I got overrun the first time I tried helping. So the second time through, I just feigned death and lied on the ground for 3 minutes. Quest complete.

You will get less aggro if you stay inside the inn, preferably halfway up the stairs.

Happy Questing!

Comment by 821061

Done this quest after dieing several times.
Just get ur fly mount get the quest and fly over the zeppelin tower.
you will get some spawns but easy to kill and you will have time to regain your HP.

Good Luck :)

Very frustrating quest :|

Can't use Victory Rush and they randomly spawn out of nowhere and take you off of your mount.

Comment by Vindictae

After dying repeatedly on my little priest, I managed to get the quest without drawing agro, flew over to the zeppelin tower (didn't land) and hovered on flying mount just inside the fence.
No agro, just waiting.

But you need to get the quest without getting hit on, because they will knock you off your mount.

Comment by cyrenia

If you can get the quest without getting aggro you should be able to fly high enough to avoid shooting range.

Comment by 666538

This is definitely a bad quest design. I tried sitting half way up the inn and using FD. I was able to wait out the timer but during that time 5 mobs spawned right on me and sat, so when it was time to turn in the quest I had virtually no way to escape except to get up, deterrence, rapid fire, then I can deterrence or FD again, but being in mind they keep coming after you.

Comment by Kayanne

Seems that Feign Death no longer works. I tried but the mobs just kept attacking me :(

Comment by 708567

This quest glitched out for me....I died at just 1 second before completion and now any time I get within 10 feet of the camp I get swarmed with around 10 mobs and have no choice but to run away. I cannot even accept the quest. This is on a frost mage, and even using ice block and invis I cannot drop aggro. Basically I won't be able to get any further at this point without help, which totally sucks. The design of this quest makes it almost impossible to solo if noone else is there.

Comment by smokes2345

at this point it has cost me more in armor repairs than the quest rewards, any strongly compelling reason to finish this quest?

Comment by LazyRiver

I'm hunter who hung around the quest giver the first couple of tries and eventually died both times.

So flew up and looked around for clusters of guards to help me in a third try.

There are two horde sentinels just outside the zepellin door. I hightailed it over there. Ran a little beyond them and set up in the corner. The guards caught most of the aggro, and it was easy that time around. My health never fell below 100k,

Comment by 816161

I had the same problem each time I would die on the spot, however I found a roof that you can accept the res. Got that, flew away, then at a distance watched for when there was only 1 creature near the quest giver accepted it and few right up, waited 3 minutes went back down cashed in the quest, then ran to my death but the quest was done. Level 85 Horde Lock.

What a pain this quest was! After waiting for the quest giver to be relatively alone, flew in grabbed the quest, and still got knocked off my mount! So made a dash for outside and followed the outside edge of the fence, and just kept running until the timer ran out. Worked a treat!

Comment by 440138

You probably aren't reading this if you haven't been dying over and over again trying to complete this quest, so do what you need to do to grab your body, get out of town and get on your flying mount.

Fly fairly far above the town and over the quest giver. When there's a lull, and you may have to wait a few minutes for things to die down, fly straight down, grab the quest and fly back up as fast as possible. You can wait out the timer way high up in the sky. I could barely make out the mobs and had no problem getting hit.

Comment by 774504

This quest must be bugged! I was flying well over head of the base and a mob spawned in the air underneath me. The mob fell down, but started climbing upwards against me.

I ended up cirkling around the whole base until the quest finished itself.

Seems like the mobs spawn close to you if you stand still for more than a couple of seconds.

Comment by kaitee

Okay so I completed this, and all the quests with Bwemba or whatever.... and the grom'gol fighting won't stop. I want to do the quest chain for the Lashtail Hatchling but the fighting is still going on after I've completed these quests. Any ideas?

Comment by 840473

if those trolls still are fighting at grom'gol, try logging out, and in again
it worked for me.

Comment by 842494

I just did this quest solo on an 85 Fire Mage. After dying a couple of times, I decided to check out the posts. Following some of the other suggestions, I watched the quest giver, waited until he had no NPCs attacking him. Dropped down on my mount, accepted the quest, flew straight up about mid-tree level. Never drew one drop of aggro. Hovered for 3 min, quest completed. :) Picked up the next quest in the chain and off I went. Hope this helps.

Comment by 841247

Feign death worked for me. I fought the mobs for a bit and then when my pet died (after about a minute) I feigned death until the time was up. Didn't try it at the very start of the battle but it certainly works when you have 2 minutes or so to go.

Comment by Chemizt

This quest is easy.

Just get the quest, fly up in the air so the mobs can't reach you, and wait for the progress bar to fill up.

You don't need to kill a single mob.

Just fly up and go have a smoke or something.

Comment by catscratcher

By far the worst quest in wow to date.

Comment by 866051

Get on your mount....start quest....fly straight up and browse the internet for 3 minutes, done.

Comment by aratinastorm

I've done this on my mage and my paladin. I had no problem as a prot pally, but died once on my mage. I consecutively popped Mirror Image, then Ice Block, then Invisibility and let them go the entire length of the time before I popped the next one. By the time they're done I just ran out of the way until the 3 mins were up.

Comment by Drudatz

another Bugalysm *!@#up with way to bad tuned mobs
another reason why people hate bugalysm that much
as this quest as clothie is only possible with luck if you stay flying high enough

Comment by 884333

i like to think of myself as a ok healer; but in this quest i notied my mana is what was killing me. the most i would got through the first 1.5min fine but after that i would lose my mana like crazy. it cost me over 20k mana for 1 flashheal and almost 10k for prayer of mending. :( but i made it through the 3min die only 5 times and i fought my way through it didnt run to avoid arggo or anything. wish i did tho repair bill would have been cheaper lol.

Comment by PurpleWedgie

Wow. Wish I had read this before dying several times. Top of the tower works like a charm. Single spawns spaced out enough to heal between fights.

Comment by pendergast4

The Ogrimmar blimp still comes, but the Undercity one doesn't. Is it only while this quest event is going or is that blimp gone now?

Comment by 983871

I kept getting killed over and over until all of my armor had gone red. I tried flying above and kept getting shot down. When I flew too far away I failed the quest. I ended up taking someone's suggestion to keep running around the city. I ended up accepting the quest, getting on my flying mount, flying up and outside the borders of the city, and then running (not flying) around and around the city until time was up. Good luck!

Comment by Hairband

I think I was able to sit and eat for 5 seconds between mobs spawning on my head. Thank god the guild pays for repairs. It was just stupid. The only way to get this done is to cheat or be geared for raids. Insanely bad. Also you have to finish the quest chain if you want the area zoned in again.

Comment by 325030

What to do if you abandon quest after char-death, as in the questlog it reads: Failed ?

I can't seem to pick it up again?

Comment by Zephinism

Since 5.0.3 this quest is really simple as the NPCs helping you are level 90, and the trolls are level 83. You can just stand there and everything will die.

Comment by 378930

I have to say, this is so much easier now with Pandaria out. I had to finish this on an alt (in order to pet battle in STV) as I hadn't done so prior to Panda-land release. Since the NPC's are level 90 now, the attacking mobs don't have much of a chance. Previously, I died during the onslaught, since at the time it was a challenge. This time through, I just laid back and let the defending troops take care of the attacking trolls.

Comment by Xistt

Apparently, you do not need to do anything as of 6.0.2. Level ninety guards made short work of the invaders, but level one hundred guards one-shot them. I had difficulty tagging them before they were killed, but I guess that was unnecessary.
