Perfecting Your Howl Quest - WoW - Mount Hyjal

Another easy, straight-forward quest in Mount Hyjal.. These are starting to feel like busy-work. By this level you probably should know how to do the howl for the quest, but just in case.. :)


Target and attack one of the "bad guys."
Kill it and stand over it.
Bring your cursor over by where your quests are tracked, and put your cursor over the "Fang of the Wolf." Click on it. 

You will turn into a wolf, howl, and then turn back into yourself. Do this 10 times.

Lupus Pupus WoW quest in Borean Tundra, Northrend

****Click on photos for full size****
The title of the quest is a pun, if you are familiar with Latin you will have gotten it by now.. That's right, another poop quest! This quest happens in the Borean Tundra in Northrend by the Scalding Pools. You will earn reputation with Valiance Expedition, which is why I did this one.
Quest giver is Iggy "Tailspin" Cogtoggle, you will find him near a broken down airplane. When you accept the quest you'll receive Wolf Bait.
If you're here you are probably looking for help through this quest. It's a simple one and gives decent exp and rep so definitely get this one done :)

This is good after MoP, but a future expansion may change things. Have more info? Feel free to comment.
Those are the wolves you need to target. DO NOT ATTACK THEM.
Right click on the Wolf Bait in your bag after targeting a wolf,
it will toss the Wolf Bait to them.

After tossing the Wolf Bait, the wolves will run up to you
and eat the bait. They will howl and run away, and then
the wolf poop will be visible.

Yep that's wolf poop. 

Close up of the wolf poop because I was laughing too hard not to. Check out the flies around it.
Right click on it to loot it.

You get the Microfilm from looting the poop.
Repeat. When you have the needed amount, return to Iggy "Tailspin" Cogtoggle.

Prisoner of Interest - WoW - Mount Hyjal

CLICK PHOTOS FOR FULL VIEW.
Hello and welcome! If you've found yourself here you are probably needing help with this quest.
The most challenging part of this one for me was simply finding the darn Barrow Dens, so let's start with that.
The red circle is where the entrance
of the Barrow Dens is on the map.


This is what the entrance
looks like, plus a shot of where
you're at on the mini map.

Once inside the den, follow your
mini map. It's pretty easy to navigate.
Speak to Saynna. You will have to take
the Arch Druid Fangdral Staghelm
back out the way you came.
The Arch Druid is unable to put up any fight at all, but on the way back out of the den you have to fight these nightmare monster things. My level was a bit high for this quest so I had no problems at all, but it's not particularly challenging anyway. After all that, you will turn in the quest right outside the den.
Info is good for MoP, I don't guarantee it will be the same after more expansions! If you'd like to add anything feel free to comment!

Razorfen Kraul Entrance, Southern Barrens, Kalimdor - WoW dungeon

Note: Click on picture for full view! They get cut off but they are full screenshots!
I decided to post this after I realized I needed to turn in an old quest. I found it on foot, but didn't have my map filled in for Southern Barrens so it was a challenge. None of the screenshots on the big WoW sites were helpful so I asked my guildmates to point me in the right direction. Once there I decided to make USEFUL screenshots for any other lost newbies.

Make sure you are on the Kalimdor continent. Fly to Southern Barrens, either Desolation Hold (Horde) or Fort Triumph (Alliance) will be closest I believe. Then continue south toward Thousand Needles. It is on the left-hand side on the map in the very south of Southern Barrens. At 46 I wasn't personally able to solo this instance as a rogue, because the bosses usually have two guys with them, but it was close. Good luck everyone.
This is up to date as far as MoP, I don't guarantee accuracy after any expansions. If you want to comment with more info feel free!

The Durable Seeds quest, Mount Hyjal. Kalimdor

CLICK PHOTOS FOR FULL VIEW.
The Durable Seeds quest in Mount Hyjal is pretty straightforward. You run over to The Flamewake and look for piles of dirt, which will be a different color from the rest of the ground. They will also sparkle a little.
The Flamewake is in the red circle. This is where you'll
find the seedlings.
  
This is what the piles of dirt look like, and
what comes up when you put your cursor
over them.
Loot the piles and you will be able to take
the seedlings. You need 10.
When you have 10 seedlings, return to the quest giver. Easy one! :)
Info is good for MoP, I don't guarantee it will be the same after more expansions! If you'd like to add anything feel free to comment!

Hello's and What Not

Hey guys! I'm just your Friendly Neighborhood Spi-- er, blogger? Let's go with blogger. I know most of you who use my screenshots won't bother to read this since it's just an introduction, but I feel that even though it's unnecessary for you to read my intro, it is necessary for me to write one.
I started taking screenshots when I got annoyed with a quest where I had to find an entrance to a tunnel or den or something, and the big WoW guides really did not help at all. In fact, those sites won't post the type of screenshots that would have actually helped me. Luckily I'm part of an awesome guild.
I know some of you have been on WoW much longer than I have, and some may still be fairly new. Point is, we all have those "doh!" moments where something we've made very difficult is actually simple. Once, when my main toon was around level 60, I took a YEAR long break. When I came back, I was in the middle of a quest and was truly baffled as to how I should continue. Never be embarrassed for seeking help, because we all need it sometimes!
I have a life ;) so this will be updated whenever I have the time. I'm also moving some of my screens to this blog from their former home.

So let's play!
