While the Dragon Isles were locked away from the rest of Azeroth for thepast 10,000 years, other factions have made the vast terrain their hunting grounds. One such group is the Maruuk Centaur, whose relationship with the Green Dragonflight goes back several millennia, even before the War of the Ancients and the first coming of the Burning Legion.

The rewards given from a particular hunt depend on how many times a character has participated in the event that week. The first time offers up the best rewards, including 20 Centaur Hunting Trophies, which can be turned in for reputation, a Grand Hunt Spoils, which can contain a plethora of useful items, including gear, and the chance of getting the Plainswalker Bearer mount.
7Help The Aylaag Clan
Once the player has raised their Renown level to 4 withthe Maruuk Centaur faction, they can start assisting the Aylaag Clan, a group of nomad centaurs who will welcome characters into their makeshift home in the Ohn’ahran Plains.
The Aylaag Clan will provide players with more daily quests, including herding Wandering Argali back to the camp, killing certain Elite creatures for items, placing incense in particular locations, and setting traps for unsuspecting prey. These quests are a great way to grind reputation with the Maruuk Centaur Clans faction, as well as get more Dragon Isles Supplies. The Aylaag Clan camp will move every five hours, so be sure to check the new location on the map before setting out.
6Home Away From Home
Just because the Maruuk Centaur don’t have a fixed address inWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight, it doesn’t mean that they don’t make their camps as homely as possible. At Renown level 3, players will be able to purchase the Comfortable Pile of Pelts, Maruuk Cooking Pot, and the Very Comfortable Pelt, whichare all toys soldby Quartermaster Huseng in Maruukai.
While the two pelts offer a cozy place to rest between quests and dungeons, the Maruuk Cooking Pot allows cooking wherever it is placed. Toy hunters will want to raise their Renown with the Maruuk Centaur Clans faction if they want to add these homely items to their collection.
5Exclusive Mounts
At Renown level 9, players can start a questline with Quartermaster Huseng in Maruukai, which eventually awards the player with Lizi’s Reins, a mount that will take five days to complete.To earn this mount, players should start the Initiate’s Day quest, which is given by Initiate Radiya in Ohn’ahran Plains.
For every first time a player competes in the Great Hunt, they will have the chance to loot the Plainswalker Bearer mount. This mount will only drop from the epic Grand Hunt Spoils, so patience is key when trying to obtain this ridable mammoth.
4A Pet To Help In The Hunt
At Renown Level 9, players will receive either a Bakar or Ohuna pet that will help them during the Grand Hunt. To choose a companion, speak to Trainer Frodrum, who can be found at the Grand Hunt location. Each of the pet types offers different bonuses, such as Ohuna granting 60% movement speed after killing an enemy.
There are several Bakar to choose from, with some having specific ways to get them to join the player. Elam and Hugo appear at the Aylaag Clan camp; Soyoo requires The Trouble with Taivan quest to be completed, while Fogl, Zephyr, Elaichi, Pesca, and Tseg all require the Release the Hounds quest. In total, there are 20 different dogs to choose from.
