I just finished the Officers cloak this morning at level 23 so it's not your level that is the problem. After the revamp of Grimling Forest it appears as though the Hero cloaks have been taken out of the game :( or that quest is totally different.
Capt Darznel who gives you the Satchel to put the 3 grimling documents and your Garrison cloak in has been demoted to Veteran. He will still give you the satchel after you hand him the note from finishing the Garrison cloak. If no mini-wars are available. You can check which ones are by targeting the General and say "what camps". If the wars are done already you can simply clear the camps of thugs/thiefs/bandits/shaman until a coin courrior pops and he drops the Grimling Documents I, II, III. Took me a couple of hours to get them all. I had documents I and II in about 10 minutes....III seems to drop from the northwest camps. Coin guy also will drop the copper medal needed for BST epic as well.
If the Scouts/Verterans wont respond then the mini-war they are responsible is already completed. Just clear the camps and wait for the Coin Courrior. Server reset does NOT reset the mini-wars FYI.
Im very sad that they took the Hero's cloak away. I was very much looking forward to wearing it one day.
New Officers cloak does not have %tradeskill modifier on it anymore. :cry:
If you have any questions about the Progressive quests or if anyone needs the bard piece made for the sonic wolf bane weapon let me know I think I have a few combines left in the bank. Im usually on my two mains and play the bard for relaxation :)
