Description

Now that we've got a good baseline product, we're going to need something of higher quality. Certainly the farahlite we've gathered so far is nice, but I know there's better out there.

We'll have to get a sample directly from Cragskaar, the patriarch of the Farahlon giants! You should be able to find it among the other giants in the Netherstone area. It's got huge pieces of farahlite jutting from its back and that's exactly what we need. Fell the giant and collect a farahlite core from it.

Cragskaar paths around with the other Farahlite Giants (roughly 48, 19). He's killable with just two people, though, like the other giants, he splits into smaller Cragskaar fragments, so you'll want to clear the area to avoid unnecessary adds.

This can be done as a Warlock without kiting with any spec. Enslave the named elite demon at Forge Base Gehenna and use it to tank Crag. Leave the fire attack on autocast but save the AoE ability for when he spawns an add. If you let the demon engauge and fire off two attacks he should maintain aggro the entire fight and you can unload on Crag.
