The opening of the tunnel to stone tallon is 43,71 of Ashenvale- a spot called 'The Talondeep Path'. Only a few lvl 22 bears in the area.
Once through the tunnel you drop out at Windshear Crag (78,43 of Stonetalon Mountains). Your quest objective is 37,8 of Stonetalon Mountains. To get there you must travel south to 60,71 (though a good number of lvl 19 & 20 mobs) before turning north. Can pick up another quest ('Super Reaper 6000) at 59,62.
If you have the 'On guard in Stonetalon' quest Kaela is 60,67 (after turning north) on the cliff. Once you get to 'Keeper Albagorm' make sure you get the flight path.

This is quite a lengthy journey for only 675xp, make sure you have other quests in the areas you're travelling through and grab as many as you can along the way.

27???

After i managed to run away from a attacking pack (6) of kinda' hyina's of level 30+ and all the strange dino's around me where lvl 30 or ??, i started wondering where i took a wrong turn...

Comment by 115077

Can anyone post a map or something? How do i know where those co-ords are?

Comment by Viserate

The drop rate on these is horrible. But at least I got some good leather from skinning.

Comment by 115037

Don't forget to get the flight path while your there.

Comment by 294849

Are there any prereq to this quest. Wowhead claims i have'nt done it, but at lvl 80 im not able to pick this one up

Comment by Thottbot

He's at 36,8

Comment by Thottbot

Since you all have probs to find the cave.
It's at 42,70

Comment by Thottbot

the cave isnt the big door frame its just next to it up a hill

Comment by Thottbot

The cave by the lake is easy to find, the quest states the location clearly.

'To the south, not far from Mystral Lake, there lies a tunnel named The Talondeep Path.'

This is exactly where it is.

Once you get there, you have to make your way through the logging camp and all the spiders. I used the Cat Form and Prowl to get by them. THere were just too many in close proximity to try and battle them myself.

Once thru the camp, just follow the main path south and then north, you cannot miss it. Then you will see the signs for Stonetalon Peak.

The location of Keeper Albagorm is 37,8.

Comment by Thottbot

Ugg. I must have died four times looking for the cave to WEST of the Ruins of Stardust. Its EAST as in ---> that way.

<bonks Chironua atop his dirrectionally challenged head>

If you don't yet have your Ashenvale map filled in like me, its easy to mistake the lake everyone is talking about for the Stardust one. Mystral Lake is South East of Astranaar town. The cave is just to the west of Mystral lake.

Comment by Thottbot

I had nothing on my map, so couldn't find Mystral Lake. Head south from Astranaar. When you reach The Ruins of Stardust ---> go east until you reach the lake. Just WEST of the lake where the mountain begins, you'll find The Talondeep path at 42.71. It's a big opening, you can't miss it once you're there.

Comment by Thottbot

In the quest there is the clue when you are through the cave: go southwest beyond the lake. I walked there and died several times for nothing. You must go mainly south and a little west. You do not want to go to the lake but must cross the river that comes from the lake. There is a clear pass through the mountens and there you will find a clear path. follow that all the way north. The path will end with some trees on the road. You must go on and keep to the left. Look at your map and it will be clear.
Use your stealthform often when you are lvl 20/21 or lower because the beast can be too strong or there are to many. The spidereggs look nice but there will come two little spiders who call for help from the big ones.

Comment by Thottbot

This quest was pretty easy...I didnt die once...nor did I even get attacked...im a lvl 18 rouge. I just followed the lefthand side of the mountains after the talondeep path and it lead me right to a path and right around the corner was the person I needed to talk to to...

Comment by Thottbot

this quest drove me nuts because the coordinates did not make any sence. This girl is indeed at 59,66 BUT it is in the Stonetalon Mountains - No one specified that, so go through that little cave that is south of astranar and follow the road :)

Comment by Thottbot

At 43,57 on the path, go directly south and you will find the path.

Comment by Thottbot

Look, the quest name is "Journey to Stonetalon PEAK" not Mountains! Therefore, the majority of coors given here for the keeper are bull#$%^ coords because they are not even at the PEAK. The Correct Coords are 37,8 standing right on top of him. In front of the moonwell. If he is not there then a horde probably killed him because he can be killed without aggroing others.

Comment by Thottbot

This quest is pretty useless unless you want to get the Stonetalon flight path. I was level 19 when I got this, and there weren't any follup quests for my level in the area. Skip this if you're looking for efficient XP gain.

Comment by Thottbot

When a quests crosses 2 zones, specify WHICH DAM ZONE you're talking about when giving coords.

Comment by Thottbot

You get hardly nothin... lousy 675 EXP..:P blah... not worth the ganking by hordies... every time

Comment by Thottbot

37,8

Comment by Thottbot

to find keeper albagorn, on arrival at Stonetalon peak run to the ruins type thing in the middle, take a right and hes stood next to the moonwell thingy

Comment by Thottbot

This quest was relatively easy to solo with my lvl 18 NE Druid. From Astranaar, travel south East to the Talondeep Path (Ashenvale 42,72). Watch out for the lvl 22 bears around that area! There are no mobs inside the pass however. Once you reach the other side, you need to travel to Stonetalon Peak, and Keeper Albagorm is at Stonetalon Mountains 37,8. Just after you get through the Talondeep Path, you have to go through an area with tonnes of lvl 19-21 mobs. They are close together, so difficult to pick them off one at a time. If you get surrounded like I did, try to run, but if you die just res at the graveyard (which is past all the nasty spiders) and continue on your merry way. Res sickness shouldn't be a problem, because the rest of the journey is beast-free if u stick to the path.

Comment by Thottbot

This quest was a complete pain.
Firs the walk is a LONG LONG way away from where it's picked up. The description of the location within the quest is very deceiving. It sounds as if as soon as you come out of the cave that you are there. Not so. It's a long walk and as far as I can tell the only point is to get you the transportation location.

Sheesh.... THIS took me over an hour just walk it. ugh....

Oh, yeah and the coordinates are correct 39,8. That's '8' not '80' which is another reason why I was confused. I kept looking for '80'.

39,8

Comment by Thottbot

Once through Talondeep Cave, I tried to fight a spider (lvl 21). Before I defeated it, another attacked me. Then, some kind of bird joined the fracas. I hate spiders. I am extremely arachnaphobic. Just a warning to anyone as stupid as I am!

Comment by Thottbot

tunnel entrance 42,70
after tunnel coords 59,66 (south-west from tunnel exit)

Comment by Thottbot

i am only lvl 22 so the quest u get after this one is a little tough for me. luckily ther is a flight master there who lets me fly back to astranaar, ashenvale, and darnassus. so i had plenty of options where to go after this. all in all it was good XP because i discovered so many places. ^.^

Comment by Thottbot

Maaan this was a long and difficult journey, I had someone of a higher level help me through this one...But we made it there

Comment by Thottbot

Holy cow, this is a LONG hike. I did this with my lvl 20 hunter and faithful pet. When you head east out of town (that's to the right for you folks with east/west left/right issues like me), travel a bit to a dip in the road. There are two lampposts on either side of the path and you'll see more lampposts down the dirt path. It's at 53, 58. Travel past Silverwind Refuge and Mystral Lake - stick to the path unless you're lvl 22 or higher and can deal with the lvl 23+ beasties. My geo marker said 42, 71. When you go through the tunnel, stay on the main (yellow) path - no bad guys in here. When you get to the other side, avoid the hut to the left - there's a horde beasty of unknown lvl standing there. For the most part, the forest beasts are lvl 20 or less, just a lot of them. And if you think you're close to the end of the quest, you're not.

You've gotta keep going SW past the lake - and through a mining camp - but the guys there are all lvl 21 or less (hunters, turn on track humanoids and you'll be all set). Get past the lake (I skirted along the edge) and then cross the river. Then, look on the big map - you'll see a path to the south marked with stepping stones - get yourself there and then once you're thru the pass, head north.

The hard part about the lake area for me is that the ground didn't have a clear "path" - it was all dry reddish dirt - I kept expecting a "path" Wandered around there for a bit and was getting pretty annoyed.

After you get on the path heading north, remember this, it's a long walk/run. Cheetah aspect is a wonderful thing, isn't it fellow hunters?

Once you arrive, make sure you get the flight path - totally worth the 2s 97c rather than hike back.

Good luck!

Comment by Thottbot

Stonetalon Peak Flight Path 36,7 just got there. Confirmed

Comment by Thottbot

just completed this quest solo on lvl 19 NE druid.... died 2 times but finally made it thru... dont 4get to get the flight path

Comment by Thottbot

I don't know why people are making this so complicated, and call me a noob until sunrise, I don't even know how to use or find "Coordinates". But if you look at the screen shots, they show maps and have what you need circled in RED. And oh yeah I did this as A LVL 19 NE Hunter, SOLO with out one demise.

Comment by Thottbot

I just hate it when people don't say where it is but they tell you to take it.

The entrance for talondeep path was at 81,30

Comment by Allakhazam

The mobs in Stonetalon after you leave the tunnel seem to be harder than the ones you meet enroute.

The quest description needs some work - I spent a while wandering around the initial valley looking for a "steep path" north, (i.e. up a mountain), which there are many but they all eventually lead nowhere.

When you leave the tunnel, you really need to head southwest a WAYS until you find a road, then follow that road Northwest. You won't be heading north, you'll be heading north west. It's not even a steep slope. The hardest part of this quest is avoiding the goblins and spiders while you're heading SW towards the road.

Comment by Allakhazam

Hi

I am curious about how do you know the coordinates on the world map in the game. (E.g. map 58.67. Is there a key or function in the game that will allow me to see the coordinates in the game?

Comment by Allakhazam

the correct location is 37,8. upper left hand corner of map.

Comment by Allakhazam

I've done it at 21 priest, never fought a mob (really not, I got 1 spider out of curiosity and one annoying Venture guy) and always running, I got stopped just 2-3 times by spider web but nothing serious, I've got heal skills but 4-5 heal pots are enough if you can't heal yourself.

/signed about a lv 18 being hardcore, I suggest do it at 20 min.

Quest details have been updated. Please let us know if this is incorrect.

Comment by Allakhazam

map 58.67 is where Keeper Albagorm is i was level 19 night elf hunter didnt find the quest to hard except for finding right where to go once i got in the area once you get there you get another quest that you can do while your still in the area which is easy also!

Comment by Allakhazam

The tunnel to go to stonetalon peak is at 42.71. Ive been looking for it quiet some time.

Comment by Allakhazam

hi all
im stood next to the keeper albagorm as i type, and he is located at 37.8 not 58.67!.

This coordinate reference is in relation to the map you get AFTER you come through the tunnel from astrannar.

Head my warning, or end up walking for ages following the wrong coordinates!

:)

In answer to the other question. to get coordinates on your map, you need to download the add-on to enable them..

Type CTmod into google, download and install... many nice addons in that pack

Comment by Allakhazam

I'm not sure why so many people say they had a hard time finding the tunnel b/c there is a lighted path leading to it.

From the road through Ashenvale heading east: after passing through Astranaar you will see small ruins on the south side of the road just before you reach a tower called Rayne's Retreat. The path is across the road (or south). Look for two lanterns close together slightly off the main road, then the path goes down a little hill (watch out at the bottom of the hill for some level 23ish Furbolgs, but easy to avoid just keep running through toward the lanterns). The path runs along the west side of Mystral Lake, you can look for the lake on your map. Silverwing Retreat is on the lake with a few trainers and suppliers & a quest. From the lake retreat follow the path west toward the mountains. There are a few lvl 21 or 22 ashenvale bears blocking the way that you will might have to kill. Entrance to tunnel is at 43,71 in Ashenvale.

Once through the tunnel, make your way South through Windshear Craig. You will first have to make it through some spiders. Just take it slow to avoid aggro, or just keep running. Then you have to cross through the Venture Lumber Co. These guys should be more your level and pretty easy to make it through. Then you will find some more spiders, and finally the road. From here you should see a sign leading you back North up the road straight to Stonetalon Peak. Stonetalon Peak is at the end of the road as far North as you can go, it's a long walk 37,8. Don't forget to get the flightpath.

p.s. if you want to be lazy & avoid the mobs, just die and resurect at the graveyard, but you might miss picking up a quest. The graveyard is on the road and it's an easy run up to the Peak from there.

Don't do this quest if you're level 18, it isn't worth it and you'll most likely get ganked, either by mobs or Horde. Wait until you're well into the 20s to do it, and if you happen to have the time, pick up the Retrieval for Mauren quest in Stormwind (if not you can conveniently pick it up later while doing another quest).

When you're actually heading north to Stonetalon Peak be careful as there are plenty of Horde around, and a few like to just sit around and gank anyone who passes by. I happened to bump into a lv32 druid and hunter on the way out of Stonetalon Peak (where the path gets really narrow) and only got away because of feral swiftness.

Comment by Allakhazam

I agree, I'm lvl 22 Hunter, went on my own, died 3 times. Getting to tunnel was the easy part. When you get out "Windshear Crag" is full of lvl 20-24 humiods and beasts. I used my hunter "track humaniods" ability to avoid most of the mobs but it was still a pain in the back side. The mods are ranged with concussion so if you get hit your screwed (which you will do a fair bit).

Recommend going in group of no less than 3, Lvl 18+ or solo at lvl 25+.

Comment by Allakhazam

Soloed it as a LV 20 Druid, turned into Cat Form and prowled around the larger groups.
Finding the peak is an absolute pain if you follow the quest's instructions. The peak is to the VERY North, way past Mirkfallon lake. I was looking down South, never expected it to be all the way up there.

Comment by Allakhazam

But why am I killed three times by the water elements and the 23+ beasts around the lake? Is this indeed a lvl 18 quest?

Comment by Allakhazam

Well at level 18 as a NE Priest, I solo'ed alone. I also Died, Died, Died..just in case I did not say it loud enough I DIED! about 5-8 times..:) But I did make it. I knew some of the area due to my Horde Character, but it had been a long while since i been thru these spots. So Trying to avoid aggro and make it ..was most difficult. I would strongly suggest bringing company....

Comment by Allakhazam

I know that I'm probably being really stupid but.......... I just can't find Stonetalon Peak! I've followed the helpful road signs to the Peak, turned left just before Mirkfallon Lake and I've found Stonetalon Mountains, but I just can't find Stonetalon Peak. Please can someone tell me where I'm going wrong, because if I don't find Keeper Albagorm soon I may go mad. And the prospect of insanely charging into Sun Rock Retreat isn't that appealing!

Don't bother, I've found it. The moral is if you can't find somewhere and you've looked everywhere, then look further afield! Having now travelled past Mirkfallon Lake and them some I've discovered Stonetalon Peak. The quest directions really don't do justice to the distance!

Comment by Allakhazam

this mission is pretty hard to do at 18, and now that we are over a week into the game, there are lots of horde all over the place making it pretty tough to do unless you have a decent group to defend a possible ganking. i would wait until you're lvl 20 and get some other people together to help.

Comment by Allakhazam

Well I just finished this quest, and am quite surprised that it's rated at 18 level. I was very lucky that I had someone show me the way to the tunnel, even though I had the coordinates, it was a bit tricky to find my way around and through the MOBS. When you are in Ashenvale, I recommend traveling north and around rather than south.

My problem was once you get out of the tunnel, you are in a state of confusion because you don't really know where to go. 'There is no defined path or direction'. I would suggest you follow xgecko's advice and head SW right through the lower level MOBS. I know most people try to find a way around the MOBS but it is nearly impossible on this one. You have to kind of go right through the little mining camp...but definitely do that because the MOBS there are only around level 18 and you can fight them off one by one. Once you cross the river, continue to travel SW until you run into the road. After you cross the river as well, you go through a small area of 'a lot' of spiders! If you have some good armor on you, and are at least a 20, what I would say is just do what I did and barrel your way through. Run right through the middle of them. They will chase you and you will take hits, but I made it all the way through with 50% of my health still remaining! Just run and don't stop! After you get through the spiders...the road won't be far.

Good luck. This was a rough one...but can be done if you're patient!

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest might sort of suck, I think. Still thinking about it.

It takes you through an inhospitable zone (lots of angry level 20 mobs) to find a tunnel to another inhospitable zone (lots of angry level 18-24 mobs) in order to travel a fairly long way (half hour at least... I think I took 45 minutes) to find Stonetalon Peak.

But the main suck factor is, that Keeper Albagorm has a followup mission for you... that he won't give me at 19, so you probably won't get it if you do this at 18 either.

I got 840 Exploration XP on the way, and 675 for completing the mission. So not too shabby for what's basically an exploration mission.

Stonetalon Peak is another Hippogriff Route to unlock, so that's pretty exciting. The town offers a General Supplies vendor who sells meat for all my fellow hunters.

But I'm still not sure if this is worth your time since there's much quicker was to get the equal amount of XP. Well, I'm gonna quit kvetchin now.

Thanks to Aeinsheli of Server 10 (beta) for being my guide!

Okay I've spent 3 hours wandering around trying to find the peak. I came to this site after logging off and will be going back in tomorrow to see if I can find it based of the info I found on here.

Man alive or should I say Dead cause thats what I did multiple darn times....

Glad this forum exists I am a level 21 hunter and found thouse flying lion things (too many of them) and they killed me 3 times.
