You can't mount the horses if you are already mounted. Doing so makes the horse disappear. So dismount first.

Comment by kinerfox

Just an fyi, this quest is ridiculously easy. Like this should be the first quest done in all starting zones, it's that easy. This being said... do it. Almost 5k xp, for maybe 1 minute of your time.

Leave mill, go to horse (which you passed on the way in) mount up, go past the mill, find groups of spiders, press 1, find spiders, press 1. I think I was getting 3 or 4 each time.

Lots of spiders in groups around 46,36

You can turn in the quest while mounted on the Mustang, but you'll have to right-click Nathaniel several times to get the quest dialog box to open.

Comment by Shadock

This mustang is pretty handy for traveling long distances, since you will most likely be in level 37-38 at this point of the questline and have 60% mounts. I believe this mustang has 100% speed, plus you can ride this indoors and you wont get dismounted, while you can also talk to people.

In Soviet Hearthglen, YOU scare spiders!

Quest is broken right now. Can mount the horse, but the whinny is unavailable. Putting in a ticket now

Possibly the easiest quest I've done in this game and I've done around 3500 of 'em.

Comment by Trolled

Mount horse.
Run south.
Smash 1, Smash Tab, Repeat 25 times.
Turn in quest.

Beautiful.

Comment by MiltiadesBooga

Did anyone else find themselves laughing evilly as they did this and making needless BLAAAGHRGHGAHGRHLE sounds at the spiders?

Just me then?

No problem. Arachnophobe's revenge! >:D

Comment by Vicorous

Hi guys, firstly sorry for my bad english, but i have discovered something important about this quest and i would like to share it.
When you mount up the one of horses, you can gather herbs without been dismounted! And western plagueland is one of the best place for herb gathering.
The speed of horse is probably 200, maybe even 220 because it's felt really fast for my apprentice riding.
But the health of the horse is really low, it's 333 so you have to be careful about mobs. Horse, regenerate healt out of combat but regenerate speed is low.
I havent tried it for mining but i think it will work for this too.
Have fun, you have built your stable at lvl 35.

Learning the Ropes

Mount a Hearthglen Mustang at Northridge Lumber Mill, then use its Whinny ability to frighten 25 Northridge Spiders.

	Northridge Spiders frightened (25)

Description

Ah, it's good to be back in Northridge! I've got my mill, my beautiful wife, a bouncing baby boy... I've even put in my hat with the Argent Crusade. We'll be supplying Tirion's forces with lumber.

My lumberjacks were being exceptionally productive, too... up until the point when the spiders came. Now they refuse to go any deeper in the woods.

Maybe you can help me out. Hop on one of my horses and use it to frighten those spiders. Maybe we can avoid bloodshed and just scare them away.
