I find it odd that Desolace isn't part of the Alliance version of Loremaster of Kalimdor.

at 53/55 quests any help? got teh drop from thunderaxe and a couple other drop quests.

Comment by 316590

Achieved this today with several quests to spare, but I came in with 15 already completed from previous loremaster.

A good number of drop-start quests - keep an eye on your loot.

Comment by speakeasy

Drop Quest From Thunderaxe Mobs: Ears Are Burning
Bizby: Bizby
Thunk: Cenarion Embassador Thunk
Ancient Tablets: Ancient Tablets
Malyk: Hierophant Malyk (gives you a quest to go to Desolace)

There was at least one more drop quest but I can't, for the life of me, remember what it was from. Centaurs maybe?

Comment by 636713

I am stuck at 44/55 and have done all the drop quests and the escort one as well. Any ideas on where to go would be helpful:)

Comment by 208914

Also there is a small quest hub just west of Thunk's Abode... I didn't need to finish the chain to get the achievement so there's at LEAST 3 quests.

Comment by kristyy

There is also a quest that drops from the Maraudine Maulers -- Behind Closed Doors. This will give you two more quests and doesn't require you to go into the actual instance yet.

There's also another escort quest around 66,35 where you escort a kodo caravan, kinda easy to miss I think.

Comment by gnjida

On 54,10 on the road also u have 1 npc with some bird.There u get huge chain q .

Comment by Kindread

Bodyguard for Hire

Found this one on my way to Thunk's Abode. Was at 53/55, now I'll be able to finish even with the glitched Maraudon quest. :)

Comment by 377893

I found 2 random quests at Sargeron where the satyrs are, the starts are at statue near the bigger ruins/buildings, Quests: Ten pounds of flesh & To the Hilt!

Also look out for a NPC on the side of the road if you enter from STM and go down the road

There is also a series of quests at Ethel Rethor just west of Furien's Post in the northwestern part of Desolace that make it so there are more than enough quests left over to get this. You do missions as a naga for some of the series. That is 11 quests total some people may have missed.

If you've built rep with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, it looks like you may be unable to get this achievement until you repair your standing with the Steamwheedle Cartel:

Bizby is aligned with Ratchet, and ends 4 quests: Fletch Me Some Plumage!, Good Gold For Bad Tail, Heavy Metal, and New Beginnings.
Melizza Brimbuzzle is aligned with Gadgetzan, and is the object of the escort quest Get Me Out Of Here
Smeed Scrabblescrew is aligned with Ratchet, and ends four quests, including Kodo Roundup, Smeed's Harnesses, and two caravan escort quests, Gizelton Caravanand Bodyguard for Hire (the questgiver, Cork Gizelton, is unaligned).

Just an FYI for my fellow Bloodsail Admirals out there.

Two more quests at 70.32 and a fly path there.

Comment by Lucy8769

I am stuck at 41/55 and came across a drop quest.Its in Thunder Axe Fortress and i got it off the first kill (burning blade reaver)

Comment by 188968

Welcome to the hardest zone for the loremaster achievement. The mobs that need to be killed for many quests are scarce and spread far apart. The quests are really grindy. After you finish all the tedious and wristslitting quests, you can enjoy spending 30 minutes scraping 3 or 4 more quests to finish it off.

Good luck have fun :)

Comment by Aaris

got stucked with 54 quests, and i found this quest. It completed my achievement..

While You're Here

Comment by jjanchan

One tip for those quest hunters out there - as of the writing of this post, one of the biggest add-on assets to have is Quest History Felstone. It logs all the quests in the game as a sortable list, and will query the server to check which quests you have or have not completed. If you are stuck in a zone and are unable to find any more quests, simply bring up the add-on and select "New Quests", and sort by category (zone) - this will tell you which of those last lingering quests you have been unable to track down. It even provides quest IDs so that you can look up on those quests on Wowhead.

This add-on has gotten me out of a bind many a time when I have been stuck on a zone quest achievement, so I thought I'd pass that on to all of you. I am aware that the well known add-on QuestHelper has an incomplete quest feature as well, but I find that Quest History is a lot lighter on system resources than QuestHelper!

Happy questing!

Comment by 142762

This achievement is hell to go through, the quests are so badly designed you wanna kill yourself by the time you're halfway done.

Comment by Anathaema

Don't be a ***** like I was.
If you start this area then don't go elsewhere until you finish it.
The zone is fragmented so much you'll end up losing a lot of time recovering the trails.

I have been sitting at 54/55 and I forgot that the naga chain was interrupted when I started doing the zone then moved on to others.

Ethel Rethor is the place you wanna visit for the second part of the naga chain, the NPC there gives you the Slitherblade Charm and from here on you can talk to Valishj.

Hope that helped

Comment by dawgfan

The quests in Desolace feel like they were added to the game simply to discourage people from attempting Loremaster. This zone is full of gimmicky quests with the filler quests including TONS of gathering from mobs with very low drop rates and requiring you to go completely across the zone for nearly every other quest. The Naga quest chain, in particular, is very excruciating. I'm about half way done with Loremaster currently and this was the first time I thought about giving it up (although Ashenvale was frustrating as well).

It took me about 4 hours to complete the zone on my 85 Mage. 4 freaking hours...(in comparison, it took me 4 hours to complete the previous 3 zones).

Comment by kerrymayall

If you are a high-level Alliance player looking to do Loremaster achieve here it may be tempting to head straight for Nijels Point to begin questing. I did so and completely missed the Officer standing on the road between Desolace and Stonetalon. Talking to her provides the quest Rerouted which gives you another 3 very simple quests to your total that involve talking to NPCs at Nijels Point.

Comment by hoyer

Remember to download QuestHubber! Makes the achievement lot easier if you'r stucked...

Comment by 1089727

As far as I can tell, if you miss a breadcrumb quest as Allaince, you can not get this achieve. I'm at 54/55 and have tried multiple addons and they only give me horde quests and quests that have been removed

Comment by Theeljanoon

The brazier quest at 78:23 does NOT count towards the quest achievement :(

Comment by Zatie

I got frustrated and stopped working on this at 54/55. I could NOT find any other quests and all the quest helper addons kept giving me quests that were obsolete. On the western side of Desolace is a tauren female who you can click on - she won't have a quest - and when I did that, she gave me another stone. That stone turns you into a naga and you can go to the naga island just west of where the tauren is. The quest I left off on was "Deep Impact" and it's no wonder, because it's awful. But, check that to see if you abandoned like Deep Impact, thinking there could be other quests to do and avoid this quest because it's awful. (Awful).

Good luck!

Comment by 1385971

If you get stuck (I'm currently 50/55 >.>) there is an NPC named Bibbly F'utznuckle who starts Bone Collector. He is easy to miss as he is out of the way and alone.

Comment by 1227132

For any Horde having trouble finding some quests despite using Loremaster addon. Look over at Furiens Posten, those quests DID NOT show up on Loremaster and helped me finish out the zone.

Comment by Waterfuzz

At lvl100 you can start your Desolace quest chain with npc named Furien at 54/8.

Comment by 1435995

I was almost put off questing through here after reading some of these comments, but I needed it as part of Loremaster and coming here after finishing Stonetalon Mountains was no problem at all.
I started the zone on my hunter at level 32 and finished at level 40 (full heirlooms, no dungeons in between) with 5 quests to spare for the achievement.
Yes, some of the quests are out of the way, yes the naga quest chain is kinda tedious but the zone isn't THAT bad. The quests actually flow from hub to hub, the drops to start quests seem to drop almost instantly from the mobs and I don't know if they increased the collection quest drop rates but they weren't too bad at all.
Don't let the comments put you off, this place ain't all bad, and with a flying mount it would be a breeze.

Comment by Frostybolts

FYI, just found that on Alliance side, I had to complete "Rock Lobstrock!" in order to get the "Threats from the Sar'theris Stand" sub-achievement

Comment by Taraezor

If Horde, you must complete Fish in a Bucket but you need this quest to be available if this is your only Horde toon able to do this quest and you wish to get the Big Iron Fishing Pole.

If you complete the quest, the shellfish traps from Fish in a Bucket will not be lootable, thus the pole unobtainable.

The quest is the first part of a chain and is instantly available to any horde toon able to quest in the zone. This and Blubbergut lead to Chipping In which would then complete the Horde-only part of the zone questing achievement.

Alliance are out of luck here as the quest is Horde only.

Comment by blus10

If you're wondering/stuck on this. Open your area map and ensure there are no yellow ! on the map. Finish those off (some aren't required). Also, check if you have the quest "While You're Here" quest...doesn't put location on your map. You are to go to Valley of Spear, near south west part - just north east of Shadowprety Village, to loot items that your destroy. Will also loot item/get prompt for Behind Closed Doors quest.

Comment by Pyrin1701

This page is not very useful. it's missing things. @_@

Comment by mastergush

did I mis read all this, I wanted to know about the alliance side of these quests and the follow the trail of quests please?

Comment by Cognosis

Alliance, you do not have to complete any quest started by a goblin or any of the altar quests you can start in Sargeron during Elune's Gifts. I got the achievement after completing every other quest in the zone.
