After 2hrs of cutting 55 trees was able to find this @ location 70.89, 30.64 in Gorgrond lvl 100 area

Comment by 1389220

I found him at 60, 20 just outside Broken Horn Village. Be careful its full of 100 Elites.

Seems the blue quest area is only a vague indicator. Any medium sized lumber will do.

Comment by Deviagrona

Got mine at 36.01 34.94 took like ten mins =P

Comment by ironpepe

@62,23 (Broken Village) - Dont bother going anywhere else, i farmed the quest zone for half hour, got nothing. 2nd tree from the Broken Village area, and got it. It seems to work for 99% of the players :) And of course it DOES NOT work with Small timber. Only Timber (the medium one).

Comment by 1402333

behind the everbloom dungeon there is a big forest full of lvl 100 mobs. i saw so many "timber" there. other places only have large and small timbers. go there for timber only.

for me npc spawns 4th or 5th timber

Comment by cerebrus

I got him from the 2nd tree in Broken Horn Village, 59.8, 19.7.

This seems to be the best spot, I farmed the rest of Gorgrond before coming here.

Comment by iMp3L

Flew to Everbloom Wilds, Gorgrond, headed north looking for timber inside the blue zone, found a tree just outside the blue zone in between the Ogre Waygate and the south entrance to the Blackrock Foundry. Spawned Loruk the Ancient 391k hp non-elite. Confirmed again, blue zone just a general area indicator.

Comment by 1310431

Found mine at 58,36.

I spent an hour trying to look for a medium timber at the area the quest indicates it should be done, didn't find a single one. Once I decided to go up a little bit, I found tons of medium timbers and the rare appeared on my second one.

Comment by Naoji

If you already have 250 Timber while harvesting a tree, Loruk won't spawn. I had to delete 20 before he would spawn. I suppose it also applies to the other Ancients.

Comment by kberends1979

I ended up lucking out & tagging him at 54:45. Please note that you must log a "Timber" in order to spawn him. Twig of Loruk is a 100% drop rate once you do, although the NPC himself is not a 100% spawn rate. Information current as of 11/26/2014.

Screenshot submitted as proof.

Comment by benx2011

Small Timber will not spawn. I spent an hour looking for a Timber. I only found 2, but the NPC never spawned. So i gave up and just ran around farm some lumber. Then i found a Timber somewhere in the zone that was not in the highlighted area and the NPC spawned! So i assume it doesn't have to be in the highlighted area. You just need to be in the zone.

Comment by tehyosh

Found him at 54 45, spawned from small timber.

Comment by vikichan

Deffinately try to look for it in the top highlighted area. I spend about 2 hours in lower part and I cut maybe 20-30 small trees and nothing. After I started to look in to top part where the first timber I cut down spawned Loruk lvl 100. The tree was just next to the pond left from the Everbloom wilds name of the area on the map.

Comment by GratefulSteve

Got him at 54,46 in Gorgrond.

I had just landed, grabbed first small timber and he popped up right after I took the tree down.

Good luck!

Confirmed at 58.4 40 (using TomTom)

Comment by KissxMint

Gorgrond
Had no luck at 54, 45.
Got mine at /way 60.20, 37.50

Comment by willsaf

After 2hrs of sitting at the spot of approx. 60,20... farming every tree that spawned... and doing ALOT of pet battles to kill the time in between.

Just when I was about to downgrade that port to vent some frustration a lonely tree popped up on the map, and I thought.. "ok, just one more time" and BAMM it finally spawns.

My only reason for commenting this whole encounter is just a reminder that this is not a guarantee on the first tree you see, be prepared to farm a lil and bring a book. :)

But always cross you fingers that you get lucky on the first tree ya see... GL out there.

Comment by JWTT

there are no more medium trees inside the village , after Blizzard's "hot fix" to this "problem" , thx Blizzard , try to get the medium tree on the way in , thats your best bet

Comment by selkie47

73, 35 for me

Comment by Xoxotl

I eventually got tired of dodging 100-Elites in Broken Horn Village with no luck, so I went back into the Everbloom. After about ten minutes it spawned from a medium timber at 73,41.

While it's mostly just RNG, this item was definitely the most frustrating of the four.

Comment by WokkaD

After reading many of these posts, i tried to get to 60,20.
I ended up in Broken Horn Village (after rounding the coast from the west side of the Iron Docks).
There I got Loruk on the 2nd tree (yes, I know - lucky) at 61.22 25.03
I'm Horde, so I didn't have to dodge the guards in this village.

Comment by Draewind

When I first did this part of the quest, I thought this was h@#$. The Everbloom seemed to be the only place to get
Timber ... not SMALL Timber or LARGE Timber, but plain, normal, medium, Level 2 Timber. This is what you need to chop down in order to spawn Loruk the Ancient. Gorgrond is full of Small and Large Timber, with only one or two spots in the Everbloom (level 100 daily apexis quest area) where Level 2 Timber spawns.

But there is an area on the north coast that is shown on the maps but isn't readily available. It is Broken Horn Village and the area EAST of Broken Horn Village is full of trees and many of them the Level 2 Timber. Since Broken Horn Village is full of 100 Elites, if you are Alliance you cannot just walk in. You only need to get to the East of Broken Horn Village and there are no mobs at all ... just Timber. So, if you are horde and can get to the summoning stone to Grimrail Depot (@ 55.8, 33.6), then you can follow the path northeast to Broken Horn Village.
---------------------------------------------------------
If you are Alliance or Horde that cannot get to the Grimrail Depot Summoning Stone:

1. Horde and Alliance both can take the path out East (the one running on the north edge of Crimson Fen), or you can go through Crimson Fen to the open water.

2. Off the on the path north of Crimson Fen is a pathway down the cliff to the water.
This path starts at (where the path brushes right along the cliff as it turns fairly sharply) and comes out in the water at (where you would take it to get up the cliff).

3. Whatever your water walking ability or mount, get on it and follow the coast north.

4. :

Alliance: There is a small beach area, and, as you face the cliff, there is a path going up to the timber @ .

Horde: Just go a little further, there is a marker post with a flame atop (@ 61.9, 19.7) it marking your path to Broken Horn Village.

5. Go there ... lots of Timber. Eventually Loruk the Ancient will spawn after collecting Level 2 Timber and then you kill him, looting the Twig of Loruk.
---------------------------------------------------------
If I had only known this earlier it would have saved me a lot of grief. But now the word is out, folks like me will use this place when they have characters that need timber but don't NEED to be played. It is a quick filler-up Timber supply.

Broken Village 62.9/23.58 worked for all my guild members

Comment by 1219732

62.23, just like she said outside of Broken Village, even though it shows it is not in the zone, trust me that is where you want to go!

Comment by Spastek

Found Loruk at 63.02, 34.98 which is inside the Blue area.

However Broken Village is a great area as there were a TON of trees. Unfortunately for me all were small timber which is why I ran back into the blue zone.

Good luck.

Comment by Crodnoces

I found Twig of Loruk at 71.02, 42,63. Had to fight off lots of NPCs but harvested lots of Small Trees in the process of looking for Tree and got some good lumber to boot.

Comment by rbernet

57.98, 36.19

I looked in the Broken Horn Village for over an hour and only small timber was in there. Maybe something has changed.

Comment by lendar12

have run around this area for over 40 minutes and all i get are small or large trees to harvest :(

Comment by Knjaz

60:37 and that was 3rd or 4th medium tree in quest zone that day (i just run from Everbloom Overlook to Broken Horn Village)

Comment by doomlove

Finally found a (medium)Timber and he came.
Location 72.3, 39.5 (within northern quest zone)

I tried the advice about leaving quest zone and head to Broken Horn Village. After a long time there, a Timber spawned, but he did not show up.
Small timbers spawned in the same spot every time ad about 10 minutes spawn time. There were 2 large Timber and the (medium) Timber only came after someone harwested the large ones. Maybe there is a limit to how timber-rich the area can be.

Comment by Cheynar

I found the Gorgrond drop at 68.99/42.52 Warning: A pain to get to, was lucky I happen to see it.

Comment by 1451589

farmed blue indicated are for a full day and found nothing from mediums. went to broken hill village as suggested in comments and all i found were small trees and a friendly village...a little help please....where can the horde find this guy?

Comment by 987271

Just got him at 68.97 , 42.46. First medium tree I hit.

Comment by Rotz

Got mine on first tree at 61.08 , 25.12 :)

Comment by Aeromen

1st tree @ 62.75,23.64. yes, out of the targeted area, but there, 100%!

Comment by Zellviren

I found him at 71,29 - interestingly, by accident.

I was following the advice of ironpepe, jumped off at the Everbloom Overlook (Alliance, obviously), and saw a log that I thought I'd go and harvest for the lumber. Before I knew it, there was Loruk begging to be killed.

Comment by 916058

While doing this on my hunter, I just couldn't get the damn thing to spawn. I tried hearthing back to my garrison and flying back, I tried relogging, I tried Broken Horn Village. Nothing worked. I harvested 700 lumber and nothing.
Then just for the heck of it, because pets have broken my quests before, I dismissed my pet, a warp stalker, and the very next tree I chopped down spawned Loruk - In Broken Horn Village.
If all else fails for you hunters, try dismissing your pet.

directly behind Firestarter Grash

Comment by jeannao

Well that's annoying. I just killed him thanks to your guys' tips, but there was nothing to loot.

Comment by dewey2k

Found him on first tree 61,21.

Comment by 1409155

Today I had luck with 60.1, 37.5. It's off to the side, so you can follow along the nearby ridge to avoid pulling most mobs. There was a ravager in front of the tree, which on a 98 pally isn't bad, but I caution any lower lvls or non mail/plate classes if soloing. I apologize if this coord is a repeat, I tried to skim through all the posts to make sure I didn't (Also to note, I noticed from this page it looks like the 60-61 latitude line is very popular).

Happy logging. :)

Comment by Xemperor

Wonder why most post their location of spawn, it got nothing to do with location, only RNG when cutting down tree´s.

I cut down around 20 small timbers, no spawns
First Timber (medium) i came across and the quest mob spawned directly.

So look for Timber (medium) and skip small timbers, if you dont actually need the wood.

Comment by Dad11

I found a medium size tree at 72.3 / 39.6, in Gorgrond.

Comment by dwgamer82

I will confirm that the area just NE of the Broken Horn Village is still good. I got him on the second medium tree I chopped. As an added tip to Alliance, you can use your shredder to fly up to the area from the beach so as to not get as close to the gates, though you still have to get dangerously close to the village to get the trees, but didn't have any problems aggroing anything accidentally. So, that should work.

Comment by nurseferatu

Also a note unless this is not obvious - this quest has NOTHING to do with upgrading your lumber mill. It rewards a toy for your toybox, some gold, and some xp if you are not at max.
Totally safe to set this on the back burner and do it whenever. And no reason to do it more than once! Unless you are a glutton for punishment.

Comment by thulsadoom

Loruk spawned from a medium timber at 58,40.

The timber is north of the Everbloom Wilds flight path just past the hot springs containing the Brine Lashers. The springs are visible on the map and look like a small lake. You will have to clear one of the nearby wasps. A wandering lumbering ancient's path ends past the tree within aggro range. You have plenty of time to kill Loruk as the ancient meanders back to his starting point.

While waiting to see if it would respawn, I noticed 2 more timber spawned within sight directly to the north.

Hope this helps.

Comment by Takera

If you are like me and cut over a 100 small trees to get the quest mob to spawn. try flying around the everbloom wilds and look for a medium tree. Spawned on my first medium tree.

Comment by angelrod

I love Wowhead! and it's because of people like you! Thanks!

Comment by Gargler

Broken Village is possibly no longer viable in Patch 7.0.3 - it falls outside of the questing area and mousing over the Timbers spawning in that area on the map do not say that they will drop 0/1 Twig of Loruk.

I tried farming Medium Timbers there by cutting down the Small Timbers any time they appeared, but any Mediums that spawned did not cause the boss to spawn. I eventually gave up and used Aviana's Feather to fly back into the northeast quest zone and the first Medium Timber in that area yielded the boss.

Comment by discoqueenj

I can confirm that, indeed, you can get Loruk at Broken Horn Village even though it's not in the blue circle. I cut down small trees for over an hour waiting for a medium tree. I came on here and saw other people recommend BKV. As soon as I cut down trees there, he spawned.

Comment by xoxkristenkidd

Just in case anyone is having the same trouble as me.. This may or may not have had something to do with my bad luck, but I was wandering around for about an hour or so looking for medium timber so i could collect Twig of Loruk for Legacy of the Ancients. Once I finally found some, up by Broken Horn Village, the timber wasn't making Loruk the Ancient spawn. I had a Pepe on my head. As soon as I clicked him off my head, the next timber I went to spawned Loruk for me. Maybe a coincidence, but just in case it wasn't, I figured I'd put it here.

Comment by ahmedia

(Patch 8.3)

Confirmed Broken Horn Village.

2nd medium tree spawned him for me as a 120 DH.

Comment by Glitterboom113

Cords 57.5,34.4 in Gorgrond ,medium timber. Ancient tree pops up and the twig drops! 👍

Comment by CrunchBoat

Ridiculous. I harvested about 500 lumber before this dink spawned.

Comment by Igorath

Still spawning at Broken Horn Village. He spawned on the 4th Timber. For those who don't know, BHV is just east of Blackrock Foundry or southeast of Iron Docks (roughly).

Comment by Bugwheeler

Tried broken village, no luck, finally west of everbloom wilds, 74,41.
