Tough to solo, but do-able. The tower you're looking for is at 46, 74. Plant the banner on top of the tower to start the event.

You'll face several waves of ogre baddies, starting with just two. The waves spawn at the foot of the tower, run all the way to the top, and then turn aggressive towards you. You can get to about midtower and drink without them aggroing if you run through them as they go up.

The mobs themselves are pretty standard orcs, no elites. As a mage, I polymorphed one mob, and then used the circular ramp to frostnova and kite the remaining ones until they're dead. Then, I can kill the last poly no problem.

There are four waves. I'm not sure if the waves are the same each time. These are the waves I got.

- 2 orcs
- 3 orcs
- 3 orcs
- Gurn Grubnosh

Gurn himself is no big deal - he hits kinda hard, but some good crowd control/roots will take care of that.

The quest text talks like the quest is an elite, my guess is that it will be come BC release.

Commento di 13095

It seems that the event doesn't end when you die, so what I did was just graveyard zerged it kinda. Sloppy but it works.

Commento di Borric

To get the banner you have to kill the champion at 42,46. Really simple. Also It goes

-2 Orcs
-3 Orcs
-4 Orcs
- Gurn Grubnosh

Commento di 15277

Another champion spawns inside the hut at 40, 57.

Commento di pearfire575

The banners are hold by Champions, there are 2 huts with 2 floors, there's a ramp on the side of each. I got it after some minutes of roaming around the camp. Hope that helps.

Commento di 18004

soloed it as lvl 70 warrior. 2-3-3
not hard at all, as you get time between waves to eat. but shadowmeld might have helped me with that.

Commento di Seks

Easily soloed as a 67 paladin. Watch out for the respawn of the original two guards at the top of the tower though. They respawned on me as I was fighting Gurn.

Gurn has an enrage where he will swing 300% faster and hit for 150% more, but will get dizzy after that for a few seconds.

I guess it could be hard for a hunter to solo as you don't have enough space to maneuver and will have to melee.

Commento di Valaran

Pretty easily soloable as a 67 frost mage. Sheeped 1 add, froze the other 2 and just burned them down ... usually didn't get through Ice Barrier. Gurn was easy, nova'able and slowable and he was a joke.

Commento di Malak

I got my banner at 41,46 in a small hut "Bladefire Champion"
Secon champion in 40,58

Commento di 21124

Solo'd fairly easily as a lvl68 warlock. Use lots of fear/howl of terror on the waves to cut down the incoming damage. Use a voidwalker to keep one busy (succubus will go oom - this is a long fight). There's about 15 seconds between waves to regen to full. The boss is trivial to drain tank.

Commento di asciident

Amazingly, it seems that if you die during the waves, but still get back to the tower quickly you can complete the quest. I was able to solo this as a 68 frost mage even with a death during the second wave (didn't manage to hit my health pot fast enough). Gurn was indeed a joke compared to previous elites who are immune to freeze.

Commento di koshi

Solo'able for rogues, just sap one and take care of the rest. The only cooldowns I burned were Evasion and Blind (to bandage up). After the battles, eat and stealth right away, make sure to stay away from the stairs or you'll aggro when then arrive.

Commento di 23733

As previously said, if you die the event continues, just run back to the banner and finish off the fight. Gurn is pretty tough for a non-elite

Commento di cheboy

Ok, actaully not that tough. Soloed as a 68 hunter.

Just keep the freeze traps up and if u need to regen, do it between fights, and go to the end corner.. shadow meld if you can.

taking on two of these mobs for a hunter is easy.

42,46 is to get the flag.
46, 74. is the Tower where you place the Flag.

is the following -
-2 Orcs
-3 Orcs
-4 Orcs
- Gurn Grubnosh

info above is from other posts and are correct.

Commento di manub

Easily soloable as a 68 Shadow Priest. No need to use CD like Shadowfiend or Symbol of Hope (if you are Draenei). You can drink whilst the waves reach you on top of the tower... just Fear, VT, VE and kill one mob at a time. The named hits really hard when he goes on frenzy, save your fear for that moment. Beware of the respawns, I started immediately after killing the Skirmisher atop the tower and they spawned again 5 secs after I killed the named.

Commento di nakomaru

Despite what most people seem to think, all of the mobs in this event are ogres, not orcs.

Commento di 31660

Are there a Horde Counterpart for this?
I think I remember a quest when I had to kill that fellow, but I just cant find it anywhere.

Commento di 35705

Easy soloable!
Did it with my lvl 66 feral druid
Just heal in the brakes

Commento di 18906

Did it easily as a lvl 67 affliction warlock, had VW out and he kep em busy while I dotted them down, just Howl of Terror or Fear when he goes into rage

Commento di Shot

solo with 69 warrior.

2 ogres, 3 ogres, 3 ogres, Gurn

All non-elite, Gurn himself is a regular 67. That rage hits hard for the brief time it is active though. Was able to sit at the far side of the tower and eat without agro between each wave - they just stood and waited.

Commento di 29920

Solo'ed with a 67 destro lock with a voidwalker. Make sure to have plenty of food + water... as soon as you kill the last guy start eating until the next mob gets there. Not difficult.

Commento di 41316

Soloed as a 67 Hunter Beast spec. Easy alot of time before waves and drop a trap.

Commento di 149

Next to the tower is a big rock with a flat top. If things go badly, you can jump on it to make the enemies evade, saving you from certain death.

Commento di ruck

Solod as a 65 warrior, really tricky, must make use of all abilities...

Also use a bandage after his first enrage while he is exhausted, then fear at the next one (or disarm)

Commento di 52655

Completed very easily as a level 68 druid.

Stayed in catform the whole fights and poped out for a heal between the waves. Used Pounce at one of the mobs each wave since I found it hard to attack any ogres from behind.

Soloable fo sho =)

Commento di inspectre

Soloed easy. 69 Resto shaman. Popped out the fire elemental just for fun.

Commento di 8974

soloed as 69 hunter.

Commento di swash

really easy quest @ 67 demonology warlock. time between attacks are long enough to bandage you and your felguard. remember mana potions or simply use tab life and then bandage. all ogres are fearable including gurn grubnosh.

Commento di Fallerup

yes, the easiest way is always suggested, I soloed this quest as a 66 rogue, but I died a few times, but it worked fine... prob. more easy with a healing class or something... but still works:)

Commento di Rawbert

Make sure you check all three spots. The champion can spawn around 48, 50; 38, 57; and 42, 69.

Commento di Salali

Solo by 67 DW/Fury war, went smooth except a pat on the ramp to the tower respawned on the big boss and I got nailed, had to run back, kill him, then kill boss...so make it fast when you do this

btw He doesn't despawn as soon as you die...so hurry back!

Commento di 71230

I did this quest at lvl 68 rogue, soloed easy. The only thing to remember is the respawns.

You can use vanish on every group even on boss, so if u have litle HP then vansih and run donw the ramp and eat, sun back and kill the dude(s).

After doing this quest u get https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=10580

Commento di Wizardwiz

Very easily soloed as a 69 warrior. Just kill the last dude of each pack in the ramp and eat sum of yer cheese, then just charge from the edge of the ramp and kill the next pack, again killing the last dude on the ramp. Boss was no problem either. Easy. ^.^

Commento di eDGe87

Easilly soloed as a lvl 67 retri Paladin. I like that trick by the ramp :) a + for you mate!

Commento di Jirek

If there are people grinding ogres at the outpost make sure they dont get tag-happy on Grubnosh when he does spawn. -.- /cry

Commento di ostrichdeity

Very easily solo'd as a 67 warlock. Just fear gron and he's cake.

Commento di 66920

where is the tower i went to all of them in bladespire and still can't find it

Commento di chimera

Soloed with 68 dw fury warrior. I always ate between the waves.
First wave (2 ogres): nothing, just dps
Second wave (3 ogres): health pot (be sure to kill the geomancer first)
Third wave (3 ogres): death wish
Boss: recklessness, then bandage while boss is feared
Very exciting quest!

Commento di 76660

65 Warlock Solo.

wave 1: two melee
- DoT them both, howl of terror, drain life.
wave 2: two melee, one caster
- Keep DoTs up on all three as best you can. Howl of Terror, and I recommend fearing the caster while they're all running so you only have to deal with two at a time. Drain life from the melees then deal with the caster in the same fashion.
wave 3: three melee (two goons and a lookout)
- Same technique as wave two, fear any of three over the Howl of Terror, keep DoTs up, use Drain Life and Death Coil to keep your HP up.
wave 4: Gurn Grubnosh
- Start this out with a fear, and get as many DoTs as possible up on this guy. If he's in your LoS, use Shadow Bolt or anything you're comfortable with to DPS him down. If not in your LoS and he ran down the tower with your fear, just wait up top for him, and greet him with more DoTs and a fear when he comes back up. Rinse and repeat twice or three times and he's done.

Commento di 45169

Here is something I found out. If you are lucky and some poor soul has tried to do the quest, but kept failing and giving up, you may end up climbing the tower to find some enemies there like I did. This meant I had 1 less wave to worry about when completing the quest, although this is down to pure luck. Just be considerate though, someone may still be doing the quest.

Commento di 73763

its a bit hard to solo on a lvl 67 druid. but if you heal between the waves and sometimes on gurn grubnosh. its simpel. i had bad luck when i was fighting him the respawn came

Commento di 70887

I did this quest when I was a lvl 66 Draenei, Beastmaster Hunter.

It took me a while to find the Champion so I could get the banner. That was actually the hardest part, since I never bothered to look up his location :)

When I had the banner, it was pretty straightforward. Ride down to the area with the tower, down in the south. Kill about 4 mobs to get to the tower. Run up to the top, while killing one mob on the way up and 1 at the top. Planted the banner and waited for the first 2 mobs. When they came I set an explosive trap, had my pet charge one ogre, whilst i took care of the other one.
Refilled my health and mana, while waiting for the 2nd wave.
Same thing now, pet on one Ogre, explosive trap. Now i however also used "The Beast Within", sending my pet and me into a frenzy.
Another refill of health and mana, followed by the same thing, but with 4 Ogres. A bit harder but never went beneath 1/4 HP.
Last refill of health and mana.
Took out the last guy, pretty easy.

Tried this earlier on my Warlock, had no succes then, due to bad armor.

Commento di 92440

There is alot of good info about the locations of the champion and the tower. This is just a tip for rogues

I was able to solo this as a level 67 combat swords rogue. Easier than I expected, didn't have to use a health pot.

Tips:
For the first wave just dps both down, no cooldowns needed.

For 2nd wave, make sure you are stealthed at the top of the tower (after either bandaging or eating until full health). The three mobs will make their way up from the bottom. Make sure you target the geomancer and mash your opener as it arrives at the top. There will be a period where the mobs are unable to be attacked, but if you keep hitting your opener (I recommend cheap shot) you will get it off before they hit you. For this wave use Blade fury and cloak of shadows to stop some damage from the caster. Should be a fairly simple affair

3rd wave: Same as 2nd in that you need to make sure you get your opener off before they hit you. Target any mob as they all are melee classes and do roughly the same damage. Once you get your opener off and have slice and dice active use evasion + adrenaline rush to burn them down.

Final wave: Simple make sure you have full health and burn him :) One thing to remember is that he enrages so make sure you have some combo points for a kidney shot. His enrage should wear about the same time as your stun. When he is not enraged he dosent hit that hard so you will kill him before he kills you.

Hope that helps.

Commento di 92400

If you complete the chain of 5 man quests from Mog'dorg you will become 'king' of the ogres and they will be neutral to you. This includes the waves of mobs from this quest. Simply sit and drink/eat take your time as they will run to the top and just stand about looking at you until you attack them. Makes it a very easy quest to solo.

See: https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=22941

Being neutral with the ogres makes just about all the other ogre related quests you might be doing rather simple.

Commento di Nivrax

Adding all coments up: this quest is wrongly labeled as group (especially the "3 players" part). You just have to fight multiple standard mobs at once, simple cc is usually enough to make this quest soloable, not to mention that you have plenty of time between waves to eat and drink.

Commento di syth

in the hut at 42,46 the is a named Ogre (Korgaah)? I this the 'champion'?

Commento di 60839

i just soloed with my 67 rogue its easy for a rogue just kill one or two when they come (using evasion if u want) and then vaish and kill those who left before very easy

Commento di 46934

Im not sure exactly when it happen, but this quest is bugged. After the second wave no more ogres come up and thats that. I Talked to a Gm tonight about it(Oct 29, 07) and they are aware of the quest having issues.

Commento di smoo

Rogue:

1. Clear Tower.
2. Start Event.
3. First Wave: Stealth. Wait for them to turn Aggro, distract, sap one. Kill one.
4. Second Wave: Stealth. Wait again, Sap one. Bladefury remaining both.
5. Third Wave: Stealth. Wait, Sap. Attack one, Blind the other, kill while blind, or get him as low as possible.
6. Repeat Step 4.
7. Kill the "boss". Make sure to start evasion when he turns crazy (~40%)

Commento di 104766

Soloed as a 66 enhancement shaman. Just nuked the first 2, on the 2nd group I popped my earth elemental, having it remain to the 3rd fight, when it died but still was able to finish off the remaining mob, then beat the crap out of the "boss" he hits hardest when he speeds his attacks up, but after which he will be dazed from exhaustion, perfect time to heal yourself. I popped 1 super hp and naruu just to be safe, but most likely could have done without

Commento di 101514

Soloed this very easy as lvl 67 feral druid.

Commento di 92088

My tactic to solo as a 67 Combat Swords Rogue:
1 Health Pot needed.

First one: 2 ogres. Blade Flurry, Charm of Alacrity and Bladefire's Breadth used. Just nuked them down.

Place yourself on the northwest side of the tower and eat and stealth. Attack when ready.

3 Ogres. Adrenaline Rush, Evasion and Trinkets used again during fight. Nuke FTW!

Eat and stealth.

Another 3 Ogres. Trinkets, Blade Flurry used. Nuked and healthpot.

Eat, Stealth and attack Gurn. Use trinkets and Blade Flurry if available. During the fight Evasion should become available. Use it :) He went down pretty fast and it's a pretty easy solo :)

Commento di boxtor

Soloed as a 70 fire mage. It is alot easier if you do the quest where you become neutral to them. If you are neutral to them, they will not attack you between waves.

Commento di 32367

Soloed at 68 feral druid. This quest was kind of bugged for me... When I got to the tower there were 4 ogres standing ontop of each other. Went to work on them (didn't have to use the banner). As I was killing the first set of 4 (working on the last one), 2 more ran up the ramp. Went to work on them. Then two more came up as I was killing the last one from the second wave. Finally, I was working on the last guy from the 3rd wave and Gurn Grubnosh came up and started wailing on me. I didn't have much time to heal between waves.

Commento di 111950

Soloed 67 enhance shaman, just droped GOA, Str of earth, searing and heal tot's and drank + eating combined with my gift of narue(sp?) kept Water shield up and didnt have to use my pet earth elemental once. Pretty easy but the last guy goes nuts at the end and has to take a pot to survive it.

Commento di Kemaro

Easily solo'd as 68 enhance shaman.

Commento di Veltra

solod as a lvl66 shadow priest pretty simple

fear, always keep shield& dots up, MB, MF, drink in between a lil bit ---repeat lol

underestimated grun a bit ended up using a mana pot but nothing hard and deff not 3 needed
lol

also because fear is the way your actually surviving this make sure spawns at the towers base are dead because most likey fear will make them go down the ramp up to the tower

Commento di 124538

Soloed easily as 66 rogue (Tree: Subtlety)
Got my banner at 46,47.
First wave, 2 ogres. Pretty easy to deal, just blind 1 and kill the other asap, then go for the next 1.
Second wave, 3 ogres. Sap the geomancer, start killing the other 2, evasion, killed 1, health potion, blind on the geomancer, killed the second, then killed the geomancer.
Third wave, 3 ogres. Sap 1 of the ogres.
Start killing the ogres, 50% HP, health potion, evasion and blind on the other, finished the last wave, then came the boss. Sap on the boss, cheap shot, hemorrhage, ghostly strike, kidney shot.
Sinister strike, then the problem came, the goes insane mode and starts hitting you to fast, your hp gets #$%^ed up, health potion, blind, bandage. Used preparation and evasion again, and just kept him on stun lock.
Took me 10 min to complete the quest,

Commento di Ambusher

Soloed as 67 enhancement shammy.
Put up str of earth, grace of air and mana spring (also searing totem against Gurn).
Didn't have to use any pots or anything, popped shamanistic rage against Gurn, though. I'm not sure if this is normal, but he missed on half his attacks if not more. I never had to heal in fights, only healed between fights. To sum this up: pretty easy, at least if you're an enhancement shammy, I have NO idea why it says you should be 3 players.

Commento di 125045

Used Dhcstab's Rogue guide and it worked like a champ.
But, I died when fighting Gurn, however the quest did not fail!
So I hurried back to the tower, and burned him down to complete the quest.

Not too hard.

Commento di 75203

I was doing this on my Prot pala 67..(patch 2.3). was doing great when the last BOSS spawned.
The problem was he spawns in the lower part of the tower, and i was ofc standing on the top of the tower.
I was waiting for the named guy to come when i realised somehow a hunter of the opposite faction tagged him where he spawns (bigging of the ramp, while i stand on top of the tower), and i got no credit for the kill etc.

So i had to run back, abandoned the quest kill another champion and do the event again. Next try I runned down to prevent this for happening but I was not able to target him before he was at the top. There might be glitch on this quest which makes him attackable the moment he spawns ...Only thing I can think of.
Be warned. (Other than that it's easy kill for prot pala just the normal aoe-stuff on the waves)

As a 66 nelf druid, I was able to solo this with ease.
I had to pop a health pot half way through because a frickin' Bloodmaul Skirmisher spawned on top of me as I was fighting Gurn, but it was still a walk in the park.

Now, I acknowledge my enormous ass in Dire Bear Form (helloooo, corner tank), but come on — three people? That's kind of offensive. :)

Commento di bladeyama

Confirmed the cords as stated by cheboy

42, 46 is to get the flag.
46, 74. Is the Tower where you place the Flag.

It was extremely easy for me to solo as a DPS Warrior. I killed the mobs in this order.

-2 ogres
-3 ogres
-4 ogres
- Gurn Grubnosh

Just make sure you bandage or eat before the next wave.

Good luck and have fun i added some screen shots.

When placing this banner you will get 3 waves then Gurn.
Wave 1: 2 Bloodmaul Boons
Wave 2: 1 Bloodmaul Boon, 1 Bloodmaul Skirmisher and 1 Bloodmaul Geomancer
Wave 3: 3 Boons
Then Gurn comes. He is lev 66 non elite.

All waves come up to the tower after 10 sec of killing the previous wave.
(edit: I believe the composition of ogres in the waves is random)

As a rogue I saped one killed the 2 others, killed the last one, bandaged, ate food if needed and restealth.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just soloed this quest as a 67 Shadow Priest.

The Northern building is the one that is, well, most north in the camp.

As you go up the ramp, there might be a roaming mob that you will have to kill, if not, it will come later, and you should wait for it before beginning the quest.

There will be one mob already on the top of the tower, kill him. After you kill him and get your hp/mana back up, immediately plant the flag, seeing as how the respawn of that mob is pretty quick. (He respawned a couple seconds before I finished killing Grubnosh.)

Plant the flag now. The mobs will come up from the bottom of the ramp and attack you immediately.

You can eat and drink during the different sets of mobs.

There are 4 sets of mobs that come after you, I believe.

1st set: 2 mobs
2nd: 3 mobs
3rd: 3 mobs
4th: Gurn Grubnosh

The max hit of Gurn Grubnosh on a 67 Shadow Priest with 870 armor was 432, non-crit. However, he hits extremely fast and can stun you with an effect he uses.

Easy enough to solo as a lvl 66 balance druid. If you pull then down to the base of the tower you have plenty of time to drink up before you pull the next lot down.

I soloed also with rogue, use all cd blind, bladeflurry,adneralinrush , vanish etc... ;) When i reached gurn enrage phase, the tower guard has respawned .. and those two was killed me .. ;p I resed via spirit healer in Sylvanaar... and the surprise : i stalked back .. and Gurn still stayed top of the tower! nice, thistime sapped the guard i killed him. and complete the Q. ....

it is a feature or a bug ? :)

I soloed this one as a 67 Hunter. I died 3 times, bt I ran back, resurrected at the base of tower, ate and drank before I went up again, and just continued until done...Gurn Grubnosh I did without dying but I had to heal my pet alot, used almost all my mana on that. My pet is a 67 Bloodmaul Battle Worg with 8062 armor and 4608 Health.

While lvling my priest, i did a lot of instances in Outlands, i still had to quest everything in BEM when i got to 70.
If you do the ogri'la chain first, all the ogres will be neutral to you, so you got plenty of time to rec. Cause when u killed a wave,the next wave comes, but just stands there untill you attack them, giving you all the time you need to rec up.
Only posting this in case some others didnt do this quest before 70 for whatever reason.

Solod as 69 Protection Warrior.

Used Retaliation and a health potion on one of the 3-mob waves that came with an additional respawn, and used Last Stand and the 900 health from Regal Protectorate on the 'boss.' I also used my tanking gear for this fight instead of the 'dps' gear I normally use when soloing.

You can pretty much count on a respawn at the top of the tower if you solo this. Boss is not elite, but does have a lot of health.

Commento di Allakhazam

Whaha! Was this a 3 man quest? Lol

I was reading all the comments here and it seemed pretty hard, so I drank some potions and used a scroll of Stamina to prepare. But then a horde killed me so I didn't had any pots/scroll buffs on me anymore.

I'm a Feral Druid and just placed the banner. When I saw the mobs coming up, I gave myself a Regrowth, Rejuvenation and 3x Lifebloom heals, so alot of HoT on me. Then I shifted into bearform and started attacking them.
I repeated this method with each wave, the mobs didn't even got me down below 71%!
Then Gurn came, easy fight too. :) He had me down to 84%... :P

Solo'ed as a 65 rogue. I had to blow every cooldown and died once. The biggest problem is the respawn on the top of the ramp.

First wave was not a problem and I was taken when they saw through my stealth and was unable to imp sap one from the start. I was able to bandage and eat before next wave showed up. Eating far from the ramp entrance will prevent from being seen immediately. Second wave was much easier, although I blew some cooldowns for it. Before the third wave showed up, the respawns were started. I blew more cooldowns just to take those ones down and then I was worried I had no cooldowns left for the final bossman. Well, he showed up and killed me easy with the respawns.

Bummed, I ran back and to my surprise the bossman did not despawn. I waited down the ramp for the patrol then killed it. I went back to top, sapped main, then sapped guy in back. Near the end of the fight, the sap wore off, I threw a blind, and I was able to kill the bugger and loot.

Any class with some crowd control could solo this, in my opinion. Possibly any class could find a means of soloing it without crowd control. I am not sure what happens if you die before the last guy shows up, but I would guess the waves continue as you kill them. By not finishing a wave, you can buy time until the next wave comes. Rest assured, if you die, you can pick up where you left off, probably until the banner disappears which is probably a long time.

good luck, if a 65 can do it, so can you. (although, I wear alot of +hit and stam gear)

Soloed as a 67 priest, died once, but he did not despawn. He hits hard.

Commento di Allakhazam

The champs spawn on the top floor of the buildings, need to go up the ramp on the side of them..

as I 68 priest I soloed it using dot dot dot on the tower, levitate off the top, when the mobs get to the bottom fear them, run to top and repeat till they die, use your shadow fiend on the last wave, boss is easy

Commento di Allakhazam

Being a Holy/Disc (healing) Priest, my dps lacks seriously. So rather than wait till morning for dps, I try soloing it. For some reason, I planted the banner, and the first wave came. Killed them easily enough. Second wave came, and I dotted them up, but they were killing me too fast. So I jumped off, levitated past the rock wall to the North, and they didnt follow.

I run back (no aggro yet), and see theyre standing in front of the banner, at the top of the tower. Keep in mind, im halfway up the ramp, where there's a Skull-Wind Chime looking thing hanging. Im out of combat, so i mana/heal up. I shield, and approach the group of mobs-they engage. I dot and fear them....but they're NEVER feared OFF the ramp. They just roam up and down the ramp, never aggroing any other mob. When the next wave comes, it runs right past me (the mobs for some reason cannot be attacked until they reach the top of the tower). I simply repeat the process.

Sounds like a bug to me, but *shrug* found a way around the event i guess!

Ok this is so easy, soooo very easy. just wanted to let u ppl know because mor ethen one posts on here says this is tuff.
ITs not, its patheticly easy for a lvl 67 feral druid anyways.
One thing to note is that u need to go to the top of a watch tower, no buildings or anything, just looks like an ordinary tower with ramps spiraling around it to its top. 46 74 coords.

Mobs are all regular, none elites, last wave (the so called boss) hits harder then the regular ogres but not by much, his attacks do 200 dam to me (11k armor).
He does enrage.
Only class that should have trouble soloing this would be the clothies. lock could probly handle it.

EDIT: boss comes solo no adds.

not enough space to do this as a mage... really !@#$ing annoying.

Commento di Allakhazam

Northmaul Tower is at 46,76.

Soloed as a 67 warrior. i used 3 times first aid. no hp potion.

Commento di Allakhazam

Soloed this as a 68 Rogue, spec: Assassination 10, Combat 0, Subtlety 49.

Used a lot of buffs -- Scrolls of Strength VI, Stamina V, and Agility V. Also drank an Elixir of Mastery (raises all stats by 15 for one hour), and ate food that gave me +20 Stamina and Spirit for 30 minutes. And, of course, I used blade poison -- Deadly Poison VI (main hand) and Instant Poison VII (off hand).

Planted the flag, hit stealth, sapped one of the two in the first wave (took about 10 seconds for them to show up), killed the other one, then killed the one I sapped. Easy. Walked as far away from the ramp as I could, ate to restore health, and hit stealth while eating... (You DID know you can be in stealth mode while you're eating right? As long as you hit Stealth AFTER you start eating, and you don't move around 'till you're done eating.)

2nd wave came, sapped one of 'em, Ambushed one, left-clicked on the third one and blinded him, then went back to the one I ambushed. Killed him, the blind wore off on the third one just in time, so I killed him. The Sap wore off just as I was finishing up with the blinded guy, so I killed the sapped guy. Walked away from the ramp, ate, hit stealth while eating.

3rd wave came. Same thing as 2nd wave, only I had to use Evasion and a Super Healing Potion because killing them took a bit longer than the 2nd wave, and my health was getting low. Hit stealth while eating after 3rd wave was dead to heal back to 100% health. (There's not quite enough time between waves to eat your way back to 100%, so Stealth is an absolute necessity, or else you'll be ganked before you're fully healed. Heavy Netherweave bandages might work for classes that don't have stealth, but it would be close.)

Big Guy: Used Preparation to instantly cool-down Evasion. Used Shadowstep to get behind him, and Premeditation to give me a couple extra combo points. Ambushed him (crit for 2354 tyvm), spammed Sinister Strike, and used Eviscerate every time I had 5 combo points. Used Ghostly Strike and Evasion when I had about half my health left. Big Guy died just as a patrol showed up, so I looted and Vanished. Done. (Had about one-third of my health remaining.)

Had exactly 8,000 health-points with all the buffs (odd, indeed, to have a perfectly round number like that) and the lowest my health ever got was during the 3rd wave when it hit 1,500 or so right before I killed the last guy in that wave.

An assasination or combat Rogue would probably have an easier time of this than I did, because they can probably kill faster... Maybe someone with that spec could've done it at lvl 65 or 66. It's not easy, but it's definitely doable as a solo quest.

Soloed at level 67 Rogue something the same as previous Rogue tactics to do this, was easy enough, bandage, eat fast between waves. Blade flurry ftw :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Absolute cake as a 70 feral druid. I just stayed in bear form and fought on the stairs just in case. Only really healed myself once.

Commento di Allakhazam

killed the drunk mobs first..... easy to pull individually.

Mind controlled the elite dps'd the boss down to 4% mind blast fear adds.... loot n leg it.

Solo'd as a 68 Mage...very easily done. AE first three waves bandaging and drinking between fights, Once Gurn pops, take him down to an open area behind tower and down him there.

Commento di Allakhazam

champion on 40.47 , not 40.57

Commento di Allakhazam

For anyone who hits Blade's Edge after 70 this is a very easy to solo. Solo'd as a 70 pally and I was at full health after I killed all the mobs. Seal of Light+Judgment of Light+11k armor and 425 defense= no problem. 46, 47 are the correct co'ords and you can find a champion alone at 38, 58 on the second floor.

Commento di Allakhazam

soloed it as lvl 69 mage, almost died at the last boss. u can eat and drink till u get all ur health and mana if u set at the far side of the ramp

respwans appeared just after i killed the boss, it takes about 4 min. to respwan so try to do it fast :)

Commento di Allakhazam

At first I considered not even trying this solo. But...I'm a 66 frost mage which gives me alot of options for multiple mobs. I have a water elemental pet to take one on, can sheep another, and solo one. So generally I can handle 3 mobs at once.

Luckily during the first battle I got knocked off the platform. What I realized is that the mobs going up the ramp to the tower totally ignore you. The key is not to try to play king of the hill. Let the mobs run up and wait for you. You can the run up, take one down at a time, then run away from the rest. Eventually the others will evade and you can go back up and do it again. Using this technique any fast damage dealer should be able to easily complete this quest solo.

Commento di Allakhazam

Go to Bladespire Hold and kill a champion for banner
Got on 1-st kill at 40,57.

Go to Bloodmaul Hold. Northmaul tower is as 46,76.
Place the banner.
If u can fear use it safe.

One more thing, mob at top of the tower respawns fast so don't waste much time.
Respawned twice to me.

Commento di Allakhazam

imp sap helped tho

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm at the top of the tower. There's an Ogre there that evades everything I do to him, but does not attack. I can't plant the flag! I get a message "You're too far away". What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Commento di Allakhazam

Soloed at level 67, protection spec warrior. You can eat/drink between each wave.

Tower is at 46,76.

I did this easily with one other person. I'm a 67 Hunter, he was a 67 warrior. The mobs come in waves of 2 or 3, and there are 3 waves, I think. The waves are Bloodmaul Goons, Geomancers, or Skirmishers. They go down easy. Between the waves, there is about a max of 10 seconds to drink/eat/bandage, so take advantage of that time or if you are lower than 67, maybe have a potion or two on hand. If you're a hunter, I highly advise putting explosion traps under each wave, and on Grubnosh. I didn't find Grubnosh to be that bad..he's a 66 non elite, and take him down quickly so his hard hits don't extend for long.
hope this was helpful!

Commento di LastSighLZ

Easy to solo for a lvl 67 warlock with Demonolgy spec.

Commento di Amabilis

Soloed this as a 68 Rogue.

The first group of mobs attacks you right away even if you're stealthed. Subsequent groups however do not attack right away so you can eat while stealthed. Don't fall off.

For the groups of 2, blind one to make recovery time shorter after the fight.
For the groups of 3, sap one, blind one.
The last guy is pretty easy to kill.

Commento di Jael777

If someone has just finished killing Gurn when you arrive, and there is still a banner at the top of the tower, DO NOT use yours until the other has de-spawned. The banner only has one charge, and using it while the other is still there uses up that one charge. Then you have to ABANDON the quest, go back and get the quest again, kill another Champion, and then go back to the tower. Learned this the hard way and posting my experience to hopefully help others to not have that experience.

Planting the Banner

Use the Bladespire Banner atop the Northmaul Tower to lure Gurn Grubnosh. Deliver the banner and the Helm of Gurn Grubnosh to Commander Skyshadow at Sylvanaar in the Blade's Edge Mountains.

	Bladespire Clan Banner (1)
	Helm of Gurn Grubnosh (1)
	Giocatori suggeriti: 3 (1)

Descrizione

I want you to steal the Bladespire banner from one of their champions and take it south to Bloodmaul Outpost. Plant it atop their Northmaul Tower.

This will infuriate the Bloodmaul and they will attack you relentlessly. But it will also keep their hatred focused on Bladespire Hold, and away from Sylvanaar.

You will know you have accomplished the deed when you have defeated Gurn Grubnosh and taken his helm. Return it to Sylvanaar.

<name>, this isn't going to be easy. Take a friend or two with you.
