Commento di Ormriss

Not only is the drop rate horrible, but you'll also likely have to deal with farmers who are trying to get elemental earth. Please, if you want to farm elemental earth, try the regular elementals. You will also have to deal with competition, as this quest is available to both factions. The drop rate is so bad, one player will likely need to wipe out all the lesser elementals at least two or three times before getting the 10 drops.

Horde players should pick up the Badlands Reagent Run quest as well before doing this one, just to save time and aggravation.

Commento di kreghx

You can find him around 21, 48. Good Luck! :D

Commento di moonasha

These stupid things wouldn't drop any of the shards. Then I realized i was fighting the wrong mobs. The elementals all look the same, don't make the same mistake I did.

When I did get to the real ones, the drop rate was good at around 75%. Maybe i was just lucky

Commento di gamepin126

I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I started this chain for the trinket for heroics. Really nice trinket. Anyways, the Less Rock Elementals dropped the item 10 of 10 times. Sometimes they dropped nothing but the shard. The Rock Elementals don't drop it.

Commento di 45212

The only trouble i had with this quest was the occasional ally. Other than that a piece of cake. I had a 77% drop rate

Commento di junga

Ok this was the most waste of time quest ever in my wow life :)
when i finnish this quest i noticed i got a HALF lvl. Btw dont do this quest if u dont want to waste time.. i got a half lvl on 38 :)

Commento di frychappers

i found the drop rate bad, but once i had a few pieces the drop rate picked up, i didnt have ne trouble with the other faction either, or farmers. the xp isnt great.

Commento di 67462

Nice, easy quest, good drop rate.

Commento di 72650

I Found the Drop Rate For these guys now bad, i think i might of killed about 15 and got all the items. No farmers either now-a-days coz the elemental earth aint worth crap anymore.

Commento di 10014

Lesser Rock Elementals are located just west of the quest mob - they range from 18,45 to 19,43. They are normally between 37 and 39th lvl and move farely slowly and don't hit very hard.

The drop rate is around 25%.

Note: If you head northwest you will find the 'Rock Elementals' which do NOT drop the small stone shards.

Commento di 82031

Drop rate was great 75%. just have to be in the right area

Commento di 82585

Danm the drop rate is terrible but a great grind for this quest... 15% is right, and if you do this quest have fun it might take long but u get incredible Xp after the whole thing is done since u gotta kill a ton of these elementles

Commento di 57846

I have done this quest 3 times on 3 different characters. The drop rate seems to have improved since the first time I did it, but the sheer amount of bugged elementals has increased. The ones near the large stone pillars (21,43) west of the gnome camp are usually unresponsive or are "out of range".

The quest is awful, especially if you have a class that uses elemental/nature spells (see: Shaman).

EDIT: Farmers should not be a problem post-expansion.

Commento di Epoch1

19 Lifeless stone's, 9 Jagged peice's of stone, 9 Deep rock salts, 6 Smooth Stone chips, and 6 Elemental Earth's later, at an astounding drop rate of 28% out of 36 Elementals.

Took my lv 40 lock about 20 min.

Commento di 100453

the drop rate is 25% . it took for me about 15-20 minutes to find all

Commento di Celwindia

Did this quest tonight 12/9/2007
Drop rate, was actually rather bad, started off worse than it finished.
I went 26 kills before my first one dropped, bringing me to around 3.8%, I picked up my second drop on my 44th kill, moving me up to 4.5%. About 30 minutes all total, but I went 75 kills, to get 10 drops, to finish at around 13.3% drop rate, not great.

Was done on a 41 SPriest, and with rest, I gained 15,000XP killing though =P

Commento di Kaynos

Drop rate for me was around 1 in 3. This quest now as 2.3 give 3700xp.

Commento di 92075

First quest 10/22 dropped. Not terrible, just have paitience. It was all worth it as the second quest had a 3/3 drop. Easy, quick exp. All in all I got about 5 bars in 20 minutes.

Commento di 41372

The drop rate is alright (not great but not aweful). They are really a pain as a Shaman because they are immune (or at least have a very high resist) to nature damage.

EDIT: The drop rate just got worse as I went on. Sometimes they wouldn't drop anything. Not even vendor trash.

Commento di 125554

ok, pretty bad drop rate here, but i found the best place to pick them up is around 22, 43 from the LESSER rock elementals...took me about 20 mins to finish quest but very good xp. (430+ rested, 200+ normal)

I suggest picking up Badlands Reagent Run quest from troll upstairs in INN, because the lesser rock elementals will drop quest items for that too, so i got part of another quest done while I was at it.

Hope this helps

Commento di DavronM

They changed the drop rate I think. 80% drop chance for me.

Commento di Thottbot

Make sure you don't confuse the Lesser Rock Elementals with the nearby lvl 40 Rock Elementals. The lvl 40s don't drop the shard. Only the lvl 37, 38, and 39 Lesser Rock Elementals drop it. I wasted a bunch of time killing 40s and getting nothing. Once I realized my mistake, it only took a short time to get all the shards.

Commento di Thottbot

23,43 for all u that just want to do this quest in les than 5 minutes. all the elements u need to kill are right here. took me 5 minutes.

Commento di Thottbot

The actual location for the Lesser Rock Elementals is around 20,47

Commento di Thottbot

OK, really I should post this in a bunch of quests that these two gnomes give, but I think this is the first, so:

These two will send you multiple, seperate times to buy things that essentially you will end up having to buy at AH, etc. Very frustrating, considering they are in the middle of bumscrew and its a long ride back to the city, so if you want to do all of them you'll end up needing:
Frost Oil, Patterned Copper Bracers, Gyrochromaton, Lesser Invisibility Potion, Healing Potion.

Am I forgetting anything?

Commento di Thottbot

23, 44

8 lesser rock elementals here

Commento di Thottbot

This is for everyone who read the comments by "I want to save everyone a few trips"...

Yes when Lucien Tosselwrench does offer you the quests 'Liquid Stone' & after that 'Stone Is Better than Cloth' you will need a few things which can be purchased at AH or otherwise to save yourself a few trips back and forth. However one of the items IS NOT Patterned Copper Bracers! They are in fact Patterned BRONZE Bracers. I'm not deliberately picking nits but don't go wasting your time trying to find copper bracers :)

Commento di Thottbot

Just got one off a lesser lvl 37...
they all drop it ,just remember that they respawn randomly from the same source,so kill 'em all.

Commento di Thottbot

where do u turn in i 4got

Commento di Thottbot

People its the Rock Elementals at 44,80 not the lesser elementals think thats the problem everyone is having.

Commento di Thottbot

The drop rate is terrible, didn't get one drop for about 30 min

Commento di Thottbot

I only have got 6 out of the 10 but 5 out of the 6 were from the lesser rock elements so kill everything. Ive been doing this for atleast a hour.

Commento di Thottbot

I had a horrible drop rate on this quest! Killed 15, got 2!

Commento di Thottbot

The lesser rock thingys are around 19,43

but the onli problem was the prob rate was pathetic

Commento di Thottbot

update on this quest....took me 45 mins to finish this quest. Level 40 Undead Warrior...exhausting quest

Commento di Thottbot

Christ!
Super low drop rate for me... :|

Commento di Thottbot

Absolutely spot on correct about needing to go for the lesser rock elementals, and these can be found on the south side of the ridge starting at around 22,44 then working west and along the desert floor at the southern foot of the ridge.

And dont rock elementals pack a punch for their level?, rather like ogres

Commento di Allakhazam

The drop rate for this quest is brutal.

Commento di Allakhazam

got my second drop on my third kill :)

Commento di Allakhazam

not a fun quest. drop rate about 1 in 15 for me. good luck.

Commento di Allakhazam

killed over 100 of these guys, haven't even got 1 quest item.

Commento di Allakhazam

my partner, Cynner & i did this quest on 12/31/05 - we did one full round where we wiped out the lesser elementals first one way and then back the other - net quest stones: 2

took about a 1/2 hour break came back and started it again. better drop rate, about 1 stone to every 4-5 kills, we just swept back and forth killing them, went and sold when our inventories were full.

this first part is a real slow quest. will probably do the second part in the next day or two.

Commento di Allakhazam

damn, what a horrible low droprate. ;(

Commento di Allakhazam

Little hint to all those doing this quest, fight the ones on the mountain instead of the ones on the ground. Better drop rate for me.

Meaning not in the valley with cave.

Edited, Jun 9th 2007 4:12am by Pahgi

Commento di Allakhazam

Fairly simple, drop rate seemed ok, dunno if it's been changed since you lot did it.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is another one of those quests that makes me sick. You stand on a small cliff edge and fight maybe 20 mobs that drop these items maybe 1/5 while you fight everyone else for the mobs....its stupid and retarded.

Commento di Allakhazam

arround 21,48

Commento di Allakhazam

I just killed 17 without a drop and then i got 4 in a row... i don't know what is going on with this quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

I got a drop at about 1 in 4, didn't take too long, and they are right next to the quest giver. they are immune to nature spells

Commento di Allakhazam

Confirmed 21, 43 - 22, 43 - 21,43 are all great spots, just to the left of the questgiver.

Commento di Allakhazam

I got 2850 XP for this at level 40, when the quest is green. There are no reputation changes for completion of this quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

ive gotten 1 every kill lol...

Commento di Allakhazam

If it wasn't for my Obsessive/Compulsive nature, I would've ditched this quest long ago.

Started @ Lv42, 144 total XP, 0 rest.

Current: Lv42, 23872 XP, 3 Stones dropped.

If I figure the XP gain average correctly, that's 177 XP per kill (approx) so…

23,872 total xp
-144 starting xp
————————
23,728 earned xp
÷177 ave xp per kill
————————
134 kills (±15 kills margin of error)

I believe this quest gets my vote for "F**K ME NOW quest of the year"

I'll edit this later once I finish.

Commento di Allakhazam

So I started this quest yesterday as a lvl 49 and the droprate was pretty horrible. I cleared the spawn out several times and only got 3 stones. Yes, I made sure that I am only fighting the LESSER ones. I came back today hoping to finish the quest... I must have killed anywhere from 100 to 150 of these Lesser Rock Elementals without a SINGLE drop. I've gotten a strong iron lockbox, 2 citrines, and a bunch of other worthless crap but no stones! Then I did something stupid and thought that maybe my quest was bugged so i abandoned and got it back... then i realized i lost the only 3 stones i had... *cries*

Commento di Allakhazam

27th one dropped the 1st, #30 dropped the 2nd... guess the quest isnt broken like i was beginnig to think

Commento di Allakhazam

Just finished this quest as a `lvl 41 shaman. Location: 21,48. Got 50% drops for the first 4. Overall, I got a 40% drop rate (killed 25 for 10 total shards). Took me about 10-15 minutes to complete. I also wandered around a little while they respawned.

Be sure that you're going after the LESSER rock elementals, instead of just the rock elementals (other than the name, they look identical). The rock elementals will not drop the shards, which could be the problem that some are experiencing with a nonexistent drop rate(?).

Received 2850 experience when I turned in the quest. For me, the quest was well worth doing, but I also had a decent drop rate.

Commento di Allakhazam

hi! where can i find the questgiver (Lotwill Veriatus)? And where can i find the elementals? I just planning to go to Badlands now....

Commento di Allakhazam

drop rate is ok, but i have to reccomend doing badlands reagent rum with this. You get some of the stuff from these. And great loot, lots of VT that sells for a few silver each

Commento di Allakhazam

The drop rate was horrible yesterday but I just got the last 7 I needed in no longer than 10 minutes. It wasn't very busy, so that helped. Try to go early or later than the rush I guess.

Commento di Allakhazam

horrible drop rate, no matter where you go
im a lvl39 rogue @ 23,43 and up the mountains
They dropped 3 uncommon items before i was done
citrine 1-2g, sorcerer slippers of arcane 2g, 2 elemental earth 1gx2
so to make this worth while..aside from grinding XP i farmed the solid stone and deeprock salt
20 solid stone is 1g+
20 deeprock salt is 2g+
and they drop a %^&*load
so try and make it worth your time and make gold + the bad drop rate

Commento di Allakhazam

got to agree, drop rate is bad.
- 42 Shadow Priest

Commento di Allakhazam

the worst droprate ever, got my first at my 17th kill

Commento di Allakhazam

Finshed This Quest with LVL 44 Human Mage, Received:

Experience Gained: 1700

Leads to next quest...

Commento di Allakhazam

Have killed about 50 of them atm. Zero stones. lots of crap and exp though :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Drop rates werent great, but I got 1 in about every 5. Mabye from the new update they got better?

Commento di Allakhazam

Took me a while but I got 2850xp for this quest. Must have killed about 40 of the elementals

Commento di Allakhazam

YEEEEES at last....it took me 41 @#$%ing kills to get 10 shards.....worst drop rate ever!

Commento di Allakhazam

I got 10 shards from 16 kills, 62%. All taken from 21,43. Those that didn't drop the shards dropped elemental earth which I still needed.
I don't know why the drop rate is so low for others.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just to chime in on the drop rate, I solo'd this step, and it took me 36 kills to get the 10 drops.

It was worth it though, as they also drop lots of other stone type loot that ended up being decent vendor sells.

Edited, Sat Feb 19 11:25:31 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

Was able to get 10 in 36 kills as a 36th Paladin.

Commento di Allakhazam

i got my third drop on my fifth kill :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Made this in lvl 42. I think it will be easy. Killed near 70 "elementals". Very unusualy drop this stones. Too long quest. 3150 xp, no reputation.

Commento di Allakhazam

They must have tweaked the drop rate, 15 kills 10 Small stone shards.

Commento di Allakhazam

got my first drop on my second kill :)

Commento di SSJ5Gogetenks

You have not experienced suffering until you've experienced trying to do this quest on a Full Classic server with tens of people fighting for the spawns. Took me about 4 hours lmao.

Commento di Vorishgo

Abandon that quest at this time. Just a waste of time. At least 100% accurate for ally player.

Commento di TegoZanduba

This may seem frustrating with the low drop rate and high competition for the mobs and you think to yourself: "what do I get out of this?"

Well... eventually you will get you very first TRINKET! The Nifty Stopwatch from This Is Going to Be Hard which is locked behind this quest series and a couple other chains.

Now... is that 10 seconds of extra run speed once every 30 minutes worth it though? I can't answer that one for you.

Commento di flaggel

possibly bugged on classic got 4 to drop from lesser elementals after a hour so i dropped it, probably best to just skip this quest

Commento di ExocetRogue

Heads up, this quest took me over an hour drop rate is not great

Commento di Ishtar

Drop rate is about 8% for WoW Classic. There are not enough spawns to make up for the bad drop rate. You need 10 of these by the way. Everyone else is farming these for the same reason. Do not bother honestly.

Commento di QuickBASIC

Despite what other comments are saying, the drop rate is about 33%. These only drop off of Lesser Rock Elemental, but do not drop off of Rock Elemental in the same area.

This area is heavily farmed because the quest is needed in a chain for Nifty Stopwatch, so be ready to fight for spawns from both Alliance and Horde or plan to come during off hours to do this quest.

Commento di QuickBASIC

To get Nifty Stopwatch, you need to complete:

Gyro... What? requires Gyrochronatom.
Coolant Heads Prevail requires Frost Oil.
Study of the Elements: Rock by killing Lesser Rock Elemental for Small Stone Shard.
Study of the Elements: Rock by killing Rock Elemental for Large Stone Slab.
Study of the Elements: Rock by killing Greater Rock Elemental for Bracers of Rock Binding.
This unlocks This Is Going to Be Hard which leads to This Is Going to Be Hard which awards Nifty Stopwatch.

Keep in mind, the quest items drop off of specific mobs, so don't kill the other ones when you're doing each quest.

You can complete the other optional item turn in quests for Lucien Tosselwrench, but this is not necessary to complete the chain:

Liquid Stone requires Healing Potion and Lesser Invisibility Potion.
Stone Is Better than Cloth requires Patterned Bronze Bracers.

Commento di zedwards

F this quest. Low drop rate, constantly farmed.

Commento di WDStudios

I did this at level 47, long after it had turned gray, and got 290 experience from it. Gray quests DO still give experience!

Commento di Zeress

The hardest part of this quest chain is that step 1 is constantly overcrowded due to drop rates, and step 2 is farmed by 60s for (non-quest) drops.

Commento di Greyvax

I had a difficult time completing this quest. Had some competition tagging mobs, but eventually got it done.

Commento di lillcheeze

BUG WARNING posted primarily for "Study of the elements: Rock" but also "Badlands reagent run".

This quest kinda sucks on its own with its combination of moderately low drop rate, limited amount of mobs and high contestion with other players.
For me the quest got bugged in the sense that the game believed that I completed the quest.
I had 7x Small Stone Shard (Study of the elements: Rock) and 3x Rock Elemental Shard (Badlands reagent run).
7+3 totals 10 shards (albeit different items for different quests), and the game seems to have believed that I completed the quest Study of the Elements: Rock which requires 10 shards.

Tip: If you stop getting quest drops while you have a sum of Small Stone Shard + Rock Elemental Shard that totals 10, then I advise you to abondon the quest and start over, painful as it is for this quest.

Ps. I verified the perceived completion bug by inviting another player with the quest, setting FFA loot and killing a bunch of mobs. I looted everything from the mobs first, but got no quest items. After i looted them, the other player was happy to receive several Small Stone Shard .

Commento di kishery

Few hints on this one, as i found this quest a bit terrible in terms of drop rates, but made the mistake of killing Rock Elementals, which do not drop the shards.

Drop Rate is not that bad, but in the area there are Rock Elementals and Lesser Rock Elementals. Only the later drop.
Lesser Rock Elementals can be primarily found close to the quest givers location.
Cave Area in the northwest can spawn Lesser Rock Elementals, but seem to primarily spawn Rock Elementals.

Focus on Lesser Rock Elementals and the quest is done rather quickly.

Commento di Seirus

This quest can be a bit brutal on PvP servers, opposite faction trying to do the quest will usually attack you; often ganging up on you as well. Lvl 60s will also regularly farm this area for hours to obtain elemental earth and will usually attack you on sight. Id suggest going elsewhere and getting it done on off peak hours. Ive noticed control of the area alternates, but its almost always horde controlled due to its close proximity to Kargath.

Study of the Elements: Rock

Find 10 Small Stone Shards and bring them to Lotwil Veriatus in the Badlands.

	Small Stone Shard (10)

Descrizione

Here in the Badlands I've stopped to work on my latest project: my shackles of elemental binding.

When complete, they will allow mages to summon even more powerful elementals for use in even greater capacities. To start things off, I need small stone shards to test some of my newest offensive spells along with a few gizmos I've pieced together.

The shards are easily collected from the lesser rock elementals to the west of here. Could you bring me some?
