You get no credit if its neutral or owned by your faction, wait till the oposing faction takes it then take it yourself, only way it gave me any credit for the quest objectives.

apparently, you only get credit if you are in the tower at the moment it moves to blue.&nbsp I walked into one tower when it was neutral RIGHT as it shifted into blue (some other guy had been sitting there a while) and got the quest credit, and then went to another one and killed the two horde that were sitting there over and over until the tower moved to neutral and then alliance, but I guess since I was outside of the tower when it shifted to blue, I got the notification at the bottom of the window that it had been captured by the alliance and NO quest credit.&nbsp Either it's bugged, or you have to be inside at the exact moment.

If the tower is already part of your faction you need only go inside and /pvp yourself.&nbsp A bar will show up, wait the alotted time and the tower is yours.

just to get stuff straight here:, Go in, sit in the tower (if alone) for 6 minutes and that's it... If not attacked by horde i mean.

Horrible. There were no Horde around at all, and all 4 towers were already controlled by the Alliance. I had come back a few hours later and do it.

I don't know if there's a timed reset, as I was out of the zone for the whole time, but if there isn't, it should be added.

Is it possible to "capture" a tower, which is already captured by your own faction? Do towers automatically turn neutral after a while? Or is there another way to finish the quest when all towers are already captured?

You most definitely CAN capture a neutral tower. I went in, sat down and waited til the bar moved into the blue area and I got the whoopdeedo of success.&nbsp Did this with two towers.&nbsp However, the other two were already alliance controlled.&nbsp Sat in one for over 15 mins until the bars moved all the way to the end and nothing.&nbsp

I am not sure, but I think what you have to do is wait OUTSIDE the area of influence for the bar to migrate back into the grey, then go back in and it should work.&nbsp But I ran out of patience.

...

took the three first towers at plaguewood the griffin master was there, i went in with pvp on, but no bar popped up. But after a while (probably the usual time) it turned grey, and viola quest comleted

It's worth noting that the Plaguewood Tower doesn't seem to have a cap meter attached to it. It seems to capture within the same amount of time though...

I went /pvp and stayed in tower for few mins and then i saw these lordaeron soldiers at the front... does this mean I've almost captured the tower?

Probably easy enough after server reset .. if you can be first one there.

How does one actually capture these towers? just by sitting inside or ... ?

Just solo'd this as a lvl57 Warlock. Captured all four towers which give a total of 756 bonus honor and 6600xp. There is no 'extra' honor when you capture and have all four towers yourself. Took me about 35 mins to get all. Started at Eastern tower and worked my way up, then took the ghost gryphon back to eastern and went to crown.

ps. yes, this on a pvp server (Laughing Skull)

The tower has to be controlled by the opposing faction. If the tower is grey it won't count for the quest.

just another trick from Blizzard to take your money by making you wait for some stupid towers.

Kind of annoying, when the alliance always controls these towers and so it's impossible for me to switch it from horde to alli.

It seems whenever I'm in EPL (which is often since I'm trying to empty out my log of the quests from there) the towers area all already claimed by my side (Alliance). Is there an ammount of time that it resets so that I can go claim it or do I have to wait around until a Horde person decides to make a go at one of them?

i tested this in a pve server so in a pvp server there is no need to open your pvp.
first u enter a controlled tower (get in the tower and stay somewhere inside :D)
then open your pvp flag by /pvp
type /join localdefense (if u dont have that channel). This will bring up tower count, battle map and a progress bar of your tower which u are waiting inside.
This will help u when capturing a tower.
For example if ur alliance: u start to wait,and wait, wait, wait and wait more to turn horde controlled to challenged (like the GYs of AV but here u just only wait.) then u wait wait wait and wait wait wait to change it alliance. When u change it to alliance then u gain 189 honor. and if ur on quest it says hurra! u ve captured the xxx tower (xxx u name it :P)
well if u insist waiting u gain honor per some time but sorry i didnt have that patience. whenever u captured one u can move to the next. its auto progressing.
when u complete q at 60 it only gives money. no rep no bonus honor. nothing except 4g.
the plaguewood tower has spectral griff u can use it to reach other towers quickly. northpoint tower has a 30 min % 5 sta buff.
1,2,3 towers in possession gives u %1,2,3 melee + ranged + spell dmg respectively
when u have 4 towers its % 5

well hope this helps a bit. have fun with capturing and blessed patience :P

edit: i forgot to mention. there was no followup for the q at the time of this post.

So..anyone able to drop a hint?

Do you get any more quests or anything cept the 4G?

If you are not on a PvP server, you will need to turn your PvP on to capture the tower. A progress meter will be displayed on the right side of your screen. I would suggest staying until the bar is all the way on your side, this will make the opposing side take longer to take control of the tower.

56.2, 24.8 - Northpass Tower
67.0, 48.5 - Eastwall Tower
65.8, 59.7 - Crown Guard Tower
21.9, 31.6 - Plaguewood Tower

Have fun xD

10 - 15 minutes? No, it does not take that long at all. 6mins tops. Easy quest as long as there's no pvp'ing going on. Often 60+ Horde seen around the towers.
