The Stranglethorn Raptors are...

North West of the Bal'something ruins.. west of nessingway's camp. Just south of the big ruins, near the beach. In hills is a nest of them and there's plenty surrounding them.

Head north from the lashtails...

Guys.. cosmos co-ordinates isnt helpful to everyone, give directions. Bragging about soloing them at level whatever isnt helpful or interesting, telling us how you did it with no pots isnt helpful... you get the idea.

Just the location in words, thats all people want.

There's a good sized nest of them (with young, which will attack with mothers) at 25,15.

The reward and drops for this are non-existant, and the xp is weak, but it leads to another Raptor Mastery quest.

The location of these Stranglethorn Raptors is quite deceiving, they are NOT slightly north of the Grom'Gol Base Camp (these are the Lashtail Raptors).

North East of the Tkashi Ruins (where you do the Bloodscalp Troll quest (Alliance side)) you will find the Stranglethorn Raptors.

Hope this helps, I was wandering around for a looong time.

I dunno why there are so many locations posted or if its anything to do with patches updates etc but the REAL LOCATION is Just North West of Bal'lal Ruins between Bal'lal and Zul Kunda

The Stronglethorn Raptors are in the far NW corner. Near the border of Duskwood.

There are plenty!

Just go from west from the hunters camp where you picked up the quest and you will easely find them.

All the coords are correct to a certain degree it has nothing to do with map. The problem is no one is reading the damned quests!

This is a 4 part quest chain and different raptor types are required to be killed for each part and they're at different locations.

1. 10 Stranglethorn Raptors.
2. 10 Lashtail Raptors.
3. 10 Jungle Stalkers.
4. Tethris.

Read the comments in these threads and go to the right raptors for that portion of the quest you're on. I haven't done them all so I'm not going to post them but I have found them where posted so far.

Would you morons quit posting about Lashtails in this section since the quest clearly states Young Strangelthorn Raptors are what's needed?&nbsp It's too confusing to have to filter out your remarks from the correct ones.

Just northwest of Balal Ruins, there are lots of panthers, raptors, and basilisk for 3 different quests. The ruins are SW of the expedition camp along the beach.

To get this quest you need to talk to Barnil Stonepot, who stands just near Nesingway. He tells you to speak to Nesingway, then you can get his quest.

28, 15 is WRONG for the first part of the quest.&nbsp That's a nest of Lashtails.&nbsp I just went there and found it is 26.15.&nbsp THOSE are the Stranglethorn Raptors needed for the first part of the quest.

Right over the cliff are the basilisks for the Singing Blue Shards quest.&nbsp

Yes, a true idiot. If you don't like getting ganked, don't get on a PVP server. BTW, I am horde and, no, I don't gank, but I'm constantly getting ganked by ? level alliance scum. C'mon....2 hits and I'm dead. Losers..... alliance or horde, if you need to pick on somebody, why not pick on someone close to your level? Wussies....
