Any of the small broodlings work for this quest. Fire the device at them, then kill them, and a crystal will spawn. Loot the crystal for the essence.

Also, be careful - the device has a *tiny* range.

This should be done at the same time as Dragonkin Menace (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=4182), since you need to kill Broodlings for that quest as well.

Comment by 34156

he was implying to "Dragonkin Menace (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=4182)"

Comment by 35082

For druids--Easiest way to do this is sleep the dragonkin, use item, kill and loot.
OR
War Stomp->use item-> kill & loot
(great for all taurens)

Comment by 49245

Found a really fast way to do this quest. If there are other people killing the dragonkin just run up and use the draco on them and when it dies you will get the broodling essence

Comment by Thottbot

Item isnt a ranged item. Walk up to the dragon Broodlings, I used the black ones, and use it. Dont get hit, it interupts the process. Best done with 2 or more people

Comment by Thottbot

...it doesn't even need to be your kill...it can be grey for you when it dies...so long as you shoot it when it's alive...

Comment by Thottbot

You�d better try 90,43.
Many more there, than at the coords above.
Well, at least, when I did the Quest.

Rick

find a broodling dragon, click on it like u are gonna attack from a distance, once your attack sites are locked on to it, right click on the gizmo the guy gives u to get the essence. You have to get close enough to allow it to work. Once you are close enough a bar graph shows up like any spell, or calling your horse, etc. when the bar graph runs through successfully the gizmo will shoot the dragon with some firework like stuff. this will not harm the dragon but the dragon will now be encumbered in a purplish fog with circular black streaks, kill the dragon. When the dragon dies a reddish orange crystal appears where he fell. When you correctly put your sites on it, a gold gear will appear. Right click for the gear's bar graph to appear and complete its time. A loot window will then appear with a red circular item that is the essnce. click on it. now u can do a regular loot on the dead dragon as well. As a note i had no trouble for me to complete the aiming and shooting of the dragon with the gizmo. I was able to solo this quite easily except for the annoying little scorpions that kept popping up

Comment by Thottbot

Forgot to say 90,43 are the best cords. watch out for the patroling eleite dragon though

Comment by Allakhazam

This can be easy, This can be hard if you read the instructions carefully, you should use the device you got from the NPC and then, kill the dragonkins

http://wow.rpgbeacon.com/quest.php?ID=407

here's the link how you should do

Comment by Allakhazam

Minus being ganked I found this quest being pretty easy at lvl 54 hunter, the cords listed above are correct

Comment by Allakhazam

Finished this one at 53 and got 5100 xp. Wasn't too difficult, just have to watch out for the elite wanderers.

Comment by Allakhazam

Its a matter of timing - you need no stun or any other trick spells. Just fire the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 after he blasts you. It will cycle before the whelp fires again so all you have to do is finish the kill in a normal manner.

You can make it difficult if you try.

Comment by Allakhazam

Put the device on a hotbar for easy access. The device doesn't have a long range, so you'll have to be fairly close to activate it, so you might aggro the whelp by proximity alone. You will defintitely aggro it when you activate the device.

The device acts as a short channeled cast (~2 seconds). If the whelp is already aggroed, its attack could interrupt your device use and force you to repeat it. As such, melee users should use the device to start the fight.

For ranged users, you can attack at range so long as you remember to close the distance to activate the device before you kill the whelp. This shouldn't be a problem for hunters/warlocks who can tank the whelp with a pet. As a mage, I cast fire ward and ice barrier, attacked from range a few times, and then counterspelled one of the whelp's fireballs. The whelp would close to melee range and I'd frost nova it. Then I could use the device without interruption and then hit it with an instant cast or two to kill it.

This quest can easily be soloed since the whelps are all single pulls. Most of the mobs in the area patrol short distances, so just be aware of your surroundings to avoid unwanted adds, particularly the 52+ drakes.

Comment by Allakhazam

how the hey.. do i pick up the cristals ?

Comment by Allakhazam

and the coordinates are?

Comment by Allakhazam

Very easy for a druid, just to make sure you dont aggro the dragonkin hibernate them first, then use the device, using the device does not break the hibernate :)

Otherwise a very annoying quest, every dragonkin spawn i went to there were lvl 60s camping and skinning =/

This quest leads to the quest called: Felnok Steelspring

Felnok Steelspring can only get the quest called: Chillwind Horns after completing the quest called: Felnok Steelspring

Comment by Allakhazam

At level 54 this got me 5100 XP and an increase in my reputation with Steamwheedle Cartel.

Comment by Allakhazam

At level 57 this got me 5100 XP and an increase in my reputation with Steamwheedle Cartel.

Comment by Allakhazam

no one cares how much xp you got and what lvl you are. we just want to know the coordinates.

Comment by Allakhazam

I did this as a 52 Warrior, and it's actually really easy to do.

I just switched to Berserker Stance, used Bloodrage, intercepted the dragon broodling and then immediatly used the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 on it. Then you just kill it, and right click the crystal that pops up after.

They'res tons of Dragon Broodlings just outside of Morgan's Vigil, just go out and turn right, and they're all over the place. =)

You can probably do it as any class too, all you have to do is stun it for the easiest. Or you don't even have to; at first, I'd let it shoot me, then as soon as he fires use the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900. It will finish before it fires again =D

1. look for black broodlings in the North East corner of the map
2. attack them. when they get to 20% health hit them with a stun of some sort
3. use the device given to you by the quest to cast the spell on them
4. once the black cloud appears on them finish them off. collect the crystal

PS. If you are attacking Elite mobs you are attacking the wrong thing!

Comment by Allakhazam

you gotta kill 52-53 elite dragonkins to complete the essence requirement of this quest because the broodlings are nowhere to be found. and at Level 57, these dragonkin are eating me solo! what the heck?

for a lvl 50 quest? and the rewards are worse than Uldaman AND Maraudon, and those are lv 40-48...

wtf kind of crack is Blizzard on? just some lame add on quests for the Horde side?

The range for the goblin dragon device is so close, that you aggro the dragonkin automatically, and then it interrupts the channeling for the machine. this quest makes no sense.

It's entirely possible that when I went thru this quest, someone else already eradicated the whelps in the area. so yes. both blind and dense and senile :) I don't remember if I ever completed this.

Just go to the east wall of the zone and you'll find plenty of Black Broodlings (around level 51). Keep an eye on possible elite adds.

Comment by Allakhazam

At lvl 60:

Rep increase with Steamwheedle Cartel increased by 250, almost 5g (4,96 if memory serves)

As a frost mage it's really easy, just use Ice Barrier and Fire Shield, go close to the whelp (if you're 60 you can use the item without drawing aggro from it but it's hard cause it's moving) , take it down.

Note that even if you draw aggro, black whelps (top right corner in Burning Steppes) do fire damage, so you got plenty of time before you even start taking damage.

Comment by Allakhazam

You must attack any kind of Broodling with to drop the Broodling Essence.

Comment by Allakhazam

For rogues this is easy. Just cheapshot, use the item, kill, and loot.

Comment by Allakhazam

The mobs are around the back of dreadmaul rock, the two back sides have whelps on them but watch out for the elites. 77,31 - 89,32 - 89,41 the whelps are at.

Comment by Allakhazam

what kind of S*it is this? by the time i can use the device the thing is aggroed and he hits me before it finishes working, i really hate this game

Comment by Allakhazam

Loc I found most of the Broodlings at were 29,54.

Hard because of all the possible ADDS including elite mobs.

Comment by ArxonHavenloft

Important note. Be sure to click on the crystal that forms after the mob dies. Took me a few attempts to realize what I was supposed to be doing.

Also, I don't appear to be getting crystals after killing elites. So maybe stick to the dragon whelps.

Comment by IvikN

I focking hate quests like this.
As a rogue you can't do much cause they interrupting with their fire shield when you just stand near them even if they are stunned, they interrupt with attacks and with casts. You have SO LITTLE window to actually use this focking item. Classic is full of annoying quests like this which is not fair to one or another class or to anyone.

Edit: Okay I refute my own message. With Cheap Shot and Instant use of this item from a skillbar is one way to do it easily. You have 4 second window to cast this 2 sec cast time item. SO Its kinda easy for rogues. I was using it from bag and only had time like once in a three mobs to use it properly. Putting it on skillbar did the trick.

Comment by virtueavatar

I couldn't confirm it, but I think Venomtip Scorpids share spawns with the Broodlings.

Comment by virtueavatar

Don't make the mistake of thinking this is just a random loot quest with a super low droprate. You have to use the item the goblin gives you on the broodling before you kill it, then you have to click the crystal on top of the body (not in its loot). It's easy to miss this because you're probably doing this quest a lot later than when you picked it up and it's not immediately obvious that "Broodling Essence" isn't just some random quest item loot.

Comment by Etuliela

Note that the quest doesn't care who kills the broodling as long as you've used the device on it. There can be a fair amount of competition for the whelps as they are also required for Dragonkin Menace, the start of the Onyxia attunement questline.

Broodling Essence

Bring 8 Broodling Essence and the Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 to Tinkee Steamboil at the Flame Crest in the Burning Steppes.

	Broodling Essence (8)
	Draco-Incarcinatrix 900 (Provided) (1)

Description

I have been studying the dragonkin of the Burning Steppes for weeks, and I think I've finally had a breakthrough! I created a device--I call it the Draco Incarcinatrix 900. It can capture the essence of dragon whelp broodlings!

Or, at least I think it can.

Here, take the device and zap a broodling in the Burning Steppes with it. While it's under the device's effects, defeat the broodling and its essence should be released.

If it is, then splendid! Bring me back samples so I can study them!
