Getting there for the first time (there may be a faster way, but this is how I got there):

Take the flight path to Crow's Crook in Spires.
Go east (not west) through Howling Crag towards the river.
Cross over the river to the Shadowmoon Valley side.
Pick up Akeeta's Hovel flight path (I didn't get this done, will update if it isn't straightforward).
Continue on the road up to Skettis.

For an under-geared fresh 100, this daily was ridiculously hard compared to the one at Darktide Roost. Kill the mobs near the captives and loot the keys, then free the captives. They will fight with you for a short time, but the progress bar -seems- to fill faster if you take them to one of the shielded friendlies and release them to safety. There are deactivated constructs that you can apparently reactivate with some kind of item, but the zone was so populated that I didn't see anything to loot.

Watch for swarming packs of small birds in the air; they don't have much health but apply a stacking poison debuff that killed me twice before I could kill all of them (similar to the frogs on Timeless Isle).

The easiest way to get to the area of the quest is to take the flight path to Akeeta's Hovel in Shadowmoon Valley. Once there, take the road going North which leads you straight in to the quest area. Once in the area the usual "fill it up bar" shows up on your screen. There's an Outcast Darkscryer w/ a chat bubble over his head, inside a sort of shadow bubble. If you click to talk to him he just tells you what you have to do to complete the mission.

"Free the outcasts, lead them in battle, escort them out to the Darkscryers, don't let them perish. Got it."

Basically just kill the NPC's in the area, loot Talon Keys from them and free the trapped Arakkoa Outcasts by clicking on the chain balls. You'll get a buff, Free Arakkoa Outcast, that lasts 5 mins and the NPC will follow you around and fight with you. You can only have 4 of the outcasts following you at a time. So kill the NPCs until you have 4 keys, free 4 outcasts. Kill more NPCs, keeping an eye on your follower timers. The bar on the screen fills up as you fight, it's the morale of your current followers. Fight until the timer gets low then take them over to the Outcast Darkscryer and click to talk to him. Turn them in to him and by this time you should have 4 more keys. Just rinse and repeat until the quest completes. Progress was shown by a blue bar in the Objectives pane. It fills up as you kill the bad guys and turn in the freed Arakkoa Outcasts. The higher the morale when you turn them in the more progress is made.

Happy questing!

Just to be a little clearer in the explanation, the bar that fills up at the bottom of your screen will only start to fill once you have freed at least 1 of the Arakkoa Outcasts and then start killing the other NPCs. It fills up faster the more outcasts you have following you, to a max of 4, and the more NPCs you kill. This bar is showing you the morale of the Outcasts currently following you and will reset to 0 when you turn those followers in to the Outcast Darkscryer. It does NOT show quest progress, that is shown on the bar under the Quest Objectives list. Of course, I wasn't using any UI or quest addons so that may be different if you are.

speakersfankey made a comment that I believe should be added here so that it's more visible:

"To speed things up loot the yellow glowing eggs as well as artifacts scattered around, activate the yellow anima machines if you can find them and kill the non-energized birds with low hp."

Once there, and since there may be a lot of people already farming too, the faster way to finish this is to farm about 10 Talon keys, then head to the area close to the arakkoa to whom you'll bring the freed prisoners. Free 4 of the ones nearby (keep an eye on the 5 min buff you get from each one off them), then start killing mobs around (there are some big birds on the opposite shore as well), and when you get the bar at about 35-40% or the buffs are less than 1 minute left, head to the arakkoa, talk to him to lend them prisoners, you may complete the quest this way, if not, quickly run back to the prisoners nearby, free 4, and rinse.

Commentaire de jerioke

I am willing to bet that I just got lucky. But I followed what KillashandraRee said and farmed like 12 keys.

I was about to start releasing the prisoners, when I saw a Magnificateur solaire

I killed him and ended up completing the quest. My moral bar was 0, but someone on the comments page there - said that he only gives about 30% moral on his own.

Commentaire de 1332201

This is the worst quest I have ever done. No idea what Blizzard was thinking with this. Don't do this without a group.

Commentaire de 1378546

If you are like me and are using a tracker addon you might get a little confused. The bar at the bottom of the screen is not the quest progress bar, so don't freak if it resets whenever you return the guys to those domes. Disable the addon instead.

Commentaire de speakersfankey

To speed things up loot the yellow glowing eggs as well as artifacts scattered around, activate the yellow anima machines if you can find them and kill the non-energized birds with low hp.

also, when you free mobs from their ball chains you can turn them free at the npc at the start of the zone. the keys drop off the mobs and you gotta click the ball on the chain.

setting the birds free from chains and escorting them to the npc at the entrances at top and bottom of the zone give progress on the progress bar.

Commentaire de Vanityxo

There are several small items to pick up on the ground that aide in filling your progress bar. Be on the lookout for those. Do not automatically get a key then use it...Wait for several keys at once and then take all of your followers in small increments to the Darkscryers. This is the most effective way I found to do this.

Commentaire de Volleynova

Yes it is an annoying quest, but don't group, do it personally. Collect 5 talon keys, rescue 5 Arrakoa, bring them to the outskirts. Rinse & repeat. Got it done within 15-20 minutes, even with tons of other people around.

Explore, pick up power cores and Skettis statues on the ground to increase your standing.

I just wish that rare standing on the outskirts would stop evading for a change so people can get out of there sooner.

Strategy and Mob Percentages

Obtain Clé-serre from Skettis mobs to free Arakkoa slaves. Continue to fight enemy mobs with the slaves as enemy kills buff their morale. Turn the freed Arakkoa into Sombrevoyant paria before their 5 minute buffs runs out and you will get 1% quest completion for every 1% morale earned.

Killing more elite mobs awards higher morale and quest completion, and you can also loot artifacts and crystals for progress.

You can also get the Bien nourri buff by killing Viveplume véloce before they finish eating the fish they just grabbed.

Made a video of this assault https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hotLKp0Rbk, it's taking about 5 mins if you free prisoners (talon keys drop from guards nearby) and start to build morale from the beginning. If the area is crowded try to switch servers.

What an awful quest. Ambiguous instructions and an awful, crowded, buggy-as-hell quest area. Do yourself a favor and avoid this one.

Commentaire de JonGhost52

You can bring the freed Outcasts to a NPC at several locations :
/way 51.8 5.4
/way 59.7 11.4
/way 46.8 9.1

This is by far the best daily quest of them all. Gather 4 keys, free 4 outcasts. Run around and kill every mob you see (the elites on the far shore are nice) until the 5 min timer is up or you hit 100% morale. Turn in, complete. Every time this quest is 6 minutes tops, compared to some other horrible ones at 20+ minutes :D Happy hunting!

Commentaire de 1441715

The NPCs which drop the Talon keys are Skyreach Labormaster, Skyreach Dawnbreaker, and the Skyreach Dreadtalon. The other NPCs are window dressing, as far as I can tell. As for the glowing items sitting around, I am unable to interact with most of them. I'm not sure what purpose they serve.

Commentaire de Thrallscream

Ok, for all those who hate this quest. I know why. The meter that records your morale is NOT the meter that records your progress. At first I did the quest and saw my meter drop to 0 everytime I turned in the slaves. I kept thinking WTF! lol But truth be told you are getting progress credit for these turn ins.

Collect five keys, free slaves and go to town on mobs. Turn in. You should honestly get this done in a matter of minutes. My last timed run was 6 minutes. By far the easiest way to farm apex if you have the GR to support missives.

My monk was sitting on 4000+ resources because my main was getting tanaan done. By the time I started my monk through tanaan he was swimming in upgraded gear.

The beautiful thing about baleful gear is that the epic upgrade chance is buffed big time so you'll have about a 33% chance each time. 1/3 of my baleful is purple. Couple this with the free 650 weapon and rare loot drops and it's basically timeless isle 2.0 with free gear and plenty of upgrades. Keep in mind if you get an epic upgrade from baleful you'll automatically get to raise it to 695 with an apex upgrade purchase!

Great way to gear up alts especially if you don't raid. So get your 100's rolling into tanaan now and feast on the easy loots! Enjoy!

Commentaire de Ralowae

Not that bad once you find the area. Gather 4-5 keys first, and wait till you can unlock several outcasts at once. That way you can get full use of the timer to farm their morale up before having to turn them loose. Make sure to watch their timers, I barely made it back with one batch.
