Spy Hunter

Spy Hunter is a daily you can do to build rep with The Sons of Hodir. You need to be honored with The Sons of Hodir to be able to pick up this quest. If you can't do daily's for The Sons of Hodir yet check out Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's for information on how you can start.

You pick this quest up from the Frostworg Denmother at Dun Niffelem. She is located on the very bottom level in the northwest corner.

To complete this quest you must defeat 3 Stormforged Spies in the Valley of Ancient Winters. You are given a Ethereal Worg Fang to use at the Corpse of the Fallen Worg (57,64) in the Valley of Ancient Winters. To do this you just go to the Corpse of the Fallen Worg and right click on the Ethereal Worg Fang. An Ethereal Worg will appear to lead you to a Stormforged Spy.

You need to follow the Ethereal Worg around while it sniffs out a spy. It is a good idea to target your Ethereal Worg then set focus which will put it on your screen down below the party area. The reason for this is there are usually a lot of people around donig this at the same time and the Roaming Jormungar will attack you and your Ethereal Worg and you will end up losing your Worg. The way you set focus is to right click on the Ethereal Worg's portrait, when you have him targeted, and click on 'Set Focus'.

Eventually the Ethereal Worg will find a Stormforged Spy at which time he will stop and howl. This will cause the Stromforged Spy to appear and throw out some kind of threat like 'Time to die'. You kill him and get credit. You have to kill 3 Stormforged Spies to complete the quest.

When you have your 3 kills you turn this back in to the Forstworg Denmother for 13g23s and 350 rep with The Sons of Hodir. This is another easy quest that returns good gold and rep for very little time. You should plan on doing this one at the same time you do Polishing the Helm and Feeding Arngrim as they are all basically in the same area.

Good Luck :)

Eye of the Storm 5/29/09

Eye of the Storm was the daily battleground today. I picked it up in Dalaran on Wranngar. We won the first battle I was in with a 3 cap and some flag running. I stayed for 4 more battles, 3 wins and one loss.

In the first battle I was in we had a 3 cap going with DR, MT & FRR and a 4 cap going on and off with BET. We would get it and lose it, get it and lose it, but that is good, it kept all the Horde at BET fighting for it and we were able to hold the other 3 nodes without any trouble and run the flag.

The 3rd and 4th battles I was in we had a 4 cap. Not a Perfect Storm but a 4 cap none the less. We started with MT, DR and FRR in both battles and eventually got and held BET. We were running the flag in both those as well. The Alliance seemed to be doing pretty good up to that point.

In the 5th battle I was in you could tell nap time was over. We got slaughtered. Half the people didn't even get off the rock and were saying to just let them win. The Horde won on a 4 cap on that one but I fought throughout the entire battle anyway.

It seems like there is a certain time of day when the good PvP players stop playing and the kids and weekend warriors take over. I didn't check to see if EoS is this weekends battleground but I kind of doubt it is because the play in the first 4 battles was good, not the type of fighting you get from weekend warriors.
