Despite how exciting the quest may seem lorewise, it's actually quite a disappointment. Basically you end up using the new phasing mechanic to enter a parallel Shrine of Remulos that has the same terrain, a greenish fade filter, and some plant mobs that turn into clones of you when aggroed. You find the acorn, loot it, and then remove the sleeping buff and you're done.

Next quest is Time Yet Remains.

Crusader Bridenbrad is at 71,30

If you move just after accepting this quest, it cancels the casting of the portal back to Icecrown. You then have to abandon the quest and re-accept it from Remulos and let the cast complete before it will appear to his right.

...what?

No portal, even after trying again. Better have hearth up. Luckily I only had 10 minutes.

To open the portal following:

Stand right infront of him when you take the quest, almost like you should kiss him or else the portal wont open.
If you already have taken the quest, then re-take it

It appears that this quest and the previous don't count towards any achievements at all, not for WTLK neither for Kalimdor nor for general quests.

If anybody wonders where the crusader is or doesnt remember, just go to icecrown @ 79,30 and you'll find him ...

...what?

I'm thinking that whoever wrote the completion text was drunk at the time. Or maybe they got their two-year old to do it for them.

Any druids thinking of using this portal as a quick jump to nothrend? Just teleport to moonglade then accept the quest for the portal and abandon afterward. Rinse and repeat as needed.

Edit: final quest is "light within the darkness" depending on what you would rather have. Missing out on that loot and a bunch of argent crusade rep or a quick portal to nothrend.

So here's an interesting tidbit:

I couldn't get the portal to open that Remulos is supposed to make, and after abandoning the quest and retaking it three times, I decided to hearth back to Dalaran and just fly the rest of my way on my swift flyer. Bad, bad choice. The quest will remain uncompleted unless you take the portal back, which he's got issues about summoning. Great.

"Plant the seed - I am ready."
-Crusader Bridenbrad

if i didnt have an acorn in pocket i would think that was kinda wrong sounding...
.... and the above sentence sounds wrong as well.

As a druid who can teleport to moonglade, abandoning and taking this quest again seems like an easy way to get to Northrend. The portal takes you to a corner of Icecrown very close to Dalaran.

Comment by parkscarzonroof

Long story short I had deleted the seed for the quest and had gone to hand it a more than once and could not grasp why it was marked completed, but could never finish it.

Going back to moonglade is a pita, but he dose re-open a portal back to Arch Druid Lilliandra so if you need to burn your hearth to get too moonglade you still do have a free ride back to northrend.

It made a 45 trip into less than 10. Flying from darn/tb to moonglade being the largest chunk.

...so druid's wanting an any-time free trip to northrend between 77 and 80 can keep abandoning this quest over and over utilizing Teleport: Moonglade

Comment by 257415

As previously noted, there is a problem with the portal spawning for this quest. I asked a GM about it and got a respose noting that if you move shortly after accepting the quest or if you are mounted while accepting the quest it won't spawn properly.

Comment by Jahamakarahl

To add is that this counts as a Icecrown quest and therefore gives no credit in the "kalimdor quests completed" achievement

Comment by Roulade

Not only is this quest incredibly helpful for druids (Moonglade port, start quest, use portal, abandon quest), it also works while in a raid, just tested this.

Comment by Fellwing

For those that didn't know, this quest line was a dedication to a one Brad Bridenbecker, brother to Rob Bridenbecker VP of Online Technologies. Brad had suffered from cancer and was an avid WoW player. His brother requested some memorial be set up for his brother and Chris Metzen, along with others, thought up this quest line to immortalize his battle with cancer within our beloved fantasy realm.

Hats off to you, Blizzard, Chris Metzen, and the whole Bridenbecker family. As a childhood cancer survivor myself, you have my utmost respect and loyalty to your honor and vision. You've truly epitomized the struggle of one going through the sickness, the battle, in the most accurate way possible, and bring honor to all of us who have suffered, and have watched those who have suffered, the same battle.

Lok'tar, brother Brad. Lok'tar.

While the typo was fixed the glitch with the portal is still there.

While i understand the deep and meaningful reason for this quest and i respect it, the typo, the planting the seed quote, and the fact that inorder to get the portal working one must basicly put their face in an elf-deer man's crotch IS funny when viewed all together.

All together though, R.I.P. Brad.

Fun fact: if you're a druid, the little nightmare monsters that look like walking plants turn into a shadow version of the shape you're in when you start fighting them. If you're in cat form, they'll be cats, if in bear form, bears, etc. They keep that shape the whole time you're fighting them; one time I started out in elf form and changed to cat during the fight, and the nightmare stayed in elf form.

Comment by 478719

druids, listen up, i kinda abuse this quest as an allmost hs, just grab the quest, and never abandon it.

heres how to use it
1) cast teleport: moonglade
2) go speak to remolous
3) tell him to make another portal for you
4) bam, your back in icecrown! =)

but i kinda wanna finish the quest, because its so awesome D=

Comment by 939942

One of my favorite quests in the wow universe, it gives me goosebumps if not tears every time.

Comment by Allakhazam

The portal he casts opens to his right (or your left if you are facing him). It is a light green portal so it is easy to miss.

Comment by Allakhazam

...if for some reason the Keeper does not open the portal, if you abandon the quest and accept it again, he'll open it.

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone else see the typo? Please = pleased. I can't believe I just caught Blizzard in a mistake O.o

Comment by Allakhazam

The additional notes apply to if you are on a mount that has it's on hp as well.

Comment by Allakhazam

I never could get the portal to appear. I abandoned and reaccepted the quest probably five times, made sure I wasn't mounted and didn't move...no joy. So I just hearthed to Dalaran. *shrug*
