The mound is at 56, 63.

Greetings my children,

I just solo'd this quest with my un-twinked (all greens) 27 Priest. This does NOT mean this quest is easy, as I BARELY pulled it off. Here's the deal.

The chords above are right on. (56,63) It's in the Greenpaw village, NE of Mystral Lake, just south of the main road.

There is no "mob" to find, nor anything to click on. When you get to the chords, you'll find a small hill surrounded by mobs.

1. You'll have to kill the mobs first. If you have trouble with these mobs, you'll have trouble with the quest.

2. After all the mobs are dead, stand on that little hill, and right click the banner in your inventory. Make sure you've taken any buff pots, have applied spell buffs, eaten, drank, etc. BEFORE you drop the banner. (do this quickly after killing the mobs, as you don't want respawn during the fight)

3. The SECOND you drop the banner, two mobs will show up. As soon as you kill one, another will come to fill his spot. You will always have two mobs on you.

4. There will be around 8 lvl 24 mobs that will keep coming in that fashion.

5. The last mob to come will be the boss. lvl 26.

6. AFTER THE BOSS DIES, LOOK FOR THE GLOWING GREEN BASKET NEXT TO HIS CORPSE. Right click on it and you'll get your quest item. If you forget to get it, you'll have to do it all over again.

A few posts up, someone noted walking up to the mound and finding the basket without running the quest.. this is because the last person to do it didn't know to loot the basket! :)

As for your level, race, class, etc. Some classes are spec'd to solo, some not. I did this solo with a priest at 27, but it was CLOSE.

As I was fighting the last boss, a dang tree guardian (2 story tall freak of nature) stumbled in and started attacking me. I had to keep dots on the boss, and run around until the giant tree left me alone. Was rather fun, but had I agro'd a single other mob, I wouldn't of been able to do it.

As for other priest who want to solo, you had better have spirit tap (the talent) at 100% or don't bother. That's the only way I survived. Each time I killed a mob, ST gave me back enough mana to reshield and keep the heals coming while I used my wand and SW:P to kill the mobs.

When I was down to the last 24 and the 26 boss, I had to use a fear and bandage, but that worked well. It's a challenge. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The light guide you my children...

Actually, Murgut spawns on a timer after you plant the banner. There will *always* be two furbolgs to fight.

My advice, don't kill any of them. If you can cc, do so. if not just bring them to near death and save your mana and use your cooldowns judiciously until Murgut spawns.

Then kill the two quickly, kill Murgut - profits!

Also confirming this; any class with a reappliable CC can solo this, and I'm sure others can too. I just did it solo as a 25 mage (the "normal" way, with a 28 rogue, ended in disaster after I ran OOM and his health ran low). I figure some simple strategies would be a nice addition.
I also noticed while doing this quest that, at the path just out of the area a few paces north there is a log, and if something goes wrong, you can go up the path and jump onto the log pretty easily - this will evade both mobs, and unless you can get back quickly and get them off the banner, it will die... but you won't!

When Murgut spawned, unsure that it was a consequence of the mob being at full health, but one of the two mobs I was fighting despawned.

Mage - this one's obvious, and it helps (a lot) if you're frost. The two mobs will spawn, sheep one of them, and kite the other. Rank 1 frostbolt is your friend; it slows, and can proc frostbite. Use debuff timers if you have them so you don't waste mana. I recommend bringing at least a lesser mana pot.

Warlock- this one's obvious too, just abuse fears. Make sure the local area is completely cleared or you're in for some bad news; keep out a voidwalker just in case, for the extra tank and for a sacrifice. I recommend fear juggling using rank 1; try not to spam it too much or you will run oom, but don't aggro extra adds! Alternatively, you can use your VW to tank both of them and just spam health funnel and bandage.

Rogue - trickier, but doable. I couldn't do this until 28 on my rogue, which lessened the mobs beating up on me (and also saved me on the boss.) Don't pop evasion until the boss spawns; if you can sap at the beginning, do it, and crippling kite the other. If you want, put crippling on both hands, but at least have it on your main hand. My suggestion would be to abuse the log at the top of the path; kite one down, evade it back, run to the totem and restart. You may need to blow sprint on that, but that's fine. With gouge and crippling, you shouldn't need it to escape.

Warrior - not sure if this is doable; bring a health pot. Try to keep hamstring up on both mobs, and when your health dips below half, use your fear and bandage. Worst case, you can run to the log, evade them, chase them back, charge one of them, then tab -> swing or thunderclap to get them off of the totem. It's not a problem here if you kill them as a side effect of the kiting, just don't drop too much health.

Hunter - incredibly simple, really. Try to keep one spam trapped, and have your pet on the other. Make sure that your pet has all of its non-growl spells OFF autocast, to keep the mobs alive. It would also help to have your pet have aggro on the trapped mob, so between casts you won't get hit, and you can continue spamming mend pet. Then you can distracting shot -> trap the add, and repeat.

Unfortunately, I'm in doubt that a priest, paladin, or shaman could solo this. A druid might be able to, but it would be very hard, and you wouldn't need a guide if you can pull that off.

To acquire this quest, you first have to complete Between a Rock and a Thistlefur (http://classicdb.ch/?quest=216) which is given to you by the same NPC.

As you go down the path to Greenpaw Village, you'll see a small hill a little to your left with 2 small, open-air, shelters and 2 LARGE Totems around it.&nbsp This is the Totem Mound. There should be many Fouwlwealds around it.&nbsp kill them first, plant the flag on the mound and get ready!&nbsp I just solo'd it with my 30 Shaman.&nbsp The king got me as I was healing but I high-tailed it back there and he was still waiting for his beating, which I gave him and completed the quest.

I recently 2-manned this quest as a level 27 fury warrior working with a 28 feral druid. The druid started off in cat form, but found it was necessary to switch to bear form early on in the fight due to the amount of damage being dealt to us. He did need to switch to caster form to lay down a few heals during the battle, though if you have a group of 3 or more, healing probably isn't necessary for this fight.

After you place the banner, two Enraged Foulwealds (https://classicdb.ch/?npc=12921) will spawn. If you're on the "totem mound" where you placed the banner they'll attack you, otherwise they'll attack the banner and eventually destroy it if not attacked. After a while (or once the first are dead, I'm not sure), another two will come. Expect a lot of angry bears and no chance to rest!

Eventually Chief Murgut (https://classicdb.ch/?npc=12918) will spawn who, if you've survived so far, shouldn't give you any problems. Have fun :)

I saw several posts with statements such as "me and a friend *soloed* this".&nbsp solo from the websters dictionary means:

adj. -Made or done by a single individual
adv. -Unaccompanied alone
