I was unable to find him near any 'ol Small Timber. He was actually in the same spot for two of my toons which leads me to believe it may not be random -- at least his position within any given zone might be the same.

I found him under his log, "Fallen Tree" yellow dot on my mini map, in Talador at 73.89, 28.18

Weldon Barov(Alliance), or Alexi Barov (Horde), is a follower that hangs out in your Lumber Mill and sells Spring-loaded Spike Trap. Followers and NPCs often share the same name, and most that we acquire from the world have a special identity (NPC ID Number). In this case, you would find the follower listed as Weldon Barov, Alexi Barov, or even as ... Weldon Barov - Alexi Barov which is the combined Alliance - Horde followers that share the same functions.

It is Weldon Barov(Alliance), or Alexi Barov (Horde), that sells Spring-loaded Spike Trap; and gives the quest Reduction in Force/Reduction in Force, which is one of the three steps required for Upgrading the Mill that enables you to purchase Lumber Mill, Level 3.

#1. START 75 work orders at your Lumber Mill

#2. Complete Reduction in Force (Alliance) or Reduction in Force (Horde)
- cut down lumber until Alexi Barov spawns, with his "band of brothers", or Weldon Barov spawns with his gnome harem. Kill Alexi Barov/Weldon Barov and loot /Head of Alexi Barov. They do not really spawn after you cut the tree down like the other mobs involved in these quests. You will simply see a dot for the tree you want to chop down, but when you arrive, the tree will not gear up with the sawblade cursor, and there will be a little group of hostile mobs surrounding it. You may not be able to target them immediately, but when you are close enough and they are in the mood, they will assault you and you can then kill them.

#3. Complete Legacy of the Ancients which starts from a Barkskin Tome, dropped by a Petrified Ancient.

FINDING Weldon Barov :

Once you build a Lumber Mill and have Apprentice Logging , you can save Weldon Barov and recruit him to your garrison. It seems Weldon Barov had a tree fall upon him and he needs you to remove the Fallen Tree with your Apprentice Logging or Journeyman Logging.

Fallen Tree can be found in many places and many zones. I have raised 2 characters since the expansion and raised 4 in the beta testing phase. All of my characters got Weldon Barov in the same place. I recommend:

/way Talador 73.7, 64.0 Weldon Barov (Fallen Tree - Requires Lumber Mill - Be Patient)

Fly to Terrokar Refuge, Talador and across the lake/river to the southeast (just a few yards away) is the Fallen Tree (uncertain of the respawn timer, but it is not too long). Use Apprentice Logging (or Journeyman Logging) on the Fallen Tree (the sawblade cursor will appear, and Fallen Tree shows on the minimap just as Small Timber does). Loot whatever item is offered -- THEN WAIT for Weldon Barov to appear. Eventually he will appear, and you talk to him. You will complete The Rise and Fall of Barov Industries: Weldon Barov to get Follower: Weldon Barov . Weldon Barov is now one of your Followers. When you return to your garrison, Weldon Barov will be standing at the front area of your Lumber Mill, offering you Reduction in Force.

FINDING Alexi Barov:

Once you build a Lumber Mill and have Apprentice Logging , you can save Weldon Barov and recruit him to your garrison. It seems Weldon Barov had a tree fall upon him and he needs you to remove the Fallen Tree with your Apprentice Logging or Journeyman Logging.

Fallen Tree can be found in many places and many zones. I have raised 2 characters since the expansion and raised 4 in the beta testing phase. All of my Alliance characters found the Fallen Tree got Weldon Barov in the same place. I went there with my Horde character and there was nothing. Perhaps it is totally random or changes ever so often. In which case my Alliance characters could have won the lottery with the odds against that happening.

My Horde character found Fallen Tree @:

/way Talador 54.3, 56.2 Alexi Barov (Fallen Tree - Requires Lumber Mill - Be Patient)

Fly to Exarch's Refuge, Talador where all the questing is done for the "Tomb of Lights". Norhtwest of the "Tomb of Lights" is a small body of water with a bridge going over it. Just at the edge of the southwest side of the bridge in the grass was the Fallen Tree. Use Apprentice Logging (or Journeyman Logging) on the Fallen Tree (the sawblade cursor will appear, and Fallen Tree shows on the minimap just as Small Timber does). Loot whatever item is offered -- THEN WAIT for Weldon Barov to appear. Eventually he will appear, and you talk to him. You will complete The Rise and Fall of Barov Industries: Weldon Barov to get Follower: Weldon Barov . Weldon Barov is now one of your Followers. When you return to your garrison, Weldon Barov will be standing at the front area of your Lumber Mill, offering you Reduction in Force.

Just found him close to the fallen tree... In Shadowmoon Valley, 61,63

Comment by piggsy

I have just found him for the second time in shadow moon valley just outside Arbor Glen, co-ord 46.17 31.43

Comment by MoonLite

Has a speech interaction option "I need you to come on patrol with me."

This will make him follow you around as your minion within the confines of your own Garrison; venturing outside your garrison will make him disappear.
He has 37219HP and 10954mana (at lvl95).

Question is... what is it good for? Does anyone know?
Perhaps usefull for distracting mobs in the mine?
Maybe a scenario where you have to defend the garrison?

It seems you can not turn in Reduction in Force if Weldon Barov is on a mission...

Comment by Pyroburn

Found Weldon Barov at Talador 54.30, 56.18 after looking for weeks!
After adding him as a follower he said he will go to my garrison.
I followed, and there is no sign of him?
I checked missions, he's not on a mission but is listed as a follower?
Checked all over my Garrison, re logged and still no sign of him.
