PLANE OF WAR
Where to find them and how to do them!
You will need your own corps, to defeat the Plane of War! - Bonzz
The Plane of War was added to the game via patch in April 2014, during the 15th Anniversary events (at the time of the Call of the Forsaken expansion). However, The Plane of War was added as a permanent year-round zone, not a temporary Anniversary event. However, there are 15th & 16th Anniversary Events related to the Plane of War, to include a Raid.
Reportedly, the Plane of War was a zone originally intended for The Planes of Power expansion, but was never added to the game.
The Plane of war was intended designed for full groups of Level 100 Players, and the named (rare) MOB's were intended for 2-groups of Players. In short, while the quests are mostly solo / group type quests, you are likely to need help to get them done and / or expedite the process.
The Plane of War requires in-zone progression, to get from one area of the zone, to another. The quests in this zone are old-school style quests, meaning there is no task window. You have to keep track and generally figure things out as you go along. The only way to can sort of keep track of your Plane of War progression, is by way of Achievements (under the Planes of Power expansion), and the items you have in inventory, that are needed for the quest(s).
You might also utilize the in-game /note feature to simply make a note of where you left off!
NOTE: When doing these tasks, expect MOB's that can see invis and having to fight your way through it all.
NOTE: Expect to clear area's in order to interact with quest NPC's and / or complete task steps.
NOTE: You will receive a number of "character flags" along the way. While a lot of things can be done simultaneously or out of "intended" sequence, there are things that 100% have to be done in the sequence noted below. In short, follow the steps in the order listed, and you should not have any sequence conflicts.
NOTE: As you go along, you may run into named (rare) MOB's. You can kill them if you want to (or, perhaps, have to), but having at least a group with you when doing so, is advisable. The curses (DoT's) they use... normally... can not be cured and can also be pretty nasty.
NOTE: As you go along, any items that you come across that are marked as "Quest" items, go ahead and snatch them up! Most, if not all such items can be acquired / looted in advance.
NOTE: Some of the items you need and / or acquire are often tradeable, meaning you can potentially get them from other Players.
NOTE: Some of the items you need and / or acquire are sometimes 'No Storage,' meaning you have to carry them around until you need them (no banking these items).
NOTE: Some of the items you need and / or acquire are sometimes 'No Zone,' meaning you that if you leave the Plane of War (zone out, teleport out, die and go to bind, succor...), these items will go poof! Gone! You will have to get them again!
NOTE: If you ever forget what step you are on, you can search this page for any item you have (Control F), which should get you to the general point (step) where you left off!

Be ready for an unimpressed sailor to attack you, when you do this.
These MOB's are place holders for Jergamund the Slaver. Do not wait around for a respawn, as he will not spawn if you are nearby.
Instead, head to the next an unimpressed sailor and repeat the process.
Go back, later, to the same locations, to see if, Jergamund the Slaver has spawned (a tracker can prove useful for this).
If he has, kill him to get a Captured Slaver (No Trade).

This NPC is related to the Achievement: Mercenary of the Plane of War, with the step labeled, 'Refiner Dyrginal.'
Hail him and follow along.
.
30) PLANE OF WAR: A Greedy Miner is located further into the mines (head straight down the western tunnel, take your 2nd right and then you 1st left.)
Kill him to get a Dirt Covered Ore (No Trade).
.
31) PLANE OF WAR: Head back to Refiner Dyrginal and give him Dirt Covered Ore.
You will get a Grungy Object.
Then, hail him and follow along.
NOTE: If you did not acquire (3) Shining Gem of Striking (see Step 5), you will need to do so now.
Give the (3) Shining Gem of Striking and the Grungy Object to Refiner Dyrginal.
You will get a Grungy Symbol.
.
32) PLANE OF WAR: Now head to Krepp the Augurer. He is down the mining tunnel (from the zone-in), at the dead end after taking your first left.

You will get a Grungy Mark.
Give the Grungy Mark back to him (you get it back), then follow along with his response.

NOTE: The "Kobold" MOB needs to be a good distance away from Krepp the Augurer. If it was originally too close, he will not kill it.
Now give the Grungy Mark back to Krepp the Augurer.
You will get a Mark of Rallos Zek.
.
33) PLANE OF WAR: One you are ready, click the Mark of Rallos Zek.
This will cause a furious legionnaire to spawn and attack. Kill it and loot a Token of War (No Trade).
Once it is dead, a Herald of War will appear nearby.
Hail the Herald of War and follow along, then turn in the Token of War.
This should complete the 'Refiner Dyrginal' step of of the Achievement: Mercenary of the Plane of War.
34) PLANE OF WAR: You are here looking for The Judicator.
Kill trash MOB's to spawn him. The best place to do this might be in the far right corner of the "Field of Strife" area (pulling the boars and other nearby MOB's).
NOTE: As you kill trash MOB's, they can potentially drop Vallon Soldier Insignia (No Trade), or Tallon Soldier Insignia (tradable), or Tallon Captain Insignia (tradable). You want to loot as many of each as you can. You will need them later.
It can take a lot of trash kills to spawn The Judicator (at least 30 to 40). There are emotes that happen to forewarn of his arrival (such as hearing "flapping wings" in the distance, and the "sound of wings" growing louder). It is believed that MOB kill counts to spawn The Judicator may not be group-specific, putting your group in direct competition with any other group killing trash MOB's in the "Field of Strife" area.
The Judicator appears to "challenge" the specific group that spawned him. If you kill a The Judicator that you did not spawn, you will not be able to loot any items from it, until the timer runs down (for 2+ minutes). Meanwhile, the group that did spawn the The Judicator that you killed, can immediately loot the drops as they have dibs.
However, when you spawn The Judicator, it will be right on top of you. When fighting The Judicator, avoid using pets. The Judicator takes particular offense to any Player using pets, instead of fighting for themselves, and he will focus his full attention on that player (not good for most pet classes). The Judicator can hit for 20K, has an huge amount of Hit Points and also uses and AoE knock back about every 30 to 60 seconds. The Judicator also has an aura that negates defensive abilities, so players other than the tank, may want to used ranged attacks.
Once The Judicator is dead, it can drop some nice loot, but the main thing you are after is The Warlord's Blessing (Lore, No Trade). He only drops one (1) of these, so you will have to spawn and kill him multiple times for other Players in your group, if they also need it.
.
35) PLANE OF WAR: Now head to the west side of the "Field of Strife," the bridge that leads up to a castle door. Use on the The Warlord's Blessing door to gain access to Castle Rulnavis!
This should complete Achievement: Castle Rulnavis.
.
36) PLANE OF WAR: Repeat Step 33!
.
37) PLANE OF WAR: Now head to the east side of the "Field of Strife," the bridge that leads up to a castle door. Use on the The Warlord's Blessing door to gain access to Castle Tamrel!
This should complete the The Judicator part (step), as well as finish up, the Achievement: Mercenary of the Plane of War.
This should also complete Achievement: Castle Tamrel.
.
38) PLANE OF WAR: You will need to have at least Kindly faction (check your /faction) with Castle Tamrel to do the next task.
If you don't have enough faction, you can kill 'hendin' and 'rulnavian' MoB's in the 'Field of Strife' area, to loot Tallon Soldier Insignia (tradable) and turn them in to Sergeant Rekkles in Castle Tamrel (inside the gate, but outside and to the right of the main castle doors). You will need at least Dubious /faction with Castel Tamrel to do these hand-ins. You will get +10 /faction with Castel Tamrel per hand-in, until you reach Indifferent, after which, they will only be worth +2 /faction with Castel Tamrel per hand-in.
If you don't have good enough faction to do the hand-ins, just keep killing 'hendin' and 'rulnavian' MoB's to build it up, slowly (+1 /faction with Castel Tamrel per kill). Sergeant Rekkles will stop accepting Tallon Soldier Insignia once you reach Kindly /faction with Castel Tamrel.
You can also kill 'hendin' and 'rulnavian' MoB's in the 'Field of Strife' area, to loot Tallon Captain Insignia (tradable) and give them to Lieutenant Ess Pekky, who is just inside the actual Castle (Castle Tamrel). You will get +10 /faction with Castel Tamrel per hand-in, until you reach Kindly, after which, they will only be worth +2 /faction with Castel Tamrel per hand-in. You need to be at least Indifferent /faction with Castel Tamrel to do these hand-ins. If you aren't you need to keep killing 'hendin' and 'rulnavian' MoB's to build it up, slowly (+1 /faction with Castel Tamrel per kill), and / or keep doing hand-ins Sergeant Rekkles with (noted above).
In fact, you may want to go ahead and work faction to Ally, while you are at it. If you do, it will complete the Achievement: The Favor of Vallon.
Additionally, once you have Ally /faction with Castel Tamrel, hail Sergeant Rekkles and follow along, or just try saying 'Help.' He will give you Sergeant Rekkles' Spare Flask and Sergeant Rekkles' Tactical Analysis.
Then go give the Sergeant Rekkles' Spare Flask and Sergeant Rekkles' Tactical Analysis to Lieutenant Ess Pekky. You will then get Tamrel's Tactical Retreat Dust, which is a click item that will teleport you directly to Lieutenant Ess Pekky (a 2-second cast), but only while you are in the Plane of War. This item is also a 'No Zone' item, but you can easily get another as just noted above!
While you are here, you may as well also acquire the following items (you will need them later, so save little effort now):
.
39) PLANE OF WAR: You are looking for Captain Flavis Stella, a kobold, who is in 'Castle Tamrel' on the second floor (northeast room).
He gives three trials, that are all timed events -- you have ten (10) minutes to beat then -- that start immediately and happen right there in that same room!
While this is a solo task, you may want a group to help you.
Hail him and follow along, or just try saying 'First,' to get three options (level of difficulty, but none are truly that hard) for the first trial.
If you say 'sneak' (the easy option), two (2) a sleepy minotaur will attack. Kill them.
If you say 'call' (mid-range difficulty), three (3) a battle minotaur image will attack. Two (2) an orc ally will try to help you, but they will likely die pretty quick. Kill the three (3) a battle minotaur image.
If you say 'explosives' (hardest option), four (4) a charging minotaur. Kill them.
.
40) PLANE OF WAR: You are looking for Captain Flavis Stella, a kobold, who is in 'Castle Tamrel' on the second floor (northeast room).
He gives three trials, that are all timed events -- you have ten (10) minutes to beat then -- that start immediately and happen right there in that same room!
While this is a solo task, you may want a group to help you.
Once you have defeated his first trial, him and he will give you three options (level of difficulty, but none are truly that hard) for the second trial.
If you say 'wait' (the easy option), two (2) a sneaky goblin will attack (kill them). Four (4) an orc ally will try to help you, but they will likely die pretty quick.
If you say 'magical' (mid-range difficulty), a powerful giant image will attack. Kill it.
If you say 'rush' (hardest option), four (4) a sneaky goblin will attack. Kill them.
.
41) PLANE OF WAR: You are looking for Captain Flavis Stella, a kobold, who is in 'Castle Tamrel' on the second floor (northeast room).
He gives three trials, that are all timed events -- you have ten (10) minutes to beat then -- that start immediately and happen right there in that same room!
While this is a solo task, you may want a group to help you.
Once you have defeated his first trial, him and he will give you three options (level of difficulty, but none are truly that hard) for the third trial.
If you say 'poison' (the easy option), two (2) a poisoned Hendin image will attack (kill them). Two (2) an orc ally will try to help you, but they will likely die pretty quick.
If you say 'behind' (mid-range difficulty), three (3) a distracted hendin image will spawn, Kill them. Two (2) an orc ally & two (2) a bloodtusk ally image will try to help you, but they will likely die pretty quick.
If you say 'directly' (hardest option), three (3) a Hendin image will spawn. Kill them. Four (4) an orc ally will try to help you, but they will likely die pretty quick.
Once done, hail Captain Flavis Stella again, to finish up, and he will send you to General Ugor Gronno.
This should complete the 'Captain Flavis Stella - The Tamrel Trials' part (step) of the Achievement: Partisan of the Plane of War.
.
42) PLANE OF WAR: You will now need Warmly /faction with Castel Tamrel in order to do this task (see Step 38, if you need to work on faction).
Once you are at Warmly faction, head over to Lieutenant Ess Pekky and hail her, or just try saying, 'Ogre tactics,' to get Ess Pekky's Tactics Book.
.
43) PLANE OF WAR: If you did not loot four (4) Broken Weapon (see step 38), go get them now.
You are looking for General Ugor Gronno, an ogre, who is in 'Castle Tamrel' on the second floor (south room).
Hail him and then give him the four (4) Broken Weapon. He will give you Ugor's Storage Box.
.
44) PLANE OF WAR: If you did not loot six (6) Sulfurous Iron Ore (see step 15), go get them now.
Once you have six (6) Sulfurous Iron Ore in hand, head into Castle Rulnavis (the other castle) to kill six (6) a Rulnavian machinist and / or a golem machinist, then click one (1) of your Sulfurous Iron Ore on each corpse.
.
45) PLANE OF WAR: While you are here, kill MoB's to get some drops.
You need one (1) each of an Excellent Two-Handed Sword, Excellent Heavy Cestus, Excellent Heavy Mattock and an Excellent Heavy Spear (they are all tradable), that drop from a golem smith.
You will need one (1) Things I Seen (a scroll that can drop from any MoB).
Once you have all four of the weapons, put them inside Ugor's Storage Box and combine them to make Ugor's Sealed Storage Box.
.
46) PLANE OF WAR: Head back to General Ugor Gronno.
Give Ugor's Sealed Storage Box to General Ugor Gronno, and he will give you Ugor's Signet.
Now, as odd as it sounds (considering his last response and that he just gave you one of the items), give Ugor's Signet and Things I Seen to General Ugor Gronno.
He will give you Arcanist's Ignitor (click effect of 'Start the Fire').
.
47) PLANE OF WAR: Head back to Castle Rulnavis and make your way to the upstairs library.
You will see stacks (piles) of books. Feel free to clear MoB's around the book piles, but most definitely click the Arcanist's Ignitor, to set them on fire, and sooner or later, Araneae the Clever will spawn and attack you.
Kill Araneae the Clever and loot Araneae's Strategies.
.
48) PLANE OF WAR: Head back to General Ugor Gronno.
Give Araneae's Strategies to General Ugor Gronno, to finish up!
This should complete the 'General Ugor Gronno - General's Orders' part (step) of the Achievement: Partisan of the Plane of War.
NOTE: General Ugor Gronno mentions giving you a 'key to the tower' but he doesn't actually give you a key. This is actually the flag for access to 'Rallos' Tower' -- or the 'Grandmaster's Tower' -- (which is the chessboard room behind the door, in the mid-north wall of the zone), and should complete the Achievement: Keys of War.
.
49) PLANE OF WAR: You will now need at least Warmly (perhaps ally) /faction with Castel Tamrel in order to do this task (see Step 38, if you need to work on faction).
Once you have enough faction, head back into Castle Rulnavis (yes, the opposite castle again), to find Edmuund (a giant), who is inside on the west side, in the first room to the south.
Hail Edmuund and follow along... he doesn't give bracketed text to click, so /say Worthy then /say Test.
If you did not acquire four (4) Heart of the Colossus earlier, see Step 38 and go get them now.
Once you have them, give the four (4) Heart of the Colossus to Edmuund. He will give you a Display Case.
If you did not acquire four (4) Champion Blade earlier, see Step 38 and go get them now.
Once you have them, combine the four (4) Champion Blade inside the Display Case, to make a Sealed Display Case.
Lastly, the Sealed Display Case to Edmuund.
.
50) FROSTCRYPT, THRONE OF THE SHADE KING: Head to the far end of this zone into the 'maze' area.
Then make your way to any corner, target the floor panel, a block of ice, and destroy it.
Drop down into the lower level and look for a ground spawn Gorod's Medallion, and pick it up.
This should spawn Icecore. Kill it and loot Aelfgir's Signet Ring.
.
51) PLANE OF WAR: Head back to Edmuund.
Give Gorod's Medallion and Aelfgir's Signet Ring to Edmuund.
Then /say How forgive? or try /say How did you get here?
Continue to follow along... and /say What about his problem? and then /say The Plane of Tactics, or course.
He will give you Edmuund's Message.
.
52) DRUNDER, FORTRESS OF ZEK (aka Plane of Tactics): Head to the basement, to the right, to the 'Blacksmith' area (where the lava river is... area of /waypoint 1335, 1000, -325).
You should find Soke of Storms (a goblin) up. If he isn't, you will have to just wait, or you can try roaming the area and / or killing MoB's in the area, just in case it helps spawn him faster.
When Soke of Storms appears, give him Edmuund's Message, and he will hand Edmuund's Message back to you and ask if you are up to a challenge.
You have as long as fifteen (15) minutes to answer it seems, but when you are ready to give it a go, /say Yes, I accept the challenge to Soke of Storms.
NOTE: If you have a mercenary up, it will be automatically suspended at this point, so don't freak out! However, this encounter is not as easy as it sounds, and a little help from other Players may be needed.
Soke of Storms will now attack you! This is a DPS battle, where you need to get him down to 10% (and live), in a short time span (how long?), where upon he will stop fighting.
If you fail, you can try again, and again until you succeed.
Once Soke of Storms stops fighting at 10% health, follow along with him (/say message) and he will give you Soke's Message.
.
53) PLANE OF WAR: Head back to Edmuund.
Give Edmuund's Message and Soke's Message to Edmuund.
Edmuund will disappear, and Edmuund the Bold will spawn in the next room (to the west).
You need to attack and defeat Edmuund the Bold. While other MoB's will not assist him, it does not they will not aggro you, so, you may want to clear them if any are KoS to you.
After you defeat him, the quest is completed.
This should complete the 'Edmuund - Edmuund's Plight' part (step) of the Achievement: Partisan of the Plane of War.

.
82) PLANE OF WAR: At this point, you may need a capable group (or more) to help you, depending on your Level and abilities, due the time limit and MoB abilities.
NOTE: You may need to drop any familiars and / or 'pocket' your pet for this step (can anyone verify?).
Now you need to move over to the bridge (not on it) to click the Strategic Colossus.
This will cause a possessed colossus to appear and follow you around (like a pet or familiar, you can also buff it... it will fight with you), but it can path in odd ways, so don't get too far away from it (let it catch up). It (a possessed colossus) will only last about an hour (it has limited power), so you need to get moving! Click into Castle Tamrel while the a Tamrelian wall defender are still dead (this will not work if they have respawned)!
Inside Castle Tamrel, there are four (4) a shamanic resonance (a crystal shard, floating in the air), that you need to find and destroy.
They are all located on the main floor, one in big room to the south; one in the room just south of that one; one in the back room all most directly west from the entrance; and one in the northeast room). You may additionally have to deal with trash MoB's when you attack them.
They are located in the areas of:
It is the presence of a possessed colossus, that makes a shamanic resonance destructible.
Once the fourth a shamanic resonance has been destroyed, High Tactician Drelg will spawn (area of /waypoint -1525, -1665), which is on the main floor just inside the main around, around the corner to the south.
Once again, the presence of a possessed colossus makes High Tactician Drelg vulnerable to attack. High Tactician Drelg flurries and rampages. He will also summon about seven (7) adds at 95%, 60%, 40% and 20%... that you will also have to contend with (an honor guard and / or a blood guard, and they summon once they are damaged). All of these MoB's can hit 25K and use an assortment of magical attacks, and they are generally are immune to mezz / root / snare and they can also summon.
As a note, a possessed colossus also fights... make sure you out DPS a possessed colossus, so that the corpse of High Tactician Drelg does not instantly disappear, as you need to loot Drelg's Message.
If you fail, or the corpse of High Tactician Drelg disappears and you don't get Drelg's Message, you can try again (you should still have the Strategic Colossus).
.
83) PLANE OF WAR: Head back to to High Strategist Galben.
Give the Assault Bow, Strategic Colossus and Drelg's Message to High Strategist Galben, to finish up!
This should finish complete the 'High Strategist Galben - Any Means Necessary' part (step) -- and fully finish the Achievement: Partisan of the Plane of War.
.
85) PLANE OF WAR: The Grandmaster is actually one of the 'Hunter' targets for this zone, and is often the hardest one to get, becuase you need access to 'The Grandmaster's Tower' (the middle door in the far mid-south of the zone).
If you need the kill, but don't have the access, Players that do have access can either invite you to their group, or their raid. Once they kill The Grandmaster, you will get credit (even if you are not in the zone)!
This 'tower' is just a room with a Chess Board on the back side of it.
If you do have access, here is how this event works (in very generic terms):
.
1) PLANE OF WAR: You are looking for Jorgar the Pacifist, who is near the northwest corner of the zone (/waypoint 2575, -500).
This is a raid event that requires at least six (6) Characters (54 maximum).
Hail and follow along with Jorgar the Pacifist, or just try saying 'Serious' to get this raid.
Then say 'Prepared' to Jorgar the Pacifist, to zone into the instance.
.
2) PLANE OF WAR: You are here to face Tallon Zek & Vallon Zek (both are Level 103).
This raid is a hardcore variant of the raid event from Rathe Council Chambers, in the Seeds of Destruction expansion.
Before you start, make sure everyone gets into the room with Tallon Zek & Vallon Zek, as the doors will close once it starts.
To start the event, simply talk to either Tallon Zek & Vallon Zek and say, 'Challenge.'
