i bet that if someone kills magmothregar before you, you can stick the banner in him anyway, i hope.

Comment by 166755

I am a Dwarf Hunter. I had problems surviving the trip down to Magmothregar. I was constantly aggroing all kinds of mobs and dying. I read about Priests floating down through the hole in the roof, right on top of him. So. I went to Gadgetzan and got some Noggenfogger. I stood at the hole in the roof and kept hitting the Noggenfogger till I got the 20 sec float buff and jumped. Killed Magmothregar and fought my way up, doing an escort quest I got at the bottom. Had very few attacks on the way up. Maybe because of the escort. BTW, I didn't know it was water down below until after I landed. Prob did not have to worry about it in the first place. But, I will keep this technique in mind for the future.

Confirmed, I tried this today, no potions or anything. Just jump down the hole right on top of him. You land straight in the middle of the water and take no damage. Saves a lot of time since respawn times are so fast here you will end up fighitng most of the monsters twice if you take the long way down. To get to the hole go to the entrance of the cave and bear right. Travel along the edge of the hill until there is a path up.

Comment by Kendaran

you only have to go to Crafty Wobblesprocket for a new banner

Comment by 301182

Don't forget to get the escort quest when you jump in! It'll be right by the exit

Comment by Petrov

Available after completing Plan B.

Damn you Alliance framing us Hordies!.................... D:

Comment by 332133

Okay, after killing him multiple times and being unable to put the banner on him, I finally searched the internet and found out:

1. Put on the costume, doesn't matter if you jump in the hole or go down the ramps.
2. Kill Magmothregar (pretty easy with my 71 pally)
3. Take off your costume (right click on it's picture left of your mini-map, in case you didn't know how)
4. Try to place the banner, if you can cool, if you can't then put the costume back on.
5. Place the banner, it should work now if it didn't when you took your costume off.

I seriously killed him 15 times before i finally found out the ways to do this, it's buggy, but 4 or 5 should work.

Comment by 172996

1. Wear costume
2. Kill Magmothregar
3. Target dead body and click on banner
4. ......
5. Profit

I tried taking off my costume and it said to put it back on before I placed the banner. Just wear the costume until you place the banner, then take it off and get the escort quest.

Comment by 336095

If u go to the air strip and up to the matter transporter thingo u can get a parachute to help u float down to the bottom...
the only problem is getting off the rock in the sky were u get there parachute

Comment by 339453

Not sure why, but for the banner to actually plant you have to click on Magmothregar first, then click on the banner.

Comment by Praxicleus

I'm not sure if there's a work around, but this sucked as a feral druid.

Can't wear the disguise in form, and don't have any mana or spell power to kill him. :(

Comment by taurenmoo812

It doesn't matter if allys try to frame the orcs (doesn't surprise they would need to go to those lengths), because even if they attacked the orcs, they'd die, and then the horde would pwn those smelly little gnomes base into the ground.

And at least we don't pollute the water like those munchkins do.

Comment by Kabi

So its alliance fault that they killed one of our far seers

Comment by sofar

concerning "it was the orc's, honest" quest....i tried to plant the banner 4 times before I realized that you have to loot the guy, THEN LEFT CLICK HIS BODY....then you wont have any trouble planting the banner. Boy do I feel stupid. :{

Comment by badassnewbie

works just fine for me.
1. put on costume (combat and mounts don't break disguise)
2. bash everyone's heads in
3. plant banner
4. ?
5. Profit

Comment by gamerunknown

Anyone else notice the massive orc shoulders?

Comment by 445357

Crafty, you can repay me by giving me one of these awesome quest rewards.

Comment by Gamerguy

I like how it made my Gnome Rogue instantly taller.

Comment by rbuffetta

Start the escort quest Get Me Outa Here! before killing and planting the banner in Magmothregar. He has a quick respawn timer.

Comment by akro

isn't it stupid with an orc mask on an orc face? :)

Comment by Incurable

Anywhere in the center of the pool around Magmothregar is deep enough to not crater when you hit it. You can also just drop straight off the ledge onto the ground outside of the water, I took about 60% damage jumping off and ran in and killed Magmo straight away.

Comment by Jortiradan

I just completed this quest and the reputation I received was with Valiance Vanguard, not Valiance Expedition. I am still 1 point away from revered with Expedition.

Comment by 43753

Holy Moley! You did it! Alright, now those pesky magnataur and their snobold flunkies should turn their attentions on the Horde.

(Seriously? All that for some lame-ass greens...?)

How can I ever repay you Syde?

Syde: By never... EVER... asking me to do something for you again...

Geez, I must've quested for this damn Gnome for three hours... And what does she give me? Junk.

Comment by Officer

Found a quite funny glitch. You can use moonkin or tree form while wearing this without losing the buff. Then go outside and mount up, again, without losing moonkin/tree form - so when you fly away and the buff wears off, you're suddently a mounted moonkin/tree of life :)
Caution though, when logging, make sure you're not 2 gazillion miles in the air, cause you will not be mounted when logging in ;)
- Edit: Submitting screenies :)

Comment by 929869

Dear fellow druids, make sure you're not shapeshifted when you put on the costume, otherwise the banner placement won't count. I had to go back and kill him again cause I didn't realize this.

Otherwise, the quest was pretty straight forward. I flew in through the hole in the top of the cave and was able to get over to the side of the pool before it switched me out of bird mode. The Magmothregar was easy enough to kill, but on the way back up with the escort quest I got swamped and not only did my escort get killed, but I got killed as I was running toward the entrance. It might be worth fighting your way down to clear the way a bit for the trip back up.

It Was The Orcs, Honest! http://youtu.be/_eEA1nNzM4o

Comment by Takata

I went in, killed Magmothregar, saw the gnome, escorted him up, was about to leave then realized I didn't plant the banner so I had to go back down, lol.

Comment by KingGoopla

For some reason I found Magmothregar on top of the cave.

Comment by Orwell42

When you accept the quest you will get Crafty's Sack in your bag. Click to open that so you receive both the Disguise & the Banner. Use Disguise & kill Magmothregar (doesn't matter which you do first). Then plant the Banner. Quest Done! ^.^

Comment by Walgeon

He spawned ON TOP of the cave.
As soon as I killed him he went back into the cave.

So if you're looking and cant find him look above.
Very strange

Links

It Was The Orcs, Honest!

While disguised as a Warsong orc, plant the Warsong Banner in the corpse of Magmothregar. Then, return with the disguise to Crafty Wobblesprocket at Fizzcrank Airstrip.

	Warsong Banner Planted in Magmothregar (1)
	Warsong Orc Disguise (1)

Provided item:

	Crafty's Sack (1)

Description

With all of those outfits you, er, recovered, I fashioned a Warsong orc disguise. I had the genius idea of combining it with some old stuff that I had left hanging around from last Hallows' End, so it should be foolproof!

Here, in this sack is the disguise and the banner you recovered. Head down into the bowels of Magmoth and slay the magnataur chieftain, Magmothregar.

If you're going to convince them to turn their attention on the Warsong orcs, you'll need to plant the banner while disguised.
