I did this quest on Thursday, January 3, 2002, and when it came time for Fergul to appear, he had an explanation point in front of his name; which meant he was bugged. I petitioned, and the suggestion was to email the GM and tell him my problem. I did get a response back telling me the quest is not operational at the moment, and the only thing he could do was to give me the Harness back and try again when the quest is fixed. I was hoping to get the legs, but I'll take the harness and try again when the quest is fixed. Just a suggestion, after you give the broodmom the harness, have a mage in your group to coh you up to the fort and another member in your party follow the mom up to the fort.

Do Fergul and Grakkel have to be up before you turn in the harness or can they spawn after you give them to her?

For Wood Elves they look like the Ulthork/Thurgadin legs. Vines and such.
I don't know for other races.

I had no trouble with this quest being 'bugged' but maybe I got lucky.

For those of you saying it's bugged bc the Broodmother becomes an NPC pet. That's bc of the Harness of Control. It makes her obey the closest being, Npc OR Pc. I've done this quest up to getting to her and noticed other people allowing her to become a pet by letting a dire wolf or other mob getting closer to her than they are .

Yet I have once question. Do these have a chain, plate or leather look? I've never gotten them and peopel who have won't cough up an answer.

It seems that lately on the Cazic-Thule server, the BM has a habit of becoming a giants pet when she wanders to close to the regular frost giant scouts. This is a Bug in the quest that has not been fixed yet. There is an easy way to fix this bug, which led to me getting my legs tonight...

1. Keep your normal group up near Fergul, but have one person set aside for giant clearing.

2. Announce to the zone that you are training giants to the EW zone, and start pulling every giant you see to EW.

One of my guildies did this tonight, dragging 12 giants to zone, and the BM had no problems, no Bugs. Just don't stop running...they will keep up.

2nd try on Kromriff Leggings

does anyone know the spawn time or know a way to find out the spawn time on the druzzil ro server? I cant get the help to stick around for 12 hours. The broodmother dosnt seem to wanna show herself.

you have to do quest in order for him to drop legs. the quest isnt that tough, as long as you can get the components in a group. (acid or sceptre from queen in cc hardest part). that blood wolf is a tough spawn too, i kited him around and had the thurg guards wack him and the wolves bite him...i got the final blow though so i got to loot. did this quest with me and a 52 mage (i was 51 at the time). he cast 2 earth pets, i dotted then nuked like mad. very resistant to snare, so i wouldnt recommend trying if you dont want aggro

I have a question about this quest. If you don't do the rest of the quest and just kill Fergul and the other does he still drop legs? I just pulled them both and group got one down but then we had aggros and had to leave Fergul like 2 nukes from death /cry So can you just kill him and get them?

I have done this quest tonight and did the following. I went invis and conned every shardwurm on the way to the broodmother. Some were ready to attack but I was able to get to the broodmother without trouble. I gave her the harness and ran out the caves directly to the giant fort. The two named giants were outside the fort (the side near the spires) just wandering around a bit and then they stopped near the right side of the fort. Soon after, the broodmother came around and attacked one of them, The other one, Fergul started running. I snared Fergul and then cast winged death and root until he was dead. I had about 2 bubbles of mana left when I was done.

When I logged on a guildie told me the BM was up so I hurried to GD and gathered a group to do this quest. The BM was wandering the zone and I didn't want to waste my harness. I shouted to see if she was bugged and the zone replied yes. I petitioned a GM and he assured me that the BM was not bugged but wandering because someone had attacked her.
Well I gave her my harness and got the appropriate response but then she turned and walked away from the fort and headed towards Thurg. Needless to say I had a sinking feeling in my gut...but after about 5 minutes she returned and the battle was on...we killed the giant without to much difficulty and I now sport some awesome legs.
GM did tell me that the BM puts them in tell hell so I guess this is to say it isn't always bugged when she is wandering.
Good Luck

I found a nice tunic to match these funky legs...

Crystalized Shadow Tunic, rare drop from tower of shadow.

Looks like leather with old graphics, but looks pretty sweet, extremely detailed leather with blue trim with velious textures enabled. This is on female gnome cleric. Blue trim matches kromrif legs and ulthork arms.

Ok, so now I have completed this quest twice. Once, I gave the harness to the broodmother and she just became a pet to a dire wolf without ever reaching the giant fort. The wolf then attacked, and so did she, but I panic animaled it, and she stayed with it as it ran away (I ran to Thurg). So, no leggings that time.
The second time I did the quest, I killed fergul, no prob, got the leggings. Then the servers malfunctioned and booted everyone as I was medding. When I finally was able to sign back on, Poof! no leggings. Also, I now had the harness back. Lovely.
So keep in mind, kiddies, that the quest is bugged, and so are the leggings themselves, it seems. Oh, and yes, it did save my character when I looted, so it's not like I just lost them to a rollover update.
As for whether Verant cares and will help...lol.

I did this quest last night and it seems that everyone seems to say "THIS IS HOW IT IS...I DID IT AND IT GOES THE SAME WAY FOR EVERYONE EVERY TIME." I am here to say this is how it went for me when I did the quest.

I got the Harness of Control from Vores, and went near the river to bring up track to see if the Broodmother was up. As it happened, she was, however, some UBER guild was doing the 10th ring quest and shouted to the zone that anyone who did not want to get slammed by 200+ giants to get out of the zone. I figured why chance it...and lose my leggins, Im out of here. I came back after the quest was confirmed to be over and all the normal mobs in the zone re-popped (including the Broodmother). I refreshed SoW, Invised up, medded to full, and headed into the first cavern to the left which twisted around a bit. I got behind the Broodmother and turned the harness into her. it gave some message like "her neck snapps and she begins heading out of the cave". I re-invised up and followed running along side and near her. (BTW I highly reccomend having someone do this quest with you, stand near the Frost giant camp to ensure that no one steals, or attacks Fergul before the Broodmother gets there) I took a chance and decided to /shout to the zone that I was doing a Quest and to please leave both the Broodmother and the two giants alone until I was finished. It took about 2 to 3 minuites for the Broodmother to get to the camp. She first goes up to the entrance to the camp as if she was going in, then circles back and attacks Grakkal. At this point Fergul despawned. I turned tward the zone, and he popped running away from me. Due to seeing many posts here saying that get Fergul away from the action before aggroing I waited a bit before actually attempting to snare. Snare held immediately (54 Druid) and then I kited him to the zone wall to avoid any adds. I rooted, and casted Winged Death and meditated. Im assuming after the Broodmother killed Grakkal, she made her way over to Fergul because I saw her come up and stop by his side. I then knew that the "pet" stories are true. I was almost afraid to reaply Winged Death on Fergul for fear that the BM would come up and attack (like normal pets do). I casted, and she remained next to him. I continued rooting and Dotting until he was half dead, and then I ended up not getting root fast enough and he came within Melee range. This is where all hell broke loose, the instant i was in Fergul's range, the BM attacked and assisted Fergul. I gained some distance between the two NPC's and re-rooted Fergul. The broodmother stopped by him and again acted like an unaggro pet. Eventually I killed Fergul, the Broodmother then Depopped, and looted my leggings. After this ordeal, I petitioned a GM and mentioned what had happened, he said to please do /bug and report my findings, and that he was happy to see that I was able to get my leggins even with the reported trouble I had. I /bug and hopefully all will see the patch repairing the problem in the near future. I went as far as to tell the GM I would duplicate it for him if he wanted, but he said its not necessary.

This can be done solo as I am a 54 Druid with 171 wis, just use Form of the Howler and med while he is rooted and dotted. I was oom when he was 10% health left, so memmed Creeping Crud to keep him from regenerating HP back while I med and actually found that it took about 3 casts of that spell to drop him.

Tonight I finally got to Vores, and got my harness. Happems mother was up at time so I run back, give her harness. I have a 55 Wiz at fort waiting for me. I am a 50 ranger. She heads to fort, gets there, and walks away. She does NOT engage any giants. I get upset, and a few moments later I see the 2 I want run out of the fort, heading to the Mother. I snare the one I need, wiz drops it, I get meat. NO LEGS. I have heard of 2 other failed attemps tonight also after I voiced my concerns in a shout. Can she only do it once, am I missing something? Please help.
