Scalps!

Quest Giver: Scalper Ahunae — Zim’Torga, Zul’Drak [59.2, 56.3]

Objective: Use Ahunae’s Knife to scalp 10 Heb’Drakkar trolls.

Quick Facts

• Level: 77
• Location: Heb’Drakkar, northeast of Zim’Torga, around [63, 52]
• Chain Position: 3 of 3 (The Leaders at Jin’Alai → Sealing the Rifts → Scalps!)
• Pairs With: Bringing Down Heb’Jin (same area)

Walkthrough

• Head northeast from Zim’Torga to Heb’Drakkar around [63, 52]. The area is crawling with Heb’Drakkar Strikers and Heb’Drakkar Headhunters.
• Kill a troll, loot the corpse first (normal loot), then use Ahunae’s Knife from your inventory on the corpse to scalp it. The quest text explicitly reminds you to loot before scalping.
• Repeat for 10 trolls.

Efficiency Tips

• Pair with Bringing Down Heb’Jin. That quest takes place in the same area and involves killing the Heb’Drakkar leader. Do both in one trip.
• Bat riders dismount. Some trolls patrol on bats. When attacked, the rider dismounts and the bat despawns, so you only fight the troll.
• “Rabies” debuff is secretly helpful. Some trolls apply a “Rabies” disease that deals minor damage over time but also increases your crit chance and crit damage bonus by 30%. Don’t rush to cleanse it.
• Nearby elementals count. Trolls killed by roaming ice elementals in the area can still be scalped, as long as you can interact with the corpse. Let them soften mobs up for you.
• Don’t forget the knife step. Simply killing trolls does not give credit. You must use the knife on each looted corpse. This is the most common mistake.
