The Crystals will be the hardest to get. You will need to have a group to do this part.

Commento di Nordoelum

This can be soloed. But you need to be a hunter, and atleast lvl19 with a bear as your pet. (Can use another defensive pet aswell.)

Commento di shonen

Lucky me, got the crystal on the first kill! And indeed, as a hunter/warlock you should be able to solo this!

Commento di Thottbot

Do the quest Mercenaries at the same time. Will save a lot frustration ;)

A Small tip: The lvl 22 Rare spawn has 100% chance to drop the Crocolisk Tear

Commento di Thottbot

a don�t understand where you get the cristals.
a need help, hbut when a kild crock and spider, a get them on the first

Commento di Thottbot

Just finished this....

Here is the key

Start at the edge of the DAM (where the 2 insurgents r with the strange powder)

Kill the following:

Loch Crocks lvl 15 or more
Lurkers lvl 18+ (19 is better)
and
Mo'grosh Enforcers (yes enforcers b/c they drop crystals) lvl 19+ Elite

Crocks and Lurkers are right off the edge
Enforcers are a little ways up on the left (right where lvl 18 bears start appearing) and the first one i killed dropped it.

Nice XP...

Lvl 22 Warlock...Fear and Voidwalker is an excellent strategy for solo against elites

Commento di Thottbot

Like many of the others I had to kill tons of the orges to get the crystal (which I just got). But get this, I had just gone up a lvl and had only 23 XP when I started killing the orges...I came out with 15,053 XP (My XP bar was blue) when I was done just from killing orges! When I did get the crystal it was at the enterance to the stronghold found near the coords 75,30 Good luck guys!

Commento di Thottbot

I went with a 38 hunter and a 40 rogue and we got it in a hour, the other stuff I got on my first kills. (Im a 21 warrior)

Commento di Thottbot

over three nights i probably did 2-3 hours a night..over 200 killed..still, got decent rep and xp for it. just be prepared for along haul on the crystal.

Commento di Thottbot

For the ones too bored to give the coords Here they are:

Lurkers 74.38 ( LVl 18-19 Lurkers )

Crystal 65.21 ( Drops drom enforcers 18-19 Elite )

Dark Iron Agents 59.18 ( easy drop lvl 19

Commento di Thottbot

I did this as a 20 lock. There are three entrances to the ogre camps, so I cherry-picked 18 and 19 elites of all types until I got the drop, took about 15 ogres. Oddly the hardest drop for me was lurker venom.

BTW there is a 22 Elite rare spawn croc that dropped a Loch Croc Hide Vest - not useful for me but was a interesting auction item.

Commento di Thottbot

wow, I don't wanna piss y'all off, but I got it at my second ogre.... took me about 2 minutes for the crystal, now going for the other items. Maybe you should go for the crystal first.

Commento di Thottbot

ok, I was all happy about it, but now I've killed about 30 spiders and still no venom thing... it seems the quest gives u the fist items first, but after that u gotta waste your whole day for the rest...

Commento di Thottbot

finally got the venom, felt like forever, about half an hour of killing them... but I did get it

Commento di Thottbot

the crocolisk tear I got on my third croko, so basically one of the items took forever, the rest were fast. so, start with the ogres first, since they are harder to kill, cuz they seem to give u the items faster that way, and then go for the easier ones I guess.
Overall this quest took about an hour.
Good luck

Commento di Thottbot

I want to add one more thing. The cordonates are good, but u don't need to kill any Dark Iron Agents. Don't know why that guy put that there. U gotta kill crocos on the edge of the lake, in the same area.
Hope I helped someone, good luck!

Commento di Allakhazam

I tried doing this quest tonight. It was annoying! I mean, the venom and tear weren't by any means hard to get, but it's that goddamned crystal! We killed so many ogres, but STILL couldn't find it.

Damned ogres.

Commento di Allakhazam

Finding the crystal was not that easy. We had to go through a few ogres but one of the ogres inside the cave dropped it. I was fortunate to have had help finding the crystal. As I was killing ogres outside the cave, two other players were doing the same quest and invited me to join the group. If you're having difficulty with this part of the quest, ask two or three players to help you out.

Commento di Allakhazam

killed 1 croc,. 1 spider both dropped the item,

my second ogre dropped the crystal, he wandered outside of that stronghold/

reall easy, completed this in 5mins

lvl 23 hunter

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm a level 25 Paladin and have had this in my quest log since reaching level 15. I have completed all the other Loch Modan quests available to me up to now as well as tens of other quests from different locales, yet still have this one to finish - all because of the unbelievably slim chance of the bleedin' crystal being dropped.

In completing the main Mo'grosh quest my group must have waded through about 20 of these giants and still no crystal. This quest has now gone grey, the XP points have been lost and I'm still no nearer getting the thing.

Goodbye life, it's been fun while it lasted <places .357 magnum to head>...

Commento di Allakhazam

Confrim off an Enforcer

Commento di Allakhazam

I got the crystal after 10 random kills. I am a lvl 26 paladin.

Commento di Allakhazam

Easily done as a priest. (level 18)

Obviously, Crocs and spiders are easiest part.

When taking on the Ogres, take on one at a time, and ONLY go for Enforcers level 18. Firstly Mind Blast them, then use your wand until you get to about 20% health, throw up a shield, heal and carry on wanding.

Did it after 3 enforcers, pretty lucky to be honest.

As for other classes (unless you're a hunter or warlock) you'll have to wait til a higher level

Edit/ I dinged at 18 handing in the quest which leads to this one, I did not have any level 18 priest spells or gear at this point.

Commento di Allakhazam

Ok, i've killed at least 40 of these things and no crystal. I seem to remember on another character that i got it on the first kill on the ogre on the outside of the compound as you are heading there from the dam, but i couldn't be as lucky this time. This is definetly a quest that blizzard needs to rework the drop rate. At this point, i am about ready to give up on the quest chain.

Commento di Allakhazam

Did this quest with a lvl 18 Hunter and my Bear pet, with no outside help, took about 20mins. this is my first WoW char and it didn't seem as hard as you guys made it out to be. I bought a ton of potions and food thinking it was going to be ultra hard.

Commento di Allakhazam

i know its been a few years since ne one posted here but i was reading it cause iv only just bought the game and this quest was easy. i got all 3 items after killing them only 4 times each LOL

Commento di Allakhazam

That crystal is kinda retarded. I soloed the entire quest, sticking to the ogres that wandered around the entrance. I finally got the drop after killing tons and tons of the big bastards.

Did get quite a few nice greens, though.

Commento di Allakhazam

The Mo'Grosh Crystal is a pain the butt. I'm a level 27 hunter, so this quest should be fairly easy for me, considering all the Mo'Grosh Ogres are grey...
But nonetheless, I died twice, killed at least 25-30 of a random assortment of Mo'Grosh dudes, and not one of them dropped the crystal.
Be aware that you must apparently have ALOT of patience...Or a group that can hopefully get a higher kill per minute rate, so you can find the crystal faster.
Good luck.

Commento di Allakhazam

Had 2 drop off a roaming shaman. So it seems that they can drop multiples. Based on posts here I'd assume it can drop from any ogre, just rare.

Commento di Allakhazam

The crockolist tear was easy.. got it on my 2nd kill....
The Crystal was hard to get.. I had to kill 20 Mo'grosh to get it..
and to get the venom i had to kill few spiders...

Hunter 23lvl and pet..

Commento di Allakhazam

Alright, this is not easy, but if your smart its not hard.

The Croc tear you can solo on croc island there in the middle of the lake. The Lurker Venom drops now off all the spiders. The Crystal? That's a real @$#%#$.

It drops off the Mystics inside the caves. Someone said lastnight that they drop off shamans and brutes too, but I cant confirm that as all 7 I have seen people get have been off of Mystics. Your going to need to group to do this, and if no one has healing magic, then you need to get your mage to cast dampen magic, cause the mystics will lightning bolt you for days. Be careful in here, they swarm up like mad. If you can, grab a mage to sheep the adds and if someone says run, then run. Dont question it, just run.

If your going to do this quest, then be smart and run over and talk to Magistrate Bluntnose and get the Mercenaries quest too since that requires you to kill ogres and needs a group. Mercenaries also requires brutes, which live in the caves with the mystics, and so your going to have to drop a mystic or two to get your 4 brutes, so there's a chance you will get a crystal out of it.

Commento di Allakhazam

Brutes will also drop this item.

Commento di Allakhazam

I killed a whole buttload of every type of ogre and as of yet have recieved nothing? Why? I don't know. Stupid crystal. Just get some other quests in the area and do those, and hope that something drops what you need.

Commento di Allakhazam

I got it off a Mo'Gosh Ogre. It's just a random drop since just about any Mo'Gosh will have it.

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm guessing that picking up the Croc Tear and Venom before heading out for the Crystal are a better bet?

My bf's Human Warlock picked up the crystal on the second elite monster in, but I've gone in with my lvl 23 NE Rogue and must have killed 20 so far! I've even tried pickpocketing them all the way to the frontdoor step.

Still haven't found one.
Argh! 8p

Commento di Allakhazam

i have killed 10 ogres and no crystal, i have killed 35 spiders and no venom, but the 2nd croc i killed dropped the tear. which spiders do i kill? i have killed the higher lvl ones around stronghold i have killed medium lvl ones around bingles crash site, i have killed the very low lvl ones behind thelsamar which ones do i kill none of them have dropped venom can someone help me please?

Commento di Allakhazam

anyone have any coords?

Commento di Allakhazam

once u set up a kill zone, just pick them off, real easy! got the crystal after about 20 kills, but took no time at all.
If ur a Gnome mage, just fireball the mystics, they run out of mana quickly.
the lvl 19's are easy too, all i done was frostbolt, fireball, fire blast, frost nove, run back, fire blast and arcane missiles too finish them. wasn't hard,
If your about too run out of mana just do a mana shield and use your wand!

some nice drops =p

Commento di Allakhazam

i got a venom sac yet it does not show that i have completed that part of the quest...

Commento di Allakhazam

Both myself and the person I grouped with got the crystal on the first Brute we killed. We got lucky I think.

Commento di Allakhazam

I banged my head against the wall for the longest time on my 18-20 level Rogue. The Crocolisk and Lurker items were easy enough (first kills each time), but those Ogres... I could just barely handle one at a time, and that's IF my Backstab went off. And a Shaman didn't wander by. And I got decent Sinister Strikes.

So I went to my main, a level 47 Warrior, and did the prequests to this one. (As well as clearing up the Dun Modr quests and the Sully Balloo easter egg.) None of the ogres gave me their crystal, until I went into the dave and killed Mystics and Brutes. The sixth Brute I killed gave it up.

I was in the cave whose entrance is at (74, 19) at the time. Oh, also any Lurker can give you the venom; I got mine just outside of town on the way to the dam. Good luck!

ADDENDUM: Hah, just finished this with that level 20 Rogue. Knowing that the Brutes were the key, I Stealthed my way a little way into each cave, Ambushing the static guards and watching out for the wanderers. I killed several Mystics and Brutes in this manner, and eventually a Brute dropped the crystal.

So take heart, soloism fans! It can be done. I'd say that 20 would be about the minimum level for that though, since you get a lot of good skills (including trade skills-- I got to 225 Enchanting during this quest) at that point.

At least in the Classic re-release the Crystal part is worth doing in a group because you kill much faster, you can group up with others doing the other elite quests in the area and when the Crystal drops, all group members on this quest can loot it!

Commento di Ping

I'm in Classic (2019 - message from the future!) and this quest is STILL a total b*tch 15 years on.

I've been offering to join EVERY SINGLE MERCENARIES GROUP that's LFM (I'm a healer), and I think I have done that entire Mo'grosh Stronghold about 8 times now. I'm about 3 or 4 hours in, and still no crystal.

Good XP, though, and people are grateful to have a healer tag along in there.

Commento di stuybev

would NOT recommend this quest, sure if you've also got the mercenaries quest go for it i guess, even then though don't expect the crystal to drop, is 5% rate supposedly and to attempt soloing this even at lvl 20 is about as fun as farming a rare mount, but with 0% of the reward... imo avoid like the plague!

Commento di Martyriaa

Crystal finally dropped after 1 hour grind...from a kind ogre shammy :)

Commento di EatenByGrues

Like others in Classic, this is an hour of my life I won't get back in TBC Classic. Almost to the minute, from hearthing to Menethil, flying to Loch Modan, doing this quest, turning in, and doing the follow-up quest. Like others described here in Classic, the drop rate is OK except for the ogres. For me, 2 crocolisks and probably under a dozen spiders. I cleared the ogre camp at least 3 times though before getting the crystal. That was probably 50-ish kills at least, though there were 2 other players in the area at different times in my hour. But by the time I turned the quest in at the dam, hopped in the water for the last step, and swam back to turn in the final quest in the chain, my hearth was seconds from being up. I'd recommend skipping this chain entirely. I did it because I'd never encountered it before, in Classic or back in the old days, but it wasn't time well-spent.

Commento di Ragoul1337

per september 2023 in wow classic HC I can confirm (self evident), that all ogres drop this &*!n crystal (not only the ones inside the cave) .... anyhow it took me 1,5h to farm it

Commento di Shioban

December 30th 2023 SoD: the ogres take forever to drop the crystal, busy over an hour killing them, don't have it yet. Good thing i can solo them as lvl 25 mage but it's a real annoyance having to drink so much.

A Dark Threat Looms

Chief Engineer Hinderweir wants you to gather Lurker Venom, a Mo'grosh Crystal, and a Crocolisk Tear.

	Lurker Venom (1)
	Mo'grosh Crystal (1)
	Crocolisk Tear (1)

Descrizione

Begin collecting the disarming materials immediately, <name>. Lurker Venom can be found on the indigenous spiders in Loch Modan. Crocolisk tears are found here in the Loch as well. But a Mo'Grosh crystal will be very difficult to procure. The ogres to the northeast mine them but the crystals are a very rare commodity.

We need to be prepared to defuse a Dark Iron attack! Return to me once you've collected the needed items and I will prepare the mixture.
