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 :)

Feeding Arngrim

Feeding Arngrim is a daily you can do to earn rep with The Sons of Hodir. You have to be revered with The Sons of Hodir to be able to pick up this daily. If you don't have enough rep with The Sons of Hodir to do their daily's then check out Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's to see how you can increase your rep with them. You pick this quest up from Arngrim's monument I guess you would call it.

For this quest you are given Arngrim's Tooth which you use to feed him. You will need to head to the Valley Ancient Winters which is due west of Dun Niffelem. There you will see these worms running around called Roaming Jormungar.

You have to throw Arngrim's Tooth at a Roaming Jormungar then beat up on it enough so it is docile. To do this you target the Roaming Jormungar then right click on the tooth. You will know when it is docile because you won't be able to hit it anymore. They are usually docile enough around 3k hp. Don't make the mistake I do and kill them before they go docile, you get nothing for that and can't even loot or skin them. You need to beat up on them gently :).

Once they are docile Arngrim comes out and eats them. You get credit for feeding him as soon as they go docile. You need to do this 5 times to complete the daily. I usually have to wait for the tooth to cool down before I can move on to the next one so this is a pretty quick quest, only takes a few minutes.

You turn this daily back in where you got it. It pays 13g23s and 350 rep with The Sons of Hodir. This is a quick and easy daily that gets you some good gold and good rep. You should plan on doing this one along with Polishing the Helm and Spy Hunter as they are in the same area.

Good Luck :)

Polishing the Helm

Polishing the Helm is a daily rep quest for The Sons of Hodir. You need to be friendly with The Sons of Hodir to get this daily. If you are not friendly with The Sons of Hodir check out this post Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's.

You pick this quest up from the helm at Dun Niffelem. It is hung up and you need to fly up to get it. The objective of this quest is to get 5 Viscous Oil to polish Hodir's Helm with.

You get the Viscous Oil from the Viscous Oil Mobs inside the Hibernal Cavern (55,64). The Hibernal Cavern is located west of Dun Niffelem in the Valley Ancient Winters. If you are heading west from Dun Niffelem you will find it on the right side a little over half way through the valley. Viscoius Oil Mobs are the mobs in there that look like greenish blobs moving around. You need to kill them and loot the Viscous Oil from them.

Once you have the 5 Viscous Oil you need you can head back to Dun Niffelem to turn in. You turn this back in to Hodir's Helm. This quest pays 13g23s and 250 rep with The Sons of Hodir. Another fast and easy quest although, like all the others, it can take awhile if everyone is trying to do it at once. You should plan on doing this one along with Spy Hunter and Feeding Arngrim as they are all in the same area.

Good Luck :)

Blowing Hodir's Horn

Blowing Hodir's Horn is a daily which earns rep with The Sons of Hodir. You need to be friendly with The Sons of Hodir to be able to pick up this quest. If you are not yet friendly with The Sons of Hodir check out this post Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's which will tell you how to get there.

You pick this quest up from Hodir's Horn in Dun Niffelem. You are given Hodir's Horn to use to complete this quest. The objective of this quest is to defeat 5 Niffelem Forefathers and 5 Restless Frostborn at Thunderfall, then blow Hodir's Horn over their corpses.

Thunderfall (71,49) is located northeast of where you pick up the quest in Dun Niffelem. You can't miss the Niffelem Forefathers, they are the giants walking around. The Restless Frostborn are the little guys walking around. The Restless Forstborn can be a pain as there are a lot of them and they are everywhere, you won't have any problem getting 5 of them. The giants are easy to pick out but, depending on how many people are doing it, it can take a little while to get 5.

Once you have killed either a Niffelem Forefather or Restless Forstborn you need to target the corpse then right click on Hodir's Horn in your inventory. Make sure to loot BEFORE you blow the horn as the corpse will disappear as soon as you blow it. You will see the spirit rise into the air and you will get credit for releasing one. I have one spot in my action bar that is hot keyed to my ` key and I put whatever quest item I need for the quest I am working on in it, it saves a lot of time.

Once you have credit for 5 of each you head back to Hodir's Horn and turn it in. This daily pays 13g23s and gives 250 rep with The Sons of Hodir. This is an easy quest and goes pretty quick when there are not a lot of people trying to do it at once. I live in the US and play on an Oceanic server so it is usually not too populated when I am on, this makes for less competition on the daily items.

Good Luck :)

Hot and Cold

This is one of The Sons of Hodir daily rep quests. You pick up Hot and Cold from the Anvil you helped recover from Fjorn's Anvil when you were building your rep up to friendly with The Sons of Hodir. This is a relatively easy, if time consuming, quest. It is really a 2 part quest.

The first thing you need to do is loot Essence of Ice off the corpses of Brittle Revenants that you kill at Frostfield Lake. Frostfield Lake (69,59) is located east of where you pick up the quest. You need to get 5 Essence of Ice which will enable you to get the 5 pieces of Frozen Iron Scrap you need. I strongly suggest you get at least 6 Essence of Ice before you go on to the next part of the quest due to ninja's and two people hitting the same node at the same time. A lot of times you will lose one for one reason or another and it is better to have a spare than to have to go back and farm another one.

Once you have 5 (6) Essence of Ice you want to head over to Fjorn's Anvil for the next part of the quest. The entrance to this is located at the southeast end of Frostfield Lake (73,62). There you are going to want to use the Essence of Ice on the Smoldering Scraps found around Fjorn's Anvil. This will allow you to loot the Frozen Iron Scraps from them. The way you use the Essence of Ice is to right click on it while you are standing near a Smouldering Scrap. Sometimes it will go to the Smouldering Scrap you are standing right on top of and sometimes it will fly off in a random direction to another Smouldering Scrap, it is a crap shoot. This is where the misunderstandings can come in and you can lose a Essence of Ice. This is why it is a good idea to have an extra one along.

Once you have the 5 Frozen Iron Scraps you need you can head back and turn it in at the Anvil. The reward for this quest is 13g,23s and 250 reputation.

Good Luck :)

Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth

I got the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth for Wranngar the other day. It's a huge mount that can carry myself plus 2 passengers for a total of 3 riders. It doesn't have vendors on board like the Reins of the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth but it is also 8,000 gold cheaper. For 8,000 gold I can live without the vendors :).

You get the Reins of the Grand Ice Mammoth from The Sons of Hodir. You can purchase it from Lillehoff, the Sons of Hodir Quartermaster, for 8,000 gold when you are exalted with them. He also has Reins of the Ice Mammoth for 850 gold at revered, 800 gold at exalted, some patterns and some nice inscriptions plus gear and weapons.

I thought it was pretty easy to get to exalted with The Sons of Hodir, I am exalted on both Gomorra and Wranngar. Everyone starts off hated with The Sons of Hodir, then you have to do a quest line to become friendly with them and unlock The Sons of Hodir daily's.

One of my earlier posts, Unlocking The Sons of Hodir Daily's, has all the information you need about that along with a complete list of the quests you will need to do to become friendly and unlock the daily's.
