Mercenaries

Magistrate Bluntnose of Thelsamar has hired you to kill 4 Mo'grosh Ogres, 4 Mo'grosh Brutes and 4 Mo'grosh Enforcers.
  •  
Mo'grosh Ogre slain (4)
  •  
Mo'grosh Brute slain (4)
  •  
Mo'grosh Enforcer slain (4)

Description

Two months just to hear from Ironforge that we'll be spared a handful of soldiers for our own defense, and another two months until they arrive! Bad enough that our town goes unprotected, but the excavation and the dam--the dam!--are open to attacks as well.

I've no choice then, it seems. I'll need hired arms.

How about you? You seem a likely sort, <class>. A group of ogres has set up camp on the northeast of the lake. Perhaps you will be the one to remove the threat to our town?

I didnt read too deeply. but I didnt see any exact cords so here they are.

( 62 , 22 )&nbsp From there go east

you will find all but the brutes outside.

Sadly the brutes are in the caves.

I would say you need at least 2 ppl here and even then you can still get cought off guard...HAVE FUN

I was just out exploring Loch Modan because I'd never had the chance to when I found the Mo'grosh Stronghold. So okay, let's have fun. Everything else in the area was 1 or 2 shot with my 38 mage, so a piece of cake right? Not exactly. The elite ogres went down like the mid 30's turtles I'd been grinding in Dushwallow Marsh, about 4 hits of 400dmg to kill each one, so their hp is in the 1500's range. If you take this at lvl 19 like this says, you'd better be able to last forever in a fight, bring a big party, or some high lvl's with you. There were two low 20's hunters out there doing this so I partied up with them, one of them shared this quest with me and things went very easy. I had a lot of fun nuking the elites, but didn't get much else out of it, just 20S. :P

I haven't finished this quest yet. I killed 3 Ogres soloing with my Lv 17 Hunter and Lv 16 pet but had to revive my pet after each encounter. I figured it wasn't worth the trouble just yet. I found it interesting that I could survive against elites 2 levels higher that myself using my hunter twink while I wouldn't have stood a chance of killing an elite at the same level as myself and would consider myself lucky to survive an encounter with an elite two levels below me using my Rogue primary. So I assume after another level I should be able to take down individual mobs without even my pet dying. Inside the caves may be another matter. I suppose I'll find out soon enough..

The Ogres and Shaman's are easy. Those live outside the caves. Grab a full party and knock those out. Once everyone has those, its time to go for the brutes.

The Brutes only live inside the caves, though each cave has one Brute that spawns at the doorway of it so if your real patient (and chickenhearted) you can sit outside and wait. These bad boy's hit hard. I saw one drop a lvl 16 priest in 3 hits.

The best thing to fight your way to a safe corner of one of the caves and just try and hold it. Fight the mystics when they pop too, cause they will certainly add. If you have a mage in the party, make sure he's on add control and remeber that he can only sheep one at a time. If you get swarmed, run. The cave is pretty tight quarters and pretty tightly packed, so 9 times out of 10 your going to get aggro soon as you rez. Better to run, then fight your way back in again.

If your smart, go ahead and do the "A dark threat Looms" quests up till he asks you for the Crystal, and do that at the same time as this one. The Crystal drops off of Mystics and your probably going to kill a couple while your trying for brutes.

Level 18-20ish (might go higher or lower) elites.&nbsp A group of teenish types can take them, barely.&nbsp (Dwarf hunter, 2 gnome rogues, human warrior, and me, the Dwarven priestess ))

The Brutes in that cave (74,20) are surrounded by Mystics. You can get them one by one if you are very careful, but there are about 3 mystics for each brute. slow slog solo as lvl 23 warrior. I'd rather have help.

Level 17 Paladin + level 18 Hunter (level 17 cat) took them out without any problem. Good drops and 140-ish experience each for a party of 2.

lvl 17 hunter & lvl 17 warlock (both with lvl 17 pets).... managed fine. as long as the pets took a beating! and only fought one at a time.

dont go into the caves without some higher level muscle as it's suicide!

I did solo this quest with my level 19 NE Hunter.
There are 18-19 elites.

Mo'grosh Ogre, Mo'grosh Brute and Mo'grosh Enforcer can be found in Mo'grosh Stronghold (around cords 69,23 in Loch Modan).
I found Mo'grosh Brute in the cave, cords 74,20 (http://classicdb.ch/?maps=38:748200).

Good Luck!

Soloed as a 16 hunter (dinged on the way in). I got myself killed on the way out because I went back to check Chok'sul's level... Free trip back to town for the turn in.

You can solo pull your way in, just keep an eye out for pats.

Did this incredibly easy as a 24 HEALadin could see a 21-22 soloing it w/o much trouble. the ones inside the caves the brutes pull together only hard part but be smart and burn a cooldown or something.

I did this quest in a group of 4 but no healer or mage. That is tough! I strongly recommend you get a mage or healer before trying this one. The beasties are tough!

I spoke to Magistrate Bluntnose of Thelsamar, but he would not give me the quest. Anybody know why not? I have a dark threat looms quest, but the magistrate will not give me the quest. THanks.

You could also do the wanted quest at the same time if you have a strong party. These are tough Ogres. I managed to solo one as a lvl 17 Hunter. I had to keep healing my pet and once it died I needed to use a health potion. DON'T GO ALONE! I'm lucky to not have died.

I have done it with 3 people, 28 mage 19 druid en myself a 19 pally. We killed all ogres, shamans and enforcers outside and went in the largest cave. The mage left the party and the druid en me were together killing 1 at time. That was the hardest because you must pull very careful, if we don't we died. The brutes are the hardest because there are always some mystic near them. But we killed the last one and we died(with help of 32 warrior) and i was happy what the reard was, 1800 xp on lvl 19 and 20 silver(got lots of greens from them)
Its worth the time i think

It is possible to take a couple of the outside ones out on a lvl 18 mage, however expect a long fight! I will come back when i am better equipt.

I solo'd this as a lvl 20 Pally. Died once.

It's easy enough if you take it slow and steady, only fight one ogre at once, and keep healing.

No sweat.

You can find plenty of Enforcers and Ogres in the Mo Grosh Stronghold in the NE corner of the Loch. They are all elites, but are spaced enough that you can deal with them one on one.
