BlackBurrow is the home of the Sabertooth Clan gnolls, a group not particularly fond of outside visitors. It connects to both the Everfrost Peaks and Qeynos Hills.

Be advised that the dense (take that as you will) gnoll population combined with their habit of running deeper into the stronghold for help can make for some pretty impressive trains.

Note: For the higher level revamp version of this zone (available only in special events - usually branded as "Hardcore Heritage", running several weeks in the spring and/or summer), click here.

Talk to the chick sitting by the campfire right outside of Surfall enterence in Quenos. She will explain the no drops. as for the Courier, he/she/it is level 30+ I'm guessing

Was green to my level 47 enchanter. Nevertheless, he killed me. I didn't take it seriously until it was too late. Hit me for 45-85 damage (my defense is very poor), interrupted my Color stun...

The courier spawns every 25-30 minutes at the QH zone. He is indifferent until attacked of course, which means he will NOT aggro on you. (my faction cannot get any worse with gnolls) I haven't followed him all the way down but I'm guessing he goes to either the gnoll tactician, or the gem to Jaggedpine zone. Either way, when he gets there, he despawns. My 34 druid kites him at the top level of BB with no problems, and he gives a lot of exp (dark blue). My 41 warrior owns him pretty well too and also gets good exp. (dark blue to 41 warrior btw) He drops 1 of 4 different quest items and 2-4 pp. Take the 4 items to Rilca Leafrunner who sits with Baobob and Chanda Miller. The reward is a Gnoll Bashin club (not exact name) which is decent for a newbie. (like normal, the reward/risk factor is incredibly off balance unless the club is meant to gift to a newbie)

Gnoll Courier, level 30 (yellow to a 29, blue to a 31, there were no 30's in the zone to con it, but I think my math is right). Drops like a fly to a 35 Shadowknight (although I am EXTREMELY twinked considering he is my main). A somwhat twinked 34 monk can also own him. This guy fights like a warrior, not sure what "class" he's most like though. I enjoy slaughtering him whenever I see him, ever-hopeful that I will see that elusive Lord Elgnub so that I may recieve the GnollSlayer sword. I know it's a stupid sword, and there are many better than it, but my first kill ever was a gnoll pup, and I wish to have it as a symbol of my hatred for their kind.

Also looking for the "HollyWindstalkerSlayer".

You all know you want one of those too.

He is indifferent to my barbarian shaman, have stood right next to him and he just runs on by. I have heard he drops a nodrop item for a quest, but not sure which quest.

I too ran into this gnoll, while playing a new druid i created. He beat my, at the time, level 7 druid for between 50-70dmg. almost got killed, had it not been for the zone a mere second away :)

i just had a rather nasty run in with this guy myself... i was in bb working on faction not knowing of this guy i didn't have my buffs on. Being a level 33 ranger i thought i would be alright but i get jumped by this guy and he stuns me spinning me around getting me compleatly confused... SOW DON"T FAIL ME NOW! i run off compleatly lost for about 10 min. and somehow i got at the top of some bridges. i know i wouldn't be able to find a zone line so i had to risk it. i jumped and this guy is FAST! i had 5 sec left and he was swiming right for me.. i camped with about 2 or 3 sec to spare... boy was my heart racing on this one... i can't wait to get my level up and return! MAWHahahahaha....

a word of wisdom.. always have your buffs up even if you think you will not need them!
