Scout Valory wants you to investigate the sounds of battle coming from the northeast of Wyrmskull Village.
Description
It’s come at great cost, but we’ve completed our inspection of the site.
The news isn’t good. Nearly everyone has been slain or captured. Only a few veteran guards remain unaccounted for.
The scouts have done all we can here. You must pick up where we’ve left off.
Sounds of a skirmish are coming from up the hill to the northeast. Have a look, <class>. We can only hope there are some who have survived, and that they may have some intel we can use against this enemy.

Handsome Terry at Scalawag Point wants you to bring him 1 Amani Vase and 1 Eagle Figurine from the shipwreck to the south.
Description
I’ve made my fortune by specializing in treasure that regular pirates don’t appreciate: art, antiquities, collector’s pieces.
Black Conrad’s fleet sank south of here years ago. All the gold and jewelry was picked clean by divers, but two ancient relics remain there. One is a museum-quality Amani vase, the other is an eagle figurine.
Go and retrieve them for me and I’ll vouch for you with the other pirates. I’ll even throw in something to make your underwater adventure a bit more manageable.

Something I’ve been meaning to write about for a while are my personal guidelines to ganking, or more generally, world PvP. There are no hard-and-fast rules regarding world PvP, although I follow a personal code of conduct when it comes to these things. Think of it as a guide on being good — character-wise, if not skill-wise — or how not to be an asshat in PvP. Today, we’ll go through a few simple unwritten rules or ideas and my reasoning behind them. That way, I can also say they’re no longer unwritten rules.
It might seem futile to lay out some ground rules for world PvP, considering that at the heart of it, they’re not really enforceable, but I’d like to think the world (of Warcraft) would be a better place if everyone followed a few simple rules of PvP engagement. It would certainly go a long way towards rectifying the image that some PvE players have about those who PvP. I mean, we’re not all uncouth ruffians. At least, not all the time — oh, who am I kidding? PvP players are bastards. But some of us, at least, are nice bastards.

Bati has created something that I truly appreciate: easy-to-use, easy-to-set-up, pre-made Grid healer profiles that give you everything you could ask for. The profile set even includes a DPS setup for your off spec, if needed.
An interface for every healer
Oren.1 is the paladin interface, showing all of the pertinent buffs on the target at the bottom of the Grid frame, with built-in timers from the excellent addon OmniCC. Bati is the priest Grid setup, displaying shields, Weakened Soul, Prayer of Mending and other vital priest information right on the Grid frame. Paired with a PoM counter addon, this setup proves very powerful for priests.

Greatmother Ankha has asked you to check on the condition of Sage Mistwalker. She believes him to be at or near Steel Gate.
Description
<class>, I grow worried that my son, Sage Mistwalker, has been gone for such a long time. The land is cruel and deadly.
He spoke of a recurring vision that he had of a wolf, and went west with a small group of longrunners to seek its source. I believe the name of the place he mentioned was Steel Gate.
Will you find him? I want to make sure that no ill has befallen him.

Venture into Halgrind and use the Plague Spray on 10 Plagued Dragonflayer Vrykul. Return to Chief Plaguebringer Harris to report the results.
Description
Now that we have a strain of the plague that has adapted to vrykul carriers, we really ought to test it on our specimens in Halgrind. If all goes according to plan, they will disintegrate immediately as the plague devours their innards!
You will find Halgrind north of here. Our plaguebringers are deploying the previous strain there – shouldn’t be hard to spot.

Hidalgo at the Explorers’ League Outpost in the Howling Fjord wants you to use your Trained Rock Falcon to capture 10 Fjord Hawks.
Return to Hidalgo with the cage when you have completed this task.
Description
Do you feel the closeness, <name>? Surely you feel a true bond forming between you and your falcon. Would you believe me if I told you that when the time is right you’ll be able to see through the eyes of your bird? Aye, it is the ultimate level of falconry.
But first you must hunt more! The bird must hone and quicken its reflexes. Send it against a more formidable opponent! The fjord hawks of the region make the tops of the trees around us their homes. They shall be your next target!

Let’s face it, rogues don’t really have any spontaneous abilities to look forward to. Each spec has its own toolbox of cooldowns to use as soon as they’re available, and we can typically predict our actions a few steps out. We’ve been using the combo point system for so long that there’s really nothing that can surprise us. We know how energy works, and a quick look at our buff and debuff timers let us know exactly what the next step is in our priority system.
Rogues and their rotation
The basic model for rogue DPS is the rotation system, which has two core parts. We start by using techniques that generate combo points and then release those combo points in the form of finishers. We have a variety of CP generators that vary by spec, and we have a similar selection of finishers for every situation. The pacing of CP generation provides the necessary amount of DPS ramp-up requirements to ensure that we’re not too powerful in short fights, while also allowing for us to reach our peak DPS when we’re allowed to attack uninterrupted.

Ulfang has asked you to collect the Eyes of the Eagle. Return to him in disguise in the Rivenwood after you have done so.
If you somehow lose the Worg Disguise, return to Watcher Moonleaf for a replacement.
Description
Garwal hides himself behind an unnatural magic. None can see him unless he wants you to. There may be one chance we can take, though.
My enemy, the great eagle, Talonshrike, is said to have eyes that can see anything. If you were to take her eyes, then you would surely be able to see Garwal.
Talonshrike keeps her nest at the base of a waterfall just to the southwest of the vrykul place called Skorn. If you touch the eggs in her nest, she will come down from the sky to kill you.
