Even though you pick this up in STV, the quest takes place in the Hinterlands (you get there through Hillsbrad if you haven't already). Any of the Witherbark troll villiages work. If you can't find one 29,58.

To do this quest, kill 20 trolls. There is a 100% drop rate and you'll get a Witherbark Skull. Once you've gathered the skulls (you need 20), right click on the Pike that was given to you to "Use". It'll make a new pike with the heads on it. Go inside one of the villages and right-click on the new pike and you should get your (Complete).

Most of the village areas have at least one patrol, and the way the stones and walls are setup it's hard to see soemtimes. You can easily get a pull of 3 or 4 if you're not careful. Also be advised that the alliance base is pretty close by so on a PvP server keep an eye out for alli as you'll probably see at least one or two while questing.

Quest mobs are 41-43.

I used the camp at 32,59... The have a droprate at 100%, so that won't be any problem...

When u kill the trolls it drop also many Wildvine, which can be sold for 1 gold for each, at my server...

I was a little loss finding the way to Hinterlands. So for first timers you can get there from Hillsbrad Foothills, just northeast of Durnholde Keep, there is a path through the mountains that heads north. Watch out for Aerie Peak (the Alliance city), unless you feel adventurous

I just completed this quest, and when I drove the pike into the ground, it spawned right in my toon. I got stuck and couldn't move. I figured maybe some combat would dislodge me, so I hucked an axe at a nearby troll. Silly me, instead of the troll coming to fight me, he just threw axes back! Being a warrior, my ranged damage is almost nil. It was starting to look grim (haha) when after what seemed like ages the pike despawned and I was free to go kick his toll butt.

There is another village at the co-ordinates 23,58 exactly. There are a lot more there than the other village stated. But be careful, because some alliance ravaged the whole place.

Do this quest with "Venom Bottles".

Kommentar von Kaynos

100% skull drop rate

Kommentar von theslish

What really sucks is I went into an area (at level 42) with 44+ leveled things, killed over 20, got the skulls, then found out I was not in an area compatible with the pike. So, I had to find a village of things around my level, kill a mob, then plant the pike. On the bright side, it was not too far away and i got an easy quest inside.

Kommentar von 104949

The witherbark village is at about 32,70(the most southern lake) their level 40-41 mobs
100% droprate, kill 20 place the grim message inside the town.(inside the walls)

Kommentar von 111093

I managed to solo it as a level 38 rogue quite easily. I concentrated on the level 40-41 scalpers around Zun'watha. To stick the pike in the ground I just used stealth, stayed as far from the remaining mobs as I could and used vanish when I was done.

The skulls you need are these https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=9320 - if you click the link you will see there are a number of NPCs at various levels you can kill. So if you happened to come to the zone when the quest was green/grey, you can kill higher level trolls that are still worth XP and then go back to the lower level troll area to plant the pike.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this quest entirely around one village, which is just south-east of the Alliance outpost Eagle's Nest (around coords 19-21, 55 -- sorry, didn't check while I was there). The mobs around the village (wolves, eagles) are all range 40-42, as are the trolls you have to snuff.

It's not very hard to pull one at a time, even when you're working your way into the center of the village to plant the spear. One useful note : the Zealots don't pull a runner when they get low on health; the other trolls will. And, final bonus, the trolls drop tons of stuff -- each one dropped at least money and a skull (skull drop rate 100%), plus other stuff like mageweave, wildvine, troll sweat, mojo, etc.

I was rested when I did this, and the total kills plus quest XP (3450) was over 10,000.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I placed my pike at 31,57. That camp is the only one it works at. Ignore all these stupid posts.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I doesnt matter which village you place the pike all u have to do ius get the twenty skuls then click on the pike and you will create "Nimboyas laden pike"
then u just walk into a witherbark village so that ur about in the middle and click on the pike in your bag and u will set the pike up.
Done and Done.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Collect 20 Witherbark Skulls in Hinterland at cord 36, 72 and around there
Then comebine with Pike and place at one of two villages
Comepleted

Kommentar von Thottbot

Have you trouble understanding this quest? Does it ever occur to you why it's placed under the zone called "Hinterlands"? Oh yeah, it's because you complete it in Hinterlands.

So for you mons screaming about stuff like: I can't find the place where to put the pile! I don't know where to kill the trolls? Is it in Arathi Highlands?

Read the QUEST LOG. It clearly says: you have to kill 20 witherbark trolls in Hinterlands at the ruins near when you enter Hinterlands a little south. You have to kill 20. The drop percent of the skulls is 100% meaning you only have to kill 20. You enter one of their villages (and again, in Hinterlands, not in Arathi...) and put the stick in the middle of their village and voila! Complete.

Kommentar von Thottbot

While you're in the village in The Hinterlands killing the trolls, don't forget to use the venom bottles on the table - they start a new quest sequence.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The troll camp Hiri'watha is at 32,58 in Hinterlands. You need to gather 20 Witherbark Skulls (I got 1 skull from every whitherbark troll kill) and then right-click Nimboya's Pike which was provided to you from quest giver. Your toon then puts the skulls and pike together and you create Nimboya's Laden Pike. Right-click the pike inside Hiri'watha camp and quest is complete.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found it easier to go to Zun-watha. The coord's are 26,53. Only had to kill a couple mobs to get into the camp. Just make sure to stand inside of it. You don't have to go all the way in, just barely inside the walls.

Kommentar von Thottbot

31.58

Kommentar von Thottbot

Not sure if I got a bug, but it just says "Gather skulls", not how many.

Kommentar von Thottbot

where is the guy in stranglehorn you go to after you plant the pike? I can't find where to go. It says the task is completed but i CAN'T FIND HOW TO END IT, ANY HELP?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Its easier than it seems: go The Hinterlands and follow the path that will take you to Hiri'watha. If you don't have the skulls then here is the place to get them, but be careful as the trolls are grouped together. Once you have all 20 skulls click on the Pike and go between the entrance and turn right. Infront of that table is where the Pike has to go (look at the photo above). Quest completed.
Do not get confused with the Witherbark Village in Arthi Highlands, read the quest carefully. Good luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

22,56 is the easiest village...did this with a 39 affliction warlock. 100% droprate. Piece of cake.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you're looking to get your moneys worth out of this quest you should do it in zun'watha, because you can also find a venom bottle in there that starts a new quest in hillsbrad. So two for the price of one. Seems worth it to me.

Kommentar von Thottbot

When I finally gathered all 20 skulls and placed the pike down the skulls and the pike disappeared... very strange. What a waste of time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I planted the pike at 24,58. Originally I tried it in the corner close to this where I killed one troll. It was inside the walls (actually right next to the corner of 2) and it did give the "requires..."). Don't fret if you see this, just move a little closer to the middle, it will plant.

Oh, and for those not familiar (I had the benefit of having a main who is an alliance char, so knowing where they're located). Follow the road into Hinterlands, and when the mountains break to your right, just proceed down walking along the side of the mountains. You won't agro the alliance from Aerie Peek. Might want to check for wandering gaurds, made easier for me by being a hunter, so I could use humanoid trackign there.

The only thing that remains, is to walk around (don't go to) Featherbeard's Hovel, and then it's just getting threw wolves, for the most part to the first troll camp.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Why can't I see on map where it is?
cus I don't now where hinterlands is!

Kommentar von Thottbot

just look south of plague lands you can get there by targetting hillsbrad and behind durnholde keep is a path whit 2 lvl 40 eagle mobs good luck

Kommentar von Thottbot

Lvl 41 warlock - did this quest this morning, after finally figuring out I was in the wrong place. It's not the Witherbark villages just south of Hammerfall (I didn't read well enough at first and wondered why I didn't get any skulls.) The run from TM and north of Durnholde Keep was fairly easy, but then again I was on my Felsteed so I could run through/by the griffons and the wolves.

Aside from having one NE Druid decide I shouldn't be there and killing me once, the quest was easy. I got those Venom bottles to start the next quest off the table, just like the others said, right around 22,55 area. You'll have to kill a couple Trolls that are hanging out by that table.

Kommentar von Thottbot

=== How to do this Quest ===

You get this quest @ STV. Accepting the quest will give you a quest item. Pike!

You now have to head to Hinderlands. To get there, you need to fly to Hillsbrad Foothills, head to 84,32. There you will see a little path that brings you up the mountain.

After getting to hinderland, you can see a village of trolls at 36,66. That's where it drops the skull. Any trolls will drop a skull with 100% drop rate. So you only need to kill 20.

After you get 20, right click the pike and it will put those 20 skulls onto the pike.

Important: Now you gotta plant the pike anywhere near 24,58. All you need is go inside the wall of that mini village and "use the pike". Complete!

Return STV for 3450 exp '.'

Very easily done as a 41 frost mage.

Kommentar von Thottbot

AOE whole village as a 46 fire mage was funny lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just thought this was funny - when I place the pike the quest glitched and "melded" my toon with the pike. I was immobile but able to cast and look around. I quickly summoned an Eye of Kilrogg and got this screenie...

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c111/cam1745/verygrim2.jpg

It does not interfere with completing the quest and when the pike disappears you are released, so don't sweat opening a "stuck" ticket.

Kommentar von Thottbot

OK. For those who want to skim pass the BS. The quest log says gather the skulls and place the pike in A Whitebark village. Either Hiri'watha or Zun'watha. I chose Zun'watha. Lvl 40 Hunter soloed this easy.

The quest does not say to get 20 skulls...when you mouse over the pike...the description says to get 20 skulls.

The coords are correct for Zun'watha. :) And directions from the one who has ally toon is best advice too.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Level 38 a bit low for this quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This quest was VERY easy. They dropped almost every time. It just takes i little while to get there from Tarren Mill without a mount... :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

maybe they changed the quest or something, but i went with my 41 rogue and rarely could i get one of those dang trolls alone. of course i was at the Hiri'watha place (i probably spelled that wrong) so i could get the venom bottles quest, so maybe the other troll place is easier, but i did die quite a bit of times because i couldn't aggro just one monster at a time... would probably still be trying to do it if a 45 hadn't come along and killed everything. just be prepared!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Did that quest solo as 43 lock. Pull one at a time, they all drop skulls.Once you are 20 they dont drop anymore.Place skull on pike( right click pike from bag) send VW inside village, get in and use howl of terror.Plant spike and get out quick or you get the 5 agros on you. Go far enough to leave combat. et voila.Do this quest after you have rested as you get more xp. And its bloody good grinding, particularly if you are doing first aid and alchemy, cause of the good drops.Not for the faint heart, and be at least a level 41 before you atempt solo.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The drop rate was 100% for me. I got all my skulls in about a half hour.

Kommentar von Thottbot

so... I got the skulls, went to a village, planted the laden pike, and... I'm stuck! My character is impaled on the pike and can't move. Anyone else have this problem?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I had an interesting thing happen to me. I placed the staff as fast as I could to avoid getting ganked. Then, due to a collision error, I could only stand IMPALED on the staff as bloodthirsty trolls hacked through my poor body.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got impaled too. Wish I had thought to cast Eyes of the Beast and take a screenshot from my pet.

Fortunately I had already cleared the camp and my hearthstone was ready.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those who don't have coordinates and don't know how to get to Hinterlands: Hillsbrad foothills, behind Durnholde Keep to the east, there is a little path by the mountains that takes you there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have the skulls and found where to plant the pike. But the only problem is that i can't find the pike where do i get.. It's not in my back either...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Thanks for the post by BallsofFire, it helped greatly!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So... there's no horde village here?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

For some reason i couldnt plant the spike at first...but after a few mins i was able too. If you arnt able...give it a few mins or try different areas of the small village.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ok, after u place the first pike there is going to be another one put on ur bags automatically. so plz make sure u check ur bags so u can place the second pike then the quest will be completed. the horde town is called revantusk village is all the way to the right of ur map . btw if u happen to have the quest whiskey slim's lost grog it is very easy to do. it was red for me at level 44. when i was on my way to the horde town to get fp i noticed this bottles on the floor...please pick those up because that is what u need to complete that quest in particular. the turtles surrounding the bottles are harmless unless provoked. hope this helped. gl

Kommentar von Allakhazam

where exactly i can put the pike?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

XP Given: 3450

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you read the Pike item, it says you need 20 skulls, not 10.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

First, this quest is not too hard if you are lvl 40 or higher, but I had never been to The Hinterlands before and let me tell you, the path is not obvious. I confused these Witherbark trolls with the ones south of Hammerfall.

Get to Tarren Mill and then walk south-east towards Durnholde Keep. The "not-so-obvious" path to the Hinterlands begins just behind the keep (north of the Keep). It's just grass at first but as you head north it will turn into a normal path. There are two giant birds that you can sneak around to gain access to the path, I killed them and they didn't drop anything interesting.

Eventually you will discover the Hinterlands. Don't stay on the path too long, you don't want to head into Aerie Peak if you aren't Alliance. Just south-east of Aerie peak is the Witherbark village called Zun Watha. I walked right in after killing the trolls and it still didn't show onthe map. There is another village (Hiri' Watha) further on but this one will do fine. Plenty of trolls, easy enough to kill and get your 20 skulls fast. Funny thing is that the skulls didn't trigger a counter so keep an eye on your count and when you get 20, click on either the skulls or the Nimboya's Pike in your inventory (I forget which) and then it will create the Pike that you have to place. Walk just inside the village and click on the newly created Pike and it will complete the quest, then you are off to see Nimboya as stated in the quest details.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i think this quest is broken

had all 10 skulls and for some reason, i couldn't attach them to the pike.

Has any one else had this problem?

Im on Sargeras btw.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There are TWO pikes. The one you get from the quest giver and the one you make after attaching the heads. With every char I have done quest with, the original spike was in a slot of my bag and just a plain pointy thing. After clicking to add the heads, it moves to the first open slot and then looks like a pointy thing with some colored things hanging off of the top. So yes there are TWO pikes. The original and the one you make. This is a lot easier to see when your bags aren't full of junkola.

What &%#¤ pike, I cant get the pike!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Gather their skulls and drive my pike into the ground at one of their smaller villages, Hiri'watha or Zun'watha.

Hiri'watha is at aprox 31.58
Zun'Watha is at approx 24.56

planted mine in Hiri'Watha in middle of their camp by the roasting boar

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not bad at all for a 39 mage. died twice, once when i alt-tab'd to write this, lol. worst thing is all the alience gankers on pvp. it IS 20 skulls, but if you can handle lvl 42 mobs, your fine.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

did this at lvl 38, im a druid :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well here are the coords for those that don't like to read.

Zun'watha
22,55

Hiri'watha
32,60

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Think the info 2 postings below this is slightly misleading. There is only one spike you need to plant and you don't get another as the quest is complete with one. Remember to get the green poison bottles, they are in the first village (you only need to go to one village) called Zun'Watha. This will start a chain of quests that will take you through to ZF and back to the Hinterlands. Although the text above does not say it, but it does on the quest log, you need 20 skulls and as far as I could figure it is 100% drop rate and they will continue dropping after you have 20 so keep a vague eye on how many skulls are in your bags.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got stuck inside the Pike when I planted it (lol). Waited a few minutes for the effect to go away and it did not. I could still cast spells tho so I hearthed out and that fixed it. Just wondering if this is a one time bug or is that supposed to happen?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There's also a set of poison bottles near one of the walls of the first village you come by (23, 54 village) get that and it's a new quest to turn in. On my way to Tarren Mill so not sure how much exp I get, but for level 43, it's yellow. =)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Very Simple Way:

go to 22,55. kill 20 of the humaniods and you will have 20 skulls (100% drop) then right click the pole thingy in ur inventory and go to the camp where the fire is and right click it again.

Fun trivia: completed this quest today on Classic, by bad luck my character was RIGHT on the spot the Pike is scripted to be planted, which resulted on me getting stuck / impaled by the Pike without any way to move.

Luckily the Pike despawn after a few minutes, so just "hang in there" or use your HS.

Kommentar von squiretoad

By the way, if you're Horde, consider running the roads way over to the East, to that troll village on the coast. It has flight points, stable masters, an inn, all sorts of stuff. Be careful: high level wolves (up to 48), invisible wolves, and a troll village near a bend in the road that you should bypass. But getting there makes it easy to fly back to Tarren Mills and turn in that venom. There are lots of quests at that Revantusk Villaqe too, but higher level.

Kommentar von xLunacyx

I got stuck inside of the pike when I placed it, had to hearth out.
