Misty Pine Refuge Quests: Father Gavin's Dun Morogh Chain
Misty Pine Refuge is an Argent Dawn outpost building in central Dun Morogh in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever), and Wowhead lists five level 8 Alliance quests there: you carry a crate of candles from Maxan Anvol in Kharanos to Father Gavin, then take his Finding Warmth, Rime's Wrath (two quests) and Treacherous Cold. All five are marked as added in patch 1.60.1, as of November 10, 2026.
Quick answer: Start with Dawn in the Mountains (Maxan Anvol, Kharanos, requires level 5, 70 XP), hand it in to Father Gavin at Misty Pine Refuge, then pick up the other four from him. Finding Warmth and the rifles of Treacherous Cold are collecting; Rime's Wrath is killing ice elementals and Avala.
Key facts
- Place: Misty Pine Refuge, central Dun Morogh, an outpost of the Argent Dawn (Warcraft Wiki)
- Quest giver: Father Gavin, a human priest (Warcraft Wiki lists his Forever quests)
- Level: all five are level 8 and require level 5, Alliance (Wowhead)
- Sharable: Finding Warmth, both Rime's Wrath quests and Treacherous Cold are sharable; Dawn in the Mountains is not (Wowhead)
- Rewards: 70, 350, 530, 700 and 700 XP (Wowhead)
How do you start the Misty Pine Refuge quests?
Dawn in the Mountains starts with Maxan Anvol, the priest trainer in the Thunderbrew Distillery in Kharanos (the Warcraft Wiki places him at 47.3, 52.2, a pointer only). Wowhead says you are given a crate of candles to bring to Father Gavin at Misty Pine Refuge, and that the quest gives 70 experience. The wiki puts the refuge itself at about 57.7, 44.8 in central Dun Morogh, which is also only a pointer. Gavin's other quests then start from him. The Dun Morogh guide covers the zone.
What do you do for Finding Warmth?
You collect 14 pieces of Mostly Dry Firewood for 350 XP. Player comments say the firewood is large white trunks on the ground beside trees, that some nodes hold two, and that respawns are slow. One player found six or seven around 56.0, 53.0, and another says they were more concentrated at the western end, around Steelgrill's Depot. These are player reports.
How do the two Rime's Wrath quests work?
Wowhead lists two quests with this name from Father Gavin. One asks you to destroy 10 minor ice elementals for 530 XP. The other asks you to kill Avala, a larger elemental, and bring back Avala's Core for 700 XP and Avala's Binding. Gavin's text says a rockslide stirred them up. Wowhead's pages for both had no comments when I opened them.
Where are the rifles in Treacherous Cold?
You collect the rifles of three fallen mountaineers, Stoneanvil, Sunhammer and Coalbeard, for 700 XP. Player comments give these spots: Stoneanvil 53.2, 58.7; Sunhammer 59.9, 50.1 (beside a cart on the path to Vagash's cave, per another player); Coalbeard 52.1, 44.1 (a dwarf under a fallen tree across the frozen river). Several players reported a "no loot" message on Stoneanvil's or Sunhammer's rifle from late September to early October. One said turning off Auto-Loot and relogging fixed it, others said nothing worked, and one reported Coalbeard's working by October 9. Nobody on the page confirms a fix. If it happens, see the stuck quest fix.
The free Lore Forever add-on shows a Lore button on the quest dialog and quest log that opens a quest's story, so you can read Father Gavin's chain in the add-on while you run it (fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard).
