I found the ambushers hard to find in particular. Finally I found some around (30, 57). This is the in north west of the Charred Vale. There is a hill to stand on, with a good overview point. There aren't plenty so you will have to wait for resets. Another useful remark may be that Harpys and Ambushers are mainly found in the north end of the valley while Slayers and Roguefeathers are found more to the south. Stick to the edges so your back is safe. This quest is good to combine with the following other quests: Pridewings of Stonetalon, Retrieval for Mauren, Enraged Spirits, Wounded Ancients.

Alliance players, Horde player frequent this area and like to pick you off as you fight the Bloodfuries.

Comment by redandgray

Watch out for the 26 Elite Harpy near the middle. She's light blue and surrounded by her own circle of guards.

I found it very hard to find rouguefeathers, however I found if I killed slayers Rouguefeathers would spawn in their place

Comment by 102453

Bloodfury slayers AND Bloodfury Roguefeather are located @
27,67

It's not too bad to get to, run the West mountainside until you reach the Coodinates.

The Mobs are 23-26 (occaisional 27-28)
Plentiful mines,

Truesilver , Mithril deposits, everywhere. - little hard to get to but if you're a miner, it pays off in gains.

Did this quest with a lvl 27 rouge. It is pretty easy seeing as how the highest lvl creature I found were not even harpies. Only reason it took me awhile was the different types of Harpies were hard to find.

Comment by 227947

Did this as a Lvl 28 hunter.
The Charred Vale is such a populated area, it wasn't uncommon to be fighting 2 or more mobs. Had the most trouble finding Ambushers. Found some on both the west and east sides. Harpies are everywhere, don't have to worry about those, and I found the Roguefeathers on the east side. Slayers I found a bit to the south. Be careful for the Stormwitches. They are a BIG pain in the butt.

There are a lot of Hordie players in the area, but none higher than Lvl 27 to my experience. Note that it is worth it to help them if they are overwhelmed with mobs; I had a Blood Elf Paladin as a "pet", you can say, that helped me until I was finished. XD

Good Luck & Happy Hunting! ^^

Easily soloable with NE Druid 23. Just hard time finding the Ambushers. I found most of mine at northwestern. Good luck, and... Don't say "Watch out for the Hordes!", 'cuz we (Allies) also try to "Pick 'em off", since it's a factionXfaction game. Don't wanna PvP? Go play Ragn@rok or another stupid game! ^^

Lol i did it as a lvl 22-23 paladin... died a couple times but it was worthy...

Comment by 500456

I would strongly recommend doing this in a group. The adds stack up like crazy if you don't kill them fast enough. I found myself dealing with 3 mobs on multiple occasions.
Kill any thing that could potentially be an add, you'll thank yourself later.

Comment by Thottbot

where is the location

Comment by Thottbot

Found this very easy as a 27 druid. Just pull one at a time and you should be fine.

Quest begins and ends at 36,8

Most of the mobs can me found around 32,68

Comment by Thottbot

Just like the horde guy said about alliance ganking him, it goes both ways. This quest just is not worth it if you're going solo. It's not that the harpies are tough or anything, but the area is just packed with parties willing to gank anything that moves. I guess what can you expect for 20-something people stepping into contested for the first time though :)

Comment by Thottbot

Is this quest the same as https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=6282/harpies-threaten?

Comment by Thottbot

ya, its the same quest but i think the other one is for horde

Comment by Thottbot

I've been all over the vale, and I haven't found any bloodfury roguefeathers. I've killed all I need of all the rest, but the roguefeathers are nowhere to be found. Where are these guys at? Since "rogue" is right there in the name, I figure they are stealthed somehow, at least sometime. But I've been up and down the Charred Vale now, and haven't seen any sign of one. Give me some clue here.

Comment by Thottbot

i found a few roguefeathers and slayers around 34,69.

it seems that rogue in this case means sparse and not hidden

Comment by Thottbot

I found a camp of slayers at 36,69.

Comment by Thottbot

I have now done this with three characters and I'm done. The best thing that could be said for it is that it is marginally challenging at this level. What it is mostly is very annoying. If you are a cloth armor wearer, forget it. It's not that all the trash mobs are so tough or even that there are so many of them; it's just that almost everything you kill drops...nothing.

Except for the Harpies, the Roguefeathers and their sisters. They drop cloth, some silver and...not much else. Oh, some of the fire elementals and basilisks drop coal. Shouldn't forget that. Very valuable these days. Don't forget the old grey basilisk scale. Worth at least 3 copper apiece.

Mages - you will be thrilled to know that Mana Shield doesn't work against Storm Witches, who throw some kind of lightning at you, and yes of course, some of those are phantom adds, so plan on dying at least twice.

I guess there are some redeeming virtues here and in three tries I haven't found any, so I am just too stupid for words. Coming back the third time was really stupid.

But you can avoid making the mistake I made. Give this one a pass.

Comment by Thottbot

haha it takes a lot of time but i killed like 30 horde in the thime :D

Comment by Thottbot

I don't really think any grind is a waste. The idea behind it isn't just to get loot or be entertaining. Most times you grind to get XP. period. It may be tedious, but, it levels you up. That's why it's a grind.

Comment by Thottbot

died about 15 times on this quest from all the annoying aggro because when your low on health and you need to run, you just run right into another bloody harpy. those slayers are always right in the middle of the pack so they were the hardest to get.

Comment by Thottbot

Did as a party. Was an easy one but i guess it isn't able solo, too many mobs moving around there and the hordies as well. The roguefeather are located in the south.

Comment by Thottbot

hard to do solo as a 24 priest mobs spawn as heath is low after attact. Bring group if you can or be at least lev 27

Comment by Thottbot

location is 32,68 as everyone stated above. walk down the path towards Milkfallon Lake and veer towards the right and you will see a path heading west. this path will lead to the charred vale.

harpies will be easy to find since you will see them individually one the path toward the charred vale. ambushers will be next. you will see slayers towards the southwest. roguefeathers, for me, were the hardest to find because they are surrounded by storm witches which brings down a lightening storm. 1 on 1 they are not a problem but like everyone says they are close together and may aggro others. I'm a 26 night elf druid. I stealth to find the roguefeathers but you can do it if you run around the rim of the basin. If you have any pull weapons/cast use that to lure them to a safe location. Again easy monsters but just tedious.

Comment by Thottbot

It really sucks when you die in this quest. Takes forever to get back. So be careful :)

Comment by Thottbot

I don't know what you guys are talking about, calling this quest hard. Level 26 shaman, it was really easy. The biggest problem I had was finding my last Slayer. =D

Comment by Thottbot

You can do (at least) 4 q's at once there (Alliance). 3 you get in Stonetalon Mountains and 1 in stormwind (basilisks). If you don't like/aren't build for pvp, I'd suggest you do them all at once: time-efficiënt and you don't have to go there anymore. Doing the q's with a disc priest solo with horde groups running around, a great mob density and the GY miles away isn't exactly a piece of cake :P If you like PVP, this place is heaven for horde and alliance. If you don't want risking a long walk from the GY, bring some friends along.

Comment by Thottbot

Everything is Easy to find in the charred vale but the Ambushers are hard to find

Comment by Thottbot

This quest is easy.
Solo'd as a 25 Holy Priest,
but i have 5 points on Spirit Tap.
Wand and Shield is all you need. ST will do the rest
Didnt have to drink once, and i only pulled
more than 1 once, where they ran into me,
no biggie shield and run....

The Harpys and Ambushers are on the East/West
sides on the northern upper half.
The Roguefeathers and Slayers are on the East/West sides in the Southern lower half.

Dont let the other posters scare you,
good xp, darn rep and cloth! :)

Comment by Thottbot

This is not a quest that you cannot solo. There are too many bloodfeathers in one area to not agro two or three at a time, on top of whatever else (flame elementals, stone elementals, and chimeras) may attack you.

Comment by Thottbot

you can run through the horde town if you are dead. THIS IF VERY DIFFICULT QUEST. your gonna have to do a lot of extra killing to clear the way to the quest kills. its a pain in the ass.

Comment by Thottbot

Yes, this quest takes you all over, but it isn't all that bad.
When I set off I was at the beginning of a level, I had about 1/4 of my first bar.

By the time I came back to stormwind I was one bar from 50% through the level.
After I handed in the quest, that 2100 gave me another bar, which put me 1/2 way into the level.
That's not bad.

I happen to have a wand that is a tad better than the one in the quest, but doing this quest does get you into that area and another flight path- but most of all it is a quick half of a level.
I was surprised I had progressed that much.

Comment by Thottbot

just helped sum random level 26 druid with this quest kicked the crap out of everything with my 57 warrior :P sorry this comment probly isent much help to any1 but there realy easy to find theres like 2 difrent locations and plenty to kill

Comment by Thottbot

This quest was pretty easy except for all of the Horde doing the same quest and they were paying more attention to me than the quest so I died about twenty times.

Comment by Thottbot

One thing to remember with this kind of quest. when you have to kill one type of mob and not the other, you should still kill the others. otherwise the ones you are killing will respawn as what you don't want. I had trouble finding roguefeathers and slayers, but after killing off the storm witches they spawned back as the other types. hope that helps someone.

Comment by Thottbot

hey im a lvl 24 NE rogue.... i comepleted this quest at this lvl... just took some time for pulling.... so its possible at 24+

Comment by Thottbot

just did this at lvl 22 just watch for basalix hard to find all of the furries but doable

Comment by Allakhazam

When doing this quest on your own, be aware of Horde parties on the "Harpies Threaten" quest.

Comment by Allakhazam

Found this very easy as a 27 druid. Just pull one at a time and you should be fine.

Quest begins and ends at 36,8

Most of the mobs can me found around 32,68

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest was proven difficult for me at a lvl 25 Hunter. I started at 23 and ended at 25. I died a couple times. haha.

Basicly, like many other posters said, don't go in the middle if you don't want a quick death. Basilisks are everywhere and at higher numbers. As well as that, there are elementals.

I personally found that all the kills you need are scattered. Took me forever to find Slayers.

Good Luck to anyone struggling with this.

Comment by Allakhazam

These are harpy-types found in the Charred Vale. They tend to be found in clusters. They range up to level 27, and aren't too hard to pull singly -- just wait till one wanders out a bit and pull it.

Harpies, Ambushers and Roguefeathers were all pretty numerous. Slayers were tougher to find, and required a little patience waiting for respawns.

All of these mob types are melee. There are a couple other mobe types (Storm Witch, Windcaller) which are casters, are numerous, and which don't help with your quest kills at all.

Comment by Allakhazam

The Bloodfury Harpies are mainly in the entrance canyon to Charred Vale (approx 37,43 to 37,53) These are mostly level 23

Ambushers are scarce - I found them along the east side of Charred Vale as well as the northwest corner (approx 35,60 to 35,70 and around 31,63) though I suspect this varies from spawn to spawn. Mostly level 24-25 I think...

Slayers and Roguefeathers seemed to be mainly along the south edge of Charred Vale (approx 28,72 to 34,72) Mostly level 26-27...

I basically went around in a big perimeter circle of Charred Vale and was able to eventually get them all...

I would do this quest with Enraged Spirits (fire elementals), Retrieval for Mauren (basilisks),and Wounded Ancients (corroded shrapnel)

I am a level 29 Dwarf Paladin - not too much trouble solo but only 2 at a time at most...

Comment by Allakhazam

They really overdid it with all the f!@#$%g mobs in this place, its a god damn joke.

Comment by Allakhazam

Slayers/Roguefeathers found a little east of the center of the Charred Vale.

Harpies/Ambushers found in the north and south of the area.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just make sure you don't wander too far S or into the middle of them. Too far S will put some 27-28 Basilisks at your back while you're fighting and wandering into the middle is a quick way to die.

Comment by Allakhazam

Quest was gray when I did it, tightly packed groups made it quick. Got 270 XP and Darnassus Rep +275 at Lvl 45.

Comment by Allakhazam

It's incredibly hard to guess where the members of a harpie pack will wander to, so many times I thought I had pulled one to a safe distance and ended up with a Storm Witch attacking from beside or behind.

There is also a mithril deposit at 34,66 and another at 25, 70 in a valley guarded by numerous Storm Witches, Slayers and Rougefeathers. Along with a couple of random tin and copper spots and various kingsblood and briarthorn throughout the vale.

Comment by Allakhazam

I'm level 25 and kill the 7 ambusher's and 7 harpy's a level or two ago, but haven't been able to locate the slayers or roguefeather's yet.
Can't get south enough in the vale yet for some reason, not sure if it's the mobs ganking me or the horde being pricks, lol.

Comment by Allakhazam

Just solo it with Warlock 26

They should rename this quest WOW Marathon, you just keep running back an forth. At least they gave us some Griffons get out of there!

Also, I agree with Kierun's note below. Keep to the edge of the vale, the middle is absolutely deadly with everything that is walking around. Also be careful, there is a Level 28 Elite Harpy in there.

Comment by Allakhazam

Why does the quest list Harpy, Ambusher, Slayer, and Roguefeather, but the 'related mobs' above say Harpy, Ambusher, Slayer, and "Ripper"?

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest is a big pain.

The Harpies group together and are quite easy to pull together, plus beasts and elementals wander around this whole area that is very tight and very small.

Watch your back with this one, it is easy to pull other mobs while killing harpies.

NOTE: If you die, take the shortcut through the Horde town to come back into the area, much easier then going all the way up and back down.

Will grant +63 with Gnomer too.

Comment by Allakhazam

I found it much tougher to find the Roguefeathers than any of the other mobs. But other than that, yes, the locations everyone states below for the mobs are correct

I solo'd this at level 23... one of the things that I found useful were the mounds of rock in the center of the area... I would climb on top of the mounds, and then draw the mobs to me one at a time... by standing on top of the mounds, I seemed to be able to register better hits, and didn't have to worry about the basalisks that roam the area.

The Slayers are in short supply, and congregate near the East end of the area - they fly in the midst of the Roguefeathers, and are the same color as the harpies.

It did take a while to nail down all of the slayers, but it paid off... I received 2200 for the quest.

Comment by Oldbury

Fairly simple quest, particularly when combined with the other quests involving the charred vale. Harpies and Ambushers spawn in the northern side of the vale, and the Roguefeathers and Slayers to the south side. If you're struggling for spawns it's because other players are ignoring the non-quest harpies but they share spawns so kill ones you don't need too - Windfuries share a spawn with the Ambushers and Harpies, and Storm Witches share a spawn with Roguefeathers and Slayers.

Comment by Wimbleton

You really want to be sure you don't die in here. The GY is in Auckland and remember that Classic has the underpowered wisps or dead versions of players, so they're slow and can't climb as much as a footstool. At least the long trek back gives you time to ponder a few rules:
1) Don't loot any chests; they're filled with vendor trash and trigger a posse of ex-wives who will send you to the GY faster than an SR-71.
2) This is a pulling quest but harder than the ones you've done before because some mobs are linked and you will often end up pulling terrible things you wouldn't even want to think about, who will then rapidly kill you if they don't take the time to stun you first and then kill you, all the while doing their best imitation of Madonna with the dry heaves.
3) If you can't find members of whichever group you're finally stuck finishing with, kill everything in their area. It will make you feel better for all the crap they've given you and the respawns will be what you need.
4) Attempting to do this quest on a PvP server voids any life insurance policies you may have bought; you'll see it in the fine print next to "flying suits."

Comment by metroboomkin

Another stressful quest in HC if done at the appropriate level. The key is to take it slow and keep your head on a swivel.

Reclaiming the Charred Vale

Keeper Albagorm on Stonetalon Peak wants you to slay 7 Bloodfury Harpies, 7 Bloodfury Ambushers, 7 Bloodfury Slayers and 7 Bloodfury Roguefeathers.

	Bloodfury Harpy slain (7)
	Bloodfury Ambusher slain (7)
	Bloodfury Slayer slain (7)
	Bloodfury Roguefeather slain (7)

Description

As a protector of the forest spirits you can undoubtedly guess why I am alarmed.

You have traveled through these mountains to reach this peak. Surely you have seen the travesty which has befallen the land. Greed has led to the destruction of these sacred hills.

The Charred Vale to the south was set afire by the greedy mechanized army of industrialists. Worse yet, the Bloodfuries that have encroached on the land refuse us passage in to begin regrowth.

Drive the wretched harpies out, <name>!
