I'm guessing this is the Horde counterpart to the quest 'The missing diplomat'

loved the quest, nice rewards as in exp and vendor trash.

It's possible that the pendant belongs to Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind.

People who like to explore are going to get well-rewarded when they find the start of this chain.

Oddly enough, in one PTR patch this quest was bugged and subsequently got pushed to live realms. One of the rewards for the quest was accidently https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/item=19016 - this was long before anyone else had done the actual thing. The Vessel of Rebirth was used to summon Thunderaan and obtain https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/item=19019.

I am unable to pick up this quest. I have all the previous quests complete. Lvl 51 BE Mage. I am thinking there is another quest i have to do to unlock this one. Any Suggestions?

Comment by 65430

The reputation for this is incorrect -- it gives only 350 Orgrimmar Rep.

Comment by Discombobulator

This counts for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

This story together with the rest of the Varian Wrynn is perhaps one of the best ingame stories in WoW. Long ago I remember doing the missing diplomat questline on Alliance and never really got the hang of which guy there were all talking about all the time. But with hints and tips, reading and especially some time it finally came. I advice to you all to look it up. Especially now that we horde got some cool facts here in this questline! Well done Blizzard!

Ps. Anyone figured out why the orcs head was buried at Jarls house in some dirt?

Comment by Thottbot

lol, i was walking past this guy the other day, i was lvl 52, bored and just clicking everyone...clicked him and gave me the option to choose a blue ring and get 1g 50s in reward money...he didnt even have a exclamation mark above his head. No idea how i got this quest but now i have a new ring :D

Comment by Thottbot

I believe this quest is a part of the quest Marg Speaks

Comment by Thottbot

is this a chain quest or what i can't talk to the guy to get this

Comment by Thottbot

Yes, this is part of a quest chain.

To start it off, go to the garden next to "Swamp Eye" Jarl (https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/npc=4792/swamp-eye-jarl): you should get a gear when you mouse over the dirt. Dig through the dirt, and you'll pick up a "Spy's Report", which starts a quest: https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1238/the-lost-report. All you have to do is bring the report to a guy in Brackenwall. The questline will appear to end here, as you are not told to do anything else, but read on!

Go -back- to Jarl's garden, and you should be able to dig through the dirt again (it won't work if you haven't turned in the Spy Report yet). This time you'll get a "Defiant Orc Head", which starts another quest: https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1261/marg-speaks. You'll take the head back to the same guy in Brackenwall, who will then send you to a troll in Grom'gol. The questline again appears to end.

After giving the head to the troll, the cauldron will have an exclamation point over it (well, if you're not too high level: the exclamation point won't show up if the quest is gray to you, and you'll have to right-click on the cauldron to see that it offers a quest now). The orc head talks to you and will give you the next stage of the questline: https://www.cuckhead.com/wotlk/quest=1261/marg-speaks

Marg's quest sends you to kill makruras in southeastern Dustwallow (southern end of the bay) until you get a pendant. Once you've got the pendant, bring it to the guy at Brackenwall. HE will then send you to Zor Lonetree in Orgrimmar (he's in the Valley of Wisdom, inside Grommash Hold). Zor Lonetree will finish the quest, and yet again, the questline appears to end.

NOW click on Zor Lonetree again, and he will give you this final stage of the quest. All you have to do is accept it and he'll give you a choice of these two blue rings. The catch is, he won't automatically give you this quest the instant you turn in the previous one (unlike in most quest chains): you must choose to talk to him again. If you're the right level, he should have a yellow exclamation point, but by the time you've gone through this whole chain, it has likely turned gray for you, lol, so the exclamation point won't show up. I suspect that this is what happened to x3la =D

As far as I can tell, this IS the final stage of the quest chain :D

EDIT: As has been pointed out, these are nice rings, so it might be worthwhile to finish out the quest even if it's turned gray for you--they could still be an upgrade.

This is a series of quests that starts when you find a grave north of witch hill I believe, near the cabin occupied by a human (npc) The quest is called the Lost report. And it will take you intercontenintal.

Quest NPC is WHO. STARTS WHERE> my level 55 self wants this one.

Comment by Allakhazam

If not is there a minimum level or could even a level 1 (assuming they survived Dustwallow at level 1) get the spy report and speak with the NPCs?

Curious minds want to know.

Comment by Allakhazam

Glad there is a hunter/rogue reward for this quest!

/sarcasm

Comment by Allakhazam

The Loose Dirt which starts the quest is at 55,25 in Dustwallow. Also, take with you 3 soothing spices for the Soothing Spices quest (Marsh Frog Legs ) for bonus XP and some frog leg stew.
