Where to find Wandering Protector

The spawn point
Zone	Map	x, y, z	GM teleport
Ashenvale	65.5, 44.0	2983, -2075, 202	`.go creature 32341`

“Map” is the position on the in-game world map, in percent from the top-left corner — the numbers coordinate addons show. The zone is read from the server’s terrain grid, the same lookup the server makes.

NPC data is exported from a copy of the world database of the Elwynn realm (2026-07-26) at WoW patch 1.12. Health assumes the default server rates; the reaction shown is the faction default, before any reputation. Vendor stock and greetings that depend on a condition are listed as if the condition were met.
