I recommend a balanced group or a really good puller if you want to do this, it's actually extremely easy and the mobs, despite the fact it's considered a TBL zone, don't hit like other TBL zones.
I generally run this with an Enchanter in my group, but have ran it a few times with a bard and had zero issues, I just prefer the Enchanters ability to lock down mobs better than a bard does.

Part 1: Get to Gnome Memorial Mountain!

The Entrance to GMM is located in the Dragonscale Hills, either find a friendly wizard or use the Guildhall, it's located in the south area of the zone, what your looking for is a steam cannon that will fire you into the zone.

Part 2: Get the Group Quest!
Once in the zone, follow the red arrow to Belira.

Assemble your team and tell her Brave to get the quest. After waiting a small amount of time, say Ready and you'll zone into the instance

Part 3: Kill em ALL!

Once your inside the instance you'll be back where you zoned in, time to move to the first kill area.

You need to move south till you reach the first set of mobs. These are the raider wereorc's, you need to kill 12 to advance the quest.

Next you'll want to move around abit, I personally like to move to the east side and mass pull, but it depends on your ability to tank and deal with 9-10 climber wereorcs at once, they are located on a small platform up the mountain side abit, due to the little area they are in it can be a little tricky to pull them sometimes, as the structure they are on/in blocks line of sight. You need to kill 8 of the climbers to advance the quest. Once this part is done the task will lock.

Next you need to kill the infiltrator wereorc's they spawn on the wall and path into a small tunnel under where you killed the climbers, kill 10 to advance the quest.

Next you need to move to the north part of the zone and kill 10 of the ravagers. They are located up the mounting abit off the large platform in a room full of supply crates.

At this point, once the 10 are dead if your lucky the named mob might spawn, he is called Grash, Bloodmoon Howler, he has several spawn area's, but he's where you need to be for the next part of the quest, how convenient!

For the last part you need to the south area of the zone, through the broken gate, your target is to kill 5 darkheart howler's, just move around this area and kill them, and if you have the name up as you can see from the map you can kill them all easily, there's no real issue, the named doesn't hit very hard, but does have a frontal AoE effect so best to face away from your group.

Once the 5 howlers are dead your loot chest will spawn!

The chest is located back where you entered the wereorc area, CONGRATULATIONS! phat loot all round!

Any questions pop em in the thread of DM me :)

VorpalChicken!
 
if you have a chanter and a decent tank you can grab the climbers wereorcs as they walk up the path. chanter locks em down and you just kill em 1 at a time. saves you trying to pull them on the small landing and from getting the yellow con adds on platform. (although they aren't too big a problem either)
 
The yellow clockwork guards don't aggro, as they aren't socially linked to the wereorc's
every time ive been in this task no matter with whom they have had these mobs agro. also on the "hanger" they tend to get rats and clockworks agroing. Alth as i say none of them are any real problem.
Ofcourse it could be the Tank using AE agro or such, i dont pay much attention to that, im just dps so just smack em.
 
hehe AoE will aggro everything, unless you've been butchering clockworks all over you'll normally be ok, due to the amount of times I've done this mission I'm max ally with the clockworks :)
 
Is it fair to say that if you’re gearing up toons that this would be a good transition into TBL? I’m feeling like I should do this over and over for my guys before I bother filling up other slots with harder to obtain loot.

yes, this loot is reallllly good.

I would still definitely start cycling in FF and brass palace and some of those missions as you are able to

I have a RoS/EoK raid geared SK as my main with a full group of max AA and well-group geared backup toons... I’ll definitely be cycling through as much as I can as soon as I can get back in game. I’ve been out way too long.

The loot that drops is better than the other TBL zones group gear, and it's trivial to get in terms of difficulty compared to TBL zones
 
I have been able to do this with 105 groups, to help gauge the difficulty.

Meanwhile TBL will stomp your ass with out a decent 110 group.

Loot is 106+ ?
 
yeah FTP can reach 110 and has access to GMM but the gear is prestige sadly,

just completed it using my SK and 2 FTP 110 accounts chanter and mage, was super easy but sadly 2 out of 3 of the loot i couldnt use lol.

hrm, none of my F2P have more than EoK, so they are limited to 105

Well put sir and soo true!
A true sextant to see where your group truly is is to run them thru the Trial of Three and see how that goes....:)

But a sextant is a navigation device that only gives you half of the information you need :)
 
Well then.. be an Incubus...

Then any tent you are in is a sex tent....
