During the fight three waves of defias thugs rush the house. I believe it was 3, 4, then 5. It was not a hard fight and if your health gets low cast a shield on yourself and you should be able to get two heals off without them being able to hurt you.

On what level is all these quests soloable (except instance's)

Comment by 4275

I did this solo at level 20 with green gear and 11 points into Holy. I failed it the first time but managed to do it on my second try. I have a few tips:

First, use Retribution Aura. The Defias Raiders don't have a ton of HP, and it will weaken the rest down while you concentrate on one. The first time I tried and failed was with Devotion.

Second, use Consecrate to grab initial aggro on the wave, and use it once or twice more during each fight. Same idea as Ret aura; it will beat all the Raiders down so by the time you get to the last one they will die in 1 or 2 hits.

Third, fight close to Daphne. If you fight close enough to her she will run up and melee with you. Between Ret aura and Consecrate she won't pull aggro, but you could use Righteous Fury just to be safe =)

Finally, bring some Melon Juice. You do get time to drink between waves but your time is limited.

PS - Can't hurt to make sure LoH is up!

Good luck to all =)

The horde equivalent quest is The Second Trial (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=9690).

Comment by 1624

To find her, go to the Deadmines exit and follow the dirt path around back (not inside the cave, around the mountain.) She will be in the orchard, and will walk to the house before the waves start coming. The mobs are lvl 16-18 defias who were pretty easy to defeat, even for this undergeared just-turned-20 palladin.

Tips:

* Use Consecration early and often. It just destroys them, and you get time to recharge your mana after each fight.

* Use Retribution aura, as they hit fast but weak.

* Kill with Daphne - Click on her, then press 'f' to get her target. The mobs will go down much faster if you two are working together.

* Use a board & sword (or mace, as the case may be.) That extra defense and mitigation will come in very handy with all of their small strikes.

I only had to shield once, and I probably could have even healed through that. This should be pretty easy for most people.

Comment by 45512

As stated above, it's a fairly simple tank and spank. Ret Aura, Righteous Fury, Consecration. I had Blessing of Wisdom in there, too. Having done main tank duty in DM a couple of times earlier that day, this was relatively child's play for a Prot spec. All melee, lots of Redoubt and Ret Aura love. Was almost too easy to solo at level 22. No special tactics other than my usual playing style.

One important thing to note is that these Defias will NOT run away when their health gets below a certain point. You *can* Consecrate and Ret Aura them to death without having to chase them all over Westfall.

Comment by Nycteris

I would like to congratulate those who did this at level 20. I guess I suck at playing this class.
I am a protection specced lvl 20 paladin and got killed all three times I did this quest. I can deal with the 3 man wave but 4 & 5 always get me.

Comment by 43567

For those new to this chain, make sure you talk to Duthorian Rall in the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind before going to find her. He had a *blue* question mark over his head when I went in, so I never bothered to talk to him. He gives you a book that starts the quest by sending you to find Daphne.

Comment by 70623

This is the start of an important step for Paladins of the Alliance.

You must Speak with Duthorian Rall and he will give you the Tome of Valor. Read the book and he will give you the next quest. The next step is to go to Daphne Stillwell in Westfall. (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=6182)

To get to her you have to go West towards the shore and past Daggerhills. This is the pass in the mountains where you had to kill a bunch of Defias. You have to go up to the exit of the Deadmines and go passed it until you see a house down a slope. Daphne is in the small field in front of the house.

You will have to defend her against waves of Defias. It can be soloed pretty easily, heal Daphne to keep her alive while you dispatch the Defias.

Upon completion, return to Stormwind to the trainer and you will receive your ability to Sense Undead and the shield Bastion of Stormwind (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=9607)

The paladin trainer will then instruct you to go to Jordan Stilwell. He is at the Gates of Ironforge (52,36). He will give you the quest The test of righteousness (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=1653)

This quest is putting you on the path of an important Blue two handed Mace that Paladins can use for a long time: Verigan's fist (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=6953#comments)

A great boost to all Paladins and highly recommended to invest the time to get it.

Comment by 112576

Is there a pre-req for this? My friend a level 21 Draenei Paladin cant seem to get the quest.

Comment by Airslash

The quest begins as soon as you talk to daphne. She will run into the house to grab her gun. In the meanwhile you can hear the defias shout as they approach the house.

The first wave is 3 raiders. You should be able to take them down fast by using the retribution aura combined with consecration. I was using a polearm at that time, but it pays of to have a shield equiped.

The second wave consists of 4 raiders. This time you should use the same tactic, by using the retribution aura combined with the consecration on the ground. However, you need to stay really close to daphne to force her to fight with her sword. Assist her by selecting her and presseing the "f" button. If you attack the same target as her they go down faster.

The third and last wave consists of 5 raiders. Same tactic as the previous wave.

extras:
popping bubble will cause the raiders to attack Daphne instead of you. You can use this as a breather to pick them of Daphne one by one in the last fight. If you attack them fast enough they can't kill her.

You can rest between the waves. use this to keep you mana and health up.

The quest fails once you release your spirit. So you can bring a friend along to ress you once you die. (haven't tried it yet)

Comment by Obolox

Such fond memories. This entire quest line was the most fun I've had playing this game. I soloed everything at around level 20. It was incredibly difficult, but back then Paladins were overpowered and could take 4-5 enemies their own level if played right. The most involved storyline Blizzard has produced. It's definitely worth the challenge, and the adventure.

Comment by g0dslay3r

Really easy, only had to bubble once because Daphne never joined the fight. RA and Consecration made the fight a breeze. Also having SoC made it easier still

Comment by Fonjask

People using Fizzwidget's Levelator (Add-on), this quest is about level 20, and not your current level.

Comment by Thottbot

yeah she has nothing to say to my and im lvl 22

Comment by Thottbot

Talk to Duthorian Rall in Cathedral at Stormwind before talk to her.

Comment by Thottbot

i failed the quest and didnt know what to do and abandened the quest. how do i get it back?

Comment by Thottbot

daphne is in Westfall u know... if u want Verigans fist then follow the coast and u will ind her

Comment by Thottbot

Get to the exit of Deadmines (y'know, the one you take after killing VanCleef and Cookie).

Keep on that hill, and move to south till you see a house on a small banked valley, she lives there.

Coordinates would be 42,88 - I'll check them in a second and edit if necessary.

Comment by Thottbot

Nobody seems to have mentioned it but you can solo this at level 20. Just run back to her and she will attack one of them. Mind you - she will get aggro for it - but heals to full as soon as she goes OOC so just don't let her die fighting. And BoM her. ^^

I did it with no knowledge of what would come and hence didn't even use bubble, saving it for a dire situation that never came. No LoH.

Comment by Thottbot

Someone please help me out with a definite answer to the following:

How can i get Duthorian Rall to re-give quest?

Please, please, please!

Thanks

Comment by Thottbot

This quest is not easy, but very soloable as a lvl 20. Use your bubble-heal early in the first wave, that way your Forbearance de-buff will have time to dissolve so you can do another one.

Make sure you use Daphne, her dps will help you a lot. First thing when each wave is finished, eat and drink up, bandage if you need. There is time to do all that before the next wave comes.

Walk in the Light!

Comment by Thottbot

Its at (41,88)

Find the entrance to the deadmines and follow the path that goes around to the south and its right there.

Comment by Thottbot

If you failed this quest at daphne, abandon it and talk to her again....you do not have to go back to the guy at the cathedral. Hope this helps some of you that are having trouble.

Comment by Thottbot

I'm a 25 Ret Pally (I was a twink at 19 so not everything will be just as easy for you), and i'm flying to IF to turn the quest in as I write this. This is how you get each piece:

The first section, where you have to defend Daphne Stilwell from the Defias is not too hard, and not too easy. It's really yourself that you have to look out, since she has a very good amount of hp, and regains it after each 'wave'.

For the Whitestone Oak Lumber in Deadmines, I can solo until the ogre, but since you need ranged to pull him, I suggest a group. You just have to get to the goblins, and they should drop it the very first kill.

For the Jordan's Refined Ore Shipment, you have to go to Loch Modan, in Thelsamar, into the house with the Tailoring Supplies guy on the porch. Talk to Bailor Stonehand, and take his quest. Then go Northeast across the lake until you start seeing the ogre encampment. Go in, and keep going until you reach a tree with the item you need under it. Grab it and finish the quest for the shipment.

For the Smithing Hammer, Get to Southshore (Run there if you do not have the flightpaths), and then run east along the road until you reach Silverpine Forest. Follow the road up the hill and into SFK. You may need a group for this, but since you're a pally, you might have Turn Undead.
See if you can sneak upstairs and past as many pats and mobs as possible. You will arrive into a courtyard. Jump out and run to the stables to get the Hammer (On a log inside).

For the Kor Gem, you have to go to Auberdine, in Darkshore. Take the boat in the Wetlands, and talk to Thundris Windweaver. He'll give you a quest. Run south until you reach Ashenvale, and then run west when you reach a path. Keep running northwest from there until you reach the Instance, and swim under the little barrier. Pop up in the otherside, and kill the Naga in there one by one until it drops. Return to Thundris, and then Return to IF to complete the quest.

Comment by Thottbot

so how do you get this if you're a draenei paladin?

Comment by Thottbot

I just became a lvl 20 Draenei Pally, so I wanted to do this quest series. There is actually no Pally trainer in Exodar who'll give you a lead tho this quest. I just went to the Cathedral in SW where I talked to the guy with the blue questionmark and got the quest no prob.

Comment by Thottbot

I'm a lvl. 36 Paladin, and i tried to complete that quest when i was, i think, lvl 22-23, but i failed.
I gave up the quest since both Daphne and the Pirest wudn't talk to me. How can i repeat that quest at the lvl. i am right now?

Can anyone help me?

Comment by Thottbot

im a human pala, and after reading i went to IF, and i found Tiza on the first floor (second floor for americans =) she gave me the book...and the quests can begin....

Comment by Thottbot

I am reading people find this quest relatively easy at level 20 - saying that they soloed it without much difficulty.
I would like to congratulate those. I am a lvl 20, protection specced paladin and I died everytime I tried this quest. I can deal with the 3 men wave, but 4 & 5 men wave always get me.
I guess I must suck at playing this class.

Comment by Thottbot

Did this as a retribution paladin, lvl 20.
Can't really understand why people fail this quest, my game crashed while I was on the second wave, and I still managed to complete it (had to pop a shield+heal though), so it should really be no problem.

(While I was starting up my game again, my Retribution Aura with Righteous Fury kept aggro, so Daphne didn't lose any HP at all :>)

Comment by Thottbot

I just did it at lvl 28 and she talked to me and the quest was easy.

Comment by Thottbot

do u have to complete deadmines b4 u can get to her...and if not i tried to find her without going into deadmines and all i ran into was a bunch of mountains

Comment by Thottbot

TO find Daphne

Skirt around Moonbrook head south and watch out for the tents of the brother hood. head up the hill into dagger hills past the exit of Deadmines just over the ridge you will find her and her house.

a couple of tips to deal withthe mobs

take healing potion and or mana potion to help you heal enough between attacks use if your lower lvl theres no shame in a scroll of protection or other buff to help beef ya stats up.
As a protection spec Pally I found using seal of crusdaer then hit consecration spell, up lvl's of damage using seal of rightouness and unleashing it just before it runs out of time. By repeated use of Consercration spell and dealing with each mob member at a time. I foudn time i got to the last member of the mob they were so weakened that was easy to deal with and had enough time to use a potion to re gain mana for the next mob attack.

hope this is some help to any that seeking an edge

Comment by Thottbot

all u gotta do is go past the exit to the deadimes (no u dont have to run deamines to get to her) and jus talk to her and then there will b 3 waves...3, 4 , 5 .... and then she walks n2 the orchard and tlk to her agian once the yellow ? pops up above her head and then jus tlk to sum1 n SW and u will get sense undead and a green sheild

Comment by Thottbot

when i talk to rall it says im completing a quest and when i press complete quest it says Tomb Of Valor failed: duplicate iteam found

what do i do? please respon

Comment by Thottbot

If you are getting that message Duplicate Item Found, just read the book!

Comment by Thottbot

musluks directions are spot on :)

Comment by Thottbot

Did the quest as a level 20 retribution pala with medium gear. No healing pots. only healing I did was lay on hands at last wave of 5 Defias. just stay close to her. and try to fight the same ones as she does. To find her you go past Moonbrook on the ocean side. Then past 2 defias camps, when you come to the third camp you turn left right before, and walk up between the mountains. alot of highwaymen there. walk up to the Deadmine exit. walk past the exit and along the ridge. then you will come to here little farm.

Comment by Thottbot

Very very easy with protect lvl 20 pally with some enchants eg 50health on chest. Rmember to keep yourslef healed up and you can aslso use blessings and heals on Her to keep her alive.

Comment by Thottbot

Comment by Thottbot

Comment by Thottbot

I have the same problem as Jailz. What should I do?

Comment by Thottbot

lol i jus took this quest at lvl 51 and it was yellow so i did it and i got little over 7k for talkn to her and then over 3k for protecting her, which was fairly easy jus consecrating the ground

Comment by Thottbot

Level 20 Protection paladin, soloed, medium difficulty. Theres three waves.. I suggest you bring food and water..Make sure to use righteous fury and buff the woman before battle.

Comment by Allakhazam

You must survive 3 waves of attacks I believe before this is completely over.

Comment by Allakhazam

You have to survive 3 waves of attackers, all of mine were level 18--but they had fairly low hit points, so they go down quicker.

The first wave has 3, the second 4 and the 3rd 5. I was able to solo this at 20, so it's really not that bad at all. I didn't even have to heal mid fight on the first wave. The second wave I healed once, The third wave I healed a few times, had to cast invulnerability (which makes them all swarm Daphne) and drank a potion. 5 mobs beating on you is tough to last through with out that 8 seconds of invulnerability.

I didn't need Lay Hands, which surprised me.

I used Devotion Aura, Blessing of Power and kept Seal of the Crusader up the whole time. Keep in mind that as of this writing, the SoC bug is still active (damage per strike doesn't reduces as the Seal's description indicates), so it may be more difficult in later patches.

Good luck Brother and Sister Paladins!

Comment by Allakhazam

I got it on my 3rd try but didn't die once. I really had to use all my spells that i could, healing her and myself. making sure i had seals and stuff on. i was level 20. i was getting frustrated but it ended up ok.

Comment by Allakhazam

Got it on my first try solo as a lvl 20 retribution specced pally.

Just keep up with consecration, and judge.
I used crusader, judge, righteousness, stun, command judge. and repeated.
That way you can get max damage. Keep Righteous Defense ready incase you can't aggro them right away, but if you've got Righteous Fury active you should be fine. I had aura of retribution active, and blessing of might.
Remember to eat and drink between waves. If you aren't sure about doing this easy quest on your own, it wouldn't hurt to bring a friend.

Aerreth lvl 20 Pally - Kirin Tor

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest was pretty much impossible at level 20, but it was trivial at level 22. My suggestion: Wait until you're level 22 and then do it, you don't excactly need the rewards right away anyway.

Comment by Allakhazam

To restart it you just abandon the quest and talk to the women in the field not the guy in stormwind.

Comment by Allakhazam

can someone plz give coordinates for me? or something useful report where can I find her?

Comment by Allakhazam

HOW DO U RESTART IT?

Comment by Allakhazam

it is actually quite easy 2 defend daphne.. my pally did it with only blessing of protection, and without healing her. make sure you use seal of fury before each wave hits, and hit the first defias before he/she reaches daphne and she will not get more than one person's aggro at a time.

Comment by Allakhazam

Have just finnished this at lvl 20. I must say it was like very difficult, and when i saw the 3rd and last wave of em, i tought "oke, i'm done"(3x lvl 18 and 2x lvl 17), but i managed to run around, heal myslef, heal her(she gives nice dmg), used 1 pot, used belssing of protection and Taskmaster axe to help her in dps, but i've been mostly in healing.

Comment by Allakhazam

How do you restart the quest?

Comment by Allakhazam

If your level 20 just bring a friend. Both of you should be able to aggro all the Defias in every wave, even the last one, and keep them off of her. Its how i did it.

Comment by Allakhazam

Okay, this really isn't that difficult.
To start, I'll say I'm prot specced. I did this with ease at level 20.

Righteous fury should always be on you. I had BoK on, but BoW would have worked too.

As soon as the group gets to you, pop Consecration. This is important, as it gets ALL of their attention on you (due to RF). Keep up the sword / mace / axe and shield, and block block away (they don't get behind you).
Remember to pop the big damage combo (Seal of Crusader, Judgement, Seal of Righteousness).
Drink and eat between waves, and repeat. I didn't even think to buff the NPC, and NEVER had to heal her, as she never even got touched.

Real easy with the right approach.
I'm quite shocked that none of the descriptions mentioned Consecration.

Oh, btw, Ret aura.

Comment by Allakhazam

Bugged for me the first two tries...they never shouted and never came, but DID appear. Had to call a GM and I tried the next day.

Come back online, try once, get through the first 2 waves easily, then the 3rd wipes out the woman and I have to start over. I read on here that as long as you get all of them attacking you, you're fine and all you really have to do is heal. So I tried that approach, and all you really do is go out to meet the first one that comes, and then focus on whichever one the Woman picks next. All the while basically all you're doing is healing yourself.

Comment by Allakhazam

This quest is possible to solo as a lvl 20 pally.

I got it on the 2nd try, almost had it on the first go, but ran out of enough mana to heal myself at the end of the last wave.

Have a healing potion on hand for near the end. Drink between the waves, and don't heal Daphne, just try and keep aggro on yourself, and you'll live through it.

Comment by Allakhazam

I was doing the quest, the two first waves down easy but the third never came, then Daphne started to lose life and die, I went up hill and there was the third wave only that when I target them I got the message “To far to attack that target”, I had to wait for Daphne to respond and do it all over again, :s

Comment by Allakhazam

Soloed this as a level 20.

Used:
Retribution Aura
2H sword
Lay on Hands
Divine Shield
1 mana potion

There was enough time between the waves for me to drink and bandage, so that was okay.

Daphne does more damage than I do, I think, so I pulled the aggro w/ Seal of Fury and healed myself constantly. Daphne did most of the work. I think I only got a few swings per defias.

I did have to resort to the Divine Shield so that I could heal myself, and then Daphne. And I did use Lay on Hands with a different wave.

Strange that this is listed as lvl 25, but the gathering quests after this are 22.

Either way, get it done before you go into Deadmines, or you'll be pissed and have to go in again.

Comment by Allakhazam

I did this today, the 31 of December, and had a strange thing happen. Two waves came, and we handled them fine. Before the third wave came, she said we won, meet me down by the orchard. She wandered around like normal, with a grey question mark over her head. I had to abandon quest and restart it. Second time around, the quest worked fine. This is a very buggy quest, it seems. I had to burn lay on hands and divine protection on the third wave, btw.

Comment by Allakhazam

This was really easy i was level 21 with 1 blue and all greens just cast righteous fury on urself and if they attack her use righteous defense i used LoH 1 time 1 Bandaid and 1 milk and 1 mushroom it was easy all in all

Comment by Allakhazam

I had 3 waves. First had 3, but next 2 had 5 each. I died ther first time and Daphne did as well. I tried to restart the quest, but it wouldnt reset, unless you log out and redo. Then they come fast. Her gun was OK, but don't rely on her. I have talked to a few players and the levels (mobs)vary, 17 to 19, basically random. It's a hit or miss, but leads to some nice xp and items for your levels.

Comment by Grimdy

First, if you fail she will respawn and you can pick up the quest from her, may take several min for that as of Classic-Beta results.

A Lvl 20 Ret Pally I was able to do this, barely.

Ate/drank between fights. Retribution aura up, with Seal of Command for judging. Stun the first mob in waves 2 and 3. You MUST work with Daphnie to focus fire. You're safe to use Divine Protection when there are 2 mobs left. Had to use Lay on Hands to live through wave 3 at the end when 3 were still up and I was OOM and low health. Don't be afraid to RUN AWAY IN A CRICLE and let her finish for you. ;)

Comment by Lagerx

At level 20 I was ALMOST able to do it with a Consecration build. Maybe with potions etc, but I had to get help.

Comment by xLunacyx

After finishing she started teleporting onto the roof of the house. It was funny.

Comment by maduk

Did this as a 21 Ret on HC.
Gear was just normal quest gear, engi helmet and executioner sword from vendor.
Buffs only Int and Stam but still doable without (740hp,186AP) .

This is really easy as engi. Used 2 bombs, a target dummy and one lesser healing potion.

Wave 1 with the 3 mobs (lvl18) is pretty easy. Let Daphne aggro one mob from you. She can handle it, but not more.
Wave 2 (4 mobs) aggro them, let daphne take one mob and then throw some dynamite or a bomb on your 3 mobs (as early as possible, so its ready for the next wave again). You should be able to power through these. You can stun the last one to get a heal off if you need or use a potion.
Wave 3 (5 mobs) drop a target dummy (the most important step) near you and daphne so it picks every mob up. The dummy will hold pretty long aginst them, so kill one mob and attack another one. When your dummy is almost dead, your bomb/dynamite CD should be up again, throw it to aggro the remaining 3-4 enemies and just kill them. Heal, LoH or DivProtection if needed (remember that using a immunity will make every enemy attack daphne).

Comment by Ketterling

EZ mode on a pally - be an engineer with 85+ skill, and drop a target dummy on the final wave. Makes this trivial.

Comment by madmurdock

At all the engi comments:

Dont worry, this works without this special profession.

#wave 1; 3 non elites
#wave 2; 4 non elites
#wave 3: 5 non elites

Be at least lvl 21 for the better healing potion and use your bubble during the last wave to heal up. The last wave made me reveive 1200 damage, so obviously any normal geared player without buffs dies, if you dont heal against it. I had the quest pants from DM and some cheap str/sta greens for around lvl 15 I bought from the AH. Having Conc specced probably will help a lot, but I had a pure ret spec at this point with single target dmg only. It worked too. The most important thing is to regain health and mana during the waves by eating and drinking. Daphne very likeley will tank one of the mobs, so you dont have to fight all of them at the same time. I still had LoH unused after the quest, so it really should be possible for everyone.

Now, they'll be coming again soon, I'd wager, so get yourself ready.

I've got myself a gun in the house. I'll grab it and be ready to help you out, but for the most part, you're on your own.

I've no idea how many they'll send, but I'm sure it'll be more than the few they sent earlier.

Ask the Light for whatever blessings you can because... did you hear that? I think they're coming.
