Last night I helped out a couple of fellow guildies with their elite quests in Lower City in Shattrath, so when all was said and done, I asked for some help in return. I got some major quests out of the way and boosted myself to 32% of the way through level 63.
I was searching for Ironjaw when I got called away, so we headed back there because I had also spotted the corpse of Stonegazer. I needed Stonegazer’s Blood for a group quest. He hadn’t spawned yet, so we we sought out Ironjaw and I got his pelt, then we took out Stonegazer. Natur was kind enough to ask if there were any other quests that I needed assistance with.
Why, yes, there was the Colossal Menace quest in Hellfire Peninsula that I’d had in my log for a month. We headed over there and laid waste to 5 of them and I also picked up the Crimson Crystal Shard to start the Crimson Crystal Clue. We had a fun time easily finishing The Earthbinder quest that was only one of those stupid Raging Colossus dudes. The next part got tough.
The final quest in the chain is called Natural Remedies. It involves running to the NW side of the large crystal and standing in the green summoning circle. You use the seed the Earthbinder gives you and you end up summoning Goliathon, King of the Colossi. This dude is bad! If you’re not careful, he will knock you down into the crystal’s crater, leaving your partner to fight alone. It took us 4 tries, between getting knocked down and inopportune repawns in the area.
Eventually, 2 Alliance guys came around and we all completed it twice, in a grand effort of helping each other. It was quite heart-warming. We parted with /salutes, /thanks, /bows, and /waves all around. I ended up with a nice reward for my shoulder slot with Destroyer’s Mantle. I thanked Natur for helping and went to turn in the other quests we did in Terrokar.
I turned in the Pelt of Ironjaw and completed that giver’s silly little dog-spirit talking and got my best helm yet: Helm of Lupine Cunning. I went to Shattrath City and turned in the blood for some coin and also Wind Trader Lathrai’s stolen goods for my best wand ever: Arakkoa Divining Rod, with a dang-blasting 91.6dps! I get about 240 dmg per hit with it.
