Довольно лёгкий кв: ищем Чешуекрылых змеев на севере от базы, перед атакой юзаем Реполяризованную магнитную сферу. Молниевая железа чешуекрылого добывается с них же.

Нормальный кв : собираем чешую и заодно отражаем молнии в пузыре.

Для просто ты выполнения - сагрите штуки 3, но не убивайте, идите сходите в туалет, налейте чаю , а они сами на вас покастуют, но убить не смогут

Комментарий от Clogg

Оригинальные названия квестов из этой цепочки:
- "Ride the Lightning" (Metallica - песня "Ride the Lightning")
- Show Them Gnome Mercy! (Slayer - песня "Show Them No Mercy!")

Комментарий от Lowcreature

Если есть возможность отхиливаться, то не обязательно мочить одного змея ради одной молнии, можно собирать их и с одного змея, пока хватает ХП.

Easy as a mage, get at 30+ range, let him hit you, sheep, get 30+ again, let him hit you resheep, etc. Bandage when needed. If you can get to something where the can't get you, aka where melee mobs would evade, they'll just constanty lightning strike you.

Hunters can just ping/pong him, with a pet 30 yds away. Have the pet hit him a few times, distrcting shot while your 30+ yards, let him strike you ones, then FD, and repeat.

Druids just root and heal.

If you die on this quest don't make the mistake I made of falling into the death's door subzone on the way to your corpse! It will take you a long walk to get out.

I have no intention of completing this quest because I want to keep the repolarized magneto sphere : )

Комментарий от 6446

This was fairly easy for my 66 hunter. What I would do was, tag one and dps it down to where it would take me about 1-2 hits to kill it, stand there with the shield on and monkey on and just let him hit on me. When I would get low on health, I would drop a trap down, bandage, and wait for the trap to finish. If I get low on health and bandage isn't up, I would kill it and repeat.

Комментарий от 2893

If you abort the quest, do you know if the Polarizer stays in your inventory?

Комментарий от aridian

easy as hunter.

bubble up, serpent sting and keep hitting it. it will hit you with melee attacks (so use aspect of the monkey) and lightning. when you are at 50% (or whatever you think is best), freeze trap it, walk away and use bandage.

repeat. kill it with pet and melee if you get enough of it. move on to the other. the droprate of the glands was 100% for me, so you might want to kill it each 5 or 6 lightning's you take.

Комментарий от Cordana

As a warlock... don't use your pet to hold aggro... put the shield up and hold aggro on your own. Put up siphon life and use drain life and you'll be fine. Should be able to absorb 4-6 lightning bolts per mob. Maybe SS yourself in case you accidentally do something stupid, but I was over half health the whole time.

Комментарий от 27666

Can anyone tell me if there is a horde equivalent to this quest?

Комментарий от 11481

If you want to keep the sphere instead of continuing the chain, you can abandon the quest without destroying it by placing the sphere in your bank before abandoning the quest.

Комментарий от 24763

Why is it one blue and three green items as reward? :D

Комментарий от flipboi

because cloth owns =P lol jk i dont really know

Комментарий от 34355

Wait what if you complete the quest and then go put the sphere in your bank then turn in the quest?And so then you could keep the item and finish the quest?

Комментарий от Scorpio

At Level 70 I got a 10 Gold 69 Silver Reward

Комментарий от 797

One blue reward?

Kinda random...

Комментарий от 149

This quest is clearly a reference to the Metallica song "Ride the Lightning". I love these little things Blizzard throws in.

Комментарий от crimsonhellgr

Not only to the song it is the album named like this ^^

Комментарий от 49133

I did this quest as a lvl 69 Demonology Warlock. And i found out a little trick for lock's to make it a little more easy and faster. When you see a Scalewing Serpent use the ''Shield'' and let the Serpent shoot Lightning strike on you. And then fear him with Fear rank 1! (Only last 10 sec's) So when the fear break's he will almost immediately shoot a Lightning strike on you. And then just repeat with Fear (Rank 1 ^^) =)

Комментарий от 42860

Lol... can you plzz say what do to in this quest not what's the Metallica's song?

Комментарий от 14454

Go to coords: 69, 74 and look for "Scalewing Serpents"

Use the questitem which is called "Repolarized Magneto Sphere" and let the mobs involved in this quest shoot "Lightning Strike" on you. When the Serpents has shot 25 lightning strikes on you, you need to kill 5 serpents to loot "Scalewing Lightning Gland"(I had 100% droprate on this one) Then head back to Toshley's station and deliver the quest.

Комментарий от 64587

Found lot's of Scalewing Serpent at .
As druid i use only two of it. I root one and wait for lightning, after several shooting u can bandage yourself and no need to use heal at all. I did it with only two Serpent. And beware of hidden spiders!!!

Комментарий от Kathadia

If you do this quest in a group, everyone gets credit for all lightning strikes, and only the person actually being hit by the lightning needs to have the bubble on.

So if you do this in a group, only one person (the tank) needs to be bubbled, provided you make sure the tank is the only one to have aggro.

Комментарий от Toldry

The Repolarized Magneto Sphere decrees your movement speed by 35%

Комментарий от Throthgar29

Yeah it is an easy quest - did it as a 70 prot paladin (just stood there in the blue bubble thing for ages) I got all 25 strikes from 1 serpent, as it didnt hit me for much and i could heal myself easily

However i decided not too hand in the quest and keep the Repolarized Magneto Sphere simply cos it looks cool ^^

Комментарий от 67187

For a lock the quest it's easy as it is for a priest. A lock can sacrifice the void (u need to "kill" 4-5 voids) and a priest can only use the shield.

Комментарий от 65501

As a warrior - i was thinking that this quest will be quite hard, providing that i cannot heal myself and have to stand in meelee range to kill things...

But in the end i found this little trick - equip your tanking gear (to get more hp^^) and slowly grind the mob down (you will get some 3-4 lightnings just from that alone) when the mob has some 5-10% hp left just hamstring him or Piercing howl and move away..... bandage and start "eating" the strikes...

If your hp gets too low - just kill him and find another one... gets you around 7-8 strikes instead of 2-3 by just killing the serpent.

Protection warriors also may ConcBlow him or hope for a Revenge stun - then move away...

Hope this helps

Комментарий от 81952

As a rogue, I paired it with Ridgespine Menace. You can go in, take a bunch of lightning and vanish out.. collect them quickly. Bring lots of food and bandages.

Комментарий от digibluez

I keep the quest item as an other fun item, as you can use it anywhere , including Azeroth! Just like the furblog transformation rod!

Комментарий от BoJlk

Please when posting a helpfull tip please consider not everybody are the same class as you.
So, did with Warlock, or healer doesn't help anybody that isn't a healer or a Warlock.

The ligthnig strike cannot be interrupted, putting the shiled on increases the lighting damage.
The shield has 20 sec cooldown (activates the cooldown after canceled.)
Most of their damage comes from the Lighting.

Комментарий от 78626

You will lose the Repolarized Magneto Sphere when you turn in the quest or if you abandon the quest from your quest log.

So its either give up 10g, a green item (which you can sell for a couple gold), and the energy drinks and always have a quest taking up a space in you quest log to keep a useless green bubble like sphere -or- turn it in and get the 12g, energy drinks, and your quest log space back.

Комментарий от 96257

Im a shadowpriest(lvl 66) I found the spot and got 2 serpents after me, i bubbled and kept healing my self and used shadowfiend when i ran low on mana, i got the 25 pretty fast because of the 2 serpents and killed em afterwards, dont wonder about the droprate on the Lighting Glands, if u got the quest its 100%

Комментарий от 72597

probably easiest to do as a paladin just put on concentration aura and holy light when you have to took me about 2 minutes less the time that i had to dodge maggoc

Комментарий от 72738

As a rogue I let the first 5 hit me 3 times and them took them down. The glands dropped from each of them which means the drop rate is really high or i'm just seriously lucky. Then i had to fing about 3 more to complete with a bit of help from & bandages.

Комментарий от 43546

As a warlock i found another trick, just stand there and drainlife, it will keep your health up and make them hit you several times before dying

Комментарий от TheRazielim

Easiest time ever on my Feral Druid, my "healset" (ie: mostly Feral gear with a few random instance drops no one wanted/quest rewards that had no good Feral gear) has just about 5500hp & only ~400 +heal - just stood there getting hit and using 1-stack Lifeblooms as my health went down. I'd just put it up, alt-tab and refresh once the previous one popped.

Just don't alt-tab and forget that stupid Gronn (Maggoc) that walks around, >.>

Комментарий от gratscot

This is hard as hell as a hunter... I am very annoyed. they only do lighting bolt every once in a while and I cant heal... grr

Комментарий от 101774

Just remember that Maggoc patrols around this area and that the shield slows you

So if you see him deactivate the shield and run, run like the wind XD

Комментарий от EliteLeader

The https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=30849 have a 100% drop rate if you have the quest of course.

Комментарий от qhiiyr

If you need to milk a bunch of lightning out of one serpent, just aggro one and run away without hitting them. They'll shoot 1-2 at you as you're running away, then de-aggro. Rinse and repeat.

Комментарий от Nubnut

I find it quite ironic that the gnomes pride themselves on having technology that's so safe compared to that of the goblins.

Yet in this quest they have you getting charred to the equivalent of a nice barbecued rib in order to power up one of their machines. Did I mess the memo?

Комментарий от 146788

I did this no sweat as a balance druid. But any druid can do this.
Just Turn on shield and entangling roots them and keep re-apllying it so the mob has nothing to do but lightning strike you. When ever you get to damaged just heal. so i got about 20 lightning srtikes needed out of 1 mob.

Комментарий от deron

As a rogue you can force them to cast lightning at you by using blind or gouge.

Комментарий от 57826

This quest is a real pain for hunters...

Комментарий от 228961

Ridicolously easy as any ranged class, just stand on one of the spikes and let them hit you

Комментарий от 228961

Ridicolously easy, just pull from a pillar, leave combat and let them shoot you

Комментарий от elilla

DK's may want to use chains of ice to simply kite them in a small circle and take up charges, depending on spec you'll have to kill them off eventually but it'll save waiting on spawns.

Комментарий от Aleck

One of the things I thought was the bubble would protect you, for those who think that, don't because it doubles the damage you take. also do Cutting your teeth and Test Flight: The Singing Ridge if you're alliance.

Комментарий от 343734

haha Rock on!

Комментарий от 212827

Unfair. Why does the Alliance get a Metallica reference? The Horde is obviously better. *coughs* Blizz to give us one.

Комментарий от Eresia

As a level 67 Beastmaster hunter with Lifeblood from 375 herbalism skill I was able to get 5-7 lighting bolts per pull like so...

Used Aspect of the Monkey, pulled with Scorpid Sting, auto attack, used deterrence, used Lifeblood, used Runic Healing potion.
Agro with pet once your out of above options.

Sit eat&drink by then cooldowns should be over.

Reapeted till complete.

As for pet:
Always on passive. If its a cat keep it on stealth.
If other just dismiss. then summon when needed.

Комментарий от 344016

Very easy quest to do, if done right. I only needed two mobs to complete this quest. How?

1. Apply shield.
2. Find a mob.
3. Kite it in a circle around one of the many spikes found in the area
4. ?.
5. Profit.

As a paladin, I used seal of wisdom, and judged wisdom on the mob. Every time the mob started a cast, I'd start a holy light/flash heal depending on how much of an HP deficit I had.

Комментарий от 509818

SUPER EASY as an 80 DK. I used the bubble they give you for the quest, and every so often I popped Rune Tap. Voila!

Комментарий от 327893

iv been doing some work and i have come up with walkthroughs for every class

Hunter:
this is very easy with a good pet just have him ready to summon at a moments notice if you put him on passive the scalewing will get bored with you and attack your pet. first put the bubble on you and shoot the scalewing ONCE then stop attacking and take the hits until you are nearly dead then summon your pet to take aggro and hit scalewing with melee as to not draw aggro again loot and repeat

Warrior:
activate the orb and attack the scalewing to about 10% then stop attacking and take hits. when you are near death then finish off the scalewing bandage yourself and repeat

Paladin:
same as warrior but can heal self for more lightning per kill

Rouge:
kill the scale wings normally to get the glands then use vanish or stealth and evasion to escape, bandage and repeat

Druid:
believe it or not this is best done in tree of life form if your do not have that just go human. go feral to conserve mana and get down to about 10% then switch to tree of life or human and heal your self when needed then moonfire to finish them off

Warlock:
summon your voidwalker and put him on passive then use melee during fight to retain aggro then when near death activate voidwalker and use taunting abilities then finish off

Priest:
this is the hardest class but still doable with a mana potion at hand. use shadow word pain and a few holy smites to lower targets health a little then heal self during fight while reapplying shadow word pain when needed this should be easy if practiced and done right

Shaman:
lay down a healing totem for help and a mana tide totem then cast a simple lightning bolt on your target to aggro healing self when needed

Death Knight:
unholy spec helps just summon your ghoul and do things like a hunter if not then do things like a warrior

Mage:
ice spec helps just summon elemental on passive and do things like a hunter otherwise kill till 10% and finish off when you are near death

Night Elf: surprisingly if you are a night elf it doesn't matter about your class just get the glands then drag target away from where you find them and shadow meld near death

hope this is useful if needed i will edit

Комментарий от Damonra

I'm a level 85 warlock with 395 iLvl gear, and did this by getting close enough to them to get aggro - with no minion what so ever. With 154K health, I was able to let them just beat on me, and get repeated lightning aborbs. Just sit back and relax until you get to about 20 / 25 lighting aborbs, then kill it (or 2 of them if you want it to go faster), then collect the gland you need as well. After that, just DoT or slow DPS another until lightning strikes, and kill it for the gland too. Then move to the next one & repeat.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Wasnt too hard, was hell on my bandage and consumable stock, one step closer to 70 though XD

Make sure you have Ridgespine Menace and Cutting Your Teeth, as these are all done in the same area

Комментарий от Allakhazam

i just got bout 5 a kill, would pull then turn around and watch some of boon doc saints then, go back and kill it. EAt to full, lather rinse repeat.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Easiest quest ever for a new rolled Drenai Shammy, activate the bubble pop your Naaru, lay down either a mana totem or a healing totem and just sit there and heal yourself then nuke him down when oom first one i got 11 charges 2nd finished it off 2 kills quest done

Комментарий от Allakhazam

This quest can be done at the same time as Cutting Your Teeth and Ridgespine Menace. And you can ride the Capacitor to get to the best location, that is, Razor Ridge, (66, 74) through (66,58). Just watch out for Maggoc, a level 70 Elite who likes to wander the same space.

The snakes didn't do enough damage (even with the lighting gizmo turned on) to make me all that worried as a 67 Warrior, but a Nature Protection potion might help people who get worried when they're down to 5% health. I went in with Juju Power running but no other buffs.

Being a cook, I always have enough grub to heal up between encounters. I was usually able to do 2 or 3 before chowing down. While doing this with the other two quests is a good idea, you might want to work on one monster type at a time; the others have Infected Bite (for the Raptors) and Poison (for the Stalkers) which would make you take even more damage.

The initial lightning bolt takes enough time so that you can do your first-strike routine before putting it up and absorbing it. And make sure to take it down between encounters (secondary-click on the "buff" near the mini-map) to avoiud the movement penalty. And of course when you see your 25th lightning bolt, turn it off for good and take it out of your action bar.

The rewards aren't great. I already have a Fel Iron Belt which is (1) better and (2) becomes way better as part of a set. The 10 Rage potion is pretty much laughable for an Arms warrior with Endless Rage and all the other Rage-generating Talents. But, you know, for an easy quest that can be done with others, why not do it?

I'd also abandon this to have a cool gizmo, but I already did that with Raene's Cleansing (the Furbolg transform wand) and I'd rather get to the end of the quest chain.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Hunters: make sure you turn your pet's growl off and pull each serpent yourself before your pet aggros. This way you should be able to absorb the lightening just fine. Have healing potion, food, bandages at hand. And activate the shield before you start attacking.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

easy as pie for locks, dot em with siphon life, then drain life =], dont drain em too fast then they die before you get many zaps, but make sure your life stays about half obviously. simple simple simple.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

For a hunter just use the launcher to goto Singing Ridge
put shieldd on and like someone said one at a time

Комментарий от Allakhazam

u dont get to keep the item if u abandon :(

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Ok, someone needs to point out that besides the fact this quest kind of sucks, it is one of the best metallica albums ever lol.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

68, 73
note: dont forget to activate Repolarized Magneto

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I hate misleading information....especially when it can get you killed
but after playing wow long enough I know not to take everything blizzard says at face value, so I didnt just run in and aggro everything
but to save anyone else who might read this, the item in no way absorbs anything.
you still take full damage from the lightning which is a great deal
also it slows your movement, so make sure you only fight 1 at a time
and beware the 70 elite roaming

Комментарий от Allakhazam

What a stupid quest! 'Go out and get zapped, and by the way you are going to take more damage than normal.' Don't hit too hard or you won't store any lightning before they die. Don't even consider taking a mate to help because they will get your lightning. It all relies on you killing them slowly and not dying from the higher damage. I pity the cloth wearing people but they make up for it by giving them a blue reward. Take some nature protection potions and lots of healing or better yet, a healer with low agro on their spells.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

I found this also very easy as a warrior. I range pulled a serpent and kept backing away, as I backed away he'd fire, and I'd collect lighting, when he got close I only hit him with automatic (white) hits and turned and backed away in the opposite direction. I got the first 11 hits from one, the next 10 from another, and the rest from a final.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

After reading the rest of the quest line and seeing the rewards, I'm abandoning this now. Not only is it not worth the effort, but by ditching this you can keep the repolarized sphere gadget and entertain yourself when your healer is on an AFK break in the middle of Arcatraz.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Really stupid quest. Each Scalewing Serpent deals 1-5 lightning strikes if you kill it in "normal" time. If you're a hunter, like myself, you can not let the pet hold agro since you won't be able to "collect" any lightning strikes if the beast doesn't attack you. So put pet on Cower and melee-fight! -.-
(Make sure to have lots of food and water since you will need one of each after every fight)
You find them around 68.68 in Blade's Edge Mountains, Outlands.

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Grab "Test Flight - Singing Ridge", "Cutting your Teeth" and "Ridgespine Menace" than do the test flight. You'll land in the right area.

Edit: Apparently test flight can also land you in the middle of the crystals. Quests: "Crystal Clear" and "What came First, the Drake or the Egg?"

Комментарий от Allakhazam

Would have finished in 1 mob as Shadow Priest, but one of Gruul's sons came -_-

Комментарий от Allakhazam

OK This is too cool, you can use the shield then go bird form....

Looks cool, I'm keeping my bubble.

Why do they have to put the movement speed debuff

Комментарий от Allakhazam

So um yea...Im really tempted to keep the quest item itself and not turn in lol. Who wants a pirate costume when you can have your very own bubble boy! Yes im a gnome and a dork!
