Clipping Their Wings

WotLK Classic Northrend Leveling Guide

Quest 3 of 3 in the Heb'Valok Chain (Finale)

Both Factions • Zul'Drak • Level 75 • Heb'Valok

Collect 7 Unblemished Bat Wings from Zul'Drak Bats near Heb'Valok.

Captain Arnath at Heb'Valok [35, 52] sends you after Zul'Drak Bats in the fields around [36, 52] for Unblemished Bat Wings. The bats are non-aggressive, so pick your targets freely. Drop rate is moderate, expect more than 7 kills. Complete alongside Stocking the Shelves in the same area to finish both at once.

Vikstone's Classic Expedition

Vikstone chased non-aggressive bats across an open field, trying to keep their wings intact. He stopped wondering how this connected to saving the world.

“Ever since Finklestein’s arrival, I’ve been relegated to collecting various ingredients for his experiments and recipes. I’ll follow my orders as I’ve vowed to do, but I’m a seasoned veteran. I’ve taken part in dozens of conflicts. I’d much rather be on the front lines, having a more direct impact on the Crusade’s outcome here.

Help me, Night Elf. Collect some bat wings for me so that I might get back to the real action sooner.”

Vikstone's War Journal

“I’m a seasoned veteran,” Arnath said. “I’ve taken part in dozens of conflicts. I’d much rather be on the front lines.” He handed me a collection satchel. “Unblemished bat wings. For Finklestein.”

Vikstone Portrait Act 2 — Illustrated by Christian DiBari and Simon Gough.

The bats near Heb’Valok didn’t even attack first. Harvesting intact wings from panicking, flapping creatures was not the kind of warfare they write songs about.

The ingredient runs were done. Whatever came next, Vikstone hoped it involved less ichor and fewer panicking animals in The Blessing of Zim’Rhuk
