Most of the posts on this quest seem to indicate you kill the mob after zapping it. This is wrong. If the zapping does not work (i.e mob is non elite and agro'ed on you. keep zapping it till it works (Sometimes it takes four per mob) I'm a druid. I Faerie Fire, then zap it, and if it fails, entangling roots and keep zapping it. 100% rate this way

What to do

StorylineGrizzly Hills, step 93 of 115
RewardsLiberator's Blade, Branch of the Roaming Spirit, Spire of Soaring Rumination, 21g, 5,150 XP

Description

The rock shard you imbued should be powerful enough to break the runic magic binding my brothers. Take it with you and find the runed giants walking north along the Eastwind Shore. Unleash the power stored in the stone and observe the results. If it works, the runed giants should return to their senses and stop obeying the iron dwarves. If the stone fails to work, the giants may attack in a weakened state. But, what choice do we have? If we do not try, they will remain enslaved without hope.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Latent PowerGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    While the runes of compulsion are dormant, there is a chance we can release the runed giants. I will give you a piece of stone that has been part of me since my creation. If properly imbued, it can be used to free the bound giants.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Destroy the SaplingGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The furbolgs' work must be undone, <name>. The best of intentions do not count for much when the result is tainted by such strong a corruption. The sapling must be destroyed, for it is the source of this dark influence.
