Hello, I have tried to start this event with some friends a few times and I say "Ready to begin" nothing happens. Also, The Coin courier does not want to drop the medal either. What am I doing wrong to start the War? Any other advice greatly appreciated.
Unless I'm mistaken the events no longer work, to acquire the medal you just have to kill at the camps where a coin courier can spawn, then hope he drops the medal which is a lowish drop chance. https://eq.magelo.com/npc/413247
The coin courier does indeed drop the Medal. I got mine on the 27th courier. Guildmate got his on the 2nd kill. Go to Grimling on a raid night at 8pm or so and wait for a pick also.
What about the Khati Sha book earring turn in? I believe the quest can only be completed through a NPC that spawns post grimmling war. If the war is bugged and no longer works, does that mean the quest no longer can be completed?
The War works, it just doesn't always cleanly reset after it's been completed already. The camps you were trying to activate may have already been cleared as well. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=8240
I can confirm that the war works and Tiesh spawns and several of the copper medals drop during it. Just finished it in a pick 10 minutes ago.
on phinny i killed like 200 coin couriers or whatever they are called. then i just waited for a patch and a fresh start of the server. i didn't even had to start the grimling war since someone else alrdy started it and had like 3 medals rotting. i guess a pick works as well though.
