This quest requires 210 alchemy to see.

The dragons can be found in Lethlor Ravine, Badlands.
About (80,50).

If youre a Druid you can hibernate the dragons, then start channeling, then just run away, they will stay asleep. Very easy =) Didn't lose a single HP.

When I read some of the comments here, I thought I was going to have trouble as a mage (level 46).&nbsp A mage can sheep (polymorph) beasts and humanoids, but that ability doesn't affect dragonkin.&nbsp With no ability to immobilize and incapacitate, I thought I was going to die miserably.&nbsp In fact, on my first attempt, I came close.&nbsp However, here's a tip:

Activate your Fire Ward and Mana Shield spells, run in tap the dragon for blood, Frost Nova to freeze him in place, and beat feet for safety.&nbsp I did this on my last vial collection, and didn't take a single hit of damage.

Of course, it helps if you've cleared a place nearby that you can run to without finding one of the Scalding Whelps.&nbsp Deal with them with the Fire Ward and hit them with frost spells (Frostbolt).&nbsp They don't like cold, and have very little resistance against frost damage.

With a bit of care, and a timely application of the Fire Ward shield, you should have no problems with this quest as a mage.

The objectives here list Ghak Healtouch, who is the Alliance questgiver for this quest. Aside from that difference, the quest is the same for both sides.

Though this is an elite quest, it can easily be soloed.

First, you have to have done the Badlands Reagent I and the Uldaman Reagent quests. Second, this appears to be a quest for Artisan Alchemists only. Now maybe it was a bug, but I came by this questgiver 3-4 times from my mid-late 40s and at alchemy skill levels ranging from 170-210, but the first time the quest was available was after I'd achieved Artisan status and skilled up to 230. So my guess is that you either have to be at or above 225 or have gotten Artisan training.

Once you get the quest, go to the Badlands and head towards Lethlor Ravine in the East end of the zone where the dragon whelps hang out. Keep heading east as the path winds south and then north till you hit large open area populated by several Scorched Guardian Dragons.

Open up the box and take out the Thaumaturgy Vessels. (They bind on pick-up.) To drain the blood, simply target one of the dragons and use one of the vessels on it. (You have to do this with a live dragon.) You can drain from range (`20-25 feet), which is a good thing because the dragon will attack as soon as you start. The draining procedure is like a channeled spell, so you can't do anything else until the draining stops. If you drain at range, the dragon will probably only get 2-3 hits on you before you can respond.

The dragons are all elites, so they're tough to solo if you're near their level (44-45 mostly). However, the quest doesn't require you to kill them, so simplest thing is to cut and run as soon as you finish draining them. A guardian won't follow you very far beyond that big open area. Just be careful that you don't run into a couple of dragon whelps back in the ravine. (I avoided this by running up the rock wall just to the E of the southern entrance to the guardians' area the whelps don't hang out here, but you can run far enough along the wall to lose the guardian.)

After you complete the quest, you will be taught how to make the Elixer of Restoration.

The most efficient way and less costly than the Blind one for a rogue is to stealth ----->cheap shot (4sec stunlock) since the channelling is also 4 secs U have enough time 2 fill the vial if U place the vials as a shortcut at your keybinding. Then gouge and run away untill u get off combat! Simple :D
