Resonating Skull (5)
Mystic Crystal
Provided Item:
Mystic Crystal

Description

Chromie said the relics you gathered are reagents to a powerful spell, and one more is required: skulls from the scourge who took part in the battle of Darrowshire.

Take this crystal and hunt scourge champions for their skulls. The crystal is enchanted; if a champion took part in the battle, then when you pass the crystal over its skull it will resonate. Bring me those resonating skulls.

Go, <name>. You'll find scourge champions in the Noxious Glade to the north and the Fungal Vale to the west.

Progress

Do you have the skulls? Chromie said they will be critical for her spell, and that spell will give us the chance to save Darrowshire.

Completion

You found them! Wonderful!

Although I don't fully understand how they can help us, I feel their power and I know in my bones that they are linked to my home village of Darrowshire.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 660 experience (39 60 at max. level)
  • 100 Reputation with Argent Dawn

The Scourage Champions can be found in the area directly north of Light Hope's Chapel. There's about a 50% chance to turn one of the skulls they drop into a Resonating Skull that you need.

Seems this is part of a long disjointed chain that starts from https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5601 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5601 or https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5142 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5142

When I did this, I barely found any scourge champions at either area. This is because they share spawn points with the singers and stitches/golems. If you're not finding any, just kill the undead you see in those areas and wait for respawns.

Note that if your inventory is full, and you use the Mystic Crystal on a Fetid Skull, you won't receive anything.

A few things:
  1. This quest won't be available until you've done both https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5168"">(Quest #5168) and https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5181"">(Quest #5181).
  2. You may have heard that you can use the crystal on the same skull multiple times to get all your quest items, but this is no longer correct. The crystal can only be used once on each https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13157"">(Item #13157), and it will transform it either into useless Bone Dust or a Resonating Skull. More often than not you'll get Bone Dust, so be prepared to collect a lot of skulls.
  3. The https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=13159"">(Item #13159) really is useless. It may have white text, but it serves absolutely no purpose. You can't even sell it to a vendor, so just destroy it.
  4. There are a number of skeleton warrior-type mobs in the Eastern Plaguelands, but only a https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=8529"">(NPC #8529) will drop Fetid Skulls. If you're on the quest, they always drop them.

After 9 Fetid Skulls finally got 1 resonating skull. 100% drop rate from champions, just seems the chance of getting a resonating skull is awful. Alot of Chapions around 76,50.

Also had 6 Retid skulls at one point and still only got bone dust. So yes the chance is completely at random.

The full quest chain for The Battle of Darrowshire:Villains and Heroes do both need to be completed in order to get Marauders. However, https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5211 Defenders of Darrowshire (the Uncle Carlin chain) does not need to be completed in order to get to The Battle of Darrowshire.

The drop rate on Fetid Skulls is 100%; however the conversion rate to crystal skulls is horrible. No matter where you hunt you will probably want to kill other things in the hopes of rezzing more champions. So this one is quite a grind, at least it was for me. Not difficult at 59, just somewhat tedious.
- don't use the crystal on the champion until it is dead. I did this on the first one I found and it unprowled me in the middle of several bad guys. Wait until you have the skull in your inventory. Worth hot keying the crystal to save time imo.
- avoid fights with the Diseased Flayers. They aren't hard to kill but they give you a ten minute rot that drops your hit rate by 10%. As a feral cat this is a real pain the neck as you more frequently miss your opener.
- make sure you have plenty of pack space for all the goodies you are going to accumulate grinding for those resonant skulls.
- for the druids it's not worth the mana to decurse the banshees since it only lasts a few seconds.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the rate when up. About 1 skull for every 10 dusts for me so far.

Yeah I'm calling nerf to the proc chance. I made about 7-8 passes through and ended up getting a ratio of 5 resonating skulls to 16 bone dust &gt;.&lt;

Just picked up today and did it pretty easily found out if you have got one resonating skull and your inventory is full just pick up the fetid skull and use mystic crystal while your inventory is full and you always get resonating skull to complete faster rather than getting bone dust at times

The statement at the top of this page reads: ""This quest was marked obsolete by Blizzard and cannot be obtained or completed"".
Regardless, at the date of posting it is still available and is still completable (The Bone Dust which accrues in the process of this quest is defunct however, despite being white rather than grey).

n.b. The level requirements and difficulty ratings listed are also erroneous; I succesfully completed the entire quest chain with a level 43/44 Frost Mage.

If you're posting here post-Cataclysm - you're on the wrong quest page. The one you're looking for is:https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=27389"">(Quest #27389)

Apparently, Bliz marked this quest as obsolete (top of the page in red letters as of when this post was made). I was easily able to pick the quest up and complete it. Not sure if that was a bug or if the quest is back in action, but it CAN be done.
