World of Warcraft Dragonflight introduces engaging quests that tie into the profession system, and the **Targeted Ads** quest stands out as an accessible entry point for players looking to build reputation with the Artisan’s Consortium – Dragon Isles Branch. This quest kicks off a weekly chain offering valuable **Artisan’s Mettle**, a currency essential for profession advancements. Situated in the vibrant Ohn’ahran Plains, it requires recovering promotional flyers scattered by wind and snatched by local wildlife. Completing it grants reputation boosts and sets the stage for ongoing rewards.
Quest Overview and Prerequisites
The **Targeted Ads** quest (ID: 69915) is available to players who have progressed sufficiently in Dragonflight’s main storyline, particularly those exploring the Dragon Isles professions hub. No high-level gear or complex mechanics are needed; it’s designed for mid-level characters around level 60-70. The quest giver, Azley, is located at coordinates /way #2023 72.03 81.09 in Ohn’ahran Plains, near the crafting area bustling with activity.
Key details include:
- Zone: Ohn’ahran Plains (#2023)
- Level: Scales with player level
- Reputation Gain: 50 with Artisan’s Consortium
- Rewards: Choice between Chef’s Smooth Rolling Pin or Draconium Fisherfriend, plus 9,350 XP
This quest is repeatable weekly as part of the “Show Your Mettle” chain, making it a staple for profession enthusiasts.
Finding the Quest Starter
Head to the Artisan’s Consortium area in Ohn’ahran Plains. Azley, an enthusiastic NPC promoting the new Crafting Order service, greets players with excitement: “Hi, hi, hi! You looking for a gig?” She’s easy to spot amid the tents and workbenches. Interact with her to accept the task of retrieving lost flyers advertising public and personal crafting orders.
If you’ve already completed prerequisite Dragon Isles quests, this one unlocks immediately. For newcomers, ensure you’ve unlocked the Valdrakken profession hub through the main campaign.
Recovering the Flyers: Step-by-Step
The core objective is to collect three specific flyers from two goat mob types: Forkriver Goats and Meddlesome Goats. These mobs roam the plains nearby, making the farming straightforward but potentially grindy due to drop rates.
Target Items:
| Flyer Name | Drop Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| “Order Anything Crafters Make!” | Forkriver Goat / Meddlesome Goat | Fast drop rate reported by many players |
| “Public Orders: Fast and Made For You!” | Forkriver Goat / Meddlesome Goat | May require killing multiple goats |
| “Custom High-Quality Gear: Better Business with Personal Orders!” | Forkriver Goat / Meddlesome Goat | Quick drops common |
Spawn locations cluster around Azley’s position, within a short ride. Expect 5-15 kills per flyer, depending on RNG. Goats are neutral until aggroed and drop items directly into your bags upon looting.
Tips for Efficient Farming
- Clear packs of goats in a loop around /way #2023 72-77 78-82 for optimal spawns.
- Use AoE abilities if playing a class like Hunter or Mage to speed up kills.
- Drop rates improve slightly with higher reputation, but base farming is quick (5-10 minutes).
Once all three flyers are recovered, return to Azley to turn in. Progress updates in real-time as you loot.

Integration with Dragonflight Professions
The Crafting Order system, advertised in flyers, lets players commission gear without gathering. This quest immerses you in that economy, encouraging public orders for fast crafts or personal ones for customs.
Build rep here to access exclusive recipes, synergizing with gathering professions in Ohn’ahran Plains.
Advanced Strategies for Repeat Runs
Multi-boxers farm efficiently; solos use macros for looting. Track rep via addons like ArtisanInfo for mettle projections.
