As World of Warcraft Classic celebrates its monumental 20th Anniversary, veterans and newcomers alike are diving back into Azeroth to experience the game that started it all. And what better way to commemorate this legendary milestone than to take on one of Silverpine Forest's most notorious quests — a mission that not only tests your mettle, but also ties directly into the haunting legacy of one of WoW's earliest and most infamous foes: Arugal.

With WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold now circulating through the economy, players are equipped with the opportunity to relive these iconic moments while gearing up faster, trading more efficiently, and rediscovering the satisfaction of hard-earned quest rewards. And there's no better place to invest your time and gold than in the eerie depths of Silverpine Forest.

Quest Overview

The Forsaken have set their sights on securing the southern human and dwarven lands. Lady Sylvanas, ever strategic and coldly calculating, has placed her trust in Varimathras to lead this charge. But trust among the Forsaken is a rare currency — and it's quickly squandered.

Arugal, once a mage of Dalaran and now a twisted creature of the night, has become a problem too great to ignore. His reckless experimentation with magic has unleashed chaos across Silverpine Forest, especially around the once-defensible stronghold near Shadowfang Keep. To restore order, Lady Sylvanas requires more than blind loyalty. She requires proven strength.

Dalar Dawnweaver, stationed at The Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest, calls on heroes of the Horde to rectify Arugal's mistake. The mission? Kill five Grizzled Moonfurys, the savage beasts that now stalk the region's southern hills with wild abandon.

These dire wolves are no ordinary threat. Mutated by Arugal's curse and driven by primal fury, they represent the chaos that now poisons the forest. It's your job to cull their numbers and bring some semblance of control back to the land.

Quest Details

    Start NPC: Dalar Dawnweaver

    Quest Location: The Sepulcher, Silverpine Forest

    Objective: Kill 5 Grizzled Moonfurys

    Completion NPC: Return to Dalar Dawnweaver

To find the Grizzled Moonfurys, follow the road out of The Sepulcher and head toward the hill at the forest's southern edge. These beasts are known for their size and aggression, and their presence is unmistakable. Be prepared for an intense fight.

Quest Rewards

Completing this quest not only brings peace to the region but also comes with a solid set of rewards—especially meaningful during the WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold economy, where every coin counts.

Here's what you'll earn for proving yourself:

    840 XP (Original WoW Classic)

    1,170 XP (Season of Mastery)

    +100 Reputation with Undercity

    3 Silver and 50 Copper

    Spell Reward: Arcane Intellect

While the coin reward might seem small at first glance, in the world of WoW Classic, silver pieces are the seeds of your future wealth. Combined with strategic investments of 20th Anniversary Gold, even modest quests like these contribute toward your economic and power progression.

Plus, the boost in Undercity reputation can unlock access to essential racial mounts and gear down the line, making this quest a key piece of your Forsaken journey.

Lore Ties and Historical Significance

For long-time players, this questline marks one of the earliest brushes with the dark legacy of Arugal — a character whose name would become synonymous with cursed transformation and necromantic horror. Arugal's fall from a respected Dalaran mage to the monstrous master of Shadowfang Keep remains a chilling reminder of the price of tampering with dark magic.

The Grizzled Moonfurys, corrupted by his hand, are among the earliest enemies that teach players the importance of tactical awareness, preparation, and cooperation in battle — lessons that remain relevant throughout the game, from low-level forests to high-end raid content.

How to Maximize Your 20th Anniversary Experience

With the WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold event in full swing, now is the perfect time to optimize your character's progression. Use your gold wisely to:

    Purchase better gear for quicker quest completions

    Invest in professional materials for faster leveling

    Trade with other players to get potions, scrolls, or spell components

    Train essential class abilities like Arcane Intellect more efficiently

Whether you're building a new character from scratch or boosting an old favorite, quests like Prove Your Worth are foundational to the Classic experience. They remind us of WoW's origins: slow, methodical leveling, deep immersion in the world, and the reward of tangible progress earned through effort, skill, and a little bit of clever gold management.

Final Thoughts

The 20th anniversary of WoW Classic isn't just a celebration — it's a reawakening. It's a call to arms for every player who remembers what it meant to step into Azeroth for the first time, sword (or staff) in hand, heart full of wonder.

Quests like these serve as a nostalgic bridge to the past, but also a rewarding path forward. So gather your potions, polish your gear, and spend your WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Gold wisely. Arugal's cursed legacy still lingers in Silverpine, and the Forsaken need heroes who can prove their worth — one Grizzled Moonfury at a time.
