The Corrupter

Bring an Oracle Crystal to Maurin Bonesplitter in Desolace.
Oracle Crystal

Description

An oracle crystal would do nicely. They are crafted by the naga for their oracles to use.

Northwest of here, along the coast, is a vast coral reef that the naga have taken as their home when this close to the shore. You can find their oracles there. The Slitherblade are deadly and will not react kindly to your intrusions, so be careful and make haste.

When you return, we shall see about finding this demon lord Azrethoc.

Progress

I am ready for the oracle crystal, <class>. Finding and destroying this Lord Azrethoc would garner a great deal of favor with the Warchief for both of us. We would do well to work together and to do so swiftly so we may further our own ends and curry favor with the Warchief.

Completion

A precious oracle crystal... flawless... beautiful. Indeed.

We shall begin immediately. Finding this demon lord should be our primary concern, and its slaying demands our utmost attention.

Take a step back, <class>, and let us see what this demon is, and where he may be found.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 275 experience (16 50 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Undercity

Remember - to get the Oracles to spawn - you need to kill the others as well. They all share the same spawn pool.....

A fair warning: this quest will make you hate WoW. This quest will make you hate humanity. This quest will make you want to punch a baby.

Most of the nagas are underwater, the drop rate of the oracle crystal is low, the spawn of the oracles is shared with that of all other slitherblades, and, should you die, the corpse run is longer than you'd expect.

However, if you are really intent on completing it, here's what you should do.

First, know that to get oracles to spawn, you must kill other nagas. Fighting underwater, even if you have water breathing, is not a good idea: all the nagas run away when wounded and they swim faster than you.

You should fight on the two islands I tagged here:
https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=405:287085325227 https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=405:287085325227

Clear one, swim to the other, clear it. Go back and forth like this and you'll eventually get the item.

This is best done alongside Claim Rackmore's Treasure and Book of the Ancients.

Look, guys. Noone cares if you got it on first, second or tenth kill, so please stop informing us. For every one that gets it on first kill there's a poor guy with 50 kills and no drop. I see this in almost every quest thread and it's not really adding anything to the subject.

I've just finished the corrupter (4), clam bait and other fish to fry at the same time and the same area. All of them is around the same isle (32,23).

Other fish to fry: Nagas are located at the deepest parts, sorceresses are nearer to the surface and the rest are in the surface and on the island.

Clam bait: Soft shelled clams are all over the see but you also can find a lot of them around the isle. In addition, some creatures also may drop that item.

The corrupter: Oracle is hanging around the north side of the isle, and almost on the surface.

This quest is not as bad as it sound in some of the comments above, There were a Oracle around (28,13) just of the island, Killed it, waited for it to respawn, (did this 5 times) then she dropped it!!!! JUST be on the lookout for the L39 Giant(Elite) wandering around in the area, he WILL crush you, did me 395+ damage every strike.
Good luck &amp; Happy Hunting!!!!

This quest aint all that hard as the comments say above. Just go to 28,14 (desolace) and search for some oracles. They are just naga's like the others, kill a few, and you're done.

What I did was to clear the island at 28.7 (Ranazjar Isle) and wait for respawn. Then I dont have to be in the water

Oracles seem to spawn on the S side of the Ranazjar Island under the water. I easily found 2-3 at a time in this area.

It seems that blizzard may of increased the droprate.
My third time around on this quest instead of the head bashing grind, first kill first drop.

Found out I was killing the wrong type of mob for the orb. I swam a little more and spotted 2 oracles. 1st one dropped it.

I tend to agree with:<div class=""quote"">By Grushvak on 06/07/2007 (Patch 2.1.1)
A fair warning: this quest will make you hate WoW. This quest will make you hate humanity. This quest will make you want to punch a baby.I just ground out killing everything in sight for about 45 minutes in order to respawn the 4 or 5 Oracles I was able to detect around/between the two outer islands. It didn't help that there were 2 others doing the same -- whether for the same quest/stage, I don't know. But the effect was the same -- fewer oracles to track down and kill.

Wore me out. I won't abandon the quest (yet). I'm to sado-masochistic to do that. But I'm going to hit the Battlegrounds and kill a few Alliance to vent my frustration. Then I'm going to find my way to Swamp of Sorrows (wherever the heck that is!) for another quest. I'll probably come back to this one when I can kill the Level 33-34's in 2 or 3 hits, and knock out half a dozen or so between heal sessions.

P.S. Underwater? Not bad if you're a Druid with your Aquatic Form. Hate trying to do this with my Orc Warrior!

I think it's better as well. I got it on the third Oracle I killed, though I did run back and forth between the islands looking for them. Two were underwater (one of which dropped the Oracle) and one was on the big island. Good luck!

Good idea was suggested earlier about not fighting underwater, but instead of hopping from island to island just go to the big one and knock out as many naga as possible. You'll definitely make a few Oracles spawn. Bear in mind that Oracles look identical to the Sea Witches. Got the item on the second Oracle kill.

Dropped at the first kill, just a matter of how lucky you are.
