i just read all the comments here and have figured out that you cannot get it if you have done a quest called precious and fragile things break easy (or something) which is a low lvl quest in the draeneii starting area, so most if not all draeneii will have completed it and as such cant get it this seems to be a bug that blizzard is working on, i myself am a lvl31 draenei mage who is currently grinding darnasus rep to get a nightsaber (dont want an elek) but i do remember getting the quest from argos and then getting a do not meet requirements message when i tried to get this quest, hope they fix it soon.

I completed the prelude to this quest (from Argos whoever in Stormwind) and when I clicked Accept on this quest it said 'You do not meet the requirements for that quest' and now the guy won't talk to me...

Level 24 Draenei Mage, Honoured with Darnassus and Stormwind.

entry of Blackfathom deeps is at 12,15 in ASHENVALE

This one is fairly simple, just grab them off the folks in the dungeon prior to entering the instance. Completely possible to do alone around lvl 23 or 24. I got all 8 in almost consecutive drops.

Goto Zoram Strand, head north west to the big ruins you can enter, inside it will tell you youve entered Blackfathom Deep or whatever. Go down and swim underwater. Look for the blue moving light, swim to it, it the cave entrance which will lead to the BFD portal. The brainstems are on most of the MOBS inside the cave before the portal.
I wouldnt try this alone unless your over level 20. I wouldnt enter the portal side unless you have like 23-25+ group, or maybe 26+ solo

I didn't go into the instance - traveled around the caves/tunnels and got all the brain stems.

this can totally be done solo. I just did and got all the brain stems without going in the portal. Drop is really good too!

Is this a quest that I can solo?&nbsp If so, what level do you recommend?&nbsp Thanks.

Murlocs that drop them drop fairly often. I got 8 of them in 10 minutes with a lvl 40 mage and some 20+ buddies (myself being 25 with a succubus). It's the possible horde and satyr to worry about. And no, you do not need to go into the instance for it. Have fun!

You find this quest in Auberdine. It's the guy under the cabana after you cross the second bridge from the Inn. Good luck.

I'm a lvl 24 Hunter and I made this quest ALONE. I must say that to get the brains you don't need to enter in the dungeon portal, but you can kill monsters outside the portal to get them.

I advice you to be at least lvl 24 to do this quest. If you want to get INSIDE the portal you need a group, of course. Good luck!

as of patch 2.3, all mobs required for this quest are non-elite. completely solo able as any class 21+.

same mobs required for http://classicdb.ch/?item=6995 for paladin's verigan's fist quest chain.

You do not need to do the previous "referral" quest to be able to accept this.

It seems that Draenei are currently unable to do this quest even if they meet the prerequisites.

Lvl 21 Hunter barely got through it, basicaly using my pet as fodder and knocking creatures off o ne by one.

Had to res my pet ALOT, dont recommend being lower than lvl 23 or 24 to do this one alone.

SAME PROBLEM HERE, I ASKED GMS MULTIPLE TIMES, and all they said was, "Go look on forums"&nbsp Well, glad I came here first, found it fast... I guess I did the precious things, as it's broken, my GM's haven't been helpful, and one was even an ass, he didn't answer my question, then he just starting auto sending violation msgs (all their stuff is auto send anyways, scripts your name, maybe they add 1 thing, usually not), and then boots me off for having a � in the name, heh.&nbsp Had to change it,.

Did it to me as well, did the prequest but I haven't even done the precious things quest but im revered with Exodar and a Draenei 23 priest so maybe it is to do with Exodar.

Loc for Gershala Nightwhisper is 38,43 in Auberdine

Did the prerequisite quest, cashed in, same message as everyone else. 24 Draenei Shaman. I'm Revered with Exodar and completed all the quests in Exodar before coming over. I would have thought two months or more would be enough time to fix something like this?

Can someone just tell me what quests and in what order i need to do them in to get the Beetle Clasps. Thanks

Level 28 Draenei Shaman does not meet the requirements for the quest. I followed the thread from argos nightwhisper in the park in stormwind city with the quest corruption abroad. I went to auberdine on darkshore and spoke to gershala nightwhisper who was supposed to give me the quest researching the corruption but the quest giver said "you do not meet the requirements of the quest. Due to all the posts here on thottbot and wow... this appears to be a known bug. Hope they fix it soon.

World of Warcraft Client Patch 2.0.10
Dranei STILL unable to do the quest

Also did the quest with a lvl 23 hunter. Used Pet the entire time to keep agro and also barely made it through, sometimes had to run out because id get two of them on me at once, and couldnt handle it.

I couldn't find any outside the hole, not of the blackfathom type anyway. I'm a lvl 23 druid and I keep getting my butt handed to me after 3 or 4 trys right in the beginning of the cave.

Got same message of "You do not meet the requirements for this quest" and submitted a GM ticket so hopefully they get back to me today.

My Night Elf can't do it either.
Have done the pre-quest

14,14

Gershala won't give the quest to Draenei. Reported this a few weeks ago. It's a known bug according to the GM. As of today's patch - 2.0.7 - it's still bugged.

BTW, this quest is attainable at 19, and the bracers are the absolute best for 19 warrs, and probably melle pallies too (not sure if theres 'eagle' bracers out there, dont have a 19 pally twink... yet). +9 stam on 'em (15 Illusion Dusts) and go kill Horde.

i found the monsters just above the first entrance on the zoram strand up the beach a bit no elites either.

i've looked all over south Darkshore/north Ashenvale for the non-instance Fallenroot Satyrs & Rogues and Blackfathom Tide Priestesses & Oracles and i cannot find them anywhere. Both here and thottbot show occurrences of these outside the instance . . .

Or is the data incorrect? If i have to wait until i'm ready to go into the Deeps, i will. i was just hoping to get it done w/o going down that deep, dark hole.

Thanks!

been looking in darkshore area allon the cliffside and i cant find a cave or dungeon if anyone has coords for the researching the corruption quest please post thanks

Still bugged for Draenei...

Hope they fix it soon :(

So where is this quest located?

Ya I turned in the Prequest for it and at lvl 24 it said "Cannot Aquire this quest" I guess its just one of those quests that the draenei can't receive or something

Funny they mention one of the races of the expansion in the quest:

This quest is tougher than people think. The mobs you have to kill are only 20/21 but they are elites and regenerate. Plus the location is not helpful.

The Dungeon is located in the heart of Zoram Strand (Blackfathom Deeps). If you are coming from Maestra's Post, just follow the path on the right (if you are going towards Astranaar). The path goes through forest with only a few Ghostrunners (19-21) to worry about. The you come to some ruins. Keep going on the path then to your left you will see a kind of causeway with some ancient arches over it. Follow this, then to your right you will see a building-like structure. This is the dungeon. When you go in, there are steps going down. Don't bother with them, just jump in the well - you will not get damaged.
GO UNDERWATER! have a look around and you will see a hole in the underwater wall through which you can swim (thanks Quake/Doom etc!). You know you are on the right track when you see (from underwater) some flashing blue lights. This is the dungeon itself - kinda. I mean, this is actually the approach corridor to the Instance by the same name!

If you are low level, stop here and get tooled up. The mobs are quite close together especially the further you go down the corridor. I did this whilst a 24 Hunter and it was quite tough. The Satyrs you can pull and deal with as normal. The mermaid types (forget their names) shoot from distance so you have to send the pet in - this can then aggro other mobs. You know the scenario. Took me a long time to get the 8 Brain stems because for me they did not drop all the time.
Finally, do this quest when there are not many guild players around, because they will come past you mob-handed and kill all your mobs for you. Nice! Specially since they take ages to respawn. Early in the morning is best! Good Luck
