Dukes must be killed in a 5man group in order to get quest credit- of course.

If i am right,in order to summon them,you need the cultist set which drops off of members of twilight hammer and you summon them from the windstones while wearing the 3 items from that set.

Are there any pre-conditions for this quest? I've done all the tactical quests I need to do except this one. Do you just keep getting orders signed until this quest drops?

Be careful when fighting them as they have a very short leash and will despawn midfight. I was soloing this quest on my 67 ice mage (they're all immune to slowing ice effects, by the way) and while fighting my last one, the Duke of Zephyrs, I blinked to get out of one of his weather clouds and he vanished. When I mentioned this in guild chat, a warlock who had try to solo with fear kiting mentioned the same problem.

Now I don't have a Signet of Beckoning for Thunder, so I have to burn a few more sets of mats and gear til I get Zephyrs again.

From the patch notes:

Drop frequencies for Tactical Task Briefing V and Logistics Task Briefing XI have been improved considerably. These were needed for the Mark of Cenarius and the Mark of Remulos, their drop rates are now comparable to the other task briefings.

Can anyone confirm if this drops from doing field duty or if it only drops from a followup tactical quest?

I just kept doing quests till I got this one.
Ehm, my rep was in honored (I doubt it has any impact tho)

Like most quests does the duke slaying part have to be done 5man? I hope not, but i suspect so. Has anyone successfuly completed it a raid?

He said it is a completely random drop.&nbsp He would not say off a tactical or follow up tactical.&nbsp He did confirm that it doesn't have anything to do with this quest.

My husband just got this quest from turning in his very first tactical assignment. so, that was his first followup assignment.&nbsp Go figure, people have posted 66 tacticals before recieving this.

My question does this come from the greater windstone, regular windstone or what? Besides the clothing garb is anything else required to be equipped before summoning?

I just got "A Humble Offering" Killing the Lord of the abyssal council. Not a word posted on this one.

IT is telling me I do not meet the requirements. I do not have it in my quest log. I got a GM to assist me and he said there are pre-reqs.. what are they?

I highly recommend picking up a Scepter of Beckoning: <ElementalType> for each type of duke before doing this quest. I killed 21 dukes before I got the Duke of Thunder (my 4th type of duke). Having the scepters of beckoning forces the duke of the corresponding elemental type to be summoned.

I could have saved a lot of time and gold (buying twilight cultist gear) buy getting the scepters in advance.
