This isn't strictly a crafting quest, but it is listed on the site so here are some details.
As of the April 22nd patch, the Grimling Forest Raids have changed.
Notes:
1. If you hail the General with 'which camps' You will get a list of the 9 grimling camps in the zone and their status. A camp's status can be "under attack"(light blue) "controlled by grimlings"(red) "controlled by thugs" (green).
2. When you win a raid the General's status updates to green. The text says that Vah Shir control the camp, but a little while after you win the event by killing the boss thugs will spawn where grimlings used to be.
3. There are nine raids. The scouts will take you to raids one and two. The Captain and the Veterans randomly pick among the last seven raids. I believe the Captain always goes to raid 8 or raid 9. If you want to do raid 3, you may have to hail the Veterans multiple times to get them to go to that camp.
4. You say "i am ready to go" to the Veterans, Captain, or Scouts to start an event. After a little while they will run to the camp and give you a briefing. The yellow text indicates what you have to do to complete the raid.
5. If you win raids 1 and 2 the scouts no longer run their events...they tell you to talk to the Veterans.
6. Each raid has a boss creature. You have to kill this creature in order to flag the raid as being completed.
7. It seems that the raids are on a 24 hour timer. If you win one, you have to wait 24 hours to do it again.
8. Raid 1 involves killing grimlings while several untargetable wizards nuke you. You have to kill all the grimlings in the village before the wizards become targetable. Once you kill the mages, a boss wizard spawns.
9. Raid 2 involves killing grimlings while several untargetable shamans summon tiny micro grimlings on you. You have to kill all of the grimlings in the village before the shamans become targetable. Once you kill the shamans, a boss named Soul Echo spawns.
10. THE COPPER MEDAL OF WAR USED IN THE BEASTLORD EPIC DROPS OFF THE BOSS OF RAID 1 AND MOST MOBS IN RAID 2. You can easily solo this at level 45.
11. GRIMLING DOCUMENT 1 drops off of any grimling in raid 1. GRIMLING DOCUMENT 2 and GRIMLING DOCUMENT 3 drop off of any grimling in raid 2. These are easily soloable as you do not have to complete the raid to get the documents. Just single pull the grimlings and loot your documents.
12. YOU NO LONGER NEED SPHERES TO START THE RAIDS. You just say "i am ready to go." Strangely enough, the spheres are still for sale in the Vah Shir fort. They do nothing at this time.
13. Raid 3 involves killing a village of grimlngs while reinforcements arrive. If you kill the grimlings in the village and all the reinforcements a boss grimling spawns.
13. Raid 4 involves killing a village of grimlings while untargetable clerics heal them. It's tougher than it looks...the clerics have a lot of mana. When the village is empty, the clerics become targetable and you know the drill from here.
14. I have not seen SILVER or GOLD medals of war drop. These may have been removed.
15. The officers cloak is still awarded by the same NPC, but his title is now Veteran, not Captain.
16. The officers cloak is now called "Officer's Cloak of Service." The stats are different from what is listed on this site. I'll post new stats for the beastlord cloak later, unless someone else does first.
17. You DO NOT get a container to combine the officer's cloak with the medallion of the hero. This quest is broken and no one on eqbeastlords knows how to get it to work. IF YOU HAVE AN OFFICERS CLOAK AND THE CONTAINER, DO NOT DO THE COMBINE. There is no NPC that will accept the combined container and you will have lost your cloak. Wait until they fix the quest or we've confirmed it isn't coming back.
18. The medallion of the hero now drops off of the boss of raid 9.
