To complete this quest, go to Ashwood Lake in the Grizzly Hills. It's east of Ashwood Post and south of Camp Oneqwah. Use the lip balm and /kiss a Lake Frog along the lake's north shore. You'll need to reapply the Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm after each kiss. Eventually, one of the frogs will turn into the Maiden of Ashwood Lake. Talk to her to obtain the sword and complete the quest.

This quest, along with The Edge Of Winter, and A Worthy Weapon, is one of three weapon-fetching dailies available to Argent Tournament Aspirants and Valiants. Each faction has its own version, though they're identical aside from the specific quest NPC. This particular quest is for Orgrimmar Valiants. The other versions are:

Aspirants:

Horde Valiants:

Alliance Valiants:

The rep reward from this (and other valiant quests) is actually 62 rep with all horde factions other than the one you take the quest with, 250 for the horde faction the quest is from and 250 for the Sunreavers.

For example: If you complete this quest as a valiant of Thunderbluff, you'll receive:

250 rep with Thunderbluff
250 rep with Sunreavers
and
62 rep with Undercity, Silvermoon, Darkspear Trolls, and Orgrimmar

Note that while I did not receive any in-game notification of the rest of the reputation gains, checking my rep bars before and afterwards it is clear that you do actually receive them. Completing all 4 dailies will award you 1000 rep with each of Sunreavers and Thunderbluff and 250 rep with all other horde factions.

Couple easy macros for this.

select the lake frog (since the /target ones sometimes select the same frog)
/use Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm
/kiss %t

or if your lucky enough for it not to select the same target

/target Lake Frog
/Use Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm
/kiss

I hope it helps

I somehow managed to get this quest twice in the same day. Completed, and turned it in once. After flying back to the lake I didn't have any lip balm to use, but I had 2 of them the first time I did the quest. So if you find yourself with 2 of this same quest, complete it once, drop the 2nd one and pick it up again to make sure you have another lip balm.

Hopefully saves someone a long flight to Grizzly Hills and back =\

If another player spawns the Maiden, you are able to talk to her and complete the quest.

Comment by Kinbuzz

To make something clear. I was able to kiss frogs with the warts debuff on me. I was also able to make the maiden appear as well. Dunno if this is a bug, you can try it yourself if you happen to get warts anyways.

Comment by Namand

This is the most perverse quest the blizz folks have ever produced. It can be very frustrating if you arrive just after someone has had the maiden appear. I've had the maiden appear on the 2nd frog but have "kissed" 50 + frogs w/ no success as well. The macro above lessens the pain, but this is one awful quest. To add to the fun it's very easy for a player to gank you from the rocks above; what fun this quest is.

I've got something for the blizz guys to kiss

Comment by ihateblizzdev

One of the most ANNOYING time consumers. Like 70 frogs... C'mon, that just is wrong.

Comment by sTyLnK

Helps if someone else is doing it as well in the area, that way if she pops up, you can just click her and finish the quest. =]

Comment by Exigaet

Here's a macro I use to make this daily a lot faster.

#showtooltip
/use Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm
/kiss
/targetlasttarget
/kiss

Target 2 different frogs that are close together, and hit the macro.

Comment by Malithas

So after a long absence I came back and started doing these quests again. I had a macro for this one still but I forgot to pick up the wart-b-gone or what ever (never deleted the quest) and when I put the macro down on my action bar it had a number on it which I found weird. When I clicked it to kiss a frog I received 10 crystalized earth and the number started decreasing. I'm sure it probably hasn't, but has anyone else experienced this?

How to get Ashwood brand on the first try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8YtTMWYqxE

Comment by jsargent6427

In case you don't get it, like myself. Use item, select frog, then /kiss.

Comment by cUnAzeroth

After doing this quest multiple times on several different toons here is what I have found.

1 - Look to see if the Lady is already there.
(anyone can loot a sword from her...she carries extras)
2 - Use a macro.
3 - Start your search at the north end of the pond.
(most of the time she appears after 1, 2 or 3 kisses of the northern frogs) Good Luck.

As a side note you should purchase an Argent Crusader's Tabard as soon as you are able. This has the special use: Teleports the caster to the Argent Tournament Grounds. (30 Min Cooldown). Makes the flight only a one-way trip to the pond with a quick teleport back to turn in your quests.

Location:
Here is the location of the frog: https://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=394:615486

The ID of the frog you want to /kiss is 33224. The other frogs have an ID of 33211.

At the very north west part of the pond, there is a group of 5 frogs. There are two at south end of this small group that stay close to one another. One of those is the correct one.

There is a comment suggesting that the correct frog doesn't move which is not true now, although it may have been at one point.

Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm

/kiss does not always work on the first try. From what I have experienced/heard it can take up to 3. You also have to use Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm between each attempt.

This may be useless but it may be worth noting that you most likely HAVE to use Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm for the frog to transform. I found this out by forgetting it using the time to test it about 10 times without any results. It may be possible to get it without using this but it seems unlikely and not worth the effort.

Ashwood Lake have two kind of frogs which all looks the same:

* Lake Frog - ID 33211. This is a usual frog, don't spend time kissing them.

* Lake Frog - ID 33224. This is the Maiden.

A Blade Fit For A Champion

Retrieve the Ashwood Brand and bring it to Mokra the Skullcrusher at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

	Ashwood Brand (1)

Provided item:

	Warts-B-Gone Lip Balm (1)

Description

I've heard that the Alliance champions are seeking after ancient blades for their warriors. We can't afford to let them have that kind of advantage.

There's an old legend from Grizzly Hills about a maiden cursed with a frog's form to protect the blade she has long guarded. She lives among the lake frogs on the shore of Ashwood Lake, just east of Ashwood Post. The only thing said to break the curse is a kiss, freely given. Apply this balm before kissing anything, <name>. Otherwise, you'll catch warts.
