The Rethban Gauntlet

A level 22 quest for the Alliance, from level 20.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Enter the Rethban Caverns, reach the first fork, and return to Yorus Barleybrew within the time allowed.

You must not die and release your spirit.

Find the place the quest sends you to.

Description

I call my challenge the Rethban Gauntlet. To pass the trial, all you must do is enter the Rethban Caverns, to the first fork, then return here. Easy! Except there are a few wrinkles...

You have to return within an hour.

There are whole heaps of Redridge Gnolls in the way.

Before you start, you have to take a swig of my family's signature drink: Barleybrew Scalder!

So what do you say? The Rethban Caverns are in the foothills north of Lakeshire. Are you ready to run the Rethban Gauntlet?

Rewards

Experience: 1,300

When you come back

Time is wasting, ‹name›. If I were you, I'd get going...

When you hand it in

You made it! Well done! Three cheers for ‹name›!
