Exposed to Norrath by the launch of Meldrath's Fortress Mechanotus, the Dragonscale Hills rise up to the south of the Steamfont Mountains. Though seemingly a peaceful vista, the Dragonscale Hills are rife with danger from the native inhabitants, many of whom are not happy about the intrusion of adventurers into their lands.

Here you will find the Kirkoten Minotaur Fortress, a small stronghold of minotaurs led by Overseer Gakkor Deepscar; Prismatic Valley, a canyon teeming with dragonkin and leading to Crystallos; Nightmare Grove, a forested area home to nightmare horses and arachnids; the Citadel of Tri`Qaras which houses the Ladies of the Light; and, the Darkvine Brownie Village in the southwest.

Make sure to keep an eye out for the plentiful aggressive wildlife as well as the gigantic Mechamatic Guardian which wanders the western part of Dragonscale. Getting stepped on or kicked by this massive clockwork will surely result in an untimely death.

Conned light blue, to lvl 85. Roamed near the clockworks that are located right by the fence to the farm area. Hit harder than the clock works and a lot faster. Same HP roughly. Dropped a "Small Rabbit's Foot". Lore, No Trade, Quest.

Automated Vending Unit V
Level 80
Merchant

[Sun Jun 28 17:27:53 2009] Your Location is 3754.31, -2525.26, 29.06
[Sun Jun 28 17:27:54 2009] You say, 'NPC is it'
[Sun Jun 28 17:27:54 2009] Automated Vending Unit V regards you as an ally -- looks like quite a gamble.
[Sun Jun 28 17:27:54 2009] You suspect that this being can see you.
[Sun Jun 28 17:27:54 2009] You say, 'Hail, Automated Vending Unit V'
[Sun Jun 28 17:27:55 2009] Automated Vending Unit V says 'This unit is designed for the support of Ak'Anon. Authorized personnel access only.' The model beeps and whirrs gently as it computes. 'If you require supplies, please browse the appropriate menus.'

New quest NPC by the Ak'anon strike force vendors +banker

[Sat Nov 29 18:34:41 2008] You say, 'Hail, Scribe Choone'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:41 2008] Scribe Choone says 'Hello there, friend. Would you happen to have a moment to speak with me about a [matter] of some importance?'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:46 2008] You say, 'matter'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:47 2008] Scribe Choone says 'First, allow me to introduce myself. I am Scribe Choone, one of Gimblefixx's gatherers of information. We left the caravan to investigate the rumors of a minotaur fortress in this region. Six of us went out, but only I made it back, for we were soon ambushed by angry minotaurs. The one they called Higoren was especially [brutal], seeming to take a fair amount of pleasure as he struck us down one at a time.'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:57 2008] You say, 'brutal'
[Sat Nov 29 18:34:57 2008] Scribe Choone says 'We were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and were ill-equipped to fight. I barely escaped. Five good gnomes died to gain access to the minotaur lands, and by rights those deaths shall not have been for naught. What advance money Gimblefixx gave me to finish my reporting, I'll grant to you if you'll thin out the minotaur herd and bring me the tail of Higoren. Is that a [deal]?'
[Sat Nov 29 18:35:03 2008] You say, 'deal'
[Sat Nov 29 18:35:03 2008] You are not at the right level for this task. Note: Here is with a level 66 character

At level 85 saying Deal i received the quest: "Kicking Tail" Objective:
Killing ten minotaurs should make it easier for Choone to do his work -0/10 - Dragonscale hills
Killing the minotaur Higoren will put Choone more at ease. -0/1-Dragonscale hills
Take Higoren's tail for proof of his demise.-0/1-Dragonscale Hills
Deliver the tail to Choone -0/1-Dragonscale hills

Handing in the tail:
[Sat Nov 29 20:25:12 2008] Your task 'Kicking Tail' has been updated.
[Sat Nov 29 20:25:12 2008] Scribe Choone says 'Scribe Choone looks at you and smiles. 'You killed Higoren! The souls of my companions can now rest in peace. Thanks to your efforts, I'll be able to get around in the minotaur-held area a little easier now. Thank you so much. Here is your reward.''

Some more information
Found Higoren in the minotaur mines (NOT the fort as mentioned in the quest dialogue) at location -998.08, 3263.91, -242.46 He does NOT see invis.
Fight is straight forward, tries to run at low health.
When agroed:
[Sat Nov 29 20:05:06 2008] You begin casting Sha's Legacy.
[Sat Nov 29 20:05:08 2008] Higoren says 'Higoren charges toward you, eager to spil your blood.'
When killed:
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] Your faction standing with Minions of Meldrath could not possibly get any worse.
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] Your faction standing with Brownie Rebels got better.
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] You gain group leadership experience!
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] You gain party experience!!
[Sat Nov 29 20:06:07 2008] Higoren's corpse says 'Higoren roars his last, and settles to the ground, dead.'


Does not have a reward yet, handing in the tail did not give me anything at this point. This quest is availble on the Test Server

Please add Automated Banking Unit III. He is a Banker on Ak'Anon Strike Force V faction and he CAN be used even at dubious faction (as all bankers can be used at any faction from Ready to Attack to Ally) and is also lvl 80. :)

He is located right beside Automated Vending Unit II. Also note the Banker and both Suppliers see invis so you don't have to remove invis to check faction.

What is up with the drops in this zone? There is almost nothing for Clerics. I have tons of armor drops that are either "WAR RNG MNK BRD ROG BST BER " or "RNG SHD DRU SHM NEC WIZ MAG ENC BST". Besides the "Flail of Redemption" and a couple of All/All there is nothing for Clerics here, or Pally/SK's by the look of it.
