I made a fresh toon and can confirm the mob did spawn straight after I killed it this time and also had the shield over his head. So not sure if it does it every time, but the first time it didn't spawn for me so I guess you guys must of been busy. I'll keep testing stuff in that region.

Great work on the quests here! Some things I might comment on:

-Sending a Message - 2347: It is not obvious anywhere that you are to click the bag when in the middle of the camp. The item you are given (bag of gnoll paws) does not say to click on it to activate(drop) it, but I did so anyways due to the standard behavior of other items like it, and it worked. E.g. you may want to add that note to the item itself..

-While doing "Releasing the Cursed" I also got a random item drop that has req level of 4 - "Hilt of Dargun Thunderaxe's Hammer" (1058249) Is this a quest breadcrumb?

-Dice Man quest gives a dice item- Are clicky items disabled ATM? I wanted to roll dem dice!

-Diplo quest parleys (I'm sure you know about it, and are working on it) give like 75 - 250 exp per turnin, when normal diplo parleys are doing 12k or so.

-Lastly, Harvester quests are great, but no Tradeskill quests ATM. Currently I cannot start any TS classes in Halagrad, or whatnot. Am I missing the NPC that does this? I've visited the Crafting area, and talked to all of them, none will train me or start me on the class I want to be. (Not even when I visited Dahknarg nearby)

-PS: Named wolf "Winter" in southern part of Halgarad chunk- Should he be able to be skinned or not? I do not know the behavior of named animals for harvesting.

-PPS: Shield Lork seems to be missing for the "Drop the Hammer" 4051 Diplo quest. Tracker points to a spot where he isn't there (Under the world maybe?)

A poi can be added though Live VG did not have one.

No, that is an item for Dargun's Tomb. It's on the 'random crap loot table' that you can ignore. The random crap loot table exists for testing of, you guessed it, random crap loot.

Those dice didn't do anything in live either. They literally just did the same thing as /random

Diplo XP has not gotten a pass yet.

There are no crafting quests anywhere in game currently other than Isle of Dawn. More info on this here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3002

That is probably a pet. If you click on it and its name turns green and is a defensive target, it's a pet. We tend to leave these up because they are randomly scattered through Telon and pets are not set up yet. We need to keep NPCs up that may be needed later.

Lork is a pather. You'll need to go find him. This is very common in VG and many pathing mobs will have compass POIs that take you to his general location, but you still have to go find them.

-Found Shield Lork! Huzzah! (and lost him when typing this up, haha)
-Follow up on the wolf "Winter", I don't know if Halagarad has had a spawn finetuning pass, but there are 2 spawns of "Kosgard the Mad", and Winter is with one of them. I assume Kosgard has not been assigned a pathing file. In either case. When I target Winter, name is still red. So may not be assigned as a pet ATM. Winter's positioning leads me to believe he may be Kosgard's pet.
-Appreciate you taking the time to walk a newb through things.

Another comment about the semi long diplo chain that is currently working in Halgarad- When you do the xp pass for the diplo quests at large- some quest specific diplo parleys are giving no xp at all whatsoever. It's not common, but I've encountered it more than twice.

Also noticed the quest parley text with Swiftfang Milorka refers to Mil as a "he", whereas she is a she.

Are Titles working? At the end of the diplo chain, Jarl Tormetz Ymirsson said he gave me the Title "Riddar" (spelling may be off) but I did not get the option to change my title.

Winter is definitely a named NPC, and looks like should be a follower for Kosgard. Cleanup just hasn't reached them yet it looks like.

Not sure if the diplo quest assigns the title (I'd need the specific quest name/id), but to change titles open your character sheet and press the '+' near your name.

I already checked the '+', and there is no new options. ( I also just went to IoD to start the crafter quests, and I have a new title from that )

And respectfully, This endcap quest is at the end of a LONG (when I called it semi-long initially, I was wrong) Diplo chain, this took me the better of a night to do the run-around to do the chain in full (even with a mount), and I was not aware the quest awards might be busted, so I did not keep track of the quest number. It's the chain that involves the 2 leaders of Halgarad.

If it helps narrow down the quest #, its the last quest in the long (and only) Diplo chain in Halgarad ATM. The quest that was supposed to give me the title was from Jarl Tormetz Ymirsson.

There's no title in the title list named "Riddar", so I'm not sure if it was one actually granted to characters.

The quest is "Blood Witness" (4270), and the title is "Riddir". Jarl Tormetz Ymirsson is the turn-in, but it's given by Otkatla Beck. I've set the quest to give the title on completion now.

If you want the title you can use '/say .quest reset 4270' without quotes and re-run it. Either find the NPC that gave the quest or use '/say .quest offer 4270' to add it. The Courier Pouch is unique, so you'll have to delete the one you have to turn in the quest again.

Dang, Nice!! Love it! Thank you for taking the time! Apologies for not spelling the title correctly, I was close!
