[h3 toc=false]Strategy and Mob Percentages[/h3]
Pick up the ammunition in boxes and barrels and go to the [npc=86091] (costs 30 ammo) or the [npc=85579] (costs 20 ammo) and shoot the Orcs. Do not go to the [npc=85211] as it will shoot you.

Destroying [object=236277] or freeing prisoners in [object=236421] also awards credit. The quest mobs hit pretty hard as they are intended for a 5-player group to defeat.

Easy soloable even if it says it is a group quest. Fly in to the Iron docks flightpoint. Make sure to stay high up on the higher levels, if you venture down to the bottom you will probebly die faster than you have time to utter a weak "yelp"!

There are ammunniton boxes and barrels scattered around the place, pick up so you have at least 30 ammunition, go to one of the cannons (not the launch ones, the suprise I felt when I was shot out into the middle of the packs instead of shooting at them was something I don't want to experience again). From the safety of the cannon see them orcs fall! Rinse and repeat.

There are elite patrols even at the higher levels sometimes, so be aware where you step. Stealth past, or wait for them to pass.

Should you have a group at hand, make sure to kill all rares, they drop more apexis crystals and gear, and contribute to the daily count. Kiting works if you don't have a tank.

A simple SOLO spot for just grinding kills from 0 to 100%:

This is for those of you who, like me, don't feel like messing around with all of the other various ways to raise your completion bar (picking up ammo, doing things with said ammo, iron stars, etc.)

The non-elite Iron Laborers that are found all over the pit each count for about 1% per kill. However, most of the time they have an elite that patrols around them. The area I'm posting about has MANY Iron Laborers with NO elite patrol; and they respawn very, very quickly.

Coordinates are around 48, 23. I will post a picture of the area on the map as well as a detailed photo of the spot I'm talking about.

2 things to keep in mind: Unless you have invisibility potions or spells, you may need to suicide yourself once to get down here initially (I found this spot by accident after falling off a nearby cliff). Once you get there, the orcs are very easy to kill and you should be able to hit 100% and hearth out in no time (depending on how many mobs your character is able to handle at once, of course).
The other thing is that while there is no elite patrol near these mobs, there ARE elites "nearby", so just be mindful of your surroundings and try to always pull out of the way to the main corner (see second posted image for clarification).
