Опасный квест, не рекомендуется делать в одиночку, даже хантом. Големы имеют почти мгновенный респавн, и нападают по двое-трое из-за большого агро-радиуса. Плюс наш геолог очень ватный - имеет мало ХП.

This can be a little tough, I would suggest at least a couple other people for help. The prospector walks all the way through the ruins pulling everything, including things that spawn if he passes. All of the creatures are at least level 18, you will be dealing with at least three at a time. Also he has very low life and can be killed easily, make sure he doesn't get hit too often. As hard as it is I would definatly do this quest, it leads to a series that gives great exp and rewards.

Mage / Druid combo is the way that I did this one. The mage went ahead and cleared mobs before the prospector aggroed them, and I (druid) stayed on the prospector to heal. I'd throw a small heal on the mage every once in a while. Also buffed the prospector with MotW and thorns. He aggroed twice but I quickly took them off of him. Real easy to do.

He's got a respawn time of 8-10mins approx.

What happens if you fail as I did,the little bugger got himself killed,is it the end or does he respawn?

Комментарий от Thottbot

I believe it's this way for almost all of the escort quests, but let them lead the way and get attacked. This way they'll participate in the fight. Otherwise, you'll notice, that if you start clearing ahead of him, he'll go on his merry way, and while you're fighting, he'll happily walk past you. He'll probably even aggro other things, adding to your troubles. So let him go first, and let him get attacked and make sure he's fighting before you join in. ;) Make him work! Damn guy is absent minded anyway. All this damn work just to find out he left his fossil with the other chick. *mutters* =)

Unfortunately, this quest is a bit buggy. I decided to run through this quest 2 times with my level 50 main druid, before trying it with my alt.

The first time I cleared everything in the immediate area, down the stairs and the first level of golems I thought would try to attack him. I then initiated the escort and went into stealthed feral form. I only went as far as him wandering around the encampment. He wanders around, goes up the board ramp & a scout comes out of the bottom and attacks you (even though I tried to stay out of range).

Then he looks in the tent. At that time, another scout comes out...the first time it followed him, but never attacked him. The second time, two scouts came out and attacked him as he was making his way down the stairs, upon which a stone golem jumped into the fray, making three and he was dead before I could get out feral form. When I'd cleared the camp the first time, the golems that were in the back area, which I considered out of aggro range, well they weren't and they also killed him...he drops fast.

My conclusion is that at least in the encampment, he is going to aggro every golem in there. Once outside, if he's like other escort quests, you're probably safe to follow him and not take any extras on. Usually when the escortee says something, that's your cue that the boogeymen are going to come running up shortly.

If you come to the area and can't find him, it means that someone is either doing the escort, or that they failed. He will usually respawn within about 5 mins or so. Also the golems have a varied spawn time, making it difficult for a higher level to clear the camp (ahem) and let him walk free (he's a pokey devil). By my estimations, some of them are on 4 minutes and the others between 7 and 10.

I also noticed on the 2nd failure that the two scouts remained activated. They were at the far end straight ahead from where you first start the escort, so that would be a clue if you can't find Remtravel up, that someone else has failed and he'll be along shortly.
Good luck!

i failed and he died he didnt APEAR again after that vat do i do?Can anione help me does he need time to swamp back so u can get the q again?

Комментарий от Thottbot

This is one of the most annoying quests I have ever attempted. Was a level 22 Hunter with a level 22 cat at the time. Before I even talked to the prospector, I first cleared the camp of golems and took a look around to see if there were any hidden mobs. No hidden mobs.

The problem is that the golems respawn quickly and irregularly so that by the the time I had killed the final golem, they had begun respawning at the start. And when I killed those off, one or two had respawned in the back. So I had to go back and kill them off, and finally the camp was clear.

So I dashed back to the prospector and started him off on his search. I went along by his side until he climbed the stairs to the first construction landing. He came back down and as he reached the ground, a scout spawned and jumped out from under the construction landing and began attacking the prospector, who began fighting back. THIS was a real surprise (since I hadn't read the thottbot comments on this quest), so I wasn't ready for it. Anyway, my pet and I soon killed the scout.

Then the prospector meandered around some more, looking here and there. Another golem appeared, which I dispatched quickly. In the meantime, the prospector had gone into a tent at the far end of the camp. When he came out, two scouts suddenly spawned and dashed out after him: one attacked the prospector, and one attacked me. I set my pet on the one attacking the prospector, and I meleed the other. At this point, a golem spawned right next to us and began whomping the prospector. Well, my pet and I lived, but the prospector died. :(

Several more golems had appeared in the meantime, so I killed them off and left the camp. After about ten or fifteen minutes, the prospector reappeared at his initial spot. Wanting to avoid the tedium of redoing this quest without a healer along to keep the prospector alive, I did not repeat the quest.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Not hard really, i done it with my hunter level 19 and my tiger lvl 19, just dont waste mana, and keep him alive geting agroo with my pet

Комментарий от Thottbot

I've tried it with a paladin and warrior at about the same level in the past, and had a really hard time doing it. I also got lucky with the priest because there were occasions I thought for sure the guy would die but my heal got to him before the death blow. I do agree with other comments - you are better staying a ways back and letting the mobs attack him first. Basically I let him get aggro, cast renew on him and use the assist key to SW:Pain and wand who he is attacking. I started casting heal when he gets about halfway through his life. That usually pulls the mobs to you for sure, but by that time they are easy to clean up. As soon as battle is over, do another renew on both of you so you're at full health by the time of the next encounter. Biggest pain is the length of the quest because there are too many opportunities to screw up!

Комментарий от Thottbot

I did this quest on my fire mage at lv 21. I let the escort lead the way, and when it seemed that he would pull a mob, I began to cast pyro - I followed this up with a fireball, and then fireblast, and most mobs were dead or near death (if not dead, I just wanded).

For any of the multiple trogg spawns, I waited to see who the escort was targetting (by targetting him and pressing assist ), and sheeped them. I then cast fireblast to get aggro, put up a mana shield, and proceeded to wand. I did the same with the sheeped mob.

Multiple golem aggro was more of a problem due to not being sheepable. For the most part, I used mana shield and arcane exploded (I've focused on sta and int with my gear, so this was not too risky).

The two important notes are to hang back, and let the escort do all the aggroing - while it may seem safer to clear the path ahead early, the dwarf often doesn't help, and worse, will continue walking and may aggro more mobs. Also, with the bizarre respawning of the elementals, you may get more mobs than you can handle. Secondly, eat and drink whenever possible. If there are multiple mobs on the escort, you may need to mana shield and run in to arcane explosion. Not an easy thing to do when you're running low on health and mana.

If you're careful, you should be able to do it. Of course, get a friend and it should be a tonne easier. =)

Easy for a hunter level 20 with a pet AND TRAINED. You just have to pray for your pet first and all will be good.

Stone guys will fall quickly with your pet tanking and your arrows doing the rest, what you just have to do is take the agro when they are more than one (Multi-Shot). You will easily resist one mob (Aspect of the Monkey) so keep focus on your pet's target, shoot him fast and send your pet on the one anoying you.

Kill the 3 fist stone guy just before you start the quest will help a bit.

Good luck

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Managed this as a lvl19 hunter (lvl16 green gun, lvl15 bullets) with bear pet on second attempt. Took a trip inside first and slayed everything and then kept mobs at minimum firing range to not aggro unnecessary spawns. Make sure you swap targets with your pet so they both aggro the pet instead of the Prospector and you'll be fine.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I kept getting resists? while shooting arrows at the golems. Are they arrow resistant?

I tried to do this at level 17 as a Hunter - I strongly advise against it. I'm going to try again at 20 when my skills are a little more updated. I'm guessing (and hoping) that might be part of the resisting issues, but I ended up daggering them into submission eventually.

Bear pet would be my choice also as they have more HP and can stun (unless golems resist that also :p).

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

After multiple attempts (somewhere in the area of 8-10) I was able to solo this as a 20 Priest. I found it very challenging.

Maxdsterling's advice below is very sound. However, if you are not a healing class level 22 or below, I would think this would be too difficult to solo. I could be wrong, however, the elementals do respawn quickly, and in many cases if you lag behind the Prospector and let him take all initial aggro in the deepest part of escort, he can still grab 2-3 add-ons.

I found, even on my final successful attempt, I had to throw a quick flash heal on the Prospector before I could pull aggro away to save him from certain death on multiple occasions.

My advice: Attempt to find a partner or group before deciding to try to solo. If you do attempt to solo, get comfortable. Even if you don't get it on the first couple of tries, stride to get the Prospector further through the escort each time. Careful planning, and patience, will be key to soloing this portion of the quest successfully.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

hmmm what does one do to restart this quest if we fail it... we got it down to the last mob and lost the prospector a fraction before the last mob died :( So, now it shows (Complete) in my "L" Quest Log, but the sheet says (Failed) on it. Hollee won't talk to me. I abandoned the quest, but the other party leader has "share" greyed out. Looks like this entire quest chain is completely dead, now. Or is there a way to restart it?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The quest isn't ELITE. There are no elite creatures involved in the quest.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

- further to that last post, finally found the little git: Temple of the Moon or whatever it's called, in Darnassus - on the plinth at the left side of the main temple dome. Of course, the quest doesn't actually end there, but there ya go.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

did it alone as a lvl20 druid. died twice, but it wasn't that hard.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

It appears I either forgot to pick it up, or lost it. I don't have it in my inventory, though it shows my quest is complete. And now I can't talk to Remtravel. Any idea where I can pick up the fossil?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ok, soloed this w/ my 22 druid (quest still yellow) . Here's a walkthrough:

Clear out the front section of stone elementals before you start the quest, you can try to clear further, but i find the spawn rate is too fast and you end up fighting them anyways.

Start the quest, you may (depending on how fast you kill) have to deal w/ a respawned elem, but that's resonable. THE KEY PART IS: you must let Remtravel get hit/start hitting the mob FIRST before you attack it, at lvl 16, remtravel does a decent amt of dmg to the 18-20 mobs, so use this to your advantage. As a druid, mana conservation is key, drink when out of combat, and have a big pot ready if you get in over your head (i didn't use one).

Simply put, lag behind Remtravel until he screams for help, then (moonfire) attack to draw aggro so he doesn't die.

At then end, a mage/warr duo pops up and if you don't get the aggro from the mage off Remtravel on the first hit, he's as good as dead (2 firebolts = failed quest, that was attempt 1 of 2 for me, after that i learned the mage must go first, he'll flame Remtravel once cuz of the initial aggro, but if you hit him as he spawns, yr good).

After that, its a cakewalk back, a few respawns but nothing you can't handle.

A similar concept applies if you do this as a group. If you attack every mob before Remtravel acknowledges it, he'll keep walking as if nothing is bothering him. Keep him close and 'relatively' in the fight and you'll be fine.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I soloed this quest with a level 21 Draenei Shaman, my mana was nearly always 0, and it annoyed me that you couldn't get him to wait unless there was some golem trying to eat him.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Died in the second part of this quest and had to abandon it.. where can I pick it up again?

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This is another one that should have been ELITE in the darkshore area (like the ocean deep quest). You can't possibly do this one alone. You need at least 3 people to pull it off.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

It's good to know it's an Elite mission even though it's not listed as one. But what would be even more useful would be to know where he is.

For those that need to know, he's West, yes west, of The Master's Glave. Which is on the west side of the road very far south in Darkshore, almost at the southern end of the map for that zone. Just follow the road and you'll see The Master's Galve on your right hand side.

I pulled this one off with me (level 21 druid) and 2 level 17 druids (both heal/moonfiring(and backup tanking if we pulled too much aggro) while I majored in DD with cat form). Was a breeze. Certain i coulda done it alone, but it was easier, faster and safer with a group. Plus it gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside :P

Yeah, the basic rule is stay BEHIND the prospector. If he keeps walking while your fighting 2-5 mobs, your as good as failed. If you let him pull the aggro instead of trying to clear a path, he stays behind, meaning he wont pull extra aggro and he helps with killing the golems. Another tip is kill the golem the prospector is attacking LAST if you have more than one pull (of course, gain aggro from said golem before wiping the others).

A fun quest to do, especially as I could show off my new battle-rez skill :) (Healer pulled aggro through opver healing/firing, decided to rez him for the hell of it. Got my 2s of him thouh, being the cheapskate I am.)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Did the first part solo as a 21 warrior and found it relatively easy - seems the hard part is finding the Greywhiskers guy in Darnassus on the follow-up, since the quest-log gives you no info whatever on whereabouts to look... so yeah, still searching for the guy, hohum.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

where is the prospector greywhiskers in darnnasus i cant find him or the explorers leuge anywere plz help...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I did this with a level 40+ player at level 20.

That was the only way.

First, we went in and killed a few of them. Don't try to do all of them because they respawn really fast. Then we started the quest...when he goes up to the right and stuff, these golems will follow him down. BE PREPARED. I even got killed with help. What you need is one player to fight the ones that WILL attack him and then go fight off the ones that do attack him. He helps you.

I was pissed off in the end though, because it turns out, he forgot that he left it with Hollee! >.<

Комментарий от Taraezor

Even if you have over levelled this quest (as I had) you must stay vigilant. He tends to rush off and get attacked and die quickly because he has rather low health. Remember: In quests like this you may always heal/bandage the NPC1

Комментарий от Wimbleton

One way to get started, as Vigfus suggests below, is to clear the excavation area first, then accept the second portion of the quest from Remtravel. There will be four or five trogg respawns but that will be a lot easier, so you can concentrate on healing Remtravel. One frustrating thing is that the old trick of not looting kills doesn't work here; they disappear and suddenly respawn whether you loot them or not. The good news is a few pennies and a few greens. Good farming area. The bad news is that Remtravel has about 10 health and virtually no ability to defend himself.

Комментарий от Nochz

If you attack a Golem before the golem attack him he will just walk past you while you fight and aggro everyone else. DO NOT attack anyone before they attack him. (unless you've cleared it all beforehand ofc)

Комментарий от kishery

Some hints on how to do this quest.

Remtravel will go through the digsite and back and you need to defend him against two attacks of troggs, where the second assault will be the most dangerous one and requires quick reaction.

When you start, remove the Constructs and Golems if you have the time.
The first assault will be when he is walking up the ramp next to the tents. You can leave him alone for a moment with one trogg.
Try to get some time to remove additional stone golems.
The second assault will be on the way out. At the eastern side of the digsite is a small ledge, a trogg shaman will spawn there. Focus this one, as he can kill Remtravel in seconds.
Respawn is quite fast, so always eat and drink whenever you have a moment to keep you filled up.

Good luck!

Комментарий от voxpax

Follow these two tips for the best chance of getting this quest done:

1. Do NOT try and clear the area ahead of the prospector. Let him take agro and then take the agro off him by attacking the mob.

2. When the prospector gets attacked by multiple mobs (will happen at least twice) take agro off him FAST by starting an attack on one mob to get agro and then switching to the other. The prospector has low HP and will die quickly if you don't take agro. Once you take agro, the prospector helps take the mob(s) down.

Learned this the hard way. Was in a grp of three (lowbies) and tried clearing the area ahead of the prospector. He died on three separate attempts because he was left to take agro on his own from just one mob.

I eventually finished the quest the next day. At time of writing, I'm playing a lvl 21Dwarf Priest. No special abilities or skills or cooldowns needed. Just follow the tips.

Комментарий от LordSnot

My attempt to do this quest just now on TBC Classic went as follows:
- Killed all Gollem mobs in advance, just like always.
- Began escort, but failed when caster Trogg one-shotted Remtravel during normal course of quest when mobs spawn in. Fair enough, I wasn't properly prepared.
- Waited for Remtravel to respawn, re-started quest.
- Another player entered the area.
- Gollem mobs started to respawn at a hyper rate, literally after 60 seconds.
- Gollems respawned around me just as the same event featuring the caster Trogg and melee Trogg started.
- Failed and died.
- Third attempt, hyper-respawns continued, with Gollems respawning after 60 seconds, same thing happened, myself and Remtravel surrounded by respawns as Troggs were spawning in. Failed.
- Gave up and got help from a L70 Guildie.

The dynamic respawn thing makes this quest impossible to solo, at least for me on a squishy Mage. Maybe a super-twinked Pally or Hunter could do it.
This is the first time in my life I've ever had this kind of trouble with the quest. I've completed it without issue on countless alts in the past.
I suppose I was just super unlucky with the other player wandering in and triggering dynamic respawns.

Комментарий от Vulkanian

Don't even bother with this stupid quest. You get swarmed with mobs and golem respawn timers are unreasonable.

Комментарий от SeekerWi

If you bring over Kerlonian Evershade from Спящий пробудился to help at level 17, you can solo the quest with any class. He can solo any mob with ease and function as a tank. The 25 minutes given is more than enough to finish his quest after you do the prospector, too.

Even with that the difficulty is high, duo it if you can find anyone around. the fireballing trogg is your biggest hurdle, make sure to let him get exactly one fireball off to make sure Remtravel does not ignore him, but two fireballs will probably end up killing him.

Комментарий от IronPylons

Did this on the Hardcore server and none of the ambush events spawned. Only had to kill the Golems that normally spawn there.

Not worth the effort.
