He is the most famous widower in World of Warcraft: Mankrik. After 18 years, the time has come, he is finally looking for a new wife …
In World of Warcraft, there are numerous quests that have stuck in the minds of players. However, one legendary questline has triggered traumatic flashbacks even after many years – the search for Mankrik’s wife. But with patch 10.0.5, this story is likely to take a whole new turn. Because Mankrik seems to have finally managed to let go.
Who is Mankrik? The search for “Mankrik’s Wife” is one of the oldest and best-known quests in World of Warcraft, which existed back in the “Vanilla” days. This is because the search was quite difficult and there were no indicators – such as a marked area – of where the wife could be found. However, Mankrik’s wife is dead, which made the search even more challenging. However, Mankrik’s story is not over yet, as it seems that he is ready for a new relationship.
What’s new in patch 10.0.5? Those wandering near the new trading post in Orgrimmar can see Mankrik haggling over a purchase. We have the translated dialogue that takes place there for you.
Mankrik: “Shiri.”
Shiri: “Mankrik, how can I help you?”
Mankrik: “I am looking for a new sword.”
Shiri: “Alright, anything else?”
Mankrik mumbles something quietly.
Shiri: “What was that, man?”
Mankrik: “… I said I also want a bracelet, a nice one.”
Shiri: “We only sell nice ones. Who is it for?”
Mankrik: “… Mahka.”
Shiri: “Good for you, it’s about time.”
Mankrik grunts.
Who is Mahka? Mahka is an orc woman from the Earthen Ring and has been by Mankrik’s side since Cataclysm. She had shown interest in him back then, but Mankrik was still too distracted by his grief. Apparently, this has changed in the last few years, so Mankrik is now taking the step forward.
What about his wife? Mankrik’s wife had already died in Classic. You can find the corpse of Olgra further south in the Barrens. In Shadowlands, however, players learn where Olgra’s soul has gone. She has come to Maldraxxus and taken on a much rougher form to fulfill her duties in this realm. Many may have simply walked past her without ever realizing who was actually standing before them.
Patch 10.0.5 also introduces the trading post and brings a lot of new rewards.
