Daily Quest Guide: Frenzyheart Tribe

If you’ve been playing Wrath for awhile I’d imagine you’re familiar with the two warring factions in the Sholazar Basin, the Oracles and the Frenzyheart Tribe, so I’ll spare you the setup to getting these dailies. The short version is that this is the Wrath version of the Burning Crusade’s Scyers versus the Aldor struggle; but in the jungle and not on some weird planet in deep space.

Most people, at first glance, quickly and correctly join the Oracles and do their dailies and ignore the Frenzyheart Tribe entirely. Well, in the interest of players like myself that are trying to complete the Honorary Frenzyheart, Frenzyheart Tribe and Mercenary of Sholazar achievements I thought I’d put together this daily quest guide.

The Frenzyheart Tribe quests are broken down in the same way as the Oracles dailies: 500 Reputation and 700 Reputation. Two of the dailies will be for 500 Reputation and the last, which you turn in at Shaman Jakjek in Kartak’s Hold, will be for 700 Reputation.

The 500 Reputation Quests

These quests are quick and simple. One of these quests will randomly rotate each day and the other, Chicken Party, is the same each day. The only reason for you not to complete them is laziness. The quests that involve killing a mob don’t require you to kill many things and, if you get lucky with a fast drop, you can complete them in a matter of minutes.

Chicken Party!
This quest is offered every day. The area surrounding the quest giver is quite literally overrun by runaway chickens. It’s just a matter of having the eye-hand coordination necessary to click on them before they get away from you. It can be really, really frustrating for people who don’t have the dexterity or the patience to complete but with practice and patience it gets better each day.

Rejek: First Blood
The Sapphire Hive Wasp and Hardknuckle Charger required to die for this quest are within walking distance of the quest giver. The Mistwhisper mobs can be found across the Basin near the Glimmering Pillar. Just make sure that after you kill each mob you use the quest item on them. It’s a pain to think you’ve finished the quest, travel back across the Basin for the turn in, and realize you forgot to use the item on one of the dead mobs.

The Heartblood’s Strength
This quest requires a flying mount. After you’ve killed the Goretalon Matriarch and collected her blood you need to fly to the Suntouched Pillar and use the quest item. By combining those two items you will have completed the quest. When you take the composite of those two items back to the quest giver you’re all done. This is your typical “travel around and collect stuff” quest that the makers of WoW love so much.

Strength of the Tempest
The mobs you have to kill can be found on the far western edge of Sholazar Basin in the area behind the Maker’s Perch. The drop rate on these can be a bit frustrating at times and there are other quests in this zone that overlap in the area so competition can be high depending on the time of day you try to complete the quest. When you’ve acquired three of each item you need, the shrine is a few steps away. You’ll recognize it from all the lightning bolts hitting the ground around it. If you stand next to the shrine for a few months you’ll complete the quest.

A Hero’s Headgear
This one takes place in the exact same location as the Strength of the Tempest quest I described above. All you have to do is find a Stormwatcher, take him out and blow up the corpse. Once you loot the blown up corpse you’ll get the item you need to complete the quest. This is my favorite of all the Frenzyheart Tribe quests because it’s the quickest, easiest and least likely to drive me bored to tears.

The 700 Reputation Quests

All three of these quests have similar goals. In each, you visit the area surrounding the Mosslight Pillar and kill members of the Oracles. If you’re well-geared you can rip through these quests pretty quickly so the only real slowdown is the fact that you have to travel away from the Frenzyheart Tribe’s small village in order to complete them.

Tools of War
This quest involves collecting three traps in Kartak’s Hold, which you can find across the way from the Mosslight Pillar, and then traveling across the jungle a bit to the Oracles camp. There you’ll find tons and tons of the Gorlocs that you need to kill. If you have decent gear you can ignore the traps and just kill the Gorlocs on your own. The time it takes to fiddle around with the traps tends to make this quest take much longer than it should.

Kartak’s Rampage
This is another straight-forward type of quest. You have to kill Gorlocs until one drops the Oracle Blood. Then you travel back to the Altar in Kartak’s Hold (near Shaman Jakjek) and get your weird monkey mount. Then it’s just a matter of using the monkey’s skills and attacks to kill all the Oracles you need to complete the quest. I find this one just as annoying as the similar quest for the Oracles. Once again, you might be better off just taking these guys out on your own in the interest of time.

Secret Strength of the Frenzyheart
The last of the 700 Reputation quests is just like the previous two. To start this one off, you have to visit the Nesingwary Basecamp and find Grimbooze Thunderbrew. He gives you some ale that you then take down to Kartak’s Hold. Once you reach Kartak’s Hold you use the berries you were given (not the ale from Grimbooze) to combine the two quest items together you are then ready to go… kill more Gorlocs!

The Rewards

The #1 reward for hitting Exalted with the Frenzyheart Tribe is the self-satisfaction of a job well done. The items you can get from the Oracles at Exalted are much higher in quality (and this is why the majority of players go with the Oracles over the Frenzyheart). There is one cool item that the Frenzyheart can give you, the Frenzyheart Brew, that turns you into a Wolvar for five minutes. That’s pretty cool.

Conclusion

Other than that, there isn’t much incentive to bother with these dailies unless you’re interested in Achievement points. By going for the Frenzyheart Tribe Reputation you’re going to throw away any and all Reputation you’ve built up with the Oracles to that point. So buyer beware if you want to undertake this path.

For Chicken Party, I have “V” up. Then all you have to do is right click on the yellow bars as the chickens run by. This means the quest will take anyone about 30seconds tops :)

For Chicken Party as well, using the net given to you is basically easy mode. You snare them and pick them up, however I do like Shinshiva’s suggestion on pulling up the “V” bars. I’ll give that a go tomorrow.

Great write up! I plan on getting the achievements from hitting Exalted then switching gears to go Oracles in hopes of a Proto-Drake, no matter how low the drop rate is.

Hehe… it can indeed take some time.

About the chicken daily: my main is a druid, so I just collected the chicken (press V as Shinshiva mentioned) while flying through Frenzyheart Hill. But on my mage I noticed, that unlike the pup-collecting daily in Dragonblight, you can catch chicken while mounted! So it’s just skimming across the ground for other classes, too ;)

Huh? Click on the chickens? Heh, nah just click the net and it comes up with a little green circle, the same as a Mage’s Blizzard but a bit smaller. This captures all the chickens in this circle, netting you (no pun intended) about 5 or 6 chickens in one go.
