The Hidden Forest

I am working my way through a few of the epics.
Problem #1
On the warrior epic almost to the end.
On the wiki page the walk through states:
Out in front of Mistmoore zone in. Find and kill Vastrilae True Mother until you loot her head.
I have killed it repeatedly for 3 days other than global drops, the only thing it has dropped has been Vastrilae wing.
I checked the web tools and the wing is the only drop that is listed.
Searching the wiki data base there is no listing for Vastrilae True Mother's Head.
I tried searching for "head" and went down the list. No listing for it's head event or normal drop.
The wing is listed as a 5% drop rate.
So what I would like to know is, is the data base correct and the wiki write up incorrect? or is the head a special event drop? Even if its an event drop I would think the web tool would show it as a drop with the tag Event.

Problem #2
Shaman Epic.
Slain Mortal Raid Encounter
I have tried this event a few times and have tried several different ways.
What happens is no matter what you do, the NPC's Named Life and the second NPC named Death never get below 98% health.
We have pulled them to different areas as far away as possible from their spawn points, yet the 3rd mob (the warewolf at the original spawn point continues to heal and balance thier heath.

The warewolf can not be blinded or mezzed.
We have also tried fighting them where they stand and have kept their health within 1% of each other only to have the warewolf heal and balance their health back to 99%.
I know these fights are not supposed to be easy but they need to be doable at least.
The wiki does not have anything listed as to how to go about winning this fight, only the solo fight.
And since there is no way to go back and change the choice from raid to solo, I would like someone to check the event to make sure it is working as intended.
I really think there is something wrong or broken in this event.

If it is working as intended, then a clue as to what I am doing wrong would really be helpful.

Thanks again

Shaman epic : Have been the first on the server to beat this event. Think it was with Sosten. A really well designed one and very tough.
Raid : trigger is the house. Place your raid outside and seperate it into two teams. Once triggered, two mobs will pop : life and death.
Pull them outside and kill them away from each. They have a nasty lure AE and does random dispell so fight away from casters.

That's the first easy part of the event. Once both life and death are down, real fight will start.

About warrior epic, I can only tell you that it must be bad luck. Did it twice and so did friends and the Queen was giving the item. Sometimes it required hours and hours, but it did.

I've been killing Vastrilae for days and only got the wing several times... Decided to go turn the wing in and it worked. Thought I'd post here in case someone sees this thread, like I did, and assumed the wiki is correct. Thought I was just unlucky and needed to wait for the head to drop

Since the event has long since been successfully completed, I don't mind shedding some light on the Shaman Avatar of Drinal raid event.

- Event starts in Shadow Rest
- Must be flagged for the raid to start it
- Once you trigger the event, through text with Avatar of Drinal, you have 30 minutes to complete it
- Life and Death must be kept at minimum 181 distance from each other (I suggest 200 for safe measures) otherwise they will heal every 30 seconds back to full HP.
- Life and Death each have a unique AE that can be avoided by jousting it. Life's AE drains 20% of your max mana, Death's AE drains 75% of your max hp and will randomly (~50% of the time) strip all buffs from players in the AE radius *Note - the dispell does not hit Death's target, but they will get hit with the HP drain.
- Once Life and Death are killed, Avatar of Drinal goes active with multiple timed events.
- @85%, Avatar gains a 50k DD every 6 seconds that hits all players within 120 radius
- @65%, Avatar will begin emoting every 10-15 seconds of power seeping through a specific gravestone in the zone. You must click the correct gravestone within 5 seconds of the emote occurring otherwise the Avatar gains 10% DPS and heals 15% HP. The 50K DD from @85% is still occurring during this time as well.
- @40%, Avatar adds a 50k DD that will randomly target 1 entity on its hatelist (pets and swarm pets can count). This happens every 6 seconds on top of the other two @85/@65 timed events.
- Upon Avatar death, it is 12 hours before the event can be engaged again.

Majority of the Avatar of Drinal event has one way or another to "handle" or avoid the detrimental effect. Just have to be creative.
