Hey

Found this suggestion in a thread on GWOnline:

Original poster Stygian Abyss:

Do the starting quest (I've never tried without it) ->
Go find the eternal weaponsmith in the plains (kill off the shadow monk, 3 rangers and a shadow beast near the tent in the plains to make him and 2 other eternals appear) and take the forgemaster quest ->
Clear the forge of stuff -> forgemaster appears -> take defend the temple of war (only quest) ->
Kill the waves of enemies -> accept the reward -> take the quest "Restore the temple of war"
Go to the spider cave (follow the arrows), and kill the seeds of corruption (4, IIRC) -> return to forgeboy, accept the reward and ask if he can craft anything.

That's all. Shouldn't take more than an hour, actually.

Common sense and careful pulling will get you through. I assume you know about the rastigan part, so the rest of it is merely pulling here and there. One thing to note is that the mob of 3 abyssals and 3 shadow warriors in front of the temple will engage a couple of skellies if you walk close enough to trigger the skellie patrol. After they die, around 6 beasts will spawn. Kill all the stuff in the outer ring before going up the ramps to kill the rangers (there are many strategies to get around them, the most common being having a tank stand and attract attention while the nukers nuke them to death -> need a few and 2 monks since barrage will hit them every now and then). For defending the forgemaster on the defending the temple quest, don't let him die, just stay up and wait for the monsters to come.

For the seeds, just be cautious. There are LOTS of spiders in the cave.

Hope this helps

don't forget about the book trick, makes defend and restore quests a lot easier. Plus, just find someone spamming 'forgemaster group' when in TOA

technically Rastigans quest for the tower in the beginning isnt required, however, he'll get ganked if you dont clear the area anyways...
