A Bump in the Road

Kill 10 Saltstone Basilisks, 10 Saltstone Crystalhides and 6 Saltstone Gazers for Trackmaster Zherin on the Shimmering Flats.
  •  
Saltstone Basilisk slain (10)
  •  
Saltstone Crystalhide slain (10)
  •  
Saltstone Gazer slain (6)

Description

After the big crash with the goblins' Red Thunder racer and a basilisk, Kronkrider hired me on to take care of the track. I don't know what all the animals out on the flats are feeding on to grow so big, but we have to be careful to thin them out so they won't wander onto the track when a race is going on.

Tell you what. If you want to go out and make a little profit, go out and remove the basilisks from the area.

Reward

Also, you get: 35

Progress

It's bad enough having to clear out the wreckage of the racers without having to pick them out of burnt animal parts.

Completion

I hope you didn't kill any of the basilisks on the tracks themselves! It takes a long time for the carcasses to decay in the sun, and I'd rather not have to take a shovel out to clean up.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 265 experience (15 90 at max. level)

The crater north of the quest giver is also very good for Basilisks and Crystalhides, with good spawnrates and a high concentration of the mobs you need.
I don't know the spawnrate on the ones to the south, but it may seem that the Crystalhides spawn more often there.

The above coordinates are correct, but for those without them, a large group of gazers and crystalhides are located around the Tahonda Ruins south of the raceway camp (you can easily fulfill both of those quotas just from the saltstones in that area). The basilisks are concentrated to the north of the camp in Weazel's Crater.

For efficient leveling, I recommend circling the flats doing the following all at once:

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1175 A Bump In The Road
- The crystalhides are spread all across the Shimmering Flats, kill them as you go
- Be sure to get all 10 of the Basilisks from the pit at (88, 65).
- Be sure to get all 10 of the Basilisks from the lake at (78, 87)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1176 Load Lightening (hit up 87,65 for a bunch)
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1110 Rocket Car Parts Only in the northern part of the zone, be sure to get all of them while you're there.
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1104 Salt Flat Venom Big group at (72, 73)
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1105 Hardened Shells Lots grouped at (82, 55)

Take a skinning friend with you with around the Shimmering Flats. Everything can be skinned (except the birds). My lvl 33 hunter friend had to turn in quests as we went to pack bullets and all the leather. The slow turtle shell drop rate is off set by the fast car part respawn and the many many basilisks. The bird bones were also tedious to collect. But it's a good way to spend a few hours of if your in the mood. The xp from collecting body parts and quest rewards moved my warlock most of the way from lvl 33-34. It was a little long by the end of it, but well worth the time. And a good excuse to visit Thousand Needles.
