Just tried this quest and after 20 min of killing animals I did'nt even get one valid probe. Did this way too high level and could ae farm some of the mobs so no thanks. Deleted this stupid quest. Cannot recommend!

Kommentar von MjrPayne

Wenn die Quest gestartet wurde (Achtung, 2h-Timer) müsst ihr nach Undercity reisen und dort bei Alessandro Luca für 9s das Feldtestset kaufen.
Das Item müsst ihr nur dabei haben und die gesammelten ungetesteten Proben, z.B. Ungetestete Hyänenprobe, direkt anklicken. Ergibt die Probe z.B. eine Akzeptable Hyänenprobe wird sie für die Quest angerechnet; andernfalls wurde nur eine ungetestete verbraucht ohne das etwas passiert (keine Meldung oder so in der Art).

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.

Kommentar von 22205

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

Kommentar von 19000

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

Kommentar von spleen1015

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.

Kommentar von moxiegirl

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.

Kommentar von 28465

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

Kommentar von 38405

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.

Kommentar von 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!

Kommentar von 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!

Kommentar von Thottbot

^ there is a bank in gadgetzan...

Kommentar von Thottbot

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

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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!

Kommentar von 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!

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Thottbot

34 minutes.

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

Good luck.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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).

Kommentar von Thottbot

this is one fuked up quest ....

53.58 is a good spot

Kommentar von Thottbot

I don't know why, but the Hyena Sample just refused to drop. I did this quest twice and it still hasn't dropped. Anyone find this?

Kommentar von Thottbot

took about 35 to 40 mins
I mostly grinded south of Gadgetzan

52,39 area.

all three are located there

received about 4050 XP
very doable

w/ lock you can mob 3 of them at once w/ DOT and fear...or you can run if you use CoExhaustion.

Good luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

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!

Kommentar von 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!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Took me 1hr and 12 mins as a lvl 46 shadow priest. the XP and rewards were well worth it

Kommentar von Allakhazam

43,37

80 mins.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This took me 39 minutes to complete as a lvl 48 shaman. The slowest to get were the scorpids. There are plenty of hyenas and basilisks near the part of the map that says "Abyssal Sands."

4050xp @ lvl 48

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This is what it took for me to finish it

Starving Blisterpaw : 27
Glasshide Basilisk : 14
Scorpid Hunter : 19
Scorpid Tail Lasher : 2

Took almost the full 2 hours as a level 41 shadow priest. Got 4050xp from the gadetzan turn in.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

annoying as heck, imo.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i did it in one shot, solo at 47, with 50 minutes left...

not too bad...

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

dont know if its already been posted but you have to get a kit for the quest in the undercity from Alessandro Luca

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

did this in 45 mins coz i wasnt silly enuf to kill lvl 42's, kill htwe lvl 47 and sucess every time ^-^ yay

DIABMO

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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. :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

an hour or so was worth an Icemail Jerkin

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Graylock, Argent Dawn

Kommentar von 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

Edited, Sat Jun 18 00:19:30 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Took about an hour for me. The basilisks took the longest, but it could have been worse.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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. I complained to Blizz and got the ubiquitous /shrug. Seems to me I used to play another mmorpg with that same attitude - I don't play it any more.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Took me 53 minutes as a level 45 mage.

(Deliberately did it very late night to avoid ganking/someone else doing it)

Edited, Sat Mar 26 20:31:14 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Very, very easy.. This quest may look intimidating, but this is a cake walk. Finished it in 49 minutes.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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.

Kommentar von 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. :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

OMFG! im never ever gonna do this bloody quest again....
i wasted 1 hour and 30 mins an after that i only got 4050 exp!
and after that i can pick some Feral Druid shoulders....

though i found Orgon's Sash, im a Rogue so i was happy for 5 mins but rest of the time i burned ffs!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Took 54 minutes running around.

Worthless quest!

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Nidale

It took 30min to complete in Classic.

Kommentar von Ulrikekekeka

For Alliance players looking how to start this quest, or get the item, it's horde only.

Kommentar von Oceandust

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 Chefingenieur Bilgewhizzle to pick up the quest Eine weitere Kraftquelle? 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 Feldtestset from Alessandro Luca 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 Eine weitere Kraftquelle? over again which then allows you to pick up this quest.

Kommentar von VeteranZero

This quest is super simple....just highlight it in your quest log, and click abondon quest. Not worth the time it takes to complete it.

Kommentar von datania

I did this quest in two chars:

48 shadow priest took
Scorpid 16
Hyena 20
Basilisk 25
to finish with 1 hr 19 mins left.

46 hunter took
basilisk 26
scorpid 28
hyena 20
to finish with 51 mins left.

Kommentar von MrAntroz

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).

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von jfoobar

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.

Kommentar von xLunacyx

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

Kommentar von Angryandidiot

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....! >:(

Kommentar von Gannon

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.

Kommentar von 164284

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 Elixier der Feuermacht, Arkanes Elixier, Schlachtruf der Drachentöter, Sayges dunkles Schicksal des Schadens and Geist von Zandalar)
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.

Kommentar von cleiver

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

Kommentar von Cosmo2772

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!

Kommentar von l337neteng

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.

	Akzeptable Basilisken-Probe (8)
	Akzeptable Hyänenprobe (8)
	Akzeptable Skorpidprobe (8)
	Feldtestset (1)
	Ungetestete Basilisken-Probe (999)
	Ungetestete Hyänenprobe (999)
	Ungetestete Skorpidprobe (999)

Beschreibung

Nach Aktivierung der Kraftquelle beginnt das Feldtestset zu glühen und zu vibrieren. Es scheint, als würde es funktionieren wie geplant.

Laut Chefingenieur Bilgewhizzle habt Ihr zwei Stunden Zeit, um die benötigten Daten in der Tanariswüste zu sammeln. Falls Ihr sie nicht innerhalb von zwei Stunden sammelt, gehen alle Daten verloren und Ihr müsst eine weitere Kraftquelle von ihm erstehen.

Kehrt zu ihm zurück, wenn Ihr Eure Aufgabe erfüllt habt.
