Drop rate on these are ridiculous

Comentado por woman

And where are they????

Comentado por Thottbot

I have been dealing with some of the Dark Strand scum northeast of here at Ordil'Aran. One of their number possesses a soul gem

Yeah, I'd say the Quest was pretty clear about it. Ordil'Aran is nowhere near the Tower. It's close to the guy who gave you this quest, who is at Maestra's post.

Comentado por Thottbot

Northeast of Maestra's Post at Ruins of Ordil'Aran. Killed 2 Cultists, nothing. Then killed 1 Enforcer and got gem at 31,31. No problems here.

Comentado por Thottbot

It's in ASHENVALE .... cords: 31,31 :) ... North-East from Maestra's Post.

Comentado por Thottbot

All those who got the drop quickly that's good for you, but most of us ARE in the correct area (the ruins of Ordil'Aran in Ashenvale north of Maestra's Post) and it just takes a long, long time killing the mobs before the gem drops. You played the odds and got lucky, but for most of us the odds suck.

Comentado por Thottbot

I've done this quest at least twice on different chars, and every time it takes me ages to get the damn drop. Actually doing it as I write. And not much drops to show for it either...they should really improve the droprate on this one, it sucks. =P

...and of course it dropped on the first mob i killed after writing this. Murphy, kiss my ass!

DIRECTIONS
Starting from Delgren the Purifier at Maestra's Post walk NORTH (using your Minimap as a Guide) into a house.
You're in the right house if you notice a purple-haired Elvan Female in a green dress named Liladris Moonriver. SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS QUEST (but she may have a quest for you).

JUMP OFF THE BALCONY ------ WEEEEEEEEEE!

Wave to the Wild Bucks as you follow the eastern slope of the mountain.

Continue in this NORTHEAST direction (as indicated by the quest) until you've encountered a mass of Dark Strand fiends.

HURRAY! You've found the location!

COORDINATES
Generally the area is pretty vast, but the roundabout coords are 31,31

MINIONS A PLENTY
Bring a friend or solo if you're feeling brave. Just about each Dark Strand member has a friend of his/her own to blast you to smitherines with. I hope you brought the picnic basket.

This ste only has a 4 part tower of althalaxx quest i got a 5th part about satyr run areas in ashenvale and these areas do not exist can someone help me?

Comentado por Thottbot

I have worked on this quest for easily two weeks now. I have RW about 8 hours of killing here and NOTHING. I am a Night Elf Druid and lvl22 at at that and I haven't gotten jack except some money and XP.

My hats off to all of you that have completed this quest. I am NOT going to give up but man alive am I tired of hanging out smackin the crap out of these clowns for a stone that one of them seems to have left at home......

I'm on Dragonblight if someone wants to come point and laugh while I kill all these clowns for nothing......

Comentado por Thottbot

Seriously, if you don't get the sould gem after killing them all once then abandon the quest, go back to maestras post, take the quest again and have another go.

L22 hunter and I killed them all first go, got nothing, abandoned the quest, retook it and got the soul gem on the third kill (a defender dropped it).

It's the best way to do it if you're stuck.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Friends and I have been doing this quest for a while...not dropped yet...

Comentado por Allakhazam

Okay, I went to northeast of the tower, where all the lizard-type mobs are.. up on the right side on the hill there are human mobs, but none dropping the stone. Where is Ordil'aran?

Comentado por Allakhazam

Although as a level 20 and older I wasn't fooled, I know many a young teenager that has went in to the Tower to retreive the gem only to be met with ? level characters in the Tower and have no way out after resurrection. As a priest, I have been asked four times already in Darkshore to come help some poor soul out of there thinking he went there instead of the "The Ruins of Ordil" area, and I've only been playing for 10 days.

Also, going around with another we got the gem after about five times through the repops of the creatures, and all priest or any healers should know that each demon comes after you when the warrior attacks the darkstrand characters. Even on Lesser Heals Level 3 this is the case, so aggro management is useless if you actually want to heal. I'd recommend having yourself protected whenever you know your friend is heading towards characters with demon pets. Otherwise you're fine, you just have to be paitent.

man i got this quest idem from just after a couple of kills. i dont see how its that hard?

Comentado por Allakhazam

This quest is in Ashenvale
Go to Mystrea's Post (can't remember the exact spelling) turn back facing north and then head NE towards the cliff face..after about 2 mins walking you should start to see the Warlocks minions and then the actual Dark Strand folk.
Took me a bout 2 days to find this place and about 10 mins to get a gem.

Comentado por Allakhazam

As a level 21 Night Elf Druid, I got the gem on my second kill.
The coordinates for the area are correct: 31,31
MIND YOU, however. These are the Ruins of Ordil'Aran. I snuck past countless furlbogs thinking that they were up the path Northwest of where the quest starts.

Important things in this message:
Doable at level 21
Coordinates: 31,31
Ruins of Ordil'Aran

Comentado por Allakhazam

I got the gem after about 10 kills.

And btw, the undead ARE the dark strand.

Comentado por Allakhazam

As of today, this is still bugged--cant turn in to palidan(bloodhoof). Talked with a GM and they are working on it. Took me about 20 kills to get it(not including minions). Directions are mentioned in the text. "Northeast of here". Usually means in zone. If they want to you go to another they usually state that :)

Have been killing Dark Strand mobs for 3 hours now, no drop. Abandon it , it's not worth the effort. The drop rate is way too low for a quest this insignificant.

BIG thanks for this one....i've been killed so many times near the tower of althalaxx. damit wrong place all the time :D

...maybe it would be good to read the quest text completely ;)

Location of Dark Strand mobs at 31,31 in Ashenvale

I love how none of you f-tards posted not 1 damm useful thing! No one gives a FFFF about how your level 1 noob-ass did the quest with a toothpick for a weapon.

How about posting some locations for the quest! Wasting my damm time.

cleared the area around the tower four times and never got the drop

Why would you go back to the tower:

I have been dealing with some of the Dark Strand scum northeast of here at Ordil'Aran

it seems any and all dark strand mobs may drop this.

Really? try reading the quest text:

One of their number possesses a soul gem that I believe holds the secret to the cult's power.

WTB people ACTUALLY reading the quest

...after 30 minutes of grinding all types of mobs - got it off an excavator eventually.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I just did this on my 23 hunter...I would shoot the caster. When she would fire at me, my pet would go into action on her. I would then turn my attention to her minion and then help finish her off. The gem dropped from the 2nd caster.

cleared the area around the tower four times and never got the drop. levels later, i got the gem off of the assassins in the escort ironhand quest (something-or-other supplies i think it was called). got it off the first one i killed. it seems any and all dark strand mobs may drop this.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I agree with the earlier post about this being poorly named. As a 21 NE Hunter, I farmed Dark Strand Cultists for 2 hours at the Tower of Althalaxx with no Soulgem drop only to read later I was in the wrong spot (at least it was good XP).

This is in *Ashenvale* at Cosmos coords (31,32). After clearing out the lvl 19-21 mobs twice the gem finally dropped. Took about 30 minutes. Turn in the gem at Maestra's Post (not in Auberdine). This is south of where you were fighting.

This experience just reinforced the need to check here *before* starting quests to avoid wasting time.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I was able to do this with a 22 mage. I would sheep the caster, take out the minion, then rest up/apply first aid. The key with the casters is to use spells with low casting time such as frostbolt that also slow the caster. Three frostbolts and some arcane missles worked well. Died twice figuring that out... :)

Comentado por Allakhazam

kill the cultist, random off of them.

ne of the pali that gives you the quest. be at least 17 and pref, in a group.

This is ridiculas how pointless if I wanted to train I wouldn't do it here first of all, 2 hours no drop...

Comentado por Allakhazam

more than rare.i've tried three times to get,finished getting the last third of a level twicetrying,no drop yet.may try again or may say hell with it

Comentado por Allakhazam

So, after going for about an hour + and killing everything in the area about 30 times, I need somewhere to vent.

You don't really aggro other mobs if you stay to the outside and kill in a line. They're a decent length away from eachother to really aggo. Finished this off mainly solo with a 25 Rogue (had a 20 Lock with me about 3/4 of the way through, but she didn't really do much.) Not really a hard quest, just time-consuming (sometimes.)

I totally agree that this quest isn't worth the wasted time. A friend and I killed our way through the ruins 9 times. We are both hunters. I went through over 300 arrows. On the first run through, I leveled to 20. On the second time through, my cat leveled to 20. Alone, I went through it 3 times. Still no Soul Gem. In my opinion, just abandon this useless time waster. You're much better off spending that time, effort, and money actually completing quests where you have something to show for it.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I got the gem but it won't let me talk to him to complete it. What's wrong?

Comentado por Allakhazam

Basically.. u have to randomly kill the dark strand people in order to get the glowing gem.. i had to go and kill them 2 times... meaning i killed once.. waited for respawn and killed again.. gl

Comentado por Allakhazam

this quest is sux, it took me 1hr to get the gem.

Comentado por Allakhazam

GAH NOT DROPPING. gay quest

Comentado por Allakhazam

31,31 are close enough (may vary depending on your macro or addon)

The drop rate is HORRIBLE, but completely random. Took me 26 kills (and three deaths) as a lvl 18 druid to get the gem....

Druid tip - pick on the casters with the Voidwalkers (avoid the Imps, otherwise you have the caster and the imp throwing spells at you) - Root the walker, Rejuv yourself, then moonfire the heck out of the caster - when the caster drops, run away, the walker will chase you briefly, then it will disengage and return to the caster's body, then vanish. Return to the scene and loot. (Feel free to kill the walker too, if you have enough mana/health, but if you're level 18 like I was, you won't.)

(1650xp, 250 Darnassus rep @ Level 19)

(I was 18 when I killed them, but leveled as I finished)

Comentado por Allakhazam

I was able to solo the area NE of Delgin the Purifier as a level 19 hunter, keeping my pet in Happy mode (125% damage) and being willing to run at the first sign of add. Two hunters together at 19 should have no problems unless you fall asleep at the keyboard.

This is the rarest drop I've seen in WoW so far. It took my friend and I a combined hour and a half (I'd estimate) together soloing and grouped, chain killing everything at the site.

So just be prepared. We had both gotten our gem right at the point where I was starting to get bored, so I guess it's not too bad. And I dinged 20 there.

Comentado por Allakhazam

i've done this 4 times....
23 PLD, 23 Hunter, 19 Hunter and 18 Warlock......
the pld, 23 hunter it dropped on the 1st kill....
the 19 htr and the lock i felt like i was moving in >.<
i had to have gone through all of them at least 4 or 5 times before i got drop.

so yea its definately a feast or famine quest...plan ahead before you start just in case lol

I cleared the camp four to five times going from south to north, I got tired of that and went up to the haunt to do another quest, when I came back, the first one I killed on the north side dropped the gem

sounds like north side is the place to start, for whatever reason . . .

where r the dark strand ppl around ordil'aran i only find undead no darkstrand

Comentado por Allakhazam

this would be easier for rogues if we could sap.
i died a few times on this quest as a lvl 19 rogue. i found a good method for the warlocks with the little green fire minions is to kill the minion first, usually 1 ambush takes them out. then the warlock is easy. for the other warlock their minion was too hard. i had to kill the warlock then face the minion, gouge, run away. after the minion turns back around he'll disappear at his masters corpse. only times i died was when gouge missed :(

Got the Soul gem after just two kills. Appears to be random and seems to drop regularly. Just make sure you are killing Dark Strand and not the other humanoid mobs nearby.

Comentado por Allakhazam

This quest is HORRIBLY named. Don't name a quest for a place but make people go kill in a completely DIFFERENT area. A newbie without the area on their maps will have NO IDEA where Ordil'aran is and will go to the Tower of Althalaxx. I can't tell you how many people I had to redirect to Ordil'aran while I was killing at the tower.

Comentado por Allakhazam

The coordinates for the Ruins of Ordil'aran are 31,30. I got the gem after killing approximately 20 of the warlocks.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Wow, talk about lucking out. first one I killed gave it to me, took all of 30 seconds after finding the spot. **ASHENVALE** Not Darkshore@

lvl 21 hunter, dropped off the second caster. Just attacked the minion then sent my pet in while running back. The caster wont be able to get you as you will be out of range. This was all too easy :D

Comentado por Allakhazam

there are many mods to show you the coords, and a macro will work also

/script px,py=GetPlayerMapPosition("player");
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format(" %i , %i",GetZoneText(),px*100,py*100));

Comentado por Allakhazam

It is a very rare drop. did this quest for 1 hour to get the gem.

Comentado por Allakhazam

All I can say is that:

1) Read the quest text.
2) Get a friend (upper level guildie) to help you.

You can wipe these out really quickly when you have a friend or a party. It's not too bad, you just might have to suck up whatever pride you might be showing and ask for help. Otherwise, forget it. As a hunter or lock this could be easy, but otherwise you'll be pulling 2 mobs plus minions.

Get potions or a healer and you'll be okay, though. ^_^ Good luck.

Comentado por Allakhazam

I lucked into the gem helping someone on another quest. The quest said "completed" in the log book. I could not hand it in to Delgren the Purifier however. I logged off and then back in. No luck. So I abandoned the quest and now I can't even start the quest. Any ideas?
Thanks,

kill the dark strand people at 31,31 near Maestra's Post

Comentado por Allakhazam

As a rogue using stealth makes the quest a tad easier. My advice is to go in from the south, heading north from Maestra's Post and keeping close to the foothills. Have patience and pick off those mobs around the southern edge. The third one I killed (a mob with a minion tagging along) dropped the gem and it is definitely found around co-ords 31,31. I did this as a level 25 though and it took me about a minute to complete once I reached the Ruins of Ordil. I can guarantee if you go barging in with 'guns blazing' you'll be killed - over and over and over again.

Delgren the Purifier says: A simple enough task to break this soulstone!
Glowing Soulgem bursts open!
Sargath says: In the throes of the Sundering, Ameth'Aran was at the whim of the terror that gripped the land. There was little hope for survival.
Sargath says: Athrikus came to us. He told us that he could save us from harm. He cast a spell upon us to protect us from harm.
Sargath says: When the shaking stopped, his true motives were revealed. We were trapped, and he was slowly draining our powers.
Sargath says: There were hundreds imprisoned by his spell. Now only a few remain in their prisons. He would speak to us sometimes.
Sargath says: He worried that his power weakened, that soon even we last of his precious soulgems would fade and die.
Delgren the Purifier says: Then we must put an end to Athrikus Narassin. Tell me, spirit, where might we find the other soulgems, to undo his magic?
Sargath says: His lieutenant, Ilkrud Magthrull possesses a tome which might indicate the location of the remaining soulgems.

Maybe the drop rate is better now? I just did this on 2 different characters and got it within 5 minutes both times. Same location as everyone else says, but it dropped both times from the solo mobs standing near the hill, not in the open. Or maybe I just got lucky.

Comentado por Unbeweaveable

This quest shows as Darkshore in your log, but the drop comes from mobs immediately north west of Maestra's Post in Ashenvale, it looks like two small trees on the map. Turn in is at Maestra's Post as well.

Comentado por jediwump

Here's a tip: If you kill them in a circle, then go back around and catch them right when they spawn, you can fight them before they summon a friend most of the time. Soloed this quest and that helped A LOT.

Comentado por zGruBz

I have levelled multiple characters and all of them got the item within a few kills, but on my Druid it took almost 100 kills - literally not even joking. I watched a Hunter kill 3 mobs, and leave (presumably with the quest item). I might skip this quest in future.

Best advice on this one was to abandon the quest if the gem isn't dropping. I abandoned and re-accepted the quest - the gem dropped from my next kill.

Comentado por spiz

Advice: Skip it. I've had good luck on this before, but mostly takes forever. Just got it after 1.5 hrs of farming nonstop. I should have quit but I'm stubborn. Doesn't lead to anything worthwhile, just skip it.

Comentado por absonom

I've done this quest many times while leveling hardcore and SoD characters - the RNG on this quest is wild. Sometimes it takes me 2 hours, sometimes I get it in 2 kills. It's a nice little mob grind with good amounts of cloth and potions so even though the RNG on the drop for the quest item is bad, it can be worth it anyways.
