They are up the hill to the right (north) of the cave entrance as you approach from Thorium Pt.&nbsp After my L50 warrior barely killed a L47 shaman, I went up there and had a much easier time with a L49 geomancer.&nbsp Got it on the first drop up there.

This quest is now incredibly easy got off my fourth kill. I also find it better to go up the ramp as you can find Release them and Prayer to Elune

At level 51 I couldn't solo the fire gaurds without bubbling (pally). So I stuck to the Shaman. After killing about 40-50 of them I found the Geomancers just a bit north. On my 8th Geomancer the idol dropped. I'd say stick to them. Could've been dumb luck, but alot of these posts say the same thing.

The Idolators will not attack but they will still aggro you if you attack nearby mobs, so you won't be able to get out of combat until they are dead or you wipe aggro with a vanish or FD or something.

I'm a 53 Resto Shaman, and this quest really is a pain.. >_<

I've killed probably about 10 or so, and still no drop.. but at least I know that I can kill them, hehe.

These are lvl 47 - 49 Elites, so be careful when you come here.

Drop from the Twilight Elites.
26,34 - 24,40

Cleared the area right outside the cave, the entire inside of the cave, to include the rare elite, and finally headed up the hill. Dropped off a squeak toy near the pool of lava.

unbelievable!
killed 1 guard and got it!
pure luck :-)
lvl 53

Go west from the camp (also west of Thorium Point), to find the Twilight Camp. Best drop rate seems to be from shamans inside their cave.

Frist Shammy outside the cave to the right Dropped it for me, only had to kill 1, lol

Very tough to do solo at 48-50 as a shadow priest. Died a few times and many close calls. took 20+ kills.

Heh, first day i killed around 20 Shaman, and Guardsman. Second a about 6. Then on the third try killed 5. A guard ( melee ) dropped it for me. He was just outside the front of the cave. Had previously killed inside and outside of the cave.

The coin is good, but the drops are not.

Happy hunting.

Level 47 Shadow Priest here. Got lucky and got the drop from the 2nd shaman I killed outside the cave. It's a tough fight for me solo, have to silence and fear just right. Glad I didn't have to go inside there! )

"Go west from the camp (also west of Thorium Point), to find the Twilight Camp. Best drop rate seems to be from shamans inside their cave."

yea thats right, shamans have highest drop rate on it :)

got in on the third mob just outside the cave.

did it with a 50 war and iam a 48 priest. both very happy.

Did this as a 56 Hunter. Killed 2nd shaman and got the drop.

Yep, got it from a Shaman from inside the cave, but had to kill like 6 of them.

Ok I got the symbol but I can't remember where I turn it in. I tried Thorium Point, but no one's there to take it...

picked it up at 13, 41 (from a shaman in the cave). the quest gave me 4700 as a 45 pally.

You return it to Kalaran Whatshisface just south of thorium point.
He's the guy who wanted to tell you a story 3 quest steps ago. Surrounded by undead corpses.

The Flame's Casing
Reward was 4700 exp 75s

Leads to:
_________________________________________________
The Torch of Retribution

Reward <had lag needed to relog so missing exp reward amount>
For this quest you wait after turning in the previous quest and he will create a torch for you to hold in your weapon spot to set towers on fire. This quest can become buged very easy if more then one person is turning it in at a time so just take turns. After he gets done creating the torch complete quest and there will be a staff like object in mid air in front of him you can click it for completing quest. If at some point quest is buged just abandon that step and continue again.

This quest leads to:
_________________________________________________

Squire Maltrake

For this quest you just go talk to his assistant (Squire Maltrake) standing next to him and his assisnt gives next quest.
Reward was 470 exp

This quest leads to:

Set Them Ablaze! (this is last quest in series)

Reward: Coice of an item + 7600exp and 2.30g

Got it in my 5th kill. Level 49.

OK, tried this at 48 solo - I could kill them one at a time but I'd need to use a pot every time. Came back at 50 & solo'd it fine. Although I was playing a hunter, so the twits out there can argue if we ever really 'solo'.

This really isn't a lvl 50 Group quest - infact it's a good argument against Blizzard's renaming of 'Elite' quests. You'd need a group if you were low lvl enough that you can't take out moderately strong 47-49 elites solo, but all classes should be able to do that by level 50. The quest item *does* drop outside the cave - I wiped out everyone outside prior to any regens & got it off the last mob - and they're easy pulls outside the cave, so you should be fighting them one at a time unless you stuff up severely.

And while it can be irritating, the xp's good. Elite mob xp (go in rested), followed by 4700 for handing in this quest, 470 for waiting 5 seconds & talking to the quest giver again, 4700 for picking up the finished torch and 470xp for talking to the squire.

Who can argue with 10,340 xp plus elite mob experience?

Plus, if you can do this quest, the further follow ups are a cakewalk (fixed locations, only one 48 elite & some plebs to kill in each).

Seems a "Feast or Famine" sort of drop...got it on the second shaman I killed.

I can't confirm this as it may have been a fluke or my memory is bad, but I don't remember doing the first 2 parts of this quest chain. Someone was able to share this quest with me and I finished it from here.

lvl 49 hunter, i killed 68 elite without the drop :(

Solo'ed as a Balance druid at 49

Not that bad. i just stuck with the warrior class ones and avoided the casters.
