One of the easier escorts in the game, you'll never have to fight more than two mobs, nor will a wave of quest mobs spawn to attack you at any time. Don't really need to pre clear anything, she'll only agro, in most cases, 1 mob at a time.

Comment by Hazelluna

However if you have pet/demon and they aggro things she will run all over the place to "help" you kill the aggressors. On the upside this new smarter AI allows you to heal her and she does not "skip" over agression that happens to your character.
My advice, bring a friend, walk behind her, and get the pet in neutral mode (esp if it is a Warp Stalker).

Comment by Havah

Actually I got three of them on me at the same time. But that was just because I had some bad luck with the patrols. You could walk in front of her to single pull the mobs if you have any ranged attack.

ALso, she takes a small break after each kill, even if you pull, so that gives you some rest time to drink, eat, bandage or whatever.

Very easy quest to solo.

Comment by dmaster

Unlike most escort quests... this one does not spawn mobs.

If the place is camped by other players, you may not have to fight anything but the 2 mobs at the entrance to the area. There were 3 other people around when I did this quest, and they had the entire route cleared in advance and I didn't have to fight anything until the end of the quest.

Very very easy!

If this place is being over farmed and you are lucky with the pats, you can complete this quest without killing a single mob.

except some other gang you :P

As a lvl 64 Fire Mage I did this without breaking a sweat..

I had 2 mobs nearly all the time, but with polymorph it was very easy.
I only had 3 mobs one time, but the NPC roots one and hits another and with the 3rd mob poly'ed it was easy.

Have fun.. and btw, the staff sells best :) should you not need any of the rewards.

Comment by vexis58

There's no way this is a 2-person quest (this new "group" quest classification isn't working for me). She stands and waits for you to get ready before leaving the building. She walks along a path through an area that's usually farmed and mostly clear of mobs anyway. After each battle, she waits a little for you to be ready. Got to be the easiest escort quest in the game -- not even any scripted mob spawns!

Though I was annoyed at her tendency to cast roots and moonfire on nearby mobs that were attacking her. A couple times she aggroed two and I tried to put one in a frost trap, she instantly moonfired it and broke my trap. Grr.

easy peasy quest! nothing that should be hard for anny class or level over 62. did it on my 61(fullepic) rouge used all my CC and its a cake quest.

Comment by 44004

I soloed this as a lvl 64 shaman, it's really easy. You have to fight 2 lvl 63-64 mobs at the same time during the "hardest" part.

the q is easy just follow Isla Starmane the locked NPC and dont let her die till she gets outh from the fierwing point

Comment by 68312

This is a VERY different quest these days than it was when BC first opened up and the place was being camped like crazy. Now, with the density of mobs and a 'normal' number of players around, it's damned hard to get very far down the path without getting mugged by 3, 4, or often more mobs that just happen to be standing close enough to aggro as she walks by -- not patrols -- just folks who are stationed close enough to be a problem.

The trick is definitely to sit back and follow her at a short distance, letting only the stuff she aggros be your problem. She will aggro a couple triplets here and there, but they're manageable. What will kill her and you is trying to run ahead and clear the path -- she won't help, and she'll pull aggro you didn't see while you're already in another fight.

Comment by 76351

this is very easy for me a priest, and possibly rogues too with distract.

All you need to do is simply mind soothe nearby mobs before she walks near them. You should not agro any mobs at all, besides the inevitable patrols on the roads. I just had to kill a couple of mobs. Easy quest.

Sometimes when one of them aggros, and she fights near a group, remember to keep them all mind soothed while fighting, if not more aggro will come.

Found in the building furthest to the north east in the camp at 73.35.

Comment by vixis

This has become even more difficult, for reasons other than Doyce stated above...

Patch 2.2 came with the patch note "Firewing Warlocks are now less likely to engage in melee combat." This causes a couple problems.

1) You can no longer pull them seperately as a melee class, since they will cast instead of run to you. Instead, you have to run to them, and since they are 90% of the time in pairs, you will have to fight two of them.

2) If Isla encounters a patrol, but only takes a couple hits from it, and she also happens to agro a Warlock at the same time, the Shadowbolt from the Warlock will cause her to agro on it, thus agroing that Warlocks teamate. Now she has 2 mobs on her, and if either of the Warlocks runs, you can easily have 3-4 mobs to fight at the same time.

Basically I can only suggest you actually do this with one other person if possible.

Comment by mdfrancois

After 2.3, this seems quite difficult to solo, as she pulls all the warlocks in the middle (or else I had very bad luck). Bring a friend.

Comment by 106886

CLEAR THE CAMP before you do this quest.
If you don't, she'll end up pulling about 5 mobs about halfway to the exit, she pulls one warlock, then the other, then 3 of the ones in the middle and dies.

This is the stupidest NPC in TBC

Comment by ArgentSun

If you think she is the lamest druid you've ever seen - you are probably right.
She does Moonfire, Wrath and Entangling Roots. Low damage and she's a complete squishy.

Solo'd with a 65 protection paladin, but the warlocks were true pain. She can aggro as many as 4 of them at the same time, and sometimes she considers the fight done and continues walking, while you are still sweating over the casters. To make things even more amusing, she disappeared just before I was to be done (2 Broodwarders left), so I had to start all over again.
As a tip, if you fight more than 2 mobs, let her play with one - warlock preferably. She will root him occasionally, so he won't run away. Be ready to heal her though.
Another tip, if you see that she will bump into patrol and warlocks, run ahead and aggro only one of those. She will help you, and then run back to her former destination (as other escorts), but you might fight a few less mobs.

Comment by Shockna

Warning!

If an opposite faction takes this quest before you do, be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes (And counting) before she respawns in the cage.

Comment by 170909

Is it just me, or does anyone else think it's weird that this quest doesn't reward you with Cenarion Expedition rep?

Comment by 195419

This quest is quite easy (2.4) as a rogue.
With the tips from above to walk before her (far before). And time things right, you can do it without any problems.
At the circle, Just make sure you sap the warlocks in time, and if possible without aggroing the sapped if you attack the other. Else you have to attack the 2nd warlock as well. Without aggro you don't have to attack.
Else you might want to use vanish at some points to lose the aggro (the druid doesn't attack sapped ones).
If you have preparation, you will probably use it to lose aggro. (vanish)

p.s. be careful for runner warlocks. don't let them get away and aggro more

Comment by Cotytto

Level 65 hunter.Couldn't do this quest and quit after multiple deaths.The NPC has a huge aggro radius,and walks her way through enemy territory.Makes me wish I could kill the escortee!

Also as a side note,the twit will say "<cough> <cough> Damsel in distress over here!" if you take some time after clearing her guards to drink.

If she wasn't so dang stupid aggroing everything anywhere near her getting herself mobbed by warlocks,she might actually get her sorry butt saved!

Also the respawn as stated is absurdly fast.You fail she dies and you manage to survive,by the time she gets her crap in gear,they're back.No clearing the way ahead of time on this quest!

If you want to do it bring a friend (or two) if you want to bother with it at all.

Besides the rewards are junk,excepting maybe the staff.If you did most of the quests in Zangarmarsh,you'll likely have better weapons.

Solo'd this quest as a level 65 mage, wasn't too hard to do.

Comment by snuzzle

I've solo'd this numerous times, but for some reason tonight she decided to be a true pain and aggro every single warlock in the center circle 2 by 2. She rooted the mobs so I couldn't AoE them, then just ran up to them and melee'd. It was like running the noobiest noob through WC. Just painful.

Comment by gazhkull

They have a dozen fraps of this NPC's pathetic escape attempts during this quest which are shown to new trainees in the Cenarion Academy for Druids in Moonglade as a warning:

- You have easy escape abilities by shapeshifting into travel form or cat form (abilities every other druid on the planet has by that level). Not walking slowly through the valley of warlocks aggroing everybody with moonfire and daring them to test your leather armor's defense bonus.

- You are children of the wild, masters of nature, but please learn to read a goddamn map to figure out that the quickest way out of that place is wading across the nearby river in 20 seconds.

- You can kill mobs at a distance with spells. You can (easily) kill mobs up close in bear or cat form. But moonfiring a mob to annoy him (and all his nearby mates) and running up to it to beat on them with your fists in caster form is really, really stupid.

- Walking away to moonfire aggro more mobs while your protector is still in combat at low health doing his damndest to save you is not really a good way to endear people to the Cenarion faction.

66 Feral Druid here. Wasn't THAT bad. You really need some good CC or you can easily become overwhelmed. At one point I had 4 warlocks and a bloodwarden on me and her. She got to within 5% of her health before I healed her up. Anyways, it's inevitable you will have at least 5 mobs on you at least once during this escort, by no fault of your own mind you. The mobs themselves don't hit too hard however, the shadowbolts from the warlocks can become very painful if you have 4 firing on you at once. That said, keep as many in melee range as possible and take them out first. Don't worry to much about the melee mobs as they can be taken out last with relative ease. Don't clear the place first, as many have suggested; you'll just end up with unnecessary re-spawns on you.

Though many have said how "unintelligent" this druid is, which I agree with really, the best part is when she shifts into travel form when you complete the quest...like seriously...wish she'd been around when I blew that mana bomb up later.

Comment by taurenmoo812

This quest can be hard or easy depending purely on what class you play.

As a lv64 combat rogue I found it kind of standard, but having done it before knew what to expect.

1: I killed some of the warlocks on the path leading out of the point. Your likely to get respawns because of the time it takes for her to walk.
2: She will not agro a mob unless it agros her first, so if you can sap a mob ahead of her she will walk past it.
3: She will not come help you if you are agroing a mob but walk past it, so if you see a mob ahead kill it first
4: Be careful of the warlocks as they run away at around 20% health, and can agro the warlocks around the central bomb and pull more.

She doesn't have much health and can be overwelmed easily.

Comment by 68528

This quest bugged when I picked it up today - I accepted it but she didn't open the door of her cage, just stood there saying "are you going to help me?". Abandoned and re-accepted and it worked fine.

Comment by TorachiKatashi

Completed this quest, on the fourth try, as a lvl 67 Hunter.

I hate escourt quests in general, but this one is easily the most frustrating one I've come across so far. The NPC can hardly take any hits (compared to some escourts where the NPC can easily solo a mob on their own), is slow as cold molasses, and just... I don't even know how to describe how she aggros. Sometimes, she'll aggro one or two and it'll go fine, then sometimes she'll start running around and end up aggroing eight or nine. She's one of these stupid f--king escourts who likes to completely ignore the fact that you're fighting something and keep walking. Her favourite thing to do is run around and aggro as many of the Warlocks surrounding the center as she can. My best advice is to do what I did on my third try - take out as many of those guys as you can, then immediately run back to where you started the quest and heal/mana up (and kill the respawns on that floor of the building) while you wait for her respawn. If you do it fast enough, those Warlocks won't have respawned by the time you pass there again.

Honestly, though, unless you have a whole lot of time and patience to waste and want one of the quest rewards, I wouldn't even bother. By the fourth try, I was just doing it for kicks to see how many tries it would really take.

For priest: Mind Soothe works for the druid too. I avoid most of the mobs with it.

Comment by LordB

Just solo'd on a level 64 hunter on the first go. Definitely not an easy escort, things get pretty hairy when Isla walks past the middle circle. Just have to be on your toes and quick with your pet/traps/feign death if needed.. all your tricks, if need be.

Walk her out to just past the entry arches and you'll get the complete after a few seconds.

On another note, she changes into druid cat form and runs to the sign post down the road before she disappears if anybody likes to know those little things :P

Comment by Prebez

The dumb tart should have changed to kitty right from the start!

Comment by Ainhin

"OH NOW YOU RUN!" - Me after I got credit for escorting her out. Way to walk the WHOLE time!

Comment by Tjeerdtq

Isla Starmane is at 73.8, 35.2 in a cage. When the cage is empty om some is already on the escort quest. Just wait.

Comment by Wyr3d

Lotta posts saying this is difficult regarding the mobs in the area, and how she stupidly agros all of them, but this can be avoided (for the most part) by blitzing them all on the way in. Their respawn time isn't that quick, so you can clear them all, and have to fight maybe a handful of respawns as you escort her out - and only then coz the slow ass ^&*!@ takes forever to move her ass.

Another point you should be wary of though: On my run through, she not only aggro'd a couple of warlocks for me to take down, but then proceeded to vanish into thin air only to reappear as a corpse in the centre warlock circle. Still have no idea why that happen, maybe the dumb elf triggered the mana bomb?

Anyways, if (when) you fail the first time, you don't have to abandon the quest - simply wait for her to respawn, and accept it again. No point ranking up an abandon if you don't need to, and these escort quests all allow for that inevitable issue.
