Garadain Glacierbane is in the East most hut
Coldain Ring Quest
The Quest is a continuation of the Ring Quest and is given by Garadain Glacierbane (-2600, -300). You must complete the first seven parts to do this quest.
Garadain Glacierbane is in the East most hut
1. Garadain Glacierbane wants you to take on the Orc Army for the next part of this quest. This is the first quest in the series where if you fail you LOSE your ring so make sure you are more then ready for this part of the series (A Group of level ~60 should do it).
2. Hand Garadain Glacierbane your Adamantite Ring and he will hand you Marching Orders.
Make sure everyone is ready before you hand this in
3. Now make sure everyone is ready before you do the next bit. (I advise reading on to know what is about to take place) Go to the other hut and hand in the Marching Orders to the female dwarf Gloradin Coldheart.
Gloradin is located next door
4. After handing in the Marching Orders you have two minutes before an army of about thirty Ry'Gorr and three Giants spawn around the fort area. A different version of both Garadain Glacierbane and Chief Ry'Gorr will be up for the duration of the war. You need to kill the Chief, loot his head and hand it in to Garadain Glacierbane before Garadain is killed.
Chief Ry'Gorr still gave experience at level 60!
Strategy 1:
Have your group sit in the hut where the normal Chief Ry'Gor is spawned, kill all the spawns near the fire and the main gate, hand in the Marching Orders, have the highest level pull Chief Ry'Gorr from outside the hut (he spawns just inside the main gate with another orc and 3 Giants), kill him fast, loot the head, train the orcs to Garadain Glacierbane (he respawns with a Dwarven Army to the left of the Fort) and hand in the head before you or Garadain dies.
Running around waiting for Garadain. Head in hand. Train in tow.
Strategy 2:
The more difficult strategy is to kill all the spawns in the Ry'Gorr camp, hand in the Marching Orders, kill all the new pops and then hand in the Chief's head to Garadain Glacierbane. This takes a few well rounded groups (read: enchanters) around 60+.
WARNING: If a person in the past had managed to kill the Ry'Gorr Chief, but lost the war version of Garadain Glacierbane he/she might attempt to steal your Garadain by handing in his/her head and therefore despawning Garadain Glacierbane. It is generally a good idea to have someone watch the war version of Garadain Glacierbane to make sure nothing happens.
Shouldn't that be "Chief Ry'gorr's head"?
5. Wait (ie. run around in circles with your massive train) until you get the zone wide message from Garadain Glacierbane that he is attacking the Orcs. Hand the 'Chief Rygorr's head' into Garadain Glacierbane (War Version otherwise he will just return it) to receive a Velium Coldain Insignia Ring:
The ring insta-casts "Shield of the Eighth" with a nice puff of blue smoke
'Shield of the Eighth' is a 8pt Damage Shield that stacks with most other Damage Shields.
