How to Start the Brave Researchers Questline in World of Warcraft Dragonflight

Research is not searching twice, you know.

Not every mission in every game must include getting rid of a high ranking enemy or sieging a castle, or even battling several bosses at once. Every once in a while, a romance story will be left for us to complete. Maybe a collection job is required of us to accomplish. Or maybe we just have to sit down through several cutscenes in a row. Anyway, there are many low-profile missions in video games, and the research-type quests are among them. Today, we will talk about how to start the Brave Researchers questline in World of Warcraft Dragonflight. Prepare yourself for some researching extravaganza!

How to Start the Brave Researchers Questline

In order to start the Brave Researchers questline, you will have to travel all the way to The Walking Shores. On the south most part of the map, there is a location called Dragonscale Basecamp, with a literal Dragonscale Basecamp located there as well, on the top of one of the high cliffs of the north-eastern part of the area. This expedition is specialized in researching wildlife behavior. In order to start the Brave Researchers questline, you will have to speak to the NPC called Iyali.

Iyali will ask you to help with a research study. Click on the “Behavior Analysis “Homework”” option and then accept the quest. You will have to pet 3 Sleeping Whelps and report back their reactions. They are located a little south-west from your location, and each of them will be inside circles on your map. Be wary, however, since you will have to fight some dragon enemies along the way. Once you have petted all 3 Sleeping Whelps, report back to Iyali and you will complete the quest and successfully start the Brave Researchers Questline.
