Despite being elite, you can do this quest solo easily (and at an early level), as long as you have some patience. Around Frostwhisper Gorge, you should find two or three crystal formations just outside aggro range of the elite giants (usually visible from the road). Grab crystals from those formations, then wait on a respawn. You can also follow high level Alliance players into the gorge, as they have a reputation quest to kill the giants. Just use the crystal formations that they conveniently clear away for you.

This is an easy quest in the upper 50's, because this place is farmed a lot, and even if it's not clear, it's extremely easy to get these without aggro.

The quest is worth 6600 xp. Here are the locations for some of the Shards (courtesy bugnaz):

North side of the Bridge:
59,64 (down the main pathway into the chasm).
61,65 (to the South-West of the start of the bridge as you head South).
63,66 (to the South-East of the start of the bridge as you head South).

South side of the Bridge:
60,71 (to the South-West after you have crossed the bridge heading South. There is a level 59 "Rabid Shardtooth" bear to deal with here).
61,72 (to the South-West after you have crossed the bridge heading South. There is a Frostmaul Giant here but it is grab-able).

From either side of the Bridge:
65,70 (from heading South before you cross the bridge, head clockwise around the chasm staying away from the edge).
(Or: After you have crossed the bridge heading South - to the North-East. Head Anti-clockwise around the chasm staying away from the edge. Takes some getting to but would be quicker than a fight, death and re-spawn).

Many of the players here are right. You can get four walking down into the gorge without encountering a single giant, but with some real luck you can actually down a giant as low as 56 solo if you are a pet class. Barely.

Solo'd as a 57 rogue with 5 lvls of MOD. Took some patience because you need to wait for the giant patrols to walk far enough away. I picked up all of mine in the Gorge. Entrance around 59, 64.

As a druid (56) I found it easy to get some that was too close to giants by rooting them, grabbing it and then run away int ravel form until you loose aggro.

The trick is to be as close to the crystal as possible without aggroing the giant and the rooting it when it is as far away from the crystal as possible. Keep in mind that the roots tend to break rather quickly, or get resisted, so you might have to try it a few times on the same giant.

Also the giants drops the crystals

Комментарий от moonasha

this quest is easy. Yeah there are spawns that have no giants nearby, but you can easily loot the ones that are guarded. On my rogue i just gouged the giant and looted. (imp gouge of course). Im sure other classes can do something simular

I soloed this quest with my lvl 57 Hunter. I picked up the ungarded shards first, then singled out the shards that were only protected by one giant. I put on Aspect of the Cheetah, sent my pet to attack the giant while I picked up the shard. When done I put pet on passive an ran out of reach as quick as I could:). Nice and easy and it kept me from having to revive my pet all time.

Soloed as a 55 Rogue. I didn't die during the quest once, and burned only one vanish. You must know how to use your disctract correctly when navigating the minefield of giants.

Also these things are NOT heavilty farmed as stated above. In fact I didn't run into a single person through the entire quest.

Really easy as a shaman just ran by stonclaw looted ran away with earthbind hehe.

Комментарий от 57194

take hint: as priest i just come to shard on ground,when guard come fear him then take shard and run.they dont hit you in most situation and u get stuff for quest^^

Комментарий от Flick

Most of the shards on the ground are down inside the gorge itself. There are a number of safe corners that you can run to to drop aggro when the giants leash back to their spawnpoints. They hit reasonably hard but move slowly: you can outrun them on foot. With a bit of patience and watching their movement patterns, it's easy to collect 10 shards in a few minutes without having to fight them.

Комментарий от jwapp

soloed this quest with a warlock (56) easy just fear and kill ..

Комментарий от 68467

Yeah, if your not lazy you can simply loot the crystal's from the edges of the canyon all the way around, I just ran around the perimeter and completed the quest without having to down a single mob, just make sure to watch your aggro.

Комментарий от Phioner

Soloed as 57lvl rogue. Took me 5min to complete this quest. Just collected the ones on ground.

Комментарий от 45072

as a 56 mage i was able to grab all the easy ones, just like everyone else, but got tired of waiting on the respawns. So, since I am frost, i decided to try to aggro the giant to my elemental, then loot and run away. Do not try this, because as soon as i clicked the crystal on the ground the giant aggroed onto me, and had an easy time of killing me

Комментарий от 53362

As a rogue, this worked for me: Try to get as far away from the Giant as possible, and start the extraction. If he starts to attack, just use your "blind", which will give you plenty of time to get the shard. Then just run away (or vanish), they are slow. OR, you can get your combo points up and kidney shot them, but that may be cutting it close.

Комментарий от 41698

I solo'd this as a 56 Shadow priest, didn't have a problem at all.

Комментарий от Znarf

Freezing trap does not work on the giants, so no trap, loot and run for hunters. They are, however, perfectly kitable, so this is easily and quickly done with a hunter. I was 55 and had no problems.

from patch 2.3 you only need 3Frostmaul Shards did as lvl 56 hunter

Комментарий от 100208

I'm a frost mage so I can't fear and my frost nova is useless (they're immune). But I found a cool way to do it! Summon water elemental, make him stay, shoot one frost bolt and while giant is killing him, you can get to the crystals :)

Комментарий от Kimoshi

Was able to do this fairly easily as a 56 hunter w/ a 55 pet.

BM spec, I was able to kill level 59s with a bit of trouble, 60s I couldn't.

Would end up just sending my pet in, popping Beastial Wrath and go to town. Made sure Mend Pet was up 100% of the time, and when my pet got low(maybe 50% to be safe), pop intimidation to allow for a few seconds of regen w/o getting hit.

If intimidation got resisted(usually did), would just end up pulling aggro off my pet and kite it around for a bit while it regened.

I got 1 shard from killing the giants, rest I got from the ground.

Комментарий от 62677

With patch 2.3 you only need to gather 4 shards but the quest text says "
Bring back 10 frostmaul shards, and my lucky charm will be yours."

Комментарий от Venefikus

As a warrior this was pretty easy. For nodes that are closely guarded alls I had to do was charge in, intimidating shout and as he stood there I looted. After I got the shard, I ran off.

Комментарий от DaMouse404

Nelf Druid here, grabbed 3 down the valley and then used entangling roots to hold the guy in place whilst I borrowed his shard :)

Комментарий от gratscot

Seems to be a typing errer in my realm.. or somtihng. becouse in the quest text it says 10 shards but in the part where it says objectives it says four. i hope that i only have to do 4. :)

Комментарий от 109319

Verry easy quest as a 57 druid, took me 3 min tops.
just prowled around the giants and took 4 shards from the ground under the bridge.

Комментарий от 110798

Soloed as 56 BM Hunter, if u gonna try to down these Giants withount being 60 then i suggest downing only the Preservers, they have less HP and do alot less damage.

Комментарий от 114044

The quest description is wrong by the way folks, only need 4 now not 10 as it says. Lazy blizz!

Комментарий от Kaynos

You don't need to fight or hide, some of the shard spawn in area where there is no giants nearby. You just need patience, i found my 4 running around, not fighting or aggroing any giants.

Комментарий от 130345

solo'd ass a 56 combat rogue...around the edges of the gorge I found 3 and on the right side on ur way into the gorge I got last one...didnt have to fight a thing just stealth in and out! Easy.

Комментарий от 141704

These guys have an unusualy small de-aggro range (lenght it takes for them to stop following you) plus they move slow, so its very posible to just pick up the crystals while runing away / using any CC's you have

did it on a 57 Prot paladin

Комментарий от 111421

When i did this on my main the (group) thing got to me so i asked a friend to come help me... it was easy... he killed 1 of the elites..... remembering this when it came to my alt i knew where to go and what i was up against....

i didn't aggro any of them.... i went to 58.64 and there were 3 right there with no mobs... the fourth 1 - I had to go in a bit and there was an elite walking around but he never came close enough for me to aggro... maybe i was just lucky but this quest can be done without a grp

Комментарий от FarseerLolotea

Although Alliance can do this quest, it does not seem to earn rep with anyone.

Комментарий от 93415

If you are a hunter, you should not have any problems with this at all.

I gave a shot at the giants as a level 56 BM hunter, and as long as I had a Mend Pet on 2 times in the

fight I could take them down pretty fast. Even the level 60 ones will be piece of a cake.

As for the Shards, theese can be taken easily without pulling, just look around.

As a 57 Prot Paladin I was able to solo the giants while collecting the shards down below. Unfortunately none of the spawns up above were up, forcing me to have to deal with giants face-to-face. :/

Gear & Spec: http://www.warcrafter.net/sandbox/52437

Mats: Heavy Runecloth Bandages, Major Mana Potions
Buffs: Righteous Fury (Improved), Blessing of Sanctuary, Ret Aura

vs Level 60's - Pull while mounted, run to a cubby hole where the pat wont reach you. Keep up JoL + SoL and Holy Shield. HOJ when you get to ~10%, then Holy Light x2. Continue on, drink the mana potion when your mana is low. When health gets low again Bubble, then Holy Light x1 and bandage. The mob should die shortly.

vs Level 59's - Pull while mounted, run to cubby hole, keep up JoL + SoL and Holy Shield. HOJ when it's on cooldown. When you get to ~10% Bubble then Bandage. If you get low again, HOJ then Holy Light, but I never had to heal a second time.

Комментарий от Mooney

Level 59 Shadow Priest, i was able to take down the Elites, i just made sure i was fully buffed - Fortitude, Inner fire, Touch of weakness, And kept PW:Shield Up.

First i cast Vampiric Touch + Vampiric Embrace and SW:Pain to help keep my health and mana up. I then cast Mind Blast and Spam Mind Flay until Mind Blast has recharged. Make sure you keep PW:Sheild up as soon as you can cast it. Also to reduce dmg being taken use Psychic Scream and spam Mind Flay while its under its effect, this i found to be good for getting health and some mana back up.

The elite might cast a healing spell therefore use dispel magic and it will unbuff the elite of its healing spell.

Комментарий от 142381

well, as the sneaky lvl 57 rogue i am, i ninja looted all shards while having giants away on patrol or blinding and vanishing =)

Комментарий от mrdummy

Easy shards for example:
(seen from north to south)
- one right before the bridge (61,65) - no mob near
- one more further to right, near wood (60,65) - 1 mob near but far enough
- one more further to right, but walk around, to go "down" (58,63) - no mob near
- one more further down the path (58,65) - no mob near
- one down the path (59,67) - 1 mob near but far enough
- one left after bridge (62,72) - one mob near but far enough

That is all so far i can see.
Getting 4 pieces is no big problem.

The mobs hit you around 300, with around 600 crit. Pretty hard.
That is with stoneskin totem!

Комментарий от 160255

easy quest :) dont scare for these elites

Комментарий от Travy

Simple as a 55 warlock, you can kill the 59 mobs without much of a problem, which is what I lucked into, ended up grabbing my last shard on the way out.

Комментарий от 164542

Picked up 2 on my way down, ran around nekkid by foot, speed enchant on AB boots <3 no hit whatsoever even when agroing directly by walking trough the giants... got to a safe ridge where I lost agro... used the mechanical yeti on a big guy and picked the remaining 2 crystals. peace of cake... ran off by mount (suprisingly they were hitting me when mounted, but not when I was running by foot) done as 58 orc warrior.

Комментарий от 152323

ez peasy with 55 druid on prowl. Not one fight. A little patience is it.

Комментарий от 175973

I did this quest with ease as a 57 lock just got out my void walker and doted and healed the pet didnt grab agro...but if i did (found this out) they hit me for 700 :O they hi tlike trucks on clothys so be careful

Комментарий от 170336

Just stun the giants grab the crystal and run

Комментарий от 104089

Solo'd -- I let some alliance hunter kill the giants while I stole the shards. lol.

Комментарий от 150765

For Warrior I found a very easy way to solo this quest. Simply pull the giant away from the shard you want to loot then use hamstring. Run back to the shard and you should have enough time to take it before he crawls back.

Комментарий от 94380

easily solo'd as a 58 balance druid they are rootable
I did kill a few and found it to be useless 2 or 3 and not 1 shard

Комментарий от 201968

I would just like to add my solo strategy as a 57 BM Hunter... for me, the giants were all up on the shards, there were no higher level players clearing them as others have mentioned, and after I downed 1 or 2, I realized it was a little too hard to just kill them and THEN take the shards, so I had to improvise. here's what I did:

I scouted for shards that were in the aggro range of, at most, 1 giant. I'd send my pet in with Intimidation cast on it to make sure the giant focused on her while I snuck in and "ninja'd" the shard. with Intimidation, there was no way the giant would get distracted by me and interrupt my "ninja'ing". as soon as I grabbed the shard, I cast Mend Pet to make sure my pet survived in time for me to run and then cast Aspect of the Cheetah (if it wasn't already on) and made a run for it (yes, leaving my pet behind) so as to leave combat, making sure to dodge any other mobs that might come after me. the beauty of it is, you don't have to worry about "sacrificing" your pet and having to rez it later, because as a hunter, you should know after leaving your pet behind a certain distance, it disappears. soooo, run until it disappears. when I was at said distance, I called my pet back to me and lo and behold, my pet was near 100% and juuuuust fine.

to summarize:
- find a shard that is in the aggro range of ONE giant
- cast Intimidation
- send pet to Attack targeted giant
- "ninja" shard
- cast Mend Pet (optional; depends on your pet's armor, health, and whatnot)
- cast Aspect of the Cheetah
- RUN and reach safety
- Call Pet
- repeat as necessary, which in this case, is 3 more times

very easy as a 56 NE rogue just stealth, (if he sees you blind) loot and just run away ^^

Комментарий от 206341

From Dun Mandarr walk south towards 58,65...there are some crystals you can get withouth aggro of the elite.
Combine this quest with the wild guardians quest from Felwood and Brumeran...
Good XP for all three

Easy as 58 shadowpriest. You can kill the elites with no problems at all.

DoT them up (DON'T FORGET VAMPIRIC EMBRACE), mindblast, mindflay and keep shield up at all times. Should go down no problems.

Shards are also on the ground.

Комментарий от 364120

I was able to kill the giants with a 56 Hunter without an issue. Two on the other hand was a little harder.

Комментарий от 250445

As people had said it was possible to solo this, thought I would give it a try on my lvl 55 demon warlock. Found three of the shards by sneaking around, but could not find a fourth on its own so thought I'd have a go at killing the lvl 60 elite. Managed to down him no problem, if I can do it, anyone can do it.

Комментарий от 435342

You can solo the elites pretty easily. If you don't have a pet or minion do the 'Are we there yeti?' quest chain to get the mechanical yeti. Pretty easy for hunters and warlocks to kill. Good luck if you decide to take on the elites!

Комментарий от 229615

The elites are pretty easy to solo as a Rogue (I was lvl 57, combat specced, but I think you can do it as any specc).
They are cc'able so just pop blind and First Aid if you go low on HP.

Комментарий от 84103

Counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor + you get a quick "accept+hand in" followup (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=975) that also counts towards Kalimdor. So well worth doing.

Комментарий от Xelestial

If you do end up fighting one as an Enhance Shaman, just pop Shamanistic Rage and have Stoneskin down (unless you have Stoneclaw Glyph) I opted for Magma totem for more burst. And drop ALL your totems. Be ready to heal once or twice. If you're a Draenei, Gift of the Naaru comes in handy here.

If you're fighting a Preserver, be ready to Wind Shear Wild Regeneration.

Did it as a level 56 with greens, blues and 2 BoA armor pieces.
