Kodo Bone (10)

Description

We're sitting on a goldmine here, I tell you - a goldmine! Kodo bones will change the world forever... I have customers making furniture, music instruments, and even blasting powder out of them.

There's a caravan that comes by and picks up my kodo bones and then sells them at Shadowprey Village. If you can travel to the kodo graveyard south of here and bring me ten kodo bones, I'll give you something in return. Is it a deal?

You DO NOT kill the kodos for the bones, you right click the bones on the ground.&nbsp The bones look like skulls.

The bones are found in the Kodo Graveyard. Mouse over the solitary kodo skulls and you'll see that you can use them. Once you open a skull, grab the bone but be ready to either fight or run. There's a better than 50% chance that a Kodo Apparation will spawn and attack you. They are level 38 and not too hard. Just watch your back, as the birds in the graveyard patrol and aggro easy.

If you're a lower level character trying to do this quest, be aware of the fact that sometimes some of the bones will spawn a Kodo Apparition, around level 39, and it hits pretty hard, so be prepared to run away.

If your a hunter and doing this quest, here is one way to do it:

Step 1, find a kodo bone. it looks like a beast skull. These are located in the kodo graveyard.
Step 2, if it's within 10-25 yard of a buzzard, kill the buzzard.
Step 3 (this part is opitional), click on the buzzard you just killed and then type /fart or /insult or /chicken or /poke .
Step 4, place a frost trap on the kodo bone.
Step 5, collect your bone.
Step 6a, if a kodo appariation spawns, which will be between lvl 35-39, back away from it. Your freeze trap should of made it frozen for a short time.
Step 6b, Either proced to kill it, or use aspect of the cheatah and run away. Keep in mind if you run away, it might still be there when you get back. They tend to stick around for 1-4 minutes.

Oh, by the way. This can be done with a lvl 33 hunter with a lvl 32 pet (if the pet is good enough if you try to kill the kodo).

Edit: this is current as of patch 1.8. I hear that patch 1.9 will be out within the next 7 hours.

The graveyard is at 51,60 incase anyone having trouble finding it.

Level 35 Paladin had no problem doing this. The guys who appear are lvl 37 and I had no problem with them. Quest took me literally 5 minutes. Lower levels who want to attempt this just run away from the guys, you'll have no problem.

If you can stealth, you can "open" the skull, and stealth before picking it up to avoid fighting the apparition.

Lvl 34 priest, piece of cake. Shield, get bone, run if apparition spawns (only had 2 spawns actually). If you have a bird guarding the bone: shield - fear bird - grab bone - run.

Did it really easy with my 34 Warlock. Killed the mobs that spawned when opening the skulls easy, just dot and let my voidy tank.
Also did the Kodo taming quest while i was there (60,62)

Very nice necklace.

As a Mage, you might want to try out this tactic for the quest: get as far away from the skulls as you can while still being able to click them, and then click them. Once the channeling bar hits the end, immediately blink away. This way, if a Kodo Apparition spawns, you'll be free of aggro (given the right level difference), and be able to start the encounter at range. Just the way Mage's <3 it.

This is a little hairy as Alliance on a pvp server because you are right in Ghost Walker Post's back yard. Get yourself too involved with an apparition and a bored Hordie can swoop down and you'll be providing Night Elf giblets for the camp. It was easy as a 32 druid, even with a bright red quest marker. Prowl up to the bones, right click, and at the instant they autoloot hit travel form and high tail it a short way, switch to cat, and prowl for the next one. Did the whole thing with only one fight and red horde lights flickering in the background. Maybe they were being kind. Heh.

Completed at LEVEL 36 Rogue..
A fairly easy quest to complete. Take it slowely and know where you are, then it will be alright.
Doesn't always spawn a 'Kodo Appariation', but when it does it was 38-39. I managed to take it down if needed, but I found it quicker to just run for a couple of seconds and let it give up (even without any movement speed increase). I know I don't get any XP from them that way by running and it may be the cowardly way, but much faster then having to take them out each time.

I hadn't found the graveyard yet but when I was killed by a centaur, I rezzed there and did the quest while recovering from rez sickness.&nbsp Level 34 elf hunter -- didn't even have to call my pet.

Of course, with rez sickness, I did a good bit of running away.&nbsp So what?

As a frost mage all i did was run away when the kodo apeared, and once he disengaged i would come back make sure the area was clear and attack him, use my frost nova move back and continue attacking him until he died, (level 34)

SHIFT+Click will auto-loot, so hold the SHIFT key down when you click the bones and then you should have time to run/trap/send pet/hamstring/wingclip/stealth/kill any Kodo that spawns.

FYI - the apparitions will stay at the location you brought them out of their sleep.&nbsp Had an apparition appear with each one.&nbsp As a level 33 Rogue was no problem.&nbsp Just run off.&nbsp Did not use Vanish or Sprint once.&nbsp The Bird Aggro is more of an problem than the apparitions

got 4 in 10 for the ghosts turning up after collecting the bones. I did not move after collection until they turned up, so it has nothing to do with standing on the bones I think.

The apps varied from 37 to 39 in level.

As a horde player, just open the skulls nearest to the back entrance of the horde camp. When an apparition spawns, run back and let the guards take it down. You can even dig up another bone when they are still fighting with it.

As of patch 2.3.0 these skulls actually sparkle. They are seperate from corpses and sometimes spawn level 34 kodo's that are pretty easy kills =]

Very easy as a 34 rogue (or any class really, didn't use any rogue abilities)

The spirits will only chase you for a very very short distance before giving up - so kiting works a dream here.

All you have to do is make sure no vultures are in the immediate area, and that you have a clear path to run away.

Open the skull at maximum range towards your escape path. As they are opening, turrn 180 degress and get ready to run. As soon as the skull is open, start running. If a ghost spawns, it will chase you for a very short distance before giving up. It may stun you once or twice but it isn't fatal.

Move around the graveyard, and repeat untill you have your 10 skulls.

The bones are little heads in teh ground in the Kodo graveyard but on certain ones a Apparation will appear and will aggro and fight you...

Pretty Easy quest same place for the Reclaimers Quest

did this quest at 33. was more of a loot and scoot on the bones. I didnt fight anything after the first bird that about killed me. Of course being a tauren druid helped to use catform prowl.

Very easy quest, solo at 34 hunter. It's very easy, and very worth the reward. When you pick up the bone, level 38 or 39 Kodo Ghost appears (not always).

I did this quest as a 33 Warlock. With my pet voidwalker I could grab 2 bones at a time, then run out... Most of the time, my voidwalker made it out too, but not always. Be careful, the apparitions tend to stick around for a while.

very easy, I did it at a lvl 33 gnome mage... just gather the bones (Skulls) and sometimes a ghost will spawn (lvl 37-38) just frost nova and blink away, I didn't even need Polymorph.xP ... btw Nice necklace if you haven't had one yet.

Soloed as 33 orc hunter set freeze trap before looting bones. Aparition pops and freeze trap goes off. Hit Cheetah and run like hell. Only 4 ap spawns the whole time.
