Completing Aiding the Eastemnet will cancel this quest Complete the first objective by riding to the large rock southwest of Cliving at [47.1S, 57.7W] You then have 3 minutes to complete Objective #2, which is to hit each of the banners in the order listed. When you near an objective banner, a spear toss button box will appear. While this button box will appear when you near any banner, it will only work if you are near the next banner in your list. The spear toss button box will disappear within approximately 5 seconds. To make the button box reappear, you must leave the area of the banner and then return. Which of the 3 buttons that appear is determined by the amount of fury of your warsteed at the time.

Click a button in the button box to launch a spear: Accurate Spear-toss You take your time and aim at the target. You are sure to hit it. Requires between 0 and 500 Fury Spear-toss You throw the spear at the target. Your odds of striking it are roughly even. Requires between 501 and 750 Fury Quick Spear-toss You quickly throw the spear in the direction of the target. It is not likely to strike. Requires between 751 and 1,000 Fury If you are not comfortable with mounted combat, you can simply ride close up to each banner as indicated by the quest pointer; stop, then use the Quick Spear-toss from stationary and it should hit every time. This is not easy if at level with the surrounding mobs however.

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'It saddens me to see what has become of the Norcrofts. The farms where we once proudly grew our food are now overrun by Orcs and foul creatures, yet we are told to stay within the gates of the city and to not engage them. 'The Enemy has placed shields on banners at four farms just to the south of here. While I cannot ask you to defeat the Orcs, we are not disallowed from defiling their flags. There is a rock south of Cliving. Just north of that rock, the four farms are spread out. 'Take this spear. When you get near the banner, ready it, then throw it with all of your might. Be warned: the faster you are moving, the more likely you are to miss the shield....but you must also be quick. The Orcs will replace the shields swiftly, and I wish them all to be ripped at once.' Background South of Cliving, several shields have been placed on banners of the Enemy planted around former farmhouses. Objective 1 Enter the field The rock is south of Cliving. Gladsnel asked you to throw a spear through several shields on Orc-banners planted at Norcrofts farms. Objective 2 Hit the north banner's shield Hit the east banner's shield Hit the west banner's shield Hit the south banner's shield Hit all of the shields rapidly The four farms are spread out to the north, east, and west of the rock. Gladsnel asked you to throw a spear through four shields on Orc-banners. You have struck the north banner's shield You have struck the east banner's shield You have struck the west banner's shield You have struck the south banner's shield Objective 3 Talk to Gladsnel Gladsnel is in Cliving. Gladsnel will be pleased to hear that a spear was thrown through each of the four shields. Gladsnel: 'While we cannot strike directly at the Orcs, we can continue to damage their morale.'
