HOLAS SOY CAZADOR COMO RAYOS SACO AL CERDITO? SILVA Y NADA?

Comentario de rodrk

Es una mision super aburrida, debes estar atento de que halla jabalis cerca de lso tuberculos

Comentario de 780746

Para que funcione nada mas darle al silvato se tiene uno que apartar un poco sino el jabali te ataca y no sacas nada.

Comentario de 831519

realmente no entiendo esta quest!...encuentro los tuberculos, uso el silbato pero no pasa nada.
No hay jabalis cerca, solo despellejadores y basiliscos... no se que hacer con esto...

Comentario de Tatahe

Por muchísimo la peor misión de todo el juego. Aburrida y tediosa.
Como hacerla? Bien... primero debes pasar volando por toda la zona y matar a todos los despellejadores que puedas. Luego de matar a todos empieza a buscar zonas donde hayan cerdos vivos y busca tuberculos que este aproximadamente a 10 yardas o menos, te paras en los tuberculos, vendrán los cerdos, escaban y recoges el tuberculo que salió de la tierra. Repetir 10 veces y listo. Mucha paciencia para esta quest.

Suerte.

Comentario de bootable

In order to loot a Shadowmoon Tuber you first have to find a Shadowmoon Tuber Mound, a tooltip will pop up when you hover over it, then you have to use Oronok's Boar Whistle when a boar is nearby and the boar will come dig up the tuber, then a lootable Shadowmoon Tuber appears and you loot the tuber from that.

The only real difficulty in this is finding a spawn that is near a felboar, and also keeping the felboars alive because the Ravenous Flayers all around the are are constantly killing the boars.

Note: aggroing one of the felboars to make it follow you and then using the whistle while standing on a tuber, Does NOT work, just means you have to kill the felboar, which is pointless.

Comentario de Darsh

If you can get one where two boars come over simultaneously (or more I suppose) you can loot multiple tuber's per mound.

Comentario de 16251

i think this was the most annoying quest of the game

Comentario de 17702

This was by far the most annoying quest in the game. Took me an hour to get 6. I finally found 4 by a single boar who was getting beat down by a mob so i saved him a got the rest of them. I think I'd rather dig through more fecal matter than have to do a quest like this again.

Comentario de 15757

Easy quest. Took maybe 10 minutes to do. Just look for a tuber, then wait by it for a boar to spawn (20-30 seconds) and use the whistle.

Comentario de Kavan

What you can also do is find a tuber, then pull a Flayer that is attacking some boar over to the tuber. Boar will follow him and when you kill the Flayer use the whistle.

Comentario de Glassjaw

If you have multiple boars around one root, more than one root tuber will spawn.

Comentario de aasartor

I'm pretty sure this quest is bugged, since a majority of the boars that are actually nearby tubers literally spawn in dead. How you're supposed to call a dead boar over I'm not entirely sure.

Comentario de chonchu

This is not a hard quest if you understand exactly what you need to do. It took me 15min to finish it.
Near the NPC you gonna find some "Ravenous Flayer" a dark mob with big claws. Their roll is just kill all "Domisticated Felboars" they can find around. The "felboars" roll is respond to the Whistle you have when you use it next to a Shadowmoon Tuber Mound. The Shadowmoon Tuber Mound roll (lol) is get digged by the felboar and gives you a Tuber itself (the quest item) and your roll is keep the Boars alive.
All resumes to:
1- Find a mound. Once you found one check if theres a noar near it (the range on the whistle is pretty short... i can say 10~15years tops). If the boar is close enought use the whistle. The boar will come, dig it and you´ll be able to loot a Tuber.
If you don´t have a boar next to it you have 02 options:
A) Wait 1 or 2 minuts. You have a 90% chance that a felboar will pop right next to it and some Flayers will attack it so you save him and use the whistle. One tip here is clear the area first. Sometimes when the boar pops 02 Flayers come to attack it and they hit hard.
B) In some spots no Felboars pop at all so you use the whistle. The Mound WILL despawn and respawn around 30sec later in somewhere else.

It all about finding the mounds, wait for a boar, save the ones that are bein attacked next a mound and etc...

Some nice mounds have 02 boars around it so when you use the whistle both come, both dig and you get 02 quest items in a shot.

Its a very patience quest. The Flayers always drop money, and good drop rate on netherweave cloths and gray items cause yes.. you will kill some.

Comentario de 16172

Not sure what the problem is. This is a piece of cake.

Comentario de 18921

The tubers spawn in pairs near each other. You can respawn the tubers in a new location by using the whistle on top of them. It takes about 30 seconds to respawn them.

Usually Felboars spawn near the tubers if you wait about a min. If you don't see any Felboars spawn near the tubers I suggest you respawn the tubers using the whistle.

It seems to me the Felboars do not spawn near the tubers in the north-eastern part of the zone (near all the Flayer eggs), and the north-western part of the zone (near the steep slope). I suggest you reset the tubers if you see them spawn there.

Comentario de 21883

I found it quite easy to save boars that were under attack and then look for tubers around them. The boars are situated such that they spawn near tuber and vice versa. So saving a boar from a flayer will most likely net you at least one tuber. Sometimes I was able to find boars (mostly on the north side of the area) that were in range of 2 or 3 tubers.

Your biggest enemy here are allied players, as some will attempt to follow you around and steal your tubers. Kill the boars in these situations to rob them of the chance. They'll eventually leave you alone.

If you can kill the horde that are doing the quest, to free up boars and tubers. Though this may vary in effectiveness as horde may bring reinforcements, have others around or just come back and gank you.

Comentario de 21902

Arrgh! This quest qualifies as one of the stupidest ever...took me a good hour! :(

Comentario de 24452

Very annoying quest, if you have a flying mount it's proboably a good idea to fly around looking for boars close to the mounds, otherwise you could spend easily an hour or more doing this quest. It's very hard not to aggro something whilst on ground.

Comentario de 16453

Area of harvesting is surrounding 52.15 .. if you can, find one thats being attacked and save it. try to get two that are close to one area, and you'll get multiple tubers. be patient. took me about 10 minutes. watch for adds.

Comentario de Zanrok

in and around 54, 16 is where the boars and tuber things are.

Comentario de 26280

Wow this quest is annoying as heck. As someone said above, the boars pop dead, so it's very hard to find one living. By the time you find one, it's almost dead due to a flayer.

I'll come back to this much later in life.

Comentario de 28859

This can be done very easy by a hunter.

Shoot the Felboar and pull it over to the mound.
Make sure youre in the right spot.
Feign Death and the second you get up whistle.
The boar will run back to its normal spawn and then back to you and start to dig.

Comentario de Yxbengt

The only thing I found a bit annoying about this quest was that the tubers kept disappearing when I was fighting mobs over it. Other than that it wasn't a very big hustle. Awesome tip for FD btw, that works perfect.

Comentario de 26387

Tuber locations: https://www.wowhead.com/cata/object=184691

Comentario de Black2lip

Don't use AoE when attacking a Flayer who's attacking the Felboards, else the boars will become hostile and you'll have to kill them your self.

Comentario de 13166

if you have 2 felboars closed to 1 mound. it is possible for both of them come and digging the same mound. so you end up with 2 tubers by single whistle :)

Comentario de 3831

I think I figured out the tuber quest at the very end, I got five in a row or so.

Just stay near the tuber or the boar, and usually a new tuber will spawn within a ten yard radius. Be patient, and make sure to look right around you. Give it about a minute, THEN look for a new tuber in the ground elsewhere.

Comentario de 31263

not sure if its a bug or not, but if you happen to have 2 boars within range of the tuber mound and whistle, each boar will dig a tuber up.

Comentario de Axehilt

Wow, I'm surprised this quest is being called "most annoying ever". Without any outside tips I think I managed to complete it in under 20 mins back when I did it. Just a matter of keeping your boar buddies alive and then waiting for tuber respawns, as I recall.

Comentario de Farmbuyer

Horrible quest.

The flayers and whatnot have a gigantic aggro radius. If you're unlucky the quest can get bugged, where the flayers will kill boars as they spawn but before they're visible. You'll see flayers attacking empty air. Then they walk away. A minute later, the boar spawns already dead.

Line of sight also affects whether boars can hear the whistle. I've seen boars standing just above a tuber mound, but since I can't "see" them from my char when I blew the whistle, nothing happened and the tuber despawned.

I've been here for almost 2 hours, only 7 tubers so far. Boars aren't spawning anywhere near the mounds.

Comentario de 29539

was actually lucky enough to get 2 from the same tuber mound twice. had 2 boars in range. didnt take that long at all. still annoying tho

Comentario de 11979

Found 52.18 the best spot for this quest, lots of tubers, lots of boars, few flayers and no elite ones ...

Took less than 10 min...

Comentario de 40228

35,17 bst place to make it!

Comentario de 34010

I thought i'd share what i found out during this quest.

1) To make it easier on yourself, and to increase the amount of harvestable roots from 1 tubber mount, what your wanna do first of all is scout out the area - find a location that has alot of mounds within close proximity of eachother.

2) Start killing the flayers in the area you've chosen. Kill them as fast as possible and keep this up until you have a fair amount of domesticated boar spawns (say 5-7 or more).
TIP! The more boarspawns in the area the more will come when you whistle, thus creating severel harvestable roots out of 1 mound.

3) When the area runs out of tubber mounds, scout a new area and start over :)

Comentario de dgrier

Spotting the "Mounds":
These look like carrot tops sticking out of the ground.

Getting the quest item:
Stand on top of the carrot-looking thing, and blow that whistle. If a boar is near, it will come and dig it up. You can then look the item the boar digs up.

**NOTES**
1) The boar must be VERY near (no more than 15 yards away).
2) If you blow the whisle on a mound, and a boar does not come, the mound will despawn and then respawn somewhere else. This can be very useful.
3) If two boars come, they will both dig up a quest item. Very useful.
4) If you wait near a mound that has no boars, a boar will sometimes spawn right there.

This is very frustrating. Good luck!

Comentario de 39534

If you call a boar and there are 2 nearby then they will both come and dig up 2.

Comentario de 43910

Without a single doubt the most retarded quest ever. gg blizz

Comentario de Aisenfaire

Watch out for the elite 70 Matriarch flayer.

Do NOT die here unless you fancy:

a) a really long ghost run back; or
b) having to rez at the spirit healer, getting rez sickness, and flying all the way back

@Destinox:

No, it isn't retarded. It's original and funny...

Comentario de Aisenfaire

I forgot to say, you can find some around 56, 15.

Comentario de 42691

Slow refresh on the plain near the hills. There seemed to me more tuber pops when I went onto the edge of the valley down around 53,14,

Comentario de 797

This quest is idiotic...

Comentario de Sinborn

this quest would be easy, if the boars didn't spawn already dead....bugged?

edit: no, you just have to look further north for alive felboars.

Comentario de 52834

The Domesticated Felboars Are so Cute :D!

Comentario de 5688

Quest is currently bugged, but still doable. No live boars spawn anywhere near the tubers. Instead you'll see corpses everywhere and the flayers attacking them. What you have to do is clear the whole area - I mean lock it down - for a very long time and you'll start to see a live boar or two. One live boar in a good spot can get you 3-4 tubers. Eventually you'll get it but in its bugged state it is terribly frustrating.

Comentario de Zurik

if u call 2 (or more) "pigs":P to the same shadowmoon tuber mound u'll get 2 (or more) shadowmoon tubers :)

easy quest

Comentario de 5353

This is by far the most annoying quest in the game, very unoriginal and ratarted

Comentario de 27389

Do not do this quest if you're already in a bad mood, you will want to end your subscription before you finish it, if you ever do.

Absolutely horrible quest. Horrible.

Comentario de 45677

I found that the easiest way to do this quest is to kill as much Flayers that you can. Why? Because then you have lots of boars up and when a tuber spawns; you'll have 2-3 boards running to it and dig = 2-3 tubers / blow of the whistle.
Took me maybe 5 mins.

Comentario de 74255

I found a pretty easy way to manage this quest as a warrior. Whenever i saw a boar being attacked, i would taunt the flayer then run over the the tuber with the flayer attacking me and the boar following the flayer attacking him. I would then use my whistle immediately after the flayer was slain and the boar would run back to where ever you pulled it from then run all the way back to the tuber and harvest it.

Comentario de 75088

This quest started out difficult as described by many above. Then i hit a good spot around 51,17 and killed flayers like mad and kept the pigs alive.

In this area I was able to keep 3 pigs alive fairly easily, and finished the quest in like 5 minutes. (I had spent an hour of frustration though before finding this good flat spot).

Also watch your AoE attacks. Don't hit the damn pigs with anything, or they'll turn on you!

Comentario de 73668

If you get more than one felboar by one of the mounds, you'll get multple tubers.

You have to be extremely patient with this quest. But the reward is definitely worth it.

Comentario de 11826

This quest was VERY frustrating for me. I eventually did get 5 in a row to finish the quest around 55,15.

Comentario de 30378

this quest makes baby Jesus cry.

Comentario de Bogcom

If you blow the whistle with two pigs nearby both pigs will come and dig up TWO roots.
Not tested with more than two pigs.

Comentario de 49949

felboars die upon spawn reguardless of whether you kill the flayers around them, this quest blows

Comentario de 47076

NOTE! if there are 2 boars close to 1 tuber call them both! they will spawn 2 tubers 4u!

Comentario de 53766

This can be tricky. The guys are around 52, 17. For those of you without coords, they are north of the guy who gives the quest. Blow the whistle and a nearby felboar will run over and get it for you. The hard part is, Shaleskin Flayers in the area like to kill the felboars. You need to keep the felboars alive and kill the Flayers.

Comentario de 27741

My findings as druid skinner.
DPS in bear form and you'll have a lot easier task getting aggro from the flayers
Seeing how fast the boars respawn (I assume resp. rate is faster than average)
this might actually be a good place to farm leather
(or you could at least try landing the finishing blow if your boar is dying from a flayer)

Thanks for helpful tips above

Comentario de 96419

this quest is so simple.
screw those coments below.

*stand over a tuber
*mark a boar
*blow the whistle
*take a few steps back and then take the thing :)

Comentario de 69588

Also if you blow the whistle and two boars come then you get two tubers...

Comentario de tradition

This is a stupid quest. Tubers disappear if you step on them.

Comentario de 1299

Did it last night in a group, which meant we needed many, many tubers. Very annoying and frustrating quest...but one I will remember for a long time, which is not a bad thing considering many of the quests in Outland are very forgettable.

Comentario de 20417

I found this to be more frustrating than any other quest in Outland. It wouldn't be so bad if all you had to do was find a tuber, a boar, and whistle; instead about 50% of the time or so the tuber mound will de-spawn while you're killing a Flayer to even GET the dumb pig to start digging. This took me longer to complete than the quest in Stranglethorn Vale to get the Gorilla Sinew. Almost turned me off to the entire chain, which is really one of the more important end-game chains if your looking to get back into high-end raiding in BC.

Comentario de 123236

There's a slight trick to this that has been working for me (but YMMV):

When a flayer is fighting a felboar, you can pull aggro on the flayer and drag him to a tuber. Just as you kill the mob blow the whistle. The boar will run back to its last path point, as if resetting, but then should start running happily towards you (I've had them trek a good 40 yards so far) and dig you up a tuber. I've even had it dig up a closer tuber instead of the one I was standing by.

Comentario de MrWizard

WOW, this quest sucks in so many different ways on so many different levels. First, the carrots that your looking for despawn and spawn in randomly different places every 60 seconds or so, and most of the time they are not anywhere close to these Felboars. You have to be within hearing range of these boars for them to hear the whistle. There are about 2x as many hostile mobs as there are boars, so if you see a carrot your trying to get to, you have to fight through several mobs to get to it, and if your lucky it wouldn't have despawned before you got there and there are Felboars nearby you can call to it. Then the mobs are 70, so if you are sub 69, which I would assume most of you are, they will agro you from a football field away, and you'll have 4 of these guys on you before you know it. THEN there's maybe 2 or 3 carrots in that area that will be spawned at one time. Getting 3 or 4 of these would have made more sense, but you have to get a whopping 10 to complete the quest. GG BLIZZ. Also, don't die because the walk back is almost half the zone away......good luck.

If two pigs both get to one tuber, there are two tubers you can pick up!

Comentario de 153790

just whistled on a tuber between 2 boars and got 2 tubes out of one mound because of it.

Comentario de 178214

Yes , this quest is such a pain. coords above are correct

Comentario de Flapalapagus

When you find a Tuber but no boar nearby then look for a flayer fighting a boar. Pull the flayer (not the boar, you cannot aggro the boar and then use the whistle, it won't work) and the boar will come after him, kill the flayer and then use the whistle immediately. Follow the boar because he will go back to where he was originally fighting the flayer and then start digging there, not where the actual tuber is, and the lootable tuber will spawn. Also try and gather as many boars near a single tuber and use the whistle. ALL of the boars near the tuber will dig and a lootable tuber will spawn for each boar so you can get multiple tubers from a single spawn.

Obviously the senior programmers were off the day the did this quest. WAAAAY Buggy. Boars are out of range, when you whistle they don't come and the node disappears, spawn times are random...

I was on a roll before getting this quest...Now I am burnt.

Comentario de smichael4

If you blow the whistle and no Boar comes to dig up the Tuber, the Tuber disappears... So make sure there is a Boar near!

I don't know what they done up on that shelf, but someting to make it a drag to go through for sure. Did this rather easy with my main long time back. Tried today, and spent 40 min, and got 1 tuber. Such a pitty that Blizz makes a required prequest such a drag it's making people sick.

Blizz! /FAIL

Dumbest quest ever. Why the hell would you shoehorn an annoying quest in the midst of a necessary chain that tells much of the story of Outland? I see now why people abandon this quest right at this particular point.

Any place where tubers are....there are NO pigs to dig them up. When you go to search for pigs...they're already dead...cause the flayers are committing non-stop genocide.

To say nothing of the fact that when a player is at this point in the game...all they can think about is gaining as much XP as possible for their time to hit 70 ASAP. Why the hell would you frustrate the hell out of the player?

There are 0 tips for this quest other than continue to bang your head on the keyboard and stick it out if you are a completist. Otherwise, with WotLK 3 weeks out...@#$% THIS QUEST.

Comentario de 168031

IMO the trick is to kill all the flayers and keep the boars safe. The tubers random spawn and random move.

Kill the flayers, keep the boars safe, use the whistle when in range. I found that easier than scouting for tubers then dropping on them and using the whistle.

It also seems that tubers spawn near boars/flayers, like all 3 objects have a set radius. 1 boar, 1 tuber, 1 or more flayers per "area".

Comentario de 264956

worst quest ever

Comentario de aneossino

best thing about this quest is that if you find a tuber that's near 2 felboars and you blow the whistle, both felboars will come, and 2 collectable tubers will spawn :D

Comentario de Scoffy

Ok, so unless you desperately need this quest for the food or the SMV quest achievement (which is why I was doing it)...SKIP THIS QUEST! The piggy's respawn timer is stupidly slow, so if you are trying to protect them and one gets killed near a tuber...don't count on it being back anytime soon. I spent nearly 30 minutes standing around waiting for tubers, then waiting for piggys, then both...I milled around 52.5, 17.5, and finally got about 7 pigs I could keep an eye on, while waiting for the stupid tubers to spawn...and finally got my 10. This quest is quite obtuse...so just skip it.

Comentario de 230503

TIP: A great way to speed this quest up: Clean out the flayers first, then wait about 30 seconds to a minute. Start searching for tubers spaced evenly between boars. If you blow the whistle, any within the range will show up. They will dig up one tuber per boar. So you can actually get 2 or 3 off one ground tuber. Try that and it'll speed things up massively.

Just incase anyone is wondering.. The mounds look like carrots sticking out of the ground. I was looking for mounds of earth or hills. But they are just carrot looking things.

I didn't think this quest was so terrible. Just did it (@ level 80).
Clear out some flayers, find mound, blow the whistle, collect. Rinse/repeat.
Most of the time I was able to get 2 tubers per whistle-blow.

Comentario de 480306

ok I've been flying around looking for tubers, and all I can find is these "Not Tubers"... What am I doing wrong?

Comentario de MakaPL

The easiest way to do it is:

1. Protect any single boar.
2. Find a carrot like thing.
3. Use the quest item.
4. Boar will discover a tuber.

Remeber! More boars You call with Your whistle, more tuber will You recive from a single "carrot" :) (example: if 3 boars will start to dig near the same "carrot", You will get 3 tubers, instead of 1).

Comentario de alvraen

Target a felboar, then use the whistle. It makes sure you're in range, and it's been working like a charm.

I found it a lot easier to first find a boar and then look for a nearby tuber mound. The whole thing took me 5 minutes that way... Didn't need to kill nothing. I had one boar dig up six tubers... Easy as pie.

Comentario de 799999

Unless the writers intended for players to be killing and looting flayers for over an hour and completing the tuber-collecting part of this quest as an afterthought, IMHO this quest appers to have serious design flaws, and is much more of a tantalizing tease than fun. This quest would work for a group of players, but as a solo lvl 71 hunter I found the high ratio of flayers to pigs and respawn rate on the flayers to be so fast that the degree of difficulty of getting a live boar to be anywhere near a tuber when I needed one made this a long-running excercise in near-complete frustration which I abandoned twice halfway through and might never complete unless I come back as a level 80 character with nothing better to do.
Most of the time after the all flayers near me were killed I could not find a boar close enough to respond to the whistle and the tuber would disappear, and I killed a lot of boars as collateral damage when I opened fire on a flayer attacking a boar and the boar got aggravated and turned on me.
There appear to be way too many flayers in this area to keep enough pigs alive near tubers to get this done without an extreme amount of patience and a large investment in time. Get some friends to help with this quest, or be prepared for a long bumpy road to completion.

Comentario de plantemarc

really retarded quest all boar arround are killed by ravenous so when using whistle no boar come and the tube disappears.

Comentario de 733706

This quest was a real pain for all the reasons previously mentioned. But the thing that got me the most was standing next to a plant, blowing the whistle, and looking at a boar who would not respond. Of course the plant vanished shortly thereafter. It was also very angering to see how many plants had no boars anywhere around. Only once did I have two boars respond at the same time and I get get two plants.

They need to make the boar response distance longer to reduce the irritation of what I consider to be a very irritating quest.

BTW, in case you are wondering what the pine cone-looking things with the horns and green glow are, they are Ravenous Flayer eggs, which you will be destroying in the next quest in the chain-a much better quest than this one!

Comentario de 716334

In reply to Ende's comment above, I can confirm that getting multiple boars summoned to a tuber should give you the equivalent number of quest items, as I managed to summon 4 to one location and got 4 tubers - sounds like it was a bit buggy for you. Heartily agree with his opinion of this quest - its a definite front runner for "Most Irritating Quest" award. The location of boars in relation to tubers badly needs sorted out - although, since not that many people ever find their way to this quest anymore, it will probably just stay as it is until the next "cataclysm" type event where a lot of old quests are removed.

Comentario de 882560

This quest is not bugged.

I completed this quest in less then 10 minutes.

This is how you do it.

Kill all the flayers. That way they don't kill the boars.
Then just stand near a spawned tuber and blow the whistle.

Some had 2 or 3 boars digging up a tuber for each boar.

Very simple.

Comentario de 325589

So, I'm thinking probably not too many people are silly like me, and still does BC 68-70 content. I enjoy it way more than the same boring Wrath 68-71 zones - my 4th alt, I did every quest I could in Netherstorm. Now, for my 5th alt, I'm doing every quest I can in SMV. This quest... I remembered being a huge pain back on my first account when we didn't have that choice. And, indeed, I spent about 10 minutes having 0 luck getting any tubers (after first spending around 5 minutes trying to dig up those eggs, and wondering why it wouldn't let me. Those eggs around the east edge of the zone... those aren't tubers.)

But anyway, once I figured out the trick, it only took maybe 10 minutes to pick up the 10. Still a braindead quest, but at least also not difficult. (And I can think of a few quests way more mindnumbingly dumb than this one.) Anyway, the trick is simple, and has been mentioned before, but I'm going to repeat it: just kill every single lousy flayer you see. Any time you see a flayer, anywhere, run over and kill it. Suddenly, you should have no problem finding boars to dig tubers up with!

Comentario de Systex

Worst, quest, ever!
Seriously, took me 15 minutes just to get 2 tubes, there are alot of tubes in the ground, but no boars. On the other shelf, there are alot of boars, but no tubes! Seriously, whoever came up with this idea should be hanged from a tree.

Comentario de Allakhazam

It's starting to bug me.

Not enough tubers. When I do summon the boar, the tuber just disappears. But I don't receive any quest item. I tried it several times and the result is the same.

I ended up wasting the flayers instead.

Bah! I'll try again later.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Okay, here's the deal with this quest.

There's a few unrelated random elements happening in the area: The spawn timing and location of Tubers, Boars and Flayers. Flayers kill the boars. Tubers and living Boars need to be next to each other for you to get your quest item. This can go really well for you or really, really suck. I think it's more likely to suck than go well for you.

I don't think there's any real "trick" to making this easy if things aren't going your way. I can recommend a few things that helped me:

1. Don't stay in one spot. If you're not making progress in one area due to there being no boars or no tubers, go somewhere else.

2. I had better luck overall closer to the NPC than near the end where the elite patrols. There's less Flayers and more tubers overall.

3. If you've managed to get yourself a nice patch of living Boars with no Flayers, but there are no Tubers in sight, I recommend going to other tubers and FORCIBLY DESPAWNING THEM by blowing the whistle twice. I spent a lot of time in one area waiting for a Tuber and happily killing Flayers, yet the Tubers never ever showed up. This made me very angry. I then went around and found a bunch of Tubers but no Boars. I spent some time despawning the tubers, then went back to check on my Boar friends. There were then Tubers there. This leads me to believe there are a fixed amount of Tubers that can spawn, so if they are in crappy locations, you could literally spend hours at this quest waiting for something that will never happen.

4. Near as I can tell, when there's a bunch of dead boars on the ground, that area is pretty much useless. Don't stick around killing Flayers in the vain hope a boar will spawn. There's a good chance it'll take a ridiculous amount of time, and also be hard. For example near the end where 3 Flayer packs attack the boars.. Good luck keeping those alive..

Have fun.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Occasionally you'll find a tuber or a patch of tubers with no boars within whistle range.

So....attack a boar. Bring it in close. Then blow the whistle. They will dig up tubers even while in combat.

A variation on this is to use an AOE on a boar locked in combat with a Flayer, pull them both in towards the tuber, and then blow the whistle.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Comentario de Allakhazam

The boars seem to be assigned to particular tuber spawns because several times I used the whistle and called, but boars only 5 yards away wouldn't come, which was the most annoying thing that I ran into while doing this. You'll need to constantly clear the flayers so that the boars remain available when the tubers do spawn. Erm, and one thing for mages and other classes that use AoE attacks - do not use AoE on the flayers if one has already engaged a boar because the boar will aggro and you'll have to kill it too. >_>

Let me try and make the steps simplier :

1: goto arround 54,14 area, looks on the ground look for
Shadowmoon tuber mound.
2: step ontop of the mound, wait Domesticated Boar NEAR you,
then blow the "Oronok's Boar Whistle". Boar will come and dig
the mound and POP "Shadowmoon tuber", your quest item.

p.s. after wistle the tuber mound will disapear soon, so
if no boar near you and come to dig, you miss a chance and need
to find another mound.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Finding Oronok Torn-heart is what it should be called look for the Coilfang Cistern, go the the west side of it a trail leads up and around the north end of the hill/mountain he is on top in a quaint little corral with boars all around. (He is not in the cistern itself.)

Comentario de Allakhazam

Do yourself a favor, just abandon this quest, complete waste of time, i tryed the whole pull a boar to the tuber trick, but you end up aggoring alot of flayers, and if you cannot use any type of aoe ability/spell, which sucks for mages. I dropped Stoneclaw one time when i got 3 guys on me, and after the fight was over, boar started attackign me cuz it aggored him, this quest is not worth the time if ur trying to level or just get money.

Comentario de Allakhazam

It doesn't seem repeatable. However, it is do-able. Just clear some Flayers, eventually a tuber and a boar spawn close enough. Yes, the tubers despawn, but they respawn as well. Those closes to the ramp are probably the easiest. If two boars are near a tuber, you can get 2 for 1.

Comentario de Allakhazam

you can only blow the whistle 2 times near the tuber or it despawns

Comentario de Allakhazam

Comentario de Allakhazam

Ive never posted on a thread here before but had to vent my frustration at the WORST quest ive ever done in WOW. If i dont get a damn boar over to a tuber im going to impale it on my staff and spit roast it :(

Comentario de Allakhazam

I agree this quest in annoying way to many things killing boars and not enough boars near the tubers, although i did find something interesting, if u luckily have two boars in the vacinity and use the whistle both will come and u'll get to tuber spawns to click on. fun fun but pretty rare b/c of the above

Comentario de Allakhazam

The problem here is that when you find a tuber (easier for herbalists since they do show up on the mini-map), there never seems to be a pig around. However, there are almost always flayers attacking pigs. So, pull the flayer and kite him to the tuber. The pig will follow and help you kill the flayer. Make sure you're right on top of the tuber and blow the whistle as soon as you kill the flayer. Sometimes the pig will dig as soon as you make the kill without the whistle.

Comentario de Allakhazam

This quest is annoying as hell.

a) Don't use any AoE spells that might hit a pig if you're defending it from a flayer. The pig will just attack you.

b) Some of the pigs spawn and immediately die.

c) Some of the pigs stay on top of the body of the flayer that just died, and won't run back to where they were.

d) The pigs must be really close to you before you blow the whistle on a tuber.

e) DO NOT blow the whistle on a tuber unless you're SURE the pig will come. The tubers will despawn if the pig is not near enough.

f) It's hard to keep up with the flayer respawn rates. Areas that you just cleared will repop by the time the pigs repop.

g) The little fissures in the ground have a lot of places in which you cannot run up. I got stuck a lot.

This has to be the single most annpying quest I have tried to complete. even the friggin monstrous birds in terrokar pale in comparison to this. The mobs are everywhere, repspawn faster than rabbits mate, and troll an elite with them. Much love to Blizzard for taking my money on a monthly rate to just flat out beat my ass with quests that are damn hard, and group dungeons I'll never get the F in to.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I found it actually helps to do it as a group. When one person gets his ten, before he turns the quest in, he can still use the whistle to dig up the tubers for others and defend the pigs from the flayers... and maybe even kill that damned elite too

Thank God this one is over and I hope Blizzard never does another like this one.

It seems to me that if you fail to call the pig twice, the tuber dissapears, or maybe that is just false cause and effect

Comentario de Allakhazam

I, like so many others, hated this quest with a passion, although I have hated others more. As someone else posted, the mounds spawn where the are no pigs, the pigs like to taunt the flayers and get themselves killed, and in the rare case that there is a mound near a pig, there's a good chance you're got 2 flayers on it trying to kill it. I did manage to finish it because of one very lucky thing, I got 4 pigs on one tuber.
Anyone try the advice of despawning other tubers in bad areas to get ones in good areas? Did it work?

Comentario de Allakhazam

Damn boars never got near the tubers.......><

Comentario de Allakhazam

Personally I found the rewards not worth it (as linked above). Admittedly I was already 70 then and had better gear. Blizzard seriously needs to nerf this, reduce the number of mobs to pigs at least.

As it stands, I can spend over 30 minutes looking for a place that has a live pig and a tuber, risk getting slaughtered by the elite, or I can find something with a better effort to reward ratio.

Screw this one.

one good thing about this quest... if you have 2 (or more!) felboars within range of your whistle, they both come to the tuber, both dig, and both produce a tuber. double your money!

Comentario de Allakhazam

If two boars are in range of the same tuber node then they'll both come over and dig up two tubers for you :D

Comentario de Allakhazam

Took a little while, maybe 20 minutes, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.

Go to around 55,16. Don't walk around too large an area. Protect 4 or 5 boars and wait for the tuber mounds to spawn. Keep the boars in that area alive. When you see a tuber mound and there's a boar nearby, use the whistle. At one point I had 3 boars all run to the same mound, and that produces 3 of the tubers you need.

You don't want to blow the whistle while a boar is not near, the mound will despawn.

Just stay in one area, kill the Ravenous Flayers, keep 4 or so boars alive, you'll get it eventually.

Comentario de Allakhazam

real nice spot at 53, 15, got a few double tubers there.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Not necessarily bugged, but requires patience. Though, I do think Blizzard could work on this quest to make it less annoying. Just camp one spot and don't move around too much, keep the boars alive.

Ultimately, I want more Tubers. >:(

52 17 is the right place and the quest is not too bad. Find a live pig near a tuber and kill any flayers around it while not aggroing the pig. Then use whistle only when standing exactly on top of a tuber and the pig is not too far away. Otherwise skip tuber and find another. There are bunch around.

This quest is obnoxious, for reasons already stated.

However! If you can keep boars alive that are close together - close enough that 2 come running when you blow the whistle - they will both dig up tubers from the same mound. This makes it go a bit faster.

PS: Since the boars are targetable, AoEs such as Seed of Corruption are a bad idea. >.<

This quest will take you some time to complete. Be prepared to get angry and frustrated while doing it, as well...

Best way to do it is to find an area a simply keep it clean for flayers. Then wait around for the respawn of the Tuber Mounds and use the whistle when the piggies are near enough. You don't want to whistle when they are too far away. 15-20ish yards or so or else the tuber moiunds will despawn.

Good luck. The mounds can be found everywhere on the shattered Plains - I found it easiest to do at the entrance to his farm.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Where there are carrots there are no pigs. Where there are pigs there are no carrots. If for some reason a pig and a carrot are near each other you can be sure that the pig is being killed by an insectoid because they are everywhere.

Really annoying quest. First I got no carrots, then I got no carrots, then I suddenly had 9. Of course I couldn't get the 10th because pigs, carrots and insectoids just don't cooperate. Finally I got the last though but I really don't like this quest.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Worst quest ever in 800 levels of WoW. Never never, ever ever, saw a quest so buggy as this. And yet I finished it! What a sad, strange tale.

First tuber mound, first tuber. Very cool.

Then the mad flayer spawn started & I simply couldn't keep boars alive long enough to ... oh, did I mention vanishing tuber mounds? I couldn't keep the boars alive long enough to dig up tubers that disappeared anyway. This is happening to me on my 70 warlock. The tuber mounds disappear, the flayers spawn a million times too fast, and right about when there are (no kidding) a dozen flayers nearly right on top of me, the elite matriarch shows up & flays me into a million small bits.

A corpse run & 20 more minutes saw me with only 3 tubers. I would've quit but I was ... still ... getting ... tubers ...

All in all, it was a very bizarre experience. I finally got my 10 tubers just by hanging around & finally stacking up enough of them that didn't bug-vanish out. Click on a tuber, it vanishes. Click on another tuber, it vanishes. Click on another tuber, it vanishes & 2 flayers attack. Meanwhile 5 other flayers are killing the other 4 boars in sight. Now there's 2 tuber roots ready to pick right together, apparently from tubers that vanished 5 minutes ago ... but wait, I can't pick either one, they're both vanishing ...

Man ... is this why they issue rolling resets? To clear out gunked quests?

/Salute to everyone who did this without trouble. This happened to more than just me here today. Very very very weird. Glad it's done.

Comentario de Allakhazam

some of these flayers seem to be on an instant bugged respawn, well done blizz, well done...

Comentario de Allakhazam

The quest seems to have been de-bugged. Took about 15-20 minutes.
My advice:

clear a smallish area of flayers, and keep it clear. Take Auto-Cleave off your felguard if you're a lock (it kills the boars too).
And, importantly, don't blow the whistle unless a boar's near - it makes the plant disappear.

Comentario de Allakhazam

1. Find a tuber.
2. Find a boar fighting a flayer. Take agro from the boar. DO NOT HIT THE BOAR.
3. Pull the fight to the tuber.
4. Finish the fight and immediately blow the whistle on the tuber.

The boar will run back to where it was, but then it will run back to you and dig up the tuber.

The earlier strategy of clearing a area around a set of boars works. The tubers will spawn up among them pretty quick. The Boars will come to a mound you call them too with in a fairly small range. You do have to have a little patience.

Obviously, the larger the area of boars you can protect, the greater the chance a tuber will spawn in it. And, if you can get two boars to come to the same mound, it will generate two tubers.

This quest really is just the worst one I have been given so far in BC.
Poor spawn rates, boars nowhere near mobs or tubers, make me wonder what Blizzard were smoking when they thought this up...

Comentario de Allakhazam

Don't listen to these noobs, they obviously don't know how to play. This quest is easy as pie and took me 10 minutes to complete. Tip: Kill the flayers that are already attacking the felboars, as there is a good chance a tuber mound is nearby.

u must be used to very tedious quests

read below:

THIS QUEST BLOWS CHUNKS. WORST QUEST EVER,

most ppl here hate it. why wud u post in ssuch bright color?

are u an astroturfer?

"This is the quest that eventually leads up the 25 man Tempest Keep key ..weather it sucks or not, you'll have to do it if you ever want in there." yup.

this is a time water quest bigtime. you should be allowed to skip parts of a chain quest getn no gold/xp/items, just move on to next one. and developers who make quests that a lot of people skip shud be fired

Comentario de Allakhazam

I stood on the tuber, blew the whistle...all I got was the message "need bah blah blah tuber" I was standing right on top, doing what everyone is saying. Not going to abandon, but would like any comment or other hints. I will contact Blzd about it as well.

Comentario de Allakhazam

The key to this quest is keeping a few boars alive long enough for the roots to spawn. If you clear the flayers out of an area, and then defend the boars as they are attacked, the roots will spawn and you will have enough boars around when you blow the whistle.

A few times, I was able to get 3 boars to come when they heard the whistle, which equaled 3 tubors.

Just keep them alive long enough to let the roots spawn.

Don't I need a snufflenose control stick for this?

Comentario de Allakhazam

This mission is weak tea on so many distinct levels..., oh how shall I count the ways. The spawns of the monsters are so high I thought maybe I was playing Gauntlet and there was a monster generator I had to kill. The damn pigs would run away from the tuber points, and when you think the dumb animal is close enough they aren't and wont go near the point and then walk away from it and you lose the tuber because you blew the wistle, then two bad guys run at your stupid pig and proceed to kick the snot out of it, in which case I really had to ask myself 'Do I want something this stupid to live, they cost me a point'. Moral of the story. Weak weak weak. Crumple this mission into the little dustbin of missions you were glad you didn't touch cause it would have made you insane.

Comentario de Allakhazam

This quest is required for the "Cipher of Damnation" questline.
In the end stand some very good rewards (maybe depending on class), and the access questline for the Tempest Keep instance "The Eye" (25man).
Reference for the Tempest Keep access http://www.wowwiki.com/Instance_attunement.

About the quest: It is pretty easy to do, just keep killing the Flayers in a certain area, and wait until the boards respawn. Then just use the whistle at the tubers, some will even attract 2-3 boars, and each will create 1 box for you to pick up.

This one is really easy for hunters, just agro a couple pigs to a tuber then FD and blow whistle should be done in no time

Comentario de Allakhazam

you have to wait 3-4 seconds for the dug up item to show up. just wait.
the only bug I saw was a boar spawning dead. it showed up and fell over.

Comentario de Allakhazam

...i found this quest excruciatingly easy.

Comentario de Allakhazam

THIS IS THE DUMBEST QUEST EVER IN WoW. Dont waste your time. A complete pain in the ass.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Theres nothing NOOB about this quest or people complaining about it, your a jerk for thinking so. Its all on random spawns, you should know this by now sincing its a close to level 70 quest. It could be easy and it could be difficult depending on your luck of the spawn, gloating like saying "Oh well I got 4 boars on one tube" shows your a freakin' noob and you need uninstall WoW while you should of said "Hey I got lucky" which you were. Yea I got a couple where two fel boars came to one tube, but also the tubes randomly spawn and dissapear, I would defend a couple boars near a tube and it dissapeared after I killed the two attackers, so its all up to whatever spawns, don't take advice from "noobs" who truly show themselves as being just that because they breezed through a quest and got lucky.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Wow this has to be the most....overrated quest in difficulty. You complainers are pathetic. Easy quest if you know what you are done.

Comentario de Allakhazam

how the @#$% do u pick up the tubars ?

Comentario de Allakhazam

nm works now

Comentario de Allakhazam

One, please stop complaining. No, this quest does not follow the familiar formula of "please kill 14 monsters, and bring back 13 toenails". It is different, and that's what makes it fun.

Two, a little trick I discovered is to wait until a flayer is fighting a pig. Then help the pig kill the flayer. The pig will hold aggro for a while (sometimes too long). This will lower the number of flayers, and raise the number of pigs with less effort.

At one time I had 2 pigs digging at once and got 2 tubers in one shot.

Comentario de Energetic3

Did this on 2021 TBC Classic . Pretty easy quest. You just use an item on top of a carrot like plant and nearby boars come and dig it. Then a new plant spawns which you just loot.All you have to do is to check that ,closeby aggresive minions dont attack the boars.

Comentario de HiggyNess

If a boar is attacked in the middle of the digging, he will finish it after the combat is over, provided, of course, that it's still alive.

Comentario de 256124

I'd give this a miss if you get frustrated by poorly designed quests. The boars are constantly being killed in the area and in addition to this a lot of the ones that are alive are nowhere near the tubers. That's before you even get into competition with other players.

Also if a boar is out of range when you use the whistle it despawns the tuber, although hilariously if two boars are in range you get two tubers....

Comentario de SBahnBerlin

Whoever designed this quest, and made it mandatory for the Eye attunement, shall rot in the depths of hell.

1.) The tuber mounds despawn randomly.
2.) You have to stand EXACTLY on the tuber mound in order to use the whistle. Otherwise you just get the error "requires shadowmoon tuber mound" even if you stand right next to it.
3.) If no boar is around and you use the whistle, the tuber mound will just despawn.
4.) The boars are constantly fighting and killed by the nearby flayers. If you try to "rescue" by killing the flayers attacking it, it will just attack you and ignore the whistle.
5.) If you whistle and a boar is nearby, it will stop digging if anything aggro-able is nearby, AND despawn the tuber mound.
6.) If you somehow managed to successfully call over a boar and let it dig up, a lootable object will spawn. Then some idiot can just come over and steal your quest object.

I really don't like flaming and at least try to be constructive when criticizing, but this quest just. SUCKS. BALLS.

Comentario de Maychu

Shadowmoon tuber mound is a root you find on the ground, kinda hard to see it as the color is very similar to the ground color.
Once you find one, simply stand close to it and use the whistle.
Note that if there are no Domesticated Felboars around it won't work that is why you also have to clear the Ravenous Flayer killing them.
