This is one of those quests who are going to be famous. Abandon it as soon as you can.

If you want to get the sword via smithing, then the regents are worth around 2 gold.

If you want to buy it in the Auction House, more or less the same, around 1.5 or 2 gold.

And the reward isnt worth. The experience is not worth too, as you would get the experience farming anything from other mobs and you would get more interesting drops.

If you vendor the items the total quest reward is 1.2g so the loss isn't that much.

Comment by Googles

3450 exp. is worth 2g.

Of course, if you are a miner (as i am and some of my husband's alts) and a pack-rat (as is my husband), you only have to buy the coal and the flux, and tip a smith . . . . not bad at all . . .

Comment by Epoch1

Befor anyone posts anymore things about wether or not this quest is worth completing, I would like to add the following;

The quest is worth while to some, and not to others.

It depends on your Proff and what kind of time u like to spend on a single quest.

Depending on your server's AH rates, it might be worth doing it might not.

:D nuff said.

If u are a blksmith like me then this is defently worth it. For all u non-blksmiths, Blksmiths have to buy the plans for this item costing 44s for BB if ur a miner u get mats free but if not and are a blksmith u can just buy from ah for a small amount. So in my opinion if ur a blksmith or miner defenatly worth it overwise not so much.

This quest has been changed on the 2.3 PTR. It now simply requires killing Razorspine, a nearby named murloc, and bringing his sword to Jarl. The rewards remain the same.

This quest has been changed so you don't need a blacksmith anymore.

Might want to pick up the quest Hungry! before you do this, can finish both off at same time, since hungry! is on the other side of map.

Comment by trizzet

It reminded me more of Sling Blade then Friday the 13th. The quest reference seemed rather obvious.

Due to a route i was taking to get round the map i have killed him a couple of times now. He always seems to be coming out of a valley north of Swamplight Manor that leads to the beach. Just a lvl 36...

Comment by xexok

This quest took me literally less than 2 minutes to complete, I grabbed the quest and ran north-east towards the beach and right at the start of the path the mob was there, lol.

The quest text is a reference to the movie Sling Blade.

"Some folks call it a sling blade; I call it a kaiser blade."

Edited for foolishness.

I received 2450 XP, Patch 3.0.8, (1/21/2009)

Comment by 302267

....does it seem odd to anyone else that he only wants something to eat from his guest AND he's going to cut something "that won't keep?".....Sounds like Jarl is planning a little cannibalism to me......

Comment by 150927

So now he wants to cut Grimsby instead of the fresh body in his garden.

Comment by 243362

Jarl needs a brain

Comment by 151599

Comment by Ozbaab

Comment by 305313

4100 experience at lvl 38.

Comment by Tripster

Maybe the blade's for hara-kiri so he can join the dead...

Comment by 554756

Nice little quest series, especially with Grimsby's quest. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't get a "real" ending as it seems like Jarl actually is the demon...!

I have cutting to do. I can't tell you what I'm going to cut, but... I need myself a blade. A certain blade...

Some people call it a sword. I call it a swing blade.

You help me? Those fish-men, you know, murlocs or whatever they're called.... There's one they call Razorspine, carries a big sword, lives north of here near the beach. That's the sword I need!

But don't sleep on this. What I'm cutting won't keep forever...
