Lar'korwi and U'cha — Torwa Pathfinder's hunting quests (Classic Era baseline)

Torwa Pathfinder, a tauren hunter camped near where the Tanaris road enters Un'Goro Crater, gives a set of hunting quests to any class and both factions. Three of them form the Lar'korwi chain, which ends with you summoning and killing the crater's alpha ravasaur. Two more send you after the crater's gorillas and their leader, U'cha.

Is this the druid quest?

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

No. This is the most common mix-up about Torwa. Every quest on this page is listed as Side: Both, with no class requirement. Torwa also gives a separate druid-only chain at level 52 (Torwa Pathfinder, Bloodpetal Poison, Toxic Test and A Better Ingredient). That chain is covered on our druid class quests 30–60 page. If you're a druid, you can do both sets from the same NPC.

Torwa Pathfinder (NPC 9619) is listed as level 51, and he starts and ends every one of these. XP values are the Classic Era baseline, so Forever's numbers may differ.

The Lar'korwi chain

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The three Lar'korwi quests run in order: Fare, then Scent, then Bait. Torwa's story is that Lar'korwi, the dominant male ravasaur, once hunted down his brother for stealing meat from a kill. Your plan is to provoke the beast in the same way, then lure it with its mates' scent.

1. The Fare of Lar'korwi (4290)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Find the carcass of Lar'korwi's latest kill and take a Piece of Threshadon Carcass. The quest text says Lar'korwi watches its kills from the forest, so expect company. The carcass is a clickable object rather than a mob drop. Players usually find it in the jungle north of Torwa's camp.

2. The Scent of Lar'korwi (4291)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Bring Torwa 2 Ravasaur Pheromone Glands. Torwa tells you the ravasaur eggs are to the west of his camp. Walking up to a nest provokes the guarding females, Lar'korwi's mates, and they drop the glands. Lar'korwi Mate at level 49–50. Torwa warns that every nest you approach will bring out its mother, even after you've got your glands. Pull them one at a time, and avoid stepping on several nests at once.

3. The Bait for Lar'korwi (4292)

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

Torwa gives you Torwa's Pouch, his scent mixture. Take the meat to a small trail into the mountains north of his camp. He says you'll recognise it from the bones of huge creatures. Place the meat, rub the mixture on it, and Lar'korwi appears. Lar'korwi at level 56, the highest level on the page, and that's why this step is level 56 even though it only needs 48.

This step can't be shared, so each player in a group needs their own pouch and meat. If you group up, take turns summoning. Bring your cooldowns. Lar'korwi is a normal (non-elite) mob, but a level 56 ravasaur hits hard for a level 50–52 character. Players report it also calls in nearby raptors.

Hand Lar'korwi's Head to Torwa and choose one of:

Both are bind on pickup with item level 56. That makes them solid upgrades for a hunter, shaman or warrior at this level, and they hold up for tanks too.

The apes: The Apes of Un'Goro and The Mighty U'cha

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

The Apes of Un'Goro (4289) asks for 2 Un'Goro Gorilla Pelts, 2 Un'Goro Stomper Pelts and 2 Un'Goro Thunderer Pelts. Torwa points you to the great apes in the north of the crater. Those are the same gorilla caves near Marshal's Refuge you'll pass through for Chasing A-Me 01. It needs only level 47, so pick it up on your first visit.

The Mighty U'cha (4301) sends you back to that gorilla cave for U'cha's Pelt. U'cha is the huge red ape that leads them. Torwa says you've been to the cave before, so this quest follows on from the apes quest in practice. U'cha sits deep in the cave with gorillas around him. Clear a path, pull him on his own and fight near the exit. Bring a friend if you're under 54. The reward is a choice of weapon:

Suggested order

Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.

1. On arrival (level 48+): pick up The Apes of Un'Goro and The Fare of Lar'korwi from Torwa as soon as you enter from Tanaris.
2. North loop: collect the pelts while you do the Marshal's Refuge quests, including A-Me 01 in the same caves.
3. West loop: do The Scent of Lar'korwi alongside the egg and raptor objectives in the west of the crater.
4. Around 52–54: do The Bait for Lar'korwi and The Mighty U'cha. Both are the hardest fights here, so do them last or bring a partner.

That keeps all five quests to two trips through the crater, and the five hand-ins give over 29,000 XP between them at baseline values.

FAQ

Is the Lar'korwi chain druid-only? No. It is listed for any class and both factions. The druid-only quests from Torwa are a different chain; see druid class quests 30–60. [Unconfirmed]

Why can't I share The Bait for Lar'korwi? It is listed as not shareable, because each player needs Torwa's Pouch and their own meat. [Unconfirmed]

Is Lar'korwi elite? He is listed as a normal level 56 NPC, not an elite. [Unconfirmed]

Where is Torwa? Near the entrance to Un'Goro from Tanaris, in the east of the crater. Our Un'Goro Crater guide shows the zone layout.
