Valuable Vantages Quest: Where to Place the Three Vials
Valuable Vantages is a Horde quest in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever): Deathstalker Masoj in Hillsbrad Foothills hands you three Apothecary Vials, you uncork one on each of three peaks, and you return to him for 2,000 experience. Wowhead lists it as level 25, requiring level 19, as of November 9, 2026.
Quick answer: Take Scout Support from High Executor Darthalia at Tarren Mill, hand the orders to Masoj south of town, then place the western, northern and southern vials. One player gives /way 74.2 73.5 and 71.6 30.0 in Hillsbrad and 38.6 94.1 in Alterac Mountains. Players report level 33 mountain lions near the third spot.
The old signal beacons over the foothills have gone dark, and the Forsaken want their bat riders to find the drop points again. You are the one who carries the vapors up the hills.

Where do you start Valuable Vantages?
Not with Masoj. Wowhead says Scout Support comes first: High Executor Darthalia asks you to deliver orders to Masoj, who stands on elevated ground north of Nethander Stead, almost directly south of her, per the quest text. Handing over the orders unlocks Valuable Vantages. Commenters on Scout Support say it only appears after Battle of Hillsbrad part 2, which is not confirmed by Wowhead's own data. Read the Hillsbrad Foothills lore and Horde leveling zones for the zone around it.
Where do you place the three vials?
Wowhead's quest text names three places: the hills bordering Dun Garok, the plateau overlooking Dunholde Keep, and the ridge of the Headland above Hillsbrad town. It also says to look for crushed empty vials, and a commenter says the spots are marked with debris such as barrels.
Coordinates come from Wowhead comments only. One player (October 9) gives /way Hillsbrad Foothills 74.2 73.5, /way Hillsbrad Foothills 71.6 30.0 and /way Alterac Mountains 38.6 94.1, adding that the last is above the Yeti cave, not inside it. Another player (October 2) lists /way 71 29, 73 72 and 42 30. The two lists broadly agree on the first two spots.
Is Valuable Vantages dangerous at level 25?
Players say yes. Three separate commenters warn that level 33 or 34 mountain lions stand around the peak above the Yeti cave. One suggests approaching from the left side to avoid them. These are player reports, and one dates from the beta, so check your own character's level against what you see.
What does Valuable Vantages reward?
Wowhead lists 2,000 experience, 150 reputation with Thunder Bluff (as written on the page) and a pick of Weathered Deathstalker's Blade or Expended Apothecary Vial. Item stats are hidden in Forever until players discover them, per Wowhead's own notice.
What is not confirmed yet
- Coordinates: only player comments; the sources disagree slightly
- Third vial location: Wowhead's text says the Headland above Hillsbrad, players say Alterac Mountains
- Lion risk: player reports, not tested by me
- Warcraft Wiki: I found no page for this quest
- Reward stats: hidden until discovered
Can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with Valuable Vantages?
The free Lore Forever add-on has a Lore button on the quest dialog and quest log that opens a quest's story. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access, and its narration uses generated voices. Ask Willo out loud ("where does Masoj stand") while you play. Willo is free to start (50 answers a day) and is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), per her page; her FAQ and the Lore Forever FAQ say Windows and Mac, though CurseForge still calls her a Windows app. She can be wrong and is not official, so in-game quest text and Blizzard's pages are the source of truth.
