The Gift That Keeps on Giving – The Quest

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Hello, Ability Powered gamers and welcome back to The Quest! This week we are in the Death Knight starting area and are going to be doing the quest “The Gift That Keeps on Giving.” Gothik the Harvester has asked us to convert five Scarlet Miners into Scarlet Ghouls using an object he’s given us called “Gift of the Harvester”.

Making The Gift That Keeps on Giving Easier

My tip to reduce mouse movement for this quest is to keybind the item “Gift of the Harvester” by dragging and dropping it onto your toolbar. As you can see using the item gives you a circle you use to target the miners and convert them. By binding the item on to your toolbar you can easily click the item near the middle of your screen where you can use it with easy movement. This way, you do not have to move your mouse all the way to the right side of the screen where the item is in your quest list, or to the right and the bottom to use at item from your bag. With the addition of addons, such as Bartender4, you can even have the button right in the center of the screen requiring you to barely move the mouse between the quest item and the target.

Keeping the Gift Flowing

This particular quest seemed to take awhile to complete since not all the miners will be converted into ghouls the first time you use the item. It is possible, depending on your gear, to try to convert multiple miners by using your quest item more than once between killing the ghost. In the above video, I am in heirloom gear, so I can take on a few at once and then use area-of-effect speels to down them. The respawn rate is pretty quick, so you don’t necessarily have to go very far into the cave to convert some miners.

No Thanks, I’m a Miner

Once a few ghouls are converted, they will help you fight any ghosts that spawn. This makes the quest even easier to finish. One thing I did notice is the item will only convert one miner at a time. I tried placing the target so two miners would be within its radius, but only one of the two would react. Another thing to be aware of is The Gift That Keeps on Giving will not give you credit every time you convert a miner into a ghoul, so make sure you keep up with how many you have converted. Once you have five, this time do return to the quest giver.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving Conclusion

By binding the harvester item near the center of your screen for easy targeting; having ghouls fight with you; and staying near the entrance to the cave, you can reduce the mouse movement needed to complete this quest.
