Forced Hand the required npcs are all unattackable (invalid target), they can however be killed by aoe or pet damage.

This won't solve the issue, it needs to be checked in the FactionTemplate.

True, even changing it to faction 14 will work, but it is still not a valid fix, it's just circumventing. The faction 2061 should have the correct fields to be attackable by players.

You need to take one quest to be hostile with those mobs.

3 of us checked this quest that have taken all quests to get to this point. Its not the first time that the fenzyheart tribe Npcs have done this. Their faction in db is 2061, I tried changing everything as a test from faction to 14, to unit_flags from 0 to 8 to 32768. They remain invalid targets. There are many other Npcs that are suddenly invalid targets also, but that will be another bug report.

Aokromes is right, you need to finish http://www.wowhead.com/quest=12581/a-heros-burden
After that quest you can choose from the 2 available quests that the Oracle or the Frenzyheart give you; that should make you hostile with one faction and honored with the other, enabling you to target and hit them.

[RedSonja]

Yes I know that is why I put the bug report.

A hero's burden worked fine. but will try the fix that is referenced for it, to see if it actually fixes the Frenzyheart npc issue and let you know.

Edit: after trying that fix it made all the npcs blue and still invalid targets, and can no longer be attacked by aoe or pet now. these are npcs at the spearborn encampment. Also the npcs at the path of the lifewarden all npcs are red agressive but invalid targets, these however can be killed with aoe.

So I would say the fix is not good.

Edit: I tried the changing the faction of these npcs to 58 like warchorlz suggested, and it works, the quest is completable.

This happens all the time with Oracles and Frenzyheart Tribe. Sometime they are attackable but most of the time the are not. I've been searching where is the problem but I couldn't find it. EAI and flags are fine but there is something which makes them unattackable even if the player is hostile with one of the factions.

[RedSonja]

Exactly, and there are many other npcs that have the same problem. When I changed the faction of these to 58 they worked perfectly.

[Aokromes]

Try again on head.

I did comment about this somewhere else there is no issue with this quest itself, or any of the other oracles/frenzyheart quests where you have to kill the other factions npcs which share same bug as this.

If you do whole chain in one session without relogging you can kill oracles/frenzyheart npcs when you get the quests to do do.

If you turn in any other quest which changes oracles/frenzyheat rep you will then find these npcs are attackable.

If you modify rep by 1 you will then also find you can attack these.

I commented on another issue think the real problem is the way the core handles these too factions,

Playe cannot change status of at war and upon relog or leaving zone this resets.
