This is part of a long chain quest designed to familiarize you with Zul'Gurub and the Zandalar Tribe. Much of the rewards are decent for their level. The Faded Hakkari Cloak is only slightly worse than everyone's favorite Hide of the Wild. Definitely a worthwhile chain for someone that doesn't want to shell out for the Hide.

Here's the full quest chain:

Vale Screechers (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/npc=5307).
Rogue Vale Screechers (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/npc=5308).

Best place is the path out the front of Dire Maul, bring a Hunter with Beast Tracking if you're not one yourself.

Found two at 52,47. You might end up aggroing some wolves though since they walk around next to the Vale Screechers

Comment by Kohen

Guys you have to wander a lot to find these tree. Take care of bears if you're level 42 or lower. There is a flying camp in thousand needles so you can come back very fast - or it will be better to use hearthstone. They are located somewhere between 52,47 and 60 - on the field. So have a nice time chasing them.

Comment by 27094

A minor note to add, using the Bramble on a corpse will give credit to all in your party that are nearby, so if you are grouped you will still only need to track down a total of three.

Found a whole bunch of them just north of the dock @ 46,39.

No ADDS

From Feathermoon Stronghold, i swam east to the Forgotten Coast, just on land , very near the shore at
I found four Rogue Vale Screechers (45), very easy to kill for any class. Once killed, before looting, used my clicky on them to summon their spirits, then looted, and off to the next, was done in under 5 minutes. Hopefully screenshot to follow.

Comment by Jel251

There are a few by the yeti cave.

Comment by Moongoddess

Okay, I just did this quest and as NightWatch said, there are loads of them at those coords :) Finished the quest in less than 2min...

Comment by 45422

If you have the quest to collect the yeti hides, you can just stand around 58,58 killing the yeti's close by and also just get the screecher that respawns there every few minutes.

Comment by Thottbot

Actually, the best spot for the spirits is by the Dock. The dock you catch for the ship that takes you to Feathermoon Stronghold. If you just run north from there and stay in between the mountains and the coast line, you will see some (Rogue Vale Screechers). You can kill these and grab their spirits with the bramble you have. The spawn rate for the screechers is allot beeter then Location 54,57. Only two Vale screechers spawn there and you have to wait a good while for your third to spawn. Good Luck!

Comment by Thottbot

to collect the spirit, just use the wand, right click the spirit that pops up. You get credit at that point.

Comment by Thottbot

I tried to do this quest at level 41 - obviously, I had no chance against these level 46 Screechers at the dock.

Fortunately, I found a single level 42 Screecher. It's located in the Feral Scar Valley (south of Dire Maul), where the Yetis are. It's not far away from the path... near a big tree... It's just one creature, but it spawns approx. every five minutes.

Comment by Thottbot

By the boat for feathermoon. coordinates for CT: (45, 45)

Many more here then the other locations recomended in this thread.

This is how those screechers look like. Kill those arround coord (46,47). After you killed those use the Yeh'kinya's Bramble on the body's of the screechers. Then a spirit rise. Talk the the spirit and you'll have found one of the three spirits.

Comment by Thottbot

ok not too hard of a quest.

The best spot for vale screecher's are around East from the docks. You are in right place if you see water elements and giants. Good luck.
Vale screechers are red snakes with wings.

1. Find a vale screecher.
2. kill it
3. click on it's body
4. use the bramble instrument
5. The spirit will rise from the body
6. right click to speak with vale screecher.
7. You will know you have caught one once it
displays "vale screecher sprit 1 out of 3".
8. repeat process until quest complete.

Comment by Thottbot

Go to Feralas first
Then go to cord 46,48
You can find Rogue Spirit Screecher there
Kill them, and then click on their death body, and use Yeh'kinya's Bramble
Talk to their spirit

That's all

Comment by Allakhazam

I found them at 46, 48

Comment by Allakhazam

If you follow what he says you encounter 3 Rogue Screecher Spirits between level 44 and 45. I killed them with my lvl 42 warlock and my voidwalker. Good Luck

Comment by Allakhazam

There is another quest series called "Venom Bottles" that you might want to pick up, as a few of the objectives coincide with areas for this "screecher/Mosharu" series of quests.

You can pick up Venom Bottles in the Hinterlands, in the first ruins on the right (near the mountains not in the center) if you're coming up the path from Hillsbrad Foothills. You must click/open the bottles which are strewn about in those ruins.

This might be a Horde only quest, as when you get the venom from the bottles, you need to see the apothecary in TM. Hopefully an Alliance peep can check and update here.

(according to the Shadra comments -- the ultimate goal of Venom Bottles -- she was a Lv 55 BIG spider (shiver- spiders) terrorizing Alliance ppl in the area :P .)

Comment by Allakhazam

i was level 48 and got 3750 xp for it

Comment by Allakhazam

I of course didnt have the FP to Feathermoon... hadnt even been in Feralas before. Easiest way to get to the flight path and to complete the quest is to just fly to Nijel's Point and go south and cut to the west so you can go south down the road by the Gelkis Centaur camp. Just follow the road and it'll take you to the pier which the boat that takes you to Feathermoon Stronghold every 5 mins or so.

The screechers are just north of the docks along the waterfront. 6 were right there in a row and was able to finish it for both my chars. Easy as pie.

Also, there's a little goblin by the docks who gives a couple quests. Dunno if they are good for my level yet but worth checking out.

Comment by Allakhazam

Unless you forgot a zero, that is clearly gray quest experiance.

Comment by Allakhazam

Well...

Go to 46 , 48 (Ferelas) and there you will see Rogue Vale Screechers kill one by one and after u kill and loot as MissusLewis :
"...target the body again and right click on the Bramble. When the spirit appears right click on it and then click goodbye. You will have your essence."

This is the tutorial that helped me a lot .. :)

Have Fun!

Comment by Allakhazam

{never mind - I found the bramble nicely tucked away in the bank, ach)

I can't get the Bramble from YehKinya - i've aborted the quest, the re-acquired it from yehkinya, but he doesn't give me a bramble to use on the screechers -

Comment by Allakhazam

The mobs can be found around 50,56. Near the Diremaul entrance. Just kill them and zap them with the bramble wand, then click them when their spirit shows up. Watch out for Sonic Burst (Silence). I did this with a 44 hunter, no problem. I also did this quest along with ''The Mark of Quality.

Boyfin is going around posting a lot of low xp rewards, methinks s/he is a level 60 who is just doing these quests now. When quests are grey you get roughly 10% of the reward.

Comment by Allakhazam

How can i obtain the essence of the screecher spirit? when i use Bramble on the screecher corpse, the spirit apears. But its the only effect of using the bramble. How can i obtain the quest items?

Comment by Allakhazam

The docks are definitely the best place for this quest - the screechers are in an area all by themselves, no wanderers. Also, as a bonus, there's a goblin there with two quests around the same level, to kill the elementals and giants (which are elite, but don't worry, you get to soften them up before you have to kill them) wandering along the shoreline. All three quest mobs are easily single pulled - giants are pushovers once shrunk, even when orange, the elementals were a bit iffier at orange because they hit pretty hard (and seem to resist a lot more), and the screechers were no problem at all.

Comment by Allakhazam

Reward for quest is 380 exp

you can find some of the vale screechers scatered throughout feralas but they wander, best place to find them not wandering is along the cost close to the mountains, you'll find them fast there.

Completeing this quest is a prereq for the quest: The Prophecy of Mosh'aru

Comment by Allakhazam

As mentioned below Rogue Vale Screechers work for this quest as well, you can find a great deal of Rogue Vale Screechers at 46,48

Comment by Allakhazam

Dont be a bumbass like me and look for the birds in Tarnaris...

Comment by Allakhazam

These Guys hang out in small groups near the T in the road that runs up to Dire Maul from the main road. It is a rather simple thing to get 3 of them. This is noted after the 10 patch. If U run out of mobs to kill go due south and they pop along a line for the next 300 or so "yards" in game.

Comment by Allakhazam

for thge first time this site is wrong....

the best place to find them is 46,48....

looked at all the other places and nothing.

Comment by Allakhazam

IF...you have the feathermoon flight path....go there, take the boat or swim back to the main land dock and hang a quick left. 45,40 starts a group of 3 in a row...took me 2 min and I was done.

I found some screechers near the dock on the Feralas mainland. Mages beware, they use sonic blast which is really annoying.

Comment by Allakhazam

Ok..I have noticed the other posts leave quite a bit of information out:

1. You get the quest in Steemwheedle Port. However the Screechers are in Feralas which is NOT in Tanaris. So putting in your coords right there will NOT help you, as I found out.

2. TO GET TO FERALAS: Go back thru the Shimmering Flats to Thousand Needles. Stay on the path and right before you get to the Great Lift you will see a sign directing you down another path to Ferals. Follow this to Feralas, which is a jungle area.

3. Once in Feralas you may put in the coords 56,51 which is where I first saw a Screecher. HOWEVER: there is a rather large Horder town that you MUST go around. This is easier if you have a map add-on that you can show unexplored areas because you can see your way around BACK to the road.

4. Keep following the road till you get to the intersection where the entrance to Dire Maul is.

5. WARNING: Screechers are indeed found here. Look like red flying serpents. BE WARNED: this is ape and bear country, also Yeti's. Also there are some ruins that have ogres in theme. If you go too far down into the valley you will run into untamed Hippographs as well.

6. The Screechers were in the valley, and I saw one on the cliff above the road. They are not really in groups and take their time about showing up.

7. Kill it, after looting, target the body again and right click on the Bramble. When the spirit appears right click on it and then click goodbye. You will have your essence.

Hope this helps someone out!

I completed this at level 47 (when it was green) and got 3750 XP, and no reputation adjustment.

Comment by Allakhazam

Went and picked up the quest, then flew to Feathermoon (already had it marked from getting lost in Booty Bay) If you don't have it marked, looks like the nice folks above have given you a way to get there :)
I was 41 NE druid at the time (hit 42 doing the quest..woohoo)
If you are alliance, feathermoon is much like Auberdine..it's alliance friendly..so no worries there. Don't wander too far if you've not been there, though. The Nagas are pretty fierce.
Hop the boat to the forgotten coast (it only goes there, so no worries about missing your stop) take the dock and *avoid* the coast if you can, You need to turn right to find the ones I killed, but on the coast are elementals and a couple of huge elite coastal giants.

Nutshell

1)Pick up quest in Stormwheedle
2)Find your way to Feathermoon
3)Take boat to coast
4)Hop off, trot down the dock, go right
5)Profit!

Pull them away from one another, of course. There were only 3 hanging out where I went and I screwed up a couple of times because I skinned them before clicking the bramble rod. D'OH
The spawn rate isn't unreasonable, though. Plus where I was..there wasn't any other animal interference.
They are lvl 43-46. Have healing pots or bandages ready if you are under that lvl (as I am) but they really aren't that hard to kill.

Hope this helps. If nothing else, I'm just repeating what everyone else said :D
My only problem was when I went to turn it in. A bored 53 troll rogue decided he wanted to attack me. Oddly enough, he did it in front of a 53 human warlock and a 50 dwarf hunter.
As much as I tried..couldn't summon his spirit with the bramble. Couldn't skin him, either.

Comment by Allakhazam

1.)fly to feathermoon

Comment by Dzerro

1) Kill screechers
2) Use quest item on the body
3) Speak with the spirit that spawns

Comment by Ranadicus

Can be completed as a group in Classic confirmed. You only have to kill 3 of them to complete the quest for everybody in the party.

Comment by PRTetu

You can use Yeh'kinya's Bramble and collect the spirit while mounted.

Comment by cheheze

Don't skin them until you've used Yeh'kinya's Bramble on them or you won't be able to. You'll have a chance once you've used the bramble.

Comment by rogermw

What does it say when you right-click on the screecher spirit? The dialog window disappears so quickly I can't read the message.

Comment by baxman

The text that flashes before you can read it when you capture the spirt says the following"
"This spirit hovers over its fallen body. Its ghostly eyes pierce through you as it gazes beyond..."

Comment by jemaris

You don't need to have killed them yourself to use the bramble on the corpses to get the quest done. When I got there, there were dead ones around, that I thought I'd go & skin them. I just happened to try the bramble before I skinned them & to my surprise, it worked & got my 3 very easily! :)

Comment by Provision

We have to use Yeh'kinya's Bramble on Vale Screecher or Rogue Vale Screecher.

I use this macro to find mobs more easily :

/cleartarget
/target Vale Screecher
/stopmacro
/run SetRaidTarget("target",7)

Links

Screecher Spirits

Capture the spirits of 3 screechers in Feralas, then return to Yeh'kinya in Steamwheedle Port.

	Screecher Spirits Collected (3)
	Yeh'kinya's Bramble (Provided) (1)

Description

I seek the spirits of the vale screechers of Feralas. They are the cousins of an old, old god, and their spirits are linked to him.

Take this bramble wand and go to Feralas. Find and defeat vale screechers in southern and central Feralas, then wave my bramble over their fallen bodies. This will coax their spirit to reveal itself. Touch the spirit and collect its essence.

Return to me with my bramble and with the collected essence, and I will tell you more of the old god of which I spoke.
