The quest starter drops from Arvoar the Rapacious http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=23267 who pats around in a small circle around 74,86.

You get 250 Netherwing rep on completion.

Soloed as a 70 Combat Swords Rogue. Had to pot and use all CDs. Not too hard. Be sure to clear the area before engaging - Den Mother has and aoe fear - bellowing roar.

Comment by Suhov

Mob who drops Quest Item wich starts this quest got 29k HP, and objective elite got 31k HP. COmplitely easy for 2 players of any class. But need to clear around some mobs before pull.

Comment by 55853

Just soloed as Elemental Shaman. Both bosses have the same strat: clear around the area (due to fear/picking up adds), and pull out all your big guns to unload everything you have. Health Stone and/or potions definitely help. The aoe fears can be interrupted (by Earth Shock, at least).

I killed Arvoar using my fire elemental, and killed Barash using my earth elemental...don't think it really mattered, though. I don't know what they do when they turn dark and "run" from you, but that's the perfect time to heal/bandage.

So, this quest is soloable if you come prepared, and would be a piece of cake with 2 people.

The money reward is now 20g 79s as of 2.1

Comment by 21156

Soloed both as Elemental shammy in blue gear.
no fancy elemental pets, just heroism, trinket and pot

Comment by Wildhorn

When they run away and change color, if you damage them, they will enrage.

Soloed as a balance druid (keep the 3 HoTs on you and keep the 2 DoTs on it, try to avoid to damage it when it run away, because when they enrage, they hurt really bad, use Barkskin in that case). It is stunnable (warstomp), but not rootable.

Comment by 17792

Both elites fear, but it's not the fear that will get you adds (it's a very short fear), its when they change color and run. They are FAST and can run pretty far. I cleared a big area and still ended up with 2 adds (and died) because the elite ran all over the place.

Very annoying to solo as a warlock since they are immune to fear and dot ticks will set off their enrage. I had to basically just heal pet and shadowbolt in between.

Comment by nfw73

Barash (and I think Arovar should be too) is easily solo'ed as a prot warrior in T4/Karazhan tanking gear, in fact, I did not go below 75% health even with a couple of non elites joining mid fight.

I could bandage when it starts running around, but it wasn't needed, and most of the times impossible because of the dot on me.

Comment by 22114

Both arvoar and the den mother are soloable for a shadow priest.

As others said clear the area well enough so you are not feared into adds or the mob doesnt run into any either when they run away with their enrage shield on.

Its very hard to avoid damaging it when the mob runs and pops his enrage shield. So I suggest to start a heal as soon as it does this. You will need at least 1 mana pot (I used pvp mana pot). I have about 750 damage, 10k health, 8k mana, and 24% to crit. I died a few times figuring out what the trick to arvoar is, but the den mother took 1 try (since it is exactly the same). So it shouldn't be that much harder for someone with lesser gear.

Comment by ikki

How many kinds of "This item begins a quest" Can be found in netherwing? :O

Comment by Slimwit

I think it is worth noting that you must be Netherwing Neutral for the item to drop. This means you must have 300 Flying Skill (Elite Flying) It mentions that in the note for the dropped item that starts the quest, but that's easy to miss (as I did).

Comment by 99583

This is very easy to solo as a feral druid.

Clear the entire area, and use your tanking gear for Arvoar. With decent tank gear he only hits you for around 150, and 230-ish if he's enraged. Keep Demoralizing Roar up on him and spam Maul + Mangle. It'll take a few minutes but you should kill him without having to heal. (I got a respawn add at around 5%, finish him and then kill the add.)

Rinse and repeat for Den Mother. I also got a respawn add at around 50%, I killed it first before going back to Barash.

Finished both fights with around 45% hp left. 20g + a green that vendors around 3g.

Comment by 60495

As a fire mage, I've not been able to solo him due to me firing off scorches every 1.5 seconds and ignites flying all over the place

I don't get time to see when he shields himself, so I don't get bandage time and he gets enraged

Comment by 83915

I found Barash the Den Mother circling at 70,84 in Shadowmoon valley.

Comment by Dragonrose

Me (BM hunter) and a rogue friend did this together, both in half-decent gear. We had no trouble doing it and we even managed to aggro adds and still not die. As said, very easy. We didn't pay attention and held strong during the enrage.

Comment by 155456

Easily soloed as a 0/21/40 warlock with ~1100 shadow dmg, 18% crit

- Jump up on one of the ledges in the surrounding area,
- Sacc a voidwalker and summon a new one
- Start spamming SB, stop when "stoned"
If a third shield is needed, insta summon a voidwalker and sacc it
Make sure to have your PvP trinket equipped

I finished with about 70% of my hp left on my first attempt, so this should be no problem

Comment by Nienie

Solo'd today by a 70 UD Holy priest. Barash was easier to kill than Arvoar for some reason (he took me about 7 minutes to kill while Barash took about 2 mins). It involved a lot of shielding and keeping renew on myself white smiting with the shield up. Fearward + WotF were handy to reduce the damage taken and chance of dying while feared. I had cleared all the trash around them beforehand, so being feared into things was not an issue.

I don't recommend doing it, but I just wanted to see if I could. :)

Comment by chailey

Does count toward the Shadow of the Betrayer Achievement, however, the daily quests do not count, even the first time.

Comment by Gomerfa

This quest is also available by Horde

Comment by perculia

Skybreaker's Mantle is a good transmog reward as it is the only mail item that shares a model with the popular plate Strengthened Stockade Pauldrons look.

Comment by 1445401

Someone please help! I cannot for the life of me figure out how to start this quest. I have the drop "Partially Digested Hand" but I have no clue on what to do now. I am also Neutal with Netherwing if that makes a difference.

Comment by WoWGnGP

i made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Comment by Aerynsun8449

Yet another damn quest, tied to the achievement, that has a "random" drop rate. Way to go Blizzard. I've got flying, I've got neutral status with Netherwing, yet I've killed Arvoar the Rapacious three times and Partially Digested Hand has yet to drop. This is the last chain I need for Lore master, not only in Shadowmoon Valley, but ALL of Outland as well. This has been the most frustrating experience I've had with this game. As I posted elsewhere, I used to think Blizzard programmers where just on some really good drugs when they designed some of these quests. After going for Lore master here, I believe they're just sadistic jerks. Gating Lore master quests on "random" drops is ludicrous at best.

There seems to be a LOT of misinformation regarding this quest. No, you don't just have to have flying and be neutral with Netherwing. You ALSO have to have 310 flying. Even if you have 280 flying, you can still get the quest In Service of the Illidari, but the npcs over there will still be hostile to you until you have 310 flying. As soon as you have 310 flying, when you fly over there ALL of the npcs are friendly and offer daily quests. So, the Partially Digested Hand ISN'T a random drop, it dropped right away, after I got 310 flying and the quest In Service of the Illidari. There might be another quest as I picked up a couple prior to going back to kill Arvoar the Rapacious for the fourth time. That time Partially Digested Hand dropped right away.

Comment by Andrinoo

Arvoar the Rapacious can be found at /way 74.82, 86.34

Comment by Shadanah

As of 8.1.5:

You kill Arvoar the Devourer, pick up the item drop, and then complete the quest that triggers (this one). This will complete Netherwing Ledge. Nothing sent me to kill Arvoar so I assume it's an oversight in design, as players today would have no reason to go kill it.

Comment by Swayyde

if you're looking to start this for transmog, you need to have finished Enter the Taskmaster first. the fastest way (i think) to do this is to start Kindness and follow the quest line through In Service of the Illidari. takes a max of 5-10mins after you finish that it has a 100% chance to drop the quest item.

Comment by robcjacob

Commenting here for people in the 9.0 pre-patch looking for answers as to why there are no more quests for your Shadowmoon Valley (Outlands) Loremaster. I did have to get 310 flying for the next "!" exclamation point/quest marker to pop on the map. I did all the possible quests on the map that were marked (last one was where you rescue the green drake). I then tried and killed the Arvoar dude 2 times and never got any quest drop. The second I got 310 flying, the quest marker popped up. GLHF

Comment by DrMusket

I have killed Arvoar at least 20 times with no quest dropping. The exclamation point is on my map. I have completed all other quests. I am going to lose my mind. I even started killing the Den Mother just to see if that changed anything. What is going on!

Comment by GeminiFaerie

You have to kill Arvoar the Rapacious, who runs in a tight circle at 74.5, 86.3 on the Netherwing Ledge in Shadowmoon Valley, to get this quest to automatically drop. Only had to kill him once for the quest to drop. I had completed all quests in the chain up to this one before this quest would drop. Good luck!

Comment by Encantrix

Just finished this quest, can confirm it's the one that completes the storyline Netherwing Ledge for Shadow of the Betrayer, and here's all I did:

First, I did the chain that starts with Kindness, offered by Mordenai, and ends with Ally of the Netherwing (which makes you neutral to Netherwing). When I turned in the latter quest, Mordenai offered me Blood Oath of the Netherwing, which is followed by In Service of the Illidari and then Enter the Taskmaster, and as soon as I completed it I went to kill Arvoar the Rapacious and looted the Partially Digested Hand, the item which finnaly starts the quest A Job Unfinished...

So, basically, here's all the quests I had to do to complete the storyline Netherwing Ledge and the order in which I did them:

Starting whith Mordenai:

Again starting whith Mordenai: *

And finally, starting with Partially Digested Hand, dropped by Arvoar the Rapacious when slayed after all of the quests above have been turned in:

A Job Unfinished...

* In case after you finish Ally of the Netherwing you are not given Blood Oath of the Netherwing by Mordenai, or if you can't start any of the two following quests, there's a chance (due to something that's mentioned within them) that you will need to have completed the storyline The First Death Knight first, which is achieved by the completion of the following quest chain:

Hope this might help, somehow.

PS: I'm not sure if you need to have the highest level of flight learnt (which now simply means level 40 or above) to loot the Partially Digested Hand, but judging by all I've seen about this quest so far I'd suppose you don't. Anyways, you definetely won't be able to complete the quest chains that take you to it, or even arrive in the Netherwing Ledge (a floating 'island'), where this quest takes place, if you can't fly.
