VERY annoying quest. Carry the torch up the mountain, turn Left at first small temple, turn Right at the second. The brazier is just outside the entrance to the main temple.

The problem is dodging the small tornadoes on the three 'open road' portions of the route. And watch out - they can hit from behind!

EDIT: When your torch gets blown out (and I can assure you it will take a few tries!), just hop on your mount and return to the quest giver. Ask her for another torch.

There are 2 sets of tornadoes in each section, one set goes up and down the path you have to run, with others going left and right across the path. The trick seems to be to follow a tornado going up and down the path, while dodging the ones going across. For the first part stay to your right and hug the hills. The other 2 parts will require a little more care. Good luck!

I must say its one of the worst quests i ever did. But you are lucky if you are mage, so you can blink through the tornados. You really need patience for this quest, otherwise you will fail it 10 times ....

Kommentar von dreamplayer

I had no problems with this quest. they may have nerfed it, or people are making it out to be such a big deal. The tornados move rather predictable, don't rush it, there is no time limit as far as I know.

Kommentar von Vigilance

Apparently the Ancient Pandaren Gods/Spirits enjoy the Olympics as much as normal folk, so much so that they are willing to host the 2012 Games at The Temple of the White Tiger.

I don't mind dailies but this quest was just an annoyance, basically the only challenging part was on the final Bridge before the Terrace where the fire is. As said basically just pick a Tornado, follow it then move left/right, follow it and eventually make a dash for the exit.

All the other areas are really simple and don't require you to follow a Tornado or anything.

Kommentar von balatro

The walls of wind are confusing me - sometimes they blow out the torch, sometimes they don't.

I can't figure out how to get through them consistently without them blowing it out - the tornadoes are much easier however.

Kommentar von Crimsonlord

I skipped a bit. I went around the first temple to the left of it. I then sticked to the edge of the cliff and chains, then i reached the bridge.

This is what i did in the bridge: bypassed the three tornadoes, found a good opportunity to go to the left, and then BAM! Up the stairs, then around the statue, then lit the brazier! ;D

Kommentar von duranox

ok after figuring out the perfect route this becomes a faceroll, run just outside of the fences the wind cannot hit you there

Kommentar von 445261

If you're having trouble and looking for a trick, Master Lao inside the 2nd of the two temples along your way is an inn keeper.

Set your hearth to him, pick up a torch, hearth, and you'll only have the last bridge/courtyard to cross before you're home free! Your torch stays lit through hearthing.

Of course... you can only use this trick once every 30 minutes, 15 with guild perks. Still, a nice way to get around most of the travel if you don't make a mistake on that last area.

Kommentar von Trucidare

I did this as a warlock. I used my Ausgebrannte Glyphe to bypass the wind (obviously after several maddening attempts.

Kommentar von 321618

The easiest way to navigate this quest, is to simply walk along the outside of the left chain railings. You can walk along the chains if you feel so inclined, but it is definitely the simplest way.

Kommentar von olania

While the tornadoes move predictably, you can't predict when you're going to get across the last bridge and the torch is randomly going to get blown out by nothing - no tornado, no wind wall, nothing.

So yeah, Blizzard can take this quest and stuff it. I'll just take a little longer to get exalted with the August Celestials.

Kommentar von Gnolp

Set your Hearthstone to the innkeeper at the temple before attempting -> Profit!

Kommentar von 1045664

~~If you're a monk, you can use Ausgebrannte Glyphe and fly to quest objective, making the quest incredibly easy, as you don't lose the torch.~~
Fixed as of 5.1.0.

Kommentar von jjanchan

Interestingly enough, mounting up will extinguish the torch, as will ghost wolf form as a shaman, however engineering rocket boots (Nitrobooster) do not extinguish it, nor does the Goblin racial Raketensprung....go figure =P

Warriors can heroic leap after the bridge to the steps. Then its smooth sailing.

Kommentar von Zedii

As engineer you can use Gnomish Gravity Well or Bottled Tornado to get some air and use Goblin GIider to fly across the bridge skipping the hardest part of the quest.

Kommentar von Moreofme

I found that trying to stick to the sides and find a safe spot to observe the patterns of the wind helped.

Kommentar von Clay98

Is there other quests after this one or is this one the only one?

Kommentar von neopatra

for locks with Glyph of Eye of Kilrogg it possible to do with minimum risk:

1. start by walking to the right side of the road, use eye of kilrogg to plant demonic circle ahead of you, in the right side of the road where the vortex don't come. then just walk safetly to the next building.

2. now use the left exit of the building, and when u exit the building then go to right side of the road, outside of the chains where the vortex exist. walk ahead and when u cant go ahead just use eye of kilrogg portal again. you won't encounter any vortex with this method. enter the next building.

3. now go to right exit of the building, there is a bridge there. send the eye of kilrogg to plant portal in the other right side of the bridge, outside of the chains where vortex don't come.
now use demonic gateway to pland gate way on the most far spot u can go on the bridge. wait for vortexes to pass from ur other gate and the go inside. the moment u fly inside, hit the teleport button, so u'll be teleported to your demonic circle the moment u finish the travel thru then gateway.

4. use Eye of kilrogg once to get farther right around the chain, then again to teleport from there to the right side of the stairs, on the banister.

thats all, u got there with minimum risk.

Kommentar von hotcore

This quest is horrible. Took me over an hour.

Kommentar von Lunyra

Tried this quest a zillion times now and i'm maximum frustrated.

So, screw it. I can skip a day of August Dailies.

Kommentar von starsofdestiny

You may call this cheating, but a warlock with Glyph of Eye of Killrogg + Demonic Circle makes this quest much easier.

Kommentar von kardanis

This quest is such a waste of time. Bliz must remove a couple of winds on the top of the bridge. The worse part is that it's a daily. Yuk!
The only suggestion is to learn how to avoid all that crap on the bridge and up.
Thanx guys for the trick with the left side chain rail:)
Probably will remove it from my rep grind list.

Kommentar von Nekrotik

I ran outside the chains to get through the first two temples. At the bridge, I waited until the tornado on the left came closest to me, then followed it by hugging the left side of the bridge until the other two passed me on my right. Then I just moved to the right side to finish off the bridge. When I got to the courtyard at the other end, I ran outside the chains again, around the right side, and then up the stairs to the brazier. Not that hard, just go outside the chains and when you get to the bridge, follow either the left one or the right one past the other two, then switch sides.

Kommentar von Volitar

This quest is a piece of trash. I hope it gets removed or nerfed.

Kommentar von raikage

For Druids, being in any non-caster form will not allow you to take a torch. Furthermore any shifting while having a torch will remove your torch and you will have to get a new one in caster form.

Kommentar von dragonsss

I dunno which guy at blizzard made this..but this daily is just load of crap, after doing it once I allready hated that daily once but never again

I can give a few pointers for the people struggling with this.

1. I used an Swiftness potion till the first tower so you can move quickly thru them, from the start you can go right and keep on walking till the first tower.

2. Now use the left exit of the building and go straight to the right walk outside the rings all the way up to the 2nd tower, this way youll never get hit at all.

3. this will be the tricky part, for me the best way of doing this was walking across the bridge and dont stop for the winds on the otherside, reason being that the winds on the bridge will hit you in the back and then its all over.

So I used here another potion again and walked over the bridge and thru the 2 winds that youll come accross at the otherside.

after that its just walking up the stairs and light the fire.

Good luck to you all

Kommentar von HelloKitty

I'm sure I'll be downrated for this, but I think that all of the "this quest is too hard -_-" comments are a load of crying. I came here looking for a way to speed this quest up, not read people upset that they play WoW in first person.

I fiveish-shotted this quest, the first 4 fails being testing ("can I use my broom mount?"-ish tests). I've found that Sprint also breaks the torch, which is just annoying.

Nitro Boosts DON'T extinguish the torch, though, and I would assume old school nitro boosts also don't if you happen to have a pair in your bags.

In addition, I haven't personally tested (because jeeves was on CD), but I assume the following two items will make this quest faster:

Essenz der Brise - because god knows it has no other usage. It'd actually speed you up a decent amount.

Bottled Tornado - Have not confirmed, and the comments are generally useless and unhelpful, but might work in conjunction with Goblingleiter for Engis.

Would appreciate any other tips on how to make this quest less tedious.

Kommentar von Argentus

For God's Sake, what is Blizzard trying to prove here?

I understand that the game must be challenging, demanding and require skills like concentration and coordination, but this quest nears absurdity IMHO because on top of all that there's a random part in it where your torch is blown off by ... bad luck!

After several "study attempts", 17 failures to be precise, I managed to finish it; here is what I learned as a Demo Warlock:

1 No mounts are possible.

2 Demonic Leap doesn't work as Metamorphosis kills the torch.

3 Eye of Kilrogg plus Demonic Circle is a very slow process and doesn't guarantee success due to the random occurrence of winds.

4 Demonic Gateway gets the same results of Eye of Kilrogg plus Demonic Circle.

5 As soon as you lose the torch you stop seeing tornadoes and wind, so stay in a safe place to learn the patterns.

So, so far I haven't found a way to speed the quest conclusion.

Tips Welcomed and/or; Can someone please, redesign this quest?

Kommentar von cerebrus

I did it this way as a mage. I tried this without glyph of blink.

Get torch, go up the first slope. Instead of heading left, go to the right exit. Blink past the winds. Avoid the little tornadoes (Brewmaster platform seems to be safe), get to the bridge. In the middle of the bridge is a large wind, you have to slowly creep to the edge of it, then blink diagonally across. This should put you right on the edge of the other side (graphics might show you inside it, I did not get my torch extinguished). One tornado that goes around the little square. On the left is a set of stairs, there is one tornado that goes up and down. Head into the room with the Hozen & Jinyu, wait for tornado to go down and left past you, run up the stairs. Two pandas duelling on the right, big tree in front. Two tornadoes will pass in front of you, wait till clear, then get to the ledge in front (past the tree). One tornado going left and right along ledge. Wait for it to be on the right, go around the ledge, light the brazier.

Kommentar von xzool

OMG! Blizzard made a difficult quest. Not everything in life is easy, accept the challenge and overcome it!

Kommentar von TeamGreen

Hunters may use Aspect of the Cheetah without extinguishing their torch.

Kommentar von 260709

The wise student knows the value of patience and discipline!

You can use various movement speed increases to dodge the tornadoes. They also have fairly predictable paths and you can give them a pretty wide berth.

The bridge gave me some trouble, but as far as I can tell, what they want you to do is wait until the wind dies down (wait until you see the clouds get thinner) and then move through quickly.

Kommentar von Drudatz

atm the way it is this quest is not doable as you CANT cross a bridge without getting the torch blown out.

Kommentar von 577327

~~Druids beware: cat- and stagform count as mounts.~~
This is no longer true!

Kommentar von 165964

The tornado at the end of the bridge can be a great annoyance. Nifty trick to get past it: keep right at the end and jump through the last set of vertical chains, then jump over the little fence chain and run up the temple :)

Kommentar von Sixpac

I highly recommend ... to just ignore this sloppy developed BS.

Kommentar von Muricas

The first 2 sections can be skipped to a degree by going off to the left-hand side.When you get to the first building, instead of going inside go to the left along the outside, then up the hill on the left side of the chain, being careful not to fall off.

When you get to the bridge, you're going to want to be on the left side by the end and exit to the right. There's a cloud that only paths back and forth across the bridge exit rather quickly, but it intersects with the far left bridge cloud at around the same time, so if you're on the left on the bridge just ahead of the cloud, you can quickly move right avoiding both the one behind you and the one pathing across the exit. There's a safe area on the far right after the bridge. After that, it's easy to avoid the final winds.

It took me around 6 frustrating tries to get this, but it's very do-able. I had an advantage as a priest with Inner Will, Body and Soul, and rocket boots, but they weren't really that necessary on my final, successful attempt.

Kommentar von Kailap

If you have engineering you can bypass the right bridge. What you need to do is activate nitro boots, then jump and use goblin slider at the same time. You will land at the edge of the tornado without the torch getting blowed out.

Kommentar von RichoDemus

What can make this quest 100 times harder is when there's 2 druids in flight form who just circles above and dives down and fears you on the bridge :( There is basically nothing you can do since flight form is so damn mobile and immune to most CCs

Kommentar von 733613

I don't think I've ever hated a quest as much as this. And Blizzard made me grind rep to unlock it the the first place. Here's a reward! A random insta-fail quest!

Kommentar von 305264

Took me several attempts to figure it out but this is how I did it.

1. On the road to the first pagoda just stick to the right, the tornadoes are slow and easy to dodge.
2. On the second road wait inside the pagoda for the torandoes that go all the way up and down the path. When the second one turns to go back up follow it up the path. There will be one tornado moving left and right you will have to dodge. Proceed ahead and go far right as soon as chains allow it bypassing the tornadoes coming back.
3. On the third road stop before the bridge and wait for the two on the left to come all the way back. When they move forward follow and move to the right side when they start to come back then back to the left after they pass. At the end of the bridge wait for the first tornado to move to the right and quickly go past it. Move all the way to the left and you should be in a safe zone. Once you move up on the left side there's only one more tornado before the stairs. Wait for it to move and you're in the clear. Run up the steps and boom, quest done.

I believe this is the way the developers intended people to do this quest and very easy once you get the pattern down.

Kommentar von Euphemia

Doing this as a rogue (get Shadowstep in T4 in your talent tree), get yourself to the last "tricky" part on the bridge. There is a wandering vendor, Gefülltes Fläschchen, whom you can target and use shadowstep to get to just as the winds pass by him, then simply walk/run/sprint to the end of the bridge and move on before the winds on the bridge come back.
Beware of the wind going back and forth at the exit of the bridge though...
The vendor seems to do regular "walks" back and forth with his turnpoint being at the end of the bridge where you start crossing it with your torch.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Rizzatto

Obviously, falling into the water under the bridge also puts out the torch. Scared the %^&* out of me while I was falling, too.

Ok everyone, I have FINALLY conquered this one - THE most annoying quest EVER in the history of WoW!

* the first bit is easy, after going up the hill..
* go up to the first temple and go round the OUTSIDE to the left
* then go up the OUTSIDE of the chain link on the left
* at the top go out of the temple to the right
* (this bit is touch and go), just follow the tornado on the right as it goes back up and swerve to the left to avoid the other two. Stand and watch them for a minute to see what they do.
* just before you get to the very end of the bridge, go to the right OUTSIDE the chain link as you did before further down
* go round about 2 or 3 pillars and then jump in,
* go round the back of the gong
* dash across to the stairs (watch out for a tornado) and then up to the brazier

Good luck everyone, hope this helps and prevents you from losing your minds! x

Kommentar von Ydrisselle

I think this quest can be fun, and is not really hard (after the bridge the third stage is a bit tricky, that's right). Except if you are on a PvP realm and 1-3 enemies are stunning or knockbacking you just for their fun...

Kommentar von Talboth

I just attempted this "quest" today for the first time (11/17/2012) and I don't know who designed this but I was getting hit by tornadoes where no tornadoes existed. After about 7 attempts I decided it's not worth it and I'll just stick to normal quests you don't need to find a cheat around to complete consistently. The only people I see finishing this easily were Monks who simply floated through.

If you are like me and do your dailies at a fixed time every day as routine, you might want to skip this one for the sheer flakiness of it.

Kommentar von 1055979

ok Easy peesee....4 legs...1st leg... if you need instruction here just sell your account...2nd leg...dont go thru the Temple to start...go around the left side on the outside edge...follow up outside the chains....stop at the 2nd to last chain... One nado criss cross left and right in front of temple entrance ...two come up from behind vertical...when the two up and down come up and head back down....hop the chain and move past the single criss crosser when it moves left...

enter temple and look out to the bridge you have to get across...This is third 3rd leg... has 2 patterns to cross bridge...one is the 3 nado's will bunch together...dont go in those...after they pass...they break into one moving up and down in center and two on the sides moving up and down...pick a path of the one farthest away start running...as a side one passes down and away from you strafe into its path moving up and to end...

Now the last leg...be ready after the 3rd leg bridge nados because you cant stand there too long...got to be rdy to move...So when you get to end of bridge watch for the nados criss crossing left and right ....right at the top of bridge...you want to scoot left into and behind the pagoda mailbox thingy...So when the left side nado moves right scoot...you will be in a place they cant touch you and you can take your time to survey the temple steps just outside this cubby your standing in...wait for the nado's your'll see criss crossing in front of the steps and scoot up the steps when they move left of the steps...Done!

Kommentar von 1050978

How to do this quest:

It took me about a billion tries to figure it all out, but there is a predictable and mostly safe path you can take. Once you have the path, it's mostly cake.

The route is split into four parts. Part one is the easiest, but I'll give my route for all of it.

READ ALL OF IT. There are rest areas between each part except for part 3 and part 4, so make sure you understand what to do at part 4.

Part 1: Gentle Slope

1. Grab your torch. Stay on the pagoda steps, and move to the extreme right. When the path is clear on the RIGHT, move forward, hugging right, up and over the hill.

1.a) On the way, you'll pass a fast tornado that follows the path up and down. If you know where it is, you'll know when it's safe to cross. Remember that it can come up behind you.

2. After the hill, cross the path to the LEFT side when it is safe (see 1.a)). Avoid the slow tornado going left and right, and move to the building. Move along the outside of the building for the next part.

Part 2: Steep Hill

The key to this one is to stay outside the chain. I think this is harder for big avatars (i.e. easier for gnomes than tauren) but even a big Draenai can do this.

3. Starting OUTSIDE the chain, on the LEFT side, go all the way up the hill. You can probably come back inside at the third-last post or later. Remember there's at least two tornadoes coming up behind you, but the most important ones are the ones going left to right. Continue hugging left until you're on the stairs. Go through the building and get ready for part 3.

Part 3: Bridge

There are three lanes. You need to wait until the center lane is halfway staggered with the left lane (the left tornado will already be halfway down by the time the center tornado reaches the top).

4. Start when the CENTER tornado leaves the closest part of the bridge. Follow the CENTER tornado. After the LEFT tornado has passed you on its way down, switch lanes to the LEFT lane.

4.a) How much time and space you have from switching between center and left lanes depends on how perfectly the lanes were staggered. Once you have switched to left lane, you may have a great deal of time (say, 10+ seconds) or only a few seconds before you MUST move to phase 4, depending on how it was staggered. I don't recommend waiting too long.

Part 4: Flat area and stairs

5. When you get to the top of the bridge, STOP at the gold line. There are two tornadoes in front of you. Wait until they are both passing you to the RIGHT, then move LEFT, hugging the left wall, as fast as you can.

5.a) REMEMBER: You have left-lane tornado from part 3 coming up behind you, center-lane tornado possibly beside you, and two tornadoes in front of you. If you don't move fast enough, either the center-lane will come up and hit you, or the first one going left and right will bounce and hit you from the right side before you're clear.

6. After you have made it past the two tornadoes, continue in a circle, hugging the wall to the LEFT, keeping an eye out for stray tornadoes. You will pass a small staircase. Cross it, climbing over the railing. Then climb over the railing of the big staircase, and turn left, going up the staircase.

Click the big fire at the end. MAKE CERTAIN YOU HAVE THE QUEST COMPLETE since if other people complete it at the same time, you might THINK you have it finished but only THEY actually got the complete.

Fly back down to the quest giver and finish your quest.

Kommentar von bettybae

I'm guessing Blizzard included this to teach us the value of patience........ they can eat it.

Kommentar von Hornhide

Did it on the third attempt,
First time I ran outside of the quest area.
Second time I tried Carens hint above, and ran outside the chains, but fell off a cliff.
Third time pays for all, just timed it more carefully across the bridge, used Aspect of the cheetah to speed things up, stayed in the zone, and made it through. The brazier sits at the top of the stairs on the front of the big Arena where you first meet Xuen.

Good luck!

Kommentar von ronfed

I have a contrary comment to all the negative ones here. It probably has to do with the patience of being a very old man. This quest is EASY. I do it as a daily every time it comes up.

First leg is hardly worth mentioning, just run to the right, around the tree if necessary.

Second leg is probably the hardest, but easily doable.Wait at the bottom until both tornadoes are are all the way down at the bottom, then run up the left side and STOP, tight against the chain and post, just before the tornado going back and forth across the path. As soon as it starts to move to the right run the rest of the way up and into the building.

Third leg is easy but requires patience. The tornadoes moving back and forth over the bridge move at different speeds, so that their relationship to one another is constantly changing. Wait until the two on the right are moving together and follow them across the bridge until the third one, moving the other way on the left, passes you. Move quickly into the now open left lane and run the rest of the way across the bridge. Near the end of the bridge you may have to pause a sec to let the tornadoes on the top move toward the right. At this point run the rest of the way across the bridge and all the way to the left to the stone well where it is safe. Wait there for a moment for the top tornadoes to move to the right, run to the main stair (jump the little wall helps) once on the stair you're safe, go up & light the torch.

Kommentar von 1060049

The key to completing this quest is to realize that there are 2 (two) different bridges that will get you to your destination. The westerly bridge that everyone seems to be taking (and that is frustrating the heck out of them) has tornadoes. The easterly bridge, the one I used, does not have tornadoes. Instead of tornadoes, the easterly bridge has a narrow sheet of wind blowing across its mid-section. My mage was able to use Invisability to get past the blowing sheet of wind and I think other classes will find something in their bag of tricks that will likewise help them get accross.

Kommentar von TheMuffinMan

Not even remotely worth the 5vp it gives you.

Kommentar von 762557

All respect to those of you who went through the trouble of figuring out ways to do this quest. But let's be honest, this is a horrible quest, right on par with the survival ring quests for Golden Lotus. They're just not worth the hassle, not for a measly 5 v.p. Give me quests that enlighten me with lore or make playing interesting. This trend towards making quests and bosses more complicated and frustrating than interesting and challenging has to stop. I shouldn't have to fly to Wowhead every time I want to do a new quest, nor should I have to watch over an hour of video and read pages of articles just to understand one boss strategy. Lazy and sloppy, Blizz. I understand the desire to implement new ideas and keep the game evolving, but somewhere along the way, someone should have said, "Wait, stop... this is really going to piss off our fanbase. Let's try something different."

Kommentar von bobsap69

The first and second step are the easiest, third being the most difficult. I don't know if you can call this a trick but I've found that you can still light the brazen even if you had your torch blown out. You can still light the brazen if you have the blown out debuff. What I do for the third step on my warrior is slap on some pvp gear to get the 70% speed bonus after heroic leap, heroic leap over the tornadoes and run straight to the brazen as fast as I can. Works every time.
So if you class has a speed buff/skill you can pretty much bypass all the tornadoes by the stairs.

Kommentar von xeraphax

For the Shaman's out there, as of patch 5.1, ghost wolf will not extinguish the flame.

I discovered this as I automatically hit ghost wolf without thinking, and found I still had it.

Makes it much easier. Not sure if it's a bug or not, though.

Kommentar von Touketsu

A tip for Death Knights - neither Unaufhaltsamer Tod nor will put out the torch, and I found that combining the two approximately equals the speed of the faster whirlwinds. The extra burst of speed definitely saved my sorry hide more than once. The combination puts you at a semi-permanent 126% run speed, and toggling Death's Advance will put you at 149% total run speed.

Edit: links and specific speeds.

Kommentar von Aliandrin

Wow... These are definitely not the posts I expected to see. I completely expected a whole page full of "Wow that was easy. Only a total huntard can't get it on the first try."

...Which is probably true.

Nothing makes you feel like a totally incapable, worthless idiot like WoW does.

Kommentar von 942097

davenrothz on 2012/10/19 (Patch 5.0.5)
The first parts are the easiest, it's the last part right after the final bridge that's a pain. I recommend using the empty space between the ropes on the right side at the very end of the bridge & jump through it. You'll land behind the posts & the chain ropes, safe from twisters. Once you're there, you can hop out in front of the chain and watch the tornado movements. It should be easy to find an appropriate path. Once I changed my strat to that, I finished it first try. Should be easy for me now. Seriously the most annoying daily ever.

I'd like to that davenrothz for this. This worked perfectly!

Kommentar von 795337

there's no time limit on this, so don't rush, take your time and watch the tornado's path. As a hunter I put on Aspect of the Cheetah for a speed boost but there are other things available to different classes.
I found a fairly easy path... go up the hill to the fist building, don't enter it, stay on the outside and go around to the left. Once on the other side you come to another path with tornadoes and chains along the path, don't bother jumping over, you can safely walk along the outside of the chain fence safely away from the tornadoes. Go around the little tree at the end, enter the building and exit to the west (to your right) in front of you will see a bridge and 3 tornadoes that vary their path, just watch for a second and time it right, you can follow one until you pass another and then change over. Once at the end of the bridge, stop, there are 4 or 5 that you have to wiggle through, remember this is not a race, take your time and watch, also, don't forget that you can follow a tornado to avoid another as long as you're not to close.
Take a deep breath, chill and Good Luck
it's not that bad ;)

I understand the frustration of so many of us hardcore WoW players who've been playing for years and are used to every quest being basically a variant on "Beat the $#*! out of X, Y and Z". Whereas this one is, basically, a puzzle - a bit like, say, the jumping puzzles in GW2. It took me maybe a dozen torches to get through it the first time, discovering a lot of things that didn't work (and a couple that did) - but having done it, I got a real kick out of the success, and found it's easy enough (see Ronfed's post below for a perfectly good solution, very similar to what I eventually did). Chill out and enjoy the challenge, is my advice; and if you really don't have the patience or inclination, just give it a miss - it's only 5vp and a tiny bit of rep, after all.

Just tested 5 min ago after trying 7 times to get there. Demonic Gateway does NOT extinguish the torch. I ran through first leg easy. Used demonic gateway on first bridge *it does not go all the way to the other end but its almost there, so just time it when there is no tornadoes at the end. Then did similarly to second bridge and across the last plaza to the steps, for total of three jumps. I just hang right after each bridge on the edge while casting the portal. Happy running...

You can do it in flight form, but you must stay on the ground!

Kommentar von 1066904

I had the same trouble as most people did, trying to cross the bridge and no matter what. . a wind out of no where blows out the torch. Exalted Sha of ANGER!

## THE ANSWER ##
There are two paths going up to the big temple. Take the path to the left, there are more tornadoes to avoid, but it seems that it is the way Blizzard wants us to go. So follow other peoples advice on avoiding the tornadoes and take the left path out of the first temple. Done easy every time.

who loves ya?

Some tips:

Ask someone nearby to do the quest with you. If your torch goes out you have 10 seconds to use someone else's torch to relight yours. This lets you break the quest into three parts - the first hill, second hill, and the bridge. If you fail on any part you won't have to go all the way back to the beginning.

Both players start at the bottom of a hill or bridge. One person goes first. If their torch goes out, they simply run back to the other player and relight their torch. If they make it, the second person simply runs straight up the hill/bridge. It doesn't matter if their torch goes out because they can just get a relight from the person who already made it.

Other tips:

First Hill

This one is really easy. You just stick to the right as far as you can go.

Second Hill

Go to the outside of the chain on the left side of the hill. You will be able to walk most of the way up the hill without falling off. Don't stand TOO close to the chain because there is a chance your torch could get blown out if you hug right up next to it when a tornado goes by.

Go up the left side of the hill until you are almost at the top - there will only be one more side-to-side moving tornado in front of you. There are also two tornadoes that move up and down the hill. Watch for the timing - when the second one goes down the hill, simply hop over the chain and walk to the top, avoiding the last side-to-side tornado.

Bridge (last stage)

The bridge isn't the hard part - it is the really short space right at the end of it.

There are only three tornadoes on the last bridge - all of them move along the full length of the bridge - none move side-to-side. They don't all move at the same speed. Wait until the center tornado is moving right along side one of the other two. When they hit the bottom of the hill and start back up, follow behind them up the hill. When the one moving down the hill moves past you move to that side and proceed to the top.

When you reach the top there are a couple other tornadoes at the landing. You will just have to do your best to avoid them. If you have some temporary way to boost your run speed, use it when you are on the final bridge when you change sides. This will put you farther ahead of the tornado that will be moving in the same direction as you and give you more time to figure out how to get past the courtyard. If you are a mage, simply use blink when you get to the top of the bridge.

Kommentar von Djmax

Warlocks DO NOT need Glyph of Eye of Kilrogg for this quest. You just need to set down your Demonic Portal on the stairs after first bridge before you take the torch. For the second bridge, set down Demonic Gateway. Neither extinguish the torch.

Kommentar von 1069352

With a warlock, I was able to run up the hill to the right on the first leg, just outside the right-hand side of the chains on the second leg, and then use Demonic Gateway on the third (bridge) and fourth (in front of the temple) legs. (I was not, however, able to use the Eye of Kilrogg in the manner suggested by Neopatra, above -- I was just casting the gateways from where I was standing.)

On the third leg, the Demonic Gateway does not quite reach all the way across the bridge, but if you place it near the end on the right side, you will be close enough to be able to hop off the bridge and onto the ground safely outside the chains. From there you can carefully hop just inside the chains and cast Demonic Gateway halfway up the temple stairs. However, the last leg seemed pretty easy even without using Demonic Gateway since the wind blows in predictable counter-clockwise patterns.

Kommentar von Jolkster

If you're a Druid you are able to do this quest in your cat or travel form without extinguishing the torch.

Kommentar von mcwood

I watch people do this every time its up and its so silly all the bobbing and weaving and doging they go through.

Simply go around the chains that act as "handrails" on the edges of the mountain. Simply run on the outside where no tornados even are, and then the only thing you have to really do is the bridge. Other players watch me do this and I love the astounded whispers I get. There's no class and spec requirement to do this, just "cheat" your way through the course without being on it.

This quest is free/rep/gold/valor for me. I never mess it up.

Kommentar von MikeWho3

This quest is not as hard as some people are stating.

First, the tornado range is a bit bigger than its effect and artwork, so give yourself a bit of extra room. Also it helps if you have a speed boosting spell or effect, on my paladin I did this with his Speed of Light Talent, and waited for the cooldown after each section.

Second its best to do this with a friend or even a opposite faction member. I followed a horde up the path and we each re-lit each others torch when we messed up.

Third, CHEAT! There are several places where you can jump over the side of a fence and skirt the cliff face up the side, skipping several twisters.

Also on the last bridge there are SEVERAL Tornado's that move in the same direction VERY fast, dodge them as best you can and at the end jump off between the ropes on the right side, aiming for the area behind the fence around the cliff. Wait for the next twister then jump over the fence and follow it around up to the Brazier, which is up the stairs in front of the temple door.

Yay, Fireworks!

(sadly my horde friend didn't make it, he "accidently" got pushed off a cliff at the last bridge)

Kommentar von Jimbofult

Demonic Circle and alternate route FTW! Also, stay outside of the chain fence as much as possible.
Getting to the first building (the one with all the students inside) is pretty easy if you hug the hill on the right, turn right and stay to the right of the pathway as much as possible.
Many of the comments then talk about taking the left exit out of that first building. It was easier for me to go straight through that building to take the exit to the north.
I had to use demonic gateway to get across the bridge.
Next, I scrambled up the hill on the left side of the stairs.
I then had to run across a clearing to get to the platform - stay off the platform, though. Scramble along the left side of it and then jump down to the stairs, where all the little NPCs are cheering for you as you climb the stairs to the top and then light the brazier.

Kommentar von 272422

I haven't seen this posted yet... but I was able to light the brazier with an extinguished torch.

As a Paladin, I was making it to the end of the bridge, but no further... so on this try I sprinted through the twisters with SoL and made it to the brazier with 3 seconds left on my extinguished torch debuff... clicked the brazier and I received quest credit.

Kommentar von triface

For anyone wondering, Dämonisches Tor does not extinguish the torch, but because it is not an immediate teleport and is more a jump to the corresponding portal, you can end up jumping into a tornado, which will extinguish your torch.

Classes with on-demand increase in movement speed (such as Brennender Ansturm, , Geschwindigkeit des Lichts) should use them judiciously to get past the tornadoes, especially the ones that move from side to side quickly. Brennender Ansturm, in particular, is very useful as you can toggle it, and the health loss is negligible unless you keep it on throughout the quest. Even then, Healthstones can help offset the health loss.

Kommentar von 995772

I read so many people here complain abt this daily that I myself was nervous abt doing it for the first time. I read some comments and the only helpful one I found was some guy saying go left through the first temple and right through the second temple, across the bridge and up the stairs. then i went and one shotted this daily in less than 2 min. **i have no idea why so many people find this so hard seriously* its hellllaaa easy zomg! Heres how you do it:

1. the tornados are predictably easy and move in patterns that are easy to see. head up the mountain path and steer around the first set of them.

2. at the first temple go inside and left through to the next path. again, keep moving and dont stop. steer around these tornadoes as well. not much difficulty here either.

3 at the next temple go inside and run through to the right to the bridge. now stop. examine the pattern of the tornadoes on the bridge. there should be three of them moving across the brigde and back again. the far left one is fast. the middle one is moving at medium speed. the far right one is slow. All i did was follow the slower ones across the bridge and at about 2/3 of the way across i waited for the moment when the fast tornado came at me bruh, i let it pass and then jumped into its path and quickly overtook the slower tornadoes.

4. there is a fast tornado at the end of the bridge moving left and right. time it and as it passes toward the left, run across toward the right quickly.

5. move toward the main stairs in the middle and dodge the last few tornadoes and boom! up the stairs, light the thingy, and done.

I have no idea why so many ppl found this so hard honestly. i also kinda stayed to the right.. maybe because i was carrying the torch in my right hand and i ran to the right around most of the tornadoes kept the torch away from passing winds or something idk. i just know it was hella easy. good luck!

Kommentar von Plaguewind

Demonic Gateway has never been more useful.

Kommentar von mjolnirbabe

yes indeed this quest is a PitA, but yeah with some patience it is do-able. should be worth more than a regular daily but what can you do...

as others have stated above, and as of 5.1, if you run just to the outside of the chains you can avoid most of the tornadoes for the first two phases of the run. you can also do the hearth trick and hearth to master lao to skip the first path - it does not blow out the torch, but realistically you can only do that once, even with the guild perk.

for the final bridge, take a moment and watch the pattern of the funnels. pick a side, i did left, and when the center funnel is at the bottom, and the side funnel is at the top, follow the center funnel up. once the side funnel passes you, move to that side and run to the top of the bridge. hug the post and follow it around when it is safe. go behind either the gong (right) or the spirit well (left, you can also pick up a book there for an explorer achievement). those are safe spots, where you can watch the pattern for a safe time to run.

i went to the left, up the side stairs to the side of the main temple. there arent any funnels up there yet, so you are fairly safe. run around to the front of the main temple and light the brazier there.

Kommentar von 1082239

After a few failed attempts I was able to complete . What helped was taking time to study the patterns of the little tornadoes plus skirting to the outside of paths avoiding roads and bridges until the last one . There i waited to see what the tornadoes would do .Once I saw I could follow one I just had to watch for the others coming back across the bridge so i could sidestep to avoid them .When I got across last bridge I just had to go to far left out of the range of last few tornadoes to get to steps from there you are in the clear.

Kommentar von TheWheatOne

At first I agreed that this is a frustrating quest, but to those that get the hang of it, it is easy. You just have to use your mind a bit instead of relying on quick mouse fingers or memorization of tornado paths.

All you have to do is hug the edges, especially if rails are there. Jump over them and its basically a free path up. The hardest part is definitely the bridge end, where you have to wait for the two tornados to pass right, but also be quick enough to not have the tornados behind you catch up. Still, once pass that, you just go left over the rails, go up the small stairs, then turn right to the brazier.

If you're feeling like a good Samaritan, you can even let others relight their torch off yours! They can just pass the bridge, go up to relight from you and still complete it no problem. You only have a few seconds to relight though after it goes out, so hurry!

Kommentar von DarkBladeSethan

A way you can use to bypass a lot of space is by using Dämonisches Tor. So either you being a warlock or getting a friend to help you will take a bit of the bitter taste of this quest.

Kommentar von 998027

Why on earth does this quest only give 275 reputation...

It should give like...550 as a base.

Kommentar von Naaman

As mentioned in other posts, just consolidating a little for the first few parts;
Part 1 is simple to dodge the whirlwinds When you reach the temple go around the outside ledge so that you start on the other side of the chain up the path.

Part 2 just stay outside the chain and follow the path up, a little care is needed to not fall off but it's not too daunting

Part 3 is the bridge, pick middle or right and wait till the whirlwind reaches that end, when it starts going back follow it and step to the left hand side as soon as it's safe

Part 4 just before the end of the bridge, between the last rope and the support pillar, walk onto the little spit of land behind the fence post and follow it around - you can now walk (carefully) up the slope that the left hand set of stairs is embedded in and jump down to clear the fence post. Quickly turn around and climb the left hand set of steps and turn right at the top to run across the platform, drop down and you're within a few yards of the brazier

Blizzard can f itself with this one. Unfortunately, this is one of the most frustrating, time consuming dailies in the entire game. I've given up on it entirely, as I've only been able to finish it successfully a couple of times. It needs to be fixed, so the torch isn't just randomly being blown out. That, or, there needs to be an area around the tornado so that you can actually see the range you should stay away from it. That's all, I just really needed to rant. -grumble-

Kommentar von Trilok

So, where is the torch for the quest The Torch of Strength?

You find it with Lin Tenderpaw located @ 68.6/56.4.

She will also give you a new torch if you loose the one you had.

Kommentar von Greif

Mage Blink and Hunter Aspect of the Cheetah work for now. Mage Blink is being replaced in patch 5.2 by Blazing Speed. I presume Blazing Speed will still work. I agree with the other very old guy. Patience is key. The problem with being a Very Old Guy is remembering to turn in the quest when you have completed it.

I keep right on the first stretch. Very easy.

Then I follow the right hand tornado up the hill, pausing for the cross tornado and passing it on the right. I keep far to the right for the returning right path tornado. The last cross tornado is easily avoided.

On the third path, I follow the middle tornado up the bridge, switching to the left side when that tornado reaches the far end of the bridge. The first of the three cross tornados is the most dangerous as it is right at the end of the bridge. I wait for it to move to the right, then run as far as I can to the left, skirting around the left end of the other two tornados' paths to the left side of the steps up to the temple. I hop over the side onto the steps and run up to light the brazier. Missing that first cross tornado at the end of the bridge takes a little bit of both luck and timing.

I do not believe that this quest will ever be nerfed. It is easy for those of us who remember Frogger.

Kommentar von Greif

If you think your torch is being blown out by nothing at all, you are probably being hit from behind by a tornado or you went up the wrong path. There are permanent eddies at the entrances to the wrong paths that will blow out your torch. These eddies can be hard to see at lower video settings.

For those who think this is the worst quest in the game, I submit Überlebensring: Klingen as a serious alternative candidate.

Kommentar von 133653

it's funny reading all of the comments on here about this quest when it's ridiculously easy.

Kommentar von Eindrachen

If you are a warlock, a little preparation will really, really help avoid the garbage part at the end with the little fast tornado at the end of the bridge.

Before you get the quest, go up to that last bridge, just before the huge flight of steps up to the quest target (that set of burning embers or whatever it is). Click your Dämonisches Tor spell to get the green targeting circle, and move over to the end of the bridge so that you are standing on the last wooden plank of the bridge (just before passing the two pillars/supports on the side). It seems better to stand in the middle, for placement purpose.

Now, move your targeting circle up the steps as far as it will go without moving your body, and left-click to drop the circle. After that, drop your Dämonischer Zirkel right there in the same spot you summoned the gateway.

You grab the quest and hustle up past the first two parts of the path. The idea is, when you get to the bridge, you only have to time it so that you are halfway across, just within range of Dämonischer Zirkel: Teleportieren. Make very sure that when you teleport, there won't be a tornado too close to you.

The instant you teleport, click on the gateway (which should be fully charged), and zip up the steps to finish the quest.

This means that the only hard part is timing the bridge a little. My experience is, wait for the middle tornado to move away from you, run across a little ways, and when it starts coming back and isn't close to the gateway/circle area, just teleport and gate over.

It may take a couple of tries to practice, but it's really foolproof once your timing is down. If you need to, drop the circle somewhere else along the bridge to make it better to get across, depending on how you want to time it.

Good luck!

P.S. This can also really, really help a group of people doing this quest at the same time, if they are in party with you so they can also use the gateway. They'll still have to get across the bridge, but they don't need any other fancy moves to get up the steps; they just gotta click on the gateway at the end. If you and some friends are doing this at the same time, you might offer to help out.

P.P.S. Before I go, let me say that as of the date of this post, this is the most garbage, broken daily quest in the game at the moment. The "moving AOE" mechanic in general seems to be broken, based on my experience with Kaiserlicher Wesir Zor'lok and his Abschwächung attack. The tornadoes in this quest are equally screwed up; you can be 5+ yards away, and lag and other factors can just rob you of completion because you just got unlucky. So yeah. Nice job, Blizzard. Right up there with the Shado-Pan dailies.

As a druid, you can (at least as of now, patch 5.1) fly up in your flight form (staying on the ground), so you'll be much faster (ground speed) and avoiding the winds is much easier.

Kommentar von Karsciyin

This quest is a spit in the face for people with poor ping. Some of the faster tornadoes you're better off running THROUGH because the server things you are further back than you are, and punish you for successfully dodging them.

Kommentar von 1091288

Easiest way to do this quest.

First Part: Run up the hill as normal, but instead of going into the small open plan building, run around its edge to the left.

Second Part: Run up the side of the hill along the narrow ledge on the other side of the chains.

Third Part: The bridge is hard but just chase the middle tornado across the bridge then step into the left tornadoes path after it has gone past you in the opposite direction. Once on the left side, jump through the gap in the bridges ropes onto the snow covered ground behind it.

Fourth Part: Run around the side behind the chains until you get to the wall of the stairs, walk through the gap between the tiny pillar and the wall, quickly turn left up the stairs and get to the top, jump onto the golden coloured ledge, follow it round to the main set of stairs and run up to the brazier to light it.

Hope this avoids a lot of rage from now on!

Kommentar von Nikoras

This quest is simply awful, but keep in mind that if your torch gets blown at in the last stretch, you can still light the torch as long as you still have the debuff it gives you. If you just crossed the bridge and your torch gets blown out, use any abilities you have to get some extra speed and you might just make it in time

Kommentar von 1103240

The bridge is the hardest part. As previously mentioned, Warriors can use Heroic Leap to cross winds on bridge. I just discovered that Shadow Priests can use Dispersion to cross winds on bridge.

Kommentar von Scunosi

Managed to complete it without any crazy routes or tricks on my third try, so maybe it's been simplified a bit.
I did notice though, on the big wind gust going across the large bridge, it seems like the wind is hiding in the mist. My first run through I thought the whole whitish block had to be avoided, but as long as you can see the windstream within the fog you can walk into it without being extinguished.

Wait until you are at the last leg of the quest, right after crossing the bridge and before going up the last steps. Use a buff that boosts your speed to get to the blazer quickly. Even if your torch is blown out you should still have enough time to light the blazer. The quest gives you a few seconds to relight your torch off a fellow players torch when it is blown our, and during those few seconds it is also possible to light the blazer and finish the quest.

Kommentar von 310835

Seriously... annoying quest?

I did it at 2nd attempt (and not at first one because I mounted and got the torch blown, happens because I didn't read the quest haha).
As priest had speed increase when cast power word:shield. On each part of the route, shield yourself, run. Wait until shield is up again. Repeat until reaching brazier.

Kommentar von RubyEyes

Since the latest patch (5.2) this quest/daily seems a WHOLE LOT easier.

I did it in one try and had a tornado go right next to me. It would have normally put the torch out, but it doesn't now.

Maybe they finally fixed it?

Kommentar von xilios

i found to do this you:

1st get your torch hug the right side all the way to the tree go around the tree and your free to go into the building.

2nd after leaving the first building immediately head left before the chains/fence. follow on the out side of the chain fence careful not to fall off and it will take you to the other side carefree without worrying about the tornadoes and enter the building.

3rd this one was tricky i thought i could walk across the top of the bridge but apparently not. But! when the first tornado goes to the far side of the bridge you go and can go in between the ropes of the bridge careful not to fall and your safe last just wait for the first tornado to head right after the bridge and go left around the area and jump on the stairs and your done.

Kommentar von stickshift

This quest blows.

Kommentar von 227386

I agree with all of the comments about how poorly designed this quest is. For 250 rep (before guild and race perqs), I have to wonder whether it's worth it.

I was able to synthesize many of the helpful comments on this page and finish it, though. Staying outside of the chains for the second part is definitely useful, and if you go around the left side of that first building instead of into it, getting to the safer outside area of the chain railing is easier.

So I got to the bridge and crossed it, and couldn't reset my camera fast enough-- I got the floating combat text and assumed that it was all over. On a whim I went to the brazier nonetheless--

AND IT LIT!

So perhaps the torch isn't a one-shot, but now has several "hit points" and can withstand one tornado. If that's the case, well fixed Blizzard-- I may actually do this more than once, since both my Tailor and Enchanter need Exalted with the AugCels.

Kommentar von 1115422

If you're a rogue, try out Münzbeutel des Überlebenden. It does NOT extinguish the torch and it trivializes the quest.

Kommentar von jetfire158

This quest is extremely annoying. Not only are the air vortexes difficult to avoid, but sometimes the torch will just extinguish randomly for no reason at all. I'll tell you how I finally conquered it, though. It might not be a very good strategy but it's kind of funny:

For the first leg, I stayed over to the far right of the path. That part was pretty easy. There's one tornado that moves back and forth just in front of the doorway to the first building that I had to watch out for, but that one is fairly easy to avoid. Then for the second leg, I just walked on the VERY edge of the plateau where the temple walkways are, on that tiny little ledge between the fence/chain railing and the dropoff to the water below. The tornadoes never go past the fence, so you won't get hit by them if you stay on the other side of it. Just don't fall off, you won't die but you'll land in the water and your torch will (obviously) get extinguished. It's not too hard though.

However, when I got to the bridge, that little tactic didn't work, because the ledge beyond the bridge supports was just too narrow. I was thinking of using my Nitrobooster to help me avoid the vortexes, but I was afraid it would put out the torch. However, after several failed attempts, I saw some other people using similar movement boosts and figured I'd just give it a try. So I hit the rocket button, but instead of getting the movement speed buff, the thing exploded on me and I was launched into the air. Quite high, actually. High enough that when I instinctively activated my Goblingleiter to avoid fall damage, I ended up sailing over the bridge and landing right on the stairs in front of the quest objective.

And guess what...the torch didn't go out. :D

This reminded me of why I love Engineering. Next time I get on, I'm going to see if I can launch myself high enough with Gnomischer Gravitationsbrunnen to accomplish this same feat (as lovely as it is having stuff explode on me).

UPDATE: I tried it, and Gnomischer Gravitationsbrunnen is definitely effective. Just keep spamming it until you reach an altitude that will be sufficient to get you over to the brazier with the glider. Then hit your glider and fly straight at the building, you'll land right on top of said brazier or on the stairs just in front of it--effectively skipping the bridge and the area just past it. Make sure you're high enough though, before you glide! Also a warning--the well won't work forever. I'm not exactly sure what the time limit is, but if you spam it for longer than a few minutes I believe, it will stop working so don't let that catch you off guard.

Kommentar von 1119184

This quest wasn't so bad. Basically all that you have to do for the first few sections is stay outside of the 'railing' but just barely on the ledge (so there are no winds). This can get you all of the way to the bridge. At that point just use a speed boosting ability (as a priest i used body and soul from PW:S) to follow behind a tornado just leaving your end of the bridge, then switch lanes once one in an adjacent lane passes you going back towards the start of the bridge. Once over the bridge just skirt around the edge again to get to the brazier without having to encounter any more winds.

Just tried this today and it worked: Do as the past comments suggests (use the railing and stay on the outside) got to the last bridge and waited for the first whirl to come down then followed it across the bridge then moves right where the others whirls just left. Went to cross the ground to where the stairs were and got snagged by that darn three whirls, ran up the stairs anyway and lit the brazier before the countdown to 0 on the snuffed out torch and it lit! I had only 1 sec to go, but it lit anyway so if you get that far hustle your butt up those stairs! lol ....good luck :P

Nope - unless you really need the rep, it's not worth doing this.

It's not a hard concept. But it's just a pain in the ass.

Kommentar von thelandira

Had to log in to offer a little tip. When you get to the last bridge you can jump up onto the chain fence to the right (just before the bridge) and walk on it. From there jump onto the small column at the beginning of the bridge and then go down onto the chain that supports the bridge. From there you can walk all the way to the end of the bridge and not get hit by the whirlies. You may get stuck in a few places along the chain but you can safely jump over them as long as you are in a straight line with the chain. All you'll have to worry about are the whirlies between the end of the bridge and the stairs going up to temple. Hope this helps some of ya.

If your torch blows out within running distance of the brazier, you can still light it whilst it's on that countdown ... so if it gets blown out on the flat bit, sprint/blink/charge etc up those stairs and you should make it =)

Kommentar von Fantsypants

The route from the start till last brigde is quite easy, but from here it's a pain in the as* which is allready pointed out by many here in the comments.

I found this last part a tad more easy as engineer, and here is why:

I poped my nitro belt, it exploded, Houston we have a lift off, poped my goblin glider, score!

This quest blows, literally.

Lin tinderpaw, "Tell me of your travels"
WHAT THE CRAP IS THERE TO KNOW! I JUST SAW YOU 10 SECONDS AGO AND THIS IS THE 5 GAZILLIONTH FREAKIN TORCH I'VE GOT FROM YOU
Then she has the balls to say "I hope to see you again"
(But I'm not bitter ;-) )

Kommentar von fujislider

Not even the worst escort quests in Vanilla can compare with how frustratingly terrible this quest is for what it rewards.

Kommentar von Knallert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI9wiygIrrU this was playing over and over in my head when I did this. I may also have shouted it loudly whilst doing the mandatory jump-running we so often do on WoW.

Kommentar von JGPenfield

Step 1: Stay the far right.
Step 2: Stay to the left of the chains all the way up.
Step 3: wait until the winds are offset. They travel at different speeds. Sit as long as you want to decide when to start the run.Just change lanes to avoid the winds. At the end of the bridge is a wind crossing back and forth. Cross over on the right when it is on the left. You need to hurry or the bridge winds will get you.
Step 4: Stay to the far right and you can rest there all day. Just watch the winds and head up the middle stairs when you see an opening.

Kommentar von Roscoe426

Frustrating to say the least. made it by running on the outside right of the chained fence. never fell off and lit the damn brazier. whew. Good luck all.

Kommentar von honoredLineage

Found an easy way to do this as an engineer: Use Gnomish Gravity Well to get up high, and then Goblin Glider to float over to the brazier.

Kommentar von 999288

You can go to the east bridge, where Lun-Chi waits for a challenge but you will find a thin wall of wind blocking the way. Using the edge of the rock on the left, it's possible to climb up but more tornados are waiting there. Again, you can avoid them by going instead to the temple where Lun-Chi is. However, another wind wall is blocking the way across the bridge.
Well, played! /fist Blizzard

Kommentar von 999288

for the last part, I found one that at the last bridge, one can simply walk right and border the last tornados until the stairs. Holy Light!

Kommentar von Chiripita

It's great to be a rogue in this quest. Sprint FTW! :D

For only 250 rep this quest can lick my nuts

Torch of Strenght?

Torch of Annoyance.

Kommentar von SpakyTwo

Did any one want to smack Lin Tenderpaw when she said "I hope to see you soon?". I was like "Are you trying to insult me?" LOL.

Edit: I mean seriously after the 10th time you have failed and she said that, I got annoyed with her.

"We do these things... not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

Kommentar von TheNatural

Okay, so after being extremely frustrated with this quest I found an extremely easy way to do it. I used the Falling Flames "toy" from the Timeless Isle, and a Goblin Glider. I simply lined myself up with the brazier, popped the Falling Flames. and when i could see the stairs, I used my Glider. I was able to land right in the middle of the stairs, and from there it was a short walk to the Brazier. I;m not sure if slowfall or levitate can be used while under the effects of the falling flames, but I would imagine if that were the case, only proper alignment would be needed, and the quest after that is a breeze (huehuehue).

Kommentar von Korei

For engineers this is quite easy if you have the gnomish gravity well and the glider. Simply spam gravity well until your high up, activate the glider and fly over to the unlit brazier

Kommentar von Critsngiggles

They need to make a statistic tracking for this quest- number of times carried the torch boss.

Kommentar von Ludmillaa

When doing the last part, DON'T stop at the other end of the bridge - or if you do make sure it's very brief. Now head to behind that little (what looks like a) well, with a little red roof on it, to your left - you can wait here until it looks clear, then rush to the first set of steps and jump across to the second big staircase - you know the rest.

Kommentar von Iskenator76

If your playing a class with any movement speed increasing abilities (Speed of Light, Angelic Feather, Etc.) use them. They won't put your torch out and some of them will allow you to move faster then the tornadoes.

If you can save it for the final area. once you pass the bridge use it. if your fast enough you should be able to light the brazer before your debuff ends. (Remember that if you get hit by a tornado you have 10 seconds to light the brazier before you have to restart.).

Kommentar von icwtcx

Yes this quest this annoying but not impossible. I completed in 5 tries.

Part 1: Take the torch and take the left side route outside chains. Up on the slope you will reach a point where 1 tornado might be waiting. So just wait and dodge.

Part 2: Do not go inside the structure just follow the outside chain route on left and keep on walking on edge. After crossing the 7th pillar jump to inside chain route and dodge 1 tornado to reach end of part 2.

Part 3: Go inside the structure and take right. This part is tricky. You will have 3 tornadoes on the bridge. 1 on left, 1 in middle and 1 on right. Left and middle follow same track, right one opposite. So wait for left and middle tornado to traverse back and just follow them in middle lane. When you have passed the right tornado just switch lane to the right one.

Part 4: Take a deep breath, wait near Emperor's Burden part 6 thingy and take the left stairs. go to top and cross right to finish the quest.

I might have missed few details but just keep your open and you should be good to go. :) Cheers

Druids: So long as you do NOT lift off from the ground, you can do this in swift flight form.

Kommentar von gpxsis

The one who created this quest deserves to be kicked in the stomach.

Kommentar von Zugurosh

Go for the external part of the way. When you get to the bridge, figure out the 3 winds pattern and go till the end of the bridge. Once you've reached the end of the bridge, use any speed boost you might have and just RUN TO THE HIL... STAIRS. I gave up trying to reach the basin with the torch still lit, but you can still use the basin if you are within the 10 seconds window before you lose your torch. Go for it.

Kommentar von voododoll

Hahah, i wanted to commit suicide when i figured out how to do this quest!

The only place where you need to mass near a twister is the bridge

All other places just go from the side.
of the road behind the chains and around the buildings

Kommentar von 1389100

Aviana's Feather allows you to fly up into the air and soar directly to the brazier. Aviana's feather is obtained from garrison Inn quests. It definitely makes this quest tolerable xD

Kommentar von Califree

Are they kidding me? My Fire Mage carries a flaming staff and rides a flaming hippogryph, but needs a little torch to light a brazier?

Nope. Not fun, and thus, not necessary. :P

Kommentar von VaporwaveEgg

Two words.

Aviana's Feather.

Kommentar von 1322259

If you have Aviana's Feather from the Inn quests in your garrison in Draenor, I highly suggest using it. Easy as pie.

Kommentar von nipps01

Avianas feather doesn't make you lose the torch. Makes its much quicker.

Kommentar von 995652

This may be one of the few times it helps to be a Shaman. You may not be able to mount, but you can cast Ghost Wolf and run the whole way. Not sure "Why" or "How" you can run on all fours carrying a torch and NOT have it go out, but who am I to argue. Makes getting by the last three on the bridge a piece of cake.

Kommentar von BeffaniBoo

The best way to do this quest is Aviana's Feather.

Kommentar von Pypode

The bridge doesn't have tornadoes. Now there is a solid wind. Still trying to figure out how to get torch across.

Kommentar von RenataKane

Outlaw rogues - Grappling Hook works wonders here. It gets you over all the solid wind traps. Between that and Sprint, you can get through this relatively easily.

Die Fackel der Stärke

Tragt die Fackel der Stärke zu den Toren des Tempels des Weißen Tigers, ohne dass sie erlischt.

	Das starke Kohlenbecken entzündet (1)

Beschreibung

Xuen hat sich eine Aufgabe ausgedacht, die dazu dienen soll, die "Stärke zu verfeinern". Ich glaube allmählich, dass der Begriff "Stärke" für ihn eine andere Bedeutung hat als für den Rest von uns.

Hier, bringt diese Fackel auf die Tore des Tempels. Wenn Ihr das schafft, ohne dass die Fackel erlischt, habt Ihr die Aufgabe bestanden.

Setzt Euch aber auf keinen Fall mit der Fackel auf ein Reittier. Dann geht sie aus. Das könnt Ihr mir ruhig glauben.
