Tip: To get to Stormwind fast(ish), take the portal to Blasted Lands and fly! :)
Also, you can land ON the Wickerman itself to avoid getting killed.

Dousing the Wickerman will flag you for PvP so "be quick about your business" if you are doing it during peak hours.

Being a mage, I popped Invs. walked behind the wicker thing, doused the the fire and fly off. Hope this helps.

Commento di 514766

you can also take the zep to grom gol and fly there. having the flying broom will help you get out of there a tad faster

The Wickerman is just outside the main gate.

Perhaps its worth noting that you can combine the quest Stink Bombs Away with this one.

Just drop a bomb 25 times and then log out mid-flight.

Once logged in you will be at the Elwynn Forest Graveyard.

Alive i might add.

Commento di Kilre

If a Death Knight, set up a Death Gate prior to throwing the Dousing Agent. You won't enter Stormwind to reach the quest objective so you won't be unnecessarily flagged beforehand. Throw the stuff on the Alliance Wicker Man, click Death Gate, YEAAAAAAAAAH!

This quest, as well as A Time to Build Up are a reference to a verse in the bible found in Ecclesiastes 3. Just to quote the line: "A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;" (Which I only know because it was referenced in the Pern book series.)

this quest might become a nightmare if Alliance are near the gate (and in the mood for easy honnor)

Also sounds like Simon and Garfunkles Turn Turn Turn...

I have some suggestions for those who don't yet have the ability to fly. It may seem like quite a task to get this thing done without flight, but lemme tell you it CAN be done, and I have done it. As both Horde and Alliance.

When doing this quest as an Ally, I noticed that once I got to Lordaeron, most of the activites were laid out so that players were facing the Wickerman. As Horde, we have somewhat of an advantage because all the Ally activities have them facing AWAY FROM the Wickerman, except the one where they throw stuff at it.

So I took my lvl 47 Tauren to Grom'Gol and traveled up the coast to Westfall. I stayed to the south and went east, crossing into Elwynn Forest far south of any actitives, quest sites or guards.

If you look at a map of Ewyn Forest, you will see just below the central range of mountains the sideways-figure-eight-shaped lake, Crystal Lake. It is safe to come north here, just watch for guards when crossing the main road that runs east and west. There are alot of low-level Murlocs in the lake, quite harmless to anyone above lvl 10.

Continue north and when you come to the mountains, go west across the creek and across the road that goes north-south. Watch out for guards on this road.

Once you cross the road, stay close to the edge of the mountains and continue northwest toward Stormwind City. Stay in the foothills as much as possible as you will get quite close to the road as you approach the city. Guards patrol here also. There are low-level Cutpurse mobs near the mountains, but again, they should be no problem.

Follow the mountains and you will come up right behind the Ally Wickerman just outside the city gates. Don't get too close as guards may shoot at you. Most everyone else will be looking the other way. Do your thing and hearth outta there! Good Luck!

I am on Ursin, a PvP server.

Commento di Zuljinn

You can stand far enough away (on a PvE server) to not get flagged by stepping into Stormwind, and douse it. Piece of cake.

** Edit: Also, has anyone else noticed that this is slightly unfair on a PvE server? I've done this daily as both Horde and Alliance, and its definitely easier for the Horde. Granted the trip sucks either way but, the Horde's wickerman is actually IN the Ruins of Lordaeron, so you get flagged when you go in. But the Alliance wickerman is located outside of Stormwind, in Elwynn Forest. I've seen plenty of unflagged Horde just march right up, douse it, and walk off. Unfair!

I play on a pve server and was unable (to complete) the quest ~~without flagging..~~ It kept telling me invalid target

i thought it was not being flagged but today I had the problem again even though i was flagged.

I'm starting to suspect its a loading issue.. i didn't allow time for everything nearby to load (there was a big crowd of people both times).
i'll see if this is the case (I turned my settings down to fair from max lol)

It didn't matter how long i waited. I tried inching closer and that proved to trick.. I was far enough away to use the douser but too far for it to hit.. weird.

Commento di minimagikman

Do not try to fly from UC straight to SW with 310 flying while reading these comments, I just died from fatigue. So, save yourself the repair bill and switch back to wow right now.

Commento di Eliva2009

It's worth mentioning that thanks to Cross Realm Zones you can easily avoid being killed during this quest if you can quickly run a few feet behind the Wickerman to phase out.

Commento di 1048219

I did this quest with a level 20 goblin. It's easy to do with a lower level character, although good timing won't hurt.

1. Make sure you have your Hearthstone set to the Inn you wish to return to at the end of the quest.
2. Take both the "Stink Bombs Away!" and this quest, and do "Stink Bombs Away!" first.
3. Once you complete "Stink Bombs Away!", log off of your account.
4. When you log back in, you will be at the Elwynn Forest Graveyard, which unfortunately is quite a ways away. Make your way to Stormwind, avoiding Alliance guards and cities. It is best to hug Crystal lake and then swing northwest to avoid Goldshire.
5. Once on the road to Stormwind, keep to the right. When you are getting close, go off the right side of the road and when there sneak behind the Wickerman. You will have to go over a few hills to do so.
6. Get directly behind the Wickerman as quick as possible, and when there start dousing. You will die, but if lucky, you'll get it done in one try.
7. If not, run back to your body and try again. Timing is important, do this as quick as possible.
8. Once quest complete, you don't have to go back to your body, just ask to live at the graveyard, and use your Hearthstone to go back to the Inn.

I did the Alliance quest as a level 7 gnome, so I bet getting this quest done as a lower level character is entirely possible.

Commento di 1048609

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I was on my Tauren trying to inch forward and the wickerman disappeared. This left me unable to complete the quest and fairly frustrated.

Commento di HappyBunny

I don't usually do this quest but I gave it a shot on my Rogue today. I think it's worth noting that, as a Rogue with Sotterfugio, you can use the Dousing Agent without initially flagging. Not until you actually throw the Dousing Agent are you flagged.

This confused me at first because the Wickerman isn't a targetable object so I assumed this meant that you merely had to get in range. I found there is a certain point at which your character will begin to channel the Dousing Agent without flagging or unstealthing but won't actually finish the cast because you aren't close enough. The error given indicated that I didn't have anything targeted. It took mustering up enough courage to get right up behind the Wickerman for me to successfully throw the Dousing Agent.

Commento di Marloss

It seems that the method of logging out while on the quest Via le Bombe Puzzolenti! does no longer work, as the Sostanza Ignifuga is removed from your bags upon logging out, so the only way to complete this quest currently is to travel all the way to Stormwind on your own.

Edit: As indicated by the replies below, the Sostanza Ignifuga no longer disappears from your bags when logging out, and it is once again possible to use the method in which you log out while flying over Stormwind while on the quest Via le Bombe Puzzolenti! in order not have to travel so far for this quest.

Commento di Fose

I can confirm the log out method still works. Just tested it on my mage (In case it fails i can teleport to stonard :P) and I was at the elwynn forest graveyard and the Dousing Agent in my bags

Commento di WesTheRanger

I cannot target the Wicker Man is front of stormwind.

How can I target Wicker man?

Commento di QcRoman

The Alliance Wickerman needs a couple of Elites with huge range hooks like the ones guarding the Horde's counter part.

It wouldn't put walls around it like there are in the Ruins of Lordearon but it would make it a little bit more of a challenge than just walking up to it, tossing the dousing agent and hearthstoning out willy-nilly.

Commento di Scrapbookee

Can confirm that the logout method still works. Patch 7.3

Commento di Valentina

Doing the quest while in a raid group, DOES NOT WORK. You won't get credit, so make sure you join a 5 men party if you want to server hop.

Commento di Marky079

So I found another alternative option to get to SW quicker - if not the quickest!

If you have successfully done Pet Battles: Deadmines on any of your toons, talk to Scoppiamana right next to Breanni at the Magical Menagerie in new Dalaran. He will teleport you right next to the Deadmines, then you can just mount from there.

"Always work smarter, not harder."

Commento di VSUReaper

8.0.1 - Logging out while doing the stinkbomb quest still works.

Just talk to Crina Fenlow, then log out once you are done with your stink bombs, profit.

Commento di zinseng

Tip for Druids: You can Dreamwalk and take the portal to Duskwood to save travel time getting to Stormwind.

Commento di Mementh

Somethings funky going on.
i logged out did the quest..
ported to the seal then to silvermoon

And then quests were gone! all holiday quests were missing.

Going to org then using portal there on zeppelin towers did not cause issue but :/

Commento di Paryah

If you can't see the Wickerman outside Stormwind, turn on War Mode.

Commento di Dallmine

10/18/2020 - Dousing agent is disappearing when you log out now. Real shame.

Commento di samljer

the wickerman wasnt visible outside stormwind... so. I went back to orgrimmar, turned on warmode; went back... i still cant see it
i go right to the quest marker with the new 9.0.1 system, nothing, just a bunch of alliance dueling outside.

ridiculous that this is a problem.

edit: went back an hour later as i was passing over going somewhere else, warmode off, it was there...
now the item i need wasnt in my bag, this is stupid.

Commento di R1p0ne0ut

For Horde and patch 10.1.7, take the portal to Blasted lands in Valdraken. Much faster unless you can get a port to Stonard. Then fly to Flamecrest in Burning steps. Puts you very close to SW
