Found in Bloodfen Burrow at 31,66.. watch out for the raptors

Comment by 190

Just as the first part of the chain, this quest resulted in 2900 experience at level 49.

The scroll is inside the cave at 31,66. Just head in and it's up on a stone on your left.

Even stealth classes are likely to need to fight so unless you are a decent bit higher you might want to fight your way in as the raptors are quite tightly packed and adds are very likely.

Comment by Insaint

This part of the questline is also giving out 3600 exp now at lv 48.

Comment by Kyiro

3600 exp at level 44.

1450 xp at lvl 51 - ya I forgot to do it :D

Comment by Thottbot

The location is 31,66. A scroll on a rock inside the raptor cave.

Comment by Thottbot

It's in the SW corner of Dustwallow Marsh, go inside the cave (it's really really small) and it's sitting on a rock inside, it's hard to miss

Comment by Thottbot

The cave is also able to se on the map... (not mini map ofc) The cave is guarded by several raptors so be prepared!

Just follow the road to the south and when the road turns east, you turn west. (Southwest for being exactly)

Btw when u shall take the scroll it dont needs to be opened. Just right click and then complete quest. ;)

Comment by Thottbot

coords are correct

Comment by Thottbot

This was very easy as a lvl 41 Warrior. I killed all the lvl 40-41 raptors to make a path to the cave. The above cordinates took me right to it. The scroll is just inside on the left. Got heavy leather, 500xp(rested) for each kill, Raptor flesh for my cook and 3600xp for the scroll. A very productive start for the day.

Once you find the cave, just slide along the west side, kill the raptors (only did 5) and retrieve the scroll.
Easy. Did solo as 45 lvl Warrior

Comment by Thottbot

This is part of a chain. If you want help with the first step in the chain, don't ask in the second step, go to the first step and look. I don't think that there is one question that isn't answered by doing that. No wonder why each quest page has so many entries. Like this entry. The one I'm typing write now. Utterly useless.

Comment by Thottbot

Be sure you go to the Bloodfen Burrow with raptors and not the Den of Flame with all the Firemane dragonkins. There is a box in the far back of the Den of Flame, which I thought was part of the quest and maybe it was bugged. Come to find out, I was just in the wrong cave!

31,66 for the correct cave!

Good luck.

Comment by Thottbot

it is in the cave named: Bloodfen Burrow in Dustwallow march... it is many raptors ther.. the scroll is on a small stone.. and u can not press on it if u dont have got the scroll in the STV boat and the scroll under the bridge in Swamp of sorrows.. Goold Luck

Comment by Thottbot

I did this as a level 41 Hunter.

The easiest way to get into the cave with killing the least number of raptors.

If you come up to the cave, you want to go in from the left side. When I say left, think of it as if you're standing directly in front of the cave, and you are looking straight at it, it will be your left side. If you come in from this direction, you can easily pull the raptors 1 by 1. The other directions have considerably more raptors.

There's only 3 raptors inside the cave, so pull the necessary outside raptors, and go in and get your scroll.

Easy Peezy! Not even close to dying baby.

Comment by Thottbot

I did this as a level 38 Warlock It's not as difficult as it seems, although the cave is a pain to get to.

Take out the raptors on one side, dont bother with them all, them just take out the three in the cave, you have to be quick though they have a very fast re-spawn rate.

The scroll is in the cave, to your left as you go in. Good exp for the quest, was a shame about the final reward =/

Comment by Thottbot

Soggy scroll is found under a covered bridge. Come through the deadwood pass entrance and take the first road branch to the left and there is the bridge.

Comment by Allakhazam

Standing ontop of the scroll inside the cave in Bloodfen Burrow, the coords are: 33,1 66,2.

Comment by Allakhazam

(31,65) CT coords...should be close for cosmos though.

Basically just run down the road til you pass the cut off to Barrens and then follow along the mountains in the south west.

Comment by Allakhazam

The scroll for THIS quest is indeed in a southwestern cave of the Dustwallow Marsh: the Bloodfen Burrow. The Bloodfen Burrow, then, is located west from the Dragonmurk.

In front of the cave there is a $%^&load of 40-41 raptors. Beware. The scroll's inside the cave with 2 of them.

Comment by Allakhazam

I can't click on it neither...........................

Comment by Allakhazam

When u are under bridge run your cursor over water slowly till u see the open wheel the water is too muddy to see thru. 2 east pillars

Comment by Allakhazam

Just wanted to gloat and say while killing Raptors to get to the cave, one of them dropped a Journeyman's Backpack (14-slot), which makes the quest entirely worth it, since I'm getting 2 14-slot packs for the price (if you can call this a price) of one.

Comment by Allakhazam

Well actually begins with a scroll that
randomly spawns on one of the three
pirate ships south of Booty Bay. The
one's with the captains on them.

It can be on any of the three boats. I
found it once by the gnome captain. Again
on the other ship in the bottom level. Third
time just near some barrels on the mid deck.

Comment by Allakhazam

The cave is found at 31,66.

Comment by Allakhazam

To get to Dustwallow Marsh, go on the LEFT boat at Menethil Harbor (wetlands)

You will arrive at Theramore, go out the gates, and you are in Dustwallow Marsh

from there, to get to the Scroll you need to complete the 2nd part of Cortello's Riddle, you can use this screen shot to guide you

can ui get the co-ords on this?

Comment by Allakhazam

The bridge in Swamp of Sorrows is at loc 22,48. you are looking for "A Soggy Scroll" in the water under the bridge.

In Dustwallow Marsh the scroll is in Bloodfen Burrow at 31,66

Comment by Allakhazam

I haven't found where to begin this quest any help?

Comment by Allakhazam

first one starts on a pirate ship south of booty bay, then it leads you to swamp of sorrows, entering from the west side, the clue is under the first wooden bridge, next it leads you to a cavern southwest in duskwallow marsh.

Comment by Allakhazam

I went to the cave and found the scroll but couldn't get a 'click cursor' to open it. Allakhazam's lists the next part as lvl 51, so maybe you have to be a higher level than 47 to open it.

Comment by Allakhazam

im lvl 42 right now so i killed all the raptors leading to the cave and in it and i see a scroll looking item on top of a rock in the cave but i cant use it, am i looking in the wrong place or is this quest bugged?

Comment by LadyJessa

For benefit of new classic players- the quest starts in booty bay, despite how it appears in wowhead. You need to explore the 3 ships moored off the bay, a scroll spawns in the bottom of one at random.

Comment by Runnyeye

For rogues doing Dustwallow cave, there is no need to kill the raptors if you have instant quest text on. Can simply <Distract> -> "Complete" -> "Accept"-> <Vanish>

3600 exp at 41. As a bonus a 39 gnome mage was outside for me to kill. All in all a very rewarding 30s.

Comment by virtueavatar

If you're a druid (for horde at least, not sure about alliance), the fastest way from the previous part of the quest to this part of the quest is to teleport to Moonglade and fly the 7 minute flight to Thunder Bluff, and go from there to Dustwallow.

Much faster and effortless compared to running back to Stonard > Booty Bay > ship to Ratchet > Dustwallow. At least if you have nothing else to do on the way.

Comment by Morojax

Why did I only get 2,000 XP when I completed this quest? I am level 51 when completed. I noticed the XP change on the map from 3,600 to 2,000 XP, and I have no idea why. It says here it is supposed to be 3,600 and I read online that the XP gained from quests does not change depending on your level.

Can anyone explain why I got 2000 xp instead of 3600 for this quest? It's driving me mad.

wow tbc classic
