TheWoWDBI just came here to say: to hell with this quest and its competitive, low spawn, mob-camped resupply crates.
It wouldn't be so bad if there were more crates, more often. Or, if there weren't mobs that interrupt you picking up, right next to the crates, so someone else can swoop in and steal it. Or, you know, if there was a point to this quest other than completion and 3 tokens. But this garbage is very frustrating.
Also be careful about using stealth when you have flares, it can knock the quest item off your quickslot, and then you have to reload to get back into the quest.

Grab the flare, look up. You're going to be targeting a gargoyle-looking monster. Click said target, launch flare, kill. Target will fly down to you.
Expect to be here awhile. spawn rate seems to be 1 or 2 popping in every few minutes. ridiculous.

This forward camp relies heavily on our supply line from the tournament grounds. A recent shipment was attacked while in transit through the valley below us. Salvage what you can, and if possible, eliminate the threat so this does not happen again.
