World of Warcraft - Your Ogri'la Daily Quests Guide

You've been following Mandorall's excellent advice to make some quick Wow gold, when you noticed in your Quest Log that it says "2/10 daily quests." Surely, you tell yourself, that must mean there are other of these so-called daily quests out there, and I could make even more easy gold! Your next thought is obviously "Come on, Mandorall!" Why didn't you mention this before? Well, I'm here to rectify this monstrous omission on the part of our dust-covered and moth-eaten Paladin friend.

In the Western Blade Edge's Mountains is an area only reachable by flying mount. This area, directly west of Sylvanaar, is The Vortex Pinnacle, home to the mythical Ogri'la Ogres (Good Ogres, and quite a bit brighter than the norm, which isn't saying much, I know.) If you're wondering why these Ogres are good, well you're barking up the wrong tree, since I couldn't care less about World of Warcraft lore, there's gold to be made here!

The Ogri'la, like the Skyguards mentioned by Mandorall, are a rich source of daily quests. What's more, they are associated with the Skyguards. A Skyguards Outpost is located barely 100 yards to the north of the Ogri'lla main compound, and it also offers daily quests! But that's not all! The Skyguards offer a direct flight from their Blade's Edge Mountains Outpost to the Blackwind Landing base in Skettis absolutely FREE!! (Honored reputation with Skyguards required. Other restrictions may apply. Offer may change at any time)

 

 

So, you ask, how can these wonderful daily quests become available to me? Well my friends, I'll tell you, but be warned this is not for the faint of heart! (Due to some persistent cursing trying to find groups, these Quests have been rated TV-14 LVD)

You start by talking to V'eru (57,46), one of the Naaru in Shattrah, who will request that you find and talk to the Ogre Grok (65,68) in the Lower city. Grok will direct you to Mog'dorg the Wizened (55,44) in the Blade's Edge Mountains. Mog'dorg will offer three Quests which can be completed in any order you prefer. All three quests require a 5-man group to complete.

 is the first one I completed, so we might as well start there. Maggoc is one of the sons of Gruul (whoever he his, I don't care), quite ill-tempered (but without laser beams - 10 Free WoW Gold on Gnomeregan Server to whom can find the reference!) and roams around Razor Ridge (63,55). With an average decently clad 5-man group, he should be easy to take down. Now, the important thing is that he doesn't carry the required chest with him, but drops it on the ground to be looted separately. Even more important is that this chest can be looted by anyone, not just the party that takes him down! You may therefore complete this quest without fighting Maggoc at all, just by being at the right place at the right time. Great information for all the freeloaders out there!

The second quest is Grulloc Has Two Skulls. Grulloc, another son of the enigmatic Gruul, is also located in the Blade's Edge Mountains in the Cursed Hollow (59,47) just over the mountains from Razor Ridge and therefore a 2 minute flight from Maggoc. He's also easy to take down with a 5-man group and again drops the skull to be looted separately.

The third quest, Even Gronn Have Standards, requires you to go back to Terrokar. Slaag is located in the Barrier Hills above Shattrah (20,16) and is quite a bit more difficult to kill than his brothers were, so make sure your group's tank/healer combo are good. Also this mob has an AoE attack every few seconds that will damage and push back everyone in a 15 yard radius, so make sure the healer and range DPS are not in range. As with his brother he will drop a separately looted standard that anyone can loot.

So now you need to get back to Mog'dorg in Blade's Edge to return all three quests. You're probably thinking, well that was somewhat time consuming, but not that bad to get 3 new Daily Quests. Unfortunately for you, this was just the beginning!

After all this, Mog'dorg is not finished with you, far from it. Apparently he needs a Grimoire, hence the quest . This one absolutely requires 5 players as you need to reach Vim'gol's Circle (77,30). Each member of the group stands in one of the five circles which starts a light show that summon the required mob. This mob is also quite powerful and should be taken down quickly before he "enrages" and wipes you out. I was lucky and had an epic-clad party (except for me, of course) and we took him down despite the "enrage". Apparently you can run back to the circles to take down his "enrage", but I didn't need to try it so am unsure of the success of this strategy. Once you get the Grimoire in question you need to return to Mog'dorg to get next quest in the chain.

It requires you to activate an altar in the Circle of Blood (60,24) This will cause waves of 70 non elite ghosts to try to destroy it for 2 minutes before Skulloc appears. You should promtply engage all the ghosts as quickly as possible to keep them away from the altar. After 2 minutes Skulloc is summoned and the main fight begins. Skulloc is not easy to kill as he summons some ghosts to his defense, banishes players for 10 seconds and has a DoT he cast around that need to be dispelled rapidly, as it scales up pretty quickly for some 1000s of damage. Upon dying, he drops his soul, which needs to be looted seperatly. Depending where he dies it may be difficult to loot it and you may get quite a few "too far away" messages before you find a spot that will allow you to get it. Just walk around the Soul to find an acceptable spot.

When you return this quest to Mor'dorg, he proudly announces the fact to all players in the zone, "crowning" you King/Queen of the Ogres and directs to speak to Chu'a'lor in Ogri'la (28,57) You are now Neutral with the Ogri'la faction and are almost ready to start the daily quests. The remaining quests are not group quests.

Chu'a'lor needs 5 Apexis shards for The Crystals quest. You can simply get them off any mob in the Vortex Pinnacle or looted off Crystal Shard formations. The formations are not easy to see, so you need to use your mouse to locate them when the cursor changes into the gear icon.

 a very original quest indeed. You need one Apexis shards to power an Apexis Relic. The Relics are found in multiple locations around the Vortex Pinnacle, but I usually use the one just north of Ogri'la and the Skyguard outpost. Make sure to kill off the mobs around your Relic (which is one of the smaller object and not the central Apexis Monument in the middle) as you may get interrupted by an attacking mob during the quest, which would force you to restart the device with yet another shard. The quest is a memory game, where a series of light turn on in a sequence which you must repeat flawlessly or get zapped with 3000+ damage per error. If you do make a mistake and the quest doesn't restart, you need to try to find your place in the sequence or just leave the small platform and restart the device with another shard after waiting 15 seconds. Pen and paper are recommended to complete the quest unless you have a very good memory (sequence goes up to 8+ lights). Please note: sometimes the lights with appear but the sounds doesn't. Make sure to follow the sequence of light regardless of the sounds. When the quest completes, the light show continues but it apparently serves no purpose to continue (wouldn't really know; didn't try it)

This becomes a daily quest after the first time, which means you can actually do it twice the first day. Also note that most daily quests reward you with gold and apexis shards so you won't need to farm them (they stack to 250, and you'll soon have stack of them).
