Equipment Recovery

“Please, Vikstone. When the Hyldnir took our men, they also took all our equipment. Of course, it’s more important that we get our boys back, but if you run into any of our equipment, I’d really appreciate it if you brought it back to us. You’ll find their village just above us, to the north.”

Gretchen Fizzlespark wants you to obtain 8 pieces of K3 Equipment in Sifreldar Village north of K3.

K3 Equipment (8)

Objective: Collect 8 K3 Equipment Crates scattered around Sifreldar Village (40,72).
Prerequisite: Flying mount or Cold Weather Flying is required to reach the village.
Location:
Sifreldar Village is located at 40,72 in The Storm Peaks.
The crates are scattered on the ground throughout the village, often near buildings or within small clusters.
Efficient Looting:
Crates respawn quickly, often within 30-60 seconds, so you can cycle between just a few spawn points.
Popular loot spots:
39.4, 72.5: Inside a building, safe from mobs.
Near the center of the village: Several crates can be found clustered.
Flying Mount:
If you don’t own a mount, talk to Honest Max at K3 for a loaner flying mount.
Loaner mounts are slower but sufficient for completing the quest. — **Prerequisite:** Flying mount or Cold Weather Flying is required to reach the village.
**Location:** Sifreldar Village is located at 40, 72 in The Storm Peaks. The crates are scattered on the ground throughout the village, often near buildings or within small clusters.
**Popular loot spot:** 39.4, 72.5: Inside a building, safe from mobs.

Walkthrough

Quest Giver: Gretchen Fizzlespark at K3, Storm Peaks (inside the inn)

Turn In: Gretchen Fizzlespark (same NPC)

Objective: Collect 8 K3 Equipment crates in Sifreldar Village.

Quick Facts

Location: Sifreldar Village [40, 72] — fly north from K3
Type: Side quest, not part of the Sons of Hodir chain
Do Alongside: They Took Our Men! (same quest giver, same village, grab both before flying up)

Walkthrough

Fly north from K3 to Sifreldar Village [40, 72]. If you need a flying mount, talk to “Honest” Max beside the K3 flight path for a loaner (requires level 77).
The K3 Equipment crates are boxes scattered on the ground throughout the village, near buildings, along paths, and sometimes inside structures. They’re easy to spot and don’t require killing anything to loot.
Crates respawn extremely fast. By the time you loot two or three crates and circle back, the first one can respawn. You can complete the entire quest by cycling between just 2-3 nearby spawn points without needing to explore the whole village.
If you’re doing this alongside They Took Our Men! (which you should be), just grab crates as you move between vrykul kills and cage locations. The 8 crates will fill themselves in naturally.

Efficiency Tip

If the village is heavily contested and you just want to finish this quest quickly, you can avoid most combat by landing near building interiors, looting the crates inside, and cycling a tight loop while other players handle the mobs.

Gretchen caught my arm as I turned toward the village. “When the Hyldnir took our men, they also took all our equipment. Of course, it’s more important that we get our boys back, but if you run into any of our equipment, I’d really appreciate it if you brought it back to us.”

Vikstone Portrait Act 3 — Illustrated by Christian DiBari and Simon Gough.

The crates weren’t hard to spot. Goblin engineering has a particular aesthetic. The Hyldnir guarding them were harder to ignore.

A spellcaster saw me first. Frost magic gathered in her hands, then launched in a crystalline bolt. I angled my shield to meet it. The spell shattered against titansteel and scattered back toward her in frozen shards. She flinched. I didn’t give her time to cast again.

More came. Axe-wielders and spellcasters both, frost and steel filling the air between us. The casters learned quickly that their magic found only my shield, returning to them as broken ice and borrowed force. The melee fighters learned slower lessons about overcommitting against a patient enemy. My mace taught remedial courses.

Eight crates, scattered across the village and inside their longhouses. Eight trips through hostile ground, my shield collecting a thin rime of frost from deflected spells.

Gretchen examined the salvage with professional detachment. “Thanks! We’ll see what we can do to salvage these parts!”

They’d lost men, lost equipment, lost ground. They were already rebuilding.
