As of the May 2022 patch, this task is no longer required, mercenaries are automatically upgraded to Journeyman (after zoning) when an all-access player reaches level 85. Other accounts are limited to Apprentice mercenaries.

This is a solo task that begins with Investigator Drolmer at about /loc 1215, 220 (near the Plane of Knowledge stone) in the dream version of The Feerrott.

Pre-Requisites for Requesting:
- Level 85
- As of an April 2014 patch, any character (heroic or not) can do this task to gain access to all mercenaries.

Say "help" to request the task.







Find and speak with Investigator Vekman 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Investigator Vekman is found a little ways southeast at /loc 865, 110.


Locate and examine the dead mercenary 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

You'll find the dead mercenary a little ways southwest of Investigator Vekman.


Destroy the wraiths emanating from the dead mercenary's skull 0/2 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Kill two of the worry wraiths near the mercenary's corpse.


Speak with Investigator Vekman about what happened 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Find and speak with Investigator Spelner 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Investigator Spelner is found a little ways southeast of Investigator Vekman, at about 800, -270.


Kill the crazed mercenaries that are stalking and attacking Investigator Spelner 0/2 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Speak with Investigator Spelner about the rest of her crew 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Find the investigators' camp and speak with Investigator Elgron 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Head northeast to about 1250, -1460 and speak with Investigator Elgron.


Defend the investigators' camp by killing the thoughtbleeders and amygdalans that are attacking 0/5 (Feerrott, the Dream)

These mobs are found in the same area.


Speak with Investigator Elgron 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Loot 3 Dreamwalker's Amygdala from lizardman dreamwalkers 0/3 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Loot these from lizardmen dreamwalkers (found in the area southwest from Investigator Elgron -- around 480, -1185).


Collect 3 Mushrooms of Waking Dreams 0/3 (Feerrott, the Dream)

These are ground spawns a little ways southeast of Investigator Elgron. You can find them at LOC 825 -1787, LOC 817 -1688, LOC 852 -1622


Speak with Investigator Elgron and tell him you found the ingredients to walk within dreams 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Find the Circle of Fear 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

This is a location update at the druid ring around 315, -1825 (a fair distance southeast from Investigator Elgron).


Speak with Merc Boldron and find out what horrible fears lurk in this place 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Don't speak with Merc Boldron until ready for a fight. After a short time, this dialogue update triggers the spawn of a dracolich.


Kill the dracolich that has spawned out of fears and nightmares 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Speak with Merc Boldron and tell him the dracolich is dead 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

Tell Investigator Drolmer you have saved his crew and defeated the apparition among the stones 0/1 (Feerrott, the Dream)

There are quest specific lizardmen that are significantly easier than the ones at the Lizardman camps. They are all spread out with very few wanderers. Easy solo kills even if you happen to get an add.

I just completed this quest with a Heroic Character and I cannot use any tier of Journeyman Mercs, Yes I have the flag for it now but as a FTP account I cannot use the J mercs. So this is confirmed. Secondly I tried getting this with my regular charact (non-Hero) and It would not give it to me...

He says he doesn't have anything for anyone of my experience. I tried this with a silver toon today and will try with a gold one tomorrow. I thought the only requirement was that it be a heroic toon. someone on the forums said their gold one could not get it either.

If you can't get the quest.

You must have CotF expansion on your account in order to get the quest. This is a bug and the developers plan on fixing it.
If you can't get the quest.

I can confirm this. Made a heroic character on an old account, couldn't get the task. I got a gold membership, logged out, back in, still couldn't get it. Bought CotF expansion and relogged, and it worked. So, this task costs about $55 to begin :)

I tried picking up this quest. It leads me through the keywords all the way to the end where you say "help" but the quest doesn't appear in my log and Investigator Vekman is nonresponsive. Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

Investigator Vekman won't even acknowledge me . I've tried hailing, saying "help", right clicking. No idea what to do next. I'm on my heroic character. Not invis.

2 of my 3 heroics are able to get it ... the third he just keeps saying "i have nothing for someone with your abilities."

Only difference on 4rd account is that I don't have RoF and CoTF expansions on it. Wondering if they are needed.

i think you might be right! my 1 out of 3 h-chars that was able to request has all the expansions. The other 2 are missing the last 2 expansions!

So i tried picking up the quest with my H-chars. 3 of them. I was only able to pick it up with 1 out of the 3 who is a Drakkin SK. Dont know if anyone else is having this issue. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue

I had looted one before getting to this stage in the quest and it counted it among my 3 when I looted my next one but not until I looted one while the task was my current one. No problems killing the Dracolich.
