Some new quests, the same old zone for the most part. Mobs have been moved around. There is a quest to pick up a Bloodscalp Lore Tablet, can't recall the name. When doing this quest make sure you have your Lashtail Hatchling out (From a previous quest) He will run to a skull pile and start another quest for you right next to the Bloodscalp Lore Tablet. (Quest: Favored Skull)

Added: A Nose for This Sort of Thing - Your Lashtail Raptor Hatchling will run around the ruins to pick them up, can help to mark him so you don't lose him.

Added: Mai'zoth for The Mind's Eye quest can have a fairly long spawn timer, there was nobody in STV when I was questing and he took a few minutes to spawn.

This is not possible to get as a bloodsail admiral. Just tried today, got 48/50. (at least thats what I can tell, if im wrong please tell me so)

Comment by Seprest

If you are not able to complete Steamwheedle Cartel quests, then you will not be able to complete this achievement unless you turn in quests in the zone that were received ELSEWHERE. This includes any quests that send you to help the rebels (alliance), I personally got one from an NPC in Darkshire, Duskwood.

I am stuck at 49/50 still though =(

I found that doing the start quest Disfigured Mosh'Ogg Hand opened up quests in Bambala

Comment by Sarienas

For Horde: There's a quest in Ashenvale Well, Come to the jungle that starts of Cromula in Silverwind Refuge, delivered to Grom in Orgrimmar - this counts towards this achievement.

Comment by 316590

I also earned this with the turning from the Ashenvale quest, but doing the raptor chain into ZG will put you at 52 or 53 quests total, so it isn't essential.

Rebels Without a Clue cannot be done if you have already completed maximum questing at the rebel camp. Or at least I cannot recieve the quest from either NPC's at Ashenvale or Raven Hill. I am still stuck at 48/50, if I am wrong somehow someone please let me know...

Comment by Bubsy

when you get the item Disfigured Mosh'Ogg Hand from the mosh'ogg withdoctors or brutes located around misjah ruins that you turn in at grom gol
when you return to bambala skeezy whillzap will give you a few more quests
funny that i was stuck on 47/50 quests and the item i needed for the extra quests was located at coord 47,50

Comment by 718183

I suggest everyone who want Loremaster Eastern Kingdoms and are Honered with the Bloodsail Buccaneers need to destroy their reputation with Bloodsail Buccaneers and do EVERY single quest available with the goblins (this also includes the quests in the Blasted Lands because of Gadgetzan).

Afterwards you can destroy your Steamwheedle Cartel once again and ravage Booty Bay. You can now kill the guards until you are exalted with the Bloodsail Buccaneers as of The Shattering. Now you can continue or start out as you were before all this mess, but exalted with an extra faction. This is my overal plan and I will post when my venture is completed.

I was stuck on 49/50 on horde.

But still had Above my Pay Grade.

You get this from Skeezy Whillzap in Bambala.

I did not need to have quests from Kalimdor in order to complete this zone.

Comment by alterecho

Im stuck at 35/50 for this zone been to every alliance camp and still cant figure out where Im stuck. Any ideas?

Comment by 742679

I'm having a small problem and I'd appreciate some help. I'm stuck @ 39/50 (not hated with any faction yet) and I just can't finish this area. I know the gnome from rebel camp has a 3 quest chain he won't give me witch later sends me to the draenei shaman who has another 3-4 quests. This wouldn't finish the zone but I just don't get why the freaking gnome doesn't give me the quests. Finished everything else I can find, are there hidden quests ?

Comment by 765493

I was stuck on 39/50, the Lashtail hatchling helped me get back on track with the "Favored Skull" Quest Favored Skull hope it helps!

Comment by 233270

(Alliance) I'm suck at 49/50, although there is one quest I can do, I'm hoping to find others because I am have one heck of a time completing it (Be Raptor). I have done every quest that I'm aware of (I'm not hostile with goblins at all, in fact never increased Bloodsail rep at all). I've done all the rebel camp quests, kurzen, etc... on the last raptor hatchling quest, all nessingwary quests, goblin quests... please tell me there is another quest I can do aside from Be Raptor so I can get this done? If not, can someone post better hints on the quest's page so I can complete it? lol

Comment by 795983

When you first receive your lashtail hatchling always keep him out as he will unearth a quest line from skulls in a troll area. You will then be able to complete northern stranglethorn for the loremaster. I was stuck on 42/50 and recieved another 13 quests.

Comment by 797010

I'm stuck on 48 out of 50 and have done all of the lashtail hatchling quests and such. I know I haven't done the "above my paygrade" chain though. Anyone know how to get this quest?

Comment by 385150

i went waaaaaaaaay over 50 quests by 3-5 quests :P trick is, you gotta keep your lashtail hatchling out and start doing favored skull so yea same as the guy above "wargasmo" who was stuck at 39 (Same as me) and did the hatchling chain which lead to more than enough to get the achieve :) there arent much "Hidden" quests other than this one which is hard to figure out when your not using a guide. the favored skull quest starts at Bal'lal ruins where you could see a small pile of skeletons (Link: https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=26323#comments ), there where the hatchling grabs a skeleton and starts a quest :> good luck :D

Comment by 804399

I didn't know about the raptor thing and have already completed that quest. Is there anything I can do now to trigger that line of quests? I've tried revisiting those skull mounts with the raptor out, but it doesn't work now.

Comment by 621744

This quest, Be Raptor, was a lot of fun, I took a bunch of screen shots haha 'cuz I love my little raptor. It's really easy to complete, and I'll tell you how, but I'll let you know.. once you finish the quest line, you don't get to keep the hatchling, Ohgan'aka ..

Anyways, you have to be attentive. Talk to all the raptors that have a talk bubble, because those are the people you need to "talk to" ... First step, don't run down the stairs, jump down the side... be watchful of guards! Don't get caught. Get to the first raptor at the doorway into the second part. They will teach you how to "chew" a net, but it's absolutely useless and just postpones your recapture. Always be on the look out for guards! Don't get close to them, because they will start you back at the last raptor that you talked to. It gets aggrivating sometimes, lol, while screenshotting I got captured a bunch of times.

When you're coming down the hill torching the first braziers, watch out.. Troll Patrol will come out from the left .. just be weary, and keep your camera looking around at different angles to see where they're coming from. Just get up to the little shack with the pile of skulls, you'll need one of them for the next step.

Pick up the skull and you'll have 26 seconds with it. You need to drop it right in the Patrol Troll's path to make him trip and fall into the water. Zip across the bridge using the 1 key. He will respawn. You'll have to trip up a couple more trolls, burn a few more braziers... when you get across the bridge, there will be a path.

When you're on the path, there is a Troll Patrol and also a Troll female running back and forth through the path. Use the bushes to your left, and you'll need to get across to the next shack to put out the last brazier. There is another Troll Patrol that is going to come up from behind the shack/fire/brazier .. just be weary of them.

And that's pretty much it. Just run your little hatchling butt up the stairs and see what happens from there :)

Comment by LoreMooster

If this is the last quest you pickup you won't get an achievement alert. I have a mod that takes screenshots when I earn achievs, and it never went off. I checked and the achievement had registered as 50/50 after talking to the orc in Org.

Comment by 554807

If you are doing this achievement on lv85, you should know that once you started the "Zandalari Quest Chain", most of the quests disappear. Since I haven't yet completed the chain I'm not sure if they come back after you do that.

The quests for that chain may take place in this area, but do NOT count toward this achievement.

Comment by shado

I had this same problem. I had done the complete questline that gives you the black panther companion pet and wanted to get the new Lashtail Hatchling as well as do the quests in Northern Stranglethorn for the achievement. All the quests givers were gone/phased out. I wrote a ticket but also decided to do a few quests in Duskwood to see if I could get a quest leading to Northern Stranglethorn. After doing a few quests (the ones where Jitters is) I got the quest leading to Northern Stranglethorn, and the quest givers are back. I'm assuming that this is what solved the problem, and not the ticket I put in, since it had only been about 1/2 hour.

Comment by Shiva20

if your missing 1 quest like i did, try this dropquest
took me 3 kills to get.

Comment by 490136

If you just completed the level 85 questline and there are no questgivers, simply fly up to Duskwood for a minute and then fly back. It worked for me as Im guessing the phasing doesnt reset until you change zones.

Comment by rodj1969

So has anyone worked out what the problem is. I too am stuck at 39 of 50 quests. I can't find any more, have spoken to all and sundry in Northern Stranglethorn, please, please help.

Comment by VoixxioV

I had this issue after completing the Zandalari quest line. It took about 22 hours for the area to reset after log off/on. I doubt there is a set limit, but it may just be a glitch and take time to reset.

Comment by 884671

I was stuck on 45/50 for a long time, i even searched for quests by flying there. Couldnt find any then i suddenly took my mouse over a quest in Zul'Gurub and i realised that it was ''See Raptor'' quest. I thought it was one of the quests in Zul'Gurub

-If u see u have quests in Zul'Gurub, check the name before u do loads of research

Comment by Airbear

I was stuck at 39/50 and from the comments above I figured out the Lashtail Raptor was the key to completing Northern Stranglethorn Quests. I went to Bal'lal, summoned the Lashtail Raptor using the Lashtail Raptor Egg Fragment found in my inventory. The Lashtail Raptor ran over to a pile of skulls and picked up a skull starting Favored Skull

Comment by jjanchan

One tip for those quest hunters out there - as of the writing of this post, one of the biggest add-on assets to have is Quest History Felstone. It logs all the quests in the game as a sortable list, and will query the server to check which quests you have or have not completed. If you are stuck in a zone and are unable to find any more quests, simply bring up the add-on and select "New Quests", and sort by category (zone) - this will tell you which of those last lingering quests you have been unable to track down. It even provides quest IDs so that you can look up on those quests on Wowhead.

This add-on has gotten me out of a bind many a time when I have been stuck on a zone quest achievement, so I thought I'd pass that on to all of you. I am aware that the well known add-on QuestHelper has an incomplete quest feature as well, but I find that Quest History is a lot lighter on system resources than QuestHelper!

Happy questing!

Comment by 956204

I was stuck at 35 of 50 for a year, with no quest givers findable. I tried all solutions in the posts. It took three tickets before the GMs listened, but I finally got the problem solved. The GM had to reset my ability to interact with Corporal Sethman (rebel camp), so I could turn in "Bad Medicine" even though I had already done it.
Moral of the story: There are phasing issues on these quests since Cata, and sometimes nothing short of real communication with a GM will solve the problem. (I suspect my problem was caused because I already had a supply of Jungle Remedy when Cata changed it to a straight quest item)

Comment by Avalionis

many people said you don't have to do Be Raptor to get this achievement...I'm currently 49/50, and i've done every last quest in Northern Stranglethorn I can think of. yet this is the only one left to do, and it's giving me alot of grief.

my only hope, is a quest that'll take me to Stranglethorn that'll count towards this achievment...otherwise, I just gotta hope that MoP will bind the achiemvents to my other toons, cause one's already got this one.

Comment by jroberts127
