anyone do it yet? I could really use the +15 attribute points

Didn't want to attempt it until I got some more information about it because, judging by the rewards, it has to be either really difficult, really long or both (I'm guessing both). So any tips/advice/strategies for completing it?

I tried it last night for about 2 and a half hours. My E/N and a W/Mo and 6 Henchmen.... It seems really hard to get real people for this quest. What I saw of it was really long, lots of stone summit beasties and azure shadows.
Not fun if you're a caster, that's for sure :-) (Lots of knockdowns and interrupts) Millions of archers, too. And the AI is pretty smart in these areas - they'll send tanks straight for your healers and casters


Anyone else done it yet? I'd like some stratgy tips here, too.

Yeah, I would like to know too. I just did forgotten wisdom, how far do I have to go to get this? After Ascention?

It's from a person in Droknar's Forge, right near the Henchies and Xunlai Agent.

I did this quest 2 times with all 7 henchmen all in one morning. I am a 20 monk.
This quest is given by Vanyi in Droknar. The first one I failed, but the second was a cake walk success.

The first time I did this I made it all the way to Sanyi, only to wipe after hailing her and following her. I noticed there was a zone near her. I should have zoned, but didn't because I was an idiot. I managed to get to here with 7 henchmen only to screw it up in the end. Lol.

WARNING! If you don't want spoiler tips, please discontinue reading below.

How did I manage to get to her from Droknar with just 7 hench? By being very patient. There will be groups of mobs of around 18-20 in number along the way. You just have to be very, very patient and pull a few of them at a time. My group can handle 6-7 mobs easily. When you see mobs on your radar, first find a good spot to pull them. Next I slowly creep up to the closest mob and agro/pull it. I back up a bit and let my tanks take them. Rinse and repeat. Do NOT ever, ever charge mobs. Let them come to your pull area. I pretty much cleared this whole map doing this method.
You'll get good drops, good exp and success along the way.

The second time I managed to reach Sanyi, I made sure that before I hailed her I zoned into this small town first (forgot name). Then I went back and cleared ALL the mobs to where she was walking to. After clearing, I went back to her and followed her. I'll stop right here and just say I was successful in this quest and got 15 attribute points + 5,000 experience.

This quest is actually easy if you're patient and smart.

I did three of the challenges(i think thats what they're called) and the hero's challenge in about 15 minutes...they were all really easy. btw i used henchmen for them all

edit: after reading i realise you had to run through the maountains to get to her..haha. I had already explored to the copperhammer mines from another way, and she stands right outside of it, guess that's why it was so easy

Dunno, I found all the attribute quests pretty easy with my W/Mo and henchies. For this one, I travelled from the Drognar's Forge all the way to the lady and completed the quest. Believe me, the monsters along the way aren't as difficult as many other areas of the game.
