Desolace centaur quests: Gelkis, Magram and the Khans (Classic Era baseline)

Desolace has three warring centaur clans: the Kolkar, the Gelkis and the Magram. Both factions can side with the Gelkis or the Magram, and that choice decides which of the zone's best quests you can do. This guide explains the reputation choice, then goes through every quest each clan offers, from Centaur Bounty up to the level 42 Khan Hratha and the Maraudine Key Fragment.

The choice: Gelkis or Magram

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The Gelkis (earth-worshipping) and the Magram (in the east) are at war. In Classic Era, killing one clan raises your reputation with the other, and you start hated or unfriendly with both. So you pick one clan and farm the other until you reach Friendly [Classic Era baseline]. Every clan quest below needs you to be Friendly and to "maintain your reputation" while you do it.

How to choose: - Gelkis (Uthek the Wise, Gelkis Village, south-west) has more quests, including Ongeku and Stealing Supplies. Its Khan Hratha rewards are mail chest or an off-hand. - Magram (Warug, Magram Village, east) has a target dummy quest and Broken Tears. Its Khan Hratha rewards are a leather belt or a cloak.

Pick the clan whose rewards fit you, then kill the other clan's centaurs to reach Friendly.

The opening quests

Centaur Bounty and the Kolkar

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Before the clan choice, both factions get a Kolkar-bashing bounty that works with either clan:

Quest ID Faction Giver Objective Reward
Centaur Bounty 1366 Horde Felgur Twocuts, Ghost Walker Post 15 Centaur Ears 3,750 XP; Lilac Sash (6780) or Braced Handguards (6784)
Centaur Bounty 1387 Alliance Corporal Melkins, Nijel's Point 15 Centaur Ears 3,750 XP; Ring of Calm (6790)
Khan Dez'hepah 1365 Horde Felgur Twocuts Khan Dez'hepah's Head 3,450 XP
The Kolkar of Desolace 1362 Horde Regthar Deathgate → Felgur Twocuts Talk to Felgur 640 XP

Ears drop from centaur of any clan in Classic Era, so the bounty fits around the reputation grind.

Gelkis quests (Uthek the Wise)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

All of these need Friendly with the Gelkis. They're open to both factions and shareable.

Quest ID Level Objective XP / reward
Raid on the Kolkar 1384 32 10 Crude Charms (Alliance) 2,550
Stealing Supplies 1370 35 6 bags of Crudely Dried Meat 1,350 XP; a choice of 200 Silver Star, Feathered Arrow or Exploding Shot ammo
Ongeku 1373 37 A Draenethyst Shard 2,850
Khan Jehn 1374 37 Khan Jehn's Head (a Magram khan) 2,850
Khan Hratha 1380 42 The Maraudine Key Fragment 4,300 XP; Gelkis Marauder Chain (6773) or Uthek's Finger (6774)

Note: the Stealing Supplies reward IDs are 3463, 3464 and 3465. They're mainly useful for hunters and anyone using thrown weapons.

Magram quests (Warug)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

All of these need Friendly with the Magram. Again, both factions and shareable.

Quest ID Level Objective XP / reward
Assault on the Kolkar 1386 32 Kill 12 Kolkar Centaurs, 12 Kolkar Scouts and 6 Kolkar Maulers (Alliance) 2,550
Broken Tears 1369 33 3 Broken Tears 2,650
Gizmo for Warug 1371 35 An Advanced Target Dummy (engineering) 2,050
Khan Shaka 1375 37 Khan Shaka's Head (a Gelkis khan) 2,850
Khan Hratha 1381 42 The Maraudine Key Fragment 4,300 XP; Magram Hunter's Belt (6788) or Ceremonial Centaur Blanket (6789)

The target dummy is an engineering item. Non-engineers can buy one from the Auction House or skip this quest.

Khan Hratha and the Maraudine Key Fragment

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Khan Hratha is the last quest for both clans. The objective is listed as the Maraudine Key Fragment, with a War Horn Mouthpiece also shown on the quest. Like Khan Jehn and Khan Shaka, it needs the rival clan's khans to be dealt with first.

Reward ID Slot Notes
Gelkis Marauder Chain 6773 Chest (mail) Item level 42, strength-focused
Uthek's Finger 6774 Held in off-hand +5 Stamina, +5 Intellect
Magram Hunter's Belt 6788 Waist (leather) Item level 42, agility-focused
Ceremonial Centaur Blanket 6789 Back Item level 42

The fragment's name links it to Maraudon. For that dungeon, see our Maraudon guide.

FAQ

Can I do both clans? Not easily. Gaining one lowers the other, so most players pick one.

What level should I be? All the quests need level 30. They range from 32 to 42, so plan for about 33–42.

Is the Khan Hratha reward worth it? At level 42 the rewards are solid for their slots.
