Bounty on Garrick Padfoot is the last stop in the Northshire starting chain for Alliance characters in World of Warcraft Classic. It sends you out of the Abbey grounds and into a Defias camp for a single named kill, and it is the first quest in the zone that can realistically get a level 4 or 5 character killed if you walk in through the front of the camp.
Quick answer: Take the quest from Deputy Willem, kill Garrick Padfoot at the shack at 57.4, 48.2 in Northshire Vineyards, loot Garrick’s Head, and return to Willem at Northshire Abbey.
Quest requirements and where to pick it up
Deputy Willem stands in the Northshire Abbey courtyard and both offers and completes the quest. He will not show the bounty until you have handed in Brotherhood of Thieves, the red bandana collection quest that comes before it.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Start and end | Deputy Willem, Northshire Abbey |
| Quest level | 5 (requires level 2) |
| Prerequisite | Brotherhood of Thieves |
| Zone | Elwynn Forest |
| Side | Alliance |
| Objective | Garrick’s Head (1) |
The quest is sharable, so a party member who already has it can push it to the rest of the group rather than everyone running back to Willem.
Garrick Padfoot location in Northshire Vineyards
Garrick sits at 57.4, 48.2, outside a small wooden shack tucked against the mountains on the eastern edge of Northshire Vineyards. From the Abbey, head east past the graveyard and cross the bridge over the stream. The shack is not among the Defias tents out in the open ground near the round pond; it is on the far side of the hills, just east of the small diamond-shaped vineyard where Defias Thugs drop their bandanas.
The camp is shaped roughly like a U. Enter along the far right edge near the river where it meets the wall, then follow the hillside as high as it goes. Staying up on the slope keeps you above most of the thugs patrolling below. At the low point of the U you will be closest to them, so pause there until a patroller turns away before continuing. The hill then rises again into a path behind the ridge that drops you at Garrick’s shack.
How to kill Garrick Padfoot and loot the head
Rogues cannot open on Garrick from stealth, since he detects you before you get behind him. The thug beside him can still be opened on normally.
Turn-in and reward choices
Hand the head to Deputy Willem back in the courtyard and pick one of three pieces of gear. Take whatever fills the emptiest slot on your character; none of the three is an upgrade over the others in any meaningful way at this level.
| Reward | Slot |
|---|---|
| Tapered Pants | Legs |
| Layered Tunic | Chest |
| Ensign Cloak | Back |
You also get 340 experience and reputation with Stormwind. Season of Mastery realms award 465 experience instead. The Stormwind reputation gain is 75 in Classic; it was raised to 150 in later versions of the game.
How to confirm the quest is completed
The reward window closing and the experience gain are the immediate confirmation. If you are checking an old character and want certainty, run this in chat and look for a true result.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(6))Note that this bounty exists only in the Classic line of the game. It was removed from the modern version in patch 4.0.3a, along with Garrick himself, so a retail character will never see it on Deputy Willem.
