Just kill the ogres at Laughing Skull Ruins, click the banner and you will pierce the body with it. Be sure not to stand in the body though, because you might pierce yourself to, I got stuck like 5 times. ;)

If you spam click the banner as the mob dies you can get credit for about 3-4 banners. Got it done in about 2 mins by using this method. :p

jameseh method works just finished it in about 2 minutes just click as many times and it counts for about 3-4 banners

Comment by 11547

i used jameseh's method today (feb 14, 2007), however i didn't even have to spam it right as they died -- just kill them, then spam it -- i was able to get 2 each time. it took about half the time.

i was also able to put flags on other people's kills -- just wait for them to kill them and leave, then go put your banner on them.

while doing this quest i was charged but a 70 warr..i cried a bit...and the timne it took to crie gave the orges time to put out all the dead boddies...so i get my quest completed...
i supose that if u are a rouge or druid u can just sthealt from u tolde them to plant boddies, so ppl if u die while doing this, dont relaes ur spirit.

The good thing about this quest is if other people beat you to the kill you can still plant the flag on the bodies. Talk about a walk in the park.

I'm 65 and I can't pick up this quest..any ideas?

Comment by Maunotavast

Rather than spamming the banner, you could create a macro to use the item 20 times.
/use Kil'sorrow Banner x 20 won't fit into the 255 character limit, though, but "/use 0 1" x 20 will :P (it will use the item in the first slot of your first bag (backpack), so put the banner in that slot)

Just tried this out today (6th of May, 2007). I got 4 banners planted on one corpse and the remaining 16 on the next one :P

Comment by 16226

Grouping with other people will allow them to get credit for planted banners aswell.

Comment by 34266

Idk if it was as of 2.1 but since 5/27 the banner has a cool down of like 5 seconds.

Comment by 72561

For some reason, this guy doesnt have the yellow explanation point above his head to accept ANY quests, is this part of a chain somewhere else?

I tried this at 64, so yes, i was at quest requirements...

plz help!

Comment by 80942

Can anyone tell me where I can pickup this quest and "Body of Evidence" please? I can't get info on it anywhere

Comment by 89773

I found the Blazing Warmaul Pyre at 46.6, 24.2

Comment by 7784

The banner will not work on the Warmaul ogres on Warmaul Hill.

Make sure you only do this quest at Laughing Skull Ruins.

Comment by Bartur

Handing in this quest and "Body of Evidence" gives you the followup "Message to Telaar

Comment by Gargon

Can confirm now you cant spam the banner or use a macro to do loads on one corpse.

Comment by Jachammer

Indeed. Confirmed post 2.4. You will have to leech on other people's kills or just kill 20 of them :P

Comment by Banksy

I recommend not standing "inside" the bodies when you plant, as it is possible to become "stuck" in the banner for the ~minute that it takes for it to despawn, leaving you unable to move.

Comment by alavendine

Ok. I found the quest giver... but he isnt giving me the quests.. does it have something to do with rep. or another quest?..

Comment by Sventhedark

To be able to get this quest from him as Horde you need to do the quest chain: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9888

And for Alliance the quest chain: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9917

Returning the Favor

Lantresor of the Blade at the Burning Blade Ruins in Nagrand wants you to drive 10 Kil'sorrow Banners through the bodies of Warmaul ogres at the Laughing Skull Ruins.

Return any unused Kil'sorrow Banners.

	Kil'sorrow Banner Planted (10)
	Kil'sorrow Banner (Provided) (1)

Description

Now you must plant the seed of war in the fat, useless heads of the Warmaul. To the northwest, near the mountains, you will find the Laughing Skull Ruins.

<Lantresor points into the crate of armaments you brought him.>

Do you recognize those banners? They are Kil'sorrow banners. I want you to take a stack of Kil'sorrow banners and plant them on the corpses of Warmaul ogres. Remember, northwest is where you will find the ogres.
