To capture a tower you have to wait inside it until it's captured. You will see a slider bar appear showing the progress toward capture.

Kommentar von Eversion

If you capture a tower and an tower of the alliance is nearby, 5 guards will spawn, mount up with like 40% extra speed and will run to the next tower, follow them, they will guard you while you are capturing the tower. If you captured it, you will gain 18 honor + a grave stone will appear, click on it and you'll get Lordaeron's Blessing, wich will give 5% extra health in Eastern Plaguelands, Scholomance and Stratholme. You get 1% extra damage against undead for each tower, if the horde/alliance controls all 4 towers you/they will gain 5% extra damage, wich is a bonus of 1%. This effect is passive, and will just come back when u ressurect. The Blessing won't last through death. You gain 560xp for discovering the towers aswell.

Kommentar von thehaf

im not sure, but i think the tower has to be either contested or taken by the other side for you to complete it for the quest. It was barley on horde and me and the wife set there until it couldnt go any further up and we didnt get the completion. Just a heads up

Kommentar von Eversion

Some extra good information: all the towers have a special ability wich i'll write down here:

Crown Guard Tower: if it's captured, the specific faction that holds it will get a Graveyard with a spirit healer near it.

East Wall Tower: 5 guards will spawn, mount up and run to Northpass Tower IF Northpass Tower is controlled by the opposite faction, else, no guards will spawn.

Northpass Tower: if captured, the Shrine of Lordaeron will appear, when you click on it, you'll get 5% extra health in Stratholme, Eastern Plaguelands and Scholomance.

Plaguewood Tower: this tower has a flight master, wich can only be used by the faction that controls it. You can fly only to the other towers, not back. You can even fly to a tower that is controlled by the opposite faction. The 'flying mount' is a ghost and is the same speed as a normal flight path.

in the plaguewood tower i not see a slider, but after few minutes tower change blue-grey-red and quest complete

Kommentar von 27536

If you are alone, and the tower bar is fully on the opposite side, you'll need 12 minutes to capture it; it takes only 4 minutes if the bar is at the grey border.

Kommentar von actown

As of 2.3 9550 XP gained

Kommentar von shadowkid104

The Xp ammount given above is inaccurate, i just finished tthe quest and recieved 9550 XP and 90s
Hope this helps, you might also want to bring a friend, i got ambushed by alliance, but i had a pally with me

Kommentar von 124531

and if the towers are captured by horde (i`m horde) what must i do ? :)

Kommentar von sugarzombie

19 honor from each tower you capture (at level 59, just after patch 2.4)

Kommentar von 104949

This quest is easy, you just need a little patience.

First you need to find a tower that is occupied by an opposite faction. Or is contested (neutral), all towers are located on your map. If you see a tower that's already occupied by your faction then you can't do anything about it, wait until your faction loses the tower then capture it.

to capture it, you have to wait until the small bar reaches your faction color and you complete the quest. It takes a few minutes so be patient, once captured you should gain 19 honor and a light should shine on you. The more people you have trying to capture it that are on your faction the faster it goes but if there are enemy players trying to capture the flag at the same time it will go slower.

Blue - Alliance
Gray - Neutral
Red - Horde

Kommentar von 170000

This quest was red to a level 55 almost 56 and i actually found it to be easy.
All you have to do is wait in the towers for awhile to take them,the only trouble is somethimes alliance come so i would recomend doing this on a weekday apart from friday there is usually no alliance there.

Kommentar von Cross88

Bugged as of August 14. Capturing a tower doesn't always give you quest credit, honor, or anything.

Kommentar von 251993

Did this on a Wednesday morning with my level 57 Rogue. I received 76 honor points, 9550 EXP and 90 Silver for completion as listed above.

Kommentar von tazz602

I was getting completely frustrated with this.

Lvl 59 Deathknight, Horde.

I captured three towers successfully without issue - the the last one, Plaguewood tower was not working. Yesterday and today I log on, no Horde is controlling the towers, I ride out to Plaguewood and it is grey - as soon as I step on it turns to Horde and I wait until the slider goes all the way to the other side and I do NOT get credit for it.

I had to wait for it to be captured and in Alliance possession - then take it back. Seemed just being there when it was grey wasn't good enough, at least for that tower.

Kommentar von 290522

I stood in Northpass Tower for like 15 minutes and the faction bar didn't even show up. Then I said screw it and went to do something else. I went just northeast of the tower and the bar appeared and starting switching over to my side. Seems slightly bugged at least for this tower.

Also if you are stealthed then you cannot capture the tower.

Kommentar von 296028

You need to be flagged for pvp to capture the flag...

Kommentar von eltopo

Counts toward loremaster of the eastern kingdoms.

Kommentar von twilightdenka

I have just captured Northpass Tower, and the Shrine of Lodaeron bonus does not seem to appear near the vicinity of the tower. Are the bonus effects of the towers still intact?

Kommentar von 355344

Slowest... Timer... Ever...

Kommentar von 305696

Still bugged as of February 2010 - captured Plaguewood Tower twice with no credit. Was not mounted either time.

Kommentar von 611135

You must be flagged PVP to get the progress bar to appear

Kommentar von 611135

must be flagged pvp for progress bar to appear

Kommentar von Thottbot

You only get the amount of gold from the quest, no Honor or Argent Dawn Reputation. Only a waste of time imo...

Kommentar von Thottbot

How can i capture a tower?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Sit in tower until it tells you it is captured.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Put your pvp on and sit in the tower until its taken.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well I captured the first quest just fine, but some stupid 60 gnome lock followed me for the rest, and right now I went to the furthest tower possible, and am hoping he cant get past the mobs fast enough so I can get the tower and run.

Does the alliance have a FP to plaguewood or something?

-56 Undead Priest

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you talk to the gryphon ghost-guy, cou can fly to the other towers on fancy ghost gryphons. Even if you are a horde:]

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you're a rogue don't vanish because the capturing will cancel then...

Kommentar von Thottbot

I just captured a neutral tower and didn't get credit for it in the quest log. Does it have to be enemy controlled?

Kommentar von Thottbot

how long should it take tio capture

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got these rewards lvl 57 priest: 6600 Experience, 90 silver

no rep with horde or orgrimmar
no honor or anything

Kommentar von Thottbot

A: You have to stand inside the tower, or very close to tower.
B: You must have PVP enabled if you're in non-pvp server.
C: There is an line that shows on right corner of your screen, it shows how much you need to capture tower. Once it is in your faction's colour, you have captured it.
D: Multiple people capture towers faster than just one.

Kommentar von Thottbot

DAabozz said:
189 honor every 2 min.
5670 honor every hour.
136080 for 24 hours.
952560 for 7 days.
HWL here I come...
Just find a movie to watch and a good anti afk add-on.

Is this still possible? cause I know the patch 2.0 changes things a little. like when I capture a tower its 18 honor instead of 189.

Kommentar von Thottbot

its so boring ! im doing it now , nothing to do but sit there in towers

!@#$ quest , easy but boring 0/10

Kommentar von Thottbot

what you do if towers already captured?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm sorry but I love the 70 allys that have nothing better to do then to cap these towers...they make it so easy for a horde to complete this quest. seriously I'm capping a tower right now (I think it just went neutral) and there is a 70 Human mage waiting for me to cap it for horde so he can cap it again...Not ganking me or anything.

EDIT: Never mind...he got bored of waiting =(

Kommentar von Thottbot

The plaguewood tower seems to be missing its bar, but its still there, just sit until it turns.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The plaguewood tower does not have a bar, but it still works. Just sit in there until your faction gets it. Seems like you can also fly to any other tower from Plaguewood tower.. Probably because it's the farthest one.

Kommentar von Thottbot

How long does it take to take a tower? And can you capture it while in stealth?

Kommentar von Thottbot

u cant capture a tower that is already captured by the horde.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For Plaguewood tower, just stand in tower like you would any other and wait the same amount of time. You won't see any bar for Alliance/Horde, but it works the same as any other tower. You sit for 10 + minutes and then the tower is captured - at the point when the tower becomes neutral, the gryphon master there will disappear. Once captured, a gryphon master for your faction then appears and you can ride a gryphon to any other tower (even one you haven't captured yet).

Kommentar von Thottbot

OKAY...HERES THE FINAL THING...
plaguewood tower does not have a capture bar
when it goes neutral the spectral gryphon rider will disappear, and when horde captures our flight master will appear and let you fly to other bases on special ghost mounts.
Even if it looks like you are making no progress, if you're unstealthed and flagged, you are.

Kommentar von Thottbot

damn this quest is so boring!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I did this quest at work. Run to a tower, alt-tab to some work-related stuff, listen thru my headphones for any odd noises. Lather, rinse, repeat.

As has been stated before, the plaguewood tower seems to be bugged, in that it doesn't give a progress bar. If you stand inside, however, you will eventually cap the tower. Also as has been mentioned, once you capture the tower a griffon master for your side will appear outside plaguewood tower that can fly you to any other tower.

In all, it was an easy quest, if somewhat boring.

Note, EPL was kind of dead when I did it, so I didn't have to worry about alliance at all. You may have to fight it out though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well I'm not sure if this is new or what since no one else has mentioned it. Starting at the Eastwall Tower Lordaeron fighters and such showed up and rode off. They waited at the Norhtpass Tower for me, also at there is a Lordaeron Shrine that gives you a 5% health increase that lasts for half an hour.
Last but not least as of 9-22-07 Plaugewood Tower now has a status bar!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Get ready for a very very very long time just sitting around doing nothing. Even longer if you get some PvP action out of it.

A tower can be in numerous states on the meter, you can be lucky and find all towers in the neutral position (Middle of the bar - gray portion). Unfortunately at the time I ran this quest all towers were under complete alliance control, which means the bar was completely to the left hence a longer period standing there.

So (at least on my server, Kil'Jaeden) The plaguewood tower still does not have a status bar. So stand in that tower unstealthed and you will capture it, can take up to 15 mins.

I started at Eastwall tower then Northpass and then plaguewood. After you capture plaguewood a gryphon master (yes a GRYPHON master) for EITHER (yes EITHER) faction will appear. Taxi a ride to the last tower, crown guard and capture that one.

This quest yields some honor, more if you actually get any pvp out of it.

XP (at lvl 59) = 6600
Honor = 75

Kommentar von Thottbot

on my server, mok'nathal plaguewood has a meter. but alliance watches it well

Kommentar von Thottbot

Finished the quest, finally, after coming to the EP 3 separate times. First few times all the towers were Alliance controlled and there were no Horde in the area to contest them, boring.

Today, there were Horde all over, along with us Alliance, and it was a blast trying to complete the quest and keep control of the towers, even after the quest was done.

An important note about the timers in the towers:

The timers work like this - there is a meter that shows about 40% blue; 20% gray; and 40% red (approximate). Once one side takes a tower, and no one contests it, the timer runs all the way to one side, slowly, until it reaches the end. So, if the Alliance takes a tower, the meter will run all the way into the blue to the left, if no Horde come to the tower marked PVP. Now, It will take ABOUT 5 minutes, marked PVP, for a Horde player to sit in that tower for the meter to run all the way through the blue (40%), through the gray (20%) and reach the red. Once the meter reaches red, the tower marks Horde. It does NOT have to run ALL the way through the red to mark Horde, just barely touch the tiniest part of the red.

Now, if you are running this quest, what you should do, as I did, is wait for a tower to be turn gray, which means a Horde is in there, run to it and wait outside (hidden). Watch the tower run Red and watch the Horde guy run to the next tower. Run inside and mark PVP and you will see that the meter is BARELY into the red. You will maybe have to wait 1 1/2 minutes while the meter comes out of the tiny part of the Red and through 20% gray until it touches blue, you're done! Follow the guy to the last one and kill him. :-) Don't kill him before because you need him to mark the towers!

Also, the Plague tower timer STILL does not work, just stand there until you get the 'flash' and your log shows.

One more note, try to remember to unflag PVP before running back to camp, although it was fun not to. We had 2 Alliance against 3 Horde in a free for all that was kinda fun. One note tho, if you get close to the 70 Elite guards near the camp, and anyone from any side attacks the other, the 70's attack whomever attacked first! Trust me, you'll go down fast, lol.

Good Luck

Kommentar von Thottbot

you can grind the exp before these towers cap

Kommentar von Thottbot

Okay so I just completed this quest and in my server Nazgrel the timer for the plaguewood tower works fine. Don't worry about the Elite Griphon Master when you get there he won't attack you. As soon as the tower changes to your faction then another griphon master will appear that can fly you to any other tower. This is ONLY for the plaguewood tower though.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Does it have to be captured by the alliance first? (blue)

Kommentar von Thottbot

So this quest is off normal, make sure you have lunch sitting around, but here's how to do it.

You must be flagged PvP, so right click on your char icon with the health status bar stuff and set PvP.
I also was lucky as all bases were flagged Horde, and I was playing Alliance, and no PvPs were to be seen.

Now, its slow...

So I started this first with the closest, EastWall tower, solo, oh so long I waited. ~10 minutes.

Once caputurued, I moved on to Northpass tower, as a bunch of Alliance steeds spawned and started going that way.

After sitting around picking my nose, I finally got the Northpass tower and went to the Plaguewood tower, my swift mount was the only thing that let me get there. I'm lvl 60. But still a bit harsh run. Still didn't have to fight however.

After you get Plaguewood, just use the "ghosty" flightmaster at the tower base and fly to Crown Guard Tower. and sit and pick your nose again.

As I was lvl 60, no Burning Crusaide, I did earn a nice 6 Gold 63 silver, but not rep anywhere.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got all but Crown Guard Tower yet it says all horde controled so I can get quest compleate :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

OK, this may be a very dumb question, but how the hell do I get rid of the tower icons at the top of my screen. I abandoned this quest a while ago and they are still there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

im on this quest right now and i have all the towers captured but the crown tower, it says its under horde control but its not letting me cap it... i have been sitting in the tower for like 20 mins now

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found this impossible to solo at lvl 58 (horde). I trotted off to one of the towers, set my pvp flag, and was ganked within 10 minutes by question marks. He two-shot me. Hope he had fun wasting my time and not getting any honor for the kill. In fact none of the players on the opposing faction were anywhere near my lvl.. likely all lvl 70's or greater.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If the tower is already taken over by the horde. How do i get it for this quest?

Kommentar von Thottbot

peace of p155 on hellcream during the day no alliance around at all, PVP on then just sit for 10 mins

Kommentar von Allakhazam

well i have been flagged , sat for way to long and nothing happened. Dont you get a bar that shows you how far along you are by your map

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm sorry. No honor for converting neutral to your side. However 18 for converting from opposing faction. You dont get a quest objective unless the tower is under opposing faction control. Going to make this quest hard since Eastern Plagueland tower capturing isnt a huge priority on my server.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

how can i ever ' capture ' them damn towers when they are always already ours when i come to look?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

2.0.1 patch: you get 18 honor points per tower capture.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You can't be stealthed or go stealth. anytime your in stealth it takes away from the meter or the meter never shows. Found this one out the hard way.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Turn the PvP on when coming to the tower and yo you need to wait about 2 minutes to Turn the tower to Grey (if it was Blue) and then wait till it turns Red.
There is a Graphic notification (you won't miss it)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

No bar appeared at first, then I logged out and back in and the bar was there. Strange.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

july 29 2007 opened a GM ticket concerning the issue with the plaguewood tower.. GM knows about the issue

the issue was that no bar appeared but the thing still went so just wait.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Emmisary Gormok is at Light's Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

O and I got 9950 XP and 90 silver at lv 59 on my DK

Kommentar von Allakhazam

it's useless to gain those towers you gain 189 honor WOW! -.- They shold give 1890 Then it would be some Real world PvP!. Btw Instead of 1+ dmg per tower buffs.. it should be 1+ crit.. Blizz have to "Read n' learn"

Edited, Nov 30th 2006 1:28pm by iskallejohn

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just make sure you are flagged PvP while waiting there otherwise nothing will happen. Easy now nobody really quests around here anymore.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

On a PvE server, wandering around a tower does nothing, nothing to click on that I can tell. No enemies to fight. Is there some specific order or do you have to actually go PvP in the tower or what?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Lame.. I waited there forever and nothing happened.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This also gives 189 bonus honor for each tower you gain control of.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've tried this numerous times, but no bar appears on my screen... what add-on can conflict with this?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tower apparently needs to be completely Alliance/Horde if you're Horde/Alliance, respectively or neutral in order to capture, which is retarded since I could only capture 3 of the 4 towers.

Kommentar von goadiroth

Just to repeat what's been said down below: if you're stealthed, you won't get credit for capturing the tower!

Kommentar von Maaarf

So, after capping the first tower, I headed over to plaguewood and capped it but no quest credit given, I went to the other two towers and capped those and no quest credit given, I can only assume that, as i did them out of sequence, it bugged the quest, and so I wasted my time.
Rather miffed tbh,

Kommentar von Imbarus

This quest is not bugged. You'll always get credit for cap if you capped it from ally to horde without interruptions.
I didnt get credit, thought it was a bug, but then it occured to me -- it is so damn boring to cap it, you move all the time.
And sometime you leave the capping area.
Well, when you cap it ally>neutral, and then jump around and leave the area even for a brief period of time, you will cap it from neutral to horde, which is not enough?
That's my theory anyway.
