Crossfire  

BTW.. the Loc is 990, 669, -274... to the left of Borso as you go in.. the directions at the top have it wrong

Just three boxed this task, took little over an hour.

Was using 70 Druid with 250 AA, 70 Warrior with 350 AA and a 70 Beastlord with 20 AA.

Spirit Stags are level 60 so they can be killed while you're asleep in most cases, but they do summon.

Fallen Spirits are more difficult to kill since they are around level 68 or so, they do not summon but have more hp than the Spirit Stags.

Master of the Herd was a fairly easy fight, I kinda messed up and forgot to reslow so I ended up with 20m on the Druid and about 60m on the Beastlord because of resists. For that fight all I did was chain root the stag adds while Warrior and Beastlord killed the Master of the Herd, be careful not to damage the Spirit Stags if you use this tactic since they do summon.

All in all this quest is really easy for a really good reward. Should be cakewalk to do with full group.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the Fallen Spirits drop the dust 100% of the time, and the Spirit Stags seemed to only drop the hoof about 50-60% of the time.

Getting to Gkil is dangerous, there are several KoS MOBs around.
Skillfully ply your use of visibility / invisibility to stay alive.

You say, 'Hail, Gkil Zon'

Gkil Zon says 'Hello there traveler. Come to visit my humble stall? Though no where near as large as Tellen's or as splashy as Borso's, I find that by concentrating on my own niche products I can eek out a living. Why fight both of them when I can simply keep my head down and avoid the blows they throw at each other. Don't want to get caught in the [crossfire] now, do I?'

You say, 'Crossfire'

Gkil Zon says 'Yes, they are engaged in a bitter battle against each other, always trying to out do the other. Alas, the fighting has grown so heated that it has even disrupted my ability to earn a living. It seems that in their desire to injure each other, the thugs they hire are not so discriminating in who they attack. I believe my [suppliers] have fallen victim to the wayward blows both have directed at each other.'

You say, 'suppliers'

Gkil Zon says 'Yes, normally they do a fine job of keeping me well stocked with the few items I offer at my stand but I feel they have decided to find employment elsewhere due to the heightened danger of working for a merchant such as I. But if you are willing to face this risk than I shall compensate you for your time and fortitude. Travel to the wild and chaotic lands of Arcstone to retrieve what I seek. After you have gathered what I have asked for, return to me and I shall see that you are justly rewarded.'

You are offered the Crossfire task.

More to follow.

Bard Chain mezzed his wandering friends.
Warrior Tagged off The "Master of the Herd" tanked it down quick. Bard faded let mez wear off and left them to wander aimlessly.
