Quick Facts

• Chain Position: Part of the Oracles pre-reputation quest chain, after Back So Soon?
• Pairs With: Forced Hand (kill 8 Frenzyheart Spearbearers and 6 Frenzyheart Scavengers, same area)

Walkthrough

Travel to Spearborn Encampment

• From Mistwhisper Refuge, head north to the Frenzyheart wolvar camp at Spearborn Encampment [41, 22].
• If you’re also doing Forced Hand (you should be), start killing Frenzyheart Spearbearers and Frenzyheart Scavengers as you push through.

Find the Treasure and Trigger Warlord Tartek

• The Mistwhisper Treasure sits on elevated ground at the back of the camp [41.7, 19.4].
• Approaching or interacting with the treasure spawns Warlord Tartek, who arrives on a proto-drake. He’ll yell about killing you and reclaiming “his” treasure.
• Critical: Do NOT loot the treasure before killing Tartek. This may bug the quest, making the treasure unlootable. If this happens, relog to reset it.

Defeat Warlord Tartek

• Tartek is a level 77 non-elite wolvar. He fights alongside his proto-drake, but both are manageable for a solo player at level.
• He uses Heroic Strike, Sunder Armor, and Sweeping Strikes. Nothing dangerous, just burn him down.
• Kill Tartek first, then deal with the drake if it’s still alive. If you’re a pet class, have your pet tank the drake while you focus Tartek.
• Respawn is extremely fast (roughly 10 seconds per player reports), so don’t worry about missing the kill.

Loot the Treasure and Return

• After Tartek is dead, click the treasure to collect the Mistwhisper Treasure.
• Return to Mistcaller Soo-gan at Mistwhisper Refuge [42, 39] to turn in alongside Forced Hand.
• Both quests unlock Home Time!, which sends you back to Rainspeaker Canopy.

Efficiency Tips

• Always grab Forced Hand at the same time. Both quests complete in Spearborn Encampment, and you’ll finish the kill objectives while pushing toward Tartek.
• Make sure your gorloc companion (Jaloot) is summoned before the fight. Jaloot’s Intensity grants 10% movement speed while unmounted and 100% swim speed, so he speeds up travel either way.

Lore Context

The Frenzyheart wolvar raided Mistwhisper Refuge and smashed crystals at the gorlocs’ Great Mist Stone, causing a magical storm. Warlord Tartek then stole the treasure the Mistwhispers had recovered from “the sea-lake” (likely Bittertide Lake). This quest is your payback run.

The Mistwhisper tribe is one of several gorloc tribes that make up the Oracles. Their broken speech pattern (calling wolvar “puppy-men” and you a “big-tongue”) is characteristic of gorloc culture throughout Sholazar.
