I have the control the undead quest in the Firemyst. How many of those darn
skellies do have to kill before the quest is completed?

Is that the quest obtained inside Firemyst? The Cleanse quest?

If so, it's not a huge number, but that is far from the end of the quest...

And the quest is stupid. How is being wiped supposed to be a good
quest ? The reward is great but the only way it can be completed is by
kinda exploiting the system.

When the final sigil thingy is taken the entire zone aggros on you.
The entire zone. You'd be hard pressed just to survive the mob where
the final sigil is let alone 100+ other critters joining in. I doubt
even a huge raid party could survive it. And your hard pressed just to
get a single group together to get in there.

One guy in our group told us how it had to be done. Everyone goes to
the fort and logs out except two people. One guy stays behind where
the final sigil is, the other in the fort. The guy in the fort then
logs out and sends a group message when he's at 10 seconds to go. The
guy at the sigil then runs in, grabs the sigil, gets annihilated just
before the final guy logs out, thereby getting the quest credit.
Everyone then logs back in and the sacrifice guy gets ressed, everyone
gets their reward.

I stayed behind and another guy did too, I guess I didn't really
believe the guy when he said it was a gauranteed wipe. The three of us
went down in about 5 seconds, and that was before the vast majority
of the zone even got to us.

Still, was a great reward. Just wish they'd make it so there was some
way to do it properly.

Cheers,

I think this is the one Bob Perez described from the beta, in which
case there is a trick to doing it properly. But I could be wrong,
because I've levelled past Firemyst and never done the quests in
there.

<tosses in a pair of copper coins>

I do have to agree with Patrick here. I recall that this very thing
happened. When reading about the quest during Beta. If I recall, the key
was to clear the zone prior to taking on the final challenge. I have not
done this, so I cannot truly say, but that was what I remember reading.

I do hope that helps.

Fin and others.

I have done the quest you are talking about..I think. Yes the trick to to
clear the zone..especially the graves around the final battle. Great reward
after yuou have completed it. You will most likely need a well balanced
group to do this quest..good luck

They did.

Buy a shovel from the merchant in the fort. Dig up all of the graves,
fight the one to two mobs that spawn from each grave as you dig it up.
Once you have cleared all of the graves, you can then safely do the final
fight to get the last sigil. Nothing else will agro on you. The mobs
you saw agro were all the ones the Necromancer (that is the final
encounter) summoned from the graves.

I have done it successfully, no exploits of any kind. You do not need to
clear the entire zone, you need to clear all the graves using a shovel
bought from the merchant in the fort. Clear the graves one at a time, by
digging up the grave, which spawns one or two (maybe even three) mobs.
Then you can safely do the final encounter with only the Necromancer and
his two guards agroing.

That is exactly what I read. Thank you for the confirmation there Graeme!

You do not need to clear the zone, only the graveyards. I've done it
twice now, I am quite certain of this.

I've kinda let "A Foul Wind" sleep in my journal because og the complexity
of getting the right group together. That, and the rumors about how
virtually impossible it was to complete the quest in a sensible way combined
with the fact that you cannot go there solo and familiarize yourself with
the zone in advance.

This thread has revoked my appetite for Firemyst Gully, but I'm now a lvl24
guardian. Without spoiling the suspense, can you tell me if the reward would
still be valuable to me?

I have not completed Foul Wind yet, I have completed the Cleansing quest
that is given inside the normal instance of Firemyst. I wore the reward
from that one until someone made me a tier 3 necklace. I do intend on
trying to complet Foul Wind yet before I level much more.

Okay, perhaps you could elaborate a bit? I have obtained access to FG and I
have a quest named "A Foul Wind". When I try to enter FG, I'm met with the
choice between "A Foul Wind" or just FG.

The quest we've been discussing here, with the graves and the shovel and all
that, is "Cleansing", which is somehow obtained by entering the normal FG
instance, right?

Are the two quests in any way interlinked?

If I want to do "A Foul Wind", will everybody in the party need to bring
that quest, or can they help out as long as they're grouped with me?

To the best of my knowledge there is no link whatsoever between the
quests. If you enter the normal FG, you can get the cleansing quest, not
sure if it is also available in the Foul Wind instance or not. To get
the cleansing quest, talk to one of the NPCs in the fort, only one will
give you a quest.

I assume that not everyone needs to have the Foul Wind quest in order for
you to complete it, but someone who has the quest must be the one to
click in, and he must select the Foul Wind instance.

Yeah, I wrote about this one in beta. The quest has undergone some changes
since then but it's still basically the same idea and Graeme has outlined it
pretty well. It's one of my favorites for that level. One thing I would add
to the discussion of the reward is that doing it at level 15 yielded me
almost 50% experience, and that alone just about eclipsed the loot.
