When you hand in this quest go to the inn at 30, 48. In there you will see a shield on the wall, hoof prints at the entrance of the inn and a guards badge on one of the planks on the floor of the inn. Click on them to accept the quests then return to Captain Garran Vimes to hand them in. Follow those quests to their completion.

what the hell is the point of this quest....

Kommentar von Thottbot

not the "tower" captin is in the citadel

Kommentar von Thottbot

There's one more, aside of the hoof prints and the shield. On one of the fallen boards in the burned Inn, there is a tiny little badge of an officer. That quest starts out called "Lieutenant Paval Reethe"

I do wish there was more to this quest, but sadly, I haven't found anything.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I think they may have taken the quest out :( I can't get it anymore.

Kommentar von Thottbot

look for gaurd byron by the Inn in theramore to start this one.

Kommentar von Thottbot

quest seems to lead to the same place James Hyal (from wetlands) does; i did Hyal, and immediately lost the ability to take this quest

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found Paval Reethe in dustwalllow marsh...just off the main road 42,38. but he said nothing.. dont really know where this quest was supposed to lead...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Captain Garran Vimes is at /tloc 68,49

He can be found on the second floor of the Foothold Citadel

Kommentar von Thottbot

this comment might be more newer than these following comments but you are saying if you do the James Hyjal quest than its like the same as doing Guard Byron except different locations leading to the same quest by Vimes giving you the clues?

Kommentar von Thottbot

By chance I found the next part of this quest, although it's not a 'chain'. If you go the burned out inn located right where Dusthollow March and The Barrens meet, you will find attached to the fireplace a shiled. Click it to start a quest called "The Black Shield". https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=1253/der-schwarze-schild

The odd thing about this one is the quest window is silver and not black like all the others.

Kommentar von Thottbot

hi

I collected all 3 quests perfectly easy and completed without problems, so none has been deleted in patch/update

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have done part 1: black shield, part 2: Mysterious foot prints part 3: the deserters part 4: searching for reethe. Well i found him myself (after hastil ran off to find him) but what i am wondering is if you have to go find hastil somewhere in the marshes...because at this point after all the quests it seems to be the end...but proably isnt just..cant figured out what to do next.

Kommentar von Thottbot

so i really wish this quest would go further.... i did the sheild and the foot prints but what else is there?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Okay, I've hopefully done all the quests to this "Shady Rest Inn" scene. Except i cant talk to Guard Byron, never could, is he the queststarter to the whole thing? I started this chain in Wetlands...

Correct me if I'm wrong ^^

Kommentar von Thottbot

wow... that was a pointless quest. don't even bother with it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Sigh

Kommentar von Thottbot

There is no follow up directly, but the point is for newer players who don't know the zones well enough to know where to go next. This is one of those quests that's along the same lines as "hey, go talk to Captain Numbnuts in this other zone." You're supposed to go there and then see that there's a bunch more quests to do, but in most cases the person you're sent to usually has some quests of his own. This time he doesn't.

You get it just before you get on the boat, you turn it in when you get off. It's free XP, what more do you want?

Heres the layout for completing this quest which is a series:
1. Find Smiling Jim sitting on the ground outside the Inn in Theramore. Click him, he says a sad little rhyme.
2. The guard standing near Jim says to talk to Captain Vimes.
3. Captain Vimes refers to a burned-down Inn (Shady Rest Inn) on the border of Barrens and Dustwallow.
4. Seek the Inn, super-easy to find, just go to the end of the road to the west. You'll find a shield hanging on the wall. take it back to captain vimes...
5. Captain Vimes sends you with the shield to the blacksmith. Return to Captain Vimes..
6. He says you should look for more clues. so you go back and find some prints in the ground (gee the culprit appears to be bovine!)
7. Return to Vimes with the news. He will send another NPC to look at the prints. now go back to the Shady Rest Inn and locate Lieutenant Paval Reethe's Badge (which is very hard to see on one of the grey boards laying on the ground). Return (with the badge) to Captain Vimes.
9. He refers you to the clerk 2 feet away.
10. Clerk advises you to return to Captain Vimes who is 2 feet behind him. Nice exp there.. thanks clerk!
11. Vimes gives you a quest called THE DESERTERS which looks like you have to attack a guy named Jackan. this is a level 38 quest. Should probably look that up from this point as i haven't done it yet ;p

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's because you have already done the other pre-quest that send you to start this chain.

You either start it with:
'They Call Him Smiling Jim' in Theramore Isle
or
'James Hyal' in Stormwind City James Hyal you can not get/complete both.

Both of them end up sending you to Captain Garran Vines that points you to the Shady Rest Inn, where you can get the following quests that follow this chain by 3 items at the burned inn:
- The Black Shield: Der Schwarze Schild Suspicious Hoofprints: Verdächtige Hufabdrücke Lieutenant Paval Reethe: Lieutenant Paval Reethe

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got 110 XP for doing this at level 42 (it was green already). There were no reputation adjustments.

In case you have trouble finding Captain Vimes, he's upstairs in the Citadel

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Previously detailed post was excellent, just a couple of clarifications.

Definitely get all three of the objects - hoofprints, shield, badge at the same time.

The shield and badge are inside the inn and the hoofprints are in front and to the left as you look at the inn from the road.

ctloc of shady rest in is 29,47

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Well you dont even have to do the smiling Jim part for this series of quests.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hey I am level 39 (Alliance) and I can't start the quest, I found the guard on the south west corner of the Inn standing on a small mound with Smiling Jim sitting close behind him but I can't talk to the guard and when I talk to Jim he sings about beer and crap. Is there another quest I need to finish first? I read on the Black Shield quest that you need this one done before you can do that one so I don't want to miss out on 2 quests.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found all 3 items in the first trip but the badge is the hardest one to see. You see three grey boards on the floor inside the inn. The badge is a very very tiny white dot on the board that is the closest to the entrance of the inn. Move your mouse on the board and with luck you will see it =)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

BTW You dont have to get the shield, badge and hoofprints seperatly. I got all three on one trip to the inn.

Full Reethe Questline Info

It's a long story following Rethe's mystery on both alliance and horde side. I will tell the alliance side of things. I can also confirm it works in classic, you just need to get the required prequests. Questie will show the badge on the map, even if you didn't complete the prequests yet.

Alliance starts with James Hyal and the followup James Hyal OR Sie nennen ihn den lächelnden Jim (you can do only one of the prerequisites)

Once you got these prerequisites you will be able to loot the Geschwärzter Eisenschild and Reethes Abzeichen as well as inspect Hufabdrücke in the burned down Inn in Dustwallow Marsh at 29 47.

The badge is really small sitting on a plank in the middle of the inn, the shield hangs on the chimney, the hoofprints are in front of the house.

These items start 3 quest:

Lieutenant Paval Reethe
Der Schwarze Schild
Verdächtige Hufabdrücke

You are then send around 2 more times to other NPCs with the shield:

Der Schwarze Schild
Der Schwarze Schild

And the badge continues to the following questline:

Lieutenant Paval Reethe
Daelins Männer
Die Deserteure
Die Deserteure

There is no follow-up to this quest, though you do get a bit more from the Horde's perspective if you come back and do their side of the chain. The conclusion to the mystery was not added into the game until Patch 2.3, thus we won't be seeing it in Classic. That patch addressed many of the abrupt endings to quest chains in Dustwallow Marsh.

On Horde side:

Lieutenant Paval Reethe from Abzeichen der Wache von Theramore

Verdächtige Hufabdrücke from Hufabdrücke

Der Schwarze Schild from Schwarzer Schild
Der Schwarze Schild
Der Schwarze Schild
Der Schwarze Schild

Befragt Reethe

After handing in Reethes Abzeichen you get an escort quest to help an ogre go talk to him.
However before you can get anything out of him some alliance show up and kill him for treason.
After all three of them has been completed horde gets a quest to go talk to the smith of the Geschwärzter Eisenschild in Thunderbluff.
Unfortunatly the smith cant possibly remember for whom he made the Geschwärzter Eisenschild so the quest ends there.

Kommentar von MogPagle

It is possible to complete both, you can pick up James Hyal and this at the same time, then turn them both in. They become mutually unavailable only if you've completed one or the other.

Kommentar von Purge90

Grabbed the quest 2/8/24. Questie said it was a new quest. Theramore LT at the bridge gave me spy's scroll, which again questie said was new. Then, I talked to the captain, who completed the quest. But I still have it in my log. Not sure if it is Bugged in SoD or there is more too it. Smiling Jim doesn't have anything special in Theramore by the Inn. Just a "poem"/"Riddle".

Sie nennen ihn den lächelnden Jim

Sprecht mit Captain Garran Mumm in Theramore.

Beschreibung

Ich kann nicht anders, der alte Jim da tut mir Leid. Er war nicht immer so. Hatte eine Zeitlang ein Gasthaus im Sumpf, wunderbares Lokal.

Hört zu, ich will wirklich nicht darüber sprechen. Besprecht es mit Captain Mumm, wenn es sein muss.
