Just did this quest as a lvl 80 druid. Killed the multiple Enraged Foulweald with ease, and thought that the quest had bugged. It took nearly thirty full seconds before Murgut appeared. If he doesn't come out, don't give up for a bit!

Comment by Solarax

This is the Alliance Only version of the quest.

Comment by 423555

The player is disguised as a furbolg, so how can this guy tell what race it is?

Comment by 573890

Do not use skills like Stealth or Prowl between the kills, you'll have to plant the banner again and start over.

Comment by lehearts

It took us ~ 2:00 minutes for him to show up. I thought the quest was bugged. But we sat there patiently. He eventually showed up. Late though!

This has vastly changed from the old quest. Do NOT go to the location of the old quest, as it has changed to a new spot. You'll have to kill a couple of level 23 or 24 mobs to get to the "totem mound", which is just a rock at 56.4, 63.6 (check the zone map out, Blizz has a quest waypoint there) surrounded by totem logs, a campfire, etc.

Once you plant the banner, a total of about seven lvl 23 or 24 mobs will run towards the "mound" to battle you. They come one at a time, probably 15 to 20 seconds apart. When they're all dead, you may have to wait a while for Chief Murgut to appear. Kill and loot him, and you're done.

Comment by edjon2000

Hmm I guess I was fortunate Thanks the coordinates were great and the vein of tin ore was still there thanks to TheR0nin and LuvMyLock .

I was able to complete this quest as a lvl 26 Worgen Feral Druid without too much difficulty just used cat form and a lot of use of Mangle Rake and Ferocious Bite I said I think I was fortunate as I was only attacked by about 4 lvl 24's the fifth one charged then disappeared, then had quite a wait before the Chief turned up I hope this helps a few others attempting this quest :)

Comment by dehve

Sorry I can't be more specific as to the exact spot, but DO NOT stand on top of the mound when you summon the banner! It spawned right on top of me, and I couldn't move until after the encounter, when it despawned again! Now why couldn't they have just made it non-solid? : /

Funnily enough, while I was waiting for it to go away, a tin vein spawned in the exact same spot, and my camera ended up inside *that* as well! Good thing I'm a miner!

Comment by 386288

Funny because King of the Foulweald requires lvl 19 and the chain start quest Dryad Delivery requires lvl 21 :| so a 20 level tank can't start it...

Comment by squishy

*sigh*

I've had the rod since vanilla. Finally working on my loremaster and handed in this quest since the posts here say it's safe up until the next quest.

But what has not been updated is the info about the rod being changed to item number 46739 - only works in Ashenvale.

Yeah, I'm exalted with Timbermaw and can buy Stave of Fur and Claw, but the hour cool down sucks. :(

If you have the old rod, don't turn in any more quests. They'll steal the good rod and give you the crap one.

hey guys im new in wowhead and i need your help.
i cant find anywhere this quest if anyone can help me please tell me i really need this finger!
u can tell me the name of the questgiver and who is near him

Comment by Takata

A few things with this quest...First, the mound you have to place the flag on is not glowing like you would expect to see in other quests that have you "activate" stuff. Its just a big rock in the middle of the camp that's surrounded by logs. If you find the big rock, place the flag down. I fought about ten enraged foulweads or whatever they were called before the chieftain arrived. Also, you won't be able to target the banner so you won't see how much hp it has. I ended up waiting a bit before the chieftain arrived to.

Comment by OceanLady

If you kill the furbolgs really quickly, there is quite a delay between when they stop attacking and when murgut appears. I thought it had glitched, but while I was looking up this article to see if I'd missed something, he appeared.

Comment by Marumain

The Greenpaw Belt that you can get from this quest WOULD make a great piece of gear for a F2P Holy Paladin, but unfortunately, this requires you to complete Playing Possum, which itself requires you to be level 21. This mean those with F2P accounts who can only level up to 20 are locked out from doing that quest, and hence this quest as well...

Comment by LanceofAbel

It's funny, because while dear old Krolg claims Murgut sold out his own kind, there's a Horde version of this quest that runs the same course, with you killing him at the end. Maybe someone forgot what happened, but it certainly gives more gravitas to this quest if Murgut did sell the furbolg to the Horde to save his own hide, despite the contradiction.

Comment by Sembiance

It took over 2 full minutes before the King appeared for me, so be patient. Near the end I started letting the attackers get a few attacks in on the banner, instead of killing them instantly from afar. Not sure if that helped bring the king or not.

Comment by Laiskuri

Took me 17 Enraged Foulweald kills and ~3 minutes to get to the boss (Chief Murgut).

Comment by TheSkullpitter

This quest is a fantastic exercise in psychological horror. After you place the banner, Phase One begins. In Phase One every furbolg that currently exists in the entire world will attack you, one by one, over the course of seventeen years. Once that's done, in Phase Two, every furbolg that has ever existed shows up, still in single-file, and you have to kill them too. Then there's more furbolgs. Once you start wondering if you've ever been doing anything but fighting furbolgs on this hill, Phase Three begins: the chief shows up and you can kill him, and then you can "leave." But a part of you will always still be on that hill, fighting furbolgs, all the furbolgs, all the time, forever. Enjoy Phase Four!

Comment by DarthOpto

The hill is in the middle of the camp between two totem poles. 56.39,63.52 took about 2 and a half minutes for me for the King to show up.

Comment by Tyraelsvoid

This is bugged as of Shadowlands Pre-Patch. Spent over ten minutes with an infinite number of enraged firbolgs attacking the mound with the chief never appearing.

Comment by Phosera

If having problem on this quest in Shadowlands prepatch, try to kill the enraged furbolgs at least 5 yards away from the flag.

Comment by insomni4c

Let the Enraged Foulweald hit the banner first, then kill them, otherwise the quest bugs out.

Comment by fantasi89

As of 03/11-20, can confirm this is still buggy.

I let the furlbolgs attack the banner, used soft foam sword on them, and let them melee me 3-5 times before i killed them.

I am level 50 and I had Warmode enabled, and I attempted this for 10 minutes. He did not spawn.

I went to astranaar, disabled warmode and went back to the questspot after abandoning and picking up the quest again.

A level 16 horde was doing the quest, so I killed his Chief Murgut and got the quest completed.

Comment by Pringled

Shadowlands Pre-Patch bug - what worked for me was to allow the furbolgs to attack the flag for a little before I engaged them. I mounted a flying mount and hovered about the flag between kills. I had to do this 3 or 4 ties before the chief turned up. If you are too close then the Enraged Foulwealds will attack you instead of the flag causing the flag to despawn (due to inactivity?)

Comment by NightKane

If your higher level add Soft Foam Sword to your toy collection. Plant banner on mound, wait until timer for banner being destroyed pops up and then strike using foam sword. Finish that mob off and then wait for next one and do over. I believe on 3rd kill the Chief appeared.

Comment by Oneironaut9

Can confirm this quest is still a bit buggy in Shadowlands. I abandoned the quest, waited a few days (and the weekly reset), picked it up again, and then finished it with no problem. You might just need to abandon and come back later if you are having problems.

Comment by Aukemaf

Since it bugged in shadowlands Pre-patch i just put my pets on passive as hunter and kept wacking them with the foam sword. eventually spawnt the chief :) (level 44)

Comment by Koviko

I killed exactly 50xEnraged Foulwealds before Chief Murgut spawned. It took about 6 minutes, overall, but he did spawn right after the 50th kill. I respawned the banner once during the wait as it disappeared a few minutes in. And, for the last 10 kills, I allowed the Furbolgs to melee me right next to the flag instead of killing them before they reached the mound.

Were I a more patient man, I'd go test and see exactly what conditions make him spawn. All I can say for sure is that the quest still works. And, as Krolg warned, it's a LONG fight.

Comment by dsylxeypanda

THIS WORK! 100% FOLLOW THIS, U GOTTA USE THE TOY "" and only that, u gotta get the mobs low on HP to make it count, use that sword twice = kill it, I did this i n less then 1 min ENJOY !^^

Comment by Sydaelin

As of today, with a level 60 Shadowpriest:

Let each enraged Foulweald attack the banner once so you see the emote text that they've done so, then it's safe to kill them. Did this, banner didn't despawn, and chief appeared in no time at all.

Comment by lakelly

Spent a half hour trying every method suggested in these comments with no luck. I think the proper solution is for Blizzard to actually fix this quest. Will try again after reset.

Comment by Brightstarz

As of 9.0.5 and after testing for well over 3 hours, I have no idea what's causing the banner to despawn. After all of that time, I could only spawn Chief Murgut around 20 times.

I tried pulling an Enraged Foulweald away, placing the banner, then running away with the foulweald or standing next to the banner. Neither worked consistently. I tried placing the banner, then killing each Foulweald before they could cast Destroy Banner, which didn't work consistently. Even if there wasn't an enraged foulweald standing on the mound before the banner is placed, I still couldn't consistantly spawn Chief Murgut.

The only way that I've managed to kill Chief Murgut consistently (more than 5 times in a row) was by alternating between a strategy of
1. Using the Soft Foam Sword when the Fouldweald have begun casting Destroy Banner, letting them attack 5 times, killing them, and repeating until the chief spawns.
2. Killing every Enraged Foulweald before they can begin to cast Destroy Banner.

For whatever reason, this alternating strategy works far less effectively if the event wasn't successful the previous time. If you want to complete the quest, unfortunately, it's extremely random and may take anywhere from your first try to several tries later, which really adds up due to the 2 minute cooldown on the banner.

TL;DR: Multiple variables are affecting whether the banner despawns or is destroyed, so it's impossible to complete this quest on the first try consistently. Fortunately, you can brute-force this event if you experiment with how you protect the banner, but that means this may take anywhere from 1 minute 30 seconds to 30 minutes, just depending on luck. So, for those of you trying to complete this quest, good luck!

Comment by NikNovi

Pringled's method worked for me.

Place the flag and mount and get in the air (2-3 meters only). When a new enraged furbolg comes, let him attack the flag first and then dismount and kill him. Then mount again and get back in the air.

After 5-6 furbolgs the Chief will appear.

Comment by Rubysage

As you can imagine, this quest is still horribly janky. What worked for me was something mentioned farther down. Use the Foam Sword on the first furbolg or get it low, don't let it touch the flag. Then just sit there and wait on the hill. Don't kill the furbolg, let it wail on you endlessly. The flag actually stayed and after about a minute Chief Murgut spawned.

Comment by Greggy

As of today 9/24/2021 - This quest is still bugged. Tried everything possible and even after 5-10 minutes of constant killing, he still didn't show up.

Comment by Darkwalker

As of 25 SEP 2021, this quest is still buggy. I tried it a few different times before checking this out to give me any hints. I tried most of them, but to no success in completing the quest. I was doing this on my level 35 Night Elf Fire Mage.
I abandoned the quest, went back to Krolg to get it again, and then tried the quest a couple more times.
I put down the banner disguised as a firbolg, and then waited. I had Blazing Barrier up most of the time, and just let the Firbolgs attack me and kill themselves.
I was standing on the end of the log at 56.4, 63.2. A few of the Firbolgs did decide to attack the flag, and I let the destroy banner meter get to about half way before taking them out with Fire Blast.
After about 4-5 rounds of this, the Chief did show up, and I was able to take him out.

Comment by AnkerJym

This quest seems to be easier to do on a Rogue right now. What I just did as a level 37 Rogue was plant the banner, Stealth and back away a bit, let a Furbolg hit the banner once, then kill it. Once dead, Stealth and back away again, and rinse and repeat. Took about 90 seconds for the Chief to spawn.

Comment by Bevina

Having tried the various suggestions for completing this quest with no success. I went and spoke to Zidormi just outside of Lor'danel to go back to an earlier time and that worked for me.

Comment by Adanos

Finished this quest on build 9.1.0 08/10/2021, level 30, outside of Chromie Time.
Use Dartols Rod to transform into a Furbolg, Plant the Banner (seems to stick around longer than if you just plan the banner)
Then don't stand on the hill and kill the never ending wave of Furbolgs... pull them down the bottom
I'm not sure if either of that made a difference, but we got Chief Murgut to spawn and finished the quest.
Also note, when we came across the mound nobody previously has started the event.

King of the Foulweald

Place the Bloodtooth Banner on the Foulweald Totem Mound. Do not let the furbolgs destroy the banner before their chief arrives. Defeat Chief Murgut.

	Chief Murgut slain (1)

Provided item:

	Bloodtooth Banner (1)

Description

I care little for who you are, <race>. What I do care about is the salvation of the furbolg.

Take this Bloodtooth tribe banner a short ways northeast into Greenpaw Village and place it upon their totem mound. They will consider this an act of aggression and try to destroy the banner. Hold your ground until their chief, Murgut, appears to save face for the tribe, then kill the traitor!

Govern your strength wisely, friend, you're in for a long fight.
