Relic of the Fang
In WoW Forever, druids no longer just buy Cat Form from the trainer. At level 20 you earn it through a class quest in Moonglade. You meet the Great Cat Spirit, sneak through a barrow full of hostile spirits and bring back three relics. The chain takes about half an hour and you can do it alone.
Quick facts
| Start | The Great Cat Spirit: Mathrengyl Bearwalker, Darnassus (35.2, 8.3) or Turak Runetotem, Elder Rise in Thunder Bluff (76.6, 27.6) |
| Main NPCs | Dendrite Starblaze, Nighthaven (56.2, 30.5); the Great Cat Spirit, southern Moonglade |
| Level | 20 |
| Faction | Both (druids only) |
| Dungeon / area | Stormrage Barrow Den, Moonglade (entrance about 71.8, 61.9) |
| Items | Relic of the Fang, Relic of the Claw, Relic of the Silent Shadow |
| Reward | Cat Form, plus cat abilities (see Rewards) |
Step by step
- Take The Great Cat Spirit from your druid trainer at level 20.
- Go to Moonglade (Teleport: Moonglade) and speak to Dendrite Starblaze in Nighthaven. He is upstairs in the building in front of where you arrive.
- Find the Great Cat Spirit in southern Moonglade, on a hill above the bridge. Skyborne druids get The Great Windborne Cat Spirit instead and talk to the Avatar of Saeyleenan (about 44.0, 73.5). The rest is the same.
- Enter the Stormrage Barrow Den to the east. Just inside the door is a Great Cat Spirit Statue. Click it to get Feline Blessing of the Silent Shadow, a buff that lets you sneak past the spirits.
- Collect the three relics:
- Relic of the Claw: at a cat statue across the bridge, in the middle of the first room
- Relic of the Fang: one level down, in a small room with a statue
- Relic of the Silent Shadow: in the middle of the room below the bridge, by a third statue
- Return to the spirit and turn in. The next quest is Blessings of the Great Cat Spirit (Skyborne: Blessings of the Great Windborne Cat Spirit).
- Report to Dendrite Starblaze in Nighthaven.
- Go home to your trainer with To Darnassus or To Thunder Bluff to learn Cat Form. Warcraft Tavern names this step Back to Darnassus / Back to Thunder Bluff.
Rewards
You learn Cat Form. Sources disagree on which cat abilities come with it:
- Warcraft Tavern: Cat Form, Claw, Prowl and Rip
- Conquest Capped: Cat Form, Prowl, Claw, Shred and Rip
- Zockify: lists only Cat Form
Check your spellbook after the turn-in and visit the trainer for anything missing.
Tips / common problems
- The stealth buff only lasts out of combat. If a spirit sees you, the buff is gone. Shift to Bear Form, kill it and carry on. Conquest Capped gives the buff 5 minutes.
- Relics would not loot in the beta. Guides say a hotfix in October fixed it. If one is still stubborn, keep clicking until the cast bar fills.
- Relics are shared. Conquest Capped reports that everyone can loot their own, so you can do it with a druid friend.
- Skyborne starting point. One guide could not confirm where Skyborne druids pick up the first step. Try your trainer first.
- Cat color. Night elf cats are blue, tauren cats brown and Skyborne cats green. With all five Embrace of the Viper pieces from Wailing Caverns, Cat Form becomes a snake.
