It's just to the west of the Undercity, along the road. There's a giant statue thing made of hay. Run up to the statue, then run away.

Where do you get the quest?

Comment by Doranos

When you go there watch out as there are 3 elite abomination guards that can and will one shot a lower level character. You also will have horde hanging out around the area. Use and talents you have to rush through the area as fast as possible. Those guards also make trips to the Scarlet Monastery a pain.

Coords for statue thingy is 56,69

Comment by 87812

The description above says you only get 90 silver, but when I did this quest today, I got 4 gold and 40 silver.
I'm not sure if it had something to do with my level (55), but I'm just letting you know this quest is worth it, since it will only take a few minutes to complete.

Comment by armandhammer

I got 4g 40s and almost 13,000 xp at lvl 34. I'd like to see a few more quests like that one.

Comment by 94519

12650 xp and 4 g 4 silver at level 35.
I rushed to get as close as I could before dying and then rez'd right between the statues legs. Completed quest before getting it again from the guards.

If you skirt around the Wickerman area, and go around the corner of the Lordaeron ruins, you can easily climb up onto the plateau the ruins are built on. You can then edge back to a point immediately overlooking the wickerman area, from where you can jump down directly to complete the quest - preferably jump down when someone else has agg'd the abominations that guard it :-)

(it's still worth stripping your gear off if you expect to get killed - saves on repair costs)

What level do you need to be in order to get this quest?

Comment by 94466

I tired to do this quest as a level 16 mage on a PVP server, and would not get it. After some research online, looks like it is it is open to 26 and above. Has anyone under 26 been able to do this?

Comment by laughingnome

My lvl 25 druid did this, but was killed by the elite guard. I saw him come at me, but I had to get a bit closer to complete the quest, so I actually ran a bit towards him knowing I would die. I was just a little over my half way point to lvl 26, so upon turning this in I was pleasantly surprised to see me level! 12650 XP is awesome, and I only did it thinking of the 4G!

Comment by 82348

I threw on my "Gnomish Cloaking Device" and just ran past the Statue. It completed the quest and made me safe :D.

1 point to Engineering.
0 points to the Horde

Comment by Aisenfaire

Minimum level to get the quest is 25.

Comment by Aisenfaire

Easiest route, especially if you're too low for the Plaguelands, is to go north to Alterac Mountains (from Southshore), then west to Dalaran, and further west into the huge lake/ small sea with islands dotting it.

The mobs in Dalaran are level 31 or so, and the mobs in this lake are level 18 or thereabouts, which should give you no trouble. They're murlocs and treants staying on the islands, mostly; keeping to the water should not bring any mobs to bother you.

Once in the lake, head north and you will reach Undercity very quickly. Of course, don't go directly up/ into the city. Just follow the path towards Undercity, and you will see a gigantic burning scarecrow statue thing (56, 69) with 2 giant elite abominations on either side of it.

Here are maps that I've dotted to show the path to take:
Hillsbrad Foothills
Alterac/ Dalaran
Tirisfal --> The last dot on top of Undercity in this map shows the location of the statue.

You will not be able to stealth successfully past them if you are 40 or lower. Your best bet is to zip up to the statue and die on top of it, so that you will at least have completed the quest.

My level 41 druid tried to stealth up to it though, by creeping along the wall, and was nearly at the statue when one of the abominations noticed. I basically ran right on top of the statue and managed to get the quest completed as I died.

This quest gave my druid (at 41) 12650 exp.

Comment by 61487

Is there a comparable quest for horde?

Comment by Ansawa

Easily done at level 55. I mounted up, ran all the way up through Silverpine Forest, then just stayed on the road until I could see the statue in the distance. Veered off the road to the right, toward the plateau the ruins are on, passed behind a tree, and moseyed my way on up behind the Wickerman where the guards obviously couldn't see me. Sidled down to stand right behind the effigy, got the quest notification, then took right back off down the road--the guards aggroed on me but never even caught up to hit me once.

Very, very easy way to net 12650 XP, and I daresay anyone over level 40 and mounted could do it that way with no fuss at all. Good luck to everyone doing it at 25; you're braver than I. ;)

Edit: Also, there's no reason for people heading to the Wickerman NOT to go through Silverpine (on the road). The majority of mobs on/near the road up near the top of Hillshore are Alliance-friendly (Dalaran mages), and past that there's nothing over 15-16 near the road. There's ONE Horde NPC, level 13, actually walking on the road itself, but even if you're only level 25, you can easily avoid tangling with him. (Or kill him; he's not even PvP so if you shy from getting yourself flagged, like I do, there's not even that stopping you.)

just completed this quest using the tip above about moving along the plateau. if you want to avoid getting killed when you return to your corpse, repeat the exercise and resurrect in safety up on the plateau. i'm lvl 43 warrior and got 4g40s and 12650 exp. well worth while.

Comment by 155123

as of 18th october 2008 at lvl 58 this gives

9000 xp and 90silver

so i guess the amounts of both xp and cash dropped since the patch

Comment by volbia

i was only given 2000 exp and 30s wtf did they do to the quest

Comment by Eliva2009

They fixed the quest-- it no longer does the huge amount of exp it used to last year. Darn shame

Comment by 201014

Just did this quest 5 min's ago with my 52 human warrior. Received 7350 exp, 75 silver, and 15 treats.

Comment by 231911

Did this quest with my lvl 39 warrior and got 4150 xp and 15 treats. So I think 12K plus xp is a bit over the hill

Comment by 68138

To all of you whining about how you didn't get the amount of XP shown above, the amount of experience you get now scales with your level. The amount shown above is no longer correct if you're not 70 and playing WotLK.

Comment by elitebmo

is there a specific server time this occurs at?

Comment by 165659

So, was on auto run trying to find this place and and alt tabbed out to check wowhead and i ran straight into the elite guards. When i came back to res a ret pally was soloing one of the statue guards. After he killed him, some ash dropped on the floor. If you use it, it gives you +10% experience and rep for 2 hours.

Comment by 234920

lvl 33, got only 2900 XP today :/

Comment by 236029

Where do u pick up the quest?

Comment by 470509

Please note, that if you have started but not completed the long quest line with http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13377 The Battle for the Undercity, you will be in a parallel undercity and NOT be able to see or find the WIckerman festival!

Comment by dentity1024

just wanted to say wowhead's a bit wrong about how much money you get at 80. you get 13 g, 23s

Comment by 287195

I just want to clarify: The statue IS NOT inside Undercity. My mistake, I did not read the comments well enough, and went inside. My poor priesty went "Hahaha!" /dead. Good luck everyone. (I ran BEHIND the statue towards the wall and didn't aggro the guards. Then again, I'm 80, so I don't know if that affected it much.)

Comment by AnrDaemon

Confirmed.
/way Tirisfal 56.4 69.1
Guards are level 60 abominations, considering they are staring at road, they hardly notice anyone over their level running behind their backs. Just run through by the fallen log, avoiding being stuck in branches, and you're done.

Comment by 78799

If you are having trouble seeing the Wickerman statue it is probably because you've started the "Battle for Undercity" quest line and you are now phased out. You'll notice a message "The Battle of Undercity" on the top of your screen and you'll be unable to see NPCs/other players. Even if you've abandoned the quest you'll still be phased out, to resolve this you must complete the entire quest line (blue post).

Here are the quests that will cause you to phase out
1. Reborn From The Ashes
2. Fate, Up Against Your Will
3. A Royal Coup
4. The Killing Time
5. The Battle For The Undercity

Comment by 418693

Cord are 55,70. Rode by fast and no damage taken at lvl 80.

Comment by 474410

If you are in the midst of thee questline http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13377 you will phase out before you can see the statue. However if you stand where he is supposed to be and hearth out you will get quest completion upon materializing at the inn. Worked for me :D

Comment by stenova

Do the abominations aggro each other, I mean that if one is aggroed, do the others help him out?

And for the gold reward, my lvl 60 gets 90s for this, the same amount as for fighting fires.

Comment by 224426

the wickerman has moved, where r new cords?

Comment by DMFDxGamer

It has been confirmed, if you get to the area where the flaming scarecrow is supposed to be and he isnt there, stand where he should be and then use your hearth. You will complete the quest that way. Now you just gotta go back to Southshore. Maybe set your hearth there before riding out to Undercity.

Comment by batmvd

In my case I could see the statue from afar but when I was like 30-40 yards from it, it disappeared, every single time I tried.
I can confirm that using the heartstone in the place where the statue should be works.

Comment by 578195

Confirmed! Patch 4.0.1 56, 70 cords worked for my rogue. I saw the burning man from a distance but when i got to 56, 70 it was gone. I just hearth and it completed the quest. Thanks Fiologist that saved me a lot of time.

Comment by JLChafardet

the HS trick DOES work, I stood where i saw the statue (that disapeared as soon as i got into trisfal map) waited a few, and hearthstoned, completed quest.

Comment by Effectrix

The Wickerman might not be there due to you being phased out. The reason for the phasing is the 'Battle for the Undercity' questline. To resolve this issue, you need to finish:

1. Reborn From The Ashes
2. Fate, Up Against Your Will
3. A Royal Coup
4. The Killing Time
5. The Battle For The Undercity

Crashing the Wickerman Festival

This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed.

Locate the Forsaken's Wickerman Festival in Tirisfal Glades. Return to Sergeant Hartman in Southshore once you've done so.

	Scout out the Forsaken's Wickerman Festival. (1)

Description

I need brave individuals to head up to Tirisfal Glades and check out the Wickerman Festival. I'm not going to lie - heading up there will be dangerous. The guards at the festival will be exceptionally vicious. Still, we need to know how big the festival is this year, and how much trouble the Forsaken are going to cause us during Hallow's End.

If you're up for it, head to Tirisfal and scout out the festival. Return to me with the information, and I'll make sure you're well compensated.
