Finish the quest to receive the Night Watchman's Torch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nSeveral players can complete the quest from the same body, so you do not need to fight over the spawn. Once you have the torch, the quest stops appearing for you, but the guard still shows up in the world.<\/p>\n
Where the Night Watch Guard spawns<\/h2>\n
The guard only spawns at night, so wait until at least 20:00 in-game time before you start searching. His spawn point is not fixed; according to player reports, he can be found throughout Duskwood's southern and western areas.<\/p>\n
Raven Hill remains the most reliable spot, and the location that has been reproduced repeatedly sits at these coordinates:<\/p>\n
\/way Duskwood 18.1 55.2 Night Watch Guard<\/p>\n
A targeting macro saves you a lap of the town while you look:<\/p>\n
\/target Night Watch Guard<\/p>\n
Getting to Duskwood as Horde<\/h2>\n
Horde characters can collect the torch as well, though the trip is longer. Board the zeppelin in Orgrimmar that goes to Grom'gol in Stranglethorn Vale, and afterward travel north to Duskwood.<\/p>\n
Torch restrictions: cities, water and combat<\/h2>\n
Three limits apply every time you use it. The torch cannot be used in cities. Walking into water puts it out. Starting a fight extinguishes it as well, so it is a travel toy rather than a combat one.<\/p>\n
Light Torch spell and Torch item in the database<\/h2>\n
Separate from the toy, the Forever spell database lists a Light Torch effect with a 3-second cast that consumes one Unlit Torch as a reagent and creates a Burning Torch. It has no cooldown, no cost and a 0-yard range, meaning it only targets you. The Forever item database also lists a plain Torch item, with no usable details beyond the name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Yes. Horde characters can complete An Unfortunate End too, and reach Duskwood by taking the zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Grom'gol and running north.<\/p>"},{"question":"
