Well this guy was stuck for me, I made a report in game and the GM whispered me saying that these mobs get regularly reset in case they get stuck so I should check back later, I was a bit miffed i couldn't get my ring sooner but meh

Commentaire de kreghx

Tried this today with a party of two others, all mid 30s. We start nicely but then the elite Deepstrider Giant comes walking across the road and kills off the caravan. We almost kill him but then get ganked by some Alliance who decided we were easy targets, who then kill the Giant who has almost no life left. Failed quest, no Giant loot and one very pissed off group, priceless.

Commentaire de 10315

We had the exactly opposite thing happen to us - ie with hordes ganking our group but without the giant ... still managed to finish it afterwards though.

Commentaire de mrpanda

done easy as a 35 shaman

Commentaire de shamyramy

Easily solo'd as a 32 Druid.

Commentaire de 36073

This quest is available as the caravan makes its way south from Kormek's Hut along the road.

Commentaire de monoxide0184

soloed pretty easily as a 32 rogue. as long as you help out killing the spawns, you can't go too wrong with this one. both the goblins and kodo's help you kill 'em, so really, you only have to worry about 1 of the 4 in each spawn at once.

There is also another escort quest by the gelkis village. lvl 38 quest

Commentaire de Zelgadiss

Anyone having trouble finding these guys? Anyone know the coords at which they stop and yell for bodyguards?

Commentaire de Lbowrm

3300 xp with 2.3

Commentaire de Skorpio

This is the first of two quests on the caravan trade route between Kormek's Hut and the Gelkis Village. It is also the easier of the two. After returning to Kormek's Hut, the caravan sets up shop and rests for 10 minutes. Then it departs headed east along the road and stops just north of the Kolkar Village. At this point the quest becomes available for only 4 minutes. If it is not recieved within that period, the caravan continues south along the road and then west straight to the Gelkis Village. You have to then wait for the caravan to complete it's circut before you can pick up the quest (which takes approx. 40-60 minutes! depending on the quests being picked up or not along the way)

For the quest, you are attacked by three seperate mobs as you pass the Kolkar Village heading south. All three mobs spawn the same units and they are as follows :

2 Kolkar Ambushers (level 34-35)
2 Kolkar Waylayers (level 33-34)

After the third mob is defeated, the quest objective is completed and you can head directly to Scrabblescrew's Camp to recieve your reward.

This quest starts in two places, once from Mannoroc Coven, and once from Kormek's Hut. Can it be done twice, once from each end?

Commentaire de Rattja

This quest is easy.. up untill you see that bastard Deepstrider (38 elite) comes walking up the road and starts to maul down the caravan... yey..

Commentaire de 15173

This quest yielded 3300 XP for me at level 40.

Commentaire de Balzac

Quest started around 66.5,37.5.
The caravan seems to be there around hour+37min and stays there a short while.
Grants +1 to Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Commentaire de 68528

Quest was rather severely foiled by a Deepstrider Giant joining the Kolkar at one of the spawn points... the Kodos CAN tank these guys, especially if you're careful about agro and/or can heal. Unfortunately, only one kodo and the caravan master lived so it was still a failed quest

Commentaire de Schnoodledorfer

This is the first of two quests on the caravan trade route between Kormek's Hut and the Gelkis Village. It is also the easier of the two.

It is the easiest, but it's not necessarily the first. I did the other one first..

Each time there is an ambush, the caravan pauses and 2 Kolkars (one Ambusher and one Waylayer) spawn in front of the caravan and 2 spawn behind it. After the third ambush, the caravan continues a little futher and pauses again and the quest completes.

I don't know why juancho mentions the Kolkar Windchasers a few comments above. If you don't aggro them, they won't attack. They have nothing to do with the quest. The mobs in the area, other than the ones that spawn specifically for the quest, do not attack the caravan.

Commentaire de darkwarrior42

Note that the goblin that ends this quest is allied with Ratched. if you're doing this quest as a high level character for loremaster, make sure you aren't hated with ratched (because you decided to grind out Bloodsail Rep and haven't built your gobling rep back up, for instance) or you can't turn this quest in.

Commentaire de Shabbat

Easily done as lvl 33 prot warrior :)

Commentaire de 459758

It's not fair to meet a level 40 Elite Gigant while escorting Gork Gizelton and his caravan!
IT WAS NOT FAIR! ..sigh...

Commentaire de 496052

Seems to be bugged for me as of patch 3.3
The NPCs despawn after having defeaten the final wave of attackers, thus failing the quest.
Had this with bothBodyguard For Hire and the other quest Gizelton gives you, Gizelton Caravan.^
Can anyone confirm this quest is bugged?

Commentaire de 533066

This quest does not seem to decrease your Bloodsail Buccaneers reputation (at 80, Hostile.)

Commentaire de 533834

So, For Clarification: for those of us without coordinate map mods.

This Quest : On engage : gardes du corps (Body Guard for Hire), The Starting Location is at Kormek's Hut. next to the Kolkar Village Centaurs.

and

This Quest : La caravane de Gizelton (Gizelton Caravan), The Starting Location is next to the Gelkis Village Centaurs.

Am I correct in this?

Commentaire de Animexlife

I waited 45 mins, then he ran by me, and onto the kormeks hut, its now 1 hour after I started waiting, and he's still not back.

Commentaire de 358663

Here is a timeline of the caravan's northbound journey, hopefully it helps somebody out. I would estimate it takes about an hour for him to make a round trip.

(10 Minutes) Caravan waits by Gelkis Village

Rigger Gizelton says: Time for the Gizleton Caravan to head on out! We'll be back soon but if you cannot wait, head north to Kormek's Hut. We open shop in about an hour.

(1 Minute) Caravan travels to the entrance to Mannoroc Coven

Rigger Gizelton yells: This is Rigger Gizelton asking for assistance escorting my caravan past Mannoroc Coven. I'm on the road east of Shadowprey village.

Caravan heads out through Mannoroc Coven immediately after accepting quest

(19 Minutes) Complete quest, caravan starts to run from East side of Mannoroc Coven to Kormek's Hut

(10 Minutes) Caravan waits by Kormek's Hut

Cork Gizelton says: So sorry to leave a customer but we have places to go and people to swindle. We will be back sometime later today. Good-bye!

(1.5 Minutes) Caravan travels from Kormek's Hut to North side of Kolkar Village

Cork Gizelton yells: I am looking for some bodyguards that would like to protect the Gizelton Caravan. We are stopped on the road east of Kormek's Hut, north of Kolkar Centaur Village.

Caravan sets off south through Kolkar Village

Cork Gizelton says: Blast those stupid centaurs! Sigh - well, it seems you kept your bargain. Up the road you shall find Smeed Scrabblescrew, he has your money.

Commentaire de cane

I can't start this quest on my lev 80. I did it before the patch so if you already did this quest prior to cata then i don't think its doable again.

Commentaire de imbam4g3

My adventures on Tuesday, March 1 2011:

22:34 Caravan arrived at 40, 79
+10 minutes
22:44 Caravan departs
+1 minute
22:45 Picked up Gizelton Caravan
failed the quest due to getting called away
+68 minutes
23:42 Caravan arrived at 40, 79
+10 minutes
22:52 Caravan departs
+1 minute
23:53 Picked up Gizelton Caravan
+10 minutes
00:03 Caravan arrived at 60, 38
+10 minutes
00:13 Caraven departs
+2 minutes
00:15 Picked up Bodyguard for Hire
+9 minutes
00:24 Caravan arrived at 40, 79

TL;DR:
I don't believe there is a fixed moment (i.e. always at 15 minutes to the hour) for this quest to become available.
The time for the caravan to complete a full round-trip looks to be about three quarters of an hour, assuming both escort quests are picked up immediately as they become available, otherwise it will take longer.

Commentaire de Blaix

If you have NPCScan, clear your cache and enter ID number 11625 located in Kalimdor named Cork Gizelton.

NPCScan went off when I was waiting for him at 66, 37. I followed him to 60, 38 and waited for roughly 10 minutes before he ran back to 66, 37 and I was offered the quest Bodyguard for Hire. We headed south and I killed a few crocolisk and a handful of kolkars that aggro from nearby and spawn from thin air. Quest complete at 67, 56 while we were walking. I turned in the quest with Smeed Scrabblescrew at 59, 63 (Reputation; Ratchet: 275, Gadgetzan/Everlook: 138, Booty Bay: 137) and immediately continued to follow Cork Gizelton south to 40, 79 where he rest for another 10 minutes before running north again.

He stopped at 45, 75 and I accepted Gizelton Caravan from Rigger Gizelton (goblin walking behind the first kodo) NOT Cork Gizelton. Doomwarders appear out of thin air as you head back north. The quest was marked complete at 55, 67 and I turned it in at 60, 61 to Smeed Scrabblescrew for (Reputation; Ratchet: 275, Gadgetzan/Everlook: 137, Booty Bay: 138).

The entirety of these quests took 40 minutes.

I completed this quest as an 85 non-human with Mr.Popularity guild perk. Before starting this quest I was Honored with Ratchet and Neutral with the rest of Steamwheedle Cartel.

Commentaire de Magnacus

For those of you wondering why so many would spend their time farming a ratchet quest in Desolace, there is a Rare shirt pattern: Rich Purple Shirt that drops off the summoned Kolkar Waylayers on this quest. These adds have the highest drop rate for the pattern and are farmed more often than the other mobs that may drop it.

Commentaire de Schnoodledorfer

ATM, the above map does not show the correct location to pick up the quest. The problem may be that Cork Gizelton moves. He will be at 66.6, 37.5 when the quest is offered. For those without coordinates, I marked it on this map. It's at the dot northeast of Cenarion Wildlands.

Commentaire de 921728

At this moment in the post 5.0.4 release environment, the Caravan is gone. The Gizelton boys and their vendor bot are missing and presumably AOL. Numerous posts in the Bliz forums confirms their mysterious disappearance, but as of yet no official reply from Bliz. Hopefully they'll make a return soon or their recipes found elsewhere.

Commentaire de Bratamoli

TL;DR: 2 Que-sts gone for good, 2 Ven-dors MIA, 3 re-ci-pes currently unobtainable,
and a touching letter from Game Master Evinderminus regarding Cork, Rigger, & the Kodos.
And Auction House Statistics for the recipes are now at the end of the comment.
PS - I intend to re-update when the recipes are once again available in-game.

The GM could not offer a time frame for the fix, but did refer to this as bug, and said the following:

"Part of the caravan was intentionally removed. Those two weren't supposed to be so it is something we are looking in to."

Enigmatic, I know, but it does suggest that these vendors may reappear with recipes intact."

"It looks like this has been removed from the game. I received a GM confirmation.

Hail and well met, Noshi!

A thousand apologies for not being able to speak with you in-game, friend. It's been a little crazy since we imported all of these Pandaren Monks into the office and they started chewing up all of our computer cords. :< Evinderminus, here! I just wanted to drop by and leave a little information concerning the Desolace Caravan NPCs.

Over time, the World of Warcraft changes. It was seen with the Shattering of the Cataclysm, and every major world event before. When such things happen, sometimes NPCs move on. This is the case with the NPCs you're looking for, sadly. They have gone to seek their fortune elsewhere, perhaps far beyond the oceans, away from this war-torn world. That you remember them is touching, however, and I will be sure to inform the Gizelton boys that you send your regards. We hope that you'll find other items in the world that are equally interesting, perhaps that remind you of these NPCs.

I sincerely hope that this experience with Blizzard Entertainment has been helpful! May you continue to enjoy your stay in our world!

Be well, strike true, and may your lewt be phat!

Cette quête n'est plus disponible dans le jeu.

Escorter la Caravane de Gizelton et l’aider à passer le village des centaures kolkars. Parler à Smeed, au camp de Fouillevis, pour toucher la récompense.

	Escorter la caravane de Gizelton au-delà du village des centaures kolkars (1)

Description

En temps normal, Gréeur et moi conduirions nos kodos à travers le territoire des centaures kolkars. Mais depuis quelque temps, nous entendons résonner les tambours de guerre des centaures. Comme il n’est jamais bon pour les affaires d’être mort, nous préférons ne pas nous aventurer plus avant sur leurs terres !

Si vous acceptiez de nous protéger, <classe>, et nous aidiez à passer au-delà du village des Kolkars, nous vous récompenserions en conséquence.

Cela ne représente pas une si grande distance ; vous devrez simplement sécuriser la caravane, puis vous pourrez toucher votre dû des mains de Smeed Fouillevis, qui est un peu plus bas sur la route. Nous faisons souvent des affaires ensemble.
