You have 2 hours to complete this quest, and any items that you test during the quest will expire in 2 hours as well. You can kill any of the basilisks/hyenas/scorpids in the area, and each kill will give you an untested item, which you have to test. Each item won't, however, give you an "acceptable result", and the piece will be destroyed. The quest is kinda a pain, but the exp and rep are nice.

The samples, both the untested and the acceptable ones, are actually 3 hours duration.

ok for those of us who have failed this quets becuase they spent to much time getting ganked by other players that have nothing better to do with there time.. how do i got about getting another field testing kit?? cuz when i abandoned the timed quest to restart it it destroyed my testing kit and now when i start the quest over i don't thave the means to test the sample any more

I finished this quest in 38 minutes as a 51 Hunter. I hunted mobs around Gadgetzan since they were 42-45 and quickly killed.

I also got 3 greens and a blue from these mobs.

Completed this in 53 minutes on a lvl 44 feral Druid. The trick I found was to concentrate on each creature needed at a time and collect 2-3 time as many Untested Samples as needed then test them all at once.

Dont do this quest before a restart. I had to abandon the quest and start over.

Very annoying quest. Most of the "accepatble" parts took between 3 and 5 tries. After 1 hour and 21 minutes I was done. If I wasn't grinding rep for UC I would not have done this quest but that is just me.

Freakin' lame. I have the quest, and in my quest log I read:

Time Remaining: 1 Hr 44 Mins
Acceptable Basilisk Sample: 0/8
Acceptable Hyena Sample: 0/8
Acceptable Scorpid Sample: 0/8
Field Testing Kit: 1/1 (Complete)

In other words, I *have* time left, and I *have* the Field Testing Kit. However, when I right-click an untested sample, it says "Requires Field Testing Kit". WTF?

I even checked the bank to make sure it wasn't in there (even though I knew it couldn't be, since I hadn't visited the bank since getting the quest). Nothing. It's just broken.

Just done on my lvl60 (as a way of getting UC rep) here's some numbers as they haven't been given above:

Hyena untested samples: 38 about 21% chance
Basilisk untested samples: 43 about 18% chance
Scorpid untested samples: 52 about 15% chance

If i had been the appropriate level i can imagine the timer could have run out by sheer luck :( Really wish i hadn't started it;as once you do you cannot stop - just watch that quest timer counting how long this one quest has taken

I wanted to abandon the quest because i had all the aceptable samples, and i just wanted to take the quests again and complete it now when i had the samples, but when i abandoned it destroyed all my "acceptable" samples!!!

What the fuck man? 3 hours of work?? thanks for shit Blizzard! you just lost another customer!

评论来自 Walfke

For this quest you require the Field Testing Kit obtained by a previous quest in UnderCity

If you abandon this quest you will need to accept it again and collect 10 water samples to get another power source. You may also need to go to undercity and purchase another field testing kit if you have already picked up and tested samples.

The mobs mainly populate the top half of Tanaris.
Three of the most common mobs that drop the Samples + Maps:

Glasshide Basilisk: 34%

Blisterpaw Hyena: 15%

Scorpid Tail Lasher: 21%

Patch 2.3: Quest now gives 5800 Experience.

评论来自 Porter

With 2.3's boost to quest xp boost, this is seems to be a 30-60 minute grind that is not really needed. Don't do this if you want to maintain your xp / hr.

Even considering the followup 12k quest xp for probably an hours worth of effort... you can do better.

评论来自 BlueDog

Just adding some numbers:

24 hyena (~33%)
21 scorpid (~38%)
15 basilisk (~53%)

59 minutes as a 44 rogue. Extremely low proc rate. Decent exp from the grinding, plus ~12k total from the quest and its UC turnin.

1 hour 22 mins as a holy priest. 5800 xp at lvl 42 as of patch 2.3.

评论来自 Aryan

With my level 50 warlock I just ran around and DOT'd every monster I saw and then picked up the item when I ran back that way. I was able to have the quest handed in within 58:30 minutes into the ordeal and I will still have to say it still wasn't really worth my time.

评论来自 jaschmidt22

I had 15 of the 24 necessary samples at 17 minutes into the quest (5 of each).

As a level 49 shadow priest taking minimal mana breaks, I was able to finish this quest in 34 minutes.

评论来自 118059

I found this quest well worth the effort.

Best if done on off peak hours and avoid the heavy traffic areas like the one between Gagdetzan and the instance or Gagdetzan and Steamwheel Port.

You get 12k xp, good gloves for a caster of the lvl, especially a loc, bout 4-6 bars of xp (mid 40s), and if your a skinner the scorpions give you scorpid scale rather frequently.

评论来自 116566

Took me about 45 minutes with a level 45 shadow priest =)

评论来自 102674

Bring a skinner. You'll be killing a lot of skinnables, it'd be a shame if you let it go to waste. I'd recommend bringing one even if you are a skinner, as you'll spend less time skinning and more time killing, as well as the added inventory space from not hauling all this leather around with you.

It's also a good idea to relax, 2 hours is plenty of time for this, unless you've got very, very, very bad luck.

评论来自 oogumboogum

DO NOT DO THIS QUEST this quest was so annoying i wanted to stop but after getting half way through i asnt about to quit all that time i spent. the rate for me was about 1/10 were good so about 10% i killed over 100 altogether and got 4 out of 8 of each, grinded about 5 bars and spent 1 1/2 hours to finish it. if u really have ohting better to do, like to grind than this is for you, i suggest not to do it. grrrrr i will never touch that again on anyone able to do it, its my promise!

Finished in 1 hour and 11 minutes as a lvl 40-41 holy priest Just a bunch of grinding.

评论来自 Toryn

As a lvl 52 Retribution paladin, this quest took me about 52 minutes with no competition for the mobs, not because it was hard, but because the acceptable sample proc rate is terrible.

I don't know if it's actually true, but it seemed that the slightly higher level mobs had a slightly higher chance to have acceptable samples. I did most of my hunting around the Abyssal Sands and it felt like I got the needed samples more often than from the mobs right around Gadgetzan.

5750 xp - not at all worth the time I put in.

评论来自 143766

this quest now gives 5800 xp

评论来自 141915

I did this as a lvl 51 fire mage, and it took me about 30 minutes. Wasn't as worth it for me, but if I had been around 45, which I think is the level the quest is designed for, it would have been much more worth it. I got pretty decent XP for the kills, and as a 40-something, the grinding would have been excellent. So I recommend doing this as a mid-high 40s. Good luck!

评论来自 Crangbor

Started this quest as a 43 warrior with a bar to go before leveling. 1 hour and 35 minutes later I had finally got my last acceptable sample. By this time I was 5 bars into 44 and very, very tired of nonstop smashing. With the drop rate I had, this is the

worst. quest. evar. And I've done most of them.

*edit*
Oh, I also learned that there are no rewards suitable for a warrior, but thats my own fault for not researching it.

评论来自 Thesteini

Advice on how to do this with most efficiency? One word: Don't.

I did it as a level 51 druid (don't ask why), and god, it took me 45 frickin' minutes. I killed the mobs in no time, but that made it even more annoying since I had to kill that many more mobs. In lower levels I don't know if I could have done it on time.

From my point of view there are two types of annoying quests. There are those that are simply annoying, and those that just make you depressed. This was one of those.

68 minutes as lvl 42 undead priest.

Got ganked twice and lost connection for 10 minutes >.>

so around 50 minutes it took me

评论来自 MoonLite

As lvl40-42 undead shadowpriest (yes, I dinged twice in that time >_<) , took me 111min 30sec.

Admittedly, I grew so bored with killing the same mobs over and over, halfway I took a break for 10min or so. boy what a mistake! the last basilisk took me about 30mins, both because suddenly the basilisks were very scarce, and the ones that I did find didn't get me an acceptable sample! the last 10 minutes were really starting to get me stressed!

I recommend NOT doing this quest, but if you really want to, be sure you can play and stay focused for 2 hours!

评论来自 147905

Ugh... Just finished this on my 43 Lock... Be prepared in advance to spend 30-45 minutes at the least doing this. The beasts you have to kill for the sample have ~100% chance of dropping an untested sample. The hard part is getting lucky with the acceptable samples, so expect to be killing quite a few mobs. On the plus side, even if the quest reward items are useless to you, the 1g30s reward is pretty decent for this level of quest.

评论来自 Jaspah

Did this as a level 52 Orc Shaman and finished it in about 50 minutes. The quest can be extremely frustrating depending on if you're lucky or not. I killed about 120 mobs with an extremely low success rate on the samples. Fortunately, I had skinning so it wasn't a total loss!

Worth it? Probably not.

评论来自 Footy

Solo'd as lvl 44 shaman, but it was terrible quest. I think the droprate was about 25-30% so i must kill about 100 mobs before i've done it. I spent over an hour travelling near gadgetzan and killing them.

Same here, did not give me a field testing kit. Farmed out 10 waterpouches to restart the quest and it still did not give me the testing kit.

评论来自 255991

Bugged for me as well, as of the 24th. Didn't receive the testing kit. My friend did receive it however, after I helped him get the water pouches to turn in, about 20 minutes after I had turned in the quest. *shrug*

评论来自 Grakkh

As others have said, it's not a bug if you don't get the testing kit from the goblin, since you get it from the previous part of the chain in Undercity. And need to get it from there again if you lose it.

That said, I'd suggest not wasting your time with this quest unless you are going for Loremaster, as the conversion ratios from untested to acceptable samples is ridiculous.

评论来自 yunusual

This quest counts for the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

评论来自 Farrar

Just completed in less that 60 mins on a lvl 40 disc priestie (never bothered with this quest on previous toons tbh)......
However wish I had, would strongly suggest doing this quest on rested, it's a TRUE grinding quest, can be heart breaking at times with 3/4 samples not qualifying however stick with it, rested bonus ~ 40 ish, should be about 580xp a mob...... Well worth doing imho!

NEVER EVER EVER do this quest! This seriously is the one of the stupidest quests in the whole freaking game! Just an example of how much this quest sucks, I killed at least twenty different creatures and got a sample off of each and maybe, MAYBE got two, I repeat TWO good samples off of them! And you need 24 total! I started doing it with an hour and a half left of my testing kit and I never finished it! I failed before I could! DO NOT waste your time with this quest! Because this quest is one of the biggest wastes of time in the whole freaking game!

评论来自 268186

This quest is totally luck of the draw since at level 45 i tried it and couldn't finish it the first time. I believe I had a TOTAL of 5 good samples. The second attempt was when I was 50 and in the area completeing some other quest and thought wtf. This time went a bit better. I didnt get a good sample until i hit my 30th and finally every other one tested was good.

It was a pain but well worth the hides

评论来自 358841

The drop rate is so terrible on this quest it made me superstitious. I started to think if i tested less than 6 samples in a row there was no chance it would give me a acceptable sample. Sadly, even this ritual proved to be unprofitable. While in the first half hour i collected over half the total samples. In the next half I was able to gather everything except six Basallisc samples. I had to take this quest down to the wire in order to finish in time. I finished with only 10 minutes remaining, and i was a lvl 48 Shaman, so i never paused to even drink water. Just straight killing from guy to guy. This quest sucks. No other words for it. I do not recommend, i feel like i got lucky to even complete it and could easily see others getting slightly less lucky and not even being able to complete it. NOT WORTH IT

评论来自 386867

Nothing like doing ths quest when the realm is like one hour to shutdown for maintenance, then killing everything like crazy and getting the last sample with two minutes left, then handing it and having only one minute left... talk about getting anxious.

Wish I had took a screenie.

评论来自 Kiwiblue

Duo'ed this quest with a prot pally/disc priest team that was in the mid 40s. Took about an hour to complete in this configuration. After reading other posts expect to take about this amount of time regardless of level or group make up. The time killer here is the low rate of getting acceptable samples. We did end up having to change the loot to free for all as once we started getting completes we were still able to pick up samples that the other needed and unfortunately they are soulbound. Might be a consideration if your thinking of pugging.

We each picked up about 2/3 a level from killing and that was unrested. This is definitely a quest where you want to have at least half a level of rested experience. We were both of the opinion after it was all said and done that we would have been better skipping this quest and moving even moving on to a different zone as spending an hour just killing things for one quest turns less experience than killing things for an hour to complete five to ten quests does. The only saving grace to this is the next quest does give 7200 exp just for a quick trip to Undercity that most will do anyways within the next couple levels.

Did this at 80 for the Loremaster achievment. Actually took less than 20 min to complete this quest from start to turn in. Guess I was lucky.

评论来自 QFred

Did it today, 25th Nov 09, and the drop rate ain't that much bad. Got the hyena 8/20, the scorpids 8/25 and the basilisks 8/18, so not much bad. Done in 34 minutes which includes going UC to buy Kit, portal Blasted Lands, fly Shatt, portal TB and then taxi Gadgetzan.

评论来自 Stapler

They apparently have changed this quest in patch 3.3 to only need 3 samples total, one from each kind. All I had to do was kill one scorpid, one basilisk, and one hyena and I was done!

评论来自 204429

Looks like this quest has been simplified a lot. The text remains the same, however, I only needed to collect 1 of each untested sample. The scorpid and hyena samples cannot even be tested anymore, though the basilisk sample still can (I used it once, and it was destroyed). Seems a bit buggy, but definitely not as stupidly hard as before. Just kill one of each mob, grab the samples, and roll back to Gadgetzan to get them sealed up.

评论来自 38749

I remember this quest being a pain in the @$$. This time around, it was so easy I thought I must have been mistaken.

They must have changed the quest, because now you don't even have to test the samples. Collect one untested sample from each of the animals (was 100% drop rate for me), and then turn in.

Done.

Finished the quest in less than 2 minutes.

评论来自 495281

The quest text hasn't been updated but the quest has been.
Now you only need to kill 1 scorpid, 1 hyena and 1 basilisk, 100% drop and no need for 8 of each anymore. Did it in under 2 minutes, also counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor.
Super easy these days...

评论来自 Moppentoff

Beat to it. With only one item of each needed, and a 100% drop rate, this quest suddenly becomes a lot easier.

评论来自 51402

This quest now requires ONE of each of the UNTESTED samples, which makes this quest retarded easy. Activate the kit, kill a scorpid, basilisk, and hyena, and turn the quest in. Done in ten seconds.

评论来自 423314

Just did this quest today on an alt, and evidently it has changed. While the quest text still says to collect samples for 8 of each mob, the requirements showed you only needed one for each. They dropped from the first mobs I killed, although I don't know if it will always be 100% drop rate. You don't need to test them anymore either, as I remember doing a long time ago. Also, there was no timer that I saw. The follow-up quest is the same. Looks like Blizz gave in once again to those who qq enough.....kind of disappointing.

评论来自 holland

As of 3.3 the quest has been updated. You are supplied the Field Testing Kit instead of buying it from Undercity (You still pick up the quest in UC obviously). When you get to Tanaris you need to bring 5 Wastwandering Pouches to the goblin for the power source.

Only 1 sample of each and no failure. As of 3.3 the quest text was not updated, but it only requires one of each sample to bring back to the engineer though it still states eight are required.

评论来自 Thottbot

This had to be the most nerve wracking quest I have done. It is not hard, but if something goes wrong (gankers, server crash, client crash) two hours could be down the drain. That said, I did this as a 50 Orc Warlock. I started off down south in Thistleshrub (on a whim). I found that there is no significant difference in 'acceptable sample' rates for mobs 44-50, but below 44 I got no acceptable samples (might be level related). The best balance of 'acceptable sample' rates to killing ease were the level 44 scorpids, level 45 hyenas, and level 46 basilisks. For those on high population servers, do this at off-peak hours or two hours might get shot due to gankers. Good luck!

评论来自 Thottbot

It took me exactly 40 minutes, total. The first 10 of which I spent east of Gadgetstan with maybe a 1 in 5 success rate, the rest I went due south and had a 1/2 to 2/3 success rate. It could have been luck, but it definitely appeared that the higher level mobs had better success. Plus I levelled while doing it - probably got 20,000xp (had rested bonus) just killing the mobs. So it was a good quest!

评论来自 Thottbot

^ there is a bank in gadgetzan...

评论来自 Thottbot

How do you even start this quest? I'm a 46 druid.

评论来自 Thottbot

I did this solo with a lvl 40 Shaman....its VERY easy. I killed all of the things East of Gadgetzan (lvl 40-42). At first, it sucks the big one, and you don't seem to get any acceptable samples. After about 20-30 minutes, however, they start coming a lot easier. I even Hearthed back to Org (to buy an item on AH that I desperately needed) and flew back to Gadgetzan, and still managed to complete the quest with 21 minutes to spare. Set yourself at this : 6 Acceptable samples every 30 minutes. Since there are 3 types of samples needed, and you need 8 of each, it works out perfectly. That way you dont get frustrated when you get 2 acceptable out of 10 samples, because, hey, you still have 15 minutes left to get 4 more. Makes it a LOT less nerve-wracking, and you will find that the time flies by.

评论来自 Thottbot

From my experience, you'll probably need around 25-30 untested samples to get the 8 you need.

I used the above strategy (gather, test at the end) as a precaution, but was able to complete the quest in an hour.

评论来自 Thottbot

47 hunter
Accepted quest, realized i no longer had the test kit, musta discarded it when i was clearing out old quests.

Flew to Org, Zep to UC, bought new test kit. HS back to Tanaris and started killing.

At this point I had already used up 20 minutes of the time.

The further south I went, (higher level mobs) thebetter success I had in getting "acceptable" drops. Of course YMMV.

Meanwhile, I'm loading up on meat for my pet and leather and scorpid scale for my profession.

It took about 35 minutes to get 8/8 of each of the 'acceptable' items required. I spent another 30 minutes just grinding on scropid dunestalkers to get plenty of scorpid scale since I was down south Tanaris anyway.

Good quest for my character.

评论来自 Thottbot

I don't understand all the bad mouthing of this quest... over 9000 exp for completing it, plus a couple of gold and lots of sellable junk. The quest is even better for skinners/leatherworkers because it provides all kinds of hides to sell on AH or use .

As for the time involved I completed the field testing portion as a lvl 49 Shamin (by myself) in 1 hr 05 min . The advantage of doing it at higher lvl is that you can kill quicker and fewer alli will bother with you in the process.

All in all far from the worst quest blizzard created.

评论来自 Thottbot

This quest was very easy did it on 41 mins...lvl 43 druid...skinner; so i got mutch leather and hides^^.
By the way! feral spec owns on druid!

评论来自 Thottbot

You can get lots of xp and items if you do the other Wastewander quests at the same time.

I started with heading east from Gadgetzan. Killed all needed mobs on my way to the ruins, then headed south.When reaching the Wastewander area, I grinded for approxamitely 20 min, for those water pouches. Got all I needed, then headed west. Killed all needed mobs again, then heading southwest. When I reached the Noxious Lair,head straight south,and I got the basilisk samples in maybe 15 minutes. I went the same way back,that would say north side-to-side with the Noxious Lair.But instead of heading towards the Wastewanders,I continued north to Sandsorrow Watch. From there, heading to Gadgetzan I got the rest I needed.

I also noticed that the droprate got higher the more south I came. Maybe higher-lvl have higher droprate?

Hope this will be of help!

评论来自 Thottbot

Well I've abandoned this quest because I had 7/8 of each item and suddenly they disappeared from my inventory. I don't know if this is supposed to happen after a certain time but it was extremely frustrating. I spend two hours killing stuff, getting a 15 to 1 acceptable rate and have the stuff disappear. This is definately not one of the better quests Blizzard developed. Its not worth the time and aggravation. I recommend y'all avoid it.

评论来自 Thottbot

Just did this quest with my lvl 41 shaman. It took 1h 30min and I wasted some time to skin all mobs I killed. I kept no other breaks than mana breaks.

The rate in which the untested samples turned to accepted samples was frustrating, maybe 1 out of 6 was accepted. Maybe even less.

I mostly just ran around the little mountain south of Gadgetzan and tried to avoid mobs that were unrelated to the quest (Rocs).

I would recommend getting a friend to keep mana/health recovery time at minimum between mobs.

评论来自 Thottbot

34 minutes.

I was level 53 though, so the individual kills didn't take up much time.

Good luck.

评论来自 Thottbot

I finished this quest while simultaneously watching television on my @#$%^&* alt with an hour and 20 minutes to spare. The trick is to head south of Tanaris and kill the things that are higher level. Got 4k experience for turning it in to biggleslap or whatever his name is and then another 5k experience for taking the samples back to UC. UC was on my hearth, so yay4me.

This quest is quick, easy, and simply off the charts in terms of EXP/Time relative to other quests. I can't imagine the frustration of doing this quest on a PvP server, however.

评论来自 Thottbot

As a level 43 BM specced hunter, I easily got all the samples required in less than an hour, and only farmed the lower level creatures west and southwest of Gadgetzan. I just had to rely on riding my kodo and using Track Beasts to see what mobs were close by - tracking makes drop quests easier in general.

The only problem was that after getting all the samples, I didn't read the quest and hearthed back to Org, thinking that I had to deliver everything directly to UC. So I wasted a hearthstone cooldown and some flight money getting to and from Org back to Gadgetzan, but that was the only problem. Plus, the final reward upon returning to UC was nice (1+ gold and a vendable armour piece).

I had gotten the field testing kit earlier from a quest from UC. In the middle of Tanaris Field Sampling, I had to log. Next day, I log on and of course I have failed the quest. So I abandon the quest, and as well as deleting all my acceptable samples, it deletes my field testing kit as well. "Okay," I thought, "if it took away my FTK, I'm sure it'll give me another one when I accept this quest again." Wrong. After getting 10 wastewander water pouches this time (last time was 5), I got myself another power kit and started the quest again. No FTK was given to me. Malarkey!

评论来自 Thottbot

One thing that confused me about this quest was the disappearnce of unsuccessful samples, I expected them to appear in my bag labelled perhaps as inadequate, discarded or unacceptable samples. So don't waste time like I did wondering where the hell your samples had gone to, if they're not successful they'll just diappear and that's that.

In regards to the drops, I found that down in Thistlerub Valley there was a much better success rate, I sometimes even found 2 consecutive successful drops. Although saying that, the Scorpids I found mostly nearer Gadgetzan even after going to Thistlerub Valley.

I started this quest as a level 46 Shadow Priest with 27k of xp needed for the next level . I finished it 15k of xp into level 47, so including the xp for handing in the quest at both Gadgetzan and UC I gathered well over 40k from this quest, so I would say it's definitely worth the time. I soloed it in an hour and a half.

It is possible to gather samples even if u don't have the testingkit, but the powerstone
or vice versa, so gather samples then activate the source, test it and gather the remaining if u have any.

Note if u abbandon ur quest the testingkit will be destroyed, so you know it, it happened to me.

评论来自 Thottbot

OK here what happen ya get the quest off him he give you "powerstone" if ya look at it but dont accept it will say ya cannot accept this quest already have....But its not true to fix this turn off all addons go back in game look in quest log and abandon all failed quests...mainly Bugs with quest "tooga"
If ya abandon the quest ya gotta get 10 waters and this quest take around 40mins-1hr to do make sure ya prepared (i wasn't was about to go out and had to recollect water)

Just done this quest and would like to let everyone who doesn't like the time limit know that you have more than enough time. I skinned each mob after killing it, spent forever looking around for mobs and still finished with 1 hr 2 mins to spare. If you want to save some time here's a few tips I picked up to save a few seconds here and there:

1. Put the untested samples onto your action bar, it'll save you from opening your bags and searching through them each time.

2. Don't stop and check each sample every time you get one, get a few of them and then when you need to heal some hp, test them then and by the time you've tested them you'll be healed up enough to go again.

3. I found that the area just south of Gadgetzan was great for farming. It had plenty of scorpids, loads of basilisks (they can usually be found around the rocky areas) and just a bit further south at the dinosaur skeleton or whatever that is there are a whole bunch of hyenas.

4. I've only done this quest once so I don't know what it's like for everyone else but I found that the acceptable hyena samples were hardest to come across. With 1 hr 20 mins left I had all the basilisk and scorpid samples I needed but still wasn't even halfway with the hyenas. Take this into consideration if you're running low on time and are having to choose between a scorpid and a hyena for example.

5. Try not to loot all the vendor trash if you can avoid it. Chances are you'll run out of space and you won't want to risk going back to Gadgetzan to sell it. This wastes time because you just loot more things just to end up throwing them away.

Hope this helps, most of you won't need it since 2 hrs is plenty of time to get the samples needed. As much as this quest sucks, it gave me around 12-14k exp in an hour which isn't too bad imo. Good luck to ya all, happy hunting.

This is my second time doing this quest, but the first time that i have lost the field sampling kit..dont waste your time abandoning the quest and gathering the wastewander waters, it doesn't work.

You have to buy the FTK from a guy in UC, located at 58.50 blue moon odds & ends

Took me forever to find...So i hope this helps.

I found the Abyssal Sands, South of Gadgetzan, had plenty of good Scorpid testing supplies. It took me an hour to do this quest with a very crappy drop rate.

评论来自 Thottbot

I just spent my afternoon on this frustrating quest.
(43 balance druid with good gear)
I followed the advice above and went south-south east. When I found mobs, I then activated the timer/accepted quest and started hacking, stoping after about each batch of 10 kills to test the samples - found it took 10 to 16 kills to get one sample. As this was too slow I rode further south and west (killing as I went)and tried some higher levels (48's) just killed 3 of them but got no samples so moved away as they were agroing in groups therefore killing me (the combo of time wasted running back to my body and damage cost made this less than worthwile).
Circled back up killing as i went and continuing to check samples in groups (didn't need to hunt in my bags as i filled up my key bags, so all samples went into the same open bag when i shift clicked on the kills). With an hour left to go I had 13 of the 24 samples. The drop rate picked up for about 20 mins to 2 out of each batch but I still needed one more Baslisk with 12 min to go so I rode from group to group and killed around 9 of them without any luck. Kept going till the very end - rode closer to the town in case I got one, until the last one I killed died and gave up the final sample just as the timer ran out.
The Hyena and Scorpid samples "disapeared" and I could not turn in the quest.
What an imense waste of time.

To those who go "it's easy" it seems to be just a matter of luck not skill. I thought i might be just me as I only have his lvl 43 but I talked to a friend who has a couple of 70's and said he'd never bothered finishing this quest after a couple of tries as it is too frustrating.

This is a good quest to remind yo that real life is more fulfilling and that WOW can be just a waste of time - a real turn off.

Around 43,50 - lots of 47/48 hyenas that gave me acceptable samples and xp. Around them are ~48 basilisks that also drop good samples.

评论来自 Thottbot

I just completed this quest and I can certainly understand everyone frustrations with it. I'm a 57 warlock and I was doing this quest for Undercity rep. I completed this quest in about 1 hour and 10 minutes. I was mowing them down very fast so I killed very many -- if I was in my mid-40s trying to do this quest I don't know if I would have made it. It would have been very close.

I did notice a pattern perhaps. The drop rate seemed to increase when I focused on one beast. After getting all of the basilisks, then I turned to hyenas, etc. Perhaps it was my imagination or just coincidence, but it might be worth a shot for anyone trying this quest. Out all all three, the scorpids were the worst -- I probably killed as many scorpids as I did basilisks and hyenas combined.

Also a little good news: I had 6 green items drop during this quest so that definitely helps take some of the sting off.

Good luck!

Definatly got nerve racking in the second hour. Had 18 minutes to spare but didn't really get the jist of it down till after the first 15 min plus I hit a lucky streak, then decided to melee more to get my sword and dagger skills up, added about 5-7 clicks to each :D

This is a great quest for hunters and LW's, I did it as a 48 and also had the luxury of track beasts. I you have a hunter friend, bring him a long.

Like a few said organization will shave alot of time. Instead of messing with my action bars I kept up the on bag I knew everything would fall into and worked out of it. Puppies were the easiest, the scorpids had the lowest drop rate. I thought that travelling farther south to kill higher lvl's would help but I got the last 3 right around Gadgetzan.

Between all the leather, a few green drops and food drops, the bag got pretty full and I would have to delete the junk drops just to get sample and leather.

45-60 minutes is about right if you prepare and leave room in inventory. 1.3 gold and rep is nice, but a cape with +1 intel and 10+ spirit :-P, not a great reward for a mail wearer.

Good Luck :-D

so i had to hurry to undercity to get a new one and hurry back to gadget before the timer ran out
So this is not a cool quest :(

THIS QUEST IS A BIIIG WASTE OF TIME

评论来自 Allakhazam

Completed in 1 hr 45 min.

The "Acceptable Samples" are Quest Items, and thus not tradeable. I was planning on skipping the quest entirely when a guildie started it and was on his way collecting. He (shaman) finished in 1 hr 35 min. I blame my lack of AoE to round up mobs and blast them to cut thru the time for this quest.

My results at lv 45:

You gain 5900 experience.
Your reputation with Undercity has greatly increased.

omw to Honored status, and hopefully an undead horse!

THIS QUEST HAS A TIMER. 90 mins?
THERE ARE NO FOLLOW UP QUESTS.

If you start this quest using the Model 4711-FTZ Power Source, that you obtain from completing ( Another Power Source?) and don't have the field testing kit Quit now while your ahead. You will have to run to the UC and buy another field testing kit, chances are you wont finish it before the timer resolves, and hence you will have to redo ( Another Power Source?) to acquire another Model 4711-FTZ Power Source to start the quest over.

GOOD LUCK...

SKIP THIS ONE. unless you need the rep. The 4k xp isint worth the hours time.

评论来自 Allakhazam

At first I was a bit disheartened with the success rate of the samples being only around 25%, but its not so bad when you find a bundle of mobs.

The Basilisks were pretty abundant west/southwest of Gadgetzan, and the Hyenas were almost a permaspawn around the big skeleton on the hill in the Abyssal Sands southwest of Gadgetzan. The Scorpids were a bit tougher to gather samples from since everywhere I went they seemed to be sparse, but I got enough around the Abyssal Sands area.

All in all it took me about 75 minutes of non-stop searching and grinding. Nice experience and reward at lvl 44, no to mention the experience gained from the mobs.

took me 42 minutes. i tried to kill all the ones i needed at that time, and it seemed to work better. i started out with 0 basalisk, 1 hyena, 2 scorpid, so i collected until i had all the untested samples i needed, finished with 6/7/6

As a 50 shaman, took me one hour and 30 seconds.

annoying as heck, imo.

not too bad...

i only noticed a slight difference in acceptable samples as the lvls got higher

Took me 54 minutes, gained total of 11,442 exp, and 1.8 gold. not bad for an hour of running. I did notice the acceptable samples of hyena came from where the ROCS were. Each acceptable sample had a roc less than 50 yards away

评论来自 Allakhazam

I spent an hour doing this quest and i'm still half way to get all the samples.
I killed quite fast as at 50 and still not done. Wish i didnt spend and hour on this already or would definitely abandon it.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Just finished it. 40 minutes at level 47. The rates of accepted samples are the same from all the species in my experience. A tad boring and annoying, but not that horrid.

评论来自 Allakhazam

The only thing this quest does is find out how lucky you are at getting the good samples. Otherwise it's just a slight reward for griding for two hours. After an hour of working on this quest, I only had 6 usable samples; 5 scorpid and 1 basilisk. If I were going to grind like that for a while, I'd do it somewhere else where I'd get better drops. The only way I could see this being worth it is for a skinner, who could skin things normally and get better drops somewhere else too. Bottom line, don't waste your time. Plus there will always be some cocky night elves around to make sure you spend half of your time in Tanaris dead.

Took me 1 hr 20+ mins to get this done. Can be frustrating to get this quest done, because while every mob you kill drops an "untested" sample, not every such sample that you right-click to test, turns into an "acceptable" sample. But you'll get there. :)

评论来自 Allakhazam

an hour or so was worth an Icemail Jerkin

This really wasn't that bad. It took me 40 minutes and as I'm a skinner/ LWer, it was well worth doing.

First quest I can remember where I said to hell with it, destroyed the kit, and abandoned the quest. It was good for about 4/8 samples on each and then a GODDAMN HOUR with no viable samples.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I solo'd as LVL 41 Orc Hunter, took me less then 90 mins and all within sight of Gadgetzan. Drop rate was about same for all. Just takes time, more difficult in a group as have to share drops.

评论来自 Allakhazam

just completed this quest as a 49 shaman.

Went for the lvl 47+ mobs and found that the conversion of untested to acceptable findings were about 1:5.

Got the quest done in an hour flat. Only issues I had were the Fire rocs and whatnot that would wander onto me while fighting. other then that pretty smooth sailing.

评论来自 Allakhazam

47,40 has lots of basiliks and scorpids in the general area. The hyenas were the easiest for me.

For the hyenas, look for the giant rib cage like structures with the Rocs. Then work your way up from one end to the other up the middle of the rib cage (lengthwise). The roc's won't bother you and you can get your quota quickly.

Success rate for sampling was pretty good. Maybe 1:3 or so. I stuck to mobs 45+ as much as possible.

Did this in 45 minutes with a 46 Shadow Priest. PKs in the area generally let each other alone.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Not only are you limited to 2 hours, but if you log out your clock keeps running. So I had to go get 10 more water pouches for a new power supply.

But there's a plus side here. As long as the original quest is in your log, while you're hunting the pouches the Scorpids, Basilisks, and Hyenas still give un-tested samples! Since the timer doesn't start until you attach the power supply, accumulate a bunch of untested samples BEFORE you get the power supply. Once you power up, immediately test the samples you've already got, and you'll be about half way to your goal. I did the second round in about an hour at lvl 42.

Suggestions:

Don't start the kit up till your in the southern Abyssal Sands.

Aim for 47+ (45 for Basilisk) it goes 1:10 to about about 1:4 drop rate.
Glasshide Gazers, Rabid Blisterpaw, & Scorpid Dunestalkers I had almost a 1:1 acceptable.

Watch out for Land Rager Elemental's will broadside you randomly.

评论来自 Allakhazam

This quest was the bane of my existance for 2 hours, I started this quest lvl 44 and after trying to return all 24 "Untested Samples" I realised I needed to test them, half an hour of work turned into 5 acceptable samples.

My computer froze in the last half hour, and after restarting my computer and re-logging, I realised that my quest timer HAD NOT STOPPED.

When I returned the quest at Gadgetzan, I had 40 seconds left on my timer, and if Ihad missed it, I would have screamed.

I might add that I leveled half way through the quest which may be the only reason I returned it on time

In total, I received 60 000 xp for this quest, 9 000 for the returns, the other 51 000 from killing mobs for 2 hours

Only took about 45 minutes as a lvl 53 priest - I wish I'd discovered this quest sooner as it would've been great for exp a few levels ago! I'll remember it for the next Horde character I level up... and next time I'll also try and remember the quest needs to be handed in at Gadgetzan not Undercity, which I only noticed after I'd already got on the windrider to Org. Oops.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I tried to do it as a group to make it a little easier, but at 44 with a 42 tagging along, I found that it takes too long to kill all the samples you need for both. I had 1 minute left by the time I turned it in. My teammate failed it because the time ran out. I had to turn the loot type to Free For All just so I could test every sample of scorpid. We had everything else but tracking down a good scorpid spot was hard.

评论来自 Allakhazam

This wasn't so bad, just requires a lot of grinding. Took me about an hour to complete. Just go south from gadgetzan killing everything along the way :)

评论来自 Allakhazam

43 hunter - soloed this quest, took me about 45 mins to complete it and that included selling at merchants twice. Just worked my way south of town, then southeast towards the coast, came up the coast to Steamweld port (sold there) then down west back to Gadgetzan. Killed any critters I could find, successful sample is totally random and I did NOT see any difference in success rate from the lower level critters to the higher level ones.

评论来自 Allakhazam

It took me an hour and a half to complete the quest. I foudn the hyenas yeilded better drops for acceptable samples, with the basilisks coming up second and the scorpids third. There is plenty of time to do this quest, you just have to be willing to commit the time to finish since it is timed and you can't get up to eat something (unless it is quick) and sign off because it is timed.

I found hyenas in plenty around the huge carcasses, the basilisks around the rock mounds, and the scorpids in the desert between. The Abyssal Sands was full of the lower levels in all three varieties (in case you attempt at a level in the low 40's) while the areas furhter south yeilded higher level monsters.

I solo'd as a level 43 (gained level 44 half way) mage.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Do NOT log out of the game even for 5 seconds while doing the testing. It instantly gives you a fail no matter what your timer was set at. =/

Edit: The quest is FLAGGED as <Failed> but it seems you can still continue on with it AND complete it.. Odd but it saves having to go hunting to get another power source.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Do not do this quest. Period.

This is far and away the worst experience I've had in World of Warcraft, and I'm working on my 4th 60. The conversion rate from untested to acceptable is less than 10%. Which, if it was exactly 10%, would be 240 monsters.

So unless you want to grind for crappy rewards and a handful of experience, don't bother. Whoever made this quest should be shot in the temple.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Has anyone seen this quest as a bugged quest? I completed it no problems and a friend had it but it wouldn't hand in. He had the powersource, got all the samples, tested them all, but couldn't hand in. He had no timer although on my quest log he was on that quest. Weird.

This one only took me an hour as a level 48 hunter. The basilisks were the ones that took the longest, but it was pretty easy over all.

appearently the higher level mob you kill the higher chance for
46+ mobs where about 90% chance of being acceptable

评论来自 Allakhazam

You get 2 hours for this quest. I thought that was going to be plenty of time until I saw how horrid the drop rate for the Basilisk and Scorpid samples were. The Hyena samples were no problem. The other ones were sometimes 1 in 20 before they dropped. When I say drop I mean after you right-click on the "untested" sample you get a "good sample". What happens is that every one of the mobs you kill will drop a sample that you then have to right-click to "test". This is where the pitiful drop rate comes in for the Basilisk and Scopid samples. I did non-stop killing of the needed mobs and I only had 20 mins to spare. So don't mess around and start killing from the getgo.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Just soloed this as a level 40 druid with about 25 minutes to spare. Just be quick, do it at night, and you should be okay.

The drop rate for "acceptable" samples on this quest is abysmal, it's a complete waste of time. I spent nearly 6 hours, tried to do it twice, in the end it wouldn't work at all for me.

How to use the testing kit? You don't. Don't try clicking the kit itself, but click the samples. Yes it makes perfect sense that the samples test themselves.

Regarding the quest itself, well just as I was about to scream from the top of my lungs, jumping on the chair, hitting the wall with my fists, I got the last sample.

XP's ok so if you've got nothing else to do, wanna kill 1.5 hours and already are in Tanaris... sure... why the hell not?

I did this quest at level 53. I had skipped it before and was bored one day and decided to go back and complete it. Killing nothing but green and grey creatures, it took me a solid hour to get all of the acceptable samples. I obliterated the Tanaris desert - killing everything in sight and testing each sample as I got it. The conversion rate from "untested" to "acceptable" is absolutely miserable. For a level-appropriate person performing this quest, you WILL need the two hours for non-stop killing. The rewards for this quest after you go back to the Undercity to complete is barely worthwhile - and only if you're of the level where the quest is still yellow to you.

If you're a skinner, this might be a good quest for you, though, as everything you kill you can skin - including scorpids for scales.

I would think hard before deciding to invest the two hours into this quest. It very well might not be worth it to you.

评论来自 Allakhazam

It took me a little over an hour on my level 40 Rogue. I only ran into one Alliance that wanted to fight...but he was talked out of it thanks to my 2nd account. ^_^ The easiest one to get was the Scorpid and the hardest was the 6Legged Crocodile. Didn't really care about the exp or the rewards...just did it for the UC rep. ♥

评论来自 Allakhazam

My 49 shammy did it in 56 minutes. The trick is to south until the mobs hit the higher levels. If you do it in the north the drop rate is terrible. Down south where the mobs are 45-47 the rate for a good sample is about one 1 in 3. Wait till your a little higher so there is no need to stress about the 2 hour time limit.

Should note this was way easier for my shammy after the new patch because now I dual weild. :)

OMFG! im never ever gonna do this bloody quest again....

评论来自 paperbanjo

Don't delete any of the untested samples while you are doing this quest. Doing so will delete all related quest items and abandon the quest. I was finished with the hyena samples before the others, so I figured I would free up a bag slot by deleting the untested hyena samples.. this was a mistake. I was 2/3 of the way done with the quest.. not worth my time to get a new Field Testing Kit and start over.

评论来自 DMuhny

STOP!

Do not start this quest if you can not complete it before logging out. Once you start this quest, you have a 2 hour timer to complete this quest within.

The timer persists while logged off.

If you fail the quest due to logging off, you will need to collect 10 more Wastwander Water Pouch to begin Another Power Source?. After completing Another Power Source, you will receive Model 4711-FTZ Power Source which gives you the Tanaris Field Sampling quest again. You will also need another Field Testing Kit which will not be provided to you this time. To get a new kit, you will need to visit Alessandro Luca in the Undercity (The Apothecarium) and purchase the kit for ~11 silver.

TL;DR - Make sure you are ready to do this quest before starting it. It is a lot of work to restart.

If you abandon this quest by deleting one of the quest items by mistake (which is what I did), you will need to speak with 首席工程师沙克斯·比格维兹 to pick up the quest 另一个能量源？ which requires you to collect 10 more Wastwander Water Pouch. After completing Another Power Source, you will receive Model 4711-FTZ Power Source which gives you the Tanaris Field Sampling quest again. You will have to buy another 野外实验工具包 from 奥雷萨多·卢卡 in Undercity at the outer circle of the Apothecarium. It was 10s for me. I hope this information helps.

TL:DR - If you abandon this quest you have to do the quest 另一个能量源？ over again which then allows you to pick up this quest.

Did this in 47mins as 44lvl swordspec rogue. Pretty easy q. Some free exp, over 3gold of trash items, one green and some skins(skinning).

评论来自 BigDanT

So I received this quest, and then did one other quest before starting this one. DO NOT DO THAT. I kill things at a fairly quick rate as a 48 Warrior, but I was stressed for time. My success rate for finding "Acceptable Samples" was about 1 in 10. I ended up having to kill around 250 mobs to complete this, which with a 2 hour timer had me nervous I would fail.

For me, Basilisks had the worst success rate, probably closer to 1 in 15. I would also recommend not killing the rabid hyenas in the south especially if you're melee, because they give you rabies. Rabies halves your health regen which applies to food for some reason, and it lowers your Strength and Agility by a fair amount. Rabies also lasts for 10 mins.

All that being said, I netted quite a bit of gold and 2 14 slot bags. If you're a skinner everything is skinnable. And the best thing is the xp, you get lots of it! Hope this helps somebody.

Like many others, I did not read the fine print when I accepted this quest the first time and dropped it because I didn't have time for a timed quest at that moment. So, when I picked it up a second time later, I did need to go to UC to get the field testing kit needed. Fortunately, this was on a mage so that part was easier done than for other classes.

As an experiment (science!), I killed 15 of each kind of mob and tested all 45 "untested" samples, with the following results:

basilisk samples = received all 8 "acceptable" samples from 15 exactly
hyena samples = received 6 "acceptable" samples
scorpion samples = received 4 "acceptable" samples

Took 2 more hyenas and 12 more scorpions to get the remaining "acceptable" samples. So grand total was 15 basilisks, 17 hyenas and 27 scorpions. Even with the (albeit mage) travel to UC and back, was done in well under an hour.

Focused on this quest and had 1 Hr 17 Mins left by time I got all the samples.

This quest is absolute garbage. On a high populated server (something like 10:1 ally:horde ratio, as usual) I spent all 2 hours trying to get kills, 5-7 in the morning. But even then there were so many other people doing this....I ended up with 21 basilisk, 26 hyena and 23 scorpids - and testing them GAVE ME 3 BASILISK, 0 HYENA AND 1 SCORPID! WTF IS THIS?

Blizzard you can take this piece of quest and bury it in the sea, along with all the other "hurr-durr we only put low drop rates in our quests becauses we are imbeciles" crap you have done during the years in this game....! >:(

This quest sucks! Took me about an hour on a lvl 48 warlock and I nearly ground out an entire lvl killing all the mobs required. I'd dot and run about 6 mobs at a time, maybe netting 1 good sample, which was more the exception than the rule. I put all the untested samples on my bars, so I could test them as soon as I was done looting, to avoid killing one single mob more than I had to.

I know this is very late in Phase 6, but a few tips that really helped get this done relatively quickly.

I was a level 51 Fire Mage. This allowed for fast kills.
I made sure that I had world buffs and consumables to help (used 火力药剂, 奥法药剂, 屠龙者的咆哮, 塞格的黑暗塔罗牌：伤害 and 赞达拉之魂)
From my experience, I found it was much quicker getting "Acceptable" samples from mobs that were in the deep south of Tanaris. Don't waste time killing the lower level mobs near Gadgetzan.

I had all my hyena and basilisk samples done before I got my first scorpid. This is what led me to head deeper south for higher level scorpids. Completed the scorpid portion very quickly after the change in tactic. Being level 51 and buffed definitely helped.

Don't bother doing this quest, went through a stack of 30 samples and only 2 of them were acceptable, wasted an hour of my life, I just abandoned this idiotic quest

评论来自 cleiver

terrible convertion (or whatever it is) rate. got more than 100 untested samples and couldn't get all accaptable samples

I seemed to have a 1 in 3 success rate between Gadgetzan and Sandsorrow Watch to the west.
To the Southeast, I seemed to have more success when testing a Hyena before either of the others.

Also, the 3 mods appear to share spawn points around Gadgetzan, so kill one type to get the other types to respawn.

Remember that this is a timed quest. You have 2 hours to complete it and 1 hour on your acceptable samples.

Also any extra samples will disappear in time : up to 1 hour for acceptable samples and 2 hours for untested samples. You can delete any extra of both when you have handed in the quest.

Did that quest as a 47 disco priest, and finished it under an hour.
Grinding the mobs south of Gadgetzan (pretty much green) filled 25% of my xp bar, which is huge. Plus the end xp on both quest, and a flat total of 2g on trash to vendor, it's a decent quest. - Put aside that grinding can be really frustrating on these samples.

A little tip: although it's completely doable within the time limit, if you wanna minmax or if you feel unlucky (or both) drag each of the sample on your bar so you don't need to rummage through your bags every time :)

Happy testing!

Tip:
First - In case you miss it, this is a timed quest.

Also, my luck stinks so your results may vary but if I had to do this over again, 100% I would have first purchased a Field Testing Kit from Alessandro (Undercity /way #1458 58.6 55.2) before starting the grind. I thought I could just bring a bunch of untested samples (15-20) to Undercity and be fine getting at least 8 of each... WRONG. The rate in which these turn into Acceptable Samples is super low especially for the Basilisks which were about 1 out of 10.
