Direhoof is an elite rare in Nagrand, not far from Yrel's Watch. He will show up on your screen as a rare skull, even though he's elite. If you're leveling through the area, or not Hellfire geared, I would not recommend soloing this. I have died to these rares many a time when I was not well geared. It's easy to bump into these rares when questing or rare hunting. I'm 719 geared, and had a follower...Soloing this was no problem, even though I (unnecessarily) blew all of my cooldowns to do it.

Once you kill Direhoof, he will drop a bind on account item (Direhoof's Hide) that you can turn into the Steamwheedle Preservation Society in Nagrand for reputation. Wowhead lists the drop rate of this item as 99.92%, but I've never seen the item not drop off of an elite rare.

Take the Hide to Na'gwa, not far from Yrel's Watch...on the other side Lok-rath from Yrel's Watch. I don't think it's a discovery point, and it's not labeled on the map.

Go inside the ruined building. There are two goblins who have quest turn-ins. Talk to Gazmolf Futzwangler to the left. He's standing next to a hologram machine of some kind that shows images of the elite rares in Nagrand. He has a long list of items you can turn in for rep. Find the item you want to turn in.

Most talbuk are peaceful creatures that will only attack when they are defending their herd. Not Direhoof though, that talbuk is one of the most aggressively dangerous beasts I've ever encountered...and one of the most magnificent talbuk I've ever seen!
If you encounter Direhoof while adventuring and live to tell the tale, return to me with the beast's hide and I'll see that you're rewarded! |
I'm not going to lie to you, <name>...I'll be sleeping more soundly knowing that Direhoof isn't out there somewhere roaming the wild.
I'll also be sleeping more soundly on the pile of money I'm going to make selling this hide to some rich collector! Cha-ching! |
