This guy starts off at LHC and apparently twice a day starts a caravan westward, which happens to agro everything in sight. If any of the mules die, it's over. It's not too hard if you have some aoe since you can't seem to pull agro off him, just burn down the mobs before they kill anything.

Anyone know if there's a fixed time for the caravan to go out?
Today, at about 2150 I caught the caravan getting hit right outside LHC.

You can't pull aggro from the mobs it seems, but taunt does work.

is there any prequest ?

Is this quest repeatable ?

Hints for this quest, having just done it myself.

I have managed to see Guard Didler only about a handful of times in the two and a half years I've played this game, nearly all of them he was at 10% health, finishing off the last skeletal mage that had bumrushed him at the very beginning of his journey. Just once did I manage to see him at the very beginning of the journey, which was today.

I would either recommend putting out enough AoE damage to take out multiple level 55-58 mobs before would be able to kill the level 50 mules, or have the ability to heal. If you can heal, then hit Ctrl+V and turn on the mules' healthbars. Don't worry about Guard Didler. As a holy paladin, a simple max-rank flash of light on a mule at 50% health was more than enough to keep them alive.

Your path will lead you along the trench that spans from the Browman Mill all the way to just north of Blackwood Lake. The Mules aggro virtually everything in compass range. The trek takes about 20-30 minutes.

When you arrive at the Argent Dawn outpost north of Blackwood Lake, pick up this "Writ of Safe Passage" quest from Guard Didler and REMAIN AT THE OUTPOST. I had initially took off to Light's Hope Chapel to turn it in, but realized that it had to be signed by an NPC back at the outpost. I rushed back (100% mount, crusader aura) and a few seconds later, the NPC -- Field Marshal Chambers -- rode up to the outpost.

Guard Didler will announce Chambers' approach. Chambers' will walk up to Didler and dismiss him (despawning him) and then will walk over to one of the main tents. It is then you will be able to talk to Chambers and get your writ signed. THEN, you may proceed back to Light's Hope Chapel and turn in your quest to Dispatch Commander Metz.

It IS possible for the donkeys to aggro the scarlet courier, in which case her and the 4 elite guards will just about 3 shot each of the donkeys, and since you can't pull aggro off the pack-mules you are basically screwed if this happens. It's just a very unlucky thing that can happen.

Commento di Basmothel

This does not count for total quests completed. I assume, then, it also does not count for Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms (had already completed that on the character that managed to be in Light's Hope at the time the mules deployed).

Commento di rhinoloupe

It seems that ALL the mules must survive for him to offer the quest. I rode by as he and one mule remaining (not sure how many he had to begin with) were surrounded by a group of mobs.

The NPC Packmaster Stonebruiser says "Our caravans go out 'bout twice a day" so it's no wonder most of us haven't seen it before...

Can anyone take the quest once the caravan is rescued? Or one person, party members, anyone, both factions?

Patch 3.0.8
My log shows that Guard Didier spawns every 2hr 20min - 3hr 30min so you only need a bit patience :)

i was mining around Eastern Plaguelands and was lucky enough to catch Didier just leaving with the mules.
all of this was happening at 20:20 server time on Frostwhisper-EU.

it seems that the mules and Guard Didier have a special "buff" that taunts every nearby aggressive creature every two seconds: Mark of Didier

since i never ever was able to catch him previously therefore i decided to get along with them and help them out:
by Light's Hope there was a bigger pull but other than that there was just easily managable single pulls.

as an enhancement shaman i was trying to pull aggro with Frost Shock, but it didn't work at all:
with Windfury Weapon procs i was able to almost pull aggro, but when i got those procs it also meant that i almost killed the attacking creature :P

if you can heal, just keep healing the mules to overaggro them.

so, after 15 minutes of walking we got to the camp finally and Didier offered me his quest then nothing more happened so i tried to chat with him a little:

Whew! That was some hard work, <class>. I haven't seen the Scourge this aggressive since…

<Guard Didier swallows hard.>

Since the last war…

my guess he's some kind of survivor, a war veteran …

after accepting the quest and one minute later Didier said:

I think I hear something! Chambers must be coming. Make way! Make way!

ok, i understand. i just sat down on the nearby hill.

after waiting another 5 minutes, Field Marshal Chambers just popped out of nowhere, activated his Retribution Aura and walked up on us and told Didier:

Job well done, soldier. Dismissed!

and then started bragging about the job he has to do –

Alright, I'll sign writs now. Bring 'em to the front, maggots.

he walked up to the bonefire so i thought it's time to ask him about my writ:

<Field Marshal Chambers growls.>

So you're the riff-raff that assisted Didier in getting the supplies here in one piece?
Where are the rest of you? I know there's gotta be more. Chickens like you generally roam in huge packs.

Bah, just give me the damned writ so I can sign off on it.

all i could said to this rude person was

Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!

then he signed my papers and pointed at the distance sending me away…

about the quest: my guess is that anyone could accept Didier's quest if he or she arrives in that one minute window when he offers it.

There are five mules that need to be protected.

I arrived in LHC at 6:00pm server time and he was there, waited until 8:30pm server time and he never moved an inch. Went to see a movie... I log back at 1am and he's still there! I really dunno how to make him start his escort quest :/

Edit: I kept my PC on all night watching the TV and playing some other games and didnt really sleep... long story short: It's now 2:40pm and he's still there. So from 6pm yesterday to 2:40pm now he just stay there with his mules >:(

Edit2: I called a GM after camping the NPC for 24+ hours... apparently the quest bugs sometimes and they do not know what is causing it. They are working on a fix.

Commento di Daxmort

Well, my girlfriend and I were wandering through the camp, headed towards Tyr's Hand when we saw a group of about 5 slimes attacking some mules. We checked WoWHead for 'Didier', and found this NPC and these comments.

We guarded him until he got to that narrow tunnel-like valley, and then he aggroed the Crimson Couriers.

Bastards.

Commento di Crasoum

Few notes on this quest.

Guard Didier spawns at 72.1 53.1 between the tree and the slope into the crevice/pit with the slimes and immediately starts moving.
When he spawns he and the donkeys immediately aggro 3-4 slimes and sometimes a random mob from the farm near by.

If you see him standing at Light's Hope, he is bugged, report it or wait for Tuesday resets.

When I was waiting for him he spawned at 7:10 am, 7:50 am , and 7:59 pm.

Commento di Thottbot

Wooohoo! First one to leave a comment, I'm a pioneer!

Anyways. You get the quest by escorting the mule caravan and their guard Didier from LHC to 47,42. They DO NOT give you a quest to do it, you simply have to follow the caravan and protect it and once you get there safely you get this quest. You must WAIT for Field Marshall Chambers to show up and sign your writ. Took maybe five minutes of waiting. Then you can take it and turn it in.

A few notes on protecting the mules: They aggro any mob that comes near them I (63 hunter at the time, druid friend with me but easily soloable by anyone over lvl 60 I'm sure) would see blips appearing on my mini-map/track beasts that were already aggroed on the mules when they were far enough away to not be on my mini-map. That's some crazy aggro radius. The mules and guard can go down pretty quick by themselves but with me escorting them it was no problem. The mules seemed to heal to 100% between each combat, however if you lose 1 single mule the quest fails.
Once the mobs aggro on the mules you cannot get aggro away from them, you just have to kill them before they kill the mules. No idea what the mules ever did to them to get that kind of grudge going on.

The guy says the caravans come twice a day. It was 7:45pm server time approximately when we started escorting, no idea if it's really twice a day or not. Feel free to comfirm or deny that. And finally there's a medic there that can remove maggot slime or ghoul rot effect.

You get an insignia and 20 rep with AD (cheap bastards!).

Commento di Allakhazam

I think if you escort the mules Packmaster Stonebruiser sends out to their destination you will be able to do this quest. Packmaster Stonebruiser will only sendout the mules twice a day. I'm not sure if that goes by in game hours or Real Life hours.

Writ of Safe Passage

Deliver the signed Writ of Safe Passage to Dispatch Commander Metz at Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands.

	Writ of Safe Passage Signed (1)
	Writ of Safe Passage (Fornito) (1)

Descrizione

Without the help of adventurers, my caravan would have never made it! Scourge were coming out of the woodwork to try and stop us from getting here.

<Guard Didier wipes his brow.>

Now we need to wait here for Field Marshal Chambers to arrive. He'll sign your writ of safe passage to take back to Dispatch Commander Metz at Light's Hope Chapel.

And <name>, watch what you say around Chambers. He's the 'bite off your head and spit down your wind pipe' type of guy - except that he'll actually do it...
