Witch Queen or Season of the Risen’s first Iron Banner is here. As usual, Lord Saladin has a quest available for us which we have to complete. The quest is called What We Survive and can be collected from him from the Tower.
Guardians like me are always looking out for the Iron Banner week. I am half decent at PvP and this is one activity where I can easily fight against the try-hards that only play PvP because in normal cases they are under-levelled. Iron Banner is one of the two activities where your power level impacts the amount of damage you deal.
Season of the Risen’s Crucible is full of Hunters that will come out of nowhere using their invisibility and hit you and disappear again. This is frustrating to see the least, I am certainly going to take my revenge on these hunters, thanks to Iron Banner and Lord Saladin for making their timely comeback.
Enough about Iron Banner, let’s find out what the quest is and how to complete it.
