10th Ring War overview

One of the more impressive events in EverQuest is protecting the dwarven city of Thurgadin from being overrun by the Kael Drakkel giants.

Update March 3, 2004: Yikes, the quality of this page is in no way appropriate for the amount of traffic it gets. For a vastly more detailed writeup, I suggest reading the guide in my guilds library instead.

The event takes place in Great Divide and requires a big show of people. It consists of 3 main waves, each consisting of several smaller attacks. When you kill a subwave boss (Kromrif Captain, Kromrif General, or Kromrif Warlord) the timer for the spawn of the next wave starts. It is adviced to not kill the subwave boss until all other giants are dead.

The end of the event is reached when Narandi the Wretched is slain, and the questor can reap his rewards.

The attacking waves

There are 4 distinct points where the giants will launch their attacks from:

  1. A line to the south of Thurgadin, charging straight ahead.
  2. A line to west of Thurgadin, charging up the hills to the north.
  3. A group to the east of Thurgadin near the spires, charging up the hills to the north.
  4. A group to the southeast of Thurgadin, west of the spires, walking west towards the river.
