For some reason 9 stupid basilisks spawned and instawiped everybody 

As one would expect, the beastmaster had the key

Following the chokidai took group to wrong spot. We then went to start of quest area, cleared the trainer and chokidai even though the pet was all the way across the zone, and the task updated.

A few things we noticed about doing this mission... If you have a pet or a familiar and you request this group quest, it is likely to bug. There is something with the pup being your pet in addition to having another pet that bugs it out.

OH! BTW if you take too long to kill the lavalisks, you lose the mission. I was in the MIDDLE of killing the 3rd lavalisk, full-on with tank and wizzies going full tilt, and it was down to 35% and simply disappeared ! What a surprise.

Man, I wish the devs would fix this mission. If 3 wizzies casting full tilt and warrior w cleric cannot kill the damn things then it is BROKEN IMHO.

So close...

VERY BUGGY and UNCLEAR. I've tried 1/day for a week and SOMETHING always bugs out. Had it to where 2 lavalisks were killed and the last one was mezzed while my wizzies medded. As I got ready to kill it, it poofed and was gone. Never returned.

A guildie pointed out that you have to kill 2 mobs to get lavalisks to spawn (therefore using up mana). (My group has 3 wizzies, chanter, cleric and tank.)

Best to med to full mana before killing the 2 sarnaks, usually handy at entrance to lower part of Gorowyn, BUT be ready to hit burns for lavalisks.

Still just buggy as all getout. The egg step is where it seems to get stuck all the time.

Very buggy task.

Using mage pet tank.

1 time mage died, and each time he got rez, we got 3 more adds, we were up to 9 adds

another time after doing hail, chokidal wouldn't go up the ramp, tried zoning, hailing, changing escorts. Chokidal would move to new escort, but never got update for 4th step.


Need to clear the ramp between the 1st and second set of buildings. And need to kill the Kor'Zok in 2nd set of buildings doorway

Step 1, got key from the roaming beastmaster on ramp between 1st and 2nd set of buildings.

Step 4, hailing for me bugged task.

Step 6, kill the chokidai, being escorted by the beastmaster to get the egg.

Step 7, as mage with pet tank, I died when the 3 adds spawning, and then each rez I took got 3 more adds.

Really annoying quest and it took about 4 times and a bunch of wipes to get it right. Here are a few things that we found that were important.

1) Don't invis until you get to the part where he "seeks what he desires" . When you lead him out the first time you can run to near zone in without using invis.

2) When he wanders off at the point where he "seeks what he desires" he will stop ( but wanderer around locally) and you must kill that mob. This happened with chokidai or one of the lava creatures

3) Once you get the egg, if ANYONE in your party gets near the spawn point for the "ravenous basilisks" then they will spawn. These mobs hit hard so be ready.

4) Others were doing this quest at the same time as us and we think we saw 6 total spawn, so be careful.

If anyone in the group moves to the ravenous basilisks spot, they spawn so may want to keep the group together at this step.

update: i killed the stalker where the chok ran to. after it, the chok went to the path again and i got update.

this task is unbelievable bugged and crappy designed. Pathing sucks, task step with egg does not work. be ready to start over and over. would help to know, where the egg update is, so maybe ppl can run there to warp the chok there. atm it goes back and forth at the tunnel area and talks with chok stalkers. nothing else.

Lead the chokidai out of Gorowyn. fine. The chokidai stops at the middle of the ramp between the buildings at the entrance, and the next set of buildings. around loc -743, neg 327

"Find out why the beast hesitates to obtain its freedom" (next step) Hail the choki where it stops.

"Guard the chokidai while it seeks what it desires" (next step) It will run away and get its egg.

"Get the chokidai safely out of gorowyn with its egg" (next step) Run back out of Gorowyn. Update is the same spot that the chokidai stopped at in previous step. 3 Basilisks spawn and attack the person listed on the chokidai.

"Protect the pup from the ravenous Basilisks" (next update) Kill the 3 basilisks that popped.

"Get the chokidai safely out of Gorowyn with its pup" (next update) Run the chokidai up to the skyfire zoneline area.

For the updates that involve moving with the chokidai It lists a person's name under it. That person has to do the run around. Can zone people to pass who its "friend" is.
