With mount enchants and fast running you can get the papers signed twice from 1 kill. You will have around 5-10 seconds to spare though so if you are using a slow comp, wasting few seconds on loading chars at Cenarion Hold might cost you this opportunity. Just remember to prepare the papers before you start the event since it has a cooldown.

In order to complete this quest first you must go to Krug Skullsplit and help him defete (with me) a lv 60 elete. then you must talk to him again to get the signed papers. Then in order to complete it you must go back to Windcaller Kaldon.

it might be worth noting that you must fill the papers out before you can get them signed

doing field duty quest for 50 rep is nothing but the follow up assignment is were you will earn your rep....I suggest doing this quest multiple time in order to get a good selection of tack.... several of these task will overlap..

Logistic, combat, tatical follow up quest
Doing these quest for rep of 150 may not seem much but you can turn in the 3 badges (one of each Logistic, combat, tatical) for a 1,000 point of rep which make this a great way of power up your rep with Cenarion Circle
thier are ten different logistic tacks

Is it me or has this become bugged for horde? I turn in the quest and they set up and say an attack is coming, then 3-5 mins later the bug boss finally spawns.

Krug Skullsplit is located at 52,68.

After few minetes of waiting, an elite will spawn - https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15620 Hive'Regal Hunter-Killer. It has over 122k of hp, but you don`t have to worry as most of the dps will come from NPCs.

Honestly, doing all of these quests seems like a horrible way to grind rep if you do the math...

Assuming you do four combat, tactical, and logistic quests, you will be given 4 sets of medallions for 4000 rep, plus another 1950 for doing the actual quests (150 rep per tactical, combat, or logistic quest, and doing the field duty quest 3 times to have those quests become available to you). That is a total of about 6000 rep. Note that each time you complete the field duty quest, you get to choose 4 combat, tactical, or logistic quests, which is how i came up with 4 sets of medallions.

To get 6000 rep by turning in https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=20404 these, you would need to farm 75 of them. Each text is worth 50 rep, since it takes 10 to turn in for 500 rep, and since theres about a 1/3 chance for mobs to drop them, each text comes out to being worth 80 rep. 6000/80=75. Now obviously you cant turn in 75, it would have to be 80, but this is purely a math argument.

So, your options are A) killing 120 sylithid, running to the AH and buying a crap load of mats, and running around trying to summon the various templar (unless you are lucky and get an easy quest), or B) killing ~225 twilight hammer members, since 75*3=225 assuming a 1/3 drop rate. At lvl 80, i could do that in about an hour, probably less if i worked out a good routine and killing https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=15308 her every time she spawns.

Note I am talking about solo play here, as everything is easier in groups. By yourself, though, it will take much longer to go through all the field duty quests than it would just grinding the texts. Feel free to vote this down if you feel my math was wrong, or you simply like these quests over monotonous grinding

The spawning event for this quest is moderately bugged; the silithid takes several minutes to spawn after talking to Krug. However, if you start another event shortly after, there will be no delay. If you're planning to do several Assignments and will therefore be doing this quest several times, I recommend doing them all at once, thus avoiding the wait on all of them after the first one.

I'm not sure exactly how much time you have, but every time this worked for me the corpse of the previous kill was still present. It takes about 2 minutes to run back to Cenarion Hold and get a new quest, and https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=21143 Unsigned Field Duty Papers have a 3 minute cooldown; both of these are well within your window of opportunity.
