Marauders of Darrowshire

Bring 5 Resonating Skulls and the Mystic Crystal to Carlin Redpath in Eastern Plaguelands.

5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5	Resonating Skull (5)
	Mystic Crystal

Provided Item:

	Mystic Crystal

Description

Chromie said the relics you gathered are reagents to a powerful spell, and one more is required: skulls from the scourge who took part in the battle of Darrowshire.

Take this crystal and hunt scourge champions for their skulls. The crystal is enchanted; if a champion took part in the battle, then when you pass the crystal over its skull it will resonate. Bring me those resonating skulls.

Go, <name>. You'll find scourge champions in the Noxious Glade to the north and the Fungal Vale to the west.

Head due north from flight path in EPL, Light Hope Chapel.

Create a macro: /target Scourge Champion, and go for the highlighted mob.

Kill the Scourge Champion, loot the Fetid Skull and press the Mystic Crystal, provided by questgiver.

The Fetid Skull then turns in to either Bone Dust (trash) or Resonating Skull. Do this till you have them all.

For every 5 Fetid Skulls I got 3 Resonating Skull and 2 Bone Dust...

The path north leading up to The Noxius Glade is the place most likely to encounter Scourge Champions..

As mentioned above Scourge Champion, Death Singer, Dread Weave and Diseased Flayer all seem to be on the same spawn table. So kill them all and wait for respawn.

Stay away from Diseased Flayers if your melee. Naste 10min curse of -10% to hit.. yuk!...

A few things:

This quest won't be available until you've done both (Quest #5168) and (Quest #5181).
You may have heard that you can use the crystal on the same skull multiple times to get all your quest items, but this is no longer correct. The crystal can only be used once on each (Item #13157), and it will transform it either into useless Bone Dust or a Resonating Skull. More often than not you'll get Bone Dust, so be prepared to collect a lot of skulls.
The (Item #13159) really is useless. It may have white text, but it serves absolutely no purpose. You can't even sell it to a vendor, so just destroy it.
There are a number of skeleton warrior-type mobs in the Eastern Plaguelands, but only a (NPC #8529) will drop Fetid Skulls. If you're on the quest, they always drop them.

When I did this, I barely found any scourge champions at either area. This is because they share spawn points with the singers and stitches/golems. If you're not finding any, just kill the undead you see in those areas and wait for respawns.

Solo'd with 58 Warrior.

For the people who want to know 'where are these at' , the Champions are in Noxious & Fungal Glade like the quest says.&nbsp They are scarce so you'll have to wait on respawn once or twice.&nbsp Just GO THERE!&nbsp You can't miss them.

The fetid skulls drop almost every time, use the mystic crystal that Carlin Redpath gave you to covert to resonating skulls.&nbsp They turn to dust about 50% of the time.

Sometimes I think people do more reading on here than just reading the quest they are handed in the game.

The Scourage Champions can be found in the area directly north of Light Hope's Chapel. There's about a 50% chance to turn one of the skulls they drop into a Resonating Skull that you need.

Note that if your inventory is full, and you use the Mystic Crystal on a Fetid Skull, you won't receive anything.

The full quest chain for The Battle of Darrowshire:

Villains and Heroes do both need to be completed in order to get Marauders. However, Defenders of Darrowshire (the Uncle Carlin chain) does not need to be completed in order to get to The Battle of Darrowshire.

Alrighty...my experience on the Quest-

Im a 57 Shadow Priest (Alliance), and i found this very easy to solo. As soon as I hit the mill (Located at 77,52, Just northish from the Lights Hope Chapel), there was only one Champion. I killed him, he dropped his skull, (I didnt use the Mystic Crystal on it yet, thought I would wait for more).

I cleared the mobs, which have a decent spawn time, only around 3-5 minutes. About 2 times out of 5, a Champion spawned. Everyone dropped a skull for me, after i had 4 I started to us the Crysal. Bam- 4 resonating skulls.

I killed around 4 more after that, all dropped skulls, they turned into Dust this time, but the 5'th one gave me my last skull.

To clear up the questions about the Bone Dust, it is probably white because it's considered a crafted item. There are no known uses for it, except to put it up in the AH and hope someone's stupid enough to bid on it.

6600 EXP at lvl 57, 100 Argent Dawn Rep.

soloed in about 30 Mins as 58 Priest with no problems at all, spawns are a distant apart, have to wait about 10 mins for respawn if no champions left. (76 53)

killed 10 ,skull off every kill. 5 turned to bone dust, 5 resonating skull.

By eitsrik on 06/28/2008 (Patch 2.4.2)

After 9 Fetid Skulls finally got 1 resonating skull. 100% drop rate from champions, just seems the chance of getting a resonating skull is awful. Alot of Chapions around 76,50.

Also had 6 Retid skulls at one point and still only got bone dust. So yes the chance is completely at random.

How do you get that quest? Carlin has no quests for me.

By Anonymous on 01/18/2006 (Patch 1.9.2)

a simple trick is make a macro or just type in /target scourge champion if there is one nearby it will target that mob and you can then just look around for the red mob heading.

I found good conditions just north of LHC, once I realized that everything you kill can come back as a champion. So if you clear-cut from the mill up the hill you should have lots of champions to choose from when you go back to the mill. The diseased ghouls will give you a disease of course. Unfortunately this leads to a quest that takes a raid to complete but...

While all the champions I killed dropped a skull, it was dead even for resonating skulls. Five dusted, the tenth gave me my fifth resonating.

If your inventory is full after you pick up a Fetid Skull, DO NOT
USE THE MYSTIC CRYSTAL or you'll lose the Fetid Skull!

This one drove me nuts.&nbsp I had 2 Fetid Skulls just disappear on me when I tried to convert them to a Resonating Skull.

I already had 2 Resonating Skulls in a stack in my inventory and when my 3rd Fetid Skull dropped, I had only 1 free slot in my inventory which was filled by the Fetid Skull.&nbsp &nbsp When I used the Mystic Crystal, instead of adding it to my stack of Resonating Skulls, or even simply replacing the Fetid Skull in my inventory with the converted Resonating Skull (like every other similar circumstance in the game), I got an "Inventory is Full" warning and the new Fetid/Resonating skull vanished without a trace!

I couldn't believe it until it happened the second time.
Thanks Bliz.

The champion spawn rate isn't too bad as of today, but the entire area is swarming with both Alliance and Horde killing everything in sight as if there was no tomorrow. It seemed like every spawn point had about a 25% chance of being a champion. Every champion dropped a skull, from which I gathered 9 bone dust with my 5 resonating skulls. I think the quest wouldn't be too bad as long as you went to Browman's Mill during a less populated time.

Like the other other guy said, just kill some undead mobs around Browmans Mill and wait for Champion spawn.
I did this in 40min.

Does the bone dust actually have some purpose in this quest or is it just junk that you can't even sell to a vendor?

I have noticed that since I started this quest, I have yet to get a single Invader's Scourgestone to drop. Is this a quest bug, or is this just a coincidence?

I think there was one thing that actually took longer than this quest to accomplish.

That was logging in on a monday night.

21 champions
39 invader's stones

Like the other guy said, this quest is crap. The champs spawn randomly so you have to keep killing all the spawns. And then the rate which you actually get the good skulls is like 35%. Very Annoying!

yeah kill em since they share pops on the incline across from the barn at browman mill. i was so sure this quest was broken, i literally got 10 pieces of bone dust before i got a single resonating skull. then i got 2 in a row, and then one a few kills later. but with the wait time between champ pops and the <20% turn over rate, this quest has taken me a considerable amount of time. im now at 13 bone dusts and 3 resonating skulls and currently farming for the next champ pop.
