I camped the CC entrance for about a total of 15 hours before I had a druid with me that spotted him
Coldain Ring #6: Mithril Coldain Insignia Ring
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
At the end of the previous quest, Garadain mentioned a favor.
You say, 'What favor?' Garadain Glacierbane says 'For several seasons there has been an unsolved mystery in this land. Not far from here an elite team of Coldain and their trained wolves were gathered to make a strike at the Kromrif. No one knows just what became of our strike force. Bring me proof of their fate and proof that whoever was responsible for their loss is no more.' To find proof of their fate, your journey begins with Korrigain, located in the southwestern corner of the zone. He generally spawns around 9 PM gametime at the dwarven hut near Icefang, the named dire wolf. You say, 'Hail, Korrigain' Korrigain says 'Who dares disturb my rest? If ye be a friend of the mighty Coldain, then show me proof and I shall tell you of my plight. If not, then be on your way.' Give him your Obsidian Coldain Insignia Ring. Korrigain says 'Many seasons ago I stood here in life with my comrades, the best warriors Thurgadin had to offer. Along with our faithful wolven army we were poised to eliminate the Kromrif presence in the region. Somehow, the enemy was made aware of our plans and just before our attack, a group of Ry'Gorr oracles charmed our wolves, forcing them to tear down their own masters. We were caught by surprise and died a savage death.' During the conversation with Korrigain, Icefang comes out of his hut and stands next to Korrigain, who then proceeds to buff his loyal doggie sidekick. Korrigain says 'All that remains from that battle is my loyal Icefang. He will not rest until I am avenged. Follow and watch after him. He alone knows where our attackers lie and he cannot overcome them by himself. May Brell bless you with success, farewell.' Icefang then runs generally east to the orc hut near the bridge to Iceclad Ocean. His route is not direct and his speed is around Spirit of Wolf speed. Wandering orcs and giants will aggro on him, so you must keep him alive en route. When he gets to the orc hut, two to four of "An oracle of Ry`Gorr" spawn, along with Poxbreath Yellowfang, their leader. You have slain Poxbreath Yellowfang! Your faction standing with RyGorr Clan Snow Orcs got worse. Your faction standing with Citizens of Froststone got better. You gain experience!! --You have looted a Note from Kromrif.-- The note reads: Commander Yellowfang, Your handling of the Coldain elite guard was outstanding. It will take the stumpymen many years to recover from that slaughter. My superiors are well pleased. Your loyalty and service to the Kromrif have sealed an alliance between our peoples that we shall honor from this day forward. The bulk of this treasure is for you to distribute among your men as you see fit. We ask that you provide well for your coldain informant, Rodrick Kotrad, as your success would have been impossible without his cooperation. Surikka Squatnot The coldain traitor is really one Rodrick Tardok, who spawns in the small tower outside the northwest corner of the Ry`Gorr Keep. Every once in a while a Ry`Gorr Emissary will spawn there. Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'Where is that sniveling little worm?' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'He was supposed to be here hours ago!' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'I don't know why the chief tolerates this insolent fool. If he is discovered he'll betray us for sure.' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'If he makes me wait another minute I'll gut him myself...' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'Ahh, good to see you my little friend, I was beginning to think something had happened to you.' If you leave him alone for a few minutes, Rodrick will spawn inside the tower. You have slain Rodrick Tardok! Your faction standing with RyGorr Clan Snow Orcs got worse. Your faction standing with Citizens of Froststone got better. -- You have looted Rodrick's Head -- -- You have looted Dirk of the Traitor -- Keep the Dirk, as it is used in the 9th quest in this series. Turn Rodrick's Head, the Note from Kromrif, and your Obsidian Coldain Insignia Ring to Garadain. Garadain Glacierbane says 'Excuse me, ______, aren't you forgetting something?' Garadain Glacierbane says 'Excuse me, ______, aren't you forgetting something?' Garadain Glacierbane lowers his head and mutters, 'At least there will be some closure for their families, thanks to you. The Ry`gorr will pay for this with their lives! I will ask you to help us in the invasion of Ry`gorr keep, but first I have a delicate [mission] I was hoping you'd handle.' Your faction standing with Coldain could not possibly get any better. Your faction standing with Dain Frostreaver IV got better. Your faction standing with Kromzek got worse. Your faction standing with Kromrif could not possibly get any worse. You gain experience!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I just got him today, he did not spawn at the CC entrance, he spawns at a tower to the left of the rygorr entrance as you come out, I saw him 2 times in 10 minutes. Fortunately I hada druid with me so he spotted him = / otherwise I might still be camping the CC entrance now 
I camped the CC entrance for about a total of 15 hours before I had a druid with me that spotted him

It says CC EXIT, not entrance - thats the tower you found him at.
Been MQ'ing 8th rings for a while now and i can safely say that the emissary and rodrick are a one hour spawn, the emissary doesnt stay up like he used to, he spawns rod then runs into the fort and despawns. afterwhich, rod despawns after about a minute, i dont know why the hell they would give you a 4 min time frame to kill this guy in. go figure verant :/
I was camping Rodrik for 6 hours. Avengers were spawned at least 3 times during that time. No emissary or Rodrik.
Camped his spawn point for hours, and so did a guildy the day before... NO Emmy, no Rodrik.

I was told (and believe) that the Emissary/Rodrick spawn breaks within about 5 days of a server downtime. The GM/Guides still play dumb on the situation, but I feel differently.
Ry'Gorr Emissary spawns right in front of the Crystal Caverns exit (neg3500, pos900?), outside of the building.
When I camped him, the Emissary spawned an hour after the last guy killed Rodrick. I single pulled Rodrick, and the Emissary casually walked into the orc fort directly to where the Oracle is, then despawned.
Rodrick was light blue, and very easy to kill (his weapon procs a self stun, so he spins.)
Hopefully this will help someone out,

Anonymous
OMG! I have been camping this guy for about 2 days pretty much constantly and he has not spawned once. I read some of the other posts on trying to spawn him and have tried all of the above anyone have anyother ideas or no for a fact on how to spawn him or if you have his head and dagger on Tholuxe Paells server I will buy for a lot. Please Help!
Can't MQ dagger as it must be combined in the no drop box along with all the heads.

FYI, Icefang does not agro. I went invis when I handed in ring, did a con, and was indiff of course. Then turned off invis as Icefang was walking out. Still Ally. Con'd Icefang the whole time before he despawned due to Pox not showing, and he always was Ally.
fyi.

Aye, did this myself 5 times yesterday, Pox is indeed not spawning.

Dernit! Got my group all set, and hadn't read the updates here. Kor spawned, and I triggered Icefang. He went to Ry'Gorr fort, but Pox did not spawn.
/sigh
Once the freaking server comes back up (or my ISP fixes itself, but doubt that is it since I am post here), I'll have to apologize to my group I put together.

Well, they fixed Korrigan. That part is OK now.
Now Poxbreath Yellowfang does NOT spawn.
Tried many times. This truly sucks...

Korrigain is broke and won't spawn until server repop. Also, Icefang is broke. The only way to get it to work now is aggro Korrigan to the orc camp. I had a GM confirm this today.

/nod I saw Korrigan the first day after this last patch, and handed the ring to him. IceFang did not get more than 100 yards away before respawning and the whole loop starts over again. Now, no Korrigan, only a voice from Ewph (E_W place holder?) that starts the poor dog off again, day or night, 24/7. *sigh* have to wait for a patch, I guess.

Reason you see him alot more when those big guys are up, is because when their up NO groups hunt ry gorr fort, so when emissary spawns everyone leaves him alone.

I'd been hanging around the orc fort for about 2 days waiting for the Emissary to show up and spawn Rodrick. I finally tried handing the 5th ring to Korrigain again just to see. Since I'm retarded I forgot to make sure I had an open inventory slot (I didn't) and lost the ****'n ring.
About a half hour later Rodrick showed up on track and I get his head. Figures. This may just be coincidence but I figure it can't hurt to try it if you need Rodrick.
Incidentally, the last few times I've seen Rodrick up have been when someone screws up the 8th quest and leaves the huge group of orcs and giants standing in front of the fort. I know they don't NEED to be there to spawn Emissary/Rodrick but I tend to see them a lot more often when they are.

Korrigain spawns at 11pm and despawns at 7am. If you ***** up the first try you do have a little time to try it again before he depops.
Icefang seems to be on the regular coldain faction, both before and after you hand the ring to Korrigain (I con kindly both before and after I hand the ring to Korrigain.)
At level 42 Poxbreath has been red to me every time. He's a shaman and will cast Tagar's/Turgurs/whatever Insects and Scourge (~500pt. disease DoT.) I've had some of the oracles (also red to me every time) hit me with Plague (~1000pt. disease DoT.)
If you can get him away from the others (snare/root/chains/etc.) they will depop. Once alone he's a pretty easy kill, as he seems to be relatively weak at melee. I used a frost giant savage (blue to me) to kill him (red to me); the savage finished the fight with half his life left. The toughest part is getting him away from the oracles.

Does Icefang actaully become higher lvl and bigger aggro range once he respawns? If so. whats his lvl range and his spawn time. In case i have to kil him

I have done ring 1 and 3 solo. Ring 2 all i needed was a druid with me to follow the doorf and root the mobs so i could kill the to keep the doorf from dieing. For part 4 all you need to do spawn the 4 giant and kill the named and loot the vial. When Tain spawns again 3 hours later hand in the vial and get the hammer to turn in for ring 4.
I happen the have the invasion plans on me also so me (60 rog) and my guildies (60 monk, 59 cleric and 60 druid) helped me kill the ork for ring 5 real quick after killing the named giant.
Once tain spawned i turned in the stuff to get ring 5.
Soon after i killed Rodrick and got his head. So i will do ring 6 tommorrow. I did ring 1 through 5 in less than 24 hours. =)
I'm sure it will get harder after this but so far it has been a breeze.

I done, lets see...2 8th coldain rings, one 9th and a number of 1th to 6th rings to make faction with dain. Im a lvl 60 bard and have no trouble soloing 1th to 8th ring. I just need a item that cast root or so for 7th so i can camp after training the dorf away from the ambushing giants. The only hard part of 9th ring was getting brewing skill high enought to make the tainted ale. The ring is defently worth they few hours of work you need to make it.

we got Rodrick 5 times in a row yesterday (Sol Ro)
you just have to keep the Emissary alive - after Rodrick spawnt the Emissary runs
into the orc fort and returns (if noone kills him) after a few minutes - spawning a new
Rodrick Tardok
after the 5th Rodrick the Emissary was killed or despwaned - did not come back from his
fort run
if the Emissary aggroed on you or on others - just hit him until he starts running
away - then log out fast and come back (root and log don't work - cause the Emissary
is very high magic resist - tried root 20 times and got one stuck for 2 seconds - lvl58

I have been camping Rodrick for a bit of time and it seems to be broken. Cuz everyone else in my guild keeps telling me hes a 2 hour spawm max, and well i have put in countless hours and nothing.. so will have to see after next patch to see if it has been fixed

This is a bunch of crap. I keep giving my ring to Korrigan and no emmisary the next day. I have killed the Chief outside the fort, and no Avengers. No emmisary either. Will someone please post a definite way to get the emmisary to spawn? This is the bottleneck of the quest. If you can get Rodrick's head, then it's a breeze up through the 8th ring. That is of course, if some idiot isn't killing the dwarf guards and gets Gloradin killed when she spawns.
PLEASE POST~

Is he still broken? haven't seen he or the emissary for quite some time now and I'm been camping them for 4 days now. My server went down like 2 days ago and after it was reset still haven't seen him. Tried killing the chief, Poxbreath etc but so far no dice =\ Also where abouts does the emissary spawn? I read somewhere he supposedly comes to the chimney thing where Rodrick spawns from the south but south where? Does he spawn inside the fort? outside? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
