Angus Ballaster is in a cellar. Go around the armory and approach from the west to find the entrance.

Comment by ItachiUchiha

Currently bugged. Right after I managed to get past the bird quest.

Comment by emedic1973

Still bugged

Comment by Boxofbeer

To find Angus Ballaster you have to travel to 39.4 31.6 spot.
Angus can be found in the basement, so get in and have a talk.
After dialogue slay incoming mobs to complete the quest.

Comment by Celea

If you can talk to Angus and buy wares off of him, the fight is bugged, and you need to leave and re-enter the subzone in order for the quest to trigger. You'll know this happens when he has a dialogue option, and mobs come in to attack.

Comment by MoarHeroisms

If Angus doesn't have a chat bubble and isn't engaged in combat, leave and reenter the subzone which should reload him.

Comment by staynight

If you left the cellar too quickly, the ambush won't trigger. Go back in, talk to Angus again, and wait until the NPCs charge in and turn hostile.

Comment by Seeathis

I only seem to have success with this quest when I don't attack until Angus actually begins attacking the adds.

Comment by ownasaur

can confirm that letting ballaster auto attack the mobs first allowed completion of quest.

Comment by curledlizard

Go down the cellar /way 24.51, 37.28 speak to the guy with the chat bubble and then wait for the bad guys. Turn in back at Corlaine.

Comment by Nyphsy

I was having some issues with this quest and the witches not spawning - I accepted the quest from Yorrick, ran up the cellar to reload, and ran back down. (I did this two or three times I think.) It seems Yorrick's dialogue might be what triggers the witches to spawn.

Links

A Steady Ballast

Find Angus Ballaster at the Corlain Armory.

	Angus Ballaster found (1)
	Defeat the coven ambush (1)

Description

The Armory presents us a ripe opportunity, <class>... one I suggest we take. If this battle were to draw out, we have little means to repair our arms and armor. A blacksmith is invaluable to any war effort, and Ballaster is one of our best. The Armory is but a short ride from here. I suggest you get to Ballaster before it's too late!
