If you're quick, you can reclick the barrel before it breaks, and it will count again, completing the quest faster. Just a small tip to save time

Mercy for the Dwarves

This quest is ridiculous, you end up having to kill every dwarf in the town more than once. Took me forever to slowly down all of them as a blood dk. And there aren't even that many barrels, I blew the same one three times. I don't know, I just think with phasing, once you clear a town it should be cleared. GEEZUS

the most annoying part of this quest is that:

A: you cant smash the barrels if you are in combat for some stupid reason (OJO: not if you're being attacked, just being in combat makes it imposible to smash them untill you are out of combat entirely)

B: Smashing even 1 barrel automatically puts you in the aggro list of EVERY SINGLE DWARF IN 50 YARDS, meaning..... yep, you guessed it, places you in combat. IN fact, 1 dwarf WILL go directly to attack you, and after you kill him/her, the others will still have you on their aggrolist, so you wont be able to smash more untill those are dead too.

This makes it very annoying, because after killing all dwarfs in the area, you got at most 15 secs to loot at the food, medals, and smash all the barrels before they return. Plus once you are in combat, you cant smash the other barrels, but other players can, forcing you to find others to smash, and the last insulting touch is that the alliance players can just drink from the barrels without aggroing a single,orc. So while u're there serving as a piñata for all the dwarves in the aera, a single alliance player can swoop in, smash all the barrels, get a nice damage buff, and fly out.

Unfairness is unfair.

Those foolish dragonmaw...
They have no idea what the dwarves will do when they find their beer asploded.

anyone else get reminded of Blizzard's older game, The Lost Vikings, when they do this quest in Thundermar Ruins?

Comment by Takata

what I found most effective, just ignite the barrels then run! Since its nearly impossible to fight off wave, after wave of dwarves. They don't seem to care about the food storage, but as soon as you blow up the barrels they will almost always attack. I've had one or two cases where they didn't attack me.

Description

Some of the Wildhammer still cling to the hope of reclaiming the Thundermar Ruins to the north, across the river. Burn them out! Smash open kegs of Thundermar ale. That wicked brew is potent enough to explode when set aflame.

Don't ask me why.

And don't ask me how they drink the stuff.
