xWoW#10 - Sons of Hodir Quest Chain
The Problem: Hi When doing quest - Mending Fences (kill Fjorn and 5 Stormforged Iron Ginats) i killed 3 giants usng the boulders to call the Earthborn Ironbane. Then killed Fjorn. Once he was dead, using the boulders no longer called the Ironbane so no assistance to kill the giants despite having 2 more to kill.
How it should work: I am unsure if you should kill 5 giants before Fjorn, but i have never seen this happen part way through where the boulder no longer works. But i haven't played retail so unsure of the proper process.
How it does work: Apart from the problem stated the quest seems to work fine. I obviously cannot check now if killing 5 giants first will work, so not sure if killing Fjorn is the actual cause.
How to reproduce: Get someone on the quest, kill 1, 2 or 3 giants, kill Fjorn then try giants again. They probably won't die.
Tested this report today, unfortunately I am not able to reproduce, as long as I've got a Granite Boulder in my inventory I can summon the Earthen Ironbanes to assist me with the giants even after defeating Fjorn.
What I tested was :
1. Pick-up Granite Boulder -> Use Thorim's Charm of Earth on Stormforged Giant #1 -> Kill it while assisted by the Earthen Ironbanes
2.Pick-up Granite Boulder -> Use Thorim's Charm of Earth on Stormforged Giant #2 -> Kill it while assisted by the Earthen Ironbanes
3.Pick-up Granite Boulder -> Use Thorim's Charm of Earth on Stormforged Giant #3 -> Kill it while assisted by the Earthen Ironbanes
4. Pick-up Granite Boulder -> Use Thorim's Charm of Earth on Fjorn -> Kill him while assisted by the Earthen Ironbanes
5.Pick-up Granite Boulder -> Use Thorim's Charm of Earth on Stormforged Giant #4 -> Kill it while assisted by the Earthen Ironbanes
6.Pick-up Granite Boulder -> Use Thorim's Charm of Earth on Stormforged Giant #5 -> Kill it while assisted by the Earthen Ironbanes
I even went further beyond and killed all the Stormforged Giants laying around by always using the quest item beforehand, everything seemed fine.
I will leave the report open for now, maybe someone else having the same issue as you can chime in and open my eyes as to what's wrong.
