How does one actually capture these towers? just by sitting inside or ... ?

Kommentar von 37739

Horrible. There were no Horde around at all, and all 4 towers were already controlled by the Alliance. I had come back a few hours later and do it.

I don't know if there's a timed reset, as I was out of the zone for the whole time, but if there isn't, it should be added.

I've noticed something that I'd like to point out to people doing this quest.

On my server, nobody actually attempts these as a real PvP objective. I don't remember that ever being done. But now, they're very rarely bothered with. However, once in a while, somebody comes along trying to get back at the opposite faction or piss them off and AFKs in a tower to get it fully aligned with their faction. This can hurt your faction, as it makes towers harder to get for the oppossing faction, thus HARDER TO GET BACK for your faction. It'll make quests a lot longer and a lot more difficult for your fellow Hordies or Allies. Just don't do it.

You can't accomplish this while stealthed :|

Kommentar von Shiznet

10 - 15 minutes? No, it does not take that long at all. 6mins tops. Easy quest as long as there's no pvp'ing going on. Often 60+ Horde seen around the towers.

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those of us who haven't done pvp before, can someone please explain how this works? Do the towers need to occupied by the opposing faction to be able to capture them?

Cheers

You must be pvp flagged in order to capture a tower. You cannot get credit for capture unless it was neutral or controlled by opposing faction. A progress bar will appear. EPL map shows the four towers and who controls them.

Is it possible to "capture" a tower, which is already captured by your own faction? Do towers automatically turn neutral after a while? Or is there another way to finish the quest when all towers are already captured?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Go to the tower controlled by the Horde. You must be /pvp and wait 5 minutes before you officially capture the tower. Stay inside the tower, at least that is my suggestion and how I did it. I soloed these and it was quite easy. IF Alliance does not own all the towers, and you capture one, a spetral griffon master appears when the tower is captured and you can take a spectral griffon to the tower of your choice. All I did was go inside, /pvp and a bar appears that shows you the progress of the capture, and it takes 5 minutes of waiting for it to be captured. Then I /pvp again to toggle it off and waited 5 minutes for my pvp flag to drop. Pretty easy if you ask me, especially during the early morning hours when hardly anyone is on and defending. I would imagine it's the same for the Horde because I saw their griffon master also in front of the tower before I captured it. He disappears when you /pvp and wait the alloted time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If the tower is already part of your faction you need only go inside and /pvp yourself. A bar will show up, wait the alotted time and the tower is yours.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I went /pvp and stayed in tower for few mins and then i saw these lordaeron soldiers at the front... does this mean I've almost captured the tower?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Stealth stops the timer.

Kommentar von Thottbot

this quest is great! all u do is ist in a tower for 5 min while flagged. nobody really cares if u capture the tower so its a win win. ez quest

Kommentar von Thottbot

You get no credit if its neutral or owned by your faction, wait till the oposing faction takes it then take it yourself, only way it gave me any credit for the quest objectives.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You most definitely CAN capture a neutral tower. I went in, sat down and waited til the bar moved into the blue area and I got the whoopdeedo of success. Did this with two towers. However, the other two were already alliance controlled. Sat in one for over 15 mins until the bars moved all the way to the end and nothing.

I am not sure, but I think what you have to do is wait OUTSIDE the area of influence for the bar to migrate back into the grey, then go back in and it should work. But I ran out of patience.

Kommentar von Thottbot

...

Kommentar von Thottbot

apparently, you only get credit if you are in the tower at the moment it moves to blue. I walked into one tower when it was neutral RIGHT as it shifted into blue (some other guy had been sitting there a while) and got the quest credit, and then went to another one and killed the two horde that were sitting there over and over until the tower moved to neutral and then alliance, but I guess since I was outside of the tower when it shifted to blue, I got the notification at the bottom of the window that it had been captured by the alliance and NO quest credit. Either it's bugged, or you have to be inside at the exact moment.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Probably easy enough after server reset .. if you can be first one there.

Kommentar von Thottbot

FOR THOSE WHO ARE ROGUES- you cannot capture the tower if you are in stealth!

Kommentar von Thottbot

took the three first towers at plaguewood the griffin master was there, i went in with pvp on, but no bar popped up. But after a while (probably the usual time) it turned grey, and viola quest comleted

Kommentar von Thottbot

Everybody should be aware that there's a 50/50 chance that the tower-control slider may be at it's max, either way, expect to be at each tower for quite awhile. The slider moves somewhere in the area of one increment per minute and each increment is so miniscule.

Those curious about Honor Points, I unfortunately netted a whole 18 points per tower captured .

Kommentar von Thottbot

When you capture the first tower, the Eastwall tower, a group of level 60 spectral soldiers appears to escort you to the Northpass tower. When you capture the Northpass tower you get "the blessing of Lordaeron" or whatever the horde one is, 5% bonus to life for 30 minutes. At the Plaguewood tower, a spectral griffon master appears and takes you to the tower of your choice, which should be the Crown Guard tower at this point. Nothing special seemed to happen at the Crown Guard tower.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just solo'd this as a lvl57 Warlock. Captured all four towers which give a total of 756 bonus honor and 6600xp. There is no 'extra' honor when you capture and have all four towers yourself. Took me about 35 mins to get all. Started at Eastern tower and worked my way up, then took the ghost gryphon back to eastern and went to crown.

ps. yes, this on a pvp server (Laughing Skull)

The tower has to be controlled by the opposing faction. If the tower is grey it won't count for the quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just another trick from Blizzard to take your money by making you wait for some stupid towers.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Kind of annoying, when the alliance always controls these towers and so it's impossible for me to switch it from horde to alli.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

To all the Paladins on PvP server who have done thier Epic Mount quests, be very glad you did.

The section "Exorcising Terrordale" (Der Exorzismus des Schreckenstals is about 3 feet away from the West Tower. The quest can be done solo. On a PvP server where the Horde hold that tower, good luck. You might need a good amount of people to cover your back and DPS down those mobs very quickly to get out of there, fast. :P

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It seems whenever I'm in EPL (which is often since I'm trying to empty out my log of the quests from there) the towers area all already claimed by my side (Alliance). Is there an ammount of time that it resets so that I can go claim it or do I have to wait around until a Horde person decides to make a go at one of them?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i tested this in a pve server so in a pvp server there is no need to open your pvp.
first u enter a controlled tower (get in the tower and stay somewhere inside :D)
then open your pvp flag by /pvp
type /join localdefense (if u dont have that channel). This will bring up tower count, battle map and a progress bar of your tower which u are waiting inside.
This will help u when capturing a tower.
For example if ur alliance: u start to wait,and wait, wait, wait and wait more to turn horde controlled to challenged (like the GYs of AV but here u just only wait.) then u wait wait wait and wait wait wait to change it alliance. When u change it to alliance then u gain 189 honor. and if ur on quest it says hurra! u ve captured the xxx tower (xxx u name it :P)
well if u insist waiting u gain honor per some time but sorry i didnt have that patience. whenever u captured one u can move to the next. its auto progressing.
when u complete q at 60 it only gives money. no rep no bonus honor. nothing except 4g.
the plaguewood tower has spectral griff u can use it to reach other towers quickly. northpoint tower has a 30 min % 5 sta buff.
1,2,3 towers in possession gives u %1,2,3 melee + ranged + spell dmg respectively
when u have 4 towers its % 5

well hope this helps a bit. have fun with capturing and blessed patience :P

edit: i forgot to mention. there was no followup for the q at the time of this post.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So..anyone able to drop a hint?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Do you get any more quests or anything cept the 4G?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you are not on a PvP server, you will need to turn your PvP on to capture the tower. A progress meter will be displayed on the right side of your screen. I would suggest staying until the bar is all the way on your side, this will make the opposing side take longer to take control of the tower.

Kommentar von grandpamoore

does anyone know if there is a subtle timer (CD) on the bonus honor received? me and a horde (Ozuma) friend are trying to push the h/ph atleast for him however he received 189 honor twice. - Mirage-raceway (CLASSIC)

Kommentar von kurtalp

I believe its bugged, I killed alliance soldiers as enha, took half way to horde, and instantly it turned to blue and ally soldiers respawned

Kommentar von JuniorTank

I would like to have a heated exchange of words with who designed this quest.

Kommentar von rezzax

So, Northpass Tower was 100% complete on horde, and I stayed until it went to alliance and didn't get credit on the quest so decided to wait it out so that it would be 100% on alliance, still no credit. Classic Era EU. Very annoying :(
Was the same with Plaguewood Tower
I didn't bother with Crown Guard tower because it was also 100% Horde.

Eastwall tower was just barely on horde side and got credit for that tower

Kommentar von Rockerbente

Hi,

It seems to be bugged.
Most of the times you do not get credit for waiting.
I think it might be if the tower is "in progress" from either side.
I have been triying for weeks and have only gotten two of them so far.

This morning I managed to get North tower. I noticed that Horde NPCs were stationed there.
After that, I tried both Plaugetown and Crown tower. No horde npcs and I did not get credit for those two.

So do not bother trying if the towers are in "progress" mode. It's a waste of time.

Kommentar von willthisregister

Season of discovery experiment. as of February 5th 2024 towers are either deactivated or you cannot shift control over time while level 25.
unsure if towers inactive or control shifting requires a minimum level.
