Collect this from the Tordrin Sternblade Hunter trainer behind Northshire. The quest is for those finishing Northshire and heading to Goldshire (Humans’ second area), since it is directly on the way.
Quest Chain:
| Objective | |
|---|---|
| Shhh! We're Hunting Kobolds | Loot a Nibbled on Book from a Kobold in Northshire (starts this quest chain). |
| Book Inventory | Speak to the NPC directly opposite the quest giver to hand in the book. |
| Rascally Rodents | Collect 8 Books by killing Kobolds around Northshire. |
| Mining Consultant | Speak to the NPC standing near the entrance to Northshire Cave. |
| The Big Picture | Slay the new Rare mob spawned inside Northshire Cave. |
| Follow That Kobold! | Return to the Hunter Trainer in Northshire to continue the chain. |
The Quest Chain is intended to be completed alongside the classic Kill Vermin, then Worker Kobolds, then Laborer Kobolds. Hopefully, this neatly coincides with Shhh! We’re Hunting Kobolds with the exit of Northshire.
Once you collect the quest, use the Quest Item ‘Kobold Tracking Kit’ and head over to Goldshire. Once there, use the Quest item to find tracks – should appear as a gold dot on the minimap. Note: If you also have herbalism/mining, those nodes look similar
The Followed Kobold Track Nodes are green smoking piles of dirt found near Goldshire with a near-instant interaction time.
Beware of the nearby Wolves. They are usually level 6, linked to smaller level 1 wolves that can kill you if you’re unprepared. Other mobs nearby include Defias Cutpurse Bandits or Mangy Wolves.
Once you’ve interacted with all 6 Tracks, the quest hand-in is at Goldshire with Marshal Dughan, who is also the hand-in NPC for multiple other Quests throughout Elywnn Forest.
