Trial of Ash

[Dfoley3]

This is the 6th or so quest in the monk (all goodies actualy) faction quests with the order.  After about 20 service of the order quests, you gain kindly and now must grind out kindly to warmly.  Heres the pit fall the mobs u need are buged, rather some of them are Sandcrawler marauders dont update Enlightened desert prophets are ultra rare (only seen them spawn with named heroic groups so PLS tell me if anyone else finds a better spot) Was wondering if anyone could recomend the good 4 groups of mobs to kill for this quest as well as general locs of where they are....as is the 40 or so repeats to go from kindly to warmly might kill me if i  keep experimenting on which mobs are actualy findable and which actualy update. <div></div>

<DIV>Flame twisters I can find everywhere but where are these Flame Tornadoes ?</DIV>

Near the Giants.

[Kaetlyn]

<div></div>Help...would you please fix the pointed marlins so they're soloable as they're supposed to be for this quest?  They're all grouped and heroic encounters...NOT soloable by any means.  This quest on hold for me all because of this <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   Would you fix asap, please?

<div></div>The quest does not need to be on hold for ya Kaetlyn.  Just delete the quest and get it again.  The targets for this quest change every time you get it and you can skip the ones that are a problem.  Kind of the same way you can keep getting writs until you get the one you want to do.

<div>Killing Ashen Disciples is more fun.</div>

[pootski]

Can anyone recommend where a lvl 60 monk can solo ashen disciples for the final max ally run?  Seems I will be needed to kill quite a few hundred of them, and groups of 2 up arrow mobs just takes too dang long, not to mention the 3 arrow heroics.<div></div>

[Crest]

<div>Right by the quest givers there is an area where the ashen disciples are often fighting with the harpies.  You can tag each disciple that is already in a fight an when the harpy gets the kill, you get the faction hit.  No loot and no xps and kinda cheap but it works if you want to solo that faction grind.</div>

[pootski]

<div></div>Tried that.  Tagged 2 disciples, moved a bit away to watch.  Both disciples won, and came over to discuss my annoying them.--Ok, figured out that was a fluke, and the harpies generaly win.  But 180 of them?  Geeze, next expansion will be out and old before I kill 180 disciples.<div></div><p>Message Edited by pootski on <span class="date_text">01-13-2006</span><span class="time_text">07:52 AM</span></p>

<div></div>I just duo them with another Monk.

FIgured it out.  Just go help the harpy till the monk is a sliver of red, then back away.  Couple hours did it.  But that doesn't work for killing the 15, sad to say.  Guess I will have to break down and hydra my templar.<div></div>

[Joechuk]

<div></div><p>I soloed the 15, wasnt too bad.  Just inside T'Narev is a 3 group, 2 disciples and an apprentice.  Gank one disciple, FD.  repeat for other disciple</p><p>A group of 4 up on the first island near the tree of same makeup...  3 discplies 1 apprentice.  You can Devastation fist those suckers too.</p><p>Make sure your heal is up (or Dev Fist), and cast skin like mountain before attacking....</p>
