Your favourite Beta quest/chain

Unread post by Galahandra »

Updated, still more incoming:

So, here I am in Eastern Plaguelands. Upon entry I am greeted by a Worgen female by the name of Fiona. She has a caravan that travels through the Plaguelands. At each stop you are asked to help some people travelling with her.

When you first meet her you are asked to help two Paladins, a dwarf called Gidwin Goldbraids and a Blood Elf named Tarenar Sunstrike. After completing these first two quests, you're ready to move to your first little quest hub by Caravan. You're also treated to some dialogue between the characters! What I think is also quite cool, is that your pet runs behind the caravan whilst you travel on the back of it!

The first stop along your travels is Eastwall Tower, and you're asked to recruit an NPC to join your caravan on it's travels! Also, an added little bonus, the caravan can give you a passive buff throughtout EPL to help you! You recruit Argus Highbeacon to travel with you after completing a quest for him!

Next off you stop at Light's Shield tower. Argus Highbeacon has some work to do here, but Fiona send you off to find Gidwin Goldbraids and Tarenar at Light's Hope Chapel! They both want to join the Argent Crusade, so are off to see Maxwell Tyrosus. He sends you on a test ot the Crypt behind Light's Hope. Here you have to read from a scroll, then defeat the spirits on some dead Crusaders.

Now, as a member of the Crusade, you're sent off to kill 8 Cultists and 16 Scourge at the Browman Mill, and to bury the blades of some fallen crusaders risen as scourge in their bodies. After this, you go back to Fiona with the caravan, Paladins in tow. At this point you now meet Vex'Tul, an Undead troll. He asks you to kill the warlord at Zul'Mashar (I think it's called). You do this, burn the warlord's corpse, then Vex'Tul kills himself too. You also get a quest to help Tarenar kill some Scourge in the Plaguelands!

So, now, Gidwin Goldbraids has gone missing! Tarenar sends you to Northdale to find him, but you can only find his prayer book...bad times. You go back and report this to Fiona. She sends you out to kill some Scourge Siege Engineers, and to batter the information out of them! Had to kill about 50 of them before they'd tell me anything!! Also, upon returning, we find out that Tarenar has rushed off into Plaguewood to find Gidwin...so, now you have to go find Tarenar within Plaguewood!

When you reach Plaguewood, you find Tarenar walking the roads near Straholme. It turns our Baroness Anastari has Godwin! You get a quest to kill two of the Defenders of Stratholme - a Tauren and Night Elf Death Knight! One of them drops a missive which lists Godwin's current location...the Slaughterhouse!

Now, what happens next is the best part of the quest! Upon entering the Slaughterhouse you're treated to a little cutscene. Your character and Tarenar walk in on Baroness Anastari doing I don't know what to Godwin. She challeneges you to a battle, thinking that she will be victorious, then Fiona, Argus and the spirit of Vex'Tul show up. You then witness a little scene where your character and these NPCs beat up the Baroness.

After completing this, you go back to Light's Hope and claim your blue reward...a nice ring for hunters!

Hope you enjoy this when you finally get to do it!

Buffs:
Fiona's Lucky Charm - Chance to get extra money and loot from mobs (this comes in the form of a drop called 'Hidden Stash' open it to see what's inside!)
Gidwin's Weapon Oil - Chance to do holy damage on ranged and melee attacks
Tarenar's Talisman - Chance to do holy damage on successful spell casts
Pamela's Doll - Summons the spirit of Pamela Redpath to accompany you
Vex'tul's Armbands - Chance to knock enemies in the air on successful attacks
Argus's Journal - Grants an additional 2% exp in EPL (think of this stacking with the 4 heirlooms and boosted guild exp...crazy!)
Rimblat's Stone - You have a heal cast on you when you kill mobsd that yield exp

The chance to do x damage on attacks scales with the amount of people travelling with the caravan! Also, when travelling with the two paladins you get Retribution Aura, Blessing of Kings and Blessing of Might! They also buff your pet :D

Ah, well, it's for both Alliance and Horde, seeing as it's an Argent Crusade quest chain ;)

Alright, that makes the quest officially awesome as far as I'm concerned!
