9. Ernest the Chicken

Difficulty: 3/10
Nostalgia: 8/10
Storyline: 7/10
Overall: 6.6/10

Ernest the Chicken is the best way for new players to familiarize themselves with Draynor Manor, and even with members quests included, it is arguably the most significant quest associated with the iconic structure to the north of Draynor Village.

Three items are needed in order to turn Ernest back into a human after Professor Oddenstein accidentally turned him into a chicken. None of them are particularly hard to acquire, though the lever maze can be a bit complicated if you lose track of where you are.

Like in Restless Ghost, there is a skeleton that can attack you once you have attained the key to acquire one of the items, but you do not need to fight back.

This is an ideal quest for speedrunners to do early on as well, as it doesn’t take more than a few minutes, thus making failed attempts less costly. And if you feel like taking a trip down memory lane by doing a quest 100 times without making 100 new accounts, this quest is for you.
