The Ruins of Ban'aethal
Picking the Druid up at the turncoat quest with the beta about five days from ending, then working through every side quest I had left. A gnome with no memory wants acorns and freed spirits, the druid enclave at war with the cult wants moss, blood heirlooms, ears and twenty feathers, and a cave holds seven wounded druids. I reach level 14, sort out the beta legacy points and wish I had taken the rage talent sooner.
Episode eight picks the Druid up at a turncoat quest with the beta about five days from ending, and it turns into a tour of every side quest I had not done yet. A gnome with no memory sends me after acorns and trapped spirits, a druid enclave at war with the cult wants moss, blood heirlooms, ears and twenty feathers, and the last stretch is a cave where seven wounded druids need healing before I go after the commander on the hill. I reach level 14, work out what the beta legacy points and early talents do, and find out that I should have taken the rage talent first.
Picking Up at the Turncoat
Where the last episode stopped.
- The turncoat quest is where I left off, with about five quests left, maybe a few more. I was a little late recording and had not played for a few days.
- I am a Feral Druid, so I have to shift into bear form once I reach the house.
- Auto attack gave me trouble. The option was on and it still did not behave the way I expected, and right clicking the target did not start it.
- An assassin outside the house killed the turncoat. The body was clutching a shining crystal, and I looted it.
- The leather pants off the fight were a small upgrade, three agility.
- The crystal is meant for an NPC in a faraway town. I skipped the trip and went upstairs to finish the tasks on this side of the zone.
- I noticed a racial ability would not work in bear form, so I could not use it on the way.
The Strange Monk
A gnome with a bad memory and two errands.
- He is a masked gnome in the forest who has lost most of his memory. He remembers flying, lightning and a crash, and that he used to build very large things.
- He teaches engineering, and I learned it. Why not.
- The first errand is eight acorns. He will not go himself because the raptor birds in the forest are dangerous, and he promises to make me something delicious.
- The second is freeing the spirits at the old ruins in the northeast. They sing on some nights, and something terrible must have happened there. The count was ten as I heard it, and the reward is new leather boots.
- The tracker stuck on four for the spirit quest even after the game said they were freed, which is part of why I started doubting my add-ons.
- I handed both in at the end and took the boots. I had assumed the zone was done with quests, so these were a surprise.
Moss, Heirlooms and Ears
The cult quests, in the order I did them.
- The druid I meet expected an army. She is shaken that the call for help seems never to have arrived, and I am what showed up.
- Eight pieces of moss go into a wound dressing. It grows in the treetops and makes a sticky antiseptic, and there was plenty once I started looking.
- Ten blood heirlooms come off the cult's soldiers and storm hunters. They dropped steadily. She keeps them safe for the High Elder and says a lot of potential is now gone.
- Five occultist ears were the slow one. Every human has two, so I expected a few minutes, and the heirlooms kept dropping while the ears did not. The first one took a long time.
- The ear collector pays in coin and promises access to the den's secrets if I prove myself. The reward was gloves, and he sells blacksmithing recipes and a pet.
- He asks for more ears afterwards. I said that is a lot of ears.
Twenty Feathers
The quest that took the longest.
- The Shrieklings' feathers keep the moss dressing from drying out. They have turned aggressive lately and I need twenty.
- They drop rarely. I was at 11 of 20, then 13, and killed far more than twenty birds before I finished.
- The quest item does not show on the creatures. I looked for a marker on the drops and there is none, so I left that for the developers to sort out.
- A separate quest wanted Shrieking talons, which the captions render as talents. The quest text never says which creature drops them, and it turned out to be the Shrieklings.
- I took the last four against my better judgment, picking off birds on the walk towards the ruins until the rest dropped.
- The turn-in line is that every feather will be used so the sacrifice is not in vain.
The Cave and the Commander
Healing the wounded, then going up the hill.
- A circle druid disappeared a month ago, and the next quests are to kill the commander on the hill and to enter the cave and heal seven druids.
- The cave quest paid 500 reputation, which is not enough, and I need more.
- Inside, a group stands around a crystal and the druids lie wounded. I healed all seven by interacting with them, and I liked that they had names.
- The commander is at the top of the hill. He dropped a severed head and a blood stained note from a bracer, which holds the cultists' motives.
- The head and the note go back to the druids. She says the cultists' ignorance and hatred have cost many lives, and I reach level 14 on the turn-in.
- The note points to a traitor in Valinor. If the orders really came from there, someone is feeding the cult, and I have a letter to deliver to an NPC in that town. The captions give the name as Liam, Ulim or Lotham, so I have left it open.
Talent Points and Legacy Points
What the beta changed about leveling.
- The beta unlocked legacy points for everyone, and I was not sure how to spend them at first. There are legacy challenges and legacy trees.
- Talent points now start at level 5 instead of level 10, as I read it, and I counted five extra. It is really nice, and it was not there when I started playing.
- One legacy perk gives back 1% of maximum health within ten seconds of a kill. I put four points there.
- I wish I had taken the rage talent first. Shifting into bear form has a 20% chance of giving rage, and after a few minutes of thinking about it that felt completely necessary. The next points go there.
- I took Heart of the Wild at 13, which does not change much for now.
- I have no Swipe. A talent that boosts it is no use without the ability, and I think it arrives with cat form at level 20.
- The level 13 gain was 17 health, 33 mana, one talent point, one agility and one spirit.
- My two handed mace skill does not rise in bear form. I doubt that is a problem, though I would like to know whether it counts.
Bags, Professions and Add-ons
The practical problems of a full inventory and a stuck tracker.
- My bags were full constantly. I handed in quests partly to free slots and stopped looting junk. I want bigger bags for trade items, and I joked about needing a pay to win one.
- Leatherworking and skinning are my professions. Skinning will not pay off in the few days left, but I expect it to help with gear later.
- I want a second character for herbalism, maybe a Tauren, so I can make first aid and thistle tea for energy while in cat form. If a Horde character cannot mail things to my Alliance one, I will find another way.
- Griffin travel points are far fewer than I expected, and not in every region, so a vendor run means walking all the way back.
- Reading a ley line gave a 15 minute buff for extra health regeneration.
- All the Things shows my completion at 3%, then 4%. I installed it so I know what to collect for 100% when the live version resets everything.
- Questie shows quests but its tracker did not update, and I had trimmed it after it kept showing my Paladin's quests. I turned it off, the quest list updated at once, and I went back to the default tracker. I am also running my own add-on manager on Linux, so I do not know whether everything updated.
What I Want to Try Next
Alts, taunts and a short beta.
- The beta ends in about five days. I will try to record three episodes before then, against my usual one a week.
- I want my first live character to be Alliance, so I get quests I have not done before, and I would like to try a Night Elf to see what that area is like.
- The Paladin patch notes put me off. My Paladin reached 16 or 17 and was fun, but the notes read like a cut across the board. I would rather play what is fun than what is strongest.
- Thorns was cut from seven damage to three, as I read the notes. That is not necessarily bad, but it is a lot less damage.
- A dungeon at level 13 on the Paladin taught me about taunts. My seal that was meant to taunt on the next attack never worked, I could not pull aggro off the healer, and the group finished in spite of me. Level 15 or 20 should bring an area taunt and Consecration.
- I want to try a healer, and Druid, Paladin and Shaman are the obvious ones. I hope the dungeon experience changes, though I do not expect it to.
- I like stealth, so a Rogue is the fallback. The Night Elf hide racial, which the captions call Shadow Melt, is useful for stepping away from the keyboard.
- I also want to try a Warrior, since protection is the one that gets angry the most.
Clearing the Cult Quests as a Druid
- Take the rage talent for bear form early. A 20% chance on every shift is worth more than it looks.
- Empty your bags before you start. Hand in quests as you go to free slots, and do not loot the junk.
- Collect the moss and the heirlooms together. Both drop steadily, unlike the ears.
- Expect to kill many more than twenty Shrieklings for twenty feathers, and do them alongside other kills.
- Heal the seven druids in the cave before the commander, then take his note back to the den.
- Read the ley line for the 15 minute health regeneration buff.
- If a tracker stops updating, turn the add-on off before you assume the quest is broken.

Hello, and welcome to the World of Warcraft Beta. War World of Warcraft Forever Beta. There is only a short explanation. I think we’ll finish the Druid today . I’m a little late . I’m trying different roles and things like that . I want to complete these last few quests before the beta ends . We stopped here at this turncoat quest . There are five more left , maybe a few more . We’ll have to see how this goes . We are now a Feral Druid, and we must transform into a bear form when we get here. Here it is. So I’m starting these , I haven’t played in a few days . So I want to check one thing . I hope there is a way to turn on auto attack . Because I feel like I’m doing something wrong . There you go. Okay. I want to quickly check this and the friends list options . Okay. Options, then Attack. Let’s type, yes, auto attack is on . Okay. However, it’s not working as I thought. So, let’s go inside. Let’s start killing these people . If you right click on it , it wo n’t work. We got a stun . What is that? Windstun. He has a lot of loot. We have an assassin here . And there is a chest. Maybe we can take that chest. Let’s go . We need to click on this dead body now. Let’s go . Let’s see here. This cultist is dead. Upon closer inspection, it appears that he is clutching something tightly to his chest as if protecting it. Turncoat. This person is clearly dead. He was killed by the Assassin you fought outside the house. As you bend down to examine the corpse, you notice something shiny. Okay, we’ll take the leather pants , three agility. That’s a nice little upgrade. Let’s beat them. Well, the shining crystal must be delivered to Talonas in Shadow Song in Valinir, which is far away . Or we can go up. So, let’s go up. Let’s quickly complete some of these . And let’s see where this takes us. I feel like I could have done this better. I noticed, my racial is not in my bear form, so I can’t turn into that floating object . So, let’s go upstairs and try to finish some of the tasks on this side . Because we have n’t finished this part of this zone yet. Theoretically , this will get most things done . We will complete this zone. Hopefully, we’ll finish this today. If it doesn’t work , I’ll do something else. I wanted to try a night elf . So, we can try something Night Elf to see what the area is like . I think my first character will be Alliance , so that I can… do good, new quests, that is, things I haven’t done before. Yes. So, that’s my goal. Okay. Okay, we found this good spot . I think we’re here , right? Yes. It seems like we came to this area for some work . It looks like there are more in the north. Maybe we shouldn’t have come here . I do n’t know. This seems like an area we’ve already been to, but…let’s see. Let’s finish what’s on this side. Let’s see how it goes after that. How many are there here? Here are four. This should be very easy . After that…beta, beta will be over , I think . In five days. So, not much time…oh, it’s pretty dark here . There is not much time . I’ll try to record three episodes , because I’m doing one a week on this series and…that’s plus two more, right? Okay, let’s see how it goes. What are we looking for here ? Delivery is required. The shining crystal should be provided to the land. That’s not what I want. It’s right here. Shrieking Talents. Shrieking. Shrier. Okay. These are not like this…that mob. Let’s see. And I want one. Here it is. Perfect. Yes, this is where Shrieking talents come from. So…it’s strange that they didn’t say that. It’s very strange . Okay. So, these should be very easy . They are not that difficult . I ‘m in rest mode, so we’ll reach level 13 soon. I’m playing with my Paladin . I think I got to level 16 or 17 with that , but… I can’t do it. It was really fun, but I read the patch notes for Paladin. It seems to have been reduced in everything . So. I could probably stop a paladin, just because of that. That doesn’t mean I want to play with the most powerful one . I want to play with anything that’s fun . And if they’re reducing anything, right? I noticed they reduced Thorns for example, right? It would do seven damage . Now it’s doing three damage. Sorry. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, right? It used to do a lot of damage, but now it seems like, you know, maybe we should do a little more damage , right? That means making it a little more fun. But as you can see , we’re not doing that much damage. So, we’ve only gotten one talent out of all this so far. That’s crazy. That’s absolutely crazy. And then I think , wait, let me see here. So, since we’re in beta , they added this legacy thing . They unlocked it for everyone . So, now we have some legacy points to spend. I’m not sure how to spend them . Legacy challenges, legacy trees. Yes, let’s get started. So, we have points and now you can choose different things with these. I think this is it, you get one talent point for every level from ninth level on . And so you get three extra talent points . So what you want to do is maximize it . But I don’t know, when you die, movement speed decreases, durability decreases, all that . Professions. This means that every time we kill someone we gain 1% of our maximum health within 10 seconds . Yes. That’s good. How much should you spend ? Four points. More points. Okay. Okay. Let’s do this, let’s do this, let’s change talents. Um, that’s too expensive. And you get a talent point for that . Let’s remove them because they are no longer needed. And then I just bandaged it . Yes, let’s maximize that too . Okay, I’m going. Let’s kill this person quickly. And that gives us an extra talent point . I believe it is one. Let’s see here. So, you gain talent points for each level from level 5 instead of level 10 . So, we need to choose some additional things. Here it is. And we can apply it . And if we reach that, we get five talent points , right? And then there’s more . So, um, now we have extra things to spend points on . Look, this gives a 20% chance . Let’s take a look at this. Then that’s where I want to go . But I do n’t have a cat farm yet. Um, increase the time period. It looks like really thick skin. Maybe let’s take it now. That’s it. Do it. That’s it. A little strong, but not too much . Well, three out of eight are complete so far. This will take a little time . Go get some combat log, so we don’t see people chatting. It’s okay. Now I’ve definitely decided what to go with, leatherworking, right? That’s okay. Yes. Okay. So, we go with leatherworking and skinning. I think that is the right way . I want to make another special character . Now, if I make a Horde character , I don’t know if I can mail it to my Alliance character . But if possible, I will make a tauren , a tauren for herbalism. And then if not, I’ll do some other Alliance character for Herbalism so that I can do First Aid, because First Aid is… with modifications, um, Druids can drink potions, right? I think it would be great, along with making thistle tea for energy while on the cat farm . Now I want to try healing . So I need to make any character that can heal. I do n’t know what, for example, Druid, Paladin, Shaman, grown-ups, right? I think they are all healing classes . So definitely choose to try one of them, if not all of them. It doesn’t seem like they’ll change the dungeon experience at this point , but I sure hope they do . Oh, here’s a new quest. Well, we have a strange monk . Okay, there’s a gnome here somehow. Okay, can I help you? Hello. I’m sorry. If you’re running away from me , I’m not used to your type. What? Hi. Strange monk. Hello. That is, to say hello. Greetings too. Sorry. Wow, it’s been a long time since I talked to anyone else . I’m getting used to all this . That strange masked man is moving uncomfortably in front of you . Hey, how are you today ? Talk to the strange monk in the Shadow Gale forest and learn about him. Okay, who are you really? That’s a very good question. I have a hard time remembering things, but I remember one thing. An engineer, right? Maybe I feel like that or someone else. Other than that, all I remember is flying in the sky, seeing lightning, and then having an accident and falling . However, it has been a long time since this happened . A very long time. What are all these machines? Oh, this? I made it myself . My little friends helped me . I don’t remember old things exactly , but I remember that I used to make very large things, and then I came here. What I do now is not that big or grand. But they are what make me happy . Hey, if you want, I’ll teach you how to make it too. Okay. Sure, why not? Learn engineering. Oh, he’s an engineering trainer. Okay, good. But that’s okay. Hello. How are you? Strange monk. Need help. Well, that’s all I have to say about that. Hey, now I’m here . I have friends . I have my things . But, that’s all I have to say on the matter. It’s always good to converse with people who talk back. Those four souls try , but they just sing songs in front of me. That would also be good in a way . But that doesn’t seem like a proper conversation . This leads to two quests . Wow, this looks like it’s going to take a long time . Okay, forest wealth. So, what we need is boo, thank you for coming to talk to me. If you want to help, would you help me a little bit in collecting acorns from the forest ? I collected what was nearby, but there were many raptor birds in the forest . It’s dangerous there, so I don’t want to be a meal for those birds . So, if you can, would you collect them for me? If you do that, I will make you something delicious . Okay. Collect eight acorns. Have a nice day . Free the hellos . Many of the elves on this island believe that this forest is full of demons , and they are right. A strange kind of spirits gather at the old ruins in the northeast. Some nights, you can hear them singing. This is a song I’ve never heard before, but it’s definitely a song. This is very unfortunate . I don’t know exactly why. I think something terrible must have happened here , that’s why the souls are trapped here . Try to free them. End the 10 Wind Halos at the Shadow Gate for us. We are going to get new leather boots, they are better. Awesome. And some experience. Okay. Now, we have them . Those are some more quests. I didn’t think there would be more quests when we got here. To be honest, I thought our work with this area was done. There you go . I don’t like how your next attack abilities work . It would be nice if they were made into instant attacks with a cooldown , right? That seems strange. I do n’t know how to explain it. Okay , I found an acorn that looks like a raptor. 39 I don’t know why I’m still skinning , but I know it’ll come in handy later, but right now it wo n’t be that great because there are only a few days left , right? But I think having skinning, after a long time, will be useful for making gear, etc. I don’t know how useful that will be, but we’ll see. There you go . What is it? Battle Chain Racers. Oh, I installed ‘All the Things’ because I was in a situation where I was like , ” Oh, I’m doing all the quests in this Dwarf Zone . I do n’t know if I’m leaving anything out, right? I want to experience them all .” And ‘All the Things’ seems like the perfect choice for that. I installed ‘Questi Dy2’ , I think it will show them . I disabled some parts of it because they were a bit annoying . That means the tracker here is for the quests on my Paladin character . That’s why I disabled it . But overall, ’ All the Things’ is good, right? This shows that I’m 3% done with the game , right? Um, no. Look, I just finished the Hall of Fame with my Paladin , my Paladin, so I understand that when the game goes to the live version , it’s all going to be reset and it’s definitely going to be different . So, I will definitely enjoy it . So I understand what I need to do and what to collect to complete the game 100% . It would be fun to have such tracking available , wouldn’t it? And Questie shows quests, right? You can search for quests and find things. But this would be great , would n’t it? The Hall of Things is actually a fun dungeon. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this in previous videos, but I did it with my Paladin at level 13 , and I would recommend not doing it at level 13 at all , because then you won’t have any taunt . At least it was n’t then. And tant means something that works well. I believe I had a seal that would give me a taunt on the next attack . It didn’t work at all. I’ve never been able to take aggro from a healer . Healers sometimes died. The group completed the dungeon despite my incompetence, but it was a challenging experience. If I had gone at level 15, I would have had a better experience overall because maybe at level 15 or 20 you get AoE or Consecration . But having AOE taunts and such gives a good experience. That’s why I think Druid is fun because we have so many different kinds of things . Plus, I like stealth, and if Druid can’t do it, I’ll pick Rogue, because I need stealth. So what if I have to go AFK on some work , right? I should be able to do that. When going to the bathroom or for any work , you should be stealthy and not stand like a doll. I do n’t play in PvP, but mobs do attack. So, but it depends entirely on personal preferences . But I believe that a druid can fix almost everything. The Night Elf race has ’ Shadow Melt’ , which is useful for hiding from the first level of any class, right? So, we need to think about that too. Okay, come on, let’s get this over with. These are big blows. Let’s go . That’s what they said. 13. Let’s go back. We have increased by 17 health points, 33 mana, one talent point, one agility, and one spirit . So, one more point for us… What do we have here? Mal and Demoralizing Roar increase our swipe damage . Do we still have Swipe? Feral, we do n’t have swipe. Why don’t we have Swipe? Why should I increase the power of something I don’t have? Am I missing something ? Um, yeah, maybe Swipe is in Cat Farm , but Cat Farm doesn’t come until level 20 . So, let’s take the ‘Heart of the Wild’ point . To be honest , this won’t make much difference . For now . Okay. Oh, there’s someone there. I don’t know who he is. Greetings from Gael… Good luck, our message has reached Lotham. Wait a minute, where’s the rest of the army? Surely you didn’t come alone, right? The greetings they sent… Gael was part of the conversation. Does that mean the message didn’t reach you? We are really in trouble. If so, we need to solve this ourselves . Time is very valuable. Oh my God, three more requests. We didn’t expect to be hit so suddenly . That’s Alkath. They were never our enemies , but with this attack they injured many of my people. I will avenge the dead druids of my den . Remember, they will pay the price . Tears of a goddess. To save my comrades in the Nightclaw Den, I need some ingredients for a potion . First and foremost is a special moss called ’ Lady’s Tear’ . It usually grows on the tops of trees in the Shadow Gale. This moss produces a sticky substance that acts as an antiseptic and is perfect for dressing wounds. I gathered what was available to me, but I knew there was still a little left in the wild . Go quickly. If the injured are still alive, we need this very much. Okay , we need eight lady tire moths before we meet again . Binding feathers should be collected. Um. Oh, binding feathers. Another material I need for my polist is the feathers of the Shadow Gale Shrieklings that roam this forest . When they are young , their insulated feathers are great for keeping on top of moss . These feathers stop the antiseptic sap from drying out and provide some protection from the weather. Be careful, Shrieklings are usually calm, but lately they have been becoming very aggressive . If you’re not careful, their large claws can easily tear you apart. Collect 20. God, I just finished that quest. Oh, the unwanted and the unworthy. The Algath cultists attacked us , without any warning. Their intentions remain a mystery to me. I knew these cultists were stupid, but I didn’t expect them to be so restless. There’s a delicate balance here, Jeffries, with such cruelty. Kill as many people as you can. Take any heirlooms they wear. She spits . These storm- cursed cultists are not even worthy of being called Shindorai. Leave their bodies to wild animals. Their ashes are not even worthy of the wind. Oh, she is so cruel. Collect 10 Blood Heirlooms from Alakth Soldiers and Storm Hunters. May the wind guide you. I care . I care . Okay, there’s a lot going on here . I liked the mood at this level. It’s very moody . Come on. 49. I hope they give more than one feather at a time , because God, they haven’t given even one. There is moss there. Let’s take it while we can. Ridiculous. Well, that’s just the player playing. A lot of moss. Collect my moss . All we need is moss. Now, I want to know how big these bags can be for trade crafting items . I hope there are bigger bags that can hold more than five items , because the current ones are too small . Okay, that’s done. Okay, kill more. Come on. I feel like I need another attack . Okay. I feel like I really want something . What’s up? I do n’t see anything here. Let’s see here. And they don’t appear on the creature, do they? Let’s see here. F F6 Quest Item Drop Droppers are not visible on this creature . Well, I’ll leave it to the developers to figure out how to do the actual exploration . A real quest, right? They will definitely figure this out quickly. Listen to me type, and I’ll tell you. Yes, we still have a full relaxing experience until this level ends. Good. Honestly, having those extra five talent points is really nice. It wasn’t there when we started playing, but it’s great now. Sure. Because the successes here, including those related to the profession, seem to be very good . You can get better stuff there . But I hope to get more than 16 points . That is. I think one point comes with each class level increase . So hopefully some points will come , because I think this is a good meta progression while playing the game . If so, I would n’t mind raising the level of some classes. Come on. Okay, there is one. Oh, here’s another quest. Oh, critical hit right at the beginning. Perfect. 53. What do we have here? Hey, friend. Banu Adora. Compassion does not fall on deaf ears. Greetings from Gail. Alth has brought great tragedy to our enclave. Blood must be paid . The answer must be given with blood. I have an offer for you, stranger. If you have to fight this evil tribe , bring me their ears . The ears of everyone you kill. I will reward you with coins and time for everything you bring back, and I will give you access to Nightclaw’s secrets if you prove yourself a true friend. Collect five Occultist Ears from the Alth Cultists in the forest. Okay. Be careful with this. I’ll take care of it, bro. I’ll take care of it. Do you need ears? Every human has two ears, right? That means we can complete this in a few minutes. Very funny. Okay, we found an heirloom , but it does n’t have ears. Interesting . Maybe one of these . I do n’t know. Come on. Come on. Kill. This is emerging. No ears yet. Come on. Oh, it’s healing . Oh, look at that . A 90 and no ears. 90 and no ears. Now I feel like I should have taken fur, right? Transforming into a bear gives you a 20% chance of gaining rage, right? So there’s a 20% chance I’ll turn into a bear. I get it . I have to take it . Honestly, thinking about it now, I was going to put my next points there . It definitely feels 100% necessary because there’s a 20% chance I’ll get that angry , and I’ve had a few minutes to think about it . Yeah, so definitely, smart there. Maybe, if I think about this more carefully, the first five points could be the same . I think I’ll have to go there . The rest, like Fero Swiftness, are nice because I want to run faster , but I probably don’t need it because I can’t even do the Cat Farm yet. No, things that come to mind when you think about something a little more. Is this bear some kind of elite? Because that’s how it swipes . Why do n’t I have a swipe? What is this? My bag is full. Oh, do we need any of this? No. Yes, inventory becomes a big problem. I think that will be the biggest problem . I don’t know if there are pay- to-win bags in this game , but honestly, I feel like I need a pay-to- win bag . There you go. I do n’t want to go back to the vendor, do I ? Because then I would have to run all the way back here again , this is something I noticed. I thought there were more Griffin teleports here, meaning those little fast travel points. I thought there were more of them. But there are far fewer than I expected . They are not even in each region. So it’s definitely interesting . Didn’t I loot that bear ? Oh yeah, I couldn’t loot the bag because it was full . I’ll see if there’s anything I can destroy here. There is a spirit at Bear Farm. That is an item. Protection into Bear Farm. Another Spirit 88. Oops. Oh, there you go. We found the first ear. Perfect. Yeah, we don’t loot any of that crap . Okay. Let’s see. We need feathers. I don’t know why there’s this gap here. Quest. I do n’t know 100%. Maybe we can submit this and free up some inventory. 11 of 20. There’s no point in looting all these corpses . It will help there if we complete the Acorn Crow quest. I don’t know if we can hand it over if we go there, okay, let’s hand it over to this lady here because she’s right here . We do n’t have enough ears yet. This can free up a space. The Zris will not fall. Here it is. Have you found women? Yes. Here it is. She takes the sticky moss from you with a weak smile . Thank you, Voxyl. You did very well. This is exactly what I need. Run with the wind. experience points for that. What a great person. Okay. Come on. Two. Come on. There you go. There is another heirloom there. I need their ears. Oh, that frees up space for two things and I blocked it . Come on. There you go . Need more anger. Another heirloom item. There are a lot of icons down here because I set this up . But switching to bare form and for Moonfire seems like a lot of extra work, but honestly there’s not much gain. Okay, let’s hand it over. This will free up another inventory space . There you go . It won’t fall. Okay, the cult must be punished. Best wishes. Sees a collection of blood-stained heirlooms. How many young lives? A lot of potential is now gone forever. Thanks for returning these, Druid. I will keep them safe until I give them to the High Elder. There you go . They can go back into the collection and wait for a more qualified generation to come along . Beware of still air. Okay. And look here, I think we still need feathers . Make that swamp useful . I am doing two mantras. There you go . 13 out of 20. I don’t know why it’s not being tracked. I really don’t know . It says it will be tracked, but it doesn’t track. Okay, we still need ears. They don’t even appear . Maybe they’ve stopped all of them . I do n’t know. Maybe it seemed too modern to some people . Or I need to update one of these mods . Maybe these mods are outdated . That is causing the same problem . I’m about 4% through the game . 4%. There you go . Come on. Here are some more. I aired it early , so it was good on that mole. It would be nice if I could see where my spells are . That’s probably oh, wait. Show everything. No. No. That’s no use. What’s that? He’s wearing a helmet, so it’s easy to cut off his ears . Here it is. Like I said, there is a commander there . I think his name will be on the list of people we need to kill . Let’s get started. Come on, let’s see. Running away is cowardice. Four or five is fine. I’m a little curious, there’s a patch for something , I haven’t seen it yet. Warriors. They get hit more . Protection warriors are the ones who get the most angry. So that might be a little fun . I wanted to try Warrior but haven’t had the chance yet . So I might try it soon. Okay, it’s all over . Let’s give these . Kindness should not be overlooked. I won’t give up at all, I won’t sleep until I cut everyone’s throat. Okay, let’s get gloves. Very good work. Good will only come from ending this cult . They need to understand that Nightclaw is not afraid of anything, and how fierce our vengeance is. I guess you have a lot of work . Collect and bring more ears, to confront this cult . I’m sure it’s okay, I mean now we can wear gloves, before we did n’t have gloves. Oh, he might sell us something at his place . Perfect. I need to get rid of all the trash I have . Okay. Let’s remove all this unnecessary stuff. You can get rid of some of these apples . I think that’s good. This useless food. It’s over. That’s right . He is selling He is selling blacksmithing recipes and other items . Very good. And a pet too. Okay, that’s good. Okay, along with the wind. Good. Okay, that’s done. What do we need now? He’s coming at me . We need to collect more ears , right? Then we can submit them . Oops, just found out that my two-handed mace skill doesn’t increase when I’m a bear. That’s interesting . I doubt that’s the problem. I’m thinking I want to improve my weapon skills, but maybe that doesn’t count . Come. Here it is. 50 40. Okay, let’s see if we can kill the rest too. We have 13 feathers. Yes. So, we need some more. They’re not that easy to find , I told you. You’ll probably have to kill more than 20 of these to get them . But, now that I know about this, when we do the original, I’ll figure out how to do it with that dwarf, because he’ll have his little claw quest . Oh, no. I think there’s something else besides the search for those nails , those bubbles, right? So, there are some items there . Now, let’s go upstairs and do this quickly. I saved quickly, but I think it was more laborious than I thought . Okay, Wind Hollow . None of these have their references . So, abandoned items. Perfect. And this, I know, is one of these quests for the townspeople. So, let’s get it done at the same time . Oh, we got the Chargers armor for men. This cannot be worn. What else is there in this area? Oh, and if we do, where is the ley line ? Read the ley line . Boom. 15- minute buff for additional health regen. No, we need it. We want to go there . Okay, let’s bring this guy here . Okay, these are green, so they’re not too small. Found some more pants. And these are nails, so they’re not of much use to us at the moment. And we found a box . Come on. Here is another box. So, let’s bring him here. To be honest, it’s not too bad. Oh , it says it’s liberated. What am I doing wrong? Oh, it’s not even updating, is it? It says four. Okay. Okay, where am I supposed to go from here? Let’s do this. Exploration options tracker. Enable the tracker because the default one is not working. Nothing is showing . Quest Tracker. Okay. Show me some quests. Quest. There you go . Maybe I should loot something. Who knows? No. That wo n’t work, will it? No. Questy, you are so useless . Trust the options tracker . Showing the quest log. I will not reset this. Okay. If anyone knows, please put it here. I don’t want this in front of my eyes . What am I looking at? Okay. This is a very terrible add- on. I do n’t understand how to use this. So, this is very bad. Let’s get rid of it . Okay, that updated all my quests . Okay, that’s what I need. No, I can leave the quest. I might need to update . Wait a minute, I’m not going to lie . I did it. I made my own add-on manager for Linux and don’t know if it updated the game. So, I got that too . That might be the reason, but I’m not too worried. All things, in a way , are what I need . Okay, let’s kill a few more and then give these quests to that gnome , because he only has these two quests . And let’s end this video there. In the next video, I didn’t think there would be so many quests in this zone, we’ll try to complete the rest , let’s see. Nothing much . I’m not in any hurry, am I ? I don’t rush into anything, that’s something you need to know about me . So, it will take as long as it takes . Okay, one more thing. I don’t know 100% what this is. I need to find the runes. Okay. There is a man named Song here. We need to kill him while we’re here. He is nowhere to be seen above . Is he down there? Maybe he is here . It says he’s in this area , but he hasn’t been seen above. Shall we look back? It’s better to finish the work while you’re here. Oh, there’s another new building behind . There is his body there. Okay, perfect. That’s very easy. Okay , we have to submit a lot now . We didn’t collect those feathers . Okay, let’s submit everything . Let’s do the same. Select a map. Everything will be fine . Okay, let’s give it to that gnome first , because he’s right here . Then let’s go to town and submit everything else there . After submitting everything, you will have to come back here for these feathers . But I’m not too worried about it. What if we find those feathers while we’re wandering around, okay? On the way to the gnome. I do n’t think that’s going to happen because they’re very rare considering all the demand, right? There is no life on the road here. There is one. Let’s kill it. Okay, if we find one feather, let’s hunt for another. If we can’t find the feather, we won’t do it. This is a good way to do it. Oh, widow. Okay, there’s another one . Same thing . Go at double speed. Aha. Didn’t go up. Okay, let’s give these to Gnome and see where we are. It’s right here. Nice to meet you, horse gift. Here are your walnuts, friend. Thank you, stranger. These are very tasty when cooked. I’m sorry. It doesn’t take long to prepare. Liberate the Hollows. Okay, let’s get some shoes . Thank you, stranger. Okay . And then we can put on these shoes . Very good. Okay, that’s done. Now, against my better judgment , let’s take these four remaining feathers. It would be nice if the work was finished quickly. Let’s give them away and go to the main city to submit the rest . Since there are only four left, I hope to finish the work in three . One, two, I wish there was a way to add another attack to this . I feel like I’m missing an attack . I don’t know why . Maybe I should go to a trainer and learn to trade and swipe . Oh, what else? Maybe that’s what happened . It might not be a swipe or it might be something else . Whatever that other thing is . Okay. Let’s go . Okay. Two more. Two more birds. Let’s head towards the Druid ruins here, which means some walking will be reduced. I hope to find more along the way . There you go. Thorns. I give myself anger . Give me all the anger. 89. Oh, I love her . The remaining feathers were also found. Perfect. Now we can give these away. Definitely worth it. Oh, maybe there’s something else after this . Maybe she’s asking them to cure these. I don’t know. Okay, here are your feathers. Thank you for these. I will use every feather so that the sacrifice is not in vain . Yes, two more. Okay. The bonds that bind are air. Oh, I still do n’t understand why there are cultists here, but there’s a familiar smell amidst the bloodshed . Hen, one of our circle druids, disappeared a month ago . It’s been a long time since that happened . It seems his story is over. Sorry. Hide with those cultists. Show him what happens when you spill blood. Kill the commander. Okay. May the wind guide your path . And the wounds of betrayal. Enter the cave and heal the seven druids. Okay, let’s move on . Let ‘s finish this too. Since we ‘re here , I honestly can’t go back this far again . Well, for all that we got 500 faction points . That’s not enough. Need more. Go. Very good. Okay, let’s go inside. We don’t know who we are healing , but their bodies. Oh , there’s that guy. Okay, perfect. Oh, it’s very easy. Can I damage this wall? No, we can’t. What? Why? How can I be a big bear and that person be something else ? Oh, what’s going on here? There seems to be some kind of small party going on here . Why are n’t they healing? Why are n’t they protecting their people? They seem to be standing around a crystal, betraying their own ambition . Okay, here it is. I liked that they had names. I think that’s a good thing . Oh, shut up. This is the thread we came from. Are there really no seven people here ? Who is that person ? He is just wandering around . Here it is. You are dead. Can I heal you ? Here it is. All seven recovered . Very good. Now, let’s go kill the commander on top of the hill. Let’s see here. Let’s do it again . Let’s do it again . That’s it. Okay, let’s try to avoid those people . I have to go upstairs. Avoiding . Fight as much as possible. Because there is no big benefit from it. Well, they have big ears . I don’t understand how my ears don’t ring with every kill here . Come on, move. Oh my God. Okay, friend. You don’t even fight like a druid. He is a druid in training. Okay. Another quest, along with a severed head. There was a slightly torn note on the back of one of his bracers. Um, it seems to be with blood stains, which contains useful information about the cultists’ motivations. Might be interesting . Give her the letter . Okay. Where am I going? She is there. She is here. Okay. We completed more quests here than we thought we would , which is a good thing because we can complete the end of this zone in the next episode. Okay, three quests that connect bonds. Here is the head. Thank you, Voxyl. No matter how angry I was, it would have been difficult to knock him down. Um, don’t kill him. His ignorance and hatred have claimed the lives of many people today . Okay, look here. We have reached level 14. Good. We are now friends with these druids . Wounds caused by betrayal. No, no. This is much worse than I expected. She gritted her teeth and roared in pain. They will pay the price . They all pay the price . Whoever joins hands with Alcth will experience my wrath. This death is not in vain. They came here for the pylon . But for what? We are not the real reason for their attack . She is preparing herself to be brave . They killed my people because we were in the way . I will tear every cultist apart with my fangs . I will make sure that no one here survives . Go immediately. If those orders really came from Valinor , it means that there is a traitor lurking there . Give this letter to Liam in Valinor and tell him what happened. What did the wind say? What is the fate of the cave? It seems that someone is hiding somewhere in Valinor and providing information to the cult. I am not in any condition to travel . But Lotham needs to know what happened here. He also needs to know about the fate of those who are no longer there. Thanks for your help , I think we can take care of the rest of the situation . Even if there is damage , please go quickly, Voxyl, please. I hope to meet again someday . Until then, I have a job to do to end the cultists . Give this letter to Ulim in Valinor and tell him what happened. Okay. Boy, there’s been a lot of bloodshed here. Okay. I did a lot more work than I planned to do today. But, okay, that’s it. The Skyborn Druids Alliance side quest is almost over. It was really fun . In the next episode, let ‘s complete the remaining quests and submit them in the city , and see how this zone ends . But thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a wonderful day .
More from World of Warcraft Forever Beta
Making Our Way to Dalaran
The last episode in the Zephyrus Island starting zone for my Druid. I hand in the backlog, talk two feuding factions into one assault, take the sanctuary, deal with the cult leader, finally buy the trainer skills I had been skipping, and sail to Dalaran. Next up is a defense Paladin trial before the beta launches.
Patch Notes October 15, 2026 - World of Warcraft Forever - Beta
The October 15 beta update to World of Warcraft Forever, read through a few weeks before the November 4 launch. Racial abilities are reworked, mostly as easings, the Paladin takes a stack of nerfs, the Druid keeps its energy between forms, and Horde players are no longer welcome in Dalaran.
