Field Duty

Report for duty at the Ironforge Brigade post near Hive'Zora. Prepare your Unsigned Field Duty Papers and obtain Signed Field Duty Papers from Captain Blackanvil and return to Windcaller Kaldon at Cenarion Hold in Silithus.

Note: Healing or casting beneficial spells on a member of the Ironforge Brigade will flag you for PvP.
Signed Field Duty Papers
Provided Item:
Unsigned Field Duty Papers

Description

Greetings, <name>. Before I assign you to more involved tasks in the war, you'll need to do your share of field duty.

You will find Captain Blackanvil's Ironforge Brigade outside Hive'Zora.

Report to him or his lieutenant, Janela Stouthammer and come back to me. I shall have a more advanced assignment for you ready.

Oh and please do us a favor and stay away from the Orgrimmar Legion. We've been forced to keep the two forces well apart from one another due to mutual animosity.

The wasp has around 100k hp now - the NPCs can handle it by themselves. Blackanvil barely goes below 50% for the whole event. Kind of depressing really - you actually had to help before.

Funnily enough, the riflemen are also bugged at the moment, and won't fire. I guess they caught on to the nerf too, and are just kicking back and chilling.

A big level 60 elite wasp spawns and approaches the camp. The captain and npc's will basically take the thing down. Just a few heals needed for the captain. The wasp had something like 220,000 hit points. You can almost just watch this event happen. I tried helping to kill the wasp and pulled agro, I do not recommend getting agro on this wasp heh. After the quest is done talk to the captain soon or it resets, he disappears, and you have to do it over again.

Since patch 2.3 this quest is more easier to solo. The wasp is still an elite bug, but it's easier to take down. About 2 times as fast as before.
This quest is repeatable, so you should be able to get all 3 rewards, and therefor all the quests related to them.

Since patch 1.11, Janela will keep Captain Blackanvil alive with heals during the encounter with the abomination, so you don't need a healer to complete this anymore, just let them kill it. :)

I tried this little trick today..

1. Set your HS to Cenarion Hold
2. Take off with your healer and kill the Bug
3. HS to Cenarion Hold and turn in the quest
4. Take the quest again and return to krug on your mount (I had Epic mount so I dunno if it works for regular mount)
5. Have him sign them again
6. Return to CH and deliver the quest for your 2nd assignment...

this way you only need to kill the bug once for 2 quests :P

Note: you can't just run back to CH as the offer to have the papers signed will not be available then.

After reading that the Captain die, I didn't heal him. After the battle, I realized that the Blue "?" was not there. In reality the Captain can die.

Get the unsigned field duty papers, go to the camp (around 32,53) talk to janella, the battle will start, a 60 elite huge wasp thing will appear. The captain will appear and start fighting (he has a glowing sword). You must keep him alive, if you dont have a healer then he will die, other than that the NPC's can complete the fight by themselves. Once you kill the 60elite everyone will go back to the camp, Captain will be there with blue question mark over his head. Talk to him and get papers signed, return to quest giver to get the new quest.

Hint: get papers signed, run back to quest giver to get Field Duty quest again, run back to Captain and you can get it signed again. so 2 Assignments (combat, tactical, logistics) with 1 kill of the boss. Must have epic mount or you wont make it (Captain will dissapear)

also, watch for the huge wasp's fears, as there are mobs close by that will aggro

hope this helps
