THE QUEST
1) DIREWIND CLIFFS: You are looking for Vahna, Dryad of Direwind (Level 55).
You will find Vahna at the Druid rings.
Hail and follow along, or just try saying, "What is Direwind?" to get the first task (The Direwind Boneyard).
.
2) Now get a decent group up and head to the "Boneyard" in the southwest corner.
All here is undead.
Simply kill everything in the general area until you have:
Killed a total of ten (10) A Bonestitch Golem and/or A Fleshstitch Golem (both Level 71);
Killed four (4) A Clan Direwind Carrionmancer (Level 71 to 74);
Looted four (4) Clan Direwind Golem Stitching (No Trade, Weight 0.6).
.
3) Head back to Vahna.
Give Vahna the four (4) Clan Direwind Golem Stitching to finish the first task.
.
4) Now hail Vahna and follow along, or just try saying "What Direwind" to get the second task (The Direwind Plaguebringers).
.
5) Now head take a good group to one of the camps commonly called "Direwind Current East" or the "Direwind Current West."
They are both on the western side of the zone, in the middle section... on opposite sides of the center area of that section.
The first step is simple enough, just kill four (4) A Clan Direwind Plaguebearer (Level 77).
.
6) The second step, however, is a bit of a challenge.
Floating above the center pillar of the ruins near you, you should see Direwind Current (Level 75).
You need to clear the area to pull him.
Upon pulling him, he will Death Touch the puller.
At that point, everyone else needs to go all out DPS and kill him fast, else he will DT another group member in about 30 seconds (and every 30 seconds after that).
He is low HP, so don't worry too much..
Once he is dead, you need to loot a Blight Pyre Ember (Lore, No Trade, Weight 0.6).
.
7) Head back to Vahna.
Give Vahna the Blight Pyre Ember.
.
8) Now hail Vahna and follow along, or just try saying "What Direwind" to get the third task (The Direwind Ritual Plague).
.
9) Now you need to head to the "Ratcaller" camp.
This is up by the gates that lead to Ashengate.
Camp on the wall opposite the gates and you should be good to go. Take a good group.
Now you simply need to...:
Kill 10 A Clan Direwind Ratcaller (Level 75 to 77)... be wary, they can summon multiple A Plague Rat (Level 60) helpers at low health;
Kill 10 A Direwind Ratkin (Level 73 to 76);
Destroy Axxanderan's Animated Remains (Level 78-plus)... located a little further around the bend;
Loot 4 Rat Skull Totem (1HS, 5 DMG, 28 Delay; Weight 4.0).
.
10) Head back to Vahna.
Give Vahna the four (4) Rat Skull Totem, to finish this task.
.
11) Now hail Vahna and follow along, or just try saying "What Direwind" to get the last task (Allies Against the Wind).
Vahna will give you a Vahna's Tear (Lore, No Trade, Quest, Weight 0.6).
.
12) SUNDEROCK SPRINGS: Take a good group with you.
This step involves killing all of the guardians (Keeper of the Eastern Spire, Keeper of the Northern Spire, Keeper of the Southern Spire and the Keeper of the Western Spire... all Level 70 to 75) at each of the four spires in Sunderock.
There are about ten (10) of them around each spire. They are easily single pulled.
Start at any spire you desire (I suggest west, south, east and then north).
After you kill all of the guards (Keepers) at each spire, a non-KoS Level 78-ish giant golem will appear. They are:
Geodagod the Northern Spire
Crystalback the Southern Spire
Erarock the Eastern Spire
Blackridge the Western Spire
.
13) Once each of the named MOB's spawns, simply give each one of them the Vahna's Tear.
They will each give it back.
.
14) DIREWIND CLIFFS: Head back to Vahna.
Give Vahna the Vahna's Tear to finish this task.
You will now be able to claim your Windwillow Leaf. Gratz.
