Singing Blue Shards

Bring 10 Singing Crystal Shards to Crank Fizzlebub.

10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10	Singing Crystal Shard (10)

Description

The Singing Crystals are unique to Stranglethorn, and are very valuable to certain parties. I can move those crystals, but the cursed Venture Company makes it hard for an honest entrepreneur like myself to gather any!

I'd like to hire you.

The basilisks in Stranglethorn eat the crystal. This gives them their hardened skin, and sometimes decent quality crystal can be harvested from it.

You can get it from any basilisk, but the less nasty ones are along the shores south of Zul'Kunda, to the north.

Go to 24,16 and kill - kill - kill for these!!
Drop isnt the worst but the re-spawn is good so it shouldnt take long...Finished this as a 36 Tauren Hunter with Gorilla pet (Kong)
Had a 37 human Warior (Malol) getting in the way but it was good drops for all..
Oh and if you dont have coords its on the western shore..

Good Luck

I am editing my post to remove my comments as I am an idiot and had put some erroneous information in it!

The man had it right. There are about 8 or 9 of them (34 & 35) in a bunch of foothills East Northeast of Kurzan's. If you have a little patience, they respawn quickly enough so that you can just stick around there, harvesting them when they reappear, without having to mess with the Kurzan people, random tigers and whatever those ?-level guards are, hanging around the ruins nearby.

It took me about three passes, or about 24-27 (lost count) to get the 10 quest items. The basilisks dropped other stuff that was worth about 25-30S and since I'm a skinner, I made out like a bandit for about another 30-40S.

The whole thing took me about 45 minutes. A relaxing, profitable quest. I wish more were like this.

and

2]&nbsp 48,10 at the mine which are lvl 41-43 ..... for the quest "Venture Company Mining" which you can get after completing the 1st one.

This quest is meant to be done in the area of 26, 18.&nbsp There seems to be other places people have found the Crystals, but only by killing lvl 40 or so mobs.&nbsp The quest is a lvl 35 quest, so that wouldn't make sense.&nbsp But at 26, 18 the mobs are 34-35 and the drop rate is very high.&nbsp They're on the cliffs just above the beach, called Crystal Spine Basilisks.

One of the good things about Kurzen's Compound is that it's much more out of the way, and on a PvP server you get ganked there a LOT less. If you're horde beware of the Alliance base a little north of there. Stick to staying on the mountain.

I went to 24,16 to kill these guys....both drop rate and spawn rate were great.....I got the 10 shards in 11 kills....that is just about a 91% drop rate.

Did quest as a 36 UD priest.

Walked out of Grom'gol Base Camp onto the beach, wandered north past some crocs, past a small ruin with some 33 and 34 bloodscalp mobs and then to the 34 and 35 Crystal Spine Basilisks, (the run took 30 seconds maybee, it is quite close.)

For those too lazy to look up where this is, the co-ords are: - 27.19
the Anonymous map for this is...

I recommend killing the ones on the coast, they are easier and quicker to get to

If u can stop a basilisk from using its (Crystal Gaze) the drop rate becomes much higher and becomes easier to farm.&nbsp Also, Basilisks north of Hunters Camp are only Lvl. 32 and i did this as a 31. After 8 kills i had 4 shards. Drop rate went WAYYY UP!

Rating: +4 [-] [+]

By Anonymous on 01/11/2007 (Patch 2.0.3)

I only had to kill 11 of them to get the 10 shards, so either the drop rate has gone way up, or I'm really lucky.

I found them in the area of 25,18.

Go a few steps to north from Gurubash Arena staying on road. Walk into the woods - on the left side of the road near woods you can find level 39-40 Cold Eye Basilisks, on the right side of the road you can find level 41-42 Thrashtail Basilisks, both drop crysals drop rate for me around 25-33%.

It started out great for me, after the first two kills, every kill dropped one. Now, I have been killing them for an hour (leveled up to 34) and still haven't gotten number ten.

East of Kurzen's Compound up in the mountainy area there are lvl 34-35 spawns. Drop rate of about 1:5 location is (45,5). Just keep runing along the mountain wall as they spawn over a wide distance.

Wow... 100% drop rate? I got 10 in a row lol.

By the quest log description I thought it was going to take ages.

Done as a level 39 hunter simply. I say that a level 33 could solo this no probs.

...is also 100% drop rate. Never used to be, but it sure is now.
