Paar Tipps für die Quest, Dropraten sind nur daher scheinbar schlimm, da sowohl Kleine als auch normale Felselementare im Questgebiet gespawnt werden.

Droprate für die Splitter ist um die 30%, kann aber als geringer wahrgenommen werden, wenn man in der Nähe der Höhle sammelt.
Nur die kleinen Felselementare droppen die Splitter, sind überwiegend westlich des Questgebers am Hang zu finden.
Der Bereich um die Höhle kann kleine Felselementare spawnen, aber spawnt überwiegend normale Felselementare.

Konzentriert man sich auf die kleinen Felselementare, ist die Quest schnell fertig. Normale sollte man nur dann wegräumen, wenn sie den Spawn von kleinen verhindern.

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

Kommentar von 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

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.

Kommentar von 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

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Thottbot

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

Kommentar von 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?

Kommentar von Thottbot

23, 44

8 lesser rock elementals here

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The drop rate for this quest is brutal.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got my second drop on my third kill :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

damn, what a horrible low droprate. ;(

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

arround 21,48

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

ive gotten 1 every kill lol...

Kommentar von 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

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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....

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Finshed This Quest with LVL 44 Human Mage, Received:

Experience Gained: 1700

Leads to next quest...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von 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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i got my third drop on my fifth kill :)

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

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

Kommentar von Allakhazam

got my first drop on my second kill :)

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Vorishgo

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

Kommentar von 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 Schicke Stoppuhr from Das wird schwierig 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.

Kommentar von 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

Kommentar von ExocetRogue

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

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von QuickBASIC

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

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

Kommentar von QuickBASIC

To get Schicke Stoppuhr, you need to complete:

Gyro... Was? requires Gyrochronatom.
Kühlaufsätze setzen sich durch requires Frostöl.
Element-Studie: Fels by killing Kleiner Felselementar for Kleiner Steinsplitter.
Element-Studie: Fels by killing Felselementar for Große Steinplatte.
Element-Studie: Fels by killing Großer Felselementar for Armschienen der Steinbindung.
This unlocks Das wird schwierig which leads to Das wird schwierig which awards Schicke Stoppuhr.

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:

Flüssigstein requires Heiltrank and Geringer Unsichtbarkeitstrank.
Stein ist besser als Stoff requires Gemusterte bronzene Armschienen.

Kommentar von zedwards

F this quest. Low drop rate, constantly farmed.

Kommentar von 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!

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von Greyvax

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

Kommentar von 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 .

Kommentar von 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.

Element-Studie: Fels

Sucht 10 kleine Felssplitter und bringt sie Lotwil Veriatus im Ödland.

	Kleiner Steinsplitter (10)

Beschreibung

Ich habe die Arbeit an meinem neuesten Projekt hier im Ödland erst mal eingestellt: meine Fesseln der Elementarbindung.

Wenn sie vollendet sind, werden Magier noch mächtigere Elementare beschwören und sie in noch größerer Zahl nutzen können. Ich brauche zunächst kleine Felssplitter, um einige meiner neuesten Angriffszauber und ein paar der Dingsdas zu testen, die ich zusammengebastelt habe.

Die Splitter kann man leicht von den kleinen Felselementaren westlich von hier sammeln. Würdet Ihr mir ein paar bringen?
