A newly added Nightfallen World Quest, which has you hunt down the very mobs we have all been avoiding - the sycophant packs.

At first glance it is incredibly annoying, since multiple people are hunting for those few packs (sure seemed to be more of them before this quest lol), not to mention the summoned withered stay there to spawn kill them too. On my (low population) server most of the zone was filled with withered.

However, there is a golden spot with about 15 quick spawning sycophants: the rise at 54,64 with the inquisitor surrounded by 3 packs. Found it out at the end of course.

Ok, I don't get this quest at all. Are you supposed to kill the sycophants or are the withered supposed to do it? The withered don't even come close, but if I try I get killed. What's the whole purpose of the withered if they don't kill them?

Try explaining your quests a bit more Blizzard!

Edit: Ok I did this quest, if you can skip it I'd suggest you do that. If not here are some pointers:

First, you get a spell that lets you target an area for withered to be ported in. This spell has a 45 sec cd. the point of the quest is to kill Sycophants (mobs labeled as such). You can cast the spell while disguised.

You don't need the withered. You can just kill the Sycophants yourself
The withered do actually do some damage and can kill non-elite Sycophant's themselves. However you may not get credit so best to help them dps down
The withered will get owned quickly by Elites so try and drop them where there are Sycophants with no elites around (not easy to find). They seem to aggro mobs from pretty far away and also can run off and attack and aggro other groups
The best strategy, if you don't want to die a lot, is to find a room inside a building with Sycophants and no elites and kill them and just wait for them to respawn.
When the withered aggro observer type mobs (ones that can see through your disguise) they no longer dispell your disguise so that can be used to your advantage.

I died a lot, probably 4 or 5 times doing this quest. I'm not the best geared (about 820 ww monk), but I don't think gear would have mattered a lot as you aggro from pretty far away.

Don't bother using the orbs, they're more trouble than they're worth.
Found an excellent building at 57, 64 with 2 sycophants bottom floor and one sleeping in top floor. Fairly quick respawn and nothing to aggro apart from them, didn't die once.
EDIT: Checked again after the comment below, the building at 57 64 definitely has the right mobs in it, just completed the quest again using it with zero deaths. The mobs are Loyalist Sycophants, their names appear above them in yellow if you're on the WQ.

I had so much trouble with this quest. It was glitched in that none my kills of the sycophants were being counted and the players around me shared this problem. It was also extremely frustrating as I was often dying or having to resort to jumping into the nearby fountain to disengage the guards. The trouble after that was then getting back out of that fountain without triggering anything as the edges are too high to easily jump out over, guards who detect disguises are everywhere and throwing the orbs while in the fountain won't spawn the withered.

The only solution that helped me avoid more aggravating deaths was to server hop and join a group doing the same quest to clear the area with. The kills were finally being counted and by having a tank for the elite mobs it made it so much easier that I got done in no time. Just be careful of where you choose to leave the group from... I was so relieved for it to be over that I forgot and got crushed once I phased back in. -_-

Download some crossrealm addon and do that grouped, or come as a well geared tank

Go to Ambassador D'vwinn at (54, 64). Just mount up from the water side and avoid or ignore detectors until you reach his platform.
Lot of them there and respawn time is very quick.

When trying to solo, I kept dying, and when I came back, I'd get another orb. Or two. Or four. Every time I left one highlighted area and entered another, while dead, it seemed to give me another orb. So by the time I reached my corpse, having flown in and out of a few highlighted areas, my bags were starting to fill up with orbs. With such a long CD, and fast time to die, it is virtually impossible to use them all. Just ignored them entirely. Then I joined a group and we were done almost instantly. =D Thankfully, the orbs all vanished at quest completion, so I didn't have to manually drop them all.

Easily the most frustrating Suramar quest yet. Even in a group, if you die even once, good luck getting your body back without instantly dying again when you res, no matter how strategically you try to position yourself. Someone will see you and you'll just die before you can even get your masquerade back on.

Worst--quest--EVER!

Comentado por Berrenger

The Jeweled Estate, where Miasu hangs out, is not a bad spot. I used a glider from the Twilight Vineyards and managed not to aggro the two patrolling mobs when landing. Miasu and his three sycophant cronies didn't pose any problems (ilvl 858 fury warrior). Simply kill, wait a minute or so for respawn, and repeat.

I found a cool spot to solo this at ease: at 60.0, 63.3 precisely - Midnight Court, 3 round flower pots, 2 rectangular flower pots and 4 benches, in front of the big circular building. You can get there with any gliding object, from the vineyards.

It only requires you to be able to take down the first pack of 3 6 sycophants and an elite Evocadora Dimensional da Vigia Crepuscular - think about using your Orbes de Telemancia.
Then you can just stay there, it's free of all patrols. Lots of elites around but none will agro. As soon as your Telemancy orb is up, just pop new Withereds; you'll soon have a good army standing next to you. Also, as a bonus there is a pack of 3 sycophants popping near the building in front of you, but I couldn't understand the spawn behaviour yet, because the pack I was camping kept respawning while this other took ages.

Soon enough, your Withered army will tear down the newly spawned Sycophants so be sure to damage them first - best idea is to wear the Baile de Máscaras, so that Sycophants remain neutral (yellow) and only the closest Withereds will agro them. With 50+ withered spawned, I barely could manage to land damage for the kills to count :-)

It's certainly not as fast as doing this with a good group, but it's safe, cool, unstressed and allows to semi-afk.

Comentado por Ecteromo

Easiest way to do this is get a dps class and a self healing class and the two of you mow down the legion of elites in this area. Screw the stupid orbs and mow down the sycophants. Terrible quest design IMO.

In the time it takes me to die, respawn, die, respawn, ..., die respawn and complete this quest, I can do two other, much easier, quests, and earn as much rep and resources. I only have so much time to spend playing a game, and this quest is no longer on my ToDo list.

Comentado por mychatposts

run and die until you get to the corner of 62, 62 and hide.You can just pick them off from there.

I love this quest and once you figure out how to use the withered to your advantage, I think you will too.

The trick is to find a spot like inside a shop where there are only a couple of Sycophants that you can easily kill and then build your withered army inside the shop. It takes 45 seconds for the orb to cool down, but you can keep using it over and over to get more and more withered. They will stay where you put them, but they will attack your target as long as you are in their vicinity. After you have filled the shop with a dozen or more withered and have dominated the shop and the entrance to the shop, move outside the shop door and spread your army into a courtyard where more Sycophants are.

Slow and steady, patience, and a large withered army is the key to making this quest easy and fun.

I must have had at least 50 withered in a concentrated area as was basically untouchable. I was able to take on three or four elites simultaneously with no trouble at all thanks to the help of my withered army.

I can't wait to do this quest again because I have some new ideas for the next time after completing it for the first time today. Next time I want to see just how many withered I can gather. I wonder what the limit is and if there is one.

I hope this information helps you and this strategy works for you too, and I hope you will find this quest as satisfying as I did.

There's the usual tricky way of doing this, with withered doing the kills, or there is the player way of doing it, nuke everything standing. If you luck out and there's not too many other players in the area, you could consider dropping the withered onto the elite observers who see through your disguise. They will keep them busy which frees you up to take out the sycophants undisturbed.

I ported to Twilight Vineyards, used Goblin Glider Kit to glide down.

There are about 9 at /way 59.6, 63.5. I killed them, then joined a World Quest Group Finder group, got phased over and killed the 9 again to get 18 very quickly. Then went to /way 58.8, 64.1 where there were 3 more.

Sick of the Suramar.

Surefire way to win this quest.

Head to 56/60 (the big shop in the the middle of The Guilded Market) where there's about a dozen loyalists. You have to run past a few dozen elites, but if you are quick, there's no problem. Once inside the building, drop the orb. This will spawn about a half-dozen withered (unlike outside, where you get maybe one or two most of the time)

After the loyalists in the building are down (and maybe a triggered elite outside, wait for your orb to respawn and drop it again. Spawned withered don't despawn, but the orb will generate more. Once you have your army base set up, you ca venture out and throw orbs at anything in the area. More withered will spawn, and you can take them down.

If things get hairy, kite them back to your waiting withered army base, and let them chow down while you rest up. Works every time. Make sure you have a good dozen or so withered left at 19/20 loyalists, so you can use them as a diversion when you leave.

All right, here's what I did, and in the end I think it simplifies a lot the whole quest.

From the city harbour, go to 57.14 67.73 (location in the water) right in front of an observer automaton.

On the left and the right you have two little bays, and this is the zone of action. Forget the orb or the withered, I found them useless. I did it without deaths as a lvl871 Fire Mage, with only a little timed action.

On the left bay there are two loyalists and a guard, kill her/him first and then the two objectives. Then wait for the too-many-hands observer to pass, and go inside the house (always on your left from the bay) inside which there are three loyalists: two on the bottom floor and one on the top inside the bedroom.

Then, you can wait for these five to respawn 4 times and you're done. Or... you can go to the bay on the right, where behind a bush is a group of four loyalists. Wait until the observer are in the right positions (especially the succubus one, since it's directly in the path) and kill them all, going back into the water.

Do this two times, and kill the lone loyalist you miss while coming back from the group.

Or again, if you go out from the bedroom of the house, you will find yourself in a courtyard packed full with loyalists, and avoiding the automaton observer, you can complete the mission in very little time.

Save yourselves A LOT of trouble and frustration doing this quest in densely guard/elite populated areas. Go to the rare mob Embaixador D'vwinn . In the immediate area surrounding him you have a ton of Sicofanta Legalista .
Co-ords are 54:63 in The Gilded Market. Hope this helps you all : ]

Comentado por skag

These mobs are very doable but they have an aggro range that defies all reason. If you pull a group you'll be at it for a while because every step you take will aggro some more. Either be a plate wearer with healing or go in a group.

As many posters have said, if you had to do this quest to become a Cabinet-level minister in the government, fine - it's probably worth it. But otherwise it's just a lot of annoying, lengthy, tedious work. There aren't enough Nightfallen quests to get the WQ group of four done without doing this one. But I'll be so irritated after being forced to slog through this again on my Arcane, it simply isn't worth it. On the other hand, an Afflock could do this in minutes. I'm sure they'll sort that imbalance out in the next patch, right?

This quest is trash just like the rest of this city and zone.

Comentado por Lucilite

Are you strong enough to solo every trash mob in a dungeon that's at your level? If not, stay away from this quest. I came in not knowing what I was getting into, but I was on my main (a Prot Pally) so I managed to hold my own against endless waves of elite guards, while taking out a few sycophants here & there with my splash damage. Eventually after a loooooooot of button mashing I completed the quest & flight-whistled right outta there. But if I had come on any of my other toons I would've gotten pulverized in seconds, no matter how well geared I was.
