62, 69 Frostwhisper Gorge.

Comentado por Ormriss

Despite being elite, you can do this quest solo easily (and at an early level), as long as you have some patience. Around Frostwhisper Gorge, you should find two or three crystal formations just outside aggro range of the elite giants (usually visible from the road). Grab crystals from those formations, then wait on a respawn. You can also follow high level Alliance players into the gorge, as they have a reputation quest to kill the giants. Just use the crystal formations that they conveniently clear away for you.

This is an easy quest in the upper 50's, because this place is farmed a lot, and even if it's not clear, it's extremely easy to get these without aggro.

The quest is worth 6600 xp. Here are the locations for some of the Shards (courtesy bugnaz):

North side of the Bridge:
59,64 (down the main pathway into the chasm).
61,65 (to the South-West of the start of the bridge as you head South).
63,66 (to the South-East of the start of the bridge as you head South).

South side of the Bridge:
60,71 (to the South-West after you have crossed the bridge heading South. There is a level 59 "Rabid Shardtooth" bear to deal with here).
61,72 (to the South-West after you have crossed the bridge heading South. There is a Frostmaul Giant here but it is grab-able).

From either side of the Bridge:
65,70 (from heading South before you cross the bridge, head clockwise around the chasm staying away from the edge).
(Or: After you have crossed the bridge heading South - to the North-East. Head Anti-clockwise around the chasm staying away from the edge. Takes some getting to but would be quicker than a fight, death and re-spawn).

Many of the players here are right. You can get four walking down into the gorge without encountering a single giant, but with some real luck you can actually down a giant as low as 56 solo if you are a pet class. Barely.

Comentado por 28768

Solo'd as a 57 rogue with 5 lvls of MOD. Took some patience because you need to wait for the giant patrols to walk far enough away. I picked up all of mine in the Gorge. Entrance around 59, 64.

Comentado por 11680

As a druid (56) I found it easy to get some that was too close to giants by rooting them, grabbing it and then run away int ravel form until you loose aggro.

The trick is to be as close to the crystal as possible without aggroing the giant and the rooting it when it is as far away from the crystal as possible. Keep in mind that the roots tend to break rather quickly, or get resisted, so you might have to try it a few times on the same giant.

Comentado por 26793

Also the giants drops the crystals

Comentado por moonasha

this quest is easy. Yeah there are spawns that have no giants nearby, but you can easily loot the ones that are guarded. On my rogue i just gouged the giant and looted. (imp gouge of course). Im sure other classes can do something simular

Comentado por 41146

I soloed this quest with my lvl 57 Hunter. I picked up the ungarded shards first, then singled out the shards that were only protected by one giant. I put on Aspect of the Cheetah, sent my pet to attack the giant while I picked up the shard. When done I put pet on passive an ran out of reach as quick as I could:). Nice and easy and it kept me from having to revive my pet all time.

Comentado por 46945

Soloed as a 55 Rogue. I didn't die during the quest once, and burned only one vanish. You must know how to use your disctract correctly when navigating the minefield of giants.

Also these things are NOT heavilty farmed as stated above. In fact I didn't run into a single person through the entire quest.

take hint: as priest i just come to shard on ground,when guard come fear him then take shard and run.they dont hit you in most situation and u get stuff for quest^^

Comentado por Flick

Most of the shards on the ground are down inside the gorge itself. There are a number of safe corners that you can run to to drop aggro when the giants leash back to their spawnpoints. They hit reasonably hard but move slowly: you can outrun them on foot. With a bit of patience and watching their movement patterns, it's easy to collect 10 shards in a few minutes without having to fight them.

Comentado por jwapp

soloed this quest with a warlock (56) easy just fear and kill ..

Comentado por 68467

Yeah, if your not lazy you can simply loot the crystal's from the edges of the canyon all the way around, I just ran around the perimeter and completed the quest without having to down a single mob, just make sure to watch your aggro.

Comentado por Phioner

Soloed as 57lvl rogue. Took me 5min to complete this quest. Just collected the ones on ground.

Comentado por 45072

as a 56 mage i was able to grab all the easy ones, just like everyone else, but got tired of waiting on the respawns. So, since I am frost, i decided to try to aggro the giant to my elemental, then loot and run away. Do not try this, because as soon as i clicked the crystal on the ground the giant aggroed onto me, and had an easy time of killing me

Comentado por 53362

As a rogue, this worked for me: Try to get as far away from the Giant as possible, and start the extraction. If he starts to attack, just use your "blind", which will give you plenty of time to get the shard. Then just run away (or vanish), they are slow. OR, you can get your combo points up and kidney shot them, but that may be cutting it close.

Comentado por 41698

I solo'd this as a 56 Shadow priest, didn't have a problem at all.

Comentado por Znarf

Freezing trap does not work on the giants, so no trap, loot and run for hunters. They are, however, perfectly kitable, so this is easily and quickly done with a hunter. I was 55 and had no problems.

from patch 2.3 you only need 3Frostmaul Shards did as lvl 56 hunter

Comentado por 100208

I'm a frost mage so I can't fear and my frost nova is useless (they're immune). But I found a cool way to do it! Summon water elemental, make him stay, shoot one frost bolt and while giant is killing him, you can get to the crystals :)

Comentado por Kimoshi

Was able to do this fairly easily as a 56 hunter w/ a 55 pet.

BM spec, I was able to kill level 59s with a bit of trouble, 60s I couldn't.

Would end up just sending my pet in, popping Beastial Wrath and go to town. Made sure Mend Pet was up 100% of the time, and when my pet got low(maybe 50% to be safe), pop intimidation to allow for a few seconds of regen w/o getting hit.

If intimidation got resisted(usually did), would just end up pulling aggro off my pet and kite it around for a bit while it regened.

I got 1 shard from killing the giants, rest I got from the ground.

Comentado por 62677

With patch 2.3 you only need to gather 4 shards but the quest text says "

You don't need to fight or hide, some of the shard spawn in area where there is no giants nearby. You just need patience, i found my 4 running around, not fighting or aggroing any giants.

These guys have an unusualy small de-aggro range (lenght it takes for them to stop following you) plus they move slow, so its very posible to just pick up the crystals while runing away / using any CC's you have

did it on a 57 Prot paladin

Comentado por 111421

When i did this on my main the (group) thing got to me so i asked a friend to come help me... it was easy... he killed 1 of the elites..... remembering this when it came to my alt i knew where to go and what i was up against....

i didn't aggro any of them.... i went to 58.64 and there were 3 right there with no mobs... the fourth 1 - I had to go in a bit and there was an elite walking around but he never came close enough for me to aggro... maybe i was just lucky but this quest can be done without a grp

Although Alliance can do this quest, it does not seem to earn rep with anyone.

Comentado por 93415

If you are a hunter, you should not have any problems with this at all.

I gave a shot at the giants as a level 56 BM hunter, and as long as I had a Mend Pet on 2 times in the

fight I could take them down pretty fast. Even the level 60 ones will be piece of a cake.

As for the Shards, theese can be taken easily without pulling, just look around.

As a 57 Prot Paladin I was able to solo the giants while collecting the shards down below. Unfortunately none of the spawns up above were up, forcing me to have to deal with giants face-to-face. :/

Gear & Spec: http://www.warcrafter.net/sandbox/52437

Mats: Heavy Runecloth Bandages, Major Mana Potions
Buffs: Righteous Fury (Improved), Blessing of Sanctuary, Ret Aura

vs Level 60's - Pull while mounted, run to a cubby hole where the pat wont reach you. Keep up JoL + SoL and Holy Shield. HOJ when you get to ~10%, then Holy Light x2. Continue on, drink the mana potion when your mana is low. When health gets low again Bubble, then Holy Light x1 and bandage. The mob should die shortly.

vs Level 59's - Pull while mounted, run to cubby hole, keep up JoL + SoL and Holy Shield. HOJ when it's on cooldown. When you get to ~10% Bubble then Bandage. If you get low again, HOJ then Holy Light, but I never had to heal a second time.

Comentado por Mooney

Level 59 Shadow Priest, i was able to take down the Elites, i just made sure i was fully buffed - Fortitude, Inner fire, Touch of weakness, And kept PW:Shield Up.

First i cast Vampiric Touch + Vampiric Embrace and SW:Pain to help keep my health and mana up. I then cast Mind Blast and Spam Mind Flay until Mind Blast has recharged. Make sure you keep PW:Sheild up as soon as you can cast it. Also to reduce dmg being taken use Psychic Scream and spam Mind Flay while its under its effect, this i found to be good for getting health and some mana back up.

The elite might cast a healing spell therefore use dispel magic and it will unbuff the elite of its healing spell.

Comentado por 142381

well, as the sneaky lvl 57 rogue i am, i ninja looted all shards while having giants away on patrol or blinding and vanishing =)

Comentado por mrdummy

Easy shards for example:
(seen from north to south)
- one right before the bridge (61,65) - no mob near
- one more further to right, near wood (60,65) - 1 mob near but far enough
- one more further to right, but walk around, to go "down" (58,63) - no mob near
- one more further down the path (58,65) - no mob near
- one down the path (59,67) - 1 mob near but far enough
- one left after bridge (62,72) - one mob near but far enough

That is all so far i can see.
Getting 4 pieces is no big problem.

The mobs hit you around 300, with around 600 crit. Pretty hard.
That is with stoneskin totem!

Simple as a 55 warlock, you can kill the 59 mobs without much of a problem, which is what I lucked into, ended up grabbing my last shard on the way out.

Picked up 2 on my way down, ran around nekkid by foot, speed enchant on AB boots <3 no hit whatsoever even when agroing directly by walking trough the giants... got to a safe ridge where I lost agro... used the mechanical yeti on a big guy and picked the remaining 2 crystals. peace of cake... ran off by mount (suprisingly they were hitting me when mounted, but not when I was running by foot) done as 58 orc warrior.

ez peasy with 55 druid on prowl. Not one fight. A little patience is it.

Comentado por Thottbot

Follow the road south of Everlook and eventually you will cross a bridge over a canyon. The shards (and giants) are in that canyon, with some on the rim as well. The best entrance to the canyon is on the north west side.

The giants are all 59/60 elites, not particularly tough as far as elites go but still pack a punch. As a 59 Shaman I can barely solo the 59 elites.

Stealthed players may have better luck getting these shards solo, or a hunter or warlock that can use a pet/creature to distract the giants. If you can do this, you can get a few shards off the edge of the canyon because each shard is only guarded by one guy. Otherwise, grab one or two friends and you should be able to kill these guys fairly easily and grab the shards on the ground plus some that they drop.

(I also had a giant drop a thorium lockbox that yielded a Traveler's Backpack!)

Comentado por Thottbot

for the shard I first ran across. There is probably a better place since I had to use Levitate to get down (a stupid move on my part because I couldnt retreat.)

Will post again if i discover a better loc.

Edit:
The entrance to the canyon is at 59,62.

Comentado por Thottbot

I submitted a GM ticket about not being able to loot the shards lying on the ground, and was told that it was a known issue, and that a resolution is being worked on.

Comentado por Thottbot

First time I visited the Gorge, 273 people were doing the quest. My 60 Druid came back again and it was one of the easiest I've had to do in a long time, if you have stealth. If not, maybe an investment in an invisibility potion would get the job done.

Seems to me the shards on the ground fall into 2 categories: closely-guarded and loosely-guarded. Skip the closely-guarded ones (where starting the loot timer aggroes a giant) because there are enough loosely-guarded ones. I picked up 6 inside the gorge and the remaining 4 outside and didn't aggro anyone after the first try at learning the difference.

The Time-Constrained Player can't afford to fight the giants with a Druid. Of course I can shift out of bear and heal but it simply takes too long for the rewards, which in many cases are the TCP's greatest annoyance: nothing. Zilch. Zippo. Nada. So stealth it had to be, but then it was easy.

If you don't have stealth or invisibility, there are still several shards (4 or 5) that you can get to without aggroing a giant but they don't seem to respawn very quickly, so you might have to use alternate methods, some of which are excellently described above. Worth doing this one.

Comentado por Thottbot

Ok, I can't speak for any other class but if you're a Warlock I'd suggest going here even if you don't have the quest. This is one of the best and easiest XP grinding areas I've found yet. The giants are Fearable, which basically makes them trivial. Just send in the pet to hold the aggro for a few seconds while you cast dots, then as soon as the giant starts coming after you just fear, and then cast your remaining dots, lifetap, drainlife. That's it, they never even touch you and with rested bonus I was getting 1200xp PER KILL!

Apparently these guys do hit pretty hard, but if you're a 'lock then you'll never know it because they'll never hit you. It's beautiful.

Comentado por Thottbot

I'm finding this quest VERY tough as a 58 frost mage. No sheeping allowed, and the bad guys are immune to all my other mob control spells. Can't distract/tank them with the water elemental, either; since they're immune to everything he throws at them too he won't even attack them. All you can do is cherry pick the easy ones, but there is NO room for error and if you agro one, you basically die unless you're in a place where you can blink away and run. Forget about killing one, might as well try to burn a charging bear to death with a cigarette lighter.

Update to this: I found bugnaz's information helpful. Also, if you can slow fall, you can stand on the edge of the cliff at 64,65 and jump down into that little ruined temple. if you stay close enough to the cliff, you won't agro the giant at the entrance to the temple, and there are two shards you can pick up in there. If they're the last two you need, you can hearth/teleport/die intentionally and get out of there. (You can also just barely run down there from the entrance without dying.)

Comentado por Thottbot

I jumped off the ice bridge & used slow fall to safely drop down into the middle of a pack of those guys.

Comments
This quest wasn't very hard for me. I was able to solo it in 15 mins.

Stratergy:
Note: The agro raduis of a giant is quite low so you can be very close without any problems.

Stealth up to the crystal you wish to obtain (they are all around the edges of the gorge so you don't need to enter the centre where the majority of the giants patrol).

Move to a position where you are furthest away from the patrol guarding the crystal.

Wait patiently for the mob to patrol to his furtherest distance from the crystal and loot.

Looting takes 4-5 seconds so make sure he's not coming back towards you within this time period.

Notes:

I found that by circling the gorge starting from the position I entered the gorge clockwise (or anti-clockwise) I was able to pick up all of the crystals in one run.

The respawn appears to be 2 or slightly more minutes on the crystals.

I'm fairly certain that a druid in catform could repeat this.

Note that hunters or warlocks could use their pets to initiate combat with the mob while they looted the crystal and then could allow their pet to die while moving away from the mob and faking death or just hiding.

I think this quest would take 30-40 minutes tops in a group (with no wipes and little down time) or a similar time with one higher level character assisting.

The gorge is at 61,68 (Cartographer) or without co-ordinates follow the road directly south of Everlook, stop when you reach a large bridge over top and your there.

they are immune to frost dont cast frost on them

Comentado por Thottbot

Soloed as lvl 56 Undead Demonology-specced Warlock.

You'll find em in frostwhisper gorge(62,68).

They were kinda slowkilled but not too tough.
They got around 8-9k hp each(depending on their level). I just dotted them up, feared em, spammed shadowbolts, soulfire whenever cooldown is out and stunned em with my felguard when the fear went out so i had some more time casting a new fear.

Tip: Bring pots, drink&food;(this is the most important),(if you're a lock) a full bag of soulshards and alittle more. Make a healthstone and soulstone yourself.

I started by walking across the bridge and then turned right and started killing off giants and looting shards.

Hope it'll help!

I solo'd it easy as a lvl 56 balance druid.
Just stealthed around the edges of the canyon and when I found a crystal guarded by only one giant I sent in treants to distract him, took the shard, and ran.

Soloed with my 57 Shammy.

Gathered shards by entrance of gorge and the ones on peak right above.

For shard guarded by only one mob, I pulled giant on one direction, dropped Earth Bind totem to slow him down, then ran in a circle to get to the shards.
In some cases Tranquil Air totem helped keep mobs frmo aggroing.

No pets, no stealth, only patience and skill!

Comentado por Thottbot

You don't have to fight even one to get the Shards. If you enter the canyon just past the broken down wagon you should be able to pick up 6 without take a swing at an Elite. Then go back up to the road, there are 3 more that can be picked up on the right side and one one the left - this was the easiest Quest here.

Good Luck!

Comentado por Thottbot

lvl 59 warrior. Super easy quest, as others have stated go to back entrance to gorge, about 59,62

Got 3 shards on my way down the path, last one is near the elites but if you hug the right wall and stay back you can get it without them attacking you.

Comentado por Thottbot

After several failed attempts, i discovered a easy, amusing way to get the shards. As a solo lvl 56 Druid, it is VERY hard to defeat even one of those elites.
1. Get close to the elite giant protecting the shard, but not enough to aggro him.
2. Use Entangling Roots on him, and run quickly to the shard. This will keep him stuck for a few precious seconds while you run to the shard. When you reach the shard, use Entangling Roots on him again to ensure he won't get you. LOL! All the giant can do is stare angrily at you as you steal the shard right in his face. Get the shard and make a mad dash in travel form out of there!
3. Repeat as needed.

Comentado por Thottbot

Solo done with Shadow Priest, use FEAR loot shards :)
Im LVL 57 :)

Comentado por Thottbot

Edit: A way to do this quite easily as a frostmage.

When you get to a crystal, you will most likely agro one elite. Atleast I did at level 56. So when you're near a crystal, summon your pet and then instantly Iceblock. While in iceblock, do a frostnova with your pet. This will take aggro off you and onto the pet. Then, de-click your Iceblock and loot the crystal ASAP. It will be just enough time, because your pet will die in the time you can loot the crystal and a bit more.

--- You will most likely die when your pet dies though. So it requires 4 deaths and that you have iceblock and pet up. I used Coldsnap to erase the CDs too. Was worth it.

Comentado por Thottbot

These giants were not too bad. Soloed it with Lvl 62 Druid Moonkin. Basically rooted them down, nailed them with Starfire a couple of times after priming them first with Moonfire and Insect Swarm, then a couple of Wrath...DONE.

Does anyone else notice that the Quest Objective is to recover 4 shards, but the quest text mentions 10 shards.

In any event, not much has changed with this question for V-2.3. The ice giants are still level 59-60 elites. They are not "hard core" elites, but still tough to bring down.

Not a hard quest to do.

Tip for hunters.. find the shards with only one giant by them, sent in pet as bait, loot the shard and run. If you are quick enough you can get far enough away that your pet dosent die. If he dies, just revive him and go find the next shard.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Did this easily as a 58 Hunter. Got 2 shards on the South edge of the chasm, had to sic my pet on a giant one time in order to loot a shard and then got out of there before the pet died. Got 4 on the path down into the chasm (on the Northeastern end), all in plain sight and no giants guarding them, then 2 more near giants but I never got aggro. Got one more freebie on the way back up (saw it respawn), and the last one was on the Northern edge of the chasm, I had to distract a giant with my pet again.

So, I have no idea on the drop rate from the giants, but if no one else is doing this quest, there should be lots of shards available. If you don't have a pet to sacrifice or distract with, then you should still be able to finish the quest without fighting the giants, just wait for respawns on the path.

Game on,

What is the Loot for this quest other then 90s

Comentado por Allakhazam

As of patch 1.10, this quest is also available to alliance... however, it seems to be bugged out, as I can't interact with the crystals on the sides of the canyon, and killed ~10 of the giants, none of which dropped the quest item.

Comentado por Allakhazam

i can loot em...alliance...i guess im special...or maybe stupid and didnt see a post taht sed you could

Comentado por Allakhazam

Did this quest as Level 60 Paladin. Using Judgement of Wisdom the Frost Giants are not difficult, just time consuming. Killed 35 or to get my 10 crystals (note be alliance I could not collect crystals from ground).

Then after turning in crystals you get the "Cash of Mau'Ari." As long as you have this in your inventory you can hunt Winterspring mobs to get Ecko (essence)of them.

Some of the mobs include:
Winter Thistles:
FrostSaber Tigers
Furlogs, etc.

You then turn the Essences (Ecko's) in to get various types of JuJu's

For example the Frostsaber related JuJu gives you JuJu Flurry. Each use will give you 20 seconds of 3 percent increase attaack speed.

Unless you have other reasons to be killing Winterspring mobs I don't see this as a great return for amount of time spent.

However if you are still leveling up and get experience points for killing mobs then why not get the extra little bonus of some 20 seconds buffs.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Do this one as soon as possible upon venturing to Everlook for the first time. There are several good reasons.

First, it can be soloed by anyone, using the corpserunning tactic of stripping completely down and then not caring whether you get aggro from a level 60 Elite. (When you find your corpse, the only Durability loss you get is the things you were wearing or carrying at the time of death. Don't use the Spirit Healer and you'll be OK.) Actuall,y if you enter the canyon from the western side of the bridge-- a gentle slope, rather than the suicide plunge on the east side-- you can find about four crystals that don't have any Giant guards at all. Once you get these, log where you are, play your other characters, and return when the Frostmaulo Shards have regrown.

Why do this one early? You will be getting a large number of quests to kill the Furbolgs, and you may as well do two at once. And if you're trying to get the coolest non-instanced mount in the game, you'll also be killing the Chimera and Shardtooths-- which also drop E'ko when you are carrying this.

All in all, a good quest, and worth all the dying and running naked from Everlook.

you can enter the frostwhisper gorge at 58, 53 with a little killing to get there

coords?

Comentado por Allakhazam

This is an alliance quest
It does not have a prereq as such
Night Elf Rogue Level 56 can get quest from the same quest giver in winterspring
Frostmaul shards in bottom of the ravine are now actionable by alliance
They are blue clusters of crystals like you have seen in the past in other quests

Did this as a lvl 57 hunter. Easy. Only had to kill 2 giants, and one dropped a shard, then i fell into the canyon, and there was a lvl 70 that killed all the giants! but even if that didnt happen u can easily solo it.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Can anyone tell me, how to start/get the quest on aliance side?

thx

Comentado por Allakhazam

55 lvl NE Druid... prowled down and harvested the crystals... hah :)

Comentado por Allakhazam

Now you just need 4, and i got one just before the bridge on the west side. Not guarded.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Although the quest reads "Bring back 10 frostmaul shards, and my lucky charm will be yours.", I was able to complete the quest with only 4 frostmaul shards so the Objective "Collect 4 Frostmaul Shards for Witch Doctor Mau'ari in Everlook." is actually correct; not the Description.

Instead of crossing the bridge at Frostwhisper Gorge, you can head almost exactly south-west at 62,60 before you get to the bridge until you reach 59,61. At this coord, you are at the entrance to a downhill path heading curving slightly left then south into the gorge. If you run along this path, you can get all four frostmaul shards without having to fight anything. When you get to the fourth one, you'll probably see a Elite lvl 60 Giant but its too far away to aggro if you just want the shard.

Good for the lazy people like myself.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Soloed this as a 59 Shaman. The trick is using the Stoneclaw Totem (Rank 6) effectively.

Most crystals along the chasm on either side of the bridge were guarded by only one giant. Run up to the crystal mounted and dismount. Drop the Stoneclaw and immediately gear on the crystal. Once you're done, or if the giant destroys the stoneclaw too soon, war stomp and ghost wolf away.

It can get tedious, but you'll get it done

Comentado por Allakhazam

Did this as level 56 warrior today, charge in, intimidating shout grab the crystals whilst the giants were feared. Stuck mostly to the edges surrounding the top of the gorge.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I have no idea How I got this chain started, but it has to be Both factions now. I'm a NEH and getting me somdat voodoo

As of patch 1.10.2 the crystals are now harvestable on the alliance side.

Comentado por Allakhazam

just put pet attacking giants while took shards,, pet died 6 times, but got all :)

Comentado por Allakhazam

Don't really need a group...the shards are sticking out of the ground. Just go in there and pick them up, only died once doing this quest

Comentado por Allakhazam

druids have no problem soloing these.

62,68

Comentado por Allakhazam

For Rogue (I am lvl 56, Assassination), this is an easy quest because you can stealth in and position yourself around the crystals so when you pick them up (and un-stealth), you won't pull aggro.

The entrance (if you don't want to fall into the canyon, is...from the road at 62.60 make a right and head toward 59.60, then turn south. You will be able to pick up about 3 crystals as you descend into the canyon before you encounter the Ice Giants.

The Ice Giants are all lvl 59-60 Elites, after I gathered all the shards, I decided to take one on (lvl 60 elite), could not kill it, I depleted him to about 45% of his HP when I was at about 1%, so I vanished and left (maybe I could have taken him if I decided to use a Major Healing Potion, but it would have been close). One refreshing note, these guys are "not" immune to stuns like many elites, but that did not help in the long run.

For you Herbalists, there is a Black Lotus at around 63.73 (not in the canyon)

Easiest quest ever.
Enter the canyon at 58,62 - a road leading down. Stick to the left side and collect the shards from little veins. I didnt have to kill no elites, didn't aggro no elite and got the quest finished in aobut ~4 minutes.

Level 55 hunter.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Duo'd this as a level 57 rogue with my level 58 Hunter mate. Was pretty apprehensive given that most of the beasts were level 60 elites but the main thing is that with careful drawing they dont mob. Completed this very easily and the shards both drop fromt the beasts and can be found in the open. Of course it helps as a stealth character to do this quest!

Comentado por Allakhazam

4g 86s for completing at level 60. I didn't get any rep from her, but maybe that's because she's Orgrimmar faction? I don't know if they changed her faction when they started allowing Alliance to do her quests or not.

I might be a rogue, so it was easier, yes, but if you go in on the west side of the ravine, there are at least 6 crystals with no giants nearby. The rest I just stealthed in and picked carefully. I did have to fight one magic using giant, but they went down rather easily, considering their level. I would suggest not fighting unless you're in a group of well-geared.

Completing the quest opened up another:

"Cache of Mau'ari"
Provisões de Mau'ari I suppose is in the series you must complete to open quests to gather E'ko from mobs in Winterspring. Still working on that.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Stealthed in with my lvl 57 druid, they don't seem to stun so I could sprint with me cat and get away if I pulled one. Found 2 on the east side of the canyon poorly guarded, found one on outside the canyon on the west jut out unguarded and one on the north west jut out poorly guarded.

Comentado por Allakhazam

if you are sleathy and smart this is not a group quest you can loot them all quickly and without aggro, takes perhaps 5 minutes

Comentado por Allakhazam

im having the same problem thay wont work for me

Comentado por Allakhazam

finished this with my 59 Druid, was VERY easy just stealth your way around the 60 Elites, and then it's just a matter of looting them!

Comentado por Allakhazam

OMG! Just did this solo - level 57 gnome. Stealthed down into the gorge, got six shards quickly, got caught after the seventh, but vanished, then got the eighth, and was leaving the gorge when I saw the last two on the way out!
Whole thing took me fifteen minutes!

Comentado por Allakhazam

Just did this @ lvl 55. As long as you pick up the shards that arent close to a giant youre fine. You can wait for them to respawn as well; it took a bit longer, but I didnt have to die in the process.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I believe you had to collect 10 shards before 2.3, then to make it easier they made it 4.

Comentado por EXPERIMENTONGOD

This quest is soloable as long as you have a pet or hard CC. I did it as a level 59 warrior.

You can loot SOME of the crystals on the ground without aggroing giants.Crystals take a while to respawn and most are guarded.

What you do is Charge+Intimidating shout and then loot the crystal and after that immediately run from the giant. There are enough crystals for this method (by the time your CC CD is up some crystals would have respawned). It shouldn't take too long.

Comentado por woofpuppy

Farmed heavily by others so we didn't agro anything. There are also quite a few shards up on the ridge.

Comentado por Henderman

If you want to avoid going into the canyon, you can find nodes around the rim of the canyon. You still have to avoid some giants, but there are a lot less of them than in the canyon.

Comentado por gildagger

you fakking liars. There is maybe 1 crystal not in the gorge and you cant get the ones in the canyon without aggroing the giants. I hate liars.

Comentado por BregoVelen

TBC Classic is pretty much identical to what it was originally. As a hunter I distracted the giants with my pet. I only had to kill one was rather simple, just had to make sure that I didn't draw agro from other giants while kiting. Stealth classes and pet classes probably can solo easier than others.

Comentado por Wimbleton

All ready to sneak around with my 60 rogue today and almost all the Frostmaul Shards had disappeared. Oh well, go skin a few things, kill a few others, have a cup of tea with Brumeran and back. No change. Nada. Zilch.

I've run about nine or so alts through Frostwhisper Gorge and I've never seen this before. Did a bank repossess the Shards? Did somebody hit the Infinite button on the respawn timer? After the third time this TCP dropped the quest. Not sure if this is local to my server but be prepared. Not the end of the world after all. Puzzling, though.

Comentado por Compromise

I entered the Canyon and there was 4-5 shards before I encountered any Giants just on the run down, no need to fight or avoid anything.

Go to the entrance at 59, 62

How to obtain Lascas de Friomalho:
- You can kill elites
- You can loot shards on the ground

Comentado por borcar

Enter near 58 63 (Dun Mandarr) and head down the slope into the giant ravine. This is far easier if you can stealth like druid to navigate around the giants. There are a few before you even get to the giants and you could just grab them and come back a few times to complete this. Above the ravine are a few along the ridge that are not guarded either.

The only death I had was an accidental fall into the ravine when not being careful. Also if you are druid on the ridge you can hit one with entangling roots as he walks away from one and grab it then just run to avoid aggro and restealth. Any other class that can stun, root, etc can do the same.

Took 15 minutes minus the GY run for the one fall.
