A Meal Served Cold

Kill a Cold Eye Basilisk, get a Chilled Basilisk Haunch, and return it to Angus Stern in the Blue Recluse.

	Chilled Basilisk Haunch

Description

One of my most famous dishes is Chilled Basilisk in Lime Vinaigrette. But the problem is... the meat is impossible to keep fresh, and I must serve the dish tonight for a noble's birthday!

So if you can bring me a Chilled Basilisk Haunch from a freshly-killed Cold Eye Basilisk, quickly, then I will owe you a king's feast!

Cold Eye Basilisks are known to roam along the beach dunes of northwestern Stranglethorn, so you have much traveling to do. And be swift!

even if you get the meat but fail the quest just abandon the quest and he should give u the quest again but u already have the meat so just turn it in. therefor no timelimit

I don't know if it was a recent patch, but it seems the concept of abandoning the quest and handing in the quest item is no longer valid.

I started the quest, ignoring the time, got the meat and returned to Stormwind. After I abandoned the quest, I found the quest item in my inventory missing. I thought I threw it away on accident, so I did the quest again only to find it missing for the second time. So, I'm assuming it has to be done the proper way now. /sad

When you accept the quest, you get a 30 minute timer. It takes about four minutes to fly the Stormwind to Booty Bay route, and the Cold-Eye Basilisks are along the road and on the west shore in the middle of Stranglethorn.

Treat this quest like any other that doesn't have a timer. Fail it, but keep it in your log.&nbsp Then kill the mob when you see it while on another quest.

The quest item will drop even after you've failed the quest, so ignore the timer.

Once you have the quest item, abandon the quest. Next time you are in Stormwind, talk to the Quest Giver (Mage Quarter, Blue Recluse) and get the quest. Instantly turn it in.

I killed the mob about 1 week after getting the quest, and I turned in the quest about 2 days after that.

Mobs: North of the Arena. (around 37,40 - 34,40)
Quest item will drop on first kill regardless if the quest has failed or not.

A 30 minute timer starts as soon as you accept the quest. It takes about 4 minutes to fly the Stormwind-Booty Bay route.

The cold eye basilisks are along the road and on the west shore in mid-Stranglethorn, not in the northwest as the quest suggests. See https://classicdb.ch/index.cgi?m=137884

Make sure you have your hearthstone up before you try this quest.&nbsp As a warrior without a mount it took me 15 minutes to go from the quest giver to Booty Bay (BB) and run from the griff trainer in BB to the spot where the mobs spawn.&nbsp

It is correct.&nbsp If you abandon the quest, the item is removed from your inventory.&nbsp Of course, I didn't try mailing it to another character or anything tricky like that.

As much as I’ve traveled that road in STV I never noticed the cold eye basilisks before.&nbsp For clarification, they are just north of Gurubashi arena on the road.

Traveling from booty Bay, just after you exit the arena on the road, you will see a basilisks on the right (wrong kind) and perhaps a tiger on the left. The next critter up the road will be your cold eye basilisks.
Without using my recalls I flew from SW to Booty Bay (6.5 minutes), road my mount and returned the same way. Completed the quest in 20 minutes (+ or – a few). 4700 xp at level 40.
Fun little quest.

At level 45, this quest gave me 4700 xp. In addition, the quest gives 1.5g, which makes the 15 or so minutes to do it really worth it. With the cosmos addon, the change in reputation is as follows: Darnassus .007, Gnomeregan .0037, IF .0037, and SW .0096. These are rounded values, and one complete reputation rank is equal to 1 I believe.

Just find the Basilisks on the road north of the arena, to the west of the shadowmaws - its easier and faster than going behind the arena through the raptors.

I started the quest and looted the basilisk haunch as described above, then did a couple other quests and let the timer run out.&nbsp When I returned to the quest-giver and abandoned the quest, intending to re-accept it, the haunch of basilisk vanished too. I had to do the whole thing over again.

Already been mentioned

Get the quest, go to STV and quest away, dont worry about the timer. Get the quest item and continue going through the rest of your STV quests.

When you're back in SW, abandon quest, get it again, you have the quest item in your bags, hand it over.

Dont waste time flying here and there in a hurry.

Level 40 Paladin.

I bound in SW just in case, but you should have plenty of time to complete this, especially if you have a mount.&nbsp No spurs, no carrot.

Arrived in BB at approximately 24 minutes.
Killed first Cold Eye Basalisk at 19 minutes.
Dropped on first kill.
Got back to Booty Bay at approximately 14 minutes
Arrived in SW at 11 minutes.
Completed quest with 9 minutes to go.

Was able to visit several vendors in BB as well as check mail.&nbsp =)

This is a very good deal listen carefully:

Go to SW to the mage corner go to the inn. get the quest.

Fly to BB just walk slowly to the coast where the basilisk are. kill one untill you get the item (i got mine at first kill)

Now you can die as much times as you want to

Just revive and fly back to SW go to mage corner to the inn and abandon quest. then take the quest again. Worth 4700 XP ! and 1,5 g

I took the quest, flew to Darkshire. Searched all over the North west for the Cold eye. None to be found. Failed the quest. I was near the Arena and found one. I got the meat and was on my way back to see if I could abandon the quest and start again and just give the meat. When I abandoned the quest, the meat was deleted from my inventory.
I retook the quest and went back to the same spot that I killed the Cold Eye and killed him again.
I took the meat, stoned back and turned in the quest for the gold and the great experience. Easy to do and good money and exp. (Watch for stealth panthers)

I got jammed up in STV w/ some PVP while on the clock...was intending to simply gryph back to SW.

Running short on time, I decided to stone back to IF and take the deeprun tram (faster than gryph from IF to SW).

Upon entering the tram, the quest "failed"...guess it interpreted entering the deeprun tram "instance" as a death (?).

Don't take the Deeprun Tram on the timer!

Naturally, in the end it didn't matter...had the meat.&nbsp Abandoned quest and retook/completed it on the spot.

When the quest says "northwestern" remember that STV has a lot of North/South territory in it. The basilisks you seek are SE of Grom'Gol base.

I'm a lvl 39 hunter. I did it with 18 minutes left. Fly to booty bay. run north. The cold-eye basilisks are on the west side of the road just north of the Gurubashi arena. Then I hearthed back to SW. (I have Aspect of the Cheetah but even without, there is plenty of time.)

By the time I found the right basilisk (looking at the Stranglethorn map, they're in the central western shoreline at the curved shoreline on the map), I only had about a minute to kill it and get back. The time ran out before I killed it. I was able to get the haunch from the corpse but I failed the mission.
Sooooo, I brought the haunch to Stormwind. Cancelled and regrabbed the quest and just handed over the haunch I already got. Quest completed! :)
My hearthstone was set for Booty Bay, so I had no teleport tunnels to worry about.

This is a bull$%^& quest with a bull!@#$ description

"beach dunes in northwestern stranglethorn" my ass

I went to the dunes in northwestern only to find that there were no basilisks ther - of course to get to them you have to run psat grom gol (nice to know now though I guess) and get wtfpwned by the guards

if the quest had told me where to go instead of sending me on a wild goose chase then I'd have done this first time, EASY - but as it lied its ass off to me I missed the timer

^&*!ing blizzard!

Coordinates are (36,41). Right next to the road.

Also the text about "must not release your spirit" appears to be misleading. I got ganked by a horde along the road, clicked the "release spirit" button to go to the graveyard, and ran back. Figured the quest was Failed, but it didn't show as failed and the timer was still running.

So I finished it anyway (killed the basalisk and teleported back to SW). Was going to re-Accept the quest but instead he said thanks and it was Completed!

Certainly for a mage. But, really any class, just set your hearth in SW. Head to the area, kill a couple (just needed one kill here), and hearth/port back. BTW, I found flying into Westfall was pretty quick. Had over 20 mins left on timer, and that included queing for AV along the way :))

At level 60:

+500 rep SW
1g 78s

Good stuff

I found out first where the basilisks. They are just a little north of Gurubashi arena on the left side just off the road. Then before I got the quest I set my hearthstone to Stormwind. Im a NE hunter so I was using Aspect of the Cheetah. I got the quest then Griffed to BB(its closer)ran to the Basilisks and the first one i killed dropped the haunch. I stoned back to SW and I turned in the quest. Time left was 15 m 15 s.

I died 2 times on this quest at level 47 because a ? undead mage on lightninghoof Doofers who is proabbly a level 60 decided to be a ***** and killed me on my way to the Basilisks and on the way back from killing a Basilisk. If I wasent a nightelf with a carrot on a stick and Mount speed eanted gloves I would have never been bale to do this quest.

This quest is great for a mage like me, since I can just use the teleportation rune to go back to the Mages in Stormwind quickly, then off to the Inn which is close by.
