Scourges

General Information

Scourges are very powerful enemies that terrorize the wilderness along with their allies. They are generally intended for groups of various sizes. Currently, Scourges are found in the Plateau of Gorgoroth, Eryn Lasgalen and the Dale-lands, Ered Mithrin Resource Instances, and Mordor Besieged.

In characteristics, they combine aspects of Warbands and Roving Threats. Like Warbands, most Scourges travel with allies, and mitigate most of their incoming damage until those allies are defeated. Like Roving Threats, most appear at locations chosen randomly at the daily quest reset time from a few possible spots.

Scourge defeats are rewarded by landscape quests, which are bestowed to any appropriately-levelled character who gets close to the Scourge. (Note: the quest must be accepted and the character must contribute damage or assistance in some form before the Scourge falls in order to receive rewards!) The reset period for these quests varies by region.

A few other tidbits about Scourges:

Scourges are open tapping enemies, meaning that any player who contributes to the defeat of the Scourge can receive credit.
Scourges take about five (5) minutes to respawn once defeated.
