Replenishing the Storehouse

Objective: Kill Tallhorn Stags and collect 8 Succulent Venison.

Walkthrough

• Anderhol explains that a Horde raid has left the lodge’s food supply dangerously low. He needs you to hunt the local stags for venison.
• Tallhorn Stags (level 72-73) are abundant throughout the forests around Amberpine Lodge. The densest concentration is north/northeast of the lodge. You can also find them to the south around [31, 62] and [32, 65].
• The stags are passive and won’t aggro, so you can pick your targets freely. They die quickly to any class at quest level.

Do Alongside

• Them or Us! (also from Anderhol): Kill 6 Graymist Hunters (worgs). The worgs are concentrated west across the river from the lodge around [22, 57] and [25, 56]. You’ll pass through stag territory heading to the worg area, so grab venison along the way.
• Mmm… Amberseeds!/Just Passing Through: Also from Anderhol. Pick up the full set of Amberpine quests before heading out so you’re working toward multiple objectives on each trip.

Efficiency Tips

• Drop rate is inconsistent. Reports range from roughly 50% to as low as 1 in 5 kills, so your mileage will vary. Expect to kill 12-20 stags for 8 venison.
• If the area north of the lodge is crowded, work south instead. Stags spawn across a wide area and you’ll rarely have to compete for long.
• Completing this quest unlocks Take Their Rear! (kill Grizzly Bears for meat) and Troll Season! from Anderhol. These continue the food supply/survival set.

Lore Note

The Horde raided the Alliance storehouse, and the lodge needs to restock before the situation becomes a crisis. But Anderhol’s greeting (“G’day, class”) and casual hunting enthusiasm contrasts nicely with the urgency of the situation. He’s a woodsman doing what he does best, even when things are dire.
