Gulgrethor Fortress
Gulgrethor Fortress is a
massive tower
carved into the mountains east of Wildgrowth Forest on Martok in Kojan.
If the
href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=785">Gardens
of Xia'Liu quests were a good introduction to grouping,
Gulgrethor
Fortress is a test of player skill and leadership. An unorganized group
will have very little chance of success deep inside the fortress, and
the many levels are laid out in a way that tests each role in the group
(tanking, crowd control, healing, and damage).
The fortress is massive, so
multiple
groups can move through it at
once. However, because it is so far away and tucked into an obscure
area, few people are ever there. This is your chance to own a dungeon
all to yourself. On the downside, don't expect any good Samaritans to
save your bacon should you get in over your head.
This overview will show
you how to
find the fortress and where the quest NPCs are along with a brief
description of each quest. The individual quest guides will show you
how to find the mobs and items you need to complete the quests.
Finding Gulgrethor Fortress and the Quest NPCs
Many orcs and goblins will
get their first
quest to enter Gulgrethor Fortress from Warchief Zowb in Martok. If you
need faction to safely enter Martok, travel one chunk north and
slay low level Gulgrethor invaders to get yourself in good standing.
The fortress is located
on the
northern most island of the continent of Kojan (

here to see the Kojan map) in the chunk named Sundering
Wastelands.
A
dock master can port you into the port of Martok, or you can use the
Riftway located in Wildgrowth Forest. If orcs and goblins are KOS to
you, consider approaching the fortress from the south. A Clan Martok
encampment lies just west of the entrance to the fortress, and many of
the soldiers there are level 40+ 6dots. If you have good faction with
Clan Martok, there is a fetch quest you can get at this camp (Unusual
Supplies) that yields a so-so piece of gear. You can't miss the
fortress, as it is a tall structure that looks exactly like it should.

Agents Jargo, Nuraga, and Zyrax are located inside the fortress
href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album72&id=NPCs&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php">on
a platform to the right once you have made it through the
tunnel.
To get to them, you will have to battle some Gulgrethor Death Knights
to enter the cave leading to the fortress. In the tunnel, you will
encounter Gulgrethorian Watchers. Once you exit the tunnel, head right.
Be alert for Shinak Death Agents, which are invisible. You want your
detection skill at max in here. Along the path to the agents, you will
see some more Watchers, some Death Knights, some casters, Death Agents
and some Torgazu Berserkers, giant beast that blast you two steps to
the right. Be ready to strafe with your Q key, or they could knock you
off a ledge or into more mobs! All the mobs in this area are level 15
3dots except for the Torgazu, which are level 16 4dots. The Death
Knights and Torgazu stun. The Death Agents can stun more frequently if
they are behind you.
Below are pictures of some of the mobs you will face in the entrance to
Gulgrethor Fortress:
