Walkthrough

Reaching the Eldritch Heights

• The Eldritch Heights is a wooded cliff area in the far southeastern corner of Dragonblight, home to the Bloodpaw wolvar village.
• From Wintergarde Keep, head southeast. The area sits on a raised plateau above the coastline.
• Non-elite Bloodpaw wolvar patrol the village and surrounding area. Clear a path to Bloodpaw’s position at approximately [90.7, 72.9].

Fighting High Shaman Bloodpaw

• High Shaman Bloodpaw is a level 72 Elite wolvar shaman and the leader of the Bloodpaw tribe. He fights like a well-tooled enhancement/elemental hybrid and should not be underestimated.
• His abilities include:
  • Bloodlust: Increases an ally’s attack speed by 30% for 10 seconds. If other wolvar are nearby when he casts this, the fight escalates quickly.
  • Chain Lightning: Hits up to 3 targets with Nature damage. Spread out if fighting in a group to minimize splash.
  • Frost Shock: Inflicts Frost damage and slows movement for 8 seconds. Particularly annoying for melee trying to kite.
  • Lightning Bolt: Standard ranged Nature damage cast. Interruptible.
• He is surrounded by non-elite Bloodpaw wolvar. Pull him carefully to avoid fighting adds, especially since Bloodlust on additional mobs makes things ugly fast.

Efficiency Tips

• Group or Solo? Tagged as a 3-player group quest, but well-geared level 74+ characters with self-healing or strong cooldowns can solo him. Interrupt his Lightning Bolt casts and pull him away from other wolvar to avoid the Bloodlust snowball.
• Do Alongside: Grab all three Wanted poster quests before heading out. Kreug Oathbreaker is in the Carrion Fields (much closer to Wintergarde), and Onslaught Commander Iustus is at the Onslaught Base Camp to the northeast. You can chain all three in a single session, though they are in different directions.
• Casters and Ranged: Stay at range to avoid Frost Shock’s snare. His Lightning Bolt has a cast time and is your best interrupt target.
• The Eldritch Heights is off the beaten path for most Dragonblight quest chains, so you likely will not be heading here for anything else. Plan a dedicated trip.

Lore & Secrets

The Fate of Skrotee and Brote

• The quest text is posted by Drolfy, a gnome vendor found inside the Wintergarde Keep inn (on the stairs between the first and second floor). Drolfy fears his cousins Skrotee and Brote were captured or killed by the Bloodpaw during their escape from the Eldritch Heights.
• Surprisingly, both cousins survived. They can be found alive in Venomspite, the Forsaken base in western Dragonblight, where they have been imprisoned and forced to serve as a living cuckoo clock for the amusement of the Forsaken. Brote announces even hours, Skrotee announces odd hours. Their banter is some of the funniest ambient dialogue in the zone, with Brote ranting about being forced to wear “damned short-shorts” and blaming Skrotee for the idea that the Forsaken would “rain gold coins down on our heads.”
• The Horde’s Venomspite is not easily accessible to Alliance players, so most Alliance characters who complete this quest will never learn that Drolfy’s cousins are actually alive. A nice piece of cross-faction storytelling.

Wolvar in Northrend

• The wolvar are a wolverine-like humanoid race scattered across Northrend in several independent tribes. Each tribe has its own leadership and territory. Most wolvar shun arcane magic and instead focus on being warriors, hunters, or shamans, with their tribal leaders often being particularly powerful in shamanism.
• The Bloodpaw are one of the smaller, more aggressive tribes. Players will encounter other wolvar tribes later in their journey, including the Snowfall wolvar at Snowfall Glade (also in Dragonblight, in Moa’ki Harbor quest chains), and most notably the Frenzyheart Tribe in Sholazar Basin, who become a playable reputation faction.

WotLK Classic vs. Original WotLK

• In WotLK Classic, this quest awards Northrend Adventuring Supplies in addition to the weapon choice, which was not present in the original 2008 version.
