Redwind  

Once when I was lvl 39 or 40 just for shts and giggles, I decided to see if Redwind would still aggro on me. I knew he didnt drop anything that was useful to me, but him and the Lich are about the only things that I havent killed or helped to kill in my home zone of Everfrost (and I mean monsters by that, hehe). So I mosied up the ramp of the ruined temple and Redwind immediately aggrod on me, and brought his whole horde of icy orcs with him. I fell back and began to root my heart out, but Redind was close enough that he fired off his HT and it hit me (which surprised the crap outta me). My pet was already goin nuts tearin the orcs, but shaman pets are laughable at best and he didnt last too long. At my lvl my pet was prbly about the same lvl as the icy orcs, so lets do the math 4 warriors + one SK and his pet vs. one shaman's pet. I would put my money on the orcs, especially since I had decided to see what was goin on in Permafrost about that time, lol.
I've gotten a little bit more powerful since then, maybe I'll go back and see what Redwind is up to, and introduce him to my new line of pet spells. ;)

This camp can be solo'd by a single level 30 Bard because I've done it. It's not great XP per kill at that level, but it's good, steady XP over time with 1-4pp per orc sometimes.

Just lull every one of them. Then I use Charm to bring each one out to a couple hundred feet from the camp. Then ramp up the magic resists by the time the Charm breaks. Once you're fighting the orcs you should be running your slow song to slow their attack and movement speed. By that time any spells cast by these orc melee shamans are practically useless. And the slow song reduces the amount of hits they get on you dramatically. And when they turn around to run they crawl away from you until they stop in snare-like fashion. A few stabs in the back and they are gone.

When you get to Redwind you need to make sure that you Charm him, and have him attack his pet. He always Harm Touches that pet. He's still under your control for a few seconds after he does his own pet in, so draw him out to the spot and use the same resist and slow method that brought his brethren down.

Songs:
Kelin's Lugubrious Lament (to lull)
Solon's Song of the Sirens (to pull)
Purifying Rhythms (to resist poison and disease, slight AC boost))
Guardian Rhythms (to resist magic, slight AC boost)
Selo's Consonant Chain (to slow target's attack and movement speed)

Level 31 Bard at the time of this writing

Took Redwind tonight, myself 31 ranger, with 25 warrior and 28 (29?) necro. Warrior pulled with bow, I waited for a couple rounds before I jumped in. He took the harm touch (hp plumment to near half), and I was able to taunt Redwind off him pretty quick and went down under 3 bubbles by the end of the fight. Whoever has the 2 hander pulls and doesn't taunt. Whoever is duel wielding jumps in once he harm touches, and it isn't that hard. There's no reason to heal your puller because the puller doesn't have to take more than 400-500 points of damage (harm touch, a few rounds, and what little the pet can do). Thanks Daranure and Cerrano for the help.

I was in a group, as a 23 ranger, with a 25 ranger and a 23 druid, and we took him out 4 straight times with no problems. He dropped the rune on three of those occasions.

The other day after hunting in Perma for HQ Ore my son a 35 Bard and I (30 cleric) camped em for a while. I used calm to pull one or the orcs at a time and when he was alone I Stunned, Enstill, Wrath a couple times - Dead - 1/2 mana bar and Bub of health. Bard didnt even get hit. Seemed he like me better. With a Bard singing mana/regen little down time - no sweat. No Rune though. 4 kills

can 2 30 palidans a 27 ranger and a 33 magiacian take redwind?

Went to kill some things in Everfrost at 39. I found the Icy Orcs, and killed one, then noticed 3 others behind me. I had to bail out after I was at 2 bubs of health. I didn't see anything around the first one when I nailed it. I guess they aggro from a ways.

I've got the bracer now and here is how I did. I took down Redwind with a 25 Barb Shammy, a 26 Wood Elf Ranger (me) and a 23 Barb Warrior. We buffed and stayed out of aggro range until I moved up. I cast 14(!) harmony spells trying to get him. We it finally worked, pulled with a snare (didn't stick of course). He hits hard, but with 3 on 1 he goes down pretty quick. The shammy spells did seem to stick better (maliase, etc), but that could be dumb luck. Got a monk in later and the pull was significantly easier. He drops the rune everytime.

Since when does Redwind have a pet? I went back to pay him a visit, to help out a friend, after having not hunted him in about 8 lvl's and he has a pet now?!! Not that it was a problem ..lol but was just wondering if it was something he did special for me or a freak occurance...

Me and my friend were camping Redwind, he was lvl 30 and I was 34(rngrs) He aggros Redwind, Redwind turns stops then... Booom!! My friend loses 2 bubbles. Thats a nasty Harm Touch he then casts Clinging Darkness on you to slow you down if he gets the time to notice ya backing up away from him. He hits pretty hard too but not much better than his lvl 25 Ice Orks.

Spawns at the orc platform with the icy orcs, drops a rune for one of the ivy etched armor quests (ranger only armor).
