Husman's Raid  

After waiting 3 days for the Grimlings to pop they finally did , I spoke to Captian Necin & he informed me that he wanted a camp cleared , I followed him to one of the camps where he said Kill the waves & the guards if you can , after the first clearing he walked back to his camp near the banker in the fort .. so i cleared the camp another 8 times & Nothing no medal NOTHING not a single named .. did i miss something ?...

Alright in order to do this part of the quest you no longer need the acrylia sphere. Just walk up to Husman say we are ready to go <assuming the grimlings are up, if not you must wait til the zone resets> Husman will stand there a minute then run off to a camp.. follow him. When he stops by the camp he will say somethin like ok your objective is to clear out the camp and take out the shaman presence. Beware of the cretures they summon, good luck! at this point you want to say to him, " we are ready to begin." He will then say something along the lines of rush the heart of the beast! Now the fun starts, just kill all the mobs around the fort being careful not to get near fire. When they all dead you will be able to target the spiritchanters around the fire and kill em kill the little mobs they send at you cuz those are what drop the medals. We had like 4 medals drop for us. After you kill all the spiritchanters Soul Echo will spawn, kill him take his goodies and get outta there. Hope this helps, I know I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to start the proper sequence. Good luck! :)

Zone reset, all camps where owned by Grimlings.
I talked with scout husman . Told him yes i was ready to go , He walked to the camp. He told me to let him know when i was ready to being , i told him i was. He said goodluck. and he left. My group started clearing the camp . The firepit in the center, popped a mob of smaller grimilings.
Killed the mob twice and the metal dropped.
The other beastlord that was with me ran back to husman and spoke with him followed him back to camp. Killed mob again and his dropped .
Hope it helps.

The zone finally reset today where the grimlings needed to be pushed back again, therefore requireing the grimling camp fights. I THINK it was reset by a fellow beast completing the grimling head quest.

Anyway, there were 3 of us beasties and 2 of em got the copper medal from the camp fights. I could not get one to drop, and by the time it came around to me several people had left and the raid was falling apart at the seams. I do not have experience in running a raid and would appreciate any advice from more seasoned players on how to get this zone to "reset" or trigger so the camp fights can begin. I feel certain if I can find the zone in this state and had one solid group I could do enough fighting to get a copper medal of war. I talked to a GM and he could only tell me he thought the quest had been changed in some way, but could offer no other assistance.

Husman no longer goes a-raiding, instead he tells you to goto the town to the North, where you need to talk to the Officer; a Major I think.
He will give you a crate to put 4 heads of named Grimlings in... Found the first in the mines. and got a head, the others may well be there too, ran out of time tonite, what with having to rediscover the new quest, will add to this as I get chance to finish it , GLuck folks .

FOOTNOTE, DID THE REST OF THE MINES RIGHT TO THE aCRYLIA cAVERNS ZONE, NO OTHER SPAWNS OF NAMED; MORE TO FOLLOW , LOL

As of todays patch these quests have totally changed.

If you hail General Staginar and say 'which camps' He'll make a list of all the camps that the grimlings have been run out of. Once you win a raid, the camp grimlings despawn and thugs spawn in their place.

There are NINE raids. It appears that as soon as you complete one you can no longer do that raid until the entire zone resets.

Each guard in the fort corresponds to a raid. Captain Necin is the ninth.

I have been unable to locate the way to start the 3rd raid, but the scouts in front of the first building start raids 1 and 2. After you beat raids 1 and 2 all the scouts tell you to go talk to the Captain and the Veterans.

The Veterans start raids 4-8.

Raid 1 involves going to a camp and killing the members of the camp while untargetable casters nuke you. When the camp is clear, the casters become targetable. When the casters are dead a boss caster spawns. He drops a bunch of different loot. Each member of the camp drops Document 1 (used in the Beyond Sonic Wolf Bane quests).

Raid 2 involves going to a camp, killing the members of the camp, while untargetable shamans summon tiny grimlings at you. When you kill everything in the camp, the untargetable shamans become targetable. After you kill the shamans, a boss named something like Soul Core spawns. He drops a dagger. Sorry I don't have better details, I was excited and in a hurry to do these quests. Each member of the camp drops Document II or Document III. I didn't realize they dropped both and only got document III. That sucked, because I was there to get both. :/ They also drop a lot of copper medals used for the beastlord epic.

Raid 3...I couldn't get this one started.

Raid 4...You have to kill some tougher grimlings while untargetable clerics heal them. This one is a *****. My party was wiped out because we didn't expect the increase in difficulty.

Raid 9. We went and checked this out. Saw a lot of grimlings that conned dark blue at level 45. Lots of casters.

We need more details on these quests. They seem to be really cool. They are a hell of a lot more fun than the officer quests before.

Please post your notes!!!

I have to agree with Usaftrey. I had dual box 54 Druid and 52 BST. Attempted this quest first time with a guildies help (54 BST) and 2nd wave starts and next thing I know - Scout is dead :(. I logged and parsed my log and realized that I bashed him once, then my pet obliterated him about 10 seconds after he tried to hit me (I love my pet BTW). I decided to re-attempt a few hours later and to "MIND MY PET" this time. Very easy. Even though you cant heal Scout Husman, he regens quite fast - after initial camp take he was at 80% and was at 100% when I checked him shortly after the 2nd wave.

Couple things to keep in mind. The grimlings run directly for the scout (and sometimes pop right on top of him already hitting him), so sit next to him to gain initial agro. With my Regrowth spell on, I regenned all of my HP's befor the next wave. Also, mem the fast cast spells. I used Calefaction and a L19 DD with druid to agro any that hit the scout and then waited for my BL and his pet to wax the other grims and come finish the wave off. Max grim hit was around single 50s or so but mostly in low teens.

2nd thing to think about, Watch the casters. they'll hit Scout for 100-200 DD with spell which accounts for about 40% of his life. This is where the 1.5 sec cast spell comes in handy.

I was in a grove after 2nd wave and officer showed up on 4th (very luck from what I read here)

EDIT

After the patch early may, the quest has changed somewhat - to make it quite easy for you now, but you may get confused and think it's bugged. Here's the major changes:
1-DONT Buy the sphere!! You just talk with the scout. He doesn't ask for the sphere anymore and it's just a waste of 80pp or so.
2-The Scouts no longer get involved. They walk away after starting the quest for you.
3-These "Quest" grimlings (and only these ones) will drop 1-5pp each normally, which is a nice addition.
3-the COPPER MEDAL OF WAR is dropped off of the grimlings that are part of the quest.

Been looking for Scout Husman to pop for 2 days now sent a bug report so did Danarin's for funsies. If you go and see Husman hasn't spawned please file a bug report so we can get this fixed.

I camp in there almost 2 and half hour still not seeing the officer.anyone please tell me the spawn time of the officer.

the Scout asks for 6 people about his level and he's about 25. Bringing 6 x L40's will take all the fun out of it. Ok so it's hard for 6 x L25, some of them might die, they might not even be able to finish it the first try.

Don't complain your bored or loot is poor or leveling is slow if you are constantly fighting light blue mobs. If you've not died lately then you've not been pushing your limits.

First lesson - you can't heal the Scout, or buff him, or otherwise do anything to keep him alive, other than keeping him from getting hit.

Second lesson - Clearing the camp before the scout gets there doesn't help, as the camp respawns just as Scout charges into it.

Third lesson - The Scout is no higher on hate lists than your party members. Therefore, park your melees around the Scout, and between waves, have them sit; the spawning Grimlings will aggro the sitting characters instead of the Scout.

Fourth lesson - You need melee characters. At least 2, maybe 3.

Fifth lesson - Pet classes should never target the Scout; assist your MT, don't target the Scout to find out who he is targeting or to assist him, because you will inevitably set your pet to attacking the scout, then you might as well just kill him and be done with it.



Last night, our guild took a group here to do this - ranging from a 31 Mage to a 45 Druid and Chanter. Also included was a 40 MAG, and myself, a 34 DRU. Our only melee was a 40ish BST.

We broke into the camp fine, and held off most of the Grimling spawns. However, at what we suspect was the last wave before the Officer spawned (significantly more spawns then had been for the last waves), I aggroed 3 while sitting and medding, and died. Before I could get back, our other Druid ran out of Mana and couldn't keep the BST alive and with aggro, so the Scout died.

Take lots of plat with you to run this event...or at least have it in the bank (there is a bank in the fort) - the sphere you need to start this battle cost me 56pp, with the other spheres running around 72 and 98.

Hopefully, next week, I will be aboe to inform you that the Officer is dead, after we go back and try this again.

I recently did the quest w/some guildies..one of the drops from the officer was a Crude Fur Bag..it's a 6slot 25% wt. reduction bag..but when I tried to put items into the bag, I get the message that "only ammo may be put in a bondolier"..Anyone have any clue as to what ammo would go into this?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Vah Shir Class quests after the Bane wpn and Ahom parts goes to the Capt in the Forest and to these Grim Camp clearings. The Documents are the parts needed for this and get combined with your (Class) Garrison Cloak to turn in for the next part. Apparently one from each of the Scout quests. Seems the Hero Quest must have parts on it as well as some other items for Key quest.

We looted a captured grimmling document 1 any info on this would be helpful. As for the other drops, do the quest you might find it worth it
