Description

Agents of the Forsaken uncovered an Alliance plot to establish new bases here in the Eastern Plaguelands, at abandoned towers throughout the area.

It is imperative that we not allow them to establish a significant presence on our eastern borders, and so we must stave off this Alliance incursion. Our current plans are to drive them out of any towers they may have already seized, and occupy those that we have under our control against further attacks.

Some extra good information: all the towers have a special ability wich i'll write down here:

Crown Guard Tower: if it's captured, the specific faction that holds it will get a Graveyard with a spirit healer near it.

East Wall Tower: 5 guards will spawn, mount up and run to Northpass Tower IF Northpass Tower is controlled by the opposite faction, else, no guards will spawn.

Northpass Tower: if captured, the Shrine of Lordaeron will appear, when you click on it, you'll get 5% extra health in Stratholme, Eastern Plaguelands and Scholomance.

Plaguewood Tower: this tower has a flight master, wich can only be used by the faction that controls it. You can fly only to the other towers, not back. You can even fly to a tower that is controlled by the opposite faction. The 'flying mount' is a ghost and is the same speed as a normal flight path.

To capture a tower you have to wait inside it until it's captured. You will see a slider bar appear showing the progress toward capture.

A: You have to stand inside the tower, or very close to tower.
B: You must have PVP enabled if you're in non-pvp server.
C: There is an line that shows on right corner of your screen, it shows how much you need to capture tower. Once it is in your faction's colour, you have captured it.
D: Multiple people capture towers faster than just one.

If you capture a tower and an tower of the alliance is nearby, 5 guards will spawn, mount up with like 40% extra speed and will run to the next tower, follow them, they will guard you while you are capturing the tower. If you captured it, you will gain 18 honor + a grave stone will appear, click on it and you'll get Lordaeron's Blessing, wich will give 5% extra health in Eastern Plaguelands, Scholomance and Stratholme. You get 1% extra damage against undead for each tower, if the horde/alliance controls all 4 towers you/they will gain 5% extra damage, wich is a bonus of 1%. This effect is passive, and will just come back when u ressurect. The Blessing won't last through death. You gain 560xp for discovering the towers aswell.

If you are alone, and the tower bar is fully on the opposite side, you'll need 12 minutes to capture it; it takes only 4 minutes if the bar is at the grey border.

im not sure, but i think the tower has to be either contested or taken by the other side for you to complete it for the quest. It was barley on horde and me and the wife set there until it couldnt go any further up and we didnt get the completion. Just a heads up

You only get the amount of gold from the quest, no Honor or Argent Dawn Reputation. Only a waste of time imo...

This quest is easy, you just need a little patience.

First you need to find a tower that is occupied by an opposite faction. Or is contested (neutral), all towers are located on your map. If you see a tower that's already occupied by your faction then you can't do anything about it, wait until your faction loses the tower then capture it.

to capture it, you have to wait until the small bar reaches your faction color and you complete the quest. It takes a few minutes so be patient, once captured you should gain 19 honor and a light should shine on you. The more people you have trying to capture it that are on your faction the faster it goes but if there are enemy players trying to capture the flag at the same time it will go slower.

Blue - Alliance
Gray - Neutral
Red - Horde

HWL here I come...
Just find a movie to watch and a good anti afk add-on.

Is this still possible?&nbsp cause I know the patch 2.0 changes things a little.&nbsp like when I capture a tower its 18 honor instead of 189.

This quest was red to a level 55 almost 56 and i actually found it to be easy.
All you have to do is wait in the towers for awhile to take them,the only trouble is somethimes alliance come so i would recomend doing this on a weekday apart from friday there is usually no alliance there.

Well I captured the first quest just fine, but some stupid 60 gnome lock followed me for the rest, and right now I went to the furthest tower possible, and am hoping he cant get past the mobs fast enough so I can get the tower and run.

Does the alliance have a FP to plaguewood or something?

Turn the PvP on when coming to the tower and yo you need to wait about 2 minutes to Turn the tower to Grey (if it was Blue) and then wait till it turns Red.
There is a Graphic notification (you won't miss it)

On a PvE server, wandering around a tower does nothing, nothing to click on that I can tell. No enemies to fight. Is there some specific order or do you have to actually go PvP in the tower or what?

Tower apparently needs to be completely Alliance/Horde if you're Horde/Alliance, respectively or neutral in order to capture, which is retarded since I could only capture 3 of the 4 towers.
