Тропинка к шахте начинается по координатам 40/43

There are a couple "types" of goblins there. This quest can become difficult really quick because:
- The goblins respawn fast
- They have a ranged fire (dynamite) attack
- They're small and hard to see and it's easy to pull 2
- There are "Supervisor" type mobs that wander the entire area, once again making multiple pulls (and death) easy if you don't watch closely

If you are soloing, I recommend staying out of the back cave area. You'll easily get overcome by respawns if you aren't killing fast enough. The quest is doable by staying on the outside area of the camp, and just moving left to right and killing the outer most mobs.

Комментарий от Farmbuyer

Screw this quest. The "Tinkerer" mobs can repeatedly spawn mechanical adds that are immune to just about everything. Repeatedly dying because your target can't be hurt isn't worth the crap mace or the fire wand.

The coordinates are about 40,43 Go up in the hills,west of the cave you will find Foreman, Strip Miner, Surveyor and Tinkerer..
Kill them and you will drop "Singing Blue Crystal".
This quest gives about 330 XP - 3300 XP.

You may wish to watch out for Shadowmaw Panthers getting to location 41, 41. They and Stranglethorn Tigresses are skulking about.

The dynamite ranged attacks are a pain; if you're in a group try and remain split up so that not everyone gets their spell interrupted! The dynamite can distract you long enough that the goblin can close the distance and start hitting you. I was taking between 190 - 220 damage on average from those attacks.

I would reiterate that the respawn rate here is *scary*. And the drop rate of crystals is low enough to become a little frustrating.

Комментарий от Lisalv

The dynamites didn't interrupt my druids spells at all.
Anyhow, since the goblins tend to run away in fear, make sure to stand between the goblin you're fighting and the other goblins, this mostly makes the goblin run in another direction and not straight into a bunch of mobs.
The low drop rate is really annoying.

Комментарий от Thottbot

on their own, these guys are takeable. but as people said before, it gets really hairy if you go charging in. inch in, stay near path and wait till the dynamite flies.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Just kill all the guys at 40,44 THey drop it..

Комментарий от Thottbot

Get them from Venture Co. Strip Miners North of the Crsyalvein Mine but South of Balia' Mah Ruins. They camp ou in the mountains

Комментарий от Thottbot

I appreciate all the posts because I would have spent hours killing those dumb basilisks on the assumption that this actually had anything to do with the Crystal Vein mine. Basilisks are OK for grinding but only if you're a skinner. Half of the ones I whacked dropped nothing, nada, zippo; but the skins are worth 4-6S apiece at the AH. They also have this annoying "invisible stun" trick, where you've been stunned but don't know it until you try to do something to them. Very annoying for casters like my druid.

As the previous posters have said, take out the outlying goblins and try not to aggro the others because they sometimes come out in twos & threes, which is annoying at best and can be fatal to us leather & cloth armor guys. Fortunately the druid's travel form is good for escaping if you're not being stunned to death.

I found the crystal drops to be about 1 in 5 but the goblins dropped lots of other stuff like 2S, silk cloth, and a 1-handed sword (BoE-lvl 41) that the vendor paid 45S for. Not bad.

Edit:(7-2007) Can't believe I'm still here but where else would I be?

I have since done this quest with several other classes. It's neither easy nor really a lot of fun, and the rewards (unless you are looking for the specific items) are not worth the aggravation and armor repair bill.

But what I've had some luck with is saving the quest until you are 42 or 43, at which point it becomes a lot easier and even a little more satisfying as you mash these obnoxious twerps into the dirt and flatten their dime-store, erector-set robots. Not fun yet but....

Комментарий от Thottbot

loc is at 41,41

drop rate is about 1 in every 3....

great spot but be careful LOADS THERE!

Комментарий от Thottbot

Answer:
Just north of the arena, there will be two paths going to the right. These lead to the Crystalvein mine. DON'T go there, instead go just north of the paths and along the hillside you'll see them. Careful though, they tend to stay within ear shot of another. Solod this at 40, not bad. Although being a hunter and throwing on Track Humanoids helped.

Комментарий от Thottbot

Okay.
The real coords are : 40,43
Up in the hills,west of the cave
Kill them goblin-strip miners!

Комментарий от Thottbot

40,43 Is location.
Non cosmos directions.

Go north on trail past arena.. Head east through tigers and you will barely see the miners. They are mining in hills all around and you may not see them with the valleys. They call out for help and throw dynamite, so if you can pull them do so! I am a 42 warlock and never died, but pulled 3 twice and barely survived. They hit hard. Some of the miners have a little robot that also attacks that are level 40. The miners are level 40,41,42. If you follow the trail up you will go into a camp of them and after that into a mine. There are 3 miners in there. There are no shards on ground, just on drops from miners. They also drop broken lanterns and lots of silk.

Комментарий от Thottbot

These guys are the nastiest, most unrelenting mobs thus far in the game --- and they don't get much worse until maybe Searing Gorge. They come out of nowhere, some with their little robots, throw bombs at you from hiding, and have a poor drop rate. Even the little laugh is annoying. And if you try to outrun them, you'll run into shadow panthers and tigers while they throw bombs at you to the road. This was my third character to encounter them, and I concluded that not every, single quest has to be done!

Комментарий от Thottbot

I was a 41 rogue and I solo'd this quest pretty easy. I know I could've solo'd it just AS easy if I was a few levels lower.

1. You don't actually have to go INTO the camp, just outside by the hills. It's just north of the mining vein, not actually in the vein. So if you see a bunch of Basilisks, you're too far south.

2. Equip your melees with 2 poisons:
a) crippling poison so when they try to run they won't get as far
b) with deadly/wound poisons so they die quicker and when they try to run, they'll be "poisoned to death"

3. If it LOOKS like one might aggro while you're attacking another one, take precautions and sap the goblin and see what the other one close by does. After you sap (and the other goblin close doesn't aggro), let your energy refill, backstab, sinister strike until you get 5 combo points, kidney shot or eviserate depending on how low they are and how worried you are they'll aggro another guy.

If you're only attacking one guy and the other guy doesn't see you, ambush/rupture, sinister strike > 5cp, then eviserate or kidney shot. Easy as pie.

Surveyors droped 3 in 3
Foremans droped 2 in 5
Strip Miners droped 5 in 16

Комментарий от Allakhazam

41,41 is right....just work that area. It's all you need to do.

easily soloable as a 39 priest...bout 1 in 3-4 drop for me...took no time at all.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Just go to 40,41 and keep killing the ones outside the mine since they respawn fast .

Their first attack when they see you they will throw a stick of dinamite that does 150-220 dmg their avg hit is like 50dmg .

Really easy compared to what the Naga hit .

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As a lv 44 shaman: Got one crystal (out of 10 required) after 20 kills.

Abandoned immediately. NOT worth it unless you REALLY need the reward.

41,41 is the coords in case you have nothing better to do for 3 hours.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Solo'ed as a 39 Shaman, easy peasy. They spawn far enough apart, so it is easy to stay add-less :)
Droprate of about 50% for me, and the reward is not that bad either

Комментарий от Allakhazam

37 Druid - I did this quest at first by myself and it wasn't so bad. I just stayed on the outskirts and kept tracking on so I wouldn't be pulling more than one. The first six goblins I killed, I got a crystal each time. I ended up grouping someone in the end, but I completed this quest in about 40 minutes.

Maybe my low leveled increased the drop rate, because the person I was grouping with (43) only got one in the time span that I got four.

I got 3300 XP for completing this quest at level 40 (plus a nice mace). My experience with Booty Bay "increased".

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This is actually a very productive grinding quest for under level 41 questers. At level 39 I banged out four experience bars during the quest and did something like two gold in miscellaneous looted goodies. True, the drop rate for the crystals is lousy, but it was probably good that it wasn't faster as this quest is more profitable than a lot of others. It is boring, but when you consider travel time for quicker quests and this one is probably worth two faster ones. Keep the following things in mind for this quest:

1. Be patient and work the perimeter. The miners respawn quickly. If you enter into the mining hills you liable to get nailed by a respawn, plus you can get double teamed because you can't always see those little guys behind the hillocks.

2. Leave the tinkers alone and avoid engaging them, especially if you're a caster. The little robots that travel with them pack a punch, plus they can't be drained or feared, so nuking is the only option and you get nothing out of them and killing them will drain you.

3. Be mindful of what's behind you as this is a panther and tiger area and while the tigers usually don't get in too close to the area you're working, the panthers do, so if you're not minding what's behind you it might just bite you.

4. The miners will heave a stick of dynamite when they're aggroed and even though it isn't lethal, it's not hard to avoid if you know it's coming. As a caster, here's what I did and it worked very well. Aggroed from a distance with COA and immediately backed up and launched my Voidwalker. The dynamite always fell short of me and beyond my pet. Drain tanking the miners was easy with very little health or manna bleed.

Just be patient and realize that if you're below the recommended quest level you should profit by this quest, both by goodies and progress towards the next level.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Unless you can actually use the reward and have a very good group, I find that it is just NOT worth the hassle.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Managed to do solo as a level 42 troll sham. Drop rate was quick enough, and the reward sells for good money if you don't need it.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

yeh 41, 41 is right. I did this solo as a lvl 38 hunter and got a 1 in 3 drop. I stuck to the outskirts too which is good advice. Spawn rate good as well.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Its like other people said, the droprate is quite low and they tend to run and agro others without some careful stuns.
Not to mention the Tinkers are annoyingly good with their little robot friends.

Soloed it as a level 39 rogue, without any serious difficulty (just lots of annoying bits!)

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i soloed this as a lvl 39 priest. I just stayed on the fringes and was careful and ran when more than 1 came after me, 41,41 cocmos coords

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This quest sucks. If you agro a Serveyor the entire camp will aggro

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The drop rate kind of sucked for me, but I got two +5 mining enchant formulas from doing it. :D

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Drop rate is sucky... and all the other beast around did it difficould to hold agro from one in a row!

Did this quest as 37-38 mage! took me a loong time!
liek 5 Singing Blue Crystals after 100 kills!

Just completed this with my 38 Druid. Not really a problem, as long as you pull one at a time. I never went over the ridge into the main camp, just trailed along the edges and picked off one at a time. Half caster-mode, half cat-mode.

The trick is to keep em from adding, so you have to pull one a ways away from the rest, or he'll run back and get help.

Not the most exciting way to play it, take one out, then another, and another. Then wait for respawn, do it again. But it got the job done. :)

I avoided the Tinkerers with their bots. Just did the miners. Had about 40% drop rate.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I solo'd this quest as a 39 pally. The location is about half way between the Ruins of Ziaja'tai and the Ruins of Jubuwal. If you are leaving the arena and heading N there's a piece of the road thats pretty Zigzaggy. Right before you get to where it straightens out take a R and go into the hills. There are stranglethorn Tigresses roaming about there. I would pick off the Miners close to the bottom of the hill and didn't go too far into the hills because I would get pulls of 2 or more. Sometimes I had to take on 2 at a time, but I never died. I would say every 3-4 kills would give me a blue crystal.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

The goblins you need to kill in this quest are NOT the ones on the far north end of Stranglethorn as you might think. They are located just south of the Bali'Amah ruins, east of the main trail. There are some hills south of the ogre mound, yet west of the Zul'Mamwe ruins. You'll find numerous "Venture Company Strip Miners" as well as "Foremen", and other goblins in the area. They are grouped fairly tight together, so multiple-add pulls are common. Most of these goblins are 41 and above. There are also Venture Co. Tinkerers who will spawn mechanical pets during a fight, so be prepared. However, every goblin that is 40 or higher can potentially drop the crystals.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

As a 42 warrior, this is a good quest to get XP in the process. The christals are not that frequently dropped, but that doesn't matter when XP is involved ;) You will get there eventually...

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Just did this as a 44 priest, was a little backed up on a few quests.. For the low drop rate it came as a nice grind quest, got a blue while I was at it, as mentioned before, 41,41 are the correct coordinates.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

So poeple can find this location with out the use of cosmo like addons. The goblins are located on a set of hills that are situated as follows.
East of the road, south of the Balia'Mal ruins, West of the Zul"mamwe ruins, and north of Crystalvein Mine. The area between the road and the hills has tigerress roaming all over it. Drop rate is 1 crystal for ever 3-4 kills. But every goblin there can drop a crystal.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I got 3700 exp for this quest as a level 40 hunter and as long as you keep to the outskirts of the place you should be alrigh

Комментарий от Allakhazam

41,41

This quest is not easy although most mobs are at 40-41. The problem is that they all linked. Recommend to do with at least 2.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Easily soloable for my lvl 40 pally. There are several single pull miners with decent respawn rates on the ridges near the road. I did have to use my protection spells a few times when the tinkers ganged up.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Started this quest as a 39 priest with a 39 lock, still not done. The respawn rate is very quick. Sometimes they respawn right on side of me as I was fighting another. might be best to stick to the outskirts or group with others

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Got fairly lucky with kills, didn't just focus on the workers, killed tinkerers and foremans too.

level 40 beast mastery hunter.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I don't know if I was just lucky, but I ended up getting a crystal out of every 2-3 miners killed. Simple, fast, and good exp (3330) for a level 43 hunter.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

cool, it's right

Комментарий от Allakhazam

just solod with my 41 mage, np. blizzard must have fixed the drop rate because it was about 75% for me. watch out the little bastards throw dynamite, and the casters create lvl 40 robots that suck

Комментарий от Allakhazam

You can actually finish this quest, without going to that area. The lower level venture co. camp (34-35 npc's, west of the trail) has a lvl 38 foreman up in the tower. He actually drops the required item... just have to wait for respawns ... good if you cant solo the other area.

Комментарий от qhiiyr

If you're on a PvP server and having trouble with the opposite faction, travel north towards the troll camp, with the hills on your right, and circle back around to the south once you can climb up on top of them. The hills are close enough to ranged pull the goblins, but high enough that you can avoid PvP.

Комментарий от borgqueen

As a Level 41 Druid who is Restoration and has lower physical ability espically when mobbed. I got upto a ridge at 42.75,43.95. This has a nice area overlooking the whole of the site including the cave entrace. To find way up you can then used ranged abilities to pull, run back and take them on on their own. You will not be disturbed bar the odd NPC minining near edge. Just make sure you pull carefully and you can get this quest done easilty in good time. I am lucky to be able to shadowmelded up here, but if you fight your way up and die, res up here and you will be laughing.

Комментарий от Kraagor55

I'll never, ever do this quest again. After six or eight alts doing it, I've found that it's worth it to not bother. Just go to the Venture Company Operations Center and kill the foreman - over and over - until you get ten of the stupid gems. Oh, yes, you have to log out for five or so minutes, then log back in and kill his two buddies on the top tier of the operations center, then you can kill him again. Apparently (at least, in Classic WoW), if you don't log out while he's respawning, you won't get a singing shard the next time you kill him.
