Call of the Forsaken Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor About Heroic Adventures - Heroic adventures in Call of the Forsaken scale in level: As low as Level 75 and up to current maximum level. - Scale is based on the highest level player present in the zone and affects difficulty, loot quality, and mob levels. - There is some variation/randomization in the task steps you'll be assigned as you progress through the task. - Time of completion will vary by your group's makeup (anywhere from 30-90+ minutes). - Collection items appear as ground spawns midway through tasks (you'll see an emote indicating their appearance). - Named mobs (or their PHs) spawn midway through tasks (usually, but always, at the same time collection items appear). - These tasks have individual 3-hour lockout timers (timer gained upon completion). Experience in Heroic Adventures - Mobs in these instances grant some experience, but the bulk of experience is earned upon task completion. - As of a patch in November 2014, less difficult tasks were tuned to reward less experience and more difficult ones were tuned to reward more. - For an added experience bonus, check out Guard Hamarn's "Daily Tasks".

I come from a small farming and fishing village to the south, well, what's left of it. We've been hit real hard by recent [events].' You say, 'What about those events?' Marla Gaslow says 'Our land has suffered since that creature decided to make our plains her home. The nearby mountainside rises and falls on a whim, pouring lava into the streams and farmlands that once helped feed our families. It's a disaster! A disaster we can't survive much longer without some [assistance].' You say, 'Assistance?' Marla Gaslow says 'I've been to every tent and spoken with every guard. Most of them ignored me completely, while others acknowledged my presence long enough to assure me that there were more pressing matters than assisting a small village that no one's ever heard of.' The farmer sighs. 'We're desperate, _____. Someone needs to [help].' You say, 'I'll help!' Marla Gaslow takes your hand gently in hers with a warm smile, 'Thank you, _____.
