Fergarin Raid #1: Kill Kangur  

earlier this week we were doing this for a low number raid to get fast cheap loot and get a raid wide WGL faction hit, cuz the first 2 times the raid stayed in the instance while I ran back to hail(btw you get the lockout at kill now, but still need to go hail for the raid to get letters) and they got the faction hit when I hailed.... but the third time no one BUT me got the faction hit, and I had hit max ally. Any clue why the raid didn't get the hit inside the last time when they did the first two?

We beat this yesterday shortly after my other post, here is the rest of the info.

There are three steps to the task, not two, and the second one listed here isn't even correct. Here are the three steps:

1. Exit the black market area through the Souther Door
2. Kill Kangur Kafta Veor
3. Speak with Fergarin Bardon I

-------------------

People were abusing this raid by killing the spider and then not speaking with Fergarin after (to get loot and avoid lockouts). They fixed this and now:

Upon killing the spider you get an update for both step #2 and step #3 and the task is complete, even though you do not actually speak with Fergarin. Everyone in the raid receives the Letters of Evidence.

-------

Upon killing the spider you receive this yellow-text dialgoue:

You have defeated the eight-legged snow queen and her young broodlings! Fergarin is so pleased that he asks you to hold on to some important documentation for him. He now believes that you can protect that documentation. He tells you that he thinks you might be just the right person to help him [deal with a traitor] in his own city.
You have been given: Letters of Evidence

Exact Location of NPC(Fergarin)

770, -780, -25

---------------------------

The dialogue you have here is completely wrong. This dialogue is for the first quest, you need to remove the whole thing starting with "Hail, Fergarin Bardon I" and ending with "perhaps disprove these rumours". It really looks like someone copy/pasted the first quests dialogue to the entire quest line and it really doesn't work that way. There is actually a storyline to this whole quest line. Here is the proper dialogue for this task from start to finish for the top:

You say, 'dangerous threat?'

Fergarin Bardon I says 'As if we don't have enough problems, what with our own esteemed ancestors climbing the wall trying to kill us, we also have a spider problem. Now obviously this is not an ordinary spider, for it lives in the highest parts of the glacier and fears neither Krithgor nor Shade. She is a massive beast and she comes down to the lake to check on her babies and eat any that grow threateningly large. She also kills dozens of my people while she's at it. If you could [destroy this monstrosity] I would be very grateful.'

You say, 'I will destroy this monstrosity.'

Fergarin Bardon I says 'I wish you luck. Perhaps you will be small enough that you can surprise her, though I wouldn't count on it.'

-----------------

Task description: Fergarin has asked you to slay the spider queen known as Kangur Vafta Veor. He believes that she will be on the lake now, eating her young and killing anything that comes near.

Exit southern door to get to the lake.

anyone confirm (Note that if you bypass the first three tasks, you will not be able to request further raid tasks from Fergarin.) yet?
