| Leb wohl, Minnow |
Azshara |
Azshara has been transformed into a Horde-only zone, one that has a lot of fun with the commercial goblins and Azuregoes. |

Darkshore underwent many changes after the Shattering--and completing the first half of quests in this zone is heartbreaking, from rescuing survivors to seeing familiar faces pass away. |

| Der Tag, an dem Todesschwinge kam |
Badlands |
Survivors of the Sundering spin tall tales about how they defeated Deathwing--it's both funny and touching at once. |

Scholomance |
Bring justice to Eva and Lucien Sarkhoff--devoted servants of Scholomance trapped and tortured in a past life. |

| Die Hand von Gul'dan |
Shadowmoon Valley |
The Cipher of Damnation is an epic questline that used to be a prerequisite for entering Tempest Keep. This comment outlines all the various quests in the chain. You are tasked with rebuilding the spell uttered by Gul'dan which shattered Outland. Oronok, a former lieutenant of Gul'dan, is constantly reminded of his treacherous involvement--and sent his three sons out into Shadowmoon Valley to find traces of the cipher when he received word that Illidan was using the cipher for his own purposes. |
| Der Wendepunkt/Todesstoß für die Legion |
Netherstorm |
These quest series give major amounts of reputation for Die Aldor or Die Seher. They mostly follow the same trajectory in Netherstorm--shutting down the various Manaforges. However, the climatic battle against Socrethar differs for factions. The Aldor questline is a bit more interesting as a traitorous Draenei realizes his wrongdoings and then sacrifices himself. |
| Ein Besuch bei der Großmutter |
Nagrand |
This quest chain provides backstory on Thrall, his surviving relatives, and Garrosh. It can only be started after completing numerous quests in Nagrand. |
| Arelions Tagebuch |
Hellfire Peninsula |
Studious journal notes turn out to be a steamy journal, but the amusing part is finding Verdorbene Duftkerze and Schachtel mit abgestandenen Süßigkeiten in the quest satchel as well. |
| Sühne |
Hellfire Peninsula |
The questline demonstrates how revenge is not always the most effective strategy. After a peace-loving Draenei is murdered, you are asked to go on a rampage on his behalf--learning afterwards that it was the wrong choice. |
| Die Schlacht an der Purpurwacht |
Shadowmoon Valley |
Starting with Val'zareqs Tagebuch: Vorboten des Krieges, you learn that a general of the Sha'tar is captured by agents of Illidan. After disrupting their ritual, you are rewarded with either Grüner Trophäenwappenrock der Illidari or Lila Trophäenwappenrock der Illidari. |
| Neue Anweisungen |
N/A |
To enter Karazhan in the past, one needed to complete an elaborate questline to receive a key. Attunement has been removed, but the questline is interesting as it introduces players to the Kirin Tor, Khadgar, Burning Crusade heroics, and the general lore of Deadwind Pass. This comment explains all the steps in teh keying procedure. |
| Champion der Naaru |
N/A |
This used to be a title for completing Die Prüfung der Naaru: Magtheridon, but it's still a fun questchain to complete anyway. You'll have to complete the Cipher of Damnation chain described above, and then Die Prüfung der Naaru: Erbarmen, Die Prüfung der Naaru: Stärke, Die Prüfung der Naaru: Zuverlässigkeit, and Die Prüfung der Naaru: Magtheridon. |
| Die Phiolen der Ewigkeit |
N/A |
This quest series requires you to kill the end bosses in Höhle des Schlangenschreins and Festung der Stürme. You are tasked with retrieving a vial that was drawn from the Well of Eternity--Illidan poured three into the lake on top of Mount Hyjal to form the second Well of Eternity, and the rest were presumed lost until now. This quest also opens up access to Die Wächter der Sande reputation rings. Completing it before nerfs in Burning Crusade rewarded Hand von A'dal. |
| Das gefährdete Geheimnis |
N/A |
This quest series granted attunement to The Black Temple, involving the Ashtongue Deathsworn, redeeming Akama, slaying A'lar while disguised as a Broken in Tempest Keep, and eventually killing Illidan Stormrage for Gesegnetes Medaillon von Karabor. It didn't just stop after attunement, but continued to trace the development of major lore characters. This comment documents the full process. |

| Der Ruf des Weltenschamanen/Der Ruf des Weltenschamanen |
N/A |
Added in 4.2, many players did this questline without thinking simply because epic capes were the final reward. But if you take the time to listen to all the dialogue, it's an interesting character sketch of Thrall--both his strengths and weaknesses. |
| Meine Schwester Fanny |
Twilight Highlands |
You're tasked with bringing about a political marriage between subsets of the Wildhammer clans, but quickly learn that Fanny Donnermar has a mind of her own and awesome personality. From turning down your escort aid to enthusiastically talking about the physical attributes of her groom, Fanny has a lot of sass and makes the traditional 'wedding planning' quests fun. The final quest has a surprise twist, but Text und Musik von..., in which you get to write your own wedding song, is a fun highlight too! |
| Visionen der Vergangenheit von Vashj'ir |
Vash'jir |
Learn about some of the Highborne's past, under Queen Azshara's rule--each vision will turn you into a Naga with special abilities! To learn how to get to this quest point, check out this comment. |
| In tausend Jahren könntet selbst Ihr etwas wert sein |
Uldum |
Harrison Jones is back, and you need to assist him on his fabulous adventures in Uldum--culminating in Brann Bronzebeard's reappearance. It's a very long quest chain and this comment goes over every quest in the series. |
| Von Alpträumen zerfressen |
Twilight Highlands |
This unsettling achievement takes you into the world of Thrall's nightmares, after dying. |
| Auf der Suche nach Schnäbelchen |
Twilight Highlands |
Beak, Donnelly's pet gryphon, is assumed dead--until your help, which brings about a touching reunion. |

Reach into the hat for a drink. (1 Hour Cooldown). Alliance-only, but remains in inventory if going Horde. |

One stylish and laid-back hat. Sporeggar would approve. |
| Gahrrons Schulterschutz |
Erinnerungen an längst vergangene Zeiten |

This breastplate, and a few others from Hellfire Peninsula, look quite similar to Paladin Tier 4: Brustschutz des Rechtsprechers. |

Ich arbeite... für die Horde!/Nichts verkommen lassen! |
And here's the matching legs that are a Paladin TIer 4 lookalike. |
| Magische Klinge des Illidaribanns |
Die Waffe härten |
This quest rewards, increasing stats against Demons, were popular when fighting Leotheras der Blinde. The quest series is pretty interesting too, if obscure. |

"Guaranteed to extinguish the fire, and everything else." |
| Subtile Faust |
Als Spion nach Voltarus |
"Not at all" |

Retrieve balloons for cute children and get your very own faction balloon! |
| Blauer Minitjostbussard/Goldener Minitjostbussard |
Eierwelle |
Completing this quest series in Hyjal, a tribute to arcade game Joust, will reward you with one of these pets. Completing Der "unschlagbare"? Pterodaktylus: GESCHLAGEN will grant you the other. |
| Brazies Sonnenblumensamen |
Rasen der lebenden Toten |
A clear tribute to Plants vs Zombies. |
| Schmetterschwanzjunges |
Ein alter Freund |
This pet used to be farmable in the old Zul'Gurub until it was removed. This comment explains how to currently obtain the pet for both Horde and Alliance, involving low-level questing in Northern Stranglethorn. Bonus: the pet is tagged as <'aka>, instead of <'s Pet>. |
| Mechanisches Huhn |
Ein eigener OOX |
This pet requires you to complete three escort quests--Sucht OOX-09/HL! in Hinterlands, Findet OOX-17/TN! in Tanaris, and Findet OOX-22/FE! in Feralas. These quests are started by looting random zone-wide drops and can be tricky at-level, not to mention the beacon drop rate is very low. However, it is BoE--so you might see it on the AH. |
| Minischwing |
Wolkenschwinge |
The escort quest for this pet is fairly easy at level, especially if you clear the area beforehand and know the path. Completing this escort quest also rewards you with the Halloween hat, Himmelshexerhut. |
| Pantherjunges |
Glück im Unglück/Glück im Unglück |
This adorable pet can easily be gotten by level 85s partially through completing the 4.1 quest series related to Zul'Gurub. |
| Kieselchen |
Felsliebhaber |
Complete In den Tiefen verloren 10 times to get this pet. You will need to have unlocked Therazane dailies in Deepholm and get lucky with the daily quest selection--as this quest is not a guarantee. |
| Winzige Flammenfliege |
Sieben auf einen Streich/Nicht Stubenfliegen, Flammenfliegen |
This pet looks quite similar to Gefangenes Glühwürmchen, a rare drop in Zangarmarsh. For the complete Horde chain, read this, and for the complete Alliance chain, read this. |
| Welkchen |
Zum Andenken an Auberdine |
For Alliance, this is a reward from the culmination of rebuilding Darkshore/mourning Auberdine. Read this comment for the full quest series. For Horde, they can simply buy this from Apotheker Furrows. |
| Vashj'ir-Seepferdchen |
Der abyssische Ritt |
Obtained fairly early on in Vash'jir questing, this mount is essential for underwater questing enjoyment. |
| Flusskahn |
Die Wagen - äh, Boote - einkreisen/Die Wagen - äh, Boote - einkreisen |
While not an official mount, driving around on a flashy barge in Thousand Needles is pretty awesome. |
| Zügel des Winterquellfrostsäblers/Pfeife des Gifthautravasaurus |
Wie schnell sie heranwachsen/Sie werden so schnell erwachsen |
These mounts are rewards for taking care of 'baby' cubs/ravasaurs for approximately a month, feeding and playing with them. The process of getting a Frostsaber used to be quite complex, but it's since been simplified into a daily-style rep grind. |
