If you complete this questline on a Tauren or Highmountain Tauren, you will also be awarded Ancestor's Might and Ancestral Bloodhoof Totem.

Lvl 70 Highmountain Tauren Enhancement Shaman (leveld as Orc in 2012, race changed in 2016)

Friendly 5,999/6,000 with Thunderbluff
Exalted 21,000/21,000 with Highmoutain Tribe
Renown 1 with Maruuk Centaur (alt character) (Main renown 25) But I think Reputation and Renown doesen't matter.

Questline done on friday 24.03.2023. (3 days after patch 10.0.7. went live)
Before questing wardrobe showed under section "Two-handed mace" as "not collected- quest"
During accepting the quest, reward was shown to be given after completion as -epic quality one-handed mace with no stats.

Finishing the quest it sits in my wardrobe as collected, but only as Two-handed mace. Sadge, as shaman post legion, you're bound to use dual wield single handed weapons, but hey, if I ever wanted to play a warrior I can now!

Bonus: Tauren heritage cloak (Totem) is tilted as " \ " on your back, and this mace also sheaths on your back but as " / " making a cross
Update: The actual cloak comes on top of your weapon, hiding it. Weapon totem stays on your back if you use regular cloaks. Just looks funny, you're wearing a totem on your back, you pull it out in your hand, totem stays on your back and now you have 2

Con: Your character needs to be level 58 to transmog it, so you cannot level your alts 1-58 showing this.

Completing this on a Tauren/HM Tauren also has special flavor text:

<name>, without you this journey would have ended differently.
Thank you for staying by my side during this ordeal.

Beyond that, you have opened my eyes to a new path forward.
A path I never dreamt possible for our people.
This is worthy of a special gift.

These totems are inscribed with the history of our people.
A history steeped in the blood of the centaur.

But you have taught me that though we must not
forget our past, we need not be chained by it.

Take these totems with my deepest gratitude.

Honestly as a tauren player since '05, it's a nice full circle moment.

Well, that's done. Now Baine has a new place to sit out an expansion.

Comment by Povelitel

Fun fact: after the Old Hatreds questline, Rexxar, Rokhan, and Chen Stormstout have come to help the Tauren and Centaur rebuild Toghusuq Village.
Heroes of the past are reflecting on their past adventures with Baine and Bovan when you talk to them.

If you complete this questline and your Tauren/Highmountain is a class that cannot equip maces, it will not be awarded Ancestor's Might for your account.

I should have expected this after running into the same issue on my Bloodelf DemonHunter doing the Belf questline and not unlocking Veil-Touched Ranseur until I did it a second time on a class that can wield polearms, so it's my fault. I forgot that hunters cannot equip maces... Blizzard does has the ability to allow cosmetics to be learned by any class as we've seen in Zereth Mortis, but they didn't do that for these quests. Whoops!

I completed this on a tauren priest. Did not receive the mace or cloak. Luckily I have a highmountain tauren I can use instead, but possibly the race combo of tauren priest is not working correctly for this.

Comment by SilverDragon234

Good thing Baine gives Tomul an apology after some much needed humbling.

Comment by scharky
