Lolo was born with only one head, but he's smarter than he looks. Land Ho! came from an unusual NPC, an ogre named Lolo the Lookout. If you did see the exclamation point, you might not have been leveled enough to accept the level 40 follow-up, so you might have forgotten all about it and never returned. Unless you started clicking on NPCs, you would think the ship was an intriguing bit of scenery and nothing more. So if you were level 40 at the time (or higher) when you found this area, the exclamation point would not appear. The rest of the line was, strangely, level 40. The beginning quest was Land Ho! Part of what made this quest line so hidden was that the first quest was flagged as level 35. Therefore, I give the title of most hidden quest line to Faldir's Cove. The only one that might be more obscure was Sully Balloo's Letter, but that wasn't really a line of quests, and you didn't do anything but talk to some NPCs. You were bound to notice The Matron Protectorate if you ran Blackrock Spire enough - or someone would helpfully point it out to you while you were grouped. Other secret quests such as Message in a Bottle were 'hidden' in plain sight in high-traffic areas. Explorers were rewarded with perhaps the least-known quest chain in vanilla. The area wasn't labeled on the map, and no NPC sent you there. To find it, you either had to swim along the coast or discover a small cave tucked away in the hills southeast of Stromgarde. Yet if you were curious, you might have discovered a tucked-away area known as Faldir's Cove. Most players leveling through the zone in vanilla never bothered to explore beyond the steep ridges. The southern coast of Arathi Highlands is mountainous and all but impassable. What did the game look like years ago? Who is etched into WoW 's history? What secrets does the game still hold?
