It only says "splashed with poisonous blood", perhaps indicating you only need to kill them with the chance of the being splashed on you.

<<HERE IS THE REAL DEAL ON THIS QUEST AND OBTAINING THE MOUNT>>

The mount is obtained by being splashed by the Ravasaur's venom 2,000 times.

http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=14108 Is the spell.

The mount and quest IS NOT implemented in patch 3.1

The mount and quest is HORDE ONLY.

I am not too sure why I was downrated, everything I linked/wrote is the truth..

Comment by smiley001

"This" - the whole ravasaur mystery - was THE hot-topic back in Vanilla-WoW for a long period. I'm suprised how many people have simply lost any recollection of the huge petition threads, or the few hilarious "theory-threads" that spawned left and right caused lack of official responses :)

There where two NPC's; Arin'Sor and Mor'Vek who resided within Un'Goro that were part of the horde-aligned faction <Ravasour Trainers>
As of Patch 2.0, they went missing without a trace
Somewhere inbetween the thousands of threads dedicated to these trainers, I believe blizzard admitted its original intent.

The most plausible rumour was that blizzard "disabled" the quests in fear of Un'Goro being flooded end-game players while it was considered a leveling-zone. Alliance farms for 'their' special mount in Winterspring, which was an end-game zone anyway.

What I remembered/could dig up from archives :)

Comment by Qmccumber

After grinding the wintersaber on two separate toons (one pre 1.1), I am certainly looking forward to camping this NPC.

No horde on my server will be the first world wide to earn this mount.

And who knows, maybe they will implement the mount as a drop from the NPC... based on the number of times the wintersaber quest giver was killed, people certainly thought he would drop that mount.

Nothing to see here folks. Just a classic Alliance #$%^&*! who feels that Horde shouldn't get their chance at an OMGWTFPAININASSGRIND mount.

Also. Just because maybe one or two Hordies killed your "ub3r prec1ous" quest-giver, you feel the need to turn around and make other people, who probably had no frickin' clue about you in the first place, suffer for it?

I bet you picked on the nerds IRL too, because you got picked on.

* The ravasaur trainer Mor'vek has returned to Un'Goro and will offer to help Horde players raise and train a Venomhide Ravasaur as a mount... if they can survive the creature's deadly poison.

yupyup.

Who else can see an 80 /lay - ing down while one just beats on them for hours on end?

Comment by starrdumbb

I'm currently doing this on PTR. In the PTR the quest is only get splashed 20 times, I believe it will be changed to 2000 though when it goes live. I'd say it took me 7-10 mins to get splashed 20 times. Just to verify, it is a getting beat on quest, I pulled three and turned my back to let um hit me. Once you finish this quest you will be given another that says to go find 4 ravager eggs, took about 30 seconds you just go to piles of their eggs and pick um up, don't know if it will remain 4 when it goes live. Turn that in and you get a cute little ravasaur companion which can be summoned, and you get another quest that requires you to obtain 20 baby teeth, 20 ragged leather, and 20 runecloth. Talk to your little cutie and he'll give you a daily quest to feed him 10 pieces of bug meet, which is obtained in south Un'goro. I'm guessing that you will get different dailies to feed him different kinds of food each day. Complete that daily and you get 1 baby tooth. Making it require at least 20 days to obtain this mount, have fun. I'll do this on another toon to test how long it takes to get splashed 20 times and get a specific time back soon.

Comment by 303838

It seems that you only get splashed if you are HITTING the revasaurs. Best thing to do is to unequip your weapon and beat on em with your fists while AFK

Comment by 308123

That's not the worst. In the Alpha of this plan, it was OVER 9000 times.

Comment by 265671

Couldn't do this at 80. Even unarmed they die too fast. Can't imagine this going live. Everyone fighting for 20 spawns...

Tried the turning my back on them method, nothing.

Comment by Nitemayre

You receive the debuff from these guys, which in turn counts toward your quest. It seems to be random, but I don't know if it was just me, but I seemed to have a higher chance of receiving the DoT when I cured the poison. Good luck to all of those who are grinding their way to this mount!

Comment by Azaram

Go naked, and bring the lowest possible DPS weapon you can find. As a hunter, with unarmed of about 290, I hit for 440 (900 crit) unarmed with my gear on, 100/200 without. Maybe something like one of the Argent tournament lances with their 0.7 DPS...

Be prepared to be very annoyed, with everyone trying to do this quest on an extremely limited number of spawns that die very quickly.

It is possible to get multiple splashes from one raptor, but they tend to die too fast to get more. Mages may have an easier time, being able to sheep-heal theirs.

Comment by DoomedDomain

Follow-up is Venomhide Eggs, given by Mor'vek.

Comment by 212003

mages dont even need to sheep heal... there unarmed crits for like 6... my skill in unamred is maxed and you dont even THINK about hitting 7 or higher

if you do want to not wait for spawns you could sheep heal... but there's no point because most people kill them after 1 or 2 poisons and they spawn back really quick... so imma guess mages or priests will get this easiest

Comment by 66849

Just some things I did when I did this on my mage on the PTR to get this done fast;

If the raptor is dying and you for some reason haven't got all your poisons (this is unlikely, you only hit for like 6-12 and that's with maxed out Unarmed skill which is unlikely for a Mage on the live realms so you probably won't hit the raptors anyway) just Polymorph it, let it get to full and start the routine over.

Took approximately 10 minutes to get all the poisons but this was on the PTR with nobody else in the zone. So expect it to take a lot longer with a lot of players running around also trying to complete this quest - some of them might kill "your" raptor because they're frustrated and just want another one to respawn.

The followup, Venomhide Eggs, seems to be less frustrating but might also be a pain on the live servers where probably everybody will be doing these quests the first days since in this quest you have to pick up 4 eggs in the area - was smooth and easy on the PTR where no one else was in the zone but on live, well, yeah... The eggs are located in the same nest you have to go to in the quest The Scent of Lar'korwi.

NB: On the PTR I only had to get poisoned 20 times and that took approximately 10 minutes. If Blizzard stick to 255 if will take pretty much ages, if they go with 2000 it's just insane. Anyway, mages can still do it this way since you can go afk and not worry about dying.

Comment by whitedragon254

its only 255 times despite what it says.

Comment by Flakgun

Is this a single time quest? or do you need to repeat it?

Comment by 299093

umm...

Heck they should make the dimetradons mounts.

ok they have some big spikes....
i dont wanna sit on that

devisaur? ya that be cool, but they would be WAAAAAAAAY too big.
you wouldn't be able to get in the huge gate to enter Iron Forge

Comment by 246906

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=10515 may be the ideal weapon for this. The torch counts as a melee weapon, but anything hit by it takes 0 damage. It is not any class of weapon, so there is no weapon skill to alter it, and as long as you're auto attacking you'll remain in combat and the enemy will continue to attack you. I say "may" because you may have to actually deal damage in order to receive the poison debuff. I haven't had a chance to try it, but I will once I have an opportunity.

If this weapon does work for this, be sure to be mindful of your health. Even at 80 you'll take damage, and unless you have a way to heal you'll need to stop eventually. You'll also be taking durability damage, so removing your armor may not be a bad idea.

Edit: Just finished some initial testing with the torch. I tried 5 different Venomhide Raptors for 5 minutes each and attacking with nothing but the torch. I received the debuff 0 times. This does not necessarily mean it doesn't work, but it doesn't look good. As I explained here, I haven't had the best of luck with regular weapons. All of my testing has been done on Live Servers so far. I'll be attempting more tests on the PTR tonight.

Edit 2: After some PTR testing, I have come to the conclusion that the Torch is a horrible method for this. I tried the same tests as before, 5 raptors with 5 minutes each, and received 0 applications of the poison. As comparison, as an unarmed warlock I completed all 20 applications on a single raptor in 6 minutes 34 seconds, and a total of 10 minutes to kill the creature. My guess is that it does indeed require you to actually deal damage in order to receive the debuff. So find a way to deal low damage, and use it, such as an Argent Lance or a Spare Hand. Not the Torch.

Toxic Tolerance (this page)

look at the tooltip...

"Item Level 53" ... ...riiight...

Edit:

I just noticed this for all quest pages on the PTR Wowhead.

Comment by 175550

3.2 is live today and the first thing I did was go try out this quest.

1. group up. you can get credit for the venom stacks from far-ish away when your other party members get it on them. This means if someone is attacking one, ask for an invite instead of being a prick and killing it for them.
2. you must hit the venomhide ravasaur. turning your back to them and letting them hit you does not work.
3. kill other ravasaurs if you don't see the venomhides. they share spawn points.
4. go naked. slap fight the ravasaurs so they die slower.
5. bring a mage. poly = not having to fight others for spawns.

Comment by Rovillien

is it possible to fight em while some one heals you?

Comment by Dhallia

I did this today pretty simply. I disarmed my weapons, and punched a few venomhides not enough to kill any of them, just enough to make them mad at me, and just stood there not attacking, letting them try to hit me. about 10 minutes later I had all 20 things I needed and hadn't killed a single venomhide.

you might have to kill a group, heal up and repeat if you get too low on health, but it works like a charm :)

Comment by Dhallia

on a side note, this quest and it's follow ups count for loremaster of kalimdor, and towards 3000 quests

Comment by vargus

Some people believed that even though it was 20 on the PTR, it'd still be 2000 on live, but luckily it is still 20 on live. This officially makes it a LOT easier than the Wintersaber grind (currently doing both on 2 characters)

Comment by 86842

You have to hit them and be hitted by them to gain poison. I strongly suggest being in party with someone because if member does get the stack, it will be accounted for you too.

Comment by 403811

Just found this out and thought i would share.

For players lvl70+ you can go to Icemist Village in Dragonblight. The spider creatures there will also use a poison attack that will count toward this quest, and it goes buy much faster. Got all 20 in less than 5min.

Comment by Atsrik

Did this yesterday, the best thing to do I found is to go unarmed and take off all your armor, then proceed to punch the dinosaurs to death. Also, strangely enough when you group, everyone in the group gets credit whenever one person gets poisoned.

In short, expect to see large groups of naked horde players punching out venomous dinosaurs in Un'Goro in the near future.

Comment by 31022

It should be noted that on 3.2 live this is now 20 applications of poison, not 2000. I stripped naked and bareknuckled about 6 or so Venemous Ravasaurs and finished it easily.

Comment by salfredo

Realy easy as a prot warrior.
Strip yourself but let your shield,taunt a ravasaur and let the damage shield do the job.
If you give them your back,you wont be parrying nor evade the atacs

Comment by 295579

The best advice I have to say for this quest, and pretty much anything in life:
Do it naked.

Comment by eufouria

I found this pretty easy on my level 60 priest. For the first quest I just equipped my skinning knife and auto-attacked it, healing myself when it was needed. I only did about 20% damage to the one that I was attacking and managed to get 20 applications of poison. I noticed I was resisting the poison quite often so I can imagine it would be harder for a level 80 to do it, because they'll resist the poison more often.

Another thing is that you seem to have to hit the ravasaur to be poisoned so its a good idea to bring a weapon like a skinning knife that doesn't train any skill. I hardly missed when I was attacking and was hitting the ravasaur for 3 damage, however my friend who was a level 69 druid took much longer because he used his bare hands and ended up just training his unarmed skilled on them until he was high enough to hit them. Then he started to become poisoned very quickly.

Also I read this page before doing the quest and was under the impression that you had to do this quest 20 times, but you only have to do this once.

Comment by 232509

Use an Argent Lance. It only hits for about 15 on a crit on my Priest.

Comment by Windriver

As a bonus, this quest DOES count for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Comment by MegasAxelias

*****HUNTER COMMENT******

This might help any 80 or high lvl hunters doing this quest. Very easy. Beast tracking til you find a venomhide. Once you have one take off ***ALL*** your gear and weapons. Put on aspect of the monkey. Hit the venomhide since you can only get poisoned by hitting them. When they finally are about to die (don't push your luck past 15%) feign death. They're back at full health rinse and repeat. I got my quest off of just one venomhide.

Comment by Chumpacabra

Remember to take off any nature resistances you might have. Doing this last night on my druid I was stuck at 3, when all of the sudden my Mark of the Wild fell off and I got about 5 applications within the minute.

Comment by 428037

only reason you're looking here is because you skip step ONE! Read the quest.

Find and kill all Venomhide Ravasaur you can find... (remeber to use melee on target)

Comment by bloodysir

For some reason they thought that un'goro was a leveling zone and they didnt want hundreds of end game players flooded there so they lowered it to 20 times i did it on a lvl 53 warrior a healer and a paladin and we got all 20 on both mobs

Comment by 438088

Northrend ----> Dragonblight ----> Icemist Village. Dark Spiders cast same debuff. 5 min. of boxing - and the quest is complete. =)

Comment by 438109

When I was doing this quest on my 80 hunter, I realised how fustrating it was to try and do this. Although I did find a trick that can help me out if there is only 1 ravasaur up, and im sure can help many other hunters out. Obviously you have to take off your weapons *and armor* and attack them, but feign death when the mob is nearly dead which will reset it's health, allowing you to attack again. Just keep that sequence up and the quest should be done in no time.

Comment by 438136

Clearing some quick confusion for those who don't know:
It involves getting 20 splashes of venom on you, received while beating on Venomhide Ravasaurs in melee. Anything with ridiculously low DPS helps, mages/locks/priests kind of have it easy, as we're not really known for melee damage anyway. (Then again, as seen below, I'm not an 80...this could differ.) The reward for completing it is something like 5.5g, and leads to the second quest Venomhide Eggs.

My experience with this quest last night, as a 60 Priest:

The poison splashes are a 30 second debuff with 10 ticks, relatively low damage easily countered by a Renew or a similar HoT. It appears not to stack, not sure about refreshing...the chance of receiving the DoT was too low to even see if there is a refresh.
Each time you get poisoned, it counts as a splash for the quest. No, you don't need to do the quest 20 times, nor do you have to run back to the trainer for every splash, etc. Its like a gathering quest: get a splash, let it expire, try to get it again, rinse repeat 19 more times, quest complete.
As the tooltip above says, when you receive the debuff, you get a 5 minute buff to your equipped weapon of chance-on-hit poisoning to your target, lasting either said 5 minutes or for 15 charges. The 5 minute timer on it refreshes with every consequent poison splash you receive from a Ravasaur. Obviously, the Ravasaurs are immune to their own poison.
It seems that the poison splashes don't occur with a shield on (Power Word: Shield and the like). I may be wrong, but through the durations of my shields, those splashes never occurred.
Also seems faster to receive the poison splash when you change Ravasaurs. Basically: find a Venomhide Ravasaur, whack it with your melee weapon, stop attacking and let it wail on you until you receive a poison splash, kill it, find a new one, rinse, repeat. I say this only because finding one and letting it hit you for forever, after about 10 minutes, I still had only received a single splash. This might be different for someone else, this was just my personal experience with it! People are reporting having one whack away at you for a while nets all 20 splashes required, anyway.

All in all, this first part took about 20 minutes, wasn't too bad. They respawn fast enough for 20 people running around, sometimes in groups. Just beware the random Ironhide Devilsaur patrolling through the area - they hurt! The next two parts of the quest should take all of 5 minutes.

Happy mount questing, and see you all in 20 days with your new mounts. :P

Comment by 158834

Just thought I'd post these tips, didn't see them before.

Hit them with your bare fists; it's not worth the trouble of grabbing something weaker unless you have it already.

If you're a hybrid-healer class and have a healing set, put it on. This lets you fight with base strength (so you don't kill fast) without killing your armor. As a paladin, I put on a healing set and hit the venomhides for less than 200 non-crit, letting me get off a lot of hits before the raptors got low.

If the venomhides are far and few between (lots of people doing the quest), reset the raptors, don't kill them. Once the raptor is within a hit of dying, untarget them and turn away so you won't kill them. Then strafe away. As soon as the raptor resets, mount and follow it back. This should let you hit the raptor just as its health refills ^.^.

Using these tricks, I got the quest done in about 10 minutes. Good luck and enjoy your ravasaur :D!

Comment by ElLual29

My agrent lance seems to work perfect for this quest. It only does 1-3 dmg. :)

Comment by brionl

If the venomhides are rare, KILL THE REST OF THE RAVASAURS. They all share the same spawn table, so if you kill the other types, you get more venomhides spawning.

WAT

o.o Is this a WoWhead mispell or something..?

Comment by 398300

When you are fighting the raptors you will get a Buff at the same time as the toxin. It's a 5 minute duration weapon buff like rogue poison. If you don't notice it or ignore it it will prevent you from being poisoned again for 5 minutes. This will make your completeing this quest super long. 6 poisons in I noticed this.

the buff is however, right clickable. This allowed me to get nearly 3 poisons from the remaining raptors finishing the quest very quickly.

Comment by Mogs

i found the best weapon to use on this to be http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46106 simply unequip all your gear on only equip the weapon. 5 mins for all 20 applications. at level 80

Comment by 266352

I found out the greatest thing doing this quest as a hunter. FEIGN DEATH! If you find a Venomhide Ravasaur (and yes this is the ONLY one that will give you the poison you need) you have to take off all your gear (trinkets and all) put on the lowest dps weapon around and just start hitting it. Which is also the only way to get the poison (turning your back on it will not give it to you). You can Feign Death when the Venomhide Ravasaur is low and then the the mob goes back to full health. So it is entirely possible to keep this strategy up as long as you remember to Feign before the mob dies. Its so much easier to do this then to keep finding new ones to kill! Happy hunting!

Comment by 439344

The minimum level for this quest is NOT 1. So far I've tried to pick this up with my rogue at level 45 and 46, both times the NPC has a silver ! above his head. I'm guessing the required level for this quest (and hopefully the whole chain) is 47. Anyone have a 47 horde to confirm?

Comment by TheHolm

Healing set + no weapon + travel form works just fine for me. 15 AFK and quest done.

Comment by 330872

Just finished this quest on my 80 Rogue (Unarmed 400). Stripped naked and beat them unarmed. Killed 5 before I got poisioned 20 times (about 15 min). Not too bad really. I spent about as much time looking for a new one to kill as fighting. Just watch out for wandering mobs.

Comment by 419472

Available at lvl 48. I just did it.

Comment by Kartio

There is currently a bug(?) which allows you to complete this quest ridiculously fast.
The thing is to go to Icemist Village in Dragonblight and kill the Anub'ar Slayers. They apply the same poison to you and therefore gives credit for this quest. And the area is crowded with those mobs so the quest will only take 5 minutes if done there.

Comment by Gandudan

Did this today on my 50 paladin with a 50 rogue.We were grouped and just pulled one or two each and left it on autoattack.We killed around about 12-15 although i wasn't counting.Took about 20 minutes i reckon.(The credit for the blood spatters are shared in a group ) Not nearly as monotonous as i was expecting.The next quest is ridiculously easy getting 4 eggs, but the follow up was the hardest.Getting 20 meats to feed the little bugger (Ok cute little bugger).We killed any thing that moved (Pterrodax,Diemetradons as well as the elite Dinos) and every single one dropped the meat required. Getting the mats and gold for the rest of the quest is not really that tough in my opinion.The fact that it will take 20 days is the hardest part of it all.But sometimes things are worth waiting for :)

Comment by 180437

EZ as EZ can be... I did this on my level 80 rogue with ONE Ravasaur.

Step 1: Find a Ravasaur
Step 2: Get Naked (if your toon is higher level so as to allow longer melee)
Step 3: Hand to hand it until it or you are almost dead
Step 4: Break melee any way your toon can
Step 5: Heal
Step 6: Repeat Steps 1 through 5 until you have 20 poisonings

Cheers!

Toxic Tolerance leads to the quest Venomhide Eggs

Toxic Tolerance is a very annoying quest because you have to be doing damage to the Venomhide Ravasuare for it to be able to bleed on you. The higher level you are the harder of a time you will have with this quest.

Once you do compelte the Toxic Tolerance quest you will then continue o to Venomhide Eggs

Venomhide Eggs is a very easy quest. Just got to the egg piles that you went to for the Lar'korwi quest The Scent of Lar'korwi

Once you are done that you will receive the quest They Grow Up So Fast. This quest gives you a non combot pet that takes up bag space that you summon that will give you a daily quest. Completeing the daily quest will give you a venomhide baby tooth.

To complete They Grow Up So Fast you will need the following

Venomhide Baby Tooth x20
Runecloth x20
Rugged Leather x20
Gold x80

and then presto you have yourself a Venomhide Ravasaur Mount

Comment by triggz

You only need 1 raptor to do this- As others stated, strip and box 'em naked but just take him down to about 10% hp, stop attacking then run away. He'll drop combat and reset to 100%. Eat some food and start over! Got all my poisons in just a few minutes off one raptor since they can be annoying to find.

Comment by sneakskee

Get naked+equip argent tourny lance=3 poisons per kill (If your a class that can cleanse poisons do so immediately when you get poisoned=more poison applications per fight i had at least 6+ every fight as a paladin)

Comment by GNiko

This is very odd... But you can get the venomhide poison buff from Anub'ar Slayers in Dragonblight.

@Flakgun yes, it's only a single quest.

Comment by 438538

If you're in a group with people who have the same quest and one of you got poisoned, the others will get it too.

Comment by 438814

Very easy for a hunter.

Just let your pet spam "Cower" and some other melee focus dump skill. This way you'll be able to hold the aggro and your pet will cause fast melee attacks to trigger the poison.

Comment by Vorph

Enhancement shamans can find this quest is a real pain in the neck, due to maximized unarmed skill. Even if you get naked, you will kill ravasaurs in no time, so this can be quite frustrating. There is a way to ease your pain though.

1-) Spam the Rank 1 Lightning Bolt. It has no cooldown whatsoever and low mana cost and hits really trivial (around 20-25).

2-) Even though it has low mana cost, you'll still go out of mana. If you use Shamanistic Rage, you have to punch the mob in the face and you will eventually kill it again even before your mana fills to full. Instead of it, along with two Venomhide Ravasaurs also pull one or two (one is ideal due to spell casting pushback created by three mobs hitting you at the same time) other kind of raptors in the area (Ravasaur Hunter for example). When you are out of mana, pop Shamanistic Rage and punch the other mob in the face to get your mana back. When you are done with it, punch the first Ravasaur to death to refill your mana to full. After it's dead, continue spamming LB to the second Venomhide Ravasaur. You may not punch the first Venomhide to death if you are lucky with the SR and got most of your mana back.

3-) Always put Mana Spring Totem down. It'll help a bit to regenerate some mana in fight.

4-) When you are out of mana again, kill the ravasaur, drink to full, rinse and repeat.

Edit: When I wrote this, I thought this was a daily quest and it was a real pain to do this every day. But I see it's a one-time quest, but still you can use this tactic to speed up the process.

Comment by 445913

I don't know if you guys are aware but you don't actually have to melee to get the poison. As an Enhance Shaman even unarmed I killed these really quickly, so I simply downranked my earthshock and did ~20 dmg. Sure, you have to wait 6 seconds between each attack but it beats running around looking for other mobs. Also, remember to have water shield on and use cleansing totem and this is a breeze. Perhaps not as fast as for mages or priests but I got it with only one raptor.

Comment by 25844

For those who are willing to wait the speed at which this and the frostsaber quest will be able to be done once the 3rd exp comes out will help do to flying mounts. Just a thought.

PS sorry for the poor spelling.

Get Nacked, all gear off, no Attackpower or anything that makes u hit harded

Either u use or going umarmed, i managed this way geting all 20 toxic from max 6 ravasauris, took me less than 10 min.

Good Hunting all!

Comment by 375223

As a lvl 80 warlock this is what I did:

1) unequip weapon
2) attack ravasaur barehanded
3) tabbed out and did something else
4) tabbed back in game after 10 minutes

When I checked my guy I was at 20% health, ravasaur was at 80% health, unarmed skill level went from 1 to 380, and quest was completed LOL too easy!

Comment by TheJello

I had better luck taking off all my armor, trinkets, anything that boosted attack power and defense, and just punched them. I noticed that when attacking them, you had a better chance of getting poisoned. By removing any attack-boosting items, I could hit them more times. Got the quest done in around 15 minutes. :)

Comment by 448460

As 80 warrior i did it like this:

1) unequip weapons and gear
2) attack ravasaur
3) attack them till they are around 10%
4) flee and let them go evade so they restore health
5) repeat

Was doing this at a place where 2 venomhides were close to each other

took me 10mins to complete

Comment by AlfaPatito

I recommend to use two weapon that they do not use completely well this way to stick often. The poison has one chance of be applying whenever they throb to the dinosaur

Comment by 202652

One of most annoying and boring quest i ever seen. takes you forver

Comment by 111270

Melee HIT the quest mobs {Venomhide Ravasaur} in order to have a chance to trigger being "... splashed with poisonous blood". You can try melee HITing the other Ravasaurs in the area, but the quest is specific in saying that you "Attack Venomhide Ravasaurs for a chance to be poisoned.".

NOTE: I completed this quest on two other characters and found that killing all of the Ravasaurs in the area where the quest mob spawns increased my chances of seeing a quest mob. Be careful how far you go with this action, since some of the other Ravasaurs are quest mobs for other mobs.

Remove your main-hand and off-hand items to force your character to use it's BARE hands and make each fight as long as possible. This will maximize your chances of being "... splashed with poisonous blood" because you will spend less time starting a new fight with a new quest mob. You can try fighting more than one quest mob at a time, but unless you are able to melee HIT multiple quest mobs at one time, this would seem to be a useless activity that will only annoy anyone else doing the quest at the same time.

You can try taking off your character's armor in an attempt to further reduce the damage done while melee HITing the quest mobs with BARE hands. This may, or may not work, depending on your class,armor, enchants, etc. I did not.

Don't forget to put any pets or minions your character might have on passive, or dismiss them, or they will almost certainly prevent your character being "... splashed with poisonous blood".

My character had to beat four quest mobs to death. He doesn't do much damage bare-handed, but he was a level 80 warlock beating on a level 5x Ravasaur.

NOTE: I did not say this before, so I will add that my post is a combination of my experience and a gleaning of all previous posts into one, compact source of information.

Not a hard quest, by any means. Just an annoying one.

Comment by Kezultra

Was grinding this area on an alt and thought I hadn't seen it before so came to check. A few things I can add....

I did get some venoms on killing the mob, but that could be just because I hit it. Hitting it with magic can proc the poison, but I had best success with my priest's dagger (more procs on hitting the raptor).

Did this quest at the same time as Bone-Bladed Weapons and The Scent of Lar'korwi.

Rewards 8360 experience at Lv51 (quest was yellow).

Tested on 3.2 on live.

Comment by Kezultra

Curious other issue... I tried searching for this quest by name on wowhead (even trying just "toxic") as a search string, and this article doesn't appear for me? Not had this problem with other quests (the follow-up quest works for instance). Is this just me?

Comment by kurtiffrig

As a mage I never use melee attacks, so thank goodness someone pointed out that this is the ONLY way to infect yourself with poison. If you want to make the process quicker use the Berzerking attack if you have it available.

Comment by 179171

Just a quick query.

Why is it that I can never get poisoned, but my pet can? Here I am trying to kill these guys at level 50, and my pet has has it 20 times, ive only had it once, when my pet wasnt out.

Why do they make it impossible for warlocks, and probably hunters to complete this quest?

Comment by 27146

Just discovered that the Icemist Village Anub'ar Slayer venom counts as the venom for this quest. Made it a LOT easier to do!

Comment by skipinator

Counts for Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement

Comment by 457586

If your warrior has a truck load of strenght, and all of the above fail... die, spirit rez, and try again. You should be able to get all 20 by the time the rez sickness wears off.

Comment by QFred

Awesome to skill up the unarmored skill if you're a clothie. Clothies have very low strength stat, so my biggest hits at 50 skill are about 15.

Comment by ZeroUm

Ahhh, you fight almost naked and barehanded a venomous velociraptor, taking poison after poison under the unrelenting downpouring rain of a wild jungle. Bonus points if you do it with half your power, and smashed during the Brewfest.

And you are doing it for the Horde.

It doesn't get more manly than that.

Comment by lightmastertech

If you're like me and you're lvl 80, you might have a problem with, "Oh CRAP, i keep killing them in 3 or 4 hits even when i'm unarmed!" I found the best thing to do if you're lvl 80 (or in the 70s) is to take off all your gear and the attack the mobs, you shouldn't do very much damage and you should be able to get the 20 splashes really quickly. If that doesn't work, you can also try letting them kill you and getting res sickness.

Comment by BloomOfWinter

This quest is very simple.

If you are a high level clothie, melee the raptors.
If you are more melee based, used your lowest rank spells.

Slowly killing them can get them to bleed on you 3-4 times.

Took 10 minutes for me to complete.

Comment by Alanor

Took me about 5 minutes to complete.

As a lvl 80 mage, I simply unequipped my weapon and started hitting with bare hands (with everything else still on). Got poisoned 9 times by the 1st ravasaur and 11 with the second one, sometimes even 3 poisons in a row. Just stay there and enjoy the landscape, the plants and the big angry lizard trying to harm you. Once completed the quest, blast the lizard with the flick of an eyebrow and go get the next quest in the chain. =)

Comment by Nofair

I found that this quest is rather easy to complete if you have the Horde Lance or Argent Lance to attack the Venomhide Ravasaurs with. You only do like 10-30 damage with each hit and you don't need any weapon skill to be able to hit them.

Took me about 10 minutes to complete it. Good luck!

Comment by 215346

80 hunter here and found that going naked and hitting them unarmed was the best.
I dunno if this is a trick but it worked for me:
pet on passive- hit till splashed, when splashed turn pet on defensive--when pet has aggro (should be in one hit) put on passive again-- I got 3 splashed per raptor that way. Dunno if i just got lucky or what

Comment by Twistedstance

I took my level 80 warlock to Un'goro for this one - I found the NPC at the traditional ground entrance to Un'goro, on the east. The quest took maybe 10 minutes: I found a Venomhide Raptor, un-equipped my weapons, and set myself on autoattack as I went to do the dishes. Leveled my unarmed from 0 to 382 or so. Easy stuff.

-Wristwatch (Nagrand Horde).

Comment by 315859

For lucky owners of a Disgusting Oozeling, I'd guess having him out would simplify the quest? -20 to all resistances...

Use the Anubar Slayers if you wish, but this is bound to get nerfed eventually.

Comment by Diroton

If you just leveling, I strongly recommend leave this quest.

Comment by naano

As an 80 priest, I took mostly everything off, equipped Argent Lance, pulled 2 or 3 ravasaurs and took turns smacking on them while spamming renew. I'm not sure if there's a limit on how many splashes they give you. I got 2-4 out of each of them before they eventually died, then I'd pull another group.

Comment by 423314

This *does* count toward Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Comment by 467804

I just equiped my skinning knife and went to town, there was no problem of finding these guys on my server, seems like not many people do this quest anymore. I was done in about 10 minutes.

Comment by overCee

I would like to note that this quest counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor and 3000 Quests Completed achievements.

Comment by 370063

Maybe its just me .... but I didn't have a problem with this quest....lvl 52 priest , a lot of the raptors hit me with poison as soon as I aggro'd them..... but I did notice each raptor can only hit you with poison once. So once you are hit, finish the mob off. All you have to do is attack the raptor and hope it gets ya

as soon as I say that , a single raptor hits me 3 times , just pop pop pop

Comment by 456705

If you get in close with your melee weapon--you can get 3-4 blood splashes. It won't happen on every one--but & had 4 that gave 2-4 each!

Comment by 114610

Did this as a 53 Hunter, stood there naked punching with Aspect of the Viper using this macro:

/cast Growl
/petstay
/cast Mend Pet

The ravasaur just attacked my bird, mend pet kept the bird up, got it on my first ravasaur after my unarmed skilled up enough.

Comment by 483502

So hunters/rogus/mages/anybody else with an aggro drop can drop out of combat when the raptor is almost dead, so you don't have to hunt around for a new raptor.

Comment by Sixbones

If you happen to have a brewfest stein, equip it. You will deal about 50 damage (on my elemental shaman lv 78)

You still gain the poisons but you don't use your weapon skill.

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32912

Was done in less then 10 minutes.

Comment by 433376

I just made a discovery to help druids and whomever else could use this information! I hit the venomhides until they spit the venom, then hit them with moonfire to hurry the kill process. I got splashed again! I tried just using moonfire and no venom. After many tests I've found that if you hit them barehanded until they splash venom and then hit them with moonfire you can get multiple splashes off of one mob. I got 5 splashes off one venomhide! Hope this helps speed the process some!

Comment by illusine

started this as i level um, 54 i think, undead 'lock with a v w. at this level and with only cloth armor no worries about not getting hit. you can use sacrifice to keep from getting killed while still getting splashed but keep your pet on passive. also make dang sure it's a venomhide, they're the brownish ones. not sure if it's a carbonite thing but all raptors are tagged. spent over an hour killing everything in sight without a single splash before i finally found the real thing. after that it was easy unless i got mobbed by more than three. i'm the queen of weird wow glitches tho, when i tried to return to the quest-giver, he'd vanished. didn't come back for about a week. i deeply apologize if my weirdness kept anyone else from turning in the quest during this time, lol!

Comment by 421626

IF YOU ARE CONFUSED. READ THIS.

Firstly pick up the quest at 71.74.

Then go to
69,54

What you need to do is agro the black ravasaurs. Casters use rank 1 spells. They'll start spitting on you which they need to do 20 times. The poison debuff lasts 30 seconds but can be dispelled.

Melee just unequip weps and punch them if they get low run away and reagro them
It took me about 5 minutes and i was a shaman using lightning bolt on 3 of them ( RANK 1)

Comment by 365165

HOW TO DO THE QUEST:

Go to about 68.0 , 59.0. There look for this NPC : Venomhide Ravasaur.
Start fighting with them and ocasionally they " spit " poison on you. The objectiv is to get " spit " by poison 20 times... it was pretty hard to figure it out. easyer if you are a class that has a spell that removes poison so you will have a chance to be spit a few times by one mob. Hope that helps out.

Comment by Looterk

Works also in druid's forms (tested in bear,cat even travel)
Tip for druids : turn off thorns :]

Comment by 467349

Okay, i did this in just a seconds with Resurection Sickness.. Just get res sicknes, then pull like 10 mobs (i pulled 4), then just volley them and u will get the quest in seconds! :)

EDIT: Forgot to say: Use Aspect of the Viper too :)

Comment by hohocacho31

i found that at 80 (im a hunter) u can still pretty easily get venomized, just takes slightly longer.
what vi do is to get a very bad sword, i used Blackblade of Shahram, and hit the ravasaur, ya, thats it, just make sure its a very sucky sword, 9/10 times hell spray u before he dies. hope this helps

EDIT: 10/10 turns to 9/10, i just missed 1 shot

Comment by pnukup

Uhmn I can REALLY confirm punching them does the trick.
I got the poison on my... about 40 million times faster lol im so official punching htem get u teh poison srsly

5 poison shot from 1 mob when I was punching
0 from 5+ mobs when I used spells

Comment by Zulustriker

For shamans just strip nude and throw down healing stream totem and beat on the raptors. The totem will heal you just enough to sit and beat on a raptor for several minutes. Should only need 2-3 raptors to get this daily done. Also consider laying down windfury totem to increase melee haste!

Comment by kirzan

Here's what I figured out:

- The poison is a COUNTER-ATTACK, meaning you can't just stand there and get hit, you have to damage it.
- They were made to be punching bags, BEST opportunity to level up Unarmed.
- At around 215 skill you'll land most hits and won't hit hard at all. Also from 215 skill, I was getting poisoned about 5 times a kill, killing it very slowly with punches to their jaws.

Conclusion, remove your weapon, any damage shield, and punch away... it is the BEST and FASTEST way of doing this. Plus you're leveling unarmed to a less boring skill level for once you feel like getting the achievement.

Peace
-Mike.

Comment by Forquilla

i did it in 5 mins, completly nude, unarmed skill 100 to 300, it's an other world compared to the wintersaber quest.

Comment by 366528

you can now get the poison debuff from any hit as long as you stay in melee range i believe.
i was aoeing them down with bilzzard and it still gave me the debuff for each wave it hit them. also works with wand

Comment by Kakashi11

This is what i did,

I am a level 80 druid, i took ALL my armor off, besides tabard, shirt, rings and trinkets, i equipt a lance, i got about 3 or 4 blood from each enemy(depending on luck)

i got this quest done in about 15-30 mins, quite easy if i say so my self.

Comment by Grumbkow

As of today during patch 3.3 this quest is done in 10 minutes.

unequip everything and go find some Venomhide Ravasaurs. not normal Ravasaurs!
Took me about 10 minutes with no one else hitting these mobs.

Comment by 40753

Super easy for a mage. Just use rank 1 molten armour, put up ice barrier if you have it, unequip your weapons and run around punching each one just once. Then just sit there with your back turned. The molten armour damage will cause the splashes in short order, and polymorph the raptors as they get low in health to heal them back up!

Comment by 515333

As a lvl 80 hunter with 400 skill unarmed I found it easy to cast Aspect of the Cheetah to keep the ravasaur alive a bit longer. Every time the ravasaur attacked I was stunned, alas I could not attack.

Comment by 519862

As a resto druid level 52 this is the easiest quest I ever did, Tree form and hit with hand, rejuv on yourself .. lol

Comment by 526054

You actually have to deal damage to the raptors, so if you have your unarmed skill at 0, you have to skill up to about 150 - 200 before you'll hit them. Then you'll get your poison stacks.

Comment by Tott3

If level 80 and a melee class go naked + argent lance = Easymode <3

Comment by 347073

this quest is really simple if you are a shaman because lightning shield counts as damaging them which elts them splash you so turn ur back 2 em pop on lightning shield and have fun getting it done!

Also has the same effect with Druid's thorns and Pala retribution aura etc

Comment by 300029

Counts toward Loremaster achievement.

Comment by 523885

FOR HUNTERS LEVEL 60+

Dismiss your pet, take off your weapons, go unarmed. FInd yourself a nice Venomhide Ravasaur (about 62,53). Kite him in a quiet place. Beat the crap out of him until he poisons you. Stop autoatack and let him kick your ass for the next 25 sec. (until debuff is gone). Beat him up a little more, until he poisons you again. If he is about to die (or you....) feign death. This will reset your little nice ravasaur and he will be as good as new. Repeat until quest done. Max time: 20 min. Good luck!

Comment by 530602

If anyone is wondering, this quest does count for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Comment by Sparq300

It is possible to be poisoned multiple times by the same ravasaur. Im a pally and I used Cleanse and got poisoned 3 times by the same Ravasaur.

Confirmed, I just killed another Venomhide Ravasaur and got poisoned 4 times using Cleanse every time after getting poisoned. Hope that helps people to finish faster.

Comment by stoo

Just so you know, this quest and the next one count towards Loremaster of Kalimdor. I'd bet that the final quest for the mount counts too. The dailys, of course, do not.

Comment by 397215

Worked great unarmed.

Comment by kronchev

I came up with a system on my hunter.

I found 2 of them together. I stripped as naked as my bags would let me go, with a fishing pole equipped in AotV. Now, I would go and grab both, and beat one with the pole until it was low, then switch to the other; once that was low, I'd immediately FD until it wore off.

Comment by 337131

I took off all my gear and weapons and started to attack a Venomhide Ravasaur. When I got afflicted by the poison, I stopped attacking it and tanked it while the poison debuff ran out. Then I continued attacking it untill i got poisoned again and so on...

It is very important that you attack the Raptors, otherwise the poison will not proc on you

Comment by 537673

I'm leveling a Shaman with a good friend of mine, who is leveling a Druid. We both hit lvl 50 and went to Un'goro Crater, where we picked up this quest. I allready did it with my Druid and had a hard time getting poisoned 20 times. So I decided to give the 'underwear-and-skinning-knife-trick' a shot. I fought a Venomhide, while my friend was healing me, from a small distance.

The 'underwear-and-skinning-knife-trick' worked really well. I got 20 times poisoned by 2 venomhide within 5 minutes, or so.

But here's the funny thing. Every time I got poisoned, my friend got too. By the time I hit 20, we both completed the quest!

Comment by 548809

You need to find Venomhide ravasaur ... when you find it .. you need 20 of them ,1 poison per mob... = 20 mobs and that's the quest

Comment by Edtang

Although this quest is boring and repetative it does go well with leveling your weapon skills for the achievement.

Comment by MarluxiaKyoshu

As a sidenote to all of these guides at how to do this at level 80... If you're actually the right level to do this quest, it goes by in a blur. Me and my friend (rogue and boomkin druid, respectively) did this quest by only killing three raptors, we were both level 48. Just watch closely for other raptors that might be spawning nearby, the Venomhides like to stay in the center of the nesting area and it doesn't take much to accidentally get three more raptors on you.

Comment by Rahkitty

I'm unsure if anyone has clarified this yet, but...you must actually do damage to the raptor in order for you to trigger his poison. Just hitting him unarmed isn't enough. I started this at 0/400 unarmed skill and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting poisoned. Then I noticed that when I finally got unarmed high enough to do some kind of damage he poisoned me.

Comment by Aedna

Make you sure hit the Venomhide raptors and not the Ravasaur hunters, like I did. Might be helpful for someone and save them the hour i spent on hitting the wrong mobs.

Comment by whitehusky

I don't know why anyone hasn't mentioned this, but you don't have to be poisoned 2,000 times. You only have to be poisoned 20 times. Once you turn in the quest, he gives you the next one and you have to collect 4 eggs from the nests around the marshlands in Un'Goro Crater. When you return the eggs to him, he gives you one of them back, which has hatched. It's a tiny raptor that you call (like the orphan quests we get once a year). The raptor gives you a daily quest asking for something different from either Tanaris, Un'Goro Crater, or Silithus. Once you complete and turn in the quest, the raptor gives you one of its baby teeth.

Doing this, it'll take a minimum of 20 days to get your raptor mount.

Personally, I much prefer this method of getting the mount than what I had to do for the Winterspring Frostsaber!

Comment by 457442

Best way to get splashed with blood

1. Be Close To level 80
2. Take off all ur armor and weapon's, health regen armor works nice.
3. find a certain venomhide raptor, then start attacking it it should take like 20 hits and ur bound to get hit by one
4. After its low, you run away and reset it and then repeat
TIP: You can get splashed more than once on the same raptor u dont gotta wait for poison to go away.

Go ahead, Rate up if this helped you!
Edit: Thanks for the idiot that downrated all the comments on here, please rate back up.

Comment by 560905

Possible to use wand and be shielded (e.g. Power Word: Shield), when hitting the Ravasaurs. Just did this as a lvl 50 Priest. No need to go unarmed at this level, just shield yourself, use wand, heal yourself if necessary, and thats all. Got my 20 poisons in 10 minutes.

Comment by Pantom69

This is pretty easy all you really need is a healer and if you are a healer all you have to do is have a couple of manna potions and keep your health up make sure you are unarmed then get ready for a long battle

Comment by 562703

This Quest was stupidly easy. Level 80, no items on, unarmed and After 3 Mobs I had all 20. Did next part of picking up the 4 eggs off the ground. That all was done in about 15 min.

Now for the 20 days on that one daily.

Easy as hell....

Comment by 598525

This is quest is very easy as a hunter to do, simply dismiss your pet, use your lowest dps spec (e.g. if you have BM and MM, use BM), aspect of the viper, a low level bow with level 5-20 arrows and simply kite the ravasaur, it will keep poisoning you and when it's nearly dead, feign death and reset

Comment by 172781

For rogues, and other fist weapon users out there: Grab a pair of Brass Knuckles and punch at them for a while. Spamming Shiv and using Slice and Dice, I got the 20 charges pretty quickly at level 78.

Comment by TheLittleOne

As a level 49 Warlock I was having a few too many difficulties trying to complete this quest. Seeing as I wasn't level 80, these things just tore through my health. I figured out a method that works, however. It probably isn't as efficient as doing the quest naked at level 80 with a skinning knife in hand, but it gets the job done if you don't feel like waiting until you get to 80 plus another 20 days.

Make sure you VW is out and on passive. Equip a skinning knife. Pull the Venomhide and attack with the skinning knife. Sacrifice your VW and keep attacking with the skinning knife, you'll get poisoned.The Venomhide shouldn't tear through your shield, but it will wear off after 30 seconds and you will be unprotected for 30 seconds. Shield again when Sacrifice comes back up.

This technique works exceptionally well when you have Soul Link and Siphon Life, like I do. I'd cast Corruption once or twice to heal myself and keep my health up.

With this technique I was able to get 3-4 poison debuffs per Venomhide.

I hope this helps someone.

By the by, you don't have to wait for the poison to go away for it to count again towards your quest.

Edit: I just realized I'm pretty silly because you could use your VW's taunts and still keep him on passive. I'm used to him not holding aggro since I usually nuke things to death, but since you are only doing 3-9 damage per swing with a skinning knife you should be fine. So, moral of the story, kiddies, is keep your VW out on passive and use his taunts/sacrifice when necessary and keep attacking with that skinning knife. You should have the quest done in no time.

Comment by Vethen

For paladins i noticed that if the second they poison you cleanse it and there is a good chance you'll get another one fast. Worked for me atleast.

Comment by Wixman1234

I JUST now did this on my druid, trying for the loremaster achievement. People need to not make this harder than it is. Empty your hands and just punch them until they get down to about 300 HP then RUN AWAY, rinse, repeat. When they leash, they heal to 100%. Your fists never get the weapon buff and you NEVER GO IMMUNE TO THE POISON. Woot! Finished it in about 15 minutes off one mob. I went from zero weapon skill to 350 by the time I was done as well :)

Comment by heliumdwarf

Noticed that taking all armor off, and staying around 20% hp made me get up to 4 poisons pr mob. :)
at lvl 80..

Comment by 615476

Getting this one done as an Affliction Warlock at the appropriate level was annoying. A good trick was to dismiss my Void Walker and just Drain Life the raptors so they had a long enough life to poison me, and my VW wasn't getting all the fun.

Comment by Nigol

it feels like this really help as a hunter

Comment by 520508

if you're high lvl, use rez sickness :)

Comment by 221940

This is actually pretty easy!.. just take all your item of you.. and then start punch those raptors! it took me about 10 min to get 20 splash!

Comment by 520659

This quest is doable by an 80 hunter by getting naked including weapons and auto attacking the venomhide ravasaur's to the north of the quest giver. You can get more than one poison from one of them.

Comment by 629273

Many high levels have problems with this quest because thier damage output is too high. There are afew methods that can help.

-Use low level wepons and simply auto-attack
-Use the argent lance.
-Use lowlevel instant attack skills.

It will take some time, however it will only take 1or 2 raptors depending on your luck. It is easier to do this quest with some sort of self healing.

Comment by 544487

Aaaand it's a great way to stay in shape.

Comment by 201438

Counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor

Comment by 501553

ok, i'm reading a lot of stuff that's not (or only partially) correct, so here is how it goes:

If you are a melee class you use the Argent lance, if you are not a melee class you use unarmed

you ONLY get splashed if YOU hit THEM

not all ravasaurs splash, only the venomhide RAVASAURS (the ravasaur hunter for example doesn't do anything)

take of all your gear

Comment by 621270

what mobs do you have to attack im lvl 52 and want to start with the daily stuff ... but i cant figer out wich of the mobs give the debuff ...

Comment by Pogmahon

As a lvl 80 boomkin, I stripped naked.

Cycloned a venomhide, let it attack me.

Punched it.

Each time I got poisoned, hit abolish poison.

Each time clearcasting came up, casted a Hot on me.

took 3 venomhides, to get all 20 splashes.

It got me to about 300 unarmed, closer to the Knuckle Sandwich achievement.

Comment by 639055

If your a mage like me, before heading out on this epic quest.

I advise you have a glyph of evocation to heal yourself without leaving combat.

Method:

Unequipt all weapons so your left with your fists, pull 2-3 venomhides, mana shield and punch them.
When low health use Evocation when in a shield. Since no pushback, and glyph of evocation heals, this is a win win.

Comment by 134790

Can anyone provide an update on this because i am 80 and i am trying to get this mount but its near impossible to get poisned

Comment by Hordeimagen

Shamans: if ur 80 and wanna do this...

* Remove all gear
* throw out a cleansing totem (so it removes poision instantly so u can get a new one asap)
* Tabb out and find some fun homepage

Comment by 551008

Grab an Argent Lance and go nuts!

Comment by krockstarp

I'm having a lot of trouble with this quest. I started it one day, managed to get 10 splashes. But coming back to it today, I'm not getting any. I've gone unequipped and just hit them for 20 minutes and still nothing. Anyone else having this problem?

Comment by DerSenf

I'm just doing this quest on my Lv48 Hunter and it seems very easy. Look for a save place near the raptors and keep pulling the same Venomhide Ravasaur over and over again. As soon as you get splashed (or your health runs low), Feign Death, eat until the poison is gone and repeat. For longer survival, use Aspect of the Monkey. And remember to FD in time. Don't wait till your life bar reaches 3% or something, FD can always be resisted.

I also noticed that ranged attacks made by you can also trigger the poison!

Comment by 584078

Just ran naked through unguro (if your a lady like me have a tabard equipped)
Melee the venomsaurs you'll get up to 3 bites per venomsaur.

Goodluck

Comment by Saeb

You only need to get poisoned 20 times now.

Like Mor'vek says you'd need to be splashed with poisonous blood so you need to hit the Ravasaurs in order to get their blood splashed over you not them.

This quest line is a gift from heaven for those who love raptor mounts(who doesn't?).

Comment by NiklasNikke

@#$%ed up quest to do as a warlock. I mean seriously if you don't have a high staff skill or anything. Sigh.

Comment by 652861

I can confirm that you can get poisoned by casting direct damaging spells, even at range.

Did this on a lv 50 shadow priest and just spammed rank 1 mind flay, usually getting 1-3 venom procs per mob.

Comment by Snir

This quest doesn't seem to work for me, I get splashed by their blood and get the debuff, but my quest doesn't record it -.-

Comment by 620950

Didn't see anyone commenting about this, but if you are a caster like me, and don't want to, or don't have, enough skill to hit the Ravasaur, you can attack it with your Wand, it will still splash poison all over you.

Comment by Vengeancex

As a lvl 55 mage, attempting to get the poison while unarmed started out extremely slow.
Once I hit about 215 unarmed skill, it started going MUCH faster.

So for those of you who are getting frustrated from this, just hold in there until your skill level reaches around 215-220, and you'll notice it going by much quicker.

Hope this helps :)

Comment by Hordrim

Not sure if it was said or not, but if you are a level 80, you can do this quest in a group with a lower level class (or with another 80). I did it with another level 80, but you can do it with a lower level, to make it easy for the poison to apply. This may come in handy for healer classes, since the low level can take all his equip and you can heal him throughout the fight.

Good luck guys, hope to see you all in a Ravasaur soon!

Very easy to do as a lv50 warrior.

Attack one Ravasaur at a time and unequip your weapon (If you have a shield, equip it).
Use Thunder Clap and Demoralizing Shout to lower the Ravasaur's DPS.
And if you got a shield you can use Shield Block and Shield Wall to reduce all damage taken (remember that Shield Wall also reduce the damage done by the Poison).

I got about 10 Poisons from 1 Ravasuar because when I got to about 10-20% HP I used Intimidating Shout and then Heavy Frostweave Bandage (Make sure you don't have a Poison on you when you cast the Bandage or else it will interrupt it.)

Comment by DivineNight

pretty sure its been changed i do know that it used to proc on melee strikes thought my proficiency level of unarmed has something to do with it but i pretty sure i was incorrect i did notice that all of the venomhide that attack me seem to all proc when there health was at a certain point can proc up to 4 times was hitting 1 for 5 minutes doing next to no damage was playing a holy pally so i didn't have a problem healing i think it has to do with there % of health i don't think its an absolute rule merely and observation sorry for lazy grammer just want to get the point out there can retest and flag as bad if u want

Comment by Ner1

As off patch 4.0.1, the poisen can no longer be resisted, I did this on a 80 hunter in about 30 minutes.

I unequipped my weapon and just started punching the buggers. I imagine it work better if I used a rank 1 raptor srtike or w/e,but seeing as ranks were removed the patch thats no longer possible.

Comment by darkpanda

Isnt it just awesome that you pick up awesome q' then you struggle trying to understand it 3 hours... and then you realize you are in raid group. GOD I RAGEDwhen i realized that!

Comment by 699477

You still have to melee the venomhide ravasaurs to get the poison splash to procc on you, but now the number of splashes is reduced to only 20 time.

Comment by Dethilir

I just did this quest as a level 53 Enhancement Shaman. It took me as long to get all 20 stacks of the poison as it did my mage at level 80. Both were attacking unarmed. My advice is if you're leveling through the zone don't mess w/this quest. The time v. experience gain just doesn't make it very efficient.

Comment by Shhim

Just started this on my 80 lock and used my fists. I was able to get all 20 from 1 mob and he still had over 60% health left.
Also just for reference, Torch of Retribution does not work.

Comment by christabelle

just did it on my hunter. gotta be hitting them. Take a bunch of gear and weapons off and punch them.

edit: and one raptor can poison you multiple times.

Comment by 63379

read the quest carefully : Attack Venomhide Ravasaurs for a chance to be poisoned.
so you MUST attack them, not let them attack you for ever waiting for their poison

Comment by 692986

It appears as though the mechanic for splashing has changed recently, either in 4.0.1, 4.0.3, or 4.0.3a.

I just did this quest on my warrior, and can confirm that you still need to be attacking them to get splashed. However, if you get splashed again while you have the poison debuff already, it will NOT count towards your total. I witnessed several occasions where I would get poisoned, punch a few more times, and see the green flash and splash animation from the raptor, but not get a splash added to my counter.

To work around, I simply punched until I got splashed, stopped attacking until the debuff wore off, then started punching again. This helped me maximize my chances of poison splashes per raptor, and I had to do less hunting for respawns.

Comment by 715981

Are you ready to get naked? If you're one shotting these mobs before getting poisoned, take off all your gear, pick one Venomhide Ravasaur and pick a fight. Wait until he poisons you, then drop out of combat ( I used Feign Death) and let your sparring partner heal back up. This also seems to reset any timer the mob has on that poison ability of his. Get back up and hit him again. Rinse and repeat.

Comment by Baerce

If you can remove poison, then you should do this while attacking the ravasaurs. This way you can get more splashes per ravasaur. I was able to get around 4-5 splashes per ravasaur.

Comment by 107814

these bastards seem to be much more reluctant to relinquish their poison since the shattering.

Comment by 735122

I did this in less than an hour, what I did was: get naked, make dps a LOW as I could (since I was lvl 80+), and attack the Venomhide Ravasaur untill it was about at 10% then run, and repeat. This can be repeated again and again as far as I know since 4.0.1. Have fun!

Comment by Scrumbee

Just did this quest now got to say its one of the more stupid quests in the game, takes a while and is simply boring. And ofc as i was posting this a gladly moonkin came along and bom.

Comment by 743113

wat r u guys talking abt..? u need 20 splashes..and u get 2 on 1..

Comment by 753925

Completed this quest easily on my 52 priest just hot/staffed was able to get multiple poisons from same mob.

Comment by 555654

Me and a friend did this today in a group, and whenever one of us got the poison debuff, both of us got credit on the quest, so doing this in group will make it go faster. At leas that's how it's like now.

Comment by tazz602

Was actually quite easy as my priest - lvl 55- took off all my gear - picked one Venomhide, punched him - and healed and threw SW Death on the Venomhide to regen mana, he stayed alive and kept poisoning me, Iused a pot when needed, died once when the elite came across us - but pretty much did all 20 with little effort.

Comment by Atraya

In case you didn't read it all the way through, attack the VENOMHIDE RAVASAURS. Dont do like me and attack every ravasaur you come across. :D 100% splash all the way when I switched to the venomhides. Hope this helps!

Comment by 737778

This is only needing 20 poison's being on u and can be at different times. As of 4.0.3 at least for me.

Comment by 757760

Did this quest with no clothes on and no weapon and I stayed at 100% health. As a level 85 you shouldn't have a problem. Have fun with your new Raptor :D

Comment by Lostelf

striped my blood elf death knight down to her panties n beat the sh$% out of 75-100 raptors got it eventually

Comment by 249748

Oh blizzard ... You really do hate your players...

Comment by 768761

I just completed this quest with my level 58 orc warlock. I turned off my felgaurd so he would not attack then I did as I read above just hit the thing with melee attacks. I did get more than one "poison" per raptor (I think once I got 3). I just stood there waiting for my health to go down then healed myself and waited some more. I also life taped him to bring his life down and mine up some. Worked just fine

Comment by 775727

I took off gear and weapons as a lvl 85 hunter and used my fists. Once the poison debuff had kicked in, I just ran around until it wore off and then fought the raptor again. Rinse and repeat until the raptor died.

That way, I didn't have to kill many raptors especially when other players (different faction) were in the area doing the same quest. I received anywhere from 1 to 4 "splashes" per raptor.

Comment by Chetti

It seems this has been updated. This quest only requires you be splashed 20 times. I can confirm that it is possible to be splashed more than once by the same raptor. I am doing this as a level 51 holy paladin, so I attack the raptor and let it hit me, throwing some crusader strikes in for good measure (and holy power). The most I've ever noticed one raptor splash me is twice, but still, not bad. Finish it off with a hammer of wrath, and move along. The next quest is called venomhide eggs, this sends you out for 4 eggs, then you get another quest to raise one (called They Grow Up So Fast), where you have to bring back its baby teeth, 20 rune cloth, 20 rugged leather and 80 gold and the reward is the mount.

Comment by ProgramMax

Don't kill only the black Venomhide Ravasaurs. I did that and found that waiting for them to respawn was becoming increasingly tedious.

My roommate reminded me that every time they spawn they might be spawning as the purple Ravasaur Hunter.

He was right. I started killing off the purples ones as well and it became much more bearable.

(Maybe this isn't an issue if you are the right level. I'm doing this unarmed at 85.)

Comment by atom0s

Since this got filled with a bunch of crap about lore, here is specific info to the quest:

Find Venomhide Ravasaur near the right middle of the map.
If you're low level you should be able to hit them more then once without killing them.
If you're 70+ you will probably need to unequip your weapon and punch them.

You need to be hitting them for the poison effect to happen. It procs when you hit them, randomly. So it is best to strip naked if you are high level, or at least remove your weapon and things that effect how hard you punch etc. You can get the effect more then once from the same monster as well so the slower you kill the better.

It's a random proc so don't expect them to use an ability. You also can't seem to get the effect more then once while you have the debuff already, but you can remove it if you have the ability to cleanse it off. Which can make the quest faster if you pay attention and remove it asap.

Comment by MiQueL

While taking off weapons I did about ~1k damage each hit.. So mobs died really fast.. Then I unequipped all my items and I did ~60 damage per hit.. So got +~5 five splashs per mob.. Helped me alot to unequip all. Im 85lv Shaman

EDIT: Stop attacking while you are affected by poison, so you wont kill mob for nothing

Comment by 563330

You need to be hitting them in order to get poisoned.

Just in case nobody said that already.

/sarcasm

Comment by 796963

You just have to be patient.

1. Get all your gear off and fight the Raptor in order to get poisoned.
2. Bust your self for 20 days daily to complete They Grow Up So Fast and get the Teeth required for your Ranasaur to grow up and be able to return the final quest and get your mount.

PS
I have started it at level 40 i think when i was in the area and managed in 20 days to get it....but i was 75 by then...but trust me it worths it.

Dunno if you can spam yourself at lvl 85 now to start that quest....but good luck anyway!

Comment by djset

Shadow priest lvl53, just unequipped weapon and started hitting the same raptor melee. After 10-15 min quest complete. Raptor still alive since my melee damage is around 4-5 ^^

Comment by supsteff

I naked punched a dino to it's death.

It died while I had 17 stacks. Took 5 minutes of AFKing.

Comment by turkesh

As an 85 Cat Druid I found it easiest to unequip weapon, pick up two or three of the raptors and hit them with unarmed auto-attack in normal Tauren stance. I was doing 77-155 damage per swing this way. When the first mob poisoned me I cleansed the debuff and switched to the next one. I would usually get poisoned again right away by the new raptor. Rinse and repeat. It seems like the poison spell has some kind of cooldown because it was never reapplied anywhere near as fast when hitting one at a time. Took about 3-4 mins to get 20 stacks with this method.

Comment by 252317

I started doing this today, and I found as a resto shaman (lvl 54) f I just go resto, throw on Earth Shield take off weapon you can get it done with 2-3 raptors. Just remember to keep Earth shield up.

Edit: Spelling

Comment by blackbone

For all priests, warlocks and mages trying to do this quest with a 2-4 sec swing speed staff.... Don't.

You can however use your wand.

I came here with my level 48 priest and started smacking these guys with my staff, and progress was dreadfully slow.
Once I started using my wand the poison kept coming in.

So, pull out a low dmg fast hitting wand and you'll be done with this in no time at all!

Comment by 813375

Even at lvl 51 this one is a mission. I took the advice of above posts and went in without a weapon after trying for ages to melee them with my priests staff. Punching them in the face works much better, leave your weapons in your bag kids

Comment by 405622

I did this at 85 by unequipping everything and punching them to death.

You're not guaranteed to get spit on before you kill them.
I don't believe any one will spit more than once, so after they spit, nuke 'em and move on.
It takes a "long, LONG" time to do this quest -- I spent at least a half hour since I had to wait on respawns.

I can't wait to ride my raptor!

Comment by Shaitana

Even as a level 50 punching is much better than killing them normally. If you're a class that can heal yourself (did this on my druid) you can stand there punching the same one for at least 5 splashes (the most I got from one mob)

Comment by 771482

I haven't noticed anyone else commenting on this. Skinning knife is the best wep for this quest. Previous posters were right, proc rate is about 10% of melee. Equipping a skinning knife will cause 1-3 dmg per swing modified by your stats and it's also really fast, faster if you equip two. For most players equipping it will cause less damage and more procs per minute than punching. Skinning knife is the best for this quest.

Comment by 717646

Level 56 Goblin Warlock. I first struggled with this. Seemed like they wanted to kill me more than spit on me.
Tried wanding them, didn't work. So I tried the advice of others by unequipping my staff, and now I'm getting spitted on. To save my life I'm cursing them so they die before I do. Saves on Mana. Before I was using Drain Life.

Comment by 837553

Level 52 BOAd priest. i took on about 4-5 of them at a time in holy spec. I popped my lightwell and holy word: sanctuary while casting renew and just kept hitting them in tell i was finish. did not take long at all with all the HOTs on me. :D

Comment by Ashkallon

Remember guys: VENOMHIDE RAVASAURS. Not the Ravasaur Hunters.
One will spit and the other won't.

It's possible to get them to spit several times before they die, But if you're a Healing Class of any sort it's best to just bare-fist them to death, healing as necessary.

Trying to mass-punch them doesn't seem to increase the poison rate either. Take them one at a time and just... wait. And hope for the best.

Comment by 767297

Did this on my 76 warlock, just got naked and punched them to death, I got about 4 to 6 spits out of each one myself. Also, dismiss your demon first.

Comment by 162721

Did this quest with a lvl 55 Undead Priest. Thank you all for the above posts, several were very helpful. I had to abandon the quest and start over, after fighting a Venomhide Ravasaur with my staff for about 5 minutes and not getting spit on. At that point I un-equipped staff and wand and tried the Skinning Knife ... worked like a charm. THANKS idontdothis!

Finally managed to complete the quest by fighting only ONE Venomhide Ravasaur ... my priest was doing only 4-5 damage per hit with her skinning knife, so it didn't die. Healed myself whenever I got below half health ... it took thirteen minutes to get twenty spits, and then I had to kill the ravasaur, which was down to about half health by the time I got spit #20.

Comment by Gracin

I don't think it has been said yet, but while doing Toxic Tolerance it is possible for you to proc another poison while you currently have one, but you will not get credit for gaining it. Therefore considering the sometimes limited number of mobs, you should swing until you get the poison and stop attacking until it falls off.

Comment by Trecker

As a hunter at 85, this quest can go by really fast if you:
1) remove all your weapons (no ranged weapons, no close-combat weapons)
2) Dismiss your pet
3) Choose Aspect of the Fox or no aspect
4) Stop attacking the Venomhide Ravasaur when it is at or below 25% hp. Instead, feign death. If feign death hasn't cooled down yet, simply turn your back to the raptor so you aren't attacking it and wait for the cooldown. Alternatively, run away until the raptor returns to it's original position with full health.
5) If you receive the poison, turn and stop attacking (you don't receive credit if you already have the poison)

Completion time: 15-20 minutes.

Comment by 355546

So... this quest was quite difficult for me since I was 85, but here's the technique that I used.

For the first few dinos, I kept attacking. Getting annoyed since I wasn't getting poisoned, I decided to try something else.

Rather than straight attack, go back and forth between attacking and just standing there. Using this techniqued, I was poisoned between 1-6 times by any one raptor. It also saves the time hunting for more.

Comment by 782713

It would seem there hasn't been an update to this post in a while. Originally, if I remember correctly, this was a 20-day process, as the poison had a cooldown on it. The CD is gone, so you can do this all in one day, however, it seems if the raptors are below 30% life they poison you less frequently. I have been poisoned by one I aggro'd but did not hit, though it seems to happen more frequently after damage is done.

It would help to note that while the Carbonite Add-on gives you a good area to look for these raptors, I found a strong concentration of them at 65, 49.

Also this gives your weapon a buff called Venomhide poison, which lasts about 3 minutes and has 15 charges on it. I'm not sure if that is simply from melee contact, or just contact in general. Not surprisingly, the venomhide raptors are immune to this poison. :)

I attempted as a lvl 57 arcane mage, so they were still green to me and I could only tolerate standing there so much before I had to kill the raptor to heal. Taking on 2 raptors at a time was almost a death sentence.

Comment by 344501

I came back as a level 61 Hunter to complete old quests for Loremaster . It's time consuming, so put on your favorite music. Pick the larger field approximately @ 69,52. If you keep searching the whole area you will only find about 4 Venomhide, BUT, kill all the Ravasaur Hunters in the field and wait for the respawn. Now you have a field full of Venomhide. To encourage Poison on me, I put my pet into passive mode, at my level I got little agro from passing Ravasaurs and took the hits with little damage. It's a total of 20 poisonings.

Comment by 868614

When you attack one of these raptors there's a chance that it 'poisons' you. This gives you a 5 minute buff. You can't get poisoned again while having this buff, but you can 'right-click' it away.

What I did, on my level 54 warrior:
* I used two weapons, you can use more! (I think you can only get poisoned once per mob, per weapon).
* I attacked the raptor until I got the buff, then I 'right-clicked' it, and switched weapons.

That way I usually got poisoned twice per mob.
This way, the quest only took me 5 minutes, instead of the 20*5 = 100 minutes (if you don't click away the buff)!

Regards,
GilJ

Comment by 39982

Howto at level 85:

1. Unequip weapon as you grab 5-10 mobs to autoattack.
2. Go get a drink, stretch your legs.
?
3. Profit

Comment by 862249

Doing this a a lvl 50 resto druid. Gotta love the healing factor lol. Its quit easy at any level. This and the singing sunflower is a must for all my alts.

Still a long grind to get spit on. I killed 15 so far been spit on 10 times. Some do it twice,others none. Its bad tho when I pull two or the king rex's come over and play tho.

Comment by Chetti

Tip for 85s doing this: unequip you weapon(s), pick a raptor, and auto attack with your hands. It is possible to get all your poisons from one raptor as long as you're poking it with your hands you'll get splashed. Its kinda slow, since unarmed you don't hit for a lot (but you don't want to either).. but at 85 you're barely getting hit at the same time. Read a book, get some coffee, come back, eventually you'll have all 20, then you can proceed to 1-shot the raptor out of its misery. Happy mount hunting!

Comment by photome

I actually got all mine off of one Ravasaur. Just took off all my clothes and punched him till I had enough with some Flash Heals thrown in when I got a little low on HP.

Comment by D00m259

To easily do this quest (4.2), be an 85, take off your weapons, and punch one 'till he's dead. I got the quest done before he died, but it did take a while.

Comment by Labryn

This is annoying! I tried everything above and still no luck.

Comment by 494318

I don't really know if it's mentioned already, I personally couldn't find it - When you get sprayed you get the debuff which is obvious but if you get sprayed again you will only get your debuff duration refreshed and not getting credits for it. So what I did as a paladin was dispelling the debuff every time i got sprayed, which kind of helped me a lot. If your class can dispell Poison try it out. Good luck!

Comment by jaxsonbateman

It's probably an obvious comment, but if you're below the level of some of the raptors, make sure you pick a level 50 to punch down on. As a level 50 mage using only autoattacks I was missing enough on a level 51 that it wasn't efficient; found a level 50 and the quest was a cakewalk.

Comment by 356038

Skinning knife is the way to go. You'll get at least 5 blood splashes per raptor. I tried unequipped and it didn't do much more than before. If you're a hunter, dismiss your pet, also.

Comment by 913870

so... lock 85

take off all your gear + weapons (tabard and shirt can stay :) ) I took 3 Venomhide Ravasaur and got 20 buffs in 7 min

you need to auto attack with your hands! good luck ;)

Comment by 380933

This quest SUCKS as a Tauren or whatever else has inherent nature resistance.

I tried two different things that both had about equal effect. 1) I was pressing Alt+F4 to close WoW, then logging back on and attacking the same Ravasaur. Worked pretty well. 2) I then realized I could just run between two spawn points that were far enough away from each other to let the last one reset and run back. #1 seemed more likely to get poisoned each time I aggroed. #2 sometimes I wouldn't get a stack by the time I was ready to run away, but I also didn't have to... close WoW and log out. Either way sucked, but eventually I got it done.

Comment by 2535

As a warrior, Retaliation worked like a charm! :)

Comment by Etreum

With my 49 level priest, I unequipped my melee weapon and fought using my fists.

Power Word: Shield and Greater Heal.

Took a while but got all 20 venom splashes while killing only one Venomhide Ravasaur.

Comment by Kaiteir

Confirmed that you can only get the poison if you are hitting the mob.

If you're trying to do this quest at 85 the best way is to take off ALL your gear (rings, cloak, trinks and neck included) and auto attk them. Also make sure you remove all buffs.

Took me about 20 secs to kill each one with auto attk as a feral druid and i would get 1-4 poisons each go around.

Comment by Roserud

If you're level 85, just do it naked!

Comment by 933764

This is hands down the most tedious quest ever! It took me a while but I got all 20 slashes. I'm sure other people have a quicker way to get this done but for me this is the only thing that worked. I stripped off all the armor. If there were any Ravasaur Hunters in the area I cleared them out first. I am a 57 Warlock so I made my self a health stone and put my pet on passive. Then I got one of the venom raptors and pulled it away from the clearing. There is a devilsaur that strolls through now and again so I made sure to stay out of his path. Some times I would get a slash while dragging him away. Some times I had to bop him in the head a few times. Once I got the slash I ran away and waited for the 5 min counter to go away. I found I could get another slash while I was still poisoned. Also as a lock make sure you don't have demon armor up!

Good Luck!

Comment by 908758

Just did this on my lvl 85 DK - took the advice of someone else and took of all my gear, and used auto-attack with no weapon equipped. Took about 15 minutes to get all 20.

Comment by 384133

Just did this on my level 80 Shadow Priest. I stripped off all my gear, trinks and weapons. Went NW and found 2 Venomhides and 2 other kinds. Aggroed all 4 and just auto attacked without shadowform and just used greater heal on myself everytime I got down to 25 - 30 % health. It took about 30 minutes but got them all off that one group and yes only the Venomhides can splash you.

If you aren't a self healing class, bring a healer or get ready for a long night of fighting.

Comment by xaratherus

It seemed while I was doing the quest this afternoon that stacks of poison you get while you're currently poisoned don't count toward the 20. Someone should double-check this. If so then cleansing the poison off yourself as soon as you get credit for it can ensure you don't miss getting credit for poisoning.

Comment by 908876

I got nakes, started puching one and went to grab coffee, when I returned the quest was done (:

Comment by Horsebananas

Doing this on my level 50 hunter now, just got splashed with venom after shooting the raptor with a ranged attack.

Comment by Ental

As of Patch 4.3.4:

85 Tauren Elemental Shaman

All I did was strip down to nothing, turned off my Lightning Shield, and walked up to the Venomhide Ravasaur and started punching. Since they have roughly 2800 HP, and my punches do all of 50 HP, it takes quite a while for them to go down which gives ample opportunities for you to be splashed with blood. I got roughly 3 splashes per Ravasaur which equated to 7 kills.

Best way to do this is to just strip down, punch them, and wait till they die, then move on to the next one. Easy as that. Amazingly I had over 4k damage done to me each fight and averaged 31 dps.

Comment by 1031716

Can I just mention that the new Undead Racial ability SUCKS for this!

Comment by 615227

If, like me, you are doing this at 90, even if you take off all your gear, you will still 1-2 shot these mobs. I definitely recommend flying high enough in the air and dismounting so you die and can get Resurrection Sickness. The resurrection in addition to you taking off all your gear should allow you to get between 3 and 4 of the blood spatters per Venomhide Ravasaur.

I also suggest you leave your gear in your bank while you do this. Even if your gear is in your bags, it will still take durability damage from falling to your death.

Comment by 1054233

Level 55 Fire Mage:
I stood on a small islet and shot Ice Lance at passing Venomhides. Once they are in range, I cast Ice Barrier, let them pummel me, and collect the spits. Once my Ice Barrier reaches its' final seconds, I pyroed them to death.

Repeated the above seven times to collect the 20 spits.

Comment by Nikeyeia

If you're simply a player who's leveling up in the zone, do not take this quest! It takes at least half an hour, and is really not worth it in terms of exp earned, and you don't need to complete it to do the other quests in the hub.

Comment by swiftyjay

Best way i found being 90 is to strip naked to minimise stats, bare hand hit the Venomhide Ravasaur and alt tab, come back 1-2 mins and you can get multiple splash tags per mob.

Comment by traumatic

Since I didn't see anything about Pandaria and level 90s I thought I'd give a heads up on this.
The quest line is still there and the mount is available. I was a little worried about doing this on my 90 Shadow Priest. I took all her clothes, rings, trinkets, and weapons off and pulled one of the Venomhides. I whacked him bare-handed and he poisoned me so I kept at it. He mostly missed me when he struck at me. After he poisoned me the second time his health was still way up there since I was hitting lightly. Long story, short, I ended up pulling 3 of them and took turns smacking them. Didn't take long to get poisoned the 20 times then just Faded and ran off leaving them for someone else to pester. Hope this answers a few questions and helps out.
BTW my own health never dropped below 98% with 3 of them attacking me.

*Edit* No Venomhide Ravasaurs were harmed... much... during this quest. All 3 lived to be punching bags in the future.
*Edit 2* I thought I should mention I got this mount on a Horde toon, of course, and when I logged on an Alliance toon I also had the Winterspring Frostsaber which I never quested for. So, each gives the other depending on a toon's faction.

Comment by BloodyElfyRag

Hard to do it at 90...

Comment by Sahir

Did this as level 90 mage. Took off weapon and just slapping the dinosaur in the face. No need to take off all gear. Put on autoattack and watch a Stargate SG1 episode (It's important that you watch that specific show...) and you get it done in a few.

Comment by Hawkyyy

This is possible in MoP at lvl 90.

Just take all your gear & weapons off and just fist attack them, took me about 30mins of running around attacking them waiting to get the poison hits.

You can go from hitting them from 10 to 15k+ so it will take you some time, but is still doable.

Im a level 90 warrior.I done this by taking off all my gear,get on flying mount fly up and dismount so i die then speak to Spirit Healer and got Ressurection Sickness. After that i attacked one Raptor and go all stacks.. Easy as hell

Comment by nettur

As a level 80+ Undead trying to do this it is extremely annoying due to their new passive, The touch of the grave as it drains their health and heals you and the raptors only have like 5k hp, so if it procs you'll just kill them with one hit.
But if you're patient you'll make it in the end.

Comment by 1004898

A good trick I found as an in-level Mage was to skirt around the Venomhide spamming Frost Nova and a Water Elementals Freeze, if you got low health the Venomhide can be killed off easily or you can run away without any trouble to regenerate.
I found that melee hitting with a staff didn't work well if at all but this did the trick.
Takes a little while but I easily did it within 10-30 minutes or so.

Good tactic for those lower level who want to do it then rather than waiting to be a higher level.

Comment by Kyulan

I found this quest impossible with my level 90 windwalker monk. Me killing the ravasaur too fast is not the problem, stripping gear really helps but the thing is the ravasaur misses all its hits. I stood there for a few minutes and all I got was miss, miss, miss, miss... even when I was my back against it.

Comment by Brissingar

Did it at lv 90, wore all my pve gear except my weapon....did about 15 damage a punch (I do play a mage). Took about 5 minutes to kill, but got all my blood splashes off of one venomhide raptor. Just make sure that it is a "venomhide" and not just a random raptor.

Comment by 1242345

Probably the dumbest quest out there. Takes ages, and generally makes me want to vomit.

Comment by 1202061

This all starts at Mor'vek when he gives you the quest Toxic Tolerance.

The full chain quest is:
- Toxic Tolerance
- Venomhide Eggs

Then the following quests for 20 days (it's a random quest each day)

- Hungry, Hungry Hatchling
- Gorishi Grub
- Poached, Scrambled, Or Raw?
- Searing Roc Feathers

And finally you will finish They Grow Up So Fast and get your new raptor mount

thought this post by Spac3Rat would help some people looking for the quest.

P.S.
i know for a fact that Hungry, Hungry Hatchling can be obtained and completed despite the warning on the page.

Comment by icwtcx

One of the most boring quest. As a hunter keep your pet in passive and just rely on auto-shot. In case it does too much damage unequip your weapon. There is a chance of 2-3 splashes from 1 Ravasaur.

Comment by Cheezypoofs25

I found an easy way to do this I think...

Like every has said, take your weapon off or use a low dps weapon.
Gather 2 or 3 Venonhide Ravasaurs. I found 3 together @ 71.55, 49.57 that were easy to group up. Watch out for the Elite Devilsaurs wandering around though.
Don't attack when you have the debuff. Make sure the debuff goes away before you resume attacking. The debuff doesn't stack, so let the debuff wear off before you attack again. I got the debuff most often from an immediate counterattack to one of my abilities. I used Swipe (Bear).
If one of them is about to die, reset the fight by running away and breaking the leashes.
Rinse and repeat.

Comment by Thrahxis

So those of us that are forsaken will have a hell of a time with this. Taking off all your gear and melee attacking barehanded doesn't help much since Touch of the Grave procs whether you're unarmed or using a low dps weapon. Basically you'll kill a ton of them before you finish this quest.

One tip I can add is that if you get poisoned stop auto attacking that mob until the debuff wears off.so you don't accidentally proc Touch.

Comment by gumby760

Tried this many times today. I've tried barehanded and with a low damage weapon. I get nothing at all. I let him beat me to less than 1k hp and still no buff/debuff. I logged out and back in once to make sure it wasn't a server glitch. Any hints or help would be appreciated...

Comment by TommyKost

Very boring quest but incredibly simple once you understand the mechanics.

Basically, attack a Venomhide raptor and, during combat, you will get splashed.

Tips:
- If you are a high level, remove your armor, trinkets, and weapon(s).
- Avoid casting spells during combat. If you kill the raptors too quick, you decrease your chances of getting splashed multiple times per NPC.

The longer you are in combat, the higher the chance you will be splashed. If done properly, you may only need to aggro 3-4 raptors to complete this quest.

Good luck!

Comment by EesuOfAzuremyst

If you're a high level, grouping up with a low level will help. Just let the low level beat the Venomhide and stand close by so the venomous blood will splash to you. :)

Actually not sure if you even have to be in a party or if the other guy needs to be on that quest.

Comment by Nihilich

With the way damage is boosted for older content now, it is incredibly difficult to do this quest as a 90 because even fully naked your fist will kill them in one punch.

Comment by Icantplay

Ressurection sickness is the way to go. You get so weak u dont kill them at once.

Comment by dibzz

in case you are trying to do this at level 100 an extra tip to help complete to make it easier is to remove all your gear, fly up on mount and drop or kill yourself in some way and take rez sickness so you arent one shotting them every hit, and when you go to kill one let it aggro to you wait 2 seconds and start attacking with your fists you get 2-3 hits in before they die. when sickness drops just repeat killing urself and picking up rez sickness. its tedious but it works and the blood splatter builds up faster than one shotting them. also some prep would be to leave ur equipment in bank so it u dont have to pay for repairs

hope this helps

Comment by layllaa

I honestly don't believe they didn't do something about this quest! Instant kill even if my char is naked. >.< And NO I don't want to get rez sickness!

Why alliance gets. pick 8 cubs (done in 30 seconds) and we have to SUFFER for ages until we get those 20 poison attacks.

CMON BLIZZARD!

Comment by destroyeron

Worst quest in the game.

Comment by romskeeone

Very, very hard to do if you're lvl 100. The chance of blood spilling on you is pretty low, and even with resurrection sickness it takes only two to three hits from you to kill them. If you are above level 80/90 I'd suggest not to bother with killing them on your main and creating a DK just to complete this quest and the dailies. Non-class mounts are account-wide anyway, so you'll get the mount on your main as well as won't have to bother with killing about 50/100 ravasaurs, if not more.

Comment by Destructor2012

As others have said, this quest is very difficult when you're trying to do it on a high level character. I must've spent 30+ minutes just on this alone and killed probably 100+ raptors trying to do this even with res sickness and no equipment. This is almost as bad as the Zhevra Hooves quest, but 1,000,000 times worse.

To start with there's not enough raptors in the area IMO (only the venom ones count for this quest), so if there's more than just you doing this quest, it's going to take a while. Then you're only able to get the poison if you're attacking the mob, and thus if you're high level, you're going to kill it in 1-3 hits anyways even with no equipment. Then it's a low chance to even inflict the poison in the first place. Sigh. Quests like this they should either buff the mobs when they're fighting high level players or debuff the players so we can not insta-kill the mob when it's needed to inflict us with some sort of ailment for the quest.

Just my 2 cents, YMMV.

Comment by 353185

I have to say, this is probably the worst quest I have ever done since reaching level 100...
It took me 2,5 hours, no equipment and ress sickness to complete this.

I hope some of you have better luck then I had!

Comment by 1474377

Resurrection sickness saved me!

If you do this quest shortly after dinging lvl 61 you will notice that your character's damage is scaled A LOT when fighting mobs in the vanilla zones. I was unlucky to hit lvl 61 in a pet battle just before attempting this quest and whatever I did I ended up two-shoting the raptors. Even naked and unarmed I made ~1800 dmg per hit.

The trick that many people have mentioned in the comments is to get resurrection sickness. This is especially important if you're still in your lvl 60's since it seems to completely nullify the damage scaling! Instead of hitting 1800, I ended up hitting for 100 per hit. Finished the quest in less than 20 mins!

I guess this applies for lvl 100 characters as well, but you probably end up hitting very hard even without the scaling at that level.

Comment by 1442032

I did this quest as a level 52 hunter. After 20 mins of frustration and only 5 splashes, I found a method that reliably works. Hit the raptor the first time, escape to stop your attack, then right click to manually attack again. Keep escaping and right clicking until you get a splash from that raptor, then kill it and repeat with another raptor. I got the other 15 splashes in about 10 mins this way.

Comment by ricangsxrdude

Just completed this on my twink 80. Took off all his gear, got rezz sickness, and hunter down 3 Venomhides and just ran in a circle til I got all the ticks. Ran in a circle auto attacking them. Took me like 20 mins. Just reset them once they are about to die. Quite annoying quest and it will test your patience, as they don't always apply the buff when you hit them. Hope this helps some of you.

Comment by 1499563

If you are trying to do this quest at level 100 for loremaster quests, simply take your gear off and arm yourself with the cheapest fishing pole and let them hit you and you will get this done fast. It does take a good 30 minutes I noticed.

Comment by Kolosh

If you are a Level 100 (or above) character doing Loremaster and don't want to waste your time, i can tell this quest is completely skippable for the 41 quests.

Comment by maven1979

Level 100 Guide

Just consider this an old fashioned "gather X" quest with a low drop rate. Run/fly around and kill these. Even if you one shot them, about 10% will give you credit for the poison. They do not need to hit you, contrary to old theories, though it does take an hour+. I tried most tricks people mentioned: taking rez sickness, taking off all my gear, using low damage bombs (course dynamite takes them to 20% health) but just go kill them and you will be done faster than trying to search a bunch of threads for some special trick.

Comment by WoWGnGP

I made i playthrough of this quest if anyone wish to see how to do it :)

Level 100 Rogue (maybe all melee) advice

I had been going 30 minutes and got 6 splashes, removed my gear and then came on the forums. I then did res sickness and was still killing in two punches. I realised the "Splash" was a chance on hit and it didn't have to be melee, just physical dmg.

Here's how I then got 12 in 10 minutes.

Naked + res sickness
The splash has infinite range if you are the attacker, not just melee range
Use throw at max range (you can get in maybe 10 hits spamming the button) until they are too close then change targets
You can't get more than one debuff per combat, I found, so if you see the green cloud splash and you get one credited - Vanish
If you don't get Splash (it's about a 1 in 10 chance) then stop attacking and run towards a new group and throw at them until you get a splash
You can only get one splash, so drop combat or kill them after you get one
Move on with your life

Comment by rachel2801

after killing them for a while and not getting splashed with blood i realised that i needed to let them attack me.
don't use any spells, weapons, traps, etc. just auto hit and sit back
.
don't worry you can not get hurt by them. all hits are missed or parry
it will also help to remove any weapons

during the fight it will come up saying you have been splashed with venom, you can be splashed more than once in a fight
stay clear of the ravasaur hunters, they don't splash you with venom and can hurt you during a fight

hope this helps

Comment by 1457375

Even naked with res sickness this quest is $%^&ing impossible. I'm at 6 of 20, after 4 res sickness debuffs. 120g a @#$%ing debuff, just to get anbother debuff from a poisonous dinosaur that won't poison you unless you melee it. Which is almost impossible to get to proc. 2200hp dinosaurs, 1900 white hits with res sickness and no gear on. If you crit, it dies. If you multistrike, it dies. If the game lags or stalls for longer than .5 secs, it dies. Just killed dozens of these stupid things, and can't get more than 6/20. Loremaster is like the only $%^& I have left to complete on this game. Will be zone #2 I can't complete due to the *!@#ing RNG gods again.

Comment by lance171

It MAY trigger from spells. Checked it out today.

Comment by LeaNoodles

Not once, not twice, but THREE times I was trying to complete this quest and some other player thought they would be 'helpful' and killed the Ravasaur I was punching. /exasperated

But, yeah, like others have said, unequip your weapon, punch the dino and heal yourself. They really should have just named this quest 'Raptor Boxing' because that's what you'll be doing

Comment by Waterfuzz

You may hop realms for this one, but only in 5-man groups. You won't get the debuff while being in a raid, so watch out for groups suddenly converting to raids.

As others said, at lvl100 you should remove all equipment and get res sickness. Then punch those venomhide dinos (takes 3 punches to kill them this way). You won't get the debuff every time, but you'll get to 20 eventually.

This quest cost me 335g in repairs.

Comment by Kaiokenx

Don't use Cross Realm Assist. I joined a group and after 10 minutes of no luck I finally got a poison debuff and found out that it didn't count because I was in a raid group. Don't be like me.

Bank your gear and get rez sickness if you are level 100.

Comment by chaos1979

The only way I found to do this was unequip all my armor,trinkets,and weapons and get res sickness. I did this as a level 61 undead rogue. Still took a long time to do because I was still able to do some damage to the raptors.

Comment by 1399908

To all the other level 100's and future 110's...

Get the Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II from the AH (generally about 500g), and use that as this has worked for me as of 6.2.4.

Tip: Since it does damage in a cone, it will be better if you can group multiple venomhides near each other to maximise your potential for getting the credit. Hope this helps! :)

Comment by 1638571

As a skinner, I found this cumbersome quest "not bad"

Comment by NessieMo

If you've already done the Alliance equivalent "They Grow up So Fast" quest have the Winterspring Frostsaber, your horde character will already have the Venomhide Ravasaur.

This quest was so difficult at level 100, as even naked with res sickness it took a couple of hours to get sufficient splashes, that I'm sure it will be virtually impossible once you start levelling in Legion. If you have an Alliance alt, the Winterspring Frostsaver may be the best way to get the raptor mount.

Comment by wahyaunega

So for those of you on high pop servers. There is no need to actually KILL them. You can white damage them while naked (and rez sick for 70+ level characters) and when it's low on health, RUN, let it reset and get back to full health, repeat. I just did this naked on a level 60 DK naked in about 30 minutes for all 20 splashes. (You can kill it before it kills you barely, to get stacks faster since the tedious part is finding one alive) Hope this helps.

Comment by mazzler

For Loremaster grind

*you only get stacks when you deal damage
*you'll need/want to take off all your items and get rez sickness, anything that will reduce your damage
*you can leave combat after hitting them then reenter after they run back to try again

(I did this at lvl 100 and it was agony)

Comment by dangedup

I started off doing this quest as a lvl 52 shadow priest but wasn't able to heal myself. So i switched to holy spec and took off my wand and off-hand and just started punching the same raptor over and over.

After about 15-20 minutes I was able to get all 20 splashes.

Thanks to those that suggested taking off my weapons!

Comment by Chronokatan

There are new weapons in the toystore in Dalaran so that a high level character can hurt low level monsters without killing them. No need to kill yourself or get nacked. You need to hit the raptors in order to get the toxic buff.

Sit down! Sitting characters in WoW can be hit by anything. Doesn't matter the level difference. This way you get the stacks in no time.

Comment by Bogsdorei

If you can equip mail...

No need for rez sickness, getting naked or engineering stuff! Not even the new toy, Soft Foam Sword!

Equip this Flamescale Mail, aggro a Venomhide Ravasaur and just stand there!

Proof & another proof

Comment by Avienne

If you're high level and doing too much damage to the ravasaurs, purchase and equip a foam sword from the toy shop in Dalaran. You'll be attacking but not injuring them.

Soft Foam Sword

Comment by orangepudd

I have used the foam sword in the nude after rez sickness and it took me an hour to get 3/20 splashes of blood. After getting the Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II however, it's taken me only 30 minutes to get up to 16/20 splashes of blood. Highly recommend using the gun instead.

Comment by Deweydog90

Warlock is somewhat easy
all you have to do have a Demonic Circle for a quick escape if its get out of hand
Healthstone comes it handing when you are about to die
Put a Soulstone on you so you if die you stay where you are without going to your corpse again and again
Drainlife also good if you use a Healthstone
and last not least use a low-level dagger
if the raptor is going to die run away it will regain its health and repeat the process.

Comment by IcecrownEth

To err on the side of caution, plan on spending an hour or so to complete this. I completed as a level 100 Ret Pally.

As mentioned elsewhere go nude, take flight, drop to your death. Resurrect.

The go to:

/way Un'goro Crater 62.65, 51.80 Venomhide Ravesaur

I found (at least) six Venomhide Ravesaur that spawn within the Marshlands area of this waypoint. The Hunters seem to be placeholders but this is unconfirmed. I could punch each mob twice without killing them. I would then run towards the next target with auto attack on, keeping the previous mob targeted. I was only poisoned once by doing this but can confirm it is possible.

Hope this helps!

Comment by Saracalia

I found at at 110, it is quite hard to do, even if you ress sickness and go naked, you still one shot them. Probably best to use a low level toon, minimun to what level the quest giver gives the quest.

Comment by 1776861

Im a level 104 balance druid and ive done everything to get sprayed with poison, ive taken off my clothes and i killed it in one shot i took off my weapon and clothes but still i kill it in one shot is there any way i can weaken myself so that i dont do as much damage?

Comment by sakera

For those doing the quest chain at high levels, it might be worth a trip to the toy vendor in ORG to purchase the Soft Foam Sword toy.

Comment by Khorreed

Didn't think if would be harder to do in futher expansions...

Comment by Ankira13

I died while AFK fist-fighting a Venomhide Ravasaur because I was reading this comment section.

Comment by drpimento

stripped down with only Tabard equipped, as an L55 orc hunter with a pet it took me a half hour to get four spits and died twice. Second time, after dying, I had to exit for a while. When I came back, rezed and taunted a few of the VH, but no spit before they died. i was wondering what gives. Then in the green light Un Goro, I noticed my toon didn't look so stripped down. So I clicked the "C" and lo, and behold, he was almost fully dressed! Somehow came back to life dressed minus only head gear, gun, and trinkets! I've had enough. Abandoning.

Comment by Zahl

OMG, i've been killing these guys for an hour now and I"m still 8/20!

Comment by KieraKittie

You CAN do this as a 110, without fancy help. It's just a pain in the bum and takes some time.

First of all. Soft Foam Sword, and Savage Snowball, Dynamite.. They Don't work. I've tried them all personally. foam sword will hit them once, leave them stunned and pretty dead.. Snowballs can only be used on players, and Dynamite apparently scales to your Damage (From what I was told)

What DOES work:

Step 1: Get naked, and get some Rez sickness, No this wont let you hit them more than once, all it does is lesson the chance of you being Immune to the poison when they bite you.

Step 2: Run around and fight them. From what I have figured out, is if you go at them head first, then make the punch, there is about a 1 outta 10 chance they will bite you as they die. Sometimes it happens more often, sometimes, not at all. But is DOES happen!. I compleated the quest this way as I didnt have a friendly lowbie to bring with me to try to suggested "partner splash damage" thing. I was working the quests in the area anyway for an achivment and just randomly punched them between quests. So it did take a while, yes, but it worked and eventually I finished the quest.

Good Luck!

Comment by Wassura

Just done on my lvl 110 warrior.

I've been lucky, but maybe this could help other people:

I found a lvl 52 character, grouped and while he punched the dinosaur, i taunted it.

I was without my equip.

No sickness needed.

sorry for my english, i hope you understand what i mean. if you want to correct me it would be great

Comment by Nattevis

had a hard time giving this a try at 110, but i found out Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II works the best!

Comment by jackblues

Naked + res sickness + Whole-Body Shrinka'

Comment by Sweetsour

Can confirm, as of the day before 7.3.5, this is easily achieved with Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II. Fairly inexpensive to make (10x Ghost Iron Bar worth of mats). Just pull 2-3 Venomhide Ravasaurs at a time - as a Shaman, I used Purge to pull. Almost every pack you pull will get you at least one hit of venom. No nakedness or rez sickness required. Just blast them with the gun until they're dead, then move onto the next pack.

Comment by Eziair

The Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II. works perfectly.

As a lvl 110 hunter I found a spot with 4 Venomhide Ravasurs close together (71.53). Pull all 4 and as soon as I got splashed (look for the de-buff) I would Feign Death to reset them. No need for running around,

Comment by Dilph

Has to be one of the worsed quests I have endured yet Blizz PURE PANTS

Comment by jfoobar

If you are 110, go right ahead. However, if you are at level, this quest just isn't worth it. You don't need it to complete the zone achievement and it is too frustrating to do otherwise.

Comment by IvikN

If u out of options and have Iron Boot Flask it also can help... eventually. Just turn urself to iron dwarf and stand with three-four raptors waiting (sickness will help it get better since lightning will hurt raptors less)

Comment by QueenSylvanas

As of 7.3.5 , with a level 110 hunter... tried the Toy and the res sickness + naked... neither one works !

Comment by Skolodac

Done with sickness + naked. You need to hit them, not to be hit. BTW for undeads its even harder to not kill them because of Touch of the Grave.

Comment by Diurn0

With a 110lv character, all you need is:

-get naked
-get ress sickness
-use Whole-Body Shrinka' , sold by Ravika (with bfa prepatch she is located at Echo Isle in Durotar

in order to get splashed, you need to hit the Venomhide Ravasau. With the 3 requirement listed previously, engage the mob and hit him till he dies. By the time he dies you'll be able to get splashed around 10 times. Unfortunately, your toy will end and you'll have to wait 30min for the cd. You should be able to complete the quest with 2 mob and 2 toy used.

Hope it helps ^^

Comment by X0wi

Hey Guys, so I made this with my lvl 54 Arcane mage, the way I made the process faster was by :

hitting the dinosaur with my main spell
Change him into a sheep
wait for him to heal
Hit him again with my spell

Did it on update 8.0.1

Comment by GenericNPC

This game has been out for about 14 years now, and this quest is one that really takes me back to how Vanilla felt. Probably because the coding for it hasn't been touched since then, lol.

Comment by 1935392

Purely anecdotal, but I realised earlier today that you can do this quest rather quickly if you let the Venomhide Ravasaur hit you five times before attacking. I used right-click to attack and received the toxin just before they died. I got ten in a row doing it this way on my 120 character. No unequipping or resurrection sickness required.

Comment by pure162

Okay, I don't feel the latest comments on here have done the frustration of doing this quest as a geared 120 char, hence I'm writing this a bit more detailed to spare you of a lot of pain. :)

Info:
What you need to do is you need to time your melee hits with their attacks, you need to be attacked while yourself throwing a punch, which isn't really an option to calculate through. You will just have to use your patience and auto attack a couple of Venomhide Ravasaur (Note, no other mobs works) and hope you'll get lucky. It took me about 40 minutes to figure this out, from there it took maybe an additonal 1,5 hour to get splashed 20 times. The low respawn time of these mobs does make it take significantly longer and being more annoying to do.

How to:
The only way for me to throw a punch without killing the mobs were
1) Being fully ungeared, un-equip everything you have and be your nude self in the jungle.
2) Die. You need the Resurrection Sickness to not one shot them as a level 120 char. Easiest way is to fall of your mount from a high point .

Advice:

In game:
1. Since you will have to die a couple of times and use your Resurrection Sickness, at least I didn't find a way to do this within 10 minutes of the first RS Debuff, please note it will be a costly quest to repair all your gear. Yes, even the gear in your bags gets effected by your Resurrection Sickness. Hence you should either
- Leave all your gear in your bank
- Never repair until the quest is done.

in real life:
Don't start this quest as a 'one last thing before heading to bed', that's what I did and here I am super annoyed two hours later. You're in for a while, so sit back, relax, take a glass of whiskey maybe and listen to a podcast or a good music album and be in a good state - because chances are this will ruin your mood otherwise.

Good luck! :)

Comment by Arathok

Not only will this trigger randomly i seem to have finally figured out how to trigger this effect.
if you are Level 50 just have your self heals ready and go to the Mobs and start auto attacking them. No need to wait for 5 attacks from them, or attacking them at the same time they attack you.

The trigger is affected by your evade chance. Did not test for Nature Resistance, but it seems to be a standard poison effect.

Now the trick is: The Poison itself will just give you a 8 second DoT, but it will also apply a longer lasting poison enchantment to your weapon.
It WONT trigger again as long as you still have the poison on your weapon. Although it stacks on your weapon somehow the poison DoT only triggers when your weapon is free of the enchantment. So just cancel it and you are fine.

Seemed to work consistently for me always getting two or three quest ticks per Raptor.

Hope this will work for you, it seems this quest works different for every player :D

Comment by ShayWoW

I did NOT have to complete this quest to achieve Un'Goro Crater Quests for Loremaster of Kalimdor! Thank the WoW Gods because at lvl 120, even fully naked doesn't help.

Comment by kyneticwolf

120 Tauren Druid here! Got this done in under 30 minutes.

Got naked, got rez sickness, swapped to Resto spec and ran around in Stag Form (Tome of Wild Stags).
Run around at 200% speed, hitting each raptor once (most seem to be able to take a hit, a few get one shot) and by the time you're a few raptors into your route, they will start resetting and you will never run short.

I suppose this might work for any class with some kind of travel form that you can attack with, such as Ghost Wolf. Obviously, this is only to help speed the process along and not a requirement.

Comment by thelbronius

SUCH A PAIN!

After over an hour of trying at 120 this is what worked for me.

Rez sickness, naked, plus toy: whole body shrinka. It helps if you have a spammable AOE (I'm druid so I went guardian and spammed swipe). Also, make sure to scout out the area to find the highest density of venemous raptors, I used 63.4 49.5.

My swipe was hitting for 20-50 per hit, enough to trigger the spray and I could swipe away. With 2 raptor I was able to get 4 stacks pretty quickly, I was already at 16/20...

1. Die, just fall and release.
2. Accept rez sickness
3. Find 2 or more venemous raptors
4. Use whole body shrinka
5. spam swipe to victory!

Comment by KylaJargon

I have found this quest is best completed by party syncing with a low-level friend! :)

Comment by Alieru

Having trouble hitting them without killing them? Resurrection Sickness is the answer. Mount up, fly up to terminal altitude, and drop. Rez at the Spirit Healer, fly back to the Venomhide Ravasaurs, get naked, and go to town.

Comment by Mike21daisu

How to do this on lvl 120 without any additional effort:

Use either a taunt, or slow, or anything that does not do damage to them to aggro them. Get them to hit you in melee, face your back and kill them with aoe. Make sure that when you kill them, that they are facing your back 'cause when you hit them or when you kill them, they do an attack that can be dodge because you're high level, but if they're facing your back, they have way higher chance to poison you.

I did this on my highly geared 120 paladin. I used Divine Storm after I taunted each Venomhide Ravasaur when they were in melee while facing my back to them. Getting poisoned will not be guaranteed, but this will work on every 5-10th dinosaur since you're higher level and they will miss their poisoning attack sometimes. You just have to get lucky.

I did this quest with my main pc ( 120 lvl) with sickness and naked, hit venomhide ravasaur and wait and repeat

Comment by JanDeGrote

Very easy way of doing this quest if you are working on loremaster, get a low level friend use the party sync option you can find it after you press M sync up and you are lower level. Just put all gear back on and hit them and you are done in a few min.

Comment by Hippeye

Did this as a level 120 Druid. Got naked, got res sickness and just started moonfire spam (while feral). Got splashed every 2 or 3 kills. Not to bad

Comment by beztia

Ok this one is easy at any lvl but many comments are not completed or are lacking some info, so this is the thing for a high lvl:

Get Naked and Res sickness
IMPORTANT: Start hitting the Venomhide with auto attack, the poison will hit you only if you are hitting them, that is why if you one shot them you have a small chance to get it, but with auto attack, no weapon and sickness you can get many from a single dino

Comment by iHapless

The best i have found to do this effectively is by using party sync with a character of level 60 or lower, either ask a friend or use 2nd account, i believe starter accounts works.
By doing this you will be reduced to level 60 and by default all mobs are scaled up to 60. Even with full gear you will not be able to one shot them.

Take your main to ungoro
Be invited or invite your second account
Press M and under the quests list you will see the party sync button, press it and accept on other account
Enjoy being able to do the quest!

Comment by mrdeadalot

AT lvl 120.

KILL YOUR SELF AND LET VENOMHIDE RAVASAURS HIT YOU ABOUT 5 - THEM HIT THEM

LOSS YOUR EQUIPMENT - BEFORE YOU HIT ATTACK THEM

Comment by ohatcheejack

Alright, so, as you can see everyone here seems to think they have some magical way to make these guys splash more blood on you. I've tried a few of these and none of them work. There's no magical instant way to get this quest done, however here's a couple things I learned to speed it up a bit.

Stay just outside of the quest zone, you will spot the venomous ones here & there & they won't be surrounded by the normal raptors like they are deep inside the questing area.

If you have any abilities or anything that can reduce damage taken, do it, but you have to attack. Just auto-attack and heal yourself if possible & kill the raptor before you take too much damage. I was getting 3-4 blood splashes each encounter doing this.

It's just one of those quests that takes time. Try to enjoy it as much as you can.

Comment by Nivius

--------------------
EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS patch 8.3.7 max lvl 120. (This will also ALWAYS WORK IN THE FUTURE)
--------------------

find a low level player in the zone (40-60) then join their party, PARTY SYNC ON. you will be taken down to lvl 60.

now you cna just auto attack them, they do take some effort to kill now, and eventrually you can farm the VENOMHIDE ones enough to get the 20 poison spits.
you get it from attacking them, not getting attacked, so just auto attack em.

pets tank it for you, so dont use pets.

Comment by Kromag

Get naked, get rez sickness and get a couple of hits on a raptor without killing it, run until he stops following you and repeat with the same raptor

Comment by etomu

- You DO NOT need to do this quest in order to complete the Loremaster

Comment by AzurayiRose

Here to just confirm that (this is post level squish pre-SL) that if you remove your gear and weapon, die, and get rez sickness, it makes this quest a breeze. Took me about 18 Venomhides to get all 20 splashes. One last notable point: I thought I had hit a snag in this, as I tried to die while dismounting flying in the air, but had forgotten I have the parachute flying mount ability, but you can right click it after you dismount and you'll still die :) Happy Poisoning!

Comment by Kynawrath

For druids as a level 60(Shadowlands), No armor + Rez sickness + moonfire spam was found to be the quickest method dispelling yourself whenever afflicted.
Party Sync is a hugely beneficial option too if anyone's questing in the Crater

Comment by KrumbZy

(no party sync, level 60 sh method)

Hey guys,

Read so many comments here and could not quite get anything to work. I was level 60 (9.0.2 bfa) naked with rez sickness but still one shotting the raptors.

Here is what ended up working for me:

Naked and with rez sickness
Find 2/3 raptors close by each other
Use the toy Whole-Body Shrinka'
Get as many raptors together and aoe slowly
Dispell poison if you can

The toy only last 3 minutes but I managed to complete this is one cooldown of it by going into mistweaver spec and dispelling the poison when it hit me and hitting Spinning Crane Kick .

Hopefully this can help others not really figuring it out.
If you can't do this in one go, the toy's cooldown is 30 mins, go make some food and rinse and repeat.

Happy raptor riding

Comment by johnnyp7289

At level 60 as a priest, I was able to slowly complete this unarmed, melee, with rez sickness.

Comment by zephyrah

I finally did this today with Sweetsour's method of the Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II. Before doing this, I was being driven crazy trying to punch the raptors to death as a hunter after having stripped naked with rez sickness and party sync. I was able to 2-shot them at that point, but it wasn't enough. The gun makes life so much easier, and seems to be the only viable way to do this in Shadowlands now.

Comment by PotatoSaladX

Used Party-Sync and another Account i just created. Get the other char to the zone, share and do the Q with other acc.

I used an druid in catform with autohits

Good luck :)

Comment by hodrain

As of Shadowlands 9.0.1, this does not seem to be doable at max level.

Even naked.

Even with rez sickness.

Every single thing listed here was attempted, and it was just nothing but a constant oneshot - the only thing that came remotely close was using Whole-Body Shrinka', and even then it was a two/three shot deal, not to mention the massive slow that you get from shrinking yourself.

I would recommend doing this quest on a character you are leveling already or that is lower level, just to get this portion out of the way, and do the rest when that toon is max level/higher level, etc.

Comment by LentzRose

Best way to do this talk to chromie and get your lvl changed to 30-50 zone the mobs will be your lvl had to do this for all the quests you have to hit a mob in order to get this completed. Or take awhile using the foam sword which is very slow

Comment by Garlin

Not require for

Comment by rlasson

I did it during Patch 9.0.5 as a level 38 Tauren warrior. Follow these simple steps:

Take off all your gear
Get on your mount and fly straight up very high and then dismount. Die.
Get res sickness
Return and start killing raptors. If you run out of res sickness before you get 20, repeat

Comment by chickachoy

Surprised that people have had such an issue. Lvl 60 Blood Elf Warlock. Res sickness and being naked made me able to get hit and progress the quest. It took a little while as my autos would still eventually kill them, but it's doable with a bit of time (all in all about 15 minutes)

Comment by WhoreSeason

whatever i try i cant do this quest. i have followed the steps listed in the comments and i cant complete it

Comment by NormaOfMoonglade

Currently, the best method (maybe only one) on high levels is using Whole-Body Shrinka' while being naked and with rez sickness. This way your toon is weakest and he/she will get the most punches per Venomhide Ravasaur death. Remember to use a toy close to VR group because you're really, really small and you may not have time to get to other VRs. And with a long 30 min cooldown on the toy just do this quest between other quests for the sake of your sanity :).

Comment by sergioapl

Forget about the toy/ress sickness/naked, right now the best way to do it (will take like 5 minutes). Get in group with someone using chromie time, use Party Sync and you will do this quest without problems

Comment by Bozzna

one of the better ways i found to get venom stacks in 9.1+ on a max level player

1) unequip everything but an item with a domination socket (optional: get ress sickness)
2) socket this item with shard of Zed (unholy aura)
3) pull a few venomhides raptors
4) trigger the unholy aura with nondamaging spells (spam heals on yourself of something similiar)
5) the aura ticks count as hits and can trigger the poison
6) if the aura didnt kill the raptors, run away until they leash/reset and repeat

Comment by 50Confused

Credit for this quest is shared when in a party. I leveled a 30 druid specifically for this questline and my friend was on his lvl 50 pally. He got credit everytime I was splashed.

Comment by Beegoe

I found an easy way, as a Mage atleast, to complete this, in Shadowlands max level.
Obvious step 1&2, take off gear and get rez sickness. Pull around 6-7 (most I could group together without going out of their range).
Use an ability, or punch, until they're all slightly damaged (frost nova worked perfect, put them all at half health)
Then go through and individually punch each one down, as low as you can get them without killing them, as you punch them they will put the debuff on you for the quest. Once that one casts it on you, stop attacking, he will only do it once per "phase". Once you have cycled through the 6-7, (they will not all always cast it, so I got abour 3-4 per group), go through and POLYMORPH each of them back to full health. Then do it again. Getting them back to full health resets their cycle, and so you can then cast frost nova, and punch them down individually again hoping to get around 3-7 tics before repeating. I did it within two rez sicknesses, only because I accidentally killed a few.

Been playing since 06, never had a wow head account, started one just to leave this comment. Hope it helped lol this took me forever to find a solution to do this solo, so I just came up with one instead.

Comment by Tirraldra

Level 60 Warlock - What worked for me was taking off all my gear, taking rez sickness. And one by one punching them down. I typically was able to get the debuff on me twice with just punching their health down. It took me about 15 minutes to get splashed 20 times.

When I grouped them all up, it was harder for me to get the debuff since if they cast it on you while you already have it, it won't count towards the quest total.

Comment by Kungmeek

Best way to do this is buy Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II, remove your gear, get res sickness and gather a couple of the Venomhide Ravasaur's and use the item on them. I got 1-2 stacks on every attempt. Takes a little while but I managed to get the quest done before res sickness ran out.

Comment by Runawaynow

As an alternative to the other options listed here for those with access to another account, Party Sync with another character in Chromie Time (they don't even need to be in the zone).

This will scale you and the creatures to be equivalent in level and should be far less tedious than the time commitment of other options listed here.

Also, curing the poison applied will allow another application to be re-applied immediately.

Comment by Polesz

Hi!
This quest is not a condition for Un'Goro Crater Quests and Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Comment by KendraKat84

As of May 2022, can confirm: Worst quest on retail. They take forever to cast the poison on your character. I kill them very slowly and I get about one casting per 3 venomhide. Easily one of the longest single step quests in the game. If you want/need to complete, you just need patience.

Comment by Benji518

if you're here trying to do loremaster(Shadowlands) your best friend is going to be Goblin Dragon Gun Mark II. You can buy it on the AH and its slow but it gets it done. I was able to do it without rez sickness or anything

Comment by Svalon

If you're one shotting them on max level, try purchasing a Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II from the auction house this will let you shoot them for a very small amount of damage. Just enough that they get mad (and not dead) and should then poison you.

Comment by Zonesize

The only thing, in Shadowlands, that works out of all the comments mentioned is the use of Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II.
No need to remove gear or rez sickness.

Comment by Ruikuno

As of right now, I am a Beast Mastery Hunter @ lvl 54. (and max lvl is now 60 I think?)

I'm naked, have gotten resurrection sickness stacked twice (wasn't sure if it does stack or not, honestly. But figured why not- and that was with me flying high, then canceling my mount so I can fall to death) and I still k.o. the venomhides in one punch.
I'd really really like to start the "raise your" mount line, but Im starting to think I'll have to get a new toon to obtain this on because I can not figure out how to do a fractional damage on the 'saurs without killing in one hit.

Wish WoW had an item/s that let you be baby for a bit so one could complete every quest available. (Like all the ones where you need to weaken something before you can use an item on them to fullfill a quest)

I've been reading through the current comments, but I don't think an of them are viable for me.
Tips?

Comment by Kubo

As of 10.0 during Primal Storms, you are able to do this, just start killing them and they should splash you during encounter, NPCs are scaled to 60 lvl, this applies only to NPCs in the storm area, Npcs outside the area are lvl 30. My long struggle is over, Blizz knew where to place Primal Storm, cudos.

Comment by Erghar

Durning dragonflight prepatch event, primalist invasion mobs are scaled to 60 and its easier to do this quest without specyfic toys, RS or smth.

Comment by IrishBiscuits

The only way I've figured out how to do this is use your free starter account and team up with your main with the quest. Take the starter account character to the zone and have them attack while your main stands there or keeps them healed up, the ravasaur will poison the alt and it'll count towards your main's quest completion. Good luck guys

Comment by Hefalumpy

I totally forgot that I needed to go back and do this quest and decided to finally go work on it (currently max level, which is 70). I tried the soft foam sword and it did NOT work, but the Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II DID work for me! I was lucky enough to have an alt that had goblin engineering and the materials to make these for me... (one of the times I'm glad I keep everything!), but they can be purchased in the auction house on most server still.

Does it take a while? Yes... but I just ran up to a Venomhide Ravasaur and would hit them with the Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II and most of the time I would get splashed with the blood then killed it and moved on. It was a lot faster than trying out the alternatives that we've tried over the years!

Comment by Rishingo

Attempting this at Drgonflight Max Level, none of the other suggestions worked for me (Stripping Naked, Whole-Body Shrinka'
and Rez Sickness only lasts 1 minute).
EZ-Thro Dynamite or Coarse Dynamite did the trick for me, but took forever (and STILL killed the Ravasaur in 2-3 hits!)
A Red Rider Air Rifle really helped to gather groups of 5 or more!

Comment by Tiberiansun

Did the quest at Dragonflight:

get naked (but i think its optional)
get/or craft from Pandaria enginering Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II
gather few VR, every 30 sec u get 1 splash

went super easy ;) cheers

Comment by galadon

dragonflight here, for me just getting naked and smacking them with my first was enough for my max lvl priest, the mobs die in about 8 hits or so.

Comment by xLunacyx

So I went to do it in Chromie Time. The earlier the better (15 minimum) and would recommend either tank class, pet class, or anything with a heal.
You'll have to melee them to get the quest done, so just conjure up a dagger heirloom and have at them for a couple of minutes.

Comment by ArcaneEther

As of Dragonflight, at Level 70, the trick with the Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II works perfectly for this Quest.

The gun has limited charges, so you might want to bring two.

Comment by Ondontis

For me, the solution was to just use a level 27 Fury Warrior that I already had sitting around. Seems like anything under level 30 would work perfectly fine without any tricks necessary.
I tried and tried, even naked with Resurrection Sickness on a level 49 Monk, and couldn't not one-shot everything in sight, though I hadn't seen the Goblin Dragon Gun trick some people are mentioning with their max level characters.

Comment by Kanaab

Doing this during Dragonflight, buy Oil of Immolation (Oil of Immolation) on the AH, then round up three to four of the Venomide Ravasaurs and use the item, you should get one to two splashes per use of the oil, rinse and repeat until you get the quest done.
Ress sickness doesn't last long enough to help with it and Whole-Body Shrinka' makes the ravasaur leash earlier, so it didn't seem worth it too.

Comment by Mommatroll

Oye, as a max level I find I can't even get the damn mobs to spit at me. I've removed all my armor/weapons. I've even killed myself and rezzed at the "angel" to try and get rez sickness. Nada. If I swing at them bare naked they still die in one swipe.

Please, is there SOMETHING that I can do that will get them to spit at me and I DON'T kill them in one swing?

Comment by Kurhast

Just complete the quest as a level 70 in Dragonflight.

- First buy this item in auction house : Goblin Dragon Gun, Mark II
- Go to the location of the Venomhide Ravasaur
- Take off all your equipment and pull at least 3-4 Ravasaur
- Use item on them whenever it available (30s cooldown)

And Voilà ! There is also a link to my video if you want to see how it's done : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoBWvK3tOVA
PS: If the Goblin Dragon Gun item is not available on your server try looking on other, found mine on Draenor and asked a friend to trade it to me with since crossrealm trade now exist ! :)

Comment by LunarD3ATH

What a piece of crap quest.

Comment by asdsa020

The poison debuff can proc when you hit the dinosaurs, even if they die after 3-4 punches. Took me around 2 kills to get 1 credit and while it takes a bit longer, yes you can complete this by punching a lot of them.

Toxic Tolerance

Mor'vek in Un'goro Crater claims that if you were poisoned by Venomhide Ravasaur blood 20 times, you could ride one without dying. Attack Venomhide Ravasaurs for a chance to be poisoned.

	Splashed with Venomhide blood (20)

Description

You want to ride a Venomhide? Then I've got bad news for you.

The Venomhide Ravasaurs, they're all poison: Poison blood, poison spit, poison skin. You climb on one, you fall off dead in a few hours.

You'd have to build up a resistance to their toxins before I sold you one, and that takes a long, LONG time... you'd need to be splashed with poisonous blood while fighting one numerous times. If you're really interested, the venomhides prefer the northern area of the Marshlands, northwest of here.
