Guard Taizo tells you, "You have found an egg within the keep? Return to me in the span of a week - I would expect for things to resume being dangerous then."

Guard Taizo tells you, "I have no more news about threats fro moarsmen. Embody patience - I am sure that at some point the attacks will resume."

Creeping Reaper, from the Knights Reborn of HG reports: "The guard's in the pub where you start the Jojii quest, and facing NNW. The fort's WSW again. This time they're rather smaller Moarsmen, only lvl 39. Once I'd killed 30 or so of them (rather than 118 in the Ayan fort) and run upstairs, I found a single chest, then saw another one spawn. There may be a small risk of people getting their feet stuck in a chest this way, but Portal Recall is your friend anyway. This time it's a Small Tainted Egg and the reward's a lot smaller. I tried taking it to Guard Bey in Ayan first, but he didn't know what to do with it.

Timer is 6 days, and is on opening the chest at Tou-Tou, whereas the Ayan fort timer is on looting the egg. This means at Tou-Tou people questing in groups should be careful not to open a chest someone else has already looted."


Moarsmen Temple East Watch!
Acheron's Apprentice of MT reports: "Just found another Moarsmen temple out side of East Watch. Tainted Grimy Moarsman are all in it. Coords are 92.7, 42.4. Have to clear the temple and the chest spawns, nothing of any use in it, and has another egg in it.  Give it to Francisco the Hunter at 90.7, 43.0.

Francisco the Hunter tells you, "Hail, traveler. Do you want to know something?"
Francisco the Hunter tells you, "There's moarsmen down there on the beach - yes, moarsmen, even in this cold!"
Francisco the Hunter tells you, "They're unnatural, these moarsmen are. I've seen a bit in my time."
Francisco the Hunter tells you, "I'm sure the captain of this outpost wouldn't complain if you went and wiped out the population of that den of moarsmen. Eventually, those things are going to get hostile and attack us up here."

You give Francisco the Hunter Huge Tainted Egg.
Francisco the Hunter tells you, "So this is the egg of one of those things. See how it is corrupted, as compared to a normal moarsman egg. Whatever's driving the moarsmen to shore is not benevolent."

Sweet Little Sister of HG reports: "Argh. Rough. It's on the north side of the little island / iceberg in the channel north of Eastwatch, beyond a lot of Viamontian Hands, Ruschk, Fiun, Eaters and the like, they're bigger (lvl 165, 1,900 health, 420,000xp). There are, to quote the Battle of Britain, 'swarms of the sods'; they regenerate fast and other stuff spawns all around the fort. The 143-point critical hit didn't help much either.

After much fighting, dying and running back, we got inside. Well, maybe you can count them in the radar in the screenshot, but we couldn't while it was crawling around and two of us couldn't even move with the amount of lag they were generating. I thinned them out a bit, then bailed.

I'm told the xp reward caps at 24M. The times on those screenshots from talking to the hunter on the clifftop to getting inside and starting to kill the ones downstairs span two and a half hours.

Moarsmen Temple Ayan!
Hi Maggie. A couple of days after the patch, but here's the fort at Ayan pretty much as shown in the teaser pic.

I found a guard (59.8S, 88.2W) staring out towards the coast and thought he was new so had a chat and he asked me to ... well, bring back anything of note, as in the Academy quest. He's not quite facing the fort, but I spotted it through the trees. Boonwillow was there before me, hunting them for Moarsmuck for brewing. In Dereth, being besieged by the creature from the black lagoon and its thousand cousins just means beer!

Guard Bey tells you, "Would you like to do us a favor, sir? There is a fortress of moarsmen down near the festival stone. I think they may potentially pose a threat to the town, unless we strike first. If you find anything of interest there, come back and give it to me."

The fort's incredibly simple (60.9S, 89.8W), a shape that'll look familiar to Blackmire and Burun King run fans inside an incomplete ring of crystals. Inside there's a set of steps down from the far side of the room. The spawn numbers are huge (see radar in screenshots), and an occasional debuff comes in from randoms outside. The things themselves aren't too bad, and they're worth 44,500 or so each. Once they've all been burned up, a cluster of chests spawns in the alcove at the top of the steps. Each once contains a tainted egg. I forget the timer but you can see the message from when I tried to grab another. The egg goes back to the guard for an xp reward, and that's that.

The xp reward was the same for levels 111 through 172 but much smaller for a thirty-something. It appears to be a percentage of a level, capped at the 20.8M mark, whatever level that is. He said it was about 1M total to level, making his reward 30% or 33% or so of a level, and the cap effective at whatever level costs about 62M xp.

I haven't checked whether the timer is for each temple or for all temples yet. I'll have to go and find another and try that.
