Objectives

Find the 12 missing pages of the Shredder Operating Manual, and put them together to form Chapters 1, 2, and 3. Return the pages to Gurda Ragescar near Splintertree Post.

Description

I just picked up this shredder from Ratchet and I was on my way back to the Warsong Lumber Camp, where I am supposed to be on duty. I was given a manual on how to operate the shredder, but on the trip back, a huge gust of wind blew it from my hands. The pages went everywhere, and all I was left with was the cover.

The pages could be just about anywhere by now, I suppose... but I don't know how to use the shredder without them! Will you find them for me?

Progress

I hope you find the pages soon, <name>! I really need to get back to work!

Completion

Reading isn't my strong point... but now I'll be able to get back to work! Thanks, <name>!

I found them off of furbolg thistle avengers, nagas by zoramstrand, satyrs, and slimes. The nagas and slimes seemed to drop it the most . . .

it was weird I kept getting multiples of pages

I waited until I had done all the quests in Ashenvale before buying pages off the AH. I had the majority so I only had to buy 2 pages. Was cheap too 15s and 20s. This was actually the first time I had bothered to do this quest. Decent exp and decent rewards.

Accept this quest when you first get to Ashenvale... You'll acquire most of the pages as you kill certain enemies on various quests (ie. Satyrs, elementals, etc).

You'll find that you'll get like two or three of the same page as you complete all of these quests. (I got about four Page 10s). I recommend putting your extra pages up for auction at your nearest auction house. If you're Horde, the auction house will be in Orgrimmar. Put them up for sale for about 8 or 9 silver.

When you get to about level 29 or 30, you won't get anymore quests in Ashenvale. If you still haven't gotten all of the pages, you can find them at the auction house. If someone wants a gold for them, that's a rip-off. Just wait a day or so and you'll find most of the pages in the auction house for about 10 silver.

When I completed this quest (after getting pages 9 and 11 at the auction house in Orgrimmar... nontheless I got them!) I received 3650 XP as a level 29 Troll Hunter.

:) Have fun!

i dont know this quest is a real pain in the ass. i ended up buying 5 pages because i didn't feel like killing anymore :P i think you need to have two of one of the pages of each chapter to bind though or you will get an error saying this page is missing. it's pretty gay.

What you need is to have an extra page of one of the pages you are trying to combine. For instance if you are doing the 1st chapter; pages, 1-4 have an extra page of one of the four pages when you combine. Like have 2 pages no. 1 for instance.

A guildmate told me this when I very frustratingly cussed out the pages in guildchat.

Another thing. I don't know if it is relevant but maybe it would be a good idea to click on the extra page when you combine the chapters. I did get some error message when I got the extra page and when I clicked on the extra page it went away. Probably fluke but now I always click on the extra page for good luck.

No, but I am getting an error for this quest. I have all 12 pages (thank you AH) and when i right-click any page, at the bottom it says "Binding Chapter 1" (or 2 or 3 depending on the page) and once that finishes I get a red message that says "Missing Reagant: Shredder Operating Manual: Page x" where x is the page I clicked on. Any ideas on what's going on? I sent in a GM ticket but no response thus far.

I think its just a little mistake that blizzard has made, you see if you go to this link...

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html

its the new patch, and if you scroll down to the section "professions", and look up 3 lines, you'll see the clear message...

"Shredder Operating Manual pages will no longer drop for the Alliance. "

That's because they've found their mistake so they simply fixed it. So I dont think there will be a Alliance Quest needing shredder pages. I feel sorry to those alliance players who spent days collecting them. I'm an elf and I'm dissapointed too, but oh well!

This is the most frustrating quest I have done so far! I would have been even MORE frustrated if I had been Alliance and then found out that I couldn't use them!

I got 9 of the 12 pages plus a lot of duplicates, before I resorted to going to the Auction House in Origrimmar, where I was able to buy 1 I needed.

When I returned to Ashenvale, I went to an area that I hadn't been before, and got the page I had already bought, plus one more I needed. I finally traded another player 4 of my duplicate pages for the last one I needed. Overall, this quest took about 10 hours of game time to complete.

I am thinking that those three pages have specific drop points on the map, but I could be mistaken. They were pages 2, 7 and 10. Good Luck!
