Ok, Fellow Hunters this quest is a bit of a pain, but is easy if you read up on all the tactics.

So im going to try and help you lot.

Once you start the Quest you have 4 Demons to slay.

When looking for the Demons, make sure you are Tracking Demonoids and not humans, Make's it a little easier to find them as they walk around the areas because it can be a pain to find them.
-----------------------
Demon Name: Klinfran the Crazed
Location: Burning Steppes - Normally on the West Side.

This guy is about Patience. Make sure you have Stam / Int buffs. And take along a few mana pots and healing pots. If you loose all your mana you going to fail this quest!

Now there is a couple of ways you can do this, most people recommend Kiting him, although I don't. If you kite you run the risk of bumping into other players or mobs. Which will make life a bit hard.

Ok, Tactics.
Every 15 Seconds Klifran goes into a State of Frenzy Where he will deal allot of dmg. Use Scorpid Sting ( Highest Rank ) - This will take away his Frenzy once fired at him. (Check buffs) Do NOT Fire this before 15 seconds after the 1st Frenzy other wise it wont work. Once Applied he will deal 1 dmg every hit for the next 15 seconds.

So 1st, As you walk up to him, Fire Scorpid Sting (And make sure it hits), then go melee on him, try not to use all of your mana because you will need it. Try to count to about 10 - 13 seconds after you fired the 1st shot then when you get to 10 - 13 seconds hit him with wingclip and get away from him, this will slow him down and give you enough time to get range.

Once at range, Fire the next Scorpid Sting then repeat what you just did. Keep doing this until you kill him. That's it.

This to be aware of: After you apply WingClip there is a chance he can daze you, so be ready to fire scatter shot or use Warstomp to slow him down so you can get range.

Demon Name: Simone
Location: Un'Goro Crater - Normally South West of Fire Plume Ridge.

Pretty easy this one. There is a woman with a Felhound.
Make sure you have the Stam and Int buffs again.

Tactics: Lay and Ice Trap, Aimed Shot the Demon (Simone), Then Concussive Shot, then ViperSting (To Silence her) and wait for the demon to get trapped in the Ice Trap. Then its pretty much about Melee again on the demon. Watch for her Lightning and try to interupt this with Scatter shot.

Once she is dead, you can get help from friends to take the demon down. This will not affect the quest.

-----------------------
Demon Name: Solenor (Nelson the Nice)
Location: Silithus - Normally around 25,79.

Bring along some friends (And a Warlock) to help keep the area clean from mobs. Before you start (Around 25,79) Clear ALL the mobs from the area, this will buy you some valued time.

Tactics:
Before you start this demon, Get the Warlock to Duel you. Tell them to Put Curse of Recklessness on you (This will make you immune to fear). Also, take some Shadow Prot Pots, and make sure you have every buff possible :p

Start:
Apply Hunters Mark to him. Start the fight with Arcane Shot or Multishot, When he runs towards you Hit him with WingClip (Rank3) This stuns him so he cant move. Get max range and open fire. Now beware of the beetles that will follow you around (Try to go in a Circle at all times around him when he is stuck) No need to worry about the 1st few beetles (Multishot will help to kill the beetles). Carry on with Ranged DPS until the stun breaks, he will approach you, hit him with WingClip again, maybe use Scatter Shot before he gets to you. When there is allot of Beetles Wait until they are all together and Fire Volley onto them right after getting into ranged position. They have relatively low life and are easy to kill. Although they will cause allot of dmg to you. and stun you.

Demon Name: Artorius
Location: Winterspring - Start the Kite at 58,12, Then go South.

This is a simple Kite, Take along some friends (On lvl 60+ Mounts) to take away agro in your path.

Tactics:
Basically, keep this guy at max range ALL THE TIME. Start off with a Aimedshot then use SerpantSting on him, SerpantSting will stack and cause allot of dmg to him, (this is how he dies). Start at the top of the hill and Run down it, when you get to the bottom, take a right and run on the left side of Everlook (The Town) By then you should be dead. If not keep kiting.

-----------------------
Hope this helps, and as someone has already said, you can go to http://www.tkasomething.com/avatarfaq.php < This will give an in-depth lesson on how to take these Demons down.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck :)

With the new patch talents, it makes the quest a lot easier for marksman spec hunters. Your dps is increased majorly if you spec the correct way, thus making the demons a lot easier to kill. As he said though, bring pots and whatever buffs you can. The sooner you finish the quest, the sooner you get your wonderful weapons.

A little-known fact - after you spawn any of the demons, you can be partied with another hunter, let THAT hunter kill the demon for you while you don't touch it, and if you have loot on Free For All, you can still loot the head (not sure if you can loot multiple heads)

Комментарий от 60907

So in order to do this quest you have to go to MC?

How the heck would somone actually find the quest ender for this quest without wowhead?
"Find the owner of the Ancient Petrified Leaf. Good luck; it's a big world."

Комментарий от 267194

Can this be attainable at level 55 or above?

Комментарий от Dantarahma

just as an FYI for ppl going for loremaster....none of the quests count.

not the leaf not the demon killing the black sinew or the blue sinew.

Комментарий от 94685

just wondering if this item still drops?

Комментарий от 360603

Being a level 78 hunter at the moment of writing this, I also can confirm that the whole quest chain around Ancient Petrified Leaf is still active in Patch 3.3. I specifically went for it to Majordomo Executus yesterday and was lucky to get it out of his Cache at the very first kill.

That done, I went to Vatrus the Ancient, one of the three old trees in Felwood. Turning in this quest then will give access to one new quests from each tree.
(Advise: you will have to dismount to be able to turn it in/see the question mark!)

Ancient Sinew Wrapped Lamina
This quest requires a Mature Blue Dragon Sinew which can be bought from the Auction House or be looted from either Azuregos or blue elite dragonkin in Winterspring.

Reward: Ancient Sinew Wrapped Lamina (18-slot Quiver)
Stave of the Ancients
Here you have to kill four level 60 elite demons: Simone in Ungoro Crater, Solenor/Nelson in Silithus, Artorius in Winterspring and Kilfran/Franklin in the Burning Steppes. (Advise: do not engage them with your pet. This will result in the demons fleeing from you and despawning for good half an hour. Just do it solo.).

Reward: Ancient Rune Etched Stave
A Proper String
After you accepted the quest you will simply have to head to the Burning Steppes (where you have to go for the other kill quest anyhow) and kill any black dragonkin there to acquire the Mature Black Dragon Sinew. This is a 100% drop, the tooltip will provide this information as well. It is said to still drop from Onyxia as well, though it seems fairly more complicated than going solo to the 'steppes.

Reward: Enchanted Black Dragon Sinew + Achievement: Onyxia (Level 60)

Combining the Ancient Rune Etched Stave with the Enchanted Black Dragon Sinew will ultimately give you the famous Rhok'delar, Longbow of the Ancient Keepers.

FURTHERMORE, Vatrus will give you Lok'delar, Stave of the Ancient Keepers once you talk to him again. There will be no further question mark, you simply have to talk to him again.

Congratulations, hunter!

Just happened to pick up this leaf today when running around Molten Core helping some players get the achievement.

Figured that at lvl 80 it would/should be a piece of cake. Only one little problem. Tried Artorius in Winterspring first. He despawned as soon as I hit him. Thought it was because I was in a group (other player did not hit him) . Waited around for him to respawn and same thing happened. Guess it is not going to work for a lvl 80.

Edit - Went back, unequipped all weapons and then beat Artorius. Will try the same thing on the other three.

Killed Simone and her friend in Ungor without weapons.
Got tired of slapping them around until they gave up so with Solenor/Nelson in Silithus I started on him without weapons but the bugs were getting to me so equipped and killed him.
Kilfran/Franklin in the Burning Steppes I engaged with weapons equipped and all was fine.

Did you have your pet out?

I tried it last week after also getting it as an ICC10/25 geared hunter.

I engaged Artorius with no bow/sword equiped. Pet was still out, so I quickly put him on passive. I'm not sure if itwas that or the no-weapons, but then he went down easily.

The other tree I took without pet out and without sword but with Zodd's bow.

Too bad you cannot repeat it, else we could have determined what it exactely is.

Anyway, just put your pet in and fight him with fistst. They are easy enough and that the fight takes a bit longer is actually fun so you can see what their abilities are.

hard :(

Комментарий от brionl

Still in patch 4.0.1, will most likely be removed with 4.0.3.

As long as you don't have your pet out, these go down in about 10-30 seconds. Wing Clip, disengage, a couple of arcane shots, and concussive shots, and they are dead.

Комментарий от 76929

Your pet will despawn him.

Комментарий от 632851

I completed this quest line on my lvl 65 hunter a few days ago.
Granted she is epic complete with her gear full dragnstalkers kit which helped
also carries 2 epic 1 handed axes.

Just to confirm this must be completed solo!
No pet at all as the they will de spawn,
No help from anyone else,
Its the only way you will be able to complete this quest.

The hardest 1 is the one in Burning Stepps but if you read the guides posted
and use the advice its relativly easy.

Happy Hunting and gratz on your epic bow ! its a rather nice bow btw :)

I just finished the whole questline at level 60 (turned off XP just to be able to do this...) and honestly it's a cakewalk in 4.0.1 as long as you spec for it. My leveling spec was Beastmaster, so naturally I was nothing but a greasy smear the first couple times I tried it. Then I went back to Org and dual-specced into a Survival, solo/kiting spec. After respeccing I got Arturious and Klinfran in 3 tries each, and one-shot Solenor and Simone. http://www.wowhead.com/talent#cZZhbGfRGbo was the spec I used. In hindsight, I probably should have put the points from Counterattack and Entrapment into some combination of Toxicology and Noxious Stings.

The trick to the demons now is 1) NEVER let them get in melee range, 2) Distracting Shot on cooldown, 3) MORE DOTS!, 4) Traps on cooldown.

With Disengage not available at 60, at least 2 of the demons immune to Counterattack (Arturious & Klinfran, I never tried it on Solenor/Simone), and their run speed faster than Cheetah, if the demons get to you, it's over.

Distracting shot is now absolutely free, can be used on the run, and will keep the demon glued to you while you wait for your focus to regen. Try to spread it between your actual shots to reduce the chance of your demon evading.

The majority of my damage on the demons was from Serpent Sting and Explosive Shot. (One of the demons kept removing my Serpent Sting, though; I think it was Franklin? Don't remember.) DoTs are your highest damage per focus abilities, and you want to conserve your focus to prevent evasion. If you just unload at the beginning, you're going to go OOF quickly and spend too long running without shooting, causing them to evade and reset.

Because DoTs are good and focus is scarce, Lock and Load is amazing. Even if you aren't in danger of being caught, try to trap on cooldown for more Lock and Load procs. Also, I think this was a bug, but my Ice Trap was not proccing Lock & Load. None of the demons were immune to Freezing Trap, though, so I stuck to that and it all worked out OK.

By the way, I pulled Simone by using Wyvern Sting on Precious, and oddly the felhound never aggroed on me. I rode past the place where I had left her on my way back to the flight point, and she was just standing there, still in demon form, not CCed at all. I hope some poor leveling Alliance player finds her!

For reference, in addition to my vanilla gear I was wearing heirlooms (PVP gun, PVP daggers, PVP shoulders, PVE chest) and 2 blues from Hellfire Ramps (ungemmed). None of my gear was enchanted.

Is this (and the quests it triggers) being removed with Cataclysm?

Комментарий от Musicman835

If the item doesnt the quest most likely wont be completable the said the mobs are moving. And it pisses me off because i've soloed it for 6 weeks now and have gotten nothing but the stupid eye of divinity.

Комментарий от Mojorx

Комментарий от 594074

Neither this item, nor the Eye of Divinity dropped tonight 11/23 from the chest.

Комментарий от 715053

After The Shattering, the whole quest chain has been removed: this Leaf, and all the quest rewards, are currently unobtainable.

Personally, I hope they bring it back.

Комментарий от Ozlem

This item is no more since the shattering.

RE: Blue Post

"Azeroth is on the eve of a dramatic transformation, and as World of Warcraft changes, sometimes the old must go to make way for the new. Since the world elements that support them will be gone, many aging quests will exist only in the mists of the past.

In particular, there's been some confusion regarding lower-level class specific quests that can no longer be completed. Never fear: class mounts and abilities remain available via class trainers, even though the quests associated with them are no longer available. Also, there are several low and mid-level weapons, trinkets and robes that were once awarded via class specific quests which are no longer available and their associated quests have been removed.

We are looking forward to offering new quests, quest lines and rewards as players level through World of Warcraft: Cataclysm instead. For example, we plan a level 20 dungeon based quest which will offer weapon rewards appropriate to all classes. There will also be a similar level 50 dungeon quest which has a headpiece reward. "

Id say one of the best chain q's in the game when it was available! <3

Комментарий от theconfessor

If Blizzard was all ready prepared (in broad strokes) to put out transmog when cata was released, I can see them wanting to remove these epic (but now easily solo'd) class quests. Things like rhok'delar, Benediction/Anathema. Though this is along the same "wth blizz" lines as not allowing the HWL/GFM lvl60 pvp gear to be transmogged by those who did not first earn HWL/GFM.

Комментарий от Volleynova

I was the most excited Hunter in the game upon finally getting the leaf, I remember the Priest epic kept dropping over and over, week by week, but alas it was worth the wait.
