- Finally, head to Arathi Highlands and look for a Rowboat near Thandol Span, the bridge to the south that connects the zone to Wetlands (53, 91). You’ll have to cross the rope bridge beside the larger stone bridge and pass through a small camp of level 30-32 Dark Iron Dwarves. Go down the hill and use the Rowboat and it will teleport you to the east coast of the zone on the other side of the mountain range.

- Follow the coastline from the boat to a small dock. There you’ll find Illari Duskfeather, a night elf. Speak with her and progress her dialogue. Alliance can choose the first dialogue option to agree with her and continue without fighting. Otherwise you will have to fight her. She’s level 40.
- Defeat Illari and she’ll vanish, leaving a Dropped Pouch on the ground where she was standing. Click on it to get Illari’s Key.
- Look for Illari’s Loot Cache, a small chest in front of the nearby shack on the dock. Open it to loot a Jewel-Encrusted Box. Right-click this box in your inventory to get your Rune of the Trapper.
- When you’re done, you can take the Rowboat back to Thandol Span.

Did everything as described above. But the rune is bugging. When I open the chest, and I scroll over it, it is just a question mark and when I scroll over it reads “retrieving item information”… Any idea what to do here?
I have this problem also. I did this with a full group and trap launcher was the only rune to bug like this. We had a Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Paladin, and Hunter.
did u find a fix ? same problem here
I did find a fix. You need to clear your classic-wow cache folder. The item doesn’t match an itemID code until you clear your cache so it’s likely just some legacy ID bug.
worked as stated
ty worked for me
