In the area just Southwest of the round lake in the center of Crystal Song are the Skeletal Woodcutters.
- Kill Skeletal Woodcutters until you loot the Large Femur quest item.
- Find Maloric nearby, (he's neutral faction and standing on the ruins.)
- Walk behind Maloric and activate the "Use:" ability on the Large Femur.
- Loot him.

Lead's to: The Black Knight's Orders

Comment by keeds

Maloric is standing at (38.3,59.4) which can be seen on this map.
The Skeletal Woodcutters are all around the area where he is standing.

Comment by i2ichardt

Your pet will attack Maloric after u use the quest item, unless you have him on passive.

Comment by 263279

If you can't loot him, be sure to move in front of him. You won't see the loot icon unless you're facing him.

Comment by Lartoon

ya put pet on passive, hit him from behind with the bone, u dont have to kill him, just loot him and leave.

Comment by rodmin

An additional thing.

When you sap Maloric, you'll enter combat. You can loot him while he's stunned. But if you go away a few yards, you'll leave combat, so you can go away without killing the squire's, for everyone's sake.

Comment by hevgirl

He Drops No Loot.

don't bother killing him.

Comment by mentel

All this running to and fro, feels like old world questing :)

This doesn't require level 80, I'm currently doing it at 78.

Just a quick note so you don't waste the same time I did. If you're in a party the Skeletal Woodcutters won't drop the large femur. Spent 10 minutes killing them without a drop, left the instance party I'd been in and got the item very next drop. A lot of the other quests work like this, I'd forgotten that detail.

"It's all here, <name>: the poison that killed Lorien, a collection of knives, torches, and oil. No man has cause to possess these here..."

Clearly she has not adventured through the bags of the average player.

Comment by pnukup

The sap from the bone is not a sap. It's a stun.
He will be stunned the hole duration of the bones debuff and you can kill him easy after looting him while he has the stun from the bone on him

I think the name of the quest refers to the movie "There's Something about Mary".
as noone mentioned^^

Comment by 307861

hrm wtf ive killed 26 of the skeletal's and no drop what gives

Comment by 229016

i've been killing them for 20 min and i haven't gotten one. damn.

Comment by 327123

Pet attacked him, so had to kill. Now can't get a loot mouseover on the respawned Maloric. Not in combat until I try to click Maloric (sword mouseover), but can't loot him either. Any ideas?

Comment by aoeu

Mary is wayyyy hotter :)

Comment by Slorafossen

If you have a pet (warlocks, hunters, priests with shadowfiends), put them on PASSIVE. I just tried to loot him and then my pet smacked him as i was trying to loot him, so then I couldnt grab it and ended up having to kill him...

I don't think many priests walk around with their Shadowfiends. At least I don't.

Comment by Shubi

" You must be behind target " :)

Comment by 560755

You have to be behind Maloric for the femur to work. I'm pretty sure that it drops 100% I got it on first kill. The skeletons are below level 80 and can be killed with your eyes closed (I wouldn't suggest trying it lol). You don't have to worry about Maloric attacking you, he's yellow, all you have to do is walk behind a hit him. You can't take off flying while he's stunned because it registers as in combat. As a night elf I just used shadowmeld and took off. He's a level 78 non-elite, however, and probably just as easy as the skeletons to kill. The skeletons are the only NPCs that attack, don't even have to worry about fighting your way to him.

He is located just southeast of Dalaran, across the river, which will show up as a couple arch shaped buildings on your map if you've discovered the area.

He stands in place on the stone, doesn't move around, lazy orc NPC.

Comment by HaddonEast

This quest is an utter waist of time, I have killed 30 wood cutters and still got no drop,, and you get neither loot nore xp for the kills, what crappppp.

Comment by 560755

apparently blizz classifies behind as slight to the side of... "behind: for the femur is about the same as :behind" for the rogue's backstab lol

Comment by Higloss

Pets will auto attack when you hit him with Femur.

Comment by bushdoctor

Why oh why can i not collect this quest?

I have done all the pre-requisites, but Crusader Rhydalla does not give me this one. This is all after I have completed and .

I have also waited a day in between, any ideas?

>BUSH-->>

Comment by 945326

Maloric is neutral and is stunned long enough for you to loot him and leave. So there's no reason to have to even fight him unless you forget to put your pet on passive.

Then your pet will attack him, and you won't get out of combat until the stun wears off and you kill him.

Comment by 1398001

Step 1: kill the skeleton and loot the quest item.
Step 2: use the quest item to stun Maloric
Step 3: loot Maloric.
Step 4: kill him just because you can.
Step 5: wonder why you had to do step 1 and 2....

Comment by WoWGnGP

I made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Comment by Paulosio

Quest appears to be bugged with the arrival of the Legion pre patch. Maloric isn't lootable after you stun him with the Large Femur.

It's bugged for Fury Warriors. Simply change your class to Arms or Tank.

Comment by Joten

I took my Legion Artifact off and was able to loot him. (Affliction Warlock)

Comment by 1739380

You have to be out of combat to loot him, just run away until you get out of combat mount up fly back to him and loot. :)

Comment by schneizeru

There really is something about this squire. He is surrounded by Skeletal Woodcutters. These guys are near Maloric yet do not attack him, and we know that BK and by extension Maloric are affilated with the scourge. The nearby undead that seem to tolerate that particular living being are also likely to be of the scourge. I do not know of any other scourge presence in the forest so the scourge actually send these guys to specifically hang out with the squire. Now these guys are not idle, they are chopping wood. Where are they hauling this wood? The scourge has upgraded from wood to saronite since WC3 and use the dark blood exclusively in their structures. The sensible interpretation is that the woodcutters are giving this wood to Maloric so he may look like he actually chopped wood instead of waiting idly in one spot. Quest giver also mentions that the squires intention is to appear as if he is going for chopping wood.

Now why are on this quest? Because the quest giver is suspicious of the squire. Why is she suspicious again? Not because he is leaving for wood, but because he is returning with nothing more than a few twigs. Then what is happening to the wood chopped by multiple undead units? If he is not going to return that wood, why have the undead distracted with an unnecessary task which ironically leads to him getting sapped? Why not make the undead stand guard for intruders? It's not like it would be any more suspicious than being caught around undead cutting wood. Why are we not making any mention of the wood-cutting undead that are overly friendly with Maloric, whom we were sent after to investigate, to the quest giver? Have we ever went back and killed Maloric or is he now working at the garrison lumber mill? Are Skeletal Woodcutters still chopping wood? Is Crystalsong Forest Crystalsong Plains by now?

Comment by Harroway

Shadowlands +

*Do not kill Maloric (fast respawn if you do, tho).

- Kill the Skeletal Woodcutters to loot "Large Femur".
- Use it on Maloric from behind.
- Mouse cursor over Maloric, will see loot icon. Loot him.

BONUS: Kill him just because he's a smelly poophead.

PS: If you're here for Argent Pony Bridle like I am, this quest chain will not unlock the ability to buy it. You'll need to become a Champion after the 15 Aspirant's Seal and 25 Valiant's Seal quests. At that point, the quartermaster in the rectangular white tent will sell you Argent Pony Bridle for 150 Champion's Seal.

Comment by laurauk

I cannot complete this quest since Blizz introduced the UI feature where the cursor becomes the icon of the item you're meant to use, in the case, the femur. Once I've bonked Maloric over the head with the femur and stunned him, the cursor remains as the femur and I can't loot him. I've tried disabling all addons, so I think it's definitely a Blizz UI thing. I've tried abandoning and retaking the quest (involving a VERY long flight back to the AT and back to the quest location), tried relogging, tried running away a little and coming back while he's still stunned but nothing makes the cursor change back and no loot icon appears at Maloric. Poor guy is gonna have a massive headache by the time I actually figure out how to loot him!

Links

There's Something About the Squire

Obtain a Large Femur from a Skeletal Woodcutter and use it to incapacitate Maloric. Search Maloric for evidence, then report back to Crusader Rhydalla at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

	Large Femur (1)

Description

Every day, the Black Knight's squire, Maloric, makes a big show of heading to Crystalsong Forest with his axe over his shoulder. He wants us to believe he's chopping wood, but he never returns with more than a few twigs.

He usually goes toward the ruins southwest of the Mirror of Twilight. He spends a lot of time out there, even for a squire with responsibilities to his knight.

Find a way to distract or incapacitate him and search him. If he's up to something, we'll know it.
