I think its great we can log on here and get info from other players - thanks to all that post - perhaps we could all remember to use puntuation though *cough, cough Hanz =)* so that we can understand each other.
The Grimling Forest wars/raids still work, just tweaked a bit. You basically just go wipe out the camp and the subsequint spawns untill you get the loot. Then main diff is you aint gottah keep no one alive but your self, wooo hooo! read up on the zone and the write ups on the epic and you will find what you need.
As far as is currently known this cloak is the end of the line. The hero cloaks were apparently removed when Grimling Forest was revamped a while back.
