Private Weeks gives out one of the easiest chain quests here. The mobs can be pulled one by one and are easy to kill. However it would help to be in a party to make killing Grieve easier.

Grieve is in the main hut at 40,39. You only have to worry about the Advisor when attacking Grieve, the summoner in the room won't aggro

*Caution to rogues and druids... If you stealth past the guards to kill Grieve they will run in once he has been slain and begin to attack. So either have a vanish up, or get ready to dash outta there

The hunter patrols are what you need to watch for in this place. They can quickly bring 5-6 (including the 3 humanoid + succubus they start with) if you don't time it right. I managed to kill the boss on my own but it wasn't easy since hunters go into the keep on occasion making getting in and out a chore.

Comment by Flexy

He is easy to kill... You can pull the Advisoir without pulling the boss. Then just solo him :P

If you have trouble getting into the Grieve's room like I did, you can die in the room and resurrect in the corner in front of the Grieve without aggroing him. The Hunter patrol does patrol in the Grieve's room so be careful.

The hunters pass each other at the front of the fortess and then walk towards the front gate in pretty close succession around the north side of the pond.

Head into the hills on the north side of the fortress (there are plenty of gaps in the gates to get in) and wait for them to pass. There will be two mobs at the front of the fortress (they were both summoners for me) and one inside the entrance (another summoner for me) who you have to fight to get in.

I confirmed that the advisor can be pulled without pulling aggro on Grieve. Did this as a 64 lock and Grieve was very easy to solo (level 65 non-elite).

bring a friend, the mobs respawn fast and they are close together. patrols can cause some trouble

Comment by bluspacecow

Did this as a level 66 Fire Mage . Watch the Hunters as they can sneak up to you and gank you with a ton of their mates (and they aggro some others to you) . Shadowmaster Grieve can be ambushed by going right over the rubble once you enter the building

Comment by savagy

they ganked me as well... those damn hunters... ( mobs )

Easy soloable as a 63 shadow priest. Just kill the summoners and executioners first. Run as far in as u can in the hut, u will problably die ( i did). Spawn in corner and mind control the guard next to Grieve. When the guard dies (the one u mind control) he will aggro u and it is no problem killing him. The problem is now to come out alive :P

Comment by Googles

This is an easy quest. Start by clearing your way into the village, and then clearing the mobs around the pond. The 2 summoners standing on the ledge were bugged for me (they don't move when you attack 'em, but they still aggro and deal damage to you although you can still kill them if you're facing the right way).

After you've cleared it once (which scores some pretty good loot), clear your way inside the burned down building (the biggest one) to kill Shadowmaster Grieve.

As a 66 mage, this was really easy for me. I popped Vengeance of the Illidari + Combustion + Pyroblast, then sheeped the Advisor and just nuked the Grieve down.

The Advisor doesn't give any loot, but has pretty decent exp.

That is all, hope this helps!

I don't know if it was coincidence or not, but when I walked into the room where shadowmaster grieve is (with a bunch of mobs walking behind me) and I walked up the wooden poles at the side of the room, I lost all the aggro I had, so apparently you can just rush in that room, run op the poles, lose the aggro, regenerate and then kill the boss ^^

A couple of things:

Grieve and his advisor have a respawn time of about one minute. I killed them, and the other mob in the room, and stopped to drink. Within one minute, both had respawned on top of me.
Mages can use Fire Ward very effectively against the summoners, because they only cast scorch. Fire ward is able to block 2-3 scorches easily.
Be careful not to pull more than one summoner at a time. Four mobs is a lot to handle.
If the hunters spot you, they WILL bring at least one other mob with them. Try not to get seen by hunters.
Summoners respawn after about 2 minutes, WITHOUT their pets. They summon the pets a few seconds after they respawn.

Or have a flying mount.
Then you just fly in through the hole in the roof, land against the wall midway between Grieve and the Summoner. Then kill the summuner, rest, kill Grieve, then fly out through the hole.

Picking off the others took more time.

Comment by 609195

I flew in to kill the boss from the roof then did the rest at my leisure. relatively easy as warlock 66

Comment by 175784

I discovered a neat trick. Fly in and stand in the middle of the pond. Pull the summoners one at a time. The minions don't aggro and simply despawn.

As well as the quests mentioned above
Series:
1. Speak with Private Weeks
2. Who Are They?
3. Kill the Shadow Council!

You also must go to the tent at 69.73, 44.26 and get the quests from Theloria Shadecloak

1. The Firewing Liaison
2. Thinning the Ranks

There are Bonechewer Plans also at the Liaisons location and as I turned this quest in before Theloria's 2 quests I can not confirm or deny if this quest is needed or not.
