Ranger Lord Mhoire

Quest Overview

 * The Corrupted Pyre Oak is a rare spawn boss creature found in the Burning Wood section of the Graveyard that only appears in the nighttime hours (Gloaming to Dawnsong).

Walk Through

 * 1) Keep a look out for the Corrupted Pyre Oak. It spawns in the Burning Wood area of the Graveyard, the valley to the southwest. It is found right near the edge of the Graveyard around 66.5S, 44.8W. Remember that it only spawns during the night and disappears at Dawnsong.
 * 2) If you are lucky enough to be around when he spawns immediately summon reinforcements. It is not easy to fight alone and has a great deal of health.
 * 3) * The golem spawns with a number of Corrupted Pyre Sparks that cast level 8 Fire Vulns so it is best to avoid them completely. It also has many of the normal spawns of Pyre Skeletons near it.
 * 4) The absolute best way to kill it is for archers kill it from afar with using Spectral Bows with Lightning Arrows (Raider Lightning Arrows preferably). Archers should be able to find a spot outside the agro range of the creatures (Sparks and Skeletons) where they can fire on the golem. The Sparks will not defend the golem. Mages should just support the archers and debuff the golem. Melees should also just heal because it is normally too dangerous to jump down into the fray.
 * 5) * The Pyre Oak's most dangerous attacks are fire attacks including Flame Wave and Fire Bomb. When fire vulned these spells do tremendous damage and can even one shot you.
 * 6) When the Pyre Oak dies an NPC, Ranger Lord Grymar Mhoire, spawns that hands out Lord Grymar Mhoire's Key. He only has 10 keys to give. After he hands 10 keys the NPC disappears. You do not need to participate in the fight to get a key. After the NPC disppears a pile of Noble Remains appears where he was and it remains until Dawnsong.
 * 7) * The Pyre Oak drops a treasure pile when it dies that has a good chance of having a Jester Card or Ancient Mhoire Coin on it.
 * 8) Once you have a key go to the Burnt and Twisted Stump located just behind the bunker near where the Golem and NPC were at 66.3S, 44.8W. Unlock the Stump and loot the Ancient Mhoire Coins (3 to 5 coins) and the Lord Grymar's Ancient Emblem of Mhoire inside.
 * 9) Take the emblem to a Arcanum Mana-smith at one of the Mana Forges for a single use Mana Forge Key in return.
 * 10) * There is no timer on picking up in the Emblem but there is a 2 week timer on turning the Emblem in for a Key. Luckily the Emblems are stackable.
