Where is the Call of Fire path in WoW Forever?
By George In The Meta ·
Short answer: there are two hidden paths in the shaman fire totem quest. The first climbs to the shrine where you fight the fire elemental: on the Horde side it starts at a carved stone in Durotar at about 36.5, 57.5, and as a dwarf it starts at a similar pillar off the road in Loch Modan at about 31.7, 58.3. The second is the dwarf's final hand-in, and that's the one that catches you out. The quest says to head down the path back to Dun Morogh, but there's no path on the Loch Modan side. You have to go back through the South Gate tunnel into Dun Morogh, and the path starts just before the tunnel, at about 86.7, 47.9. It was a pain in the ass to find.
Where is the Horde Call of Fire shrine path?
In Durotar, near the Barrens border. This is the climb to Telf Joolam's shrine, where you drink the Fire Sapta and fight the fire elemental. Look for a grey carved standing stone at the foot of the hill, at about 36.5, 57.5. That stone marks the path on how to go and hand it in.
From the marker, you follow the path around to the right. There's a very narrow path that's slightly lighter in the middle and dark on the edges, and it takes you all the way up. It's about 40 seconds on foot to the top, at 38.6, 57.6.
At the top you'll find Telf Joolam, with another carved stone like the one at the bottom behind him.
On the Horde side, the quest starts and ends with Kranal Fiss on a hill north of the Crossroads in The Barrens, so there's a fair bit of walking between the two zones.
Where is the dwarf Call of Fire shrine path?
In Loch Modan, up to Braldir Ashmantle. It's the same stage as Telf's climb, and the path starts at the same kind of pillar, off the road at about 31.7, 58.3. It's a much more obvious path that takes you up there, with the runes along it as well. It's a lot easier to stay on once you've found it than the Horde one was.
Where do you hand in Call of Fire as a dwarf?
To Bruegs Kindleborn in Dun Morogh, and this is the hard one. You need his path at the start of the quest and again at the end, and I missed it at the first point too.
The quest text points you the wrong way. Once you've lit the torch at the brazier next to Braldir, Call of Fire says: "You start off down the path back to Dun Morogh in search of Bruegs Kindleborn."
So I was walking around in Loch Modan trying to find it, and there was no path there. The only path I could find was when I went back to Dun Morogh. That's not how the quest tells it. I had to go a different route, from Dun Morogh towards Loch Modan.
How do you get to Bruegs Kindleborn?
Go through the South Gate tunnel. It's the tunnel between Loch Modan and Dun Morogh, and it's hard to see on the map. I think you can come at the path from the Loch Modan side, but then you're going to have to turn and look for it. You still have to pass through the tunnel to get to it, because I didn't see a path on the other side.
It made more sense to come from Dun Morogh. On the Dun Morogh side you come out at the South Gate Outpost, the bunker with the gnome tank outside it, at about 85.5, 50.9.
The foot of the path is a short walk north-east, at about 86.7, 47.9: a snowy slope running up between two rock mounds and the pines. Bruegs is in a cave on the mountain above the outpost, and the path begins behind a farm. The drop into his cave can kill you on low health, so heal up first.
What do you get for Call of Fire?
My dwarf's quest log lists Searing Totem, 1,250 XP, the Fire Totem and the Totem of Charged Flames. It's the quest that unlocks your fire totems.
Have I done both?
Yes. My character list is two different shamans: Totem, my Orc, and Short, my Dwarf. Funnily enough, they're both level 14.
