The mobs start at 62, 22 and are all elites. Almost all are single pulls and could probably be soloed, I would not recommend it. Its a lot of mobs and most have 24k hps+. Firegrom is really no different from any of the battle mages, just named. Pretty simple, just long if you solo.

Fingrom can be found on the first floor (i.e., one level above the ground floor) of the building at 66,20. Simply climb up the incline and enter the room. The room is occupied by Fingrom and one Bladespire Enforcer.

Description

You've proven yourself resourceful, and now I think I'm going to put you to personal use in my own fight against Gruul and his sons. The Bladespire clan are the favored of the gronn, and while you may have thinned out their numbers elsewhere, you haven't yet dealt with their strongest. Gruul protects the exterior of his lair with only the toughest of ogres, and it is those that you must kill. Head north through the Daggermaw Canyon and you will find Gruul's Lair at the end.
