DoN Vah Shir GM Quest-Instanced or not?

[hiyawathadan]

I am a 66 warrior and I have the GM task assigned to me. I have gotten 102 of my 120 kills done, and all have been from non-instanced zones. I next have to loot 40 Glossy Kirin manes. Every guide I have seen said this all had to be instanced, but since i have gotten kills in regular, does that mean it has been changed?

It sounds like we all need the same parts for our GM stuff (120 stillmoon/40(80) glossy kirins, so anybody who can answer, it would be helpful.

There is a known bug that allows you to get kill credits for some of these quests outside of the zone the quest text mentions you should be in (devs used "Zone: ALL" instead of "Zone: Lavaspinner's Lair" or whatever). This bug will supposedly be fixed in an upcoming patch. However, the items (properly) only drop in instanced versions of the zone, so you do have to go through an instance to get the requisite number of drops to complete the quest.

In short, as of right now:

Don't have to be in zone for kills. Do have to be in (instanced) zone for drops.

Just another bit of info:

The Vah Shir GM quest requires Glossy Kirin Manes be looted, and it specifies they should come from Stillmoon. However, GKMs looted in another instanced zone (from Thundercrest in "The Creator", for instance) seem to work just fine. That is where I have looted mine so far, and it's (slowly) counting them.

In "The Creator", we usually kill 4-5 or more Kirins per run. There are several more if your group is willing to help you out with your quest...and the manes aren't particularly uncommon from them. I got 3 manes in the last run (on, I think, 5 kills).

History of the Isles is a good one for kirin hunting (not for the horn, but for manes only). You'll kill at least 10-12 of them in clearing the wandering spawns before going to the basement and killing the named statues. Good crystal reward too, just bring a decent tank since the named hit fairly hard.

Ok, good info here

Thanks for the answers, even a question I realized I had forgotten to ask as to which mission to get.

I really wonder if after the next patch, will I lose credit for the kills I got?

Ok, I finished the Kirin Manes, and got them all in "The Creator" DoN mission. Now, I need to get the loremasters, and have to get them in a stillmoon mission, and loot the horn there from one of them. Which mission should I do, and how many times will I need to do it?

[Sharrien]

I got my horn on a diseased panthers mission. There are several kirins to kill and the whole zone repops as many times as you want to sit in there. Good crystal reward too.
