You folks talking about Ilganar tower are at the wrong tower for this quest.&nbsp The one for this quest is North West of Stonewatch Keep, not North East.&nbsp If you get to the top floor and see Morganth, you are at the wrong tower (you will know because if you see Morganth you are so dead).

There's a lot of towers here! The one you want is the one that looks just like Azorza's Tower model, across from the one with the clock on it. If you came up the road from the mill, you'll make a right on the road to Stonewatch, and you'll be faced with the first set of Blackrock Elite guards next to a flag. This tower is to your right at the top of the hill.

One caution, the respawn time is fairly fast for the ground mobs, so don't mess around trying to pick off one at a time or respawn and wandering patrols will get you. Inside the tower the respawn is slower and you can take your time.

Dont forget to go back to the statue after completing this quest...it will give you a quest to kill the mage in the other tower..

A rogue should be able to do this without dying, while other classes need not die more than once.

After rezzing or stealthing to the top, make sure you place yourself on the ledge out of line of sight of the stationary guard you will be on the side closest to the guard but farthest from the center of the tower.&nbsp If the scout is on the other side of the tower and you are placed properly then neither mob will be able to see you when you bug the jar and you can hearth out or use whatever escape suits your class and fancy.

Be careful of the scout who patrols the stairs.&nbsp He likes to come all the way up and spoil the plans of incautious adventurers.&nbsp Also remember that you will automatically unstealth when you jump, so try not land in the path of the lower patrol with a ten second cooldown on your stealth and nowhere to run.

Make sure you are in the right tower, it is near Stonewatch Keep, immediately northwest of it, and is named Stonewatch Tower. Put your head down and run into the tower, as far as you can. You will be killed, but if you get at least onto the ramp you can rez at the very top of the tower, next to the barrels on the ledge.

Stay out of sight of the Shadowcaster, rez on the ledge behind the barrels. Wait for the wandering around guard dude to be far away, rez, and immediately right click the jar on the barrels before the wandering guard goes aggro and alerts the caster. This will let you do it solo, took me two tries as 24 warrior.

the quest might suck, but its part of a chain, just go back too Teocritus in the tower of Azora. You will get a new quest to kill Morganth (the elite in tower og Ilgalar)
the reward is a good shoulder. Rose Mantle (cloth +5 spirit +5intellect)

i did it like this ->

first i died @ bottom after that i resurectted @ almost top of torn then i did it like this i aggroed&nbsp
with my pet to the guy who stands after that i aggroed the other guy who moves with my bet
rushed fast to the jard and DONE

Easiest way for a hunter to do this quest is with a partner.&nbsp That said, here's how I didn't follow my advice and soloed into the tower.

Start by sending your pet to attack the guards in the tower.&nbsp Then run past the fighting up the stairwell.&nbsp If you have time, I dropped a freeze trap to buy myself a little more time.&nbsp

About half way up the tower, you'll encounter more orcs.&nbsp Use an aspect besides cheetah here or it will be a long painful walk.&nbsp Hopefully, your pet has bought you enough time to reach the top of the tower and die.&nbsp You will die.

So here's the tricky part.&nbsp Go back a rezz in on the platform just before the top of the tower.&nbsp Make sure the guard patrolling the stairs is on the bottom part of his patrol when you rezz.&nbsp Revive your pet and quickly heal yourself (bandage or potion).

Now, send your pet to attack the orc standing by the jar.&nbsp Hopefully, this will pull both guards.&nbsp If not, have your pet attack the one who's attacking you.&nbsp Hopefully, you'll be free to open the pot.&nbsp Once you complete the quest, jump off the side.

In the end you'll have a completed quest a pet whose very angry with you.&nbsp Nothing a few treats can't fix :)

Just ran into tower with shield on and died,
Then proceeded to rez just behind the barrels at top while the sentry was over the other side of the tower.
No aggro = Easy Quest

yeah this isnt really a problem this quest

just make your way to the top of the tower and rez just behind the barrels.

if there is an orc patrolling, make sure he is out of range before you rez.

then just jump off the tower and run!

after the jar q,return 2 the lion and u get another q asking u 2 kill morganth,which results in a shoulders with 5 int and 5 spirit

WARLOCK: Put out your VW before attempting anything. Run towards the entrance of the tower, as soon as something hits you use your VW's sacrifice. Allow yourself to die when close/in the tower. Res about 3/4 up the tower, on the stairs when the roaming orc is down far enough to not be aggro'ed. Summon your VW again and run up to the top of the tower, setting your VW on both orcs. This should give you enough time to click on the jar and hop off the tower.

rogues rogues rogues! i stealthed my way all they way up then sapped caster and gouged the other guy!quickly loot the jar and wala! easy but i died when i tried to get away after i hit the ground...

Paladin 24 (I lvled while doing it, so i hadn't new skills) soled...killing all guards two at time :D

Paladin rule, Verigan's fist pwn :p

I soloed as a 21 hunter, it was fairly tough, and I died like 3 times.

Whenever I had to fight two mobs, I'd solo one of the Scouts that shoot their bow (So I could still shoot them) and I'd have me pet tank one of them, then just go all out and hope you can dish out enough damage.

Right as I walked out of the tower there were respawns.

Most of the mobs I could solo pull, those were easy as pie.

Just tried this, its a royal pain in the neck. I could not do anyting without drawing attention from both gaurds. I'm a priest so not sure if my agro range is bigger than a mages. In the end my rogue hubby came in and held off the 2 gaurds while I got the quest done. He however had no trouble at all. Before he died helping me he killed one of the gaurds, so he rez'd on the platform below the top, stealthed up, waited for the hunter to go away, saped the remaining gaurd, done quest and jumped over the edge ........ I wish I was a rogue sometimes lol

My friend and me made it quite easily. We were lvl 23 and 25 rogues, we just sneaked passed all the guards (picking their pockets on the way of course) to the top, where we sapped the melee guard, killed the mage, then the melee and at last the one patrolling up and down the stairs. After putting the statue, we jumped off the tower and sneaked away.

Soloed as a lvl 33 hunter, without dying even. The quest had been grey in my log for some levels before that and I don't know why I didn't abandon it but I probably should have. Even as a grey it was a tough quest, and for all my trouble I got 170 XP I've gotten nearly 20x that amount for quests that weren't as difficult.

Tried this Q about 30 times with lvl 23 mage, boosted up, still no lucj even getting close. EXTREMELY heavily guarded and very quick respawntime. I say this mission is imbalanced.. maybe at lvl 40

There is a godload of orcs sitting in that tower, don't go alone unless you're 30+, it can get nasty real fast.

This quest is directly after you finish "A Watchful Eye" So it is not a stand-alone one as it appears to be now. Once completed you can return to Theocritus in the Tower of Azora to get the "Morganth" quest.

Over-leveled characters (by which I mean, able to solo one of the elites - I did it at 30) can complete this one easily by abusing the resurrection mechanic. Run straight in and die. It appears that there is no vertical distance check for ressurecting yourself, so go up to the top of the tower as a ghost. There should be two mobs up top, plus a wanderer who occasionally climbs the stairs. Watch their movements for a bit (in my case, one stood stationary and the other patroled, so I positioned myself on the opposite side from the one who was still), and res yourself when you're only going to aggro one of em. (It helps to have potions, mana gems/healthstones, or other such prepared in advance.) Worst case, you die killing the one, and then can make a second corpse run to deal with the second. Best case, you kill the first, rest up, kill the second (or sheep, let your pet tank it, etc), and then jump off.

Solo with a lvl22 rouge.
Sthealthed up to the top where I found 2 scouts. Sap one and gouge the other and u can manage if u are quick enough.
Just jump down or vanish afterwards
Got 1300 xp

Ok....I did this solo with a few characters - some definitively easier than with others.

Ok....for anyone doing this....get naked before doing this...dying is part of doing this solo, so no need to dmg your perfectly good armor.

Now...Anyone with a pet....get rid of pet, and bulldoze your way into the tower. Sacrifice one life to make this easier for the next. Take your spirit to the top of the tower and stand in the area with the container. There are three mobs, two are non-stationary mobs....one goes down the stairs, the other does a wedding march in a U shape pattern with the stairs at the top of the U. Wait for him to reach the stairs after having passed you from right to left - this will put him the furthest away from you as he is going to be. Now rez and get pet up - the stationary caster mob will aggro...sic pet on him first. Wait until pet has the aggro and then change targets so the pet gets the aggro of the wedding marching mob (I say this as he takes a step, stops, thinks about taking another step and then repeats this process). Now with both mobs aggroed on your pet (hopefully you did this with the other wondering mob already having gone down the stairs first) click on the glass and make a jump and a run for it. If you have feign death....get away from the tower and feign - otherwise keep running and you should be able to get out of aggro range before you die. If your a priest, cast levitate before jumping and head towards the water when you leap.

If your a non-pet carrying member, find a buddy to be your pet....both rezzing at the top, the "pet" first so as to gain aggro. If both of you need the quest...dont jump and just die again at the top, changing roles on the second go around...then jump and run once your both are done.

We did it the other day with a level 27 Warrior, level 24 Paladin, and a 21 Hunter.

The whole trick is pull them out one at a time. The outside has 4 (21-22 Elites, one walkin in and old, three at gate stationary), a wandering caster (which we ganked), two inside ground floor, then mebe three, each on a interval of the stairs and one on top floor.

go up the tower u will die go back all the way up position yourself where your your about to fall off wait to the walking guard is all the way on the other side do the jar complete quest there run off that side run into the ocean swim back to lakeshire...

Done it whit warrior lvl 23 solo.
Run higher u can , if u die , u ress ur self up on tower before box.Only fear 2 orcs here and done it:)

Go back to the lionhead and open it...

Did at lvl 23 hunter. died at bottom. res on last steps near top. freezing trap caught first while i set the pet on the other.

Lvl 25 rogue.

Managed to stealth all the way to the top of the tower. There was a slowly patrolling mob and one next to the empty jar. A third patrol climbed up and down the tower. I wait until the potrolling mob was _almost_ to the other side of the tower and the other patrol was on the way back down. Then I sapped the stationary patrol, completed the quest, then simply jumped down from the tower towards Althers Mill.

Didn't die, didn't kill anything.

Where do you turn in this quest? I have it complete but when I went back to Azora's Tower I couldn't turn it into the Mage. Any ideas?

Being a priest myself it took a few thoughts on how to get to where i needed.. i then set my shield up and said heck and ran to the top and died near it.. i then resed up near the target away from both guards reshield and waited for the bow user to walk away then completed the quest and jumped off

What a crappy quest...there is no real point to doing this considering you get, from the entire chain of quests, something like 200xp and no reward...
