Objectives

Kill 12 Durotar harpies. Any type of harpy will suffice.

• Durotar Harpy slain (12)

Description

Gazlowe told me once, "Rezlak. There's one thing you need to know in life, and that's if you want something done well, do it yourself."

I can't deal with losing all our caravans, so I'm just going to take matters into my own hands. Harpies plague our supply routes. If we kill the harpies, the caravans are safe.

Of course, there was one other thing that Gazlowe taught me, and that's "You can get anything done for a price." You in, <name>? Good...I recommend starting in the canyon to the east.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Harpy Wing Clipper]			[Hickory Shortbow]
	[Blemished Wooden Staff]			[Jagged Wing Slasher]

You will also receive:

• 200 XP
• +250 reputation with Orgrimmar
• +250 reputation with Darkspear Trolls
• +250 reputation with Ratchet

Progress

You wouldn't think it from a guy like my boss Gazlowe, but he always seemed to know the score. "Don't be afraid to take that big step," he said.

Harpies won't stop bothering us and the caravans won't stop being attacked unless we do something about it, eh?

Completion

I think I can breathe easy now, knowing that the harpies won't be bothering our supply caravans anymore. And not one moment too soon, either. I hear I'm being sent some fun little toys with the next shipment!

You're pretty good at what you do, <name>, you ought to track down my boss in Ratchet. I'll bet he could find some work for you.

Oh, and don't worry, I wouldn't forget to pay you for the service you provided me.

Notes

Pick up  [1-30] Winds in the Desert from Rezlak as well and you can pick up supplies while you kill harpies to complete both quests.

The harpies are found in two areas. Both areas can be found by going into the canyon that leads to Razor Hill, then turning either right or left midway through the canyon. Either way will lead to Razorwind Canyon, which is filled with harpies: Dustwind Harpy, Dustwind Pillagers, Dustwind Savages, Dustwind Storm Witches.
