Be prepared to do this quest over and over many times, and to be very frustrated with the people around you stealing your mobs.
I usually wait untill the slow hours untill setting foot there.

Once this particular quest becomes available, you can use it to your advantage to kill two birds with one stone.

Before you start killing the Winterfall Furbolgs, make certain you have done the Winterfall Activity quest. (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8464) Once you complete the quest, you will then be able to collect Winterfall Spirit Beads (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21383) for the Beads for Salfa quest (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8469).

This way, you shall be able to grind not only Wintersaber Trainer faction, but you can also grind Timbermaw faction as well with the bead turn-ins.

On a seperate note, if you are getting frustrated by the presence of people in or around the Winterfall camp, if they are of the same faction as yourself, try and see if you can get together in a single party. Unlike the meat drops, since you are farming for kill counts here, so long as as you are not in a raid every kill will count to the whole group.

However, if they are of the opposite faction there is one (maybe two) things you could do. First, you could either put up with them and try to tag mobs before they do. The second bit is a bit more evil and requires a lot of patience to get the ability to do this.

Just ignore the fact that it lists this as Horde only, this quest is available to both factions once they hit exalted with Timbermaw. It's called The Root of All Evil (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8481). It gives you a torch that you can use to summon an elite demon to that cave north of the Winterfall Village. The demon will then try and lay waste to anyone who is unlucky enough to get close to it. He'll make short work of most farmers, but (and I'm not completely certain on this) until you complete, drop, or fail the quest itself (or maybe log out or leave the area?), he won't despawn.

Though there is another quest to kill giants once you're honored with the Wintersaber faction, this quest is your meat and potatoes on this terrible grind. One thing to take note of: shamans are the rare spawns on this quest. If i'm the only one farming the village (late late night :P) I try to keep the bottom and middle floor clear of denwatchers and ursas so that shamans have room to spawn. If you ride up the mountain overlooking the village, there is a whole ridge of Ursas, so you need to maintain a supply of shamans to keep the pace up.

There are 2 patrols that can spawn as shamans as well, on top of the ridge and in front of the village. If they aren't a shaman, they are a denwatcher, so just take it out and hope for a shaman spawn next time you come back from turning in.

The runners that come through the village do not aggro by proximity but they are social atleast to the chief, so be careful.

There are chests that spawn at both the houses on the edges of the upperlevel, and both the houses at the edge of the bottom level. I've pulled greens, blues, etc out of them, but usually get ores, bars, food, herbs, water, etc :P Some of the grinders I quested with completely ignored the chests to save time doing the quest; whatever floats your boat eh? : )

There is a named rare spawn thats also a good snag for greens; he spawns near the chief: http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=10199

When running back to the Quest NPC to turn this quest in, you want to have all your riding speed gear on and basically make a bee-line over the mountain ridges, avoiding mobs because they will knock you off your mount.

You can eventually get very fast at this quest, especially if you can maintain a spawn of shamans up. Grouping with people, whether or not they are doing the quest, can help a lot as well.

There used to be a bug where you would get credit for quest kills halfway across the map of winterspring, but that was fixed quite some time ago : P

Just completed the quest as a Gnome (currently Honored) and received 75 rep for the quest turn-in.

Commentaire de 54334

I've been farming these guys for 35 minutes and haven't got 1 meat. Are the drop rates really this horrible?

Commentaire de 49663

On the 2.3 PTR this quest now gives 250 rep

Commentaire de 125087

250 rep / 275 for a human.

kill 10 npc. say thats 1 minute each so 10 minutes.
then you get to run back and forth to the trainer and the furbolgs. lets say a 5 minute round trip(with 75 riding skilll)

15 minutes given to each quest.(unless a lvl 60 with 75 riding wants to test this, no carrot,spurs,or glove enchant as not everybody will have any/all of those)

4 quests per hour. would have been hell at 50 rep per quest.

say you do this for 10 hours a day thats 40 a day. take just under 4 days to do it.(not accounting for the 1500 rep already needed to pick up this quest.

lvl 58s can pick up the meat quest which is prolly even longer since its not 100% drop rate. but you have to be 60 to pick up this one and the elites one.

Commentaire de 125087

do Ursa and Shaman offer any rep for killing them?

Commentaire de 151385

I've actually made qutie a bit of cash off the Firewaters that drop. People really like the size increase :)

Currently being 1010/12000 into honored here are my tips for this quest. You MUST be alliance to do these quests.

The Wintersaber Trainers are located in Northern Winterspring and pretty much the point of grinding reputation with them is solely to get Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber. Now, pre-BC this mount was extremely hard to get due to the little amount of reputation you would get per quest turn in thus the grind was highly not worth it. Since Burning Crusade came out the reputation has been increased however the mount is still uncommon since people don't find the worth of the grind.

To get started you must find Rivern Frostwind (Note: he is literally on top of the giant rock at (49,9). You can get up to him from the back of the rock).

Outline of the reputation levels:

Frostsaber Provisions
1500/3000 Reputation: Winterfall Intrusion

Overview of the quests:

Frostsaber Provisions
Repuation: 250 (Humans: 275)
For this quest you need to collect:

Shardtooth Meat (5)
Chillwind Meat (5)

This quest seems pretty straight forward. I suggest killing Elder Shardtooth and Chillwind Ravager to get these meats. I find a good place to farm these is around (58,19). They have about a 30% drop rate.

Winterfall Intrusion
This quest becomes unlocked at 1500/3000 Neutral
Repuation: 250 (Humans: 275)
For this quest you need to slay:

Winterfall Shaman (5)
Winterfall Ursa (5)

This quest you need to head down to the Winterfall Village (67,36). If you're finding a lack of Winterfall Ursa look on the hill behind the camp. Shamans are spawned inside the camp. If you see a lack of them kill what's in there and some will spawn. There is always a shaman with High Chief Winterfall.

Rampaging Giants (Group)
This quest becomes unlocked at Honored
Repuation: 350 (Humans: 385)
For this quest you need to slay:

Frostmaul Giant (4)
Frostmaul Preserver (4)

This quest you need to head down to the Frostwhisper Gorge (62,67). And ramp down can be found at (59,64). These have a good spawn rate, pretty evenly mixed. If someone else if farming them you can hear back up and across the bridge to about (62,73) and you'll find more there. These are 60 elites however they are pretty easy to kill (me being a 0,21,40 destro warlock). The only downside to this quest is really the walk.

Tips for farming:

It's always nice to have a friend. This is a really boring grind so it's nice to have someone to do it with.
Riding Crop or Skybreaker Whip are worth it for this grind
Except for the elites, you can pull a few of these a time as a 70 and be okay.
Once you hit honored and you unlock Rampaging Giants I would only do that and Winterfall Intrusion. The ride is longer but not having to farm the meat with the bad drop rate and the bonus repuation is worth it if you can take the elites.
Don't get discouraged. It seems like it's gonna take forever but it's not as bad as it seems. In one day I'm a bit into honored.

Some math:

Neutral -> Friendly:

Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions:
12 trips ---- Humans: 11 trips
Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and adding Winterfall Intrusion at (1500/3000):
9 trips --- Humans: 9 (there'll be a bit of leftover)

Friendly -> Honored

Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions or Winterfall Intrusion:
24 trips ---- Humans: 22 trips
Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and Winterfall Intrusion:
12 trips --- Humans: 11

Honored -> Revered

Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions or Winterfall Intrusion:
48 trips ---- Humans: 44 trips
Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and Winterfall Intrusion:
24 trips --- Humans: 22
Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions or Winterfall Intrusion and Rampaging Giants:
20 trips --- Humans: 19
Repeating: Frostsaber Provisions and Winterfall Intrusion and Rampaging Giants:
15 trips --- Humans: 13

Revered -> Exalted (Same order as above)

84 trips --- Humans: 77
42 trips --- Humans: 39
35 trips --- Humans: 32
25 trips --- Humans: 23

Good luck all!

opps wrong quest lol. But to talk about this one, This is an easy quest. it saves A LOT of time. this one you just need to kill 10 (5 for each type) and thats fast. the previous quest you needed to kill the monster and try and get 10 meats ( 5 from each) with a really low drop rate that you normally kill alot more than 10. it gives you the same amount of rep as the last one also. and srry about the last post of mine on this lol. : )

Commentaire de Seafog

Having completed this grind now, I see a few missing details on the spawn points. Here is how the spawns really work so you can maximise shaman spawns. Basically, if it CAN spawn as a shaman, but it hasn't, kill it. There are plenty of guaranteed ursa up top. Waiting for shaman repops is very boring, you WILL have to wait fairly regularly if you don't do this and 'thinning' the herd is easy at 70.

Outside the wall: All den watchers except one. The exception can spawn as a shaman or a den watcher. This is the only one that roams and it will path across the road. Learn to recognize its path and kill it if appropriate.

Lower level: The ones around the huts can spawn as den watchers or shamans. So kill any den watchers that spawn here. There are a few well away from the huts, they only spawn as den watchers so you can ignore them.

Middle level: There are 7 spawn points here. They are either shaman or ursa, so kill any ursa that pop.

Cave: The chief and a shaman spawn here, and occasionally a rare spawn furbolg. Never anything else.

Hilltop level: These are always ursa except for one. The exception is either a den watcher or a shaman. The exception is also the only roamer up here and is generally easy to spot. Kill it if appropriate.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but I'd recommend that any shamans doing this grind set your hearth to Everlook and get a Glyph of Astral Recall. With the glyph you get a total of 10 hearths per hour including your hearthstone, which will obviously save you quite a bit of time in the long run.

Commentaire de 484004

This is truly a grind. Therefore, in the interest of efficiency, I clocked myself after receiving the Winterfall Intrusion quest and having some practice at making the runs.

It took me 23 minutes to complete both the Sabertooth Provisions and the Winterfall Intrusion quests roundtrip from Rivern Frostwind and back with a very short stop at Everlook (which you are right next to anyway after doing Winterfall) to clear out my inventory and do minor repairs at the armor repair shop.

It took me 11 minutes roundtrip (with no stop at Everlook) to go straight to Winterfall and complete that quest and run back to Rivern.

Moral of the story: some folks are saying to stop doing the provision quest once you get Winterfall Intrusion to be more efficient on time. However, this doesn't actually play out in reality. It will take you just as long if you concentrate on just Winterfall, and Winterfall is also often farmed, which means you may run into down time waiting for things to respawn (while you can always find plenty of bears and chimeras).

That being said, it will take 87 trips total to reach Exalted status (if you do not include Rampaging Giants). I am doing this as a level 61 Frost Mage and don't think I can kill the giants solo, although I haven't tried since a few levels ago. Let's assume you're a little quicker than me and can do the provision run in 10 minutes or the combo run in 20 minutes. Doing the math, you will spend:

14.5 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE just to get a cool looking mount that doesn't even run slightly faster. We are truly geeks.

So after reading that this quest becomes available at 1500/3000, I decided to check out what my rep was at with them. I hit exalted with the Timbermaw about 2 weeks ago and am currently sitting at 550/3000 (still Neutral) with the Wintersabers and this quest is now available to me. You DO NOT have to be 1500/3000, just exalted with Timbermaw to open the quest.

These are my timings for this quest and the provisions quest:

From inn in Wintergrasp, via Winterfall village and then pick up the meat: 10 minutes.
This can be done once every 30 minutes via HS.

Full round, both quests, stone to stone: 15 minutes (2k rep/hour)

Doing just the provisions quest: 7-8 minutes so about the same rep per hour as a full round, but without bonus rep for Timbermaw hold.

This is a level 80 titans grip warrior, so I have to get close to the mob but oneshot everything.

One timesaver I use is that I am an engineer so I jump off the cliff and parachute down to land on the other side of the glade, shave off probably 10-15 seconds and with all these runs, that will amount to something.

Theoretical timings:
HS to Everlook - 1st run 10 minutes 500 rep
Make a full run - 500 rep 15 minutes
Do only provisions - 250 rep 8 minutes
repeat
This way you get 1250 rep every 33 minutes (about 2250 rep/hr) and can sell and mail off stuff.

HS to everlook - 10 min 500 rep
2 full runs: 1000 rep 30 minutes
repeat
That is 1500 rep in 40 minutes or 2250 rep per hour.

Basically, keep doing full runs especially if you need the Timbermaw hold rep.

This is much easier now as of 4.0.3a

Every mob in the village is either a Shaman or an Ursa, and there are a few more mob spawns about too.

Commentaire de 769519

If you didn't know, there are additional mobs on the snowy hills behind the village. If you are alone in the village they should help you finish the quest without waiting for respawns

This quest seems to be gone as of May 2012 - I'm doing the wintersaber mount daily without ever seeing this quest offered. Maybe it should be marked obsolete?

Commentaire de Vycount

This quest, like Rampaging Giants, and Frostsaber Provisions, are no longer offered by the Wintersaber Trainer to obtain rep. You now typically get the rep and the mount by doing the quest They Grow Up So Fast, which takes 20 days.

However, as others have noted you do not NEED to do They Grow Up So Fast to get the rep or the mount. If you are able to get exalted, even before you finish that quest and get 20 whiskers, you will be able to buy the mount.

While this quest isn't offered by the NPC anymore, you CAN still turn it in to him and get the 250/275 rep. I am currently going through revered my doing both the daily whiskers as well as all the 3 previous rep grind quests. Simply share the quests with a friend, turn them in to the NPC, get your friend to share them back, and repeat. you are able to grind the rep the old fashioned way along side the new method. This means that, depending on how much you want to farm, you can get the mount in much shorter than the now standard 20 days.

Two caveats, 1) you have to find someone who has the old quests in their logs still (I did because I left wow in the middle of the old rep grind and still had them upon my return); and 2) the friend you share the quests with should be at least honored with Wintersaber themselves in order to share all three quests, as each of the 3 old quest has a different rep requirement (neutral, friendly, honored) to accept.

Update Edit: While I currently have 11 whiskers and the new quest remains unfinished for me, I have successfully obtained exalted with Wintersaber trainers, purchased the reins for 70g (with guild perk), and got the achievement utilizing the above method of doing both the old and new quests.
