuals to head up to Tirisfal Glade and check out the Wickerman Festival. I'm not going to lie - heading up there will be dangerous. The guards at the festival will be exceptionally vicious. Still, we need to know how big the festival is this year, and how much trouble the Forsaken are going to cause us during Hallow's End.

If you're up for it, head to Tirisfal and scout out the festival. Return to me with the information, and I'll make sure you're well compensated.
