It's just outside the town, when you free them, they'll give you blessing of might also heals you around 5k-7k

Kommentar von Tarmac

83, 71 - outside Argent Vanguard

If you have your Shadow Quality set to High, you may be able to tell which of the cocoons have nerubians in them. Their spidery figures will be silhouetted on the ground in front of the cocoon itself. It may also be visible as a larger shadow if you have your configuration set lower.

Edit: This may be something only those with certain systems will be able to see. I am running Mac OS X and have a Mac Pro with an ATI Radeon 1900 XT.

A hint, attack them melee. I casted Siphon Life on the Webbed Crusaders but no Crusaders were freed, then I used my staff on it and it worked fine.

A reference to the TV show "Scare Tactics".

Kommentar von 219351

The npc's that are freed for the objective are Freed Crusader

I must've gotten lucky, I actually got all 8 in a row, and didn't have to worry about those icky nerubians :D

Kommentar von jynxycat

I can't help but think of Spider-Man when I read Webbed Crusader :P

Kommentar von 152670

Note for hunters: Do not use your pet to attack/open the webbed crusaders. I had my cat open more than 40 of them without a single crusader being freed; many simply turned up empty (although I got loads of nerubians from others!) before I woke up and started shooting them myself. After that about 1 in 3 contained a crusader. I don't know if this applies to locks' or DKs' minions, but if you find that you're not turning up any crusaders, this would be the reason. You have to hit them yourself.

Kommentar von 258655

I found that the absolute best way to complete this quest was to just run around and give each cocoon a single hit with my axe then run to the next one.

If the cocoon contains an enemy, you will be launched through the air, but shouldn't be too far from another cocoon. Just carry on and hit another one and when you eventually uncover a friendly unit, he will grant you Blessing of Kings (I never turn down a free +10% to all stats) and will also cast a heal on you, which will draw aggro from all of the bad guys you have following you (provided you just moved on without hitting them).

Easy and fun quest.

Kommentar von captirrelevant

"Blessing of.." That you receive will depend on your class.

If you're melee, you'll get Might, If you're a caster, you'll get wisdom. For classes like Shaman, Hunter etc I'm not too sure, it may or may not then depend on your spec. :-p

Overall, such a courteous gift that they give you for rescuing them, along with the healing.

Kommentar von Astralen

A note for mages :

Not much of help maybe but you can know if a cocoon has a spider in it or not by casting Living Bomb. If the bomb instantly blows up the cocoon upon landing then its a spider. If the bomb blows the cocoon after two seconds (DoT hits) as it normally should then you know that its not a spider.

Kommentar von 284455

If you are a Paladin, use Sense Undead to determine which one have the soldiers in them, or undead spideys.

Kommentar von SkylineBNR34

Freed Crusaders are buggy. Their Holy Light will put you in combat, so if you're mounting or stealthing while you bounce between cocoons, do that before the cast on their Holy Light finishes.

Fun fact: It used to be possible for their Blessing and Holy Light to miss, but either that got hotfixed or I have really bad luck with Cloak of Shadows (possible).

Kommentar von 131451

fun trick for feral druids - use faery fire on the cocoons, if there IS a spider, it will pop out of the ground without throwing you back 20 yards. if there is a soldier, it counts as setting him free.

Kommentar von 262983

Their blessing of might (for my warrior, anyway) stacked with my improved battleshout, had a bloodbath with both buffs up.

Kommentar von 177671

As a paladin, you can use the new Hand of Reckoning to destroy the cocoons from a safe distance - they only have 1 HP.

The Icecrown is done! Leave your comments/sugestions at my comment in Icecrown zone. Thanks everyone who helped me to make it via comments on wowhead and in-game pre-quest tracking.

Kommentar von Bareno

I kept attacking the NPC's Called "Webbed Crusaders", but either one of two things would happen, it would just die and nothing happens, no freed NPC, or I'd get knocked back and an ambusher would spawn, Help? :\

Kommentar von 342320

Ok so we get a free 350 AP buff for 30 minutes anytime we want? Why would I hand this quest in? (Edit: sarcasm)

And why didn't I find out about it as soon as I was able to fly....

The free buff is great for solo questing in and around Icecrown - Stormpeaks - Crystalsong basin and anywhere else you can think of.

Kommentar von 343601

thx for this

Kommentar von 357783

If you have a taunt you can use on the "webbed crusader" and if it isnt a forgotten depths ambusher then nothing will happen but if it is a forgotten depths ambusher it will pop out and attack.

Kommentar von 375496

I actually got both spiders and the soldiers, but i never got any further with the quest. Aint i suposed to actually get a count when i free the soldiers? :S

Kommentar von 414949

For hunters, make sure your pet is on passive before you start this quest or when you hit the pods. If you dont, then you will not get the count. As mentioned above, you can use track undead to see which pods have the mob in it.

Kommentar von yamuu

by all other tricks there is a warrior one also you charge the web thing if it succesfully charges then its a crusader if it says no path availeble it is a spider

Kommentar von 11342

What's the chance of their being a crusader in an egg? I've destroyed over 20 eggs and almost all have been spiders. The ones that aren't spiders have just been empty.

Kommentar von hynch

Prepare to spend quite a while on this quest. The frequency at which spiders spawn is much much greater than that of the crusaders. It took me about 30 webs to get my 8 crusaders.

Kommentar von jcj64200031

There is actually a trick to doing this. I had no problem doing this on my mage, but when I did it on my rogue, they rarely spawned until I switched to shooting them with a bow. then on my DK, icy touch and death coil both worked quiet well, spawning only 1 spider, and when I accidentally death gripped a web since it's bound to my death coil in a macro, the death grip hit before the death coil, and a spider spawned.

so, I hypothesize that in order to free a crusader, 2 things need to happen:

1. the web must die in 1 hit.
2. the web must not agro on you before the 1 hit.

channeled spells will aggro the web before it ticks, so a spider will spawn. instant cast spells typically kill the web and cause a crusader to spawn. there is still of course a chance to have a spider spawn.

the problem with trying to melee the webs open is that you often range aggro the webs right before you hit them, so they spawn a spider. if you're a caster, this should be easy for you, just use a spell that hits without aggro before hand, and for melee, get a range wepon of some sort, the webs are lv 1, so even an unskilled person can hit them.

Kommentar von d0zer1984

The two that worked was 85.87, 74.03 then 84.77, 75.95 but the second one was about 50/50. It sometimes would pop the big spiders.

Kommentar von 293788

HUNTERS: If you have your tracking set to Undead, the webs will show up as being the ambushers if they are not the crusaders. This way you can tell easily which are the cocoons you need to go for.

Kommentar von Deadmans444

I'd also like to say that the blessing of might that these guys cast stacks with a pally's BoM. We get +900 attack power during this quest. Good stuff.

Kommentar von Harmony323

I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence but I was getting very low rates of crusaders vs Ambushers (1:6) until I moved over to the left side of the road that comes out of the Argent Vanguard. Once I moved to that left side I had 100% crusaders.

Kommentar von Melesmelda

I can confirm that this still works as of Cataclysm; if it's got a Nerubian in it the cocoon will break, but if it's a crusader you'll have to break it manually.

Kommentar von 349242

Make sure you are attacking the webbed crusaders with a white hit, not with a spell or a pet. I just ran around on my warlock for 15 minutes before I realized this.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

About 50% good rest are large spiders. around 83,74 or just west of camp.

Die Taktik der Geißel

Kreuzzugskommandant Entari in der Argentumvorhut von Eiskrone bittet Euch, 8 eingesponnene Kreuzfahrer zu befreien.

	Festsitzende Kreuzfahrer befreit (8)

Beschreibung

Das Überraschungsmoment war auf unserer Seite! Wir sprengten einen Durchgang in die Bergwand und fielen in Geißelholme ein. Die Streitkräfte der Geißel kämpften erbittert und es dauerte nicht lange, bis wir überwältigt wurden. Wir wurden ins Tal zurückgedrängt und begannen damit, mit Artillerie auf die Verfolger der Geißel zu schießen. Wir konnten sie dadurch einige Zeit aufhalten, bis... diese Monster damit begannen, unsere Kreuzfahrer als lebende Schutzschilde zu missbrauchen. Aus Angst, unsere eigenen Soldaten zu töten, mussten wir den Beschuss einstellen.

Befreit unsere Kreuzfahrer, die auf dem Feld außerhalb des Camps gefangen sind, <Klasse>!
