Description

These wastelands are riddled with redstone basilisk, <name>. These basilisk have adapted and flourished, more so than any of the other wildlife within the region.

I have watched from afar as they hunt and go about their daily activities - the beasts exhibit a thought process more complex than even some humanoids.

I must study their brains!

Retrieve ten of their brains for me, <name>. The compound cannot be complete, however, without two vulture gizzards to form the base of the solution.

Reward

You will receive:
Cerebral Cortex Compound
The following spell will be cast on you:
Infallible Mind

Progress

Have you returned with the requested organs?

Completion

This is wondrous, <name>! My offering to you is a taste of the inner workings of the redstone basilisk.

Should the compound be to your liking, more can always be made... for a price.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 470 experience (28 20 at max. level)

I'm not completely sure, but I believe that the Basilisks and Boars have interchanging spawns. That is, if a Basilisk OR Boar is killed, then there's a chance that either of the two will spawn in its place. So if you're having trouble finding basilisks (like me), then kill some boars and hope that basilisks will spawn.

EDIT: Yes, I'm damn sure that some of them have interchanging spawns, so make sure to kill some boars too!

i got a 100% drop rate, but it took a while because the basilisks are spread out and hard to find also the boars and the basilisks do have interchanging spawns so u just have to be patient and wait for them. the vultures are also around there the lvls are about 47-49

The https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8396 Vulture Gizzard's are extremely rare. Only about 10-15 birds spawn in the entire area, that plus the area is crowded. Droprate is said to be 30%. Mine was alot lower, possible 10% droprate. Skip the two quests involving these, if you not plan to grind the area for 3-4 hours.

Drop rate on brain must be around 20%, Gizzard is even worst, i would say 10%. In fact, most quests in Blasted Land are gathering quest and ALL of them have terrible drop rate.

I did all 5 quests while leveling up herbalism and it wasn't all that bad and the experience was really good too. The drop rate is kind of low but I think its worth doing.

A good ""mindless grind"" quest.

I for one quite like this area, I noticed a few saying the area was crowded but i've never seen it horribly crowded to be honest. Maybe 2-3 people about sometimes but I've not seen it very much and only when the server is at peak times.

I like this quests cause they are like ""fire and forget"" spells. You can pick them up, run around the area killing and getting some decent exp then hand them all in and never have to worry about the area again til you come here to go through the dark portal.

I've never really had a problem with drop rates, and besides more mobs killled = more exp. Thats how i think of it.
