The Corrupter

Bring an Oracle Crystal to Maurin Bonesplitter in Desolace.
Oracle Crystal

Description

An oracle crystal would do nicely. They are crafted by the naga for their oracles to use.

Northwest of here, along the coast, is a vast coral reef that the naga have taken as their home when this close to the shore. You can find their oracles there. The Slitherblade are deadly and will not react kindly to your intrusions, so be careful and make haste.

When you return, we shall see about finding this demon lord Azrethoc.

A fair warning: this quest will make you hate WoW. This quest will make you hate humanity. This quest will make you want to punch a baby.

Most of the nagas are underwater, the drop rate of the oracle crystal is low, the spawn of the oracles is shared with that of all other slitherblades, and, should you die, the corpse run is longer than you'd expect.

However, if you are really intent on completing it, here's what you should do.

First, know that to get oracles to spawn, you must kill other nagas. Fighting underwater, even if you have water breathing, is not a good idea: all the nagas run away when wounded and they swim faster than you.

You should fight on the two islands I tagged here:
http://classicdb.ch/?maps=405:287085325227

Clear one, swim to the other, clear it. Go back and forth like this and you'll eventually get the item.

This is best done alongside Claim Rackmore's Treasure and Book of the Ancients.

Look, guys. Noone cares if you got it on first, second or tenth kill, so please stop informing us. For every one that gets it on first kill there's a poor guy with 50 kills and no drop. I see this in almost every quest thread and it's not really adding anything to the subject.

a slitherblade oracle... There's also a quest from the fisherman troll in Shadowprey Village that gives a quest Other Fish to Fry for killing... Slitherblades! 2 in 1 shot! (ok. 19 kills)

Found my Oracle Crystal at 33,23. There's a lv 38 elite Deepstrider Giant that seems to wander around under water in the area. Although they roam all over the place, its somewhat unexpected to see one walking on the bottom of the ocean.

My results: (at lv 38)

Remember - to get the Oracles to spawn - you need to kill the others as well. They all share the same spawn pool.....

I've just finished the corrupter (4), clam bait and other fish to fry at the same time and the same area. All of them is around the same isle (32,23).

Other fish to fry: Nagas are located at the deepest parts, sorceresses are nearer to the surface and the rest are in the surface and on the island.

Clam bait: Soft shelled clams are all over the see but you also can find a lot of them around the isle. In addition, some creatures also may drop that item.

The corrupter: Oracle is hanging around the north side of the isle, and almost on the surface.

This quest aint all that hard as the comments say above. Just go to 28,14 (desolace) and search for some oracles. They are just naga's like the others, kill a few, and you're done.

Oracles seem to spawn on the S side of the Ranazjar Island under the water. I easily found 2-3 at a time in this area.

oracles are far spreaded apart. deep underwater. ridiculous drop rate. i killed 16 so far and still no luck. If you want to do this get a warlock for underwater breathing youll need it.

I suggest you combine this quest with two other quests Rackmore's treasure and Clam Bait. It makes it much more worth while to swim out to the island where the Slither oracle mobs are located. I was just killing stlither's expecting a drop and finally ran into one with the oracle attched to the name, I received the oracle from the 5th one I killed, while I was hunting for keys got the clam bait and then the treasure from the island. 7500 plus experience from all 3 quests, nice for an hours work.

I found this at Cords: 32,24 after coming back to it the next day and trying again. I would say it took about 12 Oracles which are not easy to find even with track huminoids activated.

This quest is not as bad as it sound in some of the comments above, There were a Oracle around (28,13) just of the island, Killed it, waited for it to respawn, (did this 5 times) then she dropped it!!!! JUST be on the lookout for the L39 Giant(Elite) wandering around in the area, he WILL crush you, did me 395+ damage every strike.
Good luck & Happy Hunting!!!!

This quest was teh same way, I ran out there and i swam to the first small island and kill one and it dropped first try.

It's longer to get there than killing things.

not counting the people who are just getting lucky this quest is insane. you can search for hours with tracking on and still only find 1 or 2. then when you do kill them its not a guarenteed drop.

this has to be the worst quest ever! spent over an hour and a half killing mobs and no drop...however if you wanna give it a try to see if your luckier than i...it seems the oracles spawn the most around the cord 28,5...ofcourse watch out for the 39elite giant that seems to like to roam that island =)
