There are currently 17 warbands that roam Eastern Rohan. The maps below will help you hunt them down! The maps show approximate locations as warbands like to move around some. Each Warband has a daily quest associated with it that will earn you a box of spoils, which may content Marks, Medallions, Shards, a Spotted Hide, a Orc Head on a Pike, various housing banners and other goodies like crafting items and the Battered Ring of Rohan.
The Wold
The Wold contains four level 77 warbands:
- Cinder: a large salamander and two smaller salamanders that roam the swamps west and south of Harwick. This is considered a solo warband and you are awarded a Blue Box of Spoils upon quest completion.
- Hanrun: a big warg and two puppies, south of Feldburg. This is considered a solo warband and you are awarded a Blue Box of Spoils upon quest completion.
- Urush: a band of mounted Easterlings west of Sarn Gebir, near Jóshkhin Orda. This is considered a solo warband and you are awarded a Blue Box of Spoils upon quest completion.

The Entwash Vale
The Entwash Vale contains four level 80 warbands and two level 81 warbands. In this region, the warbands seem to occupy the same areas and hang out very close to each other.

The Sutcrofts
The Sutcrofts contain three level 85 warbands:

- Kramp: a bunch of Warg-riders and their leader, east of Snowbourn in the central fields. This is a fellowship sized warband and you are awarded with a Green Box of Spoils upon quest completion.
Yay! This is a great post! So very helpful.
After soloing the warbands in the Wold and Norcroft, I got lulled into a false sense of “can-do” attitude and met Dal for the first time in the Entwash Vale. I had no idea what to expect and wandered in over my head. His mounted buddies dismounted me and tore me apart; it has been my only defeat since entering Rohan. It gave me perspective that some things are better done with friends (and I will probably go back for a rematch when I am better prepared). 😀
That happened with me when I first found Bugud. Not knowing how he or his buddies worked, I got rolled pretty quickly. Now I have almost solo’d him and would have too, provided someone didn’t show up at around 10k and helped finish him off.
Great Post Sig! Added to my favorites!
Oh and is it just me or did Dahámab & Urush get harder, just after release i was pounding these two down with ease, & recently im bearly able to solo them.
