Commentaire de Ormriss

Not only is the drop rate horrible, but you'll also likely have to deal with farmers who are trying to get elemental earth. Please, if you want to farm elemental earth, try the regular elementals. You will also have to deal with competition, as this quest is available to both factions. The drop rate is so bad, one player will likely need to wipe out all the lesser elementals at least two or three times before getting the 10 drops.

Horde players should pick up the Badlands Reagent Run quest as well before doing this one, just to save time and aggravation.

You can find him around 21, 48. Good Luck! :D

Commentaire de moonasha

These stupid things wouldn't drop any of the shards. Then I realized i was fighting the wrong mobs. The elementals all look the same, don't make the same mistake I did.

When I did get to the real ones, the drop rate was good at around 75%. Maybe i was just lucky

Commentaire de gamepin126

I don't know what you guys are talking about, but I started this chain for the trinket for heroics. Really nice trinket. Anyways, the Less Rock Elementals dropped the item 10 of 10 times. Sometimes they dropped nothing but the shard. The Rock Elementals don't drop it.

Commentaire de 45212

The only trouble i had with this quest was the occasional ally. Other than that a piece of cake. I had a 77% drop rate

Commentaire de Thottbot

Make sure you don't confuse the Lesser Rock Elementals with the nearby lvl 40 Rock Elementals. The lvl 40s don't drop the shard. Only the lvl 37, 38, and 39 Lesser Rock Elementals drop it. I wasted a bunch of time killing 40s and getting nothing. Once I realized my mistake, it only took a short time to get all the shards.

Commentaire de Thottbot

23,43 for all u that just want to do this quest in les than 5 minutes. all the elements u need to kill are right here. took me 5 minutes.

Commentaire de Thottbot

The actual location for the Lesser Rock Elementals is around 20,47

Commentaire de Thottbot

OK, really I should post this in a bunch of quests that these two gnomes give, but I think this is the first, so:

These two will send you multiple, seperate times to buy things that essentially you will end up having to buy at AH, etc. Very frustrating, considering they are in the middle of bumscrew and its a long ride back to the city, so if you want to do all of them you'll end up needing:
Frost Oil, Patterned Copper Bracers, Gyrochromaton, Lesser Invisibility Potion, Healing Potion.

Am I forgetting anything?

23, 44

8 lesser rock elementals here

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The drop rate for this quest is brutal.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

got my second drop on my third kill :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

not a fun quest. drop rate about 1 in 15 for me. good luck.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

killed over 100 of these guys, haven't even got 1 quest item.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

my partner, Cynner & i did this quest on 12/31/05 - we did one full round where we wiped out the lesser elementals first one way and then back the other - net quest stones: 2

took about a 1/2 hour break came back and started it again. better drop rate, about 1 stone to every 4-5 kills, we just swept back and forth killing them, went and sold when our inventories were full.

this first part is a real slow quest. will probably do the second part in the next day or two.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

damn, what a horrible low droprate. ;(

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This quest is another one of those quests that makes me sick. You stand on a small cliff edge and fight maybe 20 mobs that drop these items maybe 1/5 while you fight everyone else for the mobs....its stupid and retarded.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

arround 21,48

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I just killed 17 without a drop and then i got 4 in a row... i don't know what is going on with this quest.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I got a drop at about 1 in 4, didn't take too long, and they are right next to the quest giver. they are immune to nature spells

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I got 2850 XP for this at level 40, when the quest is green. There are no reputation changes for completion of this quest.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

ive gotten 1 every kill lol...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

If it wasn't for my Obsessive/Compulsive nature, I would've ditched this quest long ago.

Started @ Lv42, 144 total XP, 0 rest.

Current: Lv42, 23872 XP, 3 Stones dropped.

If I figure the XP gain average correctly, that's 177 XP per kill (approx) so…

23,872 total xp
-144 starting xp
————————
23,728 earned xp
÷177 ave xp per kill
————————
134 kills (±15 kills margin of error)

I believe this quest gets my vote for "F**K ME NOW quest of the year"

I'll edit this later once I finish.

27th one dropped the 1st, #30 dropped the 2nd... guess the quest isnt broken like i was beginnig to think

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just finished this quest as a `lvl 41 shaman. Location: 21,48. Got 50% drops for the first 4. Overall, I got a 40% drop rate (killed 25 for 10 total shards). Took me about 10-15 minutes to complete. I also wandered around a little while they respawned.

Be sure that you're going after the LESSER rock elementals, instead of just the rock elementals (other than the name, they look identical). The rock elementals will not drop the shards, which could be the problem that some are experiencing with a nonexistent drop rate(?).

Received 2850 experience when I turned in the quest. For me, the quest was well worth doing, but I also had a decent drop rate.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

hi! where can i find the questgiver (Lotwill Veriatus)? And where can i find the elementals? I just planning to go to Badlands now....

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The drop rate was horrible yesterday but I just got the last 7 I needed in no longer than 10 minutes. It wasn't very busy, so that helped. Try to go early or later than the rush I guess.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

the worst droprate ever, got my first at my 17th kill

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Finshed This Quest with LVL 44 Human Mage, Received:

Experience Gained: 1700

Leads to next quest...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Have killed about 50 of them atm. Zero stones. lots of crap and exp though :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Drop rates werent great, but I got 1 in about every 5. Mabye from the new update they got better?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Took me a while but I got 2850xp for this quest. Must have killed about 40 of the elementals

Commentaire de Allakhazam

YEEEEES at last....it took me 41 @#$%ing kills to get 10 shards.....worst drop rate ever!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Just to chime in on the drop rate, I solo'd this step, and it took me 36 kills to get the 10 drops.

It was worth it though, as they also drop lots of other stone type loot that ended up being decent vendor sells.

Edited, Sat Feb 19 11:25:31 2005

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Was able to get 10 in 36 kills as a 36th Paladin.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

i got my third drop on my fifth kill :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Made this in lvl 42. I think it will be easy. Killed near 70 "elementals". Very unusualy drop this stones. Too long quest. 3150 xp, no reputation.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

They must have tweaked the drop rate, 15 kills 10 Small stone shards.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

got my first drop on my second kill :)

Commentaire de SSJ5Gogetenks

You have not experienced suffering until you've experienced trying to do this quest on a Full Classic server with tens of people fighting for the spawns. Took me about 4 hours lmao.

Commentaire de Vorishgo

Abandon that quest at this time. Just a waste of time. At least 100% accurate for ally player.

Commentaire de TegoZanduba

This may seem frustrating with the low drop rate and high competition for the mobs and you think to yourself: "what do I get out of this?"

Well... eventually you will get you very first TRINKET! The Chouette chronomètre from Ça promet d'être dur which is locked behind this quest series and a couple other chains.

Now... is that 10 seconds of extra run speed once every 30 minutes worth it though? I can't answer that one for you.

Commentaire de flaggel

possibly bugged on classic got 4 to drop from lesser elementals after a hour so i dropped it, probably best to just skip this quest

Commentaire de ExocetRogue

Heads up, this quest took me over an hour drop rate is not great

Commentaire de Ishtar

Drop rate is about 8% for WoW Classic. There are not enough spawns to make up for the bad drop rate. You need 10 of these by the way. Everyone else is farming these for the same reason. Do not bother honestly.

Commentaire de QuickBASIC

Despite what other comments are saying, the drop rate is about 33%. These only drop off of Elémentaire de roche inférieur, but do not drop off of Elémentaire de roche in the same area.

This area is heavily farmed because the quest is needed in a chain for Chouette chronomètre, so be ready to fight for spawns from both Alliance and Horde or plan to come during off hours to do this quest.

Commentaire de QuickBASIC

To get Chouette chronomètre, you need to complete:

Un Gyro... quoi ? requires Gyrochronatome.
La tête froide l'emporte toujours requires Huile glaciale.
Étude des éléments : la roche by killing Elémentaire de roche inférieur for Petit éclat de pierre.
Étude des éléments : la roche by killing Elémentaire de roche for Grand bloc de pierre.
Étude des éléments : la roche by killing Elémentaire de roche supérieur for Brassards de Liaison de pierre.
This unlocks Grandes difficultés which leads to Ça promet d'être dur which awards Chouette chronomètre.

Keep in mind, the quest items drop off of specific mobs, so don't kill the other ones when you're doing each quest.

You can complete the other optional item turn in quests for Lucien Tosselwrench, but this is not necessary to complete the chain:

Pierre liquide requires Potion de soins and Potion d'Invisibilité inférieure.
Mieux est la pierre que le tissu requires Brassards guillochés en bronze.

Commentaire de zedwards

F this quest. Low drop rate, constantly farmed.

Commentaire de WDStudios

I did this at level 47, long after it had turned gray, and got 290 experience from it. Gray quests DO still give experience!

Commentaire de Zeress

The hardest part of this quest chain is that step 1 is constantly overcrowded due to drop rates, and step 2 is farmed by 60s for (non-quest) drops.

Commentaire de Greyvax

I had a difficult time completing this quest. Had some competition tagging mobs, but eventually got it done.

Commentaire de lillcheeze

BUG WARNING posted primarily for "Study of the elements: Rock" but also "Badlands reagent run".

This quest kinda sucks on its own with its combination of moderately low drop rate, limited amount of mobs and high contestion with other players.
For me the quest got bugged in the sense that the game believed that I completed the quest.
I had 7x Small Stone Shard (Study of the elements: Rock) and 3x Rock Elemental Shard (Badlands reagent run).
7+3 totals 10 shards (albeit different items for different quests), and the game seems to have believed that I completed the quest Study of the Elements: Rock which requires 10 shards.

Tip: If you stop getting quest drops while you have a sum of Small Stone Shard + Rock Elemental Shard that totals 10, then I advise you to abondon the quest and start over, painful as it is for this quest.

Ps. I verified the perceived completion bug by inviting another player with the quest, setting FFA loot and killing a bunch of mobs. I looted everything from the mobs first, but got no quest items. After i looted them, the other player was happy to receive several Small Stone Shard .

Commentaire de kishery

Few hints on this one, as i found this quest a bit terrible in terms of drop rates, but made the mistake of killing Rock Elementals, which do not drop the shards.

Drop Rate is not that bad, but in the area there are Rock Elementals and Lesser Rock Elementals. Only the later drop.
Lesser Rock Elementals can be primarily found close to the quest givers location.
Cave Area in the northwest can spawn Lesser Rock Elementals, but seem to primarily spawn Rock Elementals.

Focus on Lesser Rock Elementals and the quest is done rather quickly.

Étude des éléments : la roche

Trouver 10 Petits Eclats de Pierre et les porter à Lotwil Veriatus dans les Terres ingrates.

	Petit éclat de pierre (10)

Description

Ici, dans les Terres ingrates, mes travaux sur mon dernier projet, des entraves pour élémentaires, sont bloqués.

Si j’aboutis, elles permettront aux mages d'invoquer des élémentaires très puissants. Pour les finaliser, j'ai besoin de tester certains de mes nouveaux sorts offensifs sur quelques bidules que j'ai sous la main. Il me faut donc de petits éclats de pierre.

Ces éclats peuvent facilement être récupérés sur les élémentaires de roche inférieurs, à l'ouest d'ici. Pouvez-vous m'en apporter ?
