Alliance Repeatable Quests and Missions
In Alterac Valley there are many repeatable quests you can do to help improve your side. Moreover, unlike in most BGs, looting enemy players is actually critically important since PC drop tables have important items other than cash. The sheer number of drops is overwhelming at first but can be simplified into the categories below. Items that are bolded disappear after the Battleground is over. This is to prevent any oneside from gaining an advantage at the very start of the match. Use the quick links below to identify what you need to do with an AV specific item drops:
- Frostwolf Hide
- Armor Scraps
- Storm Crystal
- Ram Riding Harnesses
[Tear Stained Handkerchief]- [Broken I.W.I.N. Button]
- Soldier's Frostwolf Medal
- Lieuteutenant's Frostwolf Medal
- Commander's Frostwolf Medal
Most repeatable turnin quests will award Stormpike reputation to the entire battleground. All Ironforge and Stormwind reputation is only given to the player turning them in.
Ram Summoning Quests
Empty Stables
Quest NPC: Stormpike Stable Master
Location: Dun Baldar [42, 16]
Objective: Tame an Alterac Ram
Required Number: 25
Details: This quest helps stock up the supply of Ram Mounts for NPC Cavalry Teams that will be summoned to assist you. Once you have returned the ram to the stable area you click "With pleasure. These things stink!". Then you complete the quest and can retake it. It takes 25 Rams to fully stock the cavalry stable. Note: If you have the quest and leave AV, eventually the collar disappears so you have to abandon the quest and retake it and you'll get a new collar. Rams are located just south of Dun Baldar.
Reward: 10 Ironforge reputation, 1 Stormpike reputation.
Ram Riding Harnesses
Quest NPC: Stormpike Ram Rider Commander
Location: Dun Baldar [42, 17]
Objective: Kill Frostwolves and return their hides to him.
Required Number: 25
Details: This is the second part of the Ram Cavalry Summon and requires you to collect Frostwolf Hides by killing Frostwolves on the Horde side of the map. Note that hides will be difficult to collect at the beginning of the game since the majority of Frostwolves are located deep in Horde territory. 
[Stealth] players are best at farming these hides. It takes 25 hides to complete harnesses for all rams.
Reward: 10 Ironforge reputation, 1 Stormpike reputation.
Troop Improvement
Armor Scraps
Quest NPC: Murgot Deepforge
Location: Dun Baldar [43, 15]
Objective: Collect 20 Armor scraps
Required Number: 25 turnins (500 scraps) per upgrade level
Details: All humanoid corpses can potentially drop an item called Armor Scraps. These are turned in 20 at a time to Murgot Deepforge.
Rewards: In addition to a 10% armor buff for 30 min and Ironforge reputation, this quest also over many turn ins provides upgrades NPC troop units to higher quality units making them more effective in battle. You will know when your troops upgrade when Murgot Deepforge yells "Veteran units are entering the battle!". The following is the upgrade continuum for Alliance Guards:
- Level 55 - Stormpike Mountaineer
- Level 57 - Stormpike Guardsman

In addition, 1 Stormpike reputation is awarded for every turnins. Turnins can continue even at maximum guard level.
Mine Quests
Irondeep Supplies
Quest NPC: Stormpike Quarter Master
Location: Dun Baldar [43, 17]
Objective: Collect 10 Irondeep Supplies
Required Number: 28 turnins (or 280 supplies).
Details: There is a mine just north of Dun Baldar. At the start of AV the mine is filled with troggs that attack on sight. Within the mine are stacks of crates that can be looted for Irondeep Supplies. This is dangerous given the number of troggs in the mine. However, if you can kill the leader of the troggs within the mine (Morloch) the mine will then flood with Alliance guards and miners. You can then collect supplies unmolested.
The purpose of collecting the supplies is to send in a ground assault team of Commandos that will patrol the Field of Strife and eventually attack the Horde base.
Reward: 25 Ironforge reputation, 2 Stormpike reputation, 40
Coldtooth Supplies
Quest NPC: Stormpike Quarter Master
Location: Dun Baldar [43, 17]
Objective: Collect 10 Coldtooth Supplies

Details: There is a mine just north of Frostwolf Keep. At the start of AV the mine is filled with kobolds that attack on sight. Within the mine are stacks of crates that can be looted for Coldtooth Supplies. The major difference between this quest and Irondeep Supplies is that this mine is deep within Horde territory, yields a greater cash reward and requires less turnins.
The purpose of collecting the supplies is to send in a ground assault team of Commandos that will patrol the Field of Strife and eventually attack the Horde base. It takes 7 full loads of enemy supplies to send the inital wave of commandos, and 2 loads of enemy supplies thereafter to send successive waves.
Reward: 25 Ironforge reputation, 10 Stormpike reputation, 85 Alterac Valley
PC Killing Quests

Ivus Summoning Quests
Ivus the Forest Lord
Quest NPC: Arch Druid Renferal
Location: Dun Baldar [43, 12]
Objective: Collect 1 Storm Crystal
Required Number: 250 crystals
Details: Enemy PCs can drop Storm Crystals when killed. Returning these to Arch Druid Renferal assists in the summoning of Ivus the Forest Lord, a very powerful NPC that will assist the Alliance in the battleground. The Alliance requires 250 Storm Crystals to summon Ivus.
Once the Druids have enough crystals they move onto the field of strife and proceed to summon Ivus. If they are killed on the way all your hard work is wasted so it is worth making sure you are in control of the field of strife, or at least not all bottled us at the north end before summoning them.
Reward: 10 Ironforge reputation, 1 Stormpike reputation
Crystal Cluster
Quest NPC: Arch Druid Renferal
Location: Dun Baldar [43, 12]
