Be sure to read the quest for this one. What you need to do is pick up 25 Zul'Drak Rats in total (both the rats and basilisks in question are found in Drak'Agal, northeast of Apprentice Pestlepot) and throw 5 rats at each basilisk to "pacify" them and collect the crystal that you need. Killing them won't do anything!

Kommentar von Kalzet

Ive just did this as a Druid, and do not Hibernate the crosilisks. If they get the 5 rat debuff when they are hibernated they will just de-spawn and not leave a sleeping-bloated one to loot.

Edit: Roots work fine

Kommentar von KiwiRed

Easy to do as a rogue. Sap the basilisk, and use your first 4 rats on it. Now hit it once, and use the fifth rat. Don't use 5 while it's sapped, though, as it despawns after the 5th without spawning its' gorged replacement.

Kommentar von 175786

Make sure your inventory isn't full, or the basilisk will just despawn and you have to collect another 5 rats.

Kommentar von Tresjin

Also, you will need to make sure you don't feed the basilisk the 5th rat while it is next to any thorns or other obstructions. The new sleeping basilisk you loot is larger than the original basilisk, and if it can't spawn without bumping into a thorn, it won't spawn.

Kommentar von 2154

Also hunter Freezing Traps will cause them to despawn as well. But the break trap before 5th rat does work nicely.

Kommentar von redaxe

Remember to throw 5 separate rats in quick succession. I was throwing only 1 for a while (thinking a 5 stack would be thrown) and was wondering why things weren't triggering.

Kommentar von Mewo

Also as a Death Knight - Simply just keep Chains of Ice up while you keep debuffing him, it cause no despawning.

Kommentar von pogostick

Mages: not only are you supposed to not kill it, you should also not damage it at all. So click away Molten Armor buff before you start feeding, else the buff will do damage to the basilisk.

Kommentar von galouk

As warlock, just fear and feed *up to 4* them. Feed the 5th when fear ends.

Would work for any class able to fear I guess.

Kommentar von Rainheart

coords 46, 68

Kommentar von 57792

Don't feed it the fifth rat while its stunned, it will just disappear.

Kommentar von 109319

for all you rogues, dont sap and feed cuz they'll disappear. just like Raxouz says.

Kommentar von 256932

Errr if you're a pet having class (DK ghouls work) :

-Send pet
-throw Rat (x5)
-?
-Profit

worked for me

First. Collect 25 Rats you see on the ground. Than find a Lurking Basilisk (looks like an aligator), Click on the rats in your bag 5 times. There is a .5 second cold down between the rats. Once you have clicked on all 5 rats. While the Lurking Basilisk was targeted you simply click the big aligator and there is your quest. You have to do that five times. Thats why I suggest getting all 25 rats first. Than going for the Basilisk.

Kommentar von 259710

Make sure you loot your Basilisk Crystal fast. As of 11/28/08 anyone can run up and loot it before you.
A ninja grabbed one off of me.

Kommentar von 197650

If you have trouble time to finding them just press V to see their health and pick them up. =)

Kommentar von Factsfountain

Here, little rat! Cmon, you furry rascal! Come to me! I'm not gonna throw you into the jaws of a large lizard-thing so you can be eaten! No! I just want to pet you!

Kommentar von 73905

Kommentar von 273322

also if you're going for the critter gitter achievement...i think thats the name of it....its super easy to complete it that too during this quest...only cuz theres like 40 rats on the ground haha

Kommentar von 275068

DOVETE PRENDERE 5 TOPI PER OGNI BASILISKO E TIRARGLIELI ADDOSSO IN QUESTO MODO APPENA TUTTI E 5 I TOPI SARANNO STATI TIRATI APPARIRA' IL BASILISKO CHE DROPPA IL CRISTALLO

Kommentar von 18814

Press V on your keyboard and the rats will show up from several yards away (it shows their health bars, which are clickable). No more searching. Seriously, do it.

Kommentar von 262983

Making a macro to /target Zul'Drak Rat made finding them so much easier, click, pan around and locate.

Kommentar von bluspacecow

I have 3 tips for this one (probably given before)

1) It may help to turn off Specular Lighting so you can see the rats better ....that or use "V" to show the nameplates

2) Fearing them as a lock and feeding the rats doesn't work. The corpse you're meant to loot never shows up

3) Best place to catch rats is by the stairs up to Zim'torga or up the stairs where you get the quest to collect the dead wood. One has lots of rats after you kill a couple of Basilicks the other has very little mobs at all.

Kommentar von 27741

Someone might have wrote it but it helped me a lot to see the little buggers by macro-targetting them to atleast see their footplates in the water.

Kommentar von notquitegosu

If, by some chance, you DO happen to damage the gorged basilisk, it will aggro on you and start attacking you; you won't be able to loot it. However, simply get it to drop aggro and it will return to its sleeping state, allowing you to loot it. Don't panic!

Kommentar von nicktom912

who comes up with quests like this?

Kommentar von arjung

Make sure to have free bagspace, if u dont u lose loot for that basilisk

Kommentar von 332900

watch your AoE around the gorged basalisks. i accadentally shadowflamed one while i was killing an add, and it woke up and attacked; you cant loot it for the crystals after you kill it, of course. i would assume that you could use another 5 rats on it, but i never tested this.

Kommentar von 29807

Turn in location is 35.1, 52.1

Kommentar von 291446

1 Of the ratz bit meh, I be hazzin rabbies D=

Kommentar von Toxiciity

seems bugged as of today just tried it on my dk

Kommentar von 376324

NOTES TO REMEMBER

1. You only use (1) rat per when using it on Lurking Basilisk (got to spam rats 5 times)
2. You don't have to kill the Lurking Basilisk, (5) rats on the target will put it to sleep it!
3. Right click the crystal

Make this easy, not confusing!

Kommentar von 457721

Toxicity is right. I also tried it as a dk. Too buggy to complete it

Kommentar von axhawk

If the newly spawned sleeping basilisk is in any ground effect, it will aggro on you instead on staying lootable. Hunters, if you lay down a frost trap to keep it slowed, make sure it's out of the area of effect before you throw your 5th rat.

Kommentar von BagOfChips

Doesn't work. I am throwing them five rats and they don't drop quest items.

Kommentar von Nathiest

Just to add a reply to the DK's earlier. Quest works fine now for DK's.

Kommentar von 450145

1. Get the 25 rats
2. Find the Lurking Basilisk they look like alligators - Click on the Lurking Basilisk then click on the rat in your inventory five times. it should toss the rat at the Lurking Basilisk, it will get FAT you see the ZZzzzzz (sleep) click on Lurking Basilisk and your done..
- "DONT YOU OR YOUR PET KILL IT" you'll take a little damage but very little as you feed it.

Fun fact: When throwing rats, their model is a fish!

Kommentar von Waerjak

These guys bite the hand that feeds them.

Kommentar von alidra

i can't help but giggle when i throw the rats, the animation of the rat flying through the air is so funny

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Many people are confused about this.. You need to hit them with 5x RATS then just click on them and take the crystal.. Easy :P

41,56 about.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Pet classes, set your pet on passive or they will enter combat when you throw your first rat.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is a very easy quest. It requires following the instructions in the quest text very literally. Here's the walk-through:

First, do Mushroom Mixer at the same time. The mushrooms are in the same area, so why not double up?

Drak'Agal is immediately to the east of the Argent Stand (where the quest giver is). I did both this one and Mushroom Mixer at 47,66 and thereabouts.

There are little rats running all over the place. When you mouse over them, the cursor does not become a blade, it becomes the circle/arrow thing, like when you deal with a vendor.

Click on a rat. It will automagically be picked up. The rat will vanish and Zul'Drak Rat will appear in your bags. Do this 5 times. You will need 5 Zul'Drak rats for each basilisk crystal.

When you have 5 Zul'Drak Rats, find a basilisk and start hurling the rats at the basilisk. Don't fight the basilisk. It will attack you once it realizes who is pelting it with rats, but you should just keep tossing rats at it until you've heaved all 5. When you hit it with the 5th rat, it will fall asleep and you can loot it. You will get 1 crystal.

Repeat until complete. Piece of cake.

The basilisks will attack you but just keep throwing rats and they will fall asleep and you can loot them.

Kommentar von hidenagenda

Yeah so you can keybind "Interact" and use that on these guys once targeted. Great for if you have a /tar macro - you /tar them and spam interact and they'll get picked up as soon as you're in range. Also can be done in druid flight form.

Bringt 5 Basiliskenkristalle zu Alchemist Finkelstein im Schrein in Heb'Valok.

	Basiliskenkristalle (5)

Beschreibung

Finkelstein, mein Meister, befindet sich im Schrein in Heb'Valok gen Nordwesten und stellt dort ein Wahrheitsserum her. Doch um dies zu tun, benötigt er etliche Basiliskenkristalle. Heb'Valok befindet sich westlich der Straße in Richtung Norden und vor dem Altar von Sseratus.

Östlich von Drak'Agal gibt es lauernde Basilisken.

Schnappt Euch ein paar Ratten von Zul'Drak und werft sie den Basilisken zum Fraß vor. Sobald sie fünf von ihnen gegessen haben, sind sie für gewöhnlich vollgefressen und lassen dann mit sich alles machen, sodass Ihr gefahrlos an ihre Kristalle herankommen könnt.

Die Basilisken zu töten, würde Euch nichts bringen... dadurch würdet Ihr nur ihre Kristalle zerbrechen!
