The Green Drake

Bring the Tooth of Morphaz to Ogtinc in Azshara. Ogtinc resides atop the cliffs northeast the Ruins of Eldarath.
Tooth of Morphaz

Description

Now I set you on a dangerous hunt to slay the green drake, Morphaz, and bring his tooth to me. Morphaz dwells deep in Temple of Atal'Hakkar, the entrance to which lies in Swamp of Sorrows.

If you wish to defeat him, you must not go alone. This drake is an enemy of many -- seek others who wish to destroy him.

The drake's tooth represents the power a hunter will find in the company of others. Bring it to me and you will have learned much.

When it comes to your reward choices there are a couple of things to consider.

In my opinion, the Hunting Spear is probably the least useful of the three items. Weapons themselves will eventually become outdated, to begin with, as people level up, especially with the upcoming expansion. Also, if one truly wants a decent spear, many hunters go and get the Ice Barbed Spear (https://classicdb.ch/?item=19106) which is a reward if you win ONE battle in Alterac Valley. This spear has better overall stats, in my opinion, than the Hunting Spear, as it has an abundance of agility as well as stamina.

This brings it down to the last two items. Now if you are a Marks or Surv hunter, the Devilsaur Eye is clearly the best choice for you. However, I'm not certain if there are other trinkets more useful than this for Marks/Surv hunters, so please make a comment if you believe there is.

Being a BM hunter, I instinctively went for the Devilsaur Tooth. I have no doubt in my mind that this trinket is one of the best for hunters with this spec. It's highly useful for opening attacks, especially if one has a cat. A cat put into Prowl, with the Devilsaur Tooth buff, as well as triggering Bestial Wrath the moment before it reaches the intended target means a strong critical opening attack that will proc Frenzy instantly.

This will become especially useful when the expansion pack is released. One of the new BM abilities is Ferocious Inspiration. It means that when your pet scores a critical hit, all party members have their damage output increased by 1-3% for 10 seconds.

For levels 50-55 these are actually quite nice rewards.

The polearm is very nice, does good damage, restores mana, and adds +1% crit. I myself use 2 Dawns Edges which give me +2% crit, so this one is useless for hunters that have those.

The Tooth is nice. But i see little use for it. A BM hunter will most likely have the +15% extra crit chance for the pet making it a 20% crit chance machine. Using this trinket might tell it to crit when your beast was already about to crit. If you don't have the extra damage talent for your pet, this single crit chance will add very little extra damage...

Now the Eye is most interesting for me...

I'm lvl 60, and obviously dont need the polearm nor the tooth. The eye however fits in nicely with my crit gear and trueshot aura. (with crit gear i have a 23% ranged attack crit chance) If i use this trinket right before rapid fire, i'll be missing very little, and critting a lot. The extra attack power also makes for higher crits! The 2 minute cooldown makes this a usable trinket for me.

Until i find something better )

...expanding on what glassthorne posted:

When this quest was first available, all the way to the release of AQ40, there were no replacements for the Devilsaur Eye, and any hunter who took the spear found it quickly replaced, and any hunter who took the Devilsaur Tooth quickly found that it was useless in raids, and nominal in PvP. However, with the release of AQ40, Naxx, and the expansion, there are several replacements for the Devilsaur Eye. Examples being: Badge of the Swarmguard, Drake Fang Talisman, Jom Gabber, Kiss of the Spider and Slayer's Crest. Even outside of raids, the Earthstrike trinket from the Cenarian Circle replaces the Devilsaur Eye.

However, nothing in the game replaces the Devilsaur Tooth. So, if you are a hunter that has not yet chosen your reward, it is probably in your best interest to get the Devilsaur Tooth. Even in the expansion, there is not a replacement for this item.

I think there's too many arguments that exist on the premise of an item being "irreplaceable". It's said also for the warlock quest, with one trinket being pretty much unique and the other two items being eventually replaceable. But that trinket is a 30 minute cooldown free void walker. My problem with taking the "irreplaceable" trinket is that odds are you're not going to wear the thing at higher levels even if you can't replace it. What it does simply isn't special enough to matter.

In this case we have the Eye versus the Tooth. The polearm is pretty bad, nice crit, but while leveling your crit isn't terribly high to begin with. Greens at least increase your AP while they're at it. The Tooth gives a free crit on your pet's next attack. Now, if you're MM, or Survival, this doesn't really matter, your pet isn't a huge amount of your DPS and a crit other then the minor extra damage (especially if it's a claw or bite rather then a melee swing) is tiny. But if you're BM, you're looking at Ferocious Inspiration and Frenzy both procing every crit.

The problem exists that your pet simply can maintain both up a ridiculously large amount of the time without the trinket. Particularly after the first crit, frenzy helps increase the odds he'll proc before the effect is over and refresh the duration. With cobra reflexes, serpent's swiftness, and frenzy, your pet attacks slightly more then once a second (.99 per second). Combined with a focus dump like Claw, and he doesn't need the crit from the Tooth.

I think the Eye is more beneficial while leveling. And odds are if you're looking this up you are doing that. The eye gives a solid benefit and while it's not unique, the fact of the matter is you probably won't be using the Tooth in Outland anyway. You'll end up replacing either trinket but the Eye is a better damage increaser then offering a free crit to a pet that crits all the time anyway.

I'd had this quest for ages and couldn't find a group willing to do it. Eventually at level 60 I got help from another lvl 60 hunter.

You enter the instance in the temple and take the right hand steps up to the top. You are then faced with a group of dragons. Simply, run through the dragons and then use fake death. Keep doing this until you reach the large room full of dragons.

You then do exactly the same until you reach the 3rd opening on the right, go through there and at the end of the passage if the room with the two dragons. If you hug the wall they won't attack.

Wait until they have passed you and then both run out and place a trap (freezing traps don't appear to affect them). Set your pets onto them and use ranged attack. Use fake death if necessary, but you should be able to kill Morphas and get the tooth.

The above took less than 10 minutes, so it can be done fairly quickly.

Is this still the truth with BC out now? I know there are two seperate better trinkets than the eye you can get in Outland. Bladefist's Breath and Mark of Conquest. Both easy to obtain. I realise that they are 8 and 10 levels higher than the eye you obtain here. But does this effect the need for the eye over the tooth? There still is no trinket I know of that enhances Pet crit rate in BC.

I just wanted to say that I completely agree with zhek's opinion on this. I have levelled a lock to 70 and took the voidwalker trinket on the reasoning that it was irreplaceable. Guess what? I never used it, because it sucks. The devilsaur tooth sucks even more. You will never equip it at level 70, and either of the other quest rewards are superior for levelling. It's much better to have an item that will help you for 8-10 levels than one which will never help you, ever. I am currently levelling a hunter and I plan on taking the trinket. As a BM-spec hunter, it will stack nicely with BW, TBW, Rapid Fire, and Blood Fury for some insane burst damage! The spear is a good choice as well if you aren't taking the IBS from the AV quest.

Now there's no need to even wait until Outlands to get a better trinket. If you complete the quest http://classicdb.ch/?quest=5128 in Winterspring, you will get a passive +50 attack power trinket.

To those mulling over which to get, just get whatever item is the best upgrade for you with your current gear. If you find the spear gives you the best upgrade, so be it.

Finished the quest this afternoon at 54.

Actually had a two high levels and a 49 pally helping, so easier.

Morphaz does not pull anything else.

You do have to fight your way around to his hallway though.

Enter the instance and go left up stairs.

Fight the Whelps and Dragonkin at top of stairs. Directly opposite where you came up stairs is the hallway to him...Fight your way back to him and out.

Took Devilsaur tooth based on suggestions here.

Kill all other dragonkin around because Morphaz and his companion call out for help. Good Xp from those guys anyways. A group of 5 will do just fine as long as one can do some healing. We cleared the entire room then we took out the drakes. The main dragon won't wake up unless you defeat jammal first. You can walk right up to him and take screen shots without him waking up:)

Morphaz is found inside Sunken Temple. If my memory serves me right, he's one of the dragons just before the final boss (Shadow of Hakkar or something like that). You should be able to get a group for it at lvl 52ish.

My take on the items:

The pet crit trinket is useless, my pet already got 20% crit chance.

The 150 AP bonus trinket seems nice, but personally I can't be bothered switching trinkets around every 2 minutes.

The spear is nice at lvl ~50, not everyone may want to spend a hefty sum of gold on 2x Dawn's Edge. Certainly not end-game and I doubt any lvl 60 hunter will take it (for any other reason than vendoring).

Personally I'll be going with the spear, should keep me happy till barborous blade or similar.

still lots of contraversy over the tooth vs eye thing but I'd just like to add my own personal anecdotal story. Make of it what you will, it's just my story and is in no way representative of other people's calculations or figures.

2.0 attack cat. pet with prowl lv 3

BM tree with:

ferocious inspiration, frenzy, beastial wrath.

prowl 3 adds 50% dmg + auto crit with tooth + instant frenzy + 3% bonus to everyone guaranteed...

I activated bestial wrath just after sending the pet in. Bestial wrath does NOT break prowl so it does about 300-450 damage off the first hit as well as triggering a 3% dmg bonus to me at the very least if solo.

I do about 180-200 dmg per shot. that's 6 more dmg per hit for 10 sec making it add 60 dmg total. In a party, everyone gets the bonus and if my pet is frenzy, it'll probably add alot more crits overtime and get more ferocious inspiration.

With a party of 5, it is almost a no brainer to use the tooth over the eye since everyone doing more damage is going to out do anything one person can do by himself.

The main thing is that this tooth is amazing for prowl. Yes many pets attack quickly and you may get a frenzy earily in the fight but it is still a rare i.e. 10% chance of getting it on the first prowl hit.

The tooth is much less useful in the molten core where pet use is less important, but then again I like my other trinkets instead of the eye or tooth by those levels.

By lv 70, I would love to retest the differences. I am nearly positive a prowl + crit + earily frenzy + 3% bonus dmg is going to out class the eye by a large amount.

Take one of the 2 trinkets for a couple reasons:

1.Polearm doesn't have agil at all

2.You'll keep trinket unless you find some better ones in UBRS/LBRS or MC.

3.There are alot better polearms available at the same lvl.

4.The Polearm sucks even for Survival Hunters.(I know there aren't many of them but they're there.)

You are Not a Moron just becuse you pick something else then the eye, but it is good, in instances, maybe its worth picking the BM trinket for 0.1% the reason for the low % is that your dmg>Pet dmg

If you are not sure about what you want to pick, get the eye, some might say that it is not the best for grinding, but it is the only one that you'll put to use when you start doing instances and you'r pet most likely wont be "In there fighting" to a 100%, and a pets dmg is not that high, but, its your coice, if you want the BM trinket, fine, but please, please, dont get the spear, just go win AV once, might take some time, but its better:) might not add up to the 1% crit, since you need 52~something agi for that, but you get more RAP(Ranged attack power) and stuff like that, and has some other neat bonuses as well

(dinged 52 while doing it) with a full group, well rounded (55 war, 52 priest, 51 druid, 51 rogue) I opted for the Devilsaur Tooth , being beast spec'd and I must say it's much better than I thought it would be. Unlike Intimidation, when you cast this item on your pet it stays (no duration till used). Great for pvp. Here's what I do. Cast this baby, then cast bestial wrath then dismiss pet. Bestial wrath = 18 sec-5sec dismiss=13 sec left of bestial wrath. Let your cool downs repop, call pet when needed, and your ready for 13sec of bestial wrath Plus you can recast that AND this trinket = 31 sec of bestial wrath and 2 garunteed crits with pet. Pretty awsome. Hope this helped

I did this quest with my lvl 60 hunter and a lvl 60 rogue.

It's quite easy to get to Morphaz at lvl 60 without killing any mobs, just sacrifice you're pet and feign death when needed.

Morphaz and Hazzas fly along a circular path, we killed Hazzas first and used feign death / vanish. Healed up and went for Morphaz. it only took a few minutes to complete this quest.

Is the Devilsaur Tooth's cool down 2 minutes, and also, I figured out that:
If you used the Devilsaur Tooth to critical hit and Frenzy talent maxed out, With a Fast attacking pet speed (like a cat), with 1.5 speed, about your level,
then used Bestial Wrath, your pet could do about 75-100 damage per 1.05 seconds, for 15 seconds.
Formula:
Pet damage (about 30-40 for me) + Bestial Wrath = 2 times damage (about 60-80 for me [average damage=70])
Pet speed (about 1.3 for me) + Frenzy = 30% faster speed (about 0.9 for me)
So according to that, 70 per 0.9 seconds, so damage per second of about 77.5, for 15 seconds would equal 1162.5 damage, for every 2 minutes.

Followed jbradfield's discription for getting to and seperating Morphaz and Hazzaz, but had a lot of trouble seperating them, but found that there is an easier way. By getting them to fight down close to Eranikus, he will summon all his children to him, and after they leave, Morphaz and Hazzaz will position themselves in one place instead of constantly moving, and is much easier to figure out the timming. I just shot Hazzaz ran down close to Eranikus, had my pet fight them and ran to the opposite end, and feigned death if needed, then used jbradfield's plan

A lvl 60 Hunter and myself (lvl 57 Hunter) went in Sunken Temple. Taking the third path from left entering instance, we went upstairs, ran past the first mob, FDed, then jumped off the balcony and headed towards the southern exit. Passed the mobs before the 2 Drakes and then FDed again. Brought out our pets and with some trial and error, we decided on killing Morphaz first (he's easier to kill than Hazzas). Hazzas would be attacking the pets while we and our pets would kill off Morphaz. Pets died, but we FDed and after reviving pets and resting, we easily killed Hazzas. Job done.
We both opted for the Devilsaur Eye.

Morphaz is very easily soloable with a 60 hunter.

Getting to Morphaz's room requires the standard charge-in-and-feign technique that you would use for bypassing any other such content. Upon entering the instance, take the second hall from the right and proceed up the steps all the way to the top. From here, make sure your FD is up run to the right and jump off the first ledge on your left. Run to the center of this room (but not down the hole), feigning as needed.

Morphaz's room is on the southernmost hall of this chamber. Again, wait for your FD and run past the one or two groups of dragons you should find. Sac your pet if need be and feign at the end of the hall (you should see Morphaz and Hazzaz flying in a circle in the room you are now standing on the edge of). Wait for them to pass you flying right and then run into the next room where you should see the Shade of Eranikus sleeping on the floor. Erinakus cannot be attacked or aggroed so feel free to use this room for whatever space you need.

You're going to have a very hard time fighting both dragons at once, but fortunately (and contrary to appearances) they are not linked. To split them (and fight Morphaz alone), shoot Hazzaz and immediately switch your target to Morphaz. Hazzaz should aggro with Morphaz following about half a second later. Make sure you're in firing range of the spot Morphaz will leash too and FD once both have aggroed. Morphaz should return to his position about a second or half-second before Hazzaz. During this very brief window, shoot Morhpaz with an Arcane Shot. He should aggro while Hazzaz is still in evade mode and split off without aggroing his partner. Pull him back into Eranikus's room and fight him well out of range of Hazzaz.

Once you have Morphaz alone, the fight is a cakewalk. Turn on Aspect of the Wild, sick your pet on him, and work him down. Mend Pet as needed, take a mana pot if need be, whatever. He should go down with very little trouble. Collect your tooth and either hearth out or repeat the procedure with Hazzaz if you want a free blue (it's the exact same fight but you don't have to aggonize over the pull).

Get back to Azshara and get your Devilsaur Eye because it DOES affect RAP (just like all +AP equipment) and the other options suck.
