Advice
- You fight every single battle alongside the rangers of the Night's Watch. You do not need to bring a single soldier, as they cannot join you in the battles. As this quest is relatively travel-heavy, you might want to leave your soldiers in the south.
- Mole's Town's battle is relatively easy, with the rangers taking out many of the wildlings. The battle at the Gorge and the battle in the tunnels, however, can easily turn tough. (of course, there is always Wildfire and the wildlings are usually massed in a great blob, making them a tempting target)
- CAUTION: If you are killed in any of the battles, the quest will continue, with a message telling you that the Night's Watch defeated the wildlings. However, you loose money and 1 strength.
