This is a horrible quest. I've spent at least half an hour trying to complete it on just about every character I've taken through 1k Needles, and haven't been successful once.

There's only a few of these guys in the whole region, and the drop rate is very low. Just spend the time grinding on wolves while you wait for one of them to spawn over and over.

Gravelsnout Suveyor (30) - Located him at 66,50 and got it off the first drop.
Did this quest as a 26 Warlock.

Got the drop off of a Digger near the Horde encampment on the border with Shimmering Flats. Also, Thundering Boulderkin can be found in this area which are needed for the quest "A Different Approach." https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=9431

Got mine at 63.5, 47.6.....killed a lvl 29 digger.

Very annoying quest for the rewards. I advise taking it and while questing through out Thousand Needles chances are high you'll run into enough of these guys to get the item. Which bring me to my next point the drop rate is quite low for NPCs that are pretty hard to find.

If you do need to go searching for them, go to the east of the Great Lift and follow the ridge till you get to the centaurs there about 3 or 4 that spawn frequently between there.

Oh my god.

Took a little more than an hour to complete this quest. About 3 trips around 1k needles.

Creator of this effing quest needs to be hung.

I would just abandon this quest if it were green, it's not worth it.

评论来自 Thottbot

Apparently you need to wait until your target has MINED THE ORE first..then you kill them :)

评论来自 Thottbot

I hade no problem with it as a lvl 27 rouge ;) I got the Ore from a lvl 30 Surveyor on LoC 65,48 in Thousand Needles ;o)

Good look guys c",)

评论来自 Thottbot

found @ 51,48 in thousand needles

评论来自 Thottbot

I followed "Easy to find" from tigerlili as well. Got my ore on the second kill. Literally, soon as you go up the little incline out of shimmering flats, go right to the mountain wall turn left, and you should see a few panthers and maybe a vortex. Should see a few Gravelsnout Surveyors near the small shack.

评论来自 Thottbot

found our two samples at 65,50 .. twice

评论来自 Thottbot

I found it between 65,51 - 67,51, watch for the respawn right where the round boulder is up against a small mountain. It seemed every 5-10 minutes a surveyor or someone similar would come around, it was an eventual drop. DO NOT LEAVE THIS AREA.

For those without Cosmos, if you are to come out of Shimmering Flats and take the main road (the one that is almost a straight line through Thousand Needles,) on the map you'll notice that immediately there are 2 hills to the left and one to the right, GO TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RIGHT MOUNTAIN. Do not go past this mountain.

评论来自 Thottbot

go to coords 66,51 then there's a big chance that you will see mobs who are called gravelsnout diggers. Keep killing those mobs until you have the ore sample. I got mine in one kill :)

评论来自 Thottbot

@ 53.45

评论来自 Thottbot

Apparently the ore is only found on diggers and surveyors and apparently you need to let them dig before killing them.

I must have killed 15 diggers just after they dug. I noticed however that the one time I finally got the ore, the digger took a break and wiped his brow while digging. Thinking this might be a clue, I destroyed my ore sample and followed three more diggers around and waited until each dug but also did the brow wipe animation then proceeded to kill the digger. Each of the three times I got the ore sample.

Hope this helps.

评论来自 Thottbot

64,49 found one digger, waited for him to dig and wipe his brow or whatever, then killed him. No sample. Got jumped by some wandering mobs, died, came back. Found another digger walking around in the middle of the area doing nothing but walking around aimlessly. Attacked him, killed him, he had the sample.

评论来自 Thottbot

i found on digger at 54, 45

评论来自 Thottbot

went to 65,50 and killed a Gravelsnout Surveyor

评论来自 Thottbot

got it off a surveyor around 64,48

评论来自 Thottbot

There is nothing magical about this quest.

You dont need to wait for them to dig.

The digger I killed has JUST SPAWNED.

Location - 53,44

评论来自 Thottbot

I found the sample off Gibblesnik at 60.47 Im standing there right now!

60.47

评论来自 Thottbot

I got the ore sample off the first Kobold I found, a Gravesnout Digger (29), due east of the elevators coming down from Freewind Post .

Killed a Digger at 52,43 in the Windbreak Canyon in Thousand Needles

评论来自 Thottbot

found it at 65,49

评论来自 Thottbot

just killed one kobolt at 52,47 and he just digged in a big stone after that i killed him...

评论来自 Thottbot

Just got a Gravelsnout Digger to drop the item at 59,58. Second kill.

评论来自 Thottbot

If you happen across Gibblesnik in Thousand Needles (sorry - no loc) he also drops the unrefined ore.

He wasn't especially difficult to kill as a lvl 27 warlock given he's only lvl 28.

评论来自 Thottbot

got ore on first kill from surveyor around 53.46

评论来自 Thottbot

I got my on my first kill.

评论来自 Thottbot

HOW do you start this quest? the guy in TJ doesn't have this quest for me at 27. do you have to find the ore to start the quest?

评论来自 Allakhazam

Mine dropped off of Giblesnik, a rare spawn in the Windbreak Canyon, around 59, 49.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Dropped off first kill. Gravelsnout Digger @ 52, 43

评论来自 Allakhazam

This quest totally sucks....I've killed like 10 of these guys (when I can finally find them!) and they haven't dropped the ore yet. :( Worse yet, I'm getting stuff like "large stone" and crap like that which is only a 1% drop compared to the 15% drop of the ore. uggghhhh!

评论来自 Allakhazam

From Gravelsnout Digger at 66,50.

评论来自 Allakhazam

If you actually READ the quest, it says Diggers and Surveyors, therefore that means they don't drop from a Kobold. Oh and you don't need timing e.g. "Before he swings or it wont work!1!" and "I wanna add that kill the mob _while_ he is _digging_ (not after, not before, while he is swinging the pick)", you people are just pathetic so just do the quest and shut up you excuses for mentally retarded apes. -.- and don't bother replying b!tches...

评论来自 Allakhazam

well i killed one whilst he was mining like the first post said, he didnt drop, then went further down and didnt see the surveyor so accidently aggrod no drop now ive been waiting ages for a respawn :(

评论来自 Allakhazam

go like you are going to the flats make a hard left you'lll see alot of stalkers and a pilar .there is a digger getting oil . he'll getthe sample and t hen attack you if you tme it just right !1 time kill and sample

评论来自 Allakhazam

Feh. I've killed hundreds of the little bastards before, during, and after mining, and nothing yet. Darn quest is green already...was orange when I started it.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Seems to be 3 different type of Kobolds in the area:
Gravelsnout Digger
Gravelsnout Surveyor
Gravelsnout Kobold.

I've killed tons of 'Kobolds' and no drop.
Ur best bet is the diggers.

评论来自 Allakhazam

66,50 is not a proper location bc it is in the water if you cosmos it in the Barrens, these ppl are delusional!

评论来自 Allakhazam

Very first mob dropped it, super easy.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I solod this at 25 with my loc, took me about 1hour for it to drop but eventually it did off a 30 servayor

评论来自 Allakhazam

I killed 4-5 of these and no drop then i decided to kill one while he was digging and then it finally did drop!

评论来自 Allakhazam

I got mine from a Gravelsnout Digger at location 66, 62. Made sure he did the digging before killing.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I got mine off Gibblesnik, a rare named kobold. I was near a cloud serpent nest around loc 55, 50.

评论来自 Allakhazam

gravelsnout digger at 66,50!

unrefined ore sample

评论来自 Allakhazam

When i look up a quest i don't give a hoot how or what, I need to know where and not with cord. A guide is suppose to be informative not braggin! Why is it so hard to give directions? Dang i looked here cause thouttbot wasn't helpin much either and i usually play along! Hard to find things sometimes without help, Sorry but just kinda ticks me off.

评论来自 Allakhazam

66.50?
ehh.. I dont think so

评论来自 Allakhazam

66,50 was great for me, its where I found it too

评论来自 Allakhazam

He found me! So easy!

评论来自 Allakhazam

I have the ore but when i talk to the npc he i cant complete it he says i dont have it

评论来自 Allakhazam

Where do you guys get the map coordinate mod? (Or a site that shows coords)

评论来自 Allakhazam

i got mine from one wandering by the path at 56,56 got it off him he was my first kill, my lucky day.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Found mine at 59,53 was looking it up on here where to find the digger went back to WoW and i was being attacked by a digger killed him and got the ore!

评论来自 Allakhazam

Easy to do. Keep in mind that you'll need to allow the Gravelsnout Digger to mine the ore before you kill him. The mobs you need are in this general loc: 57,57.

My results:
You gain 2350 experience.
Your reputation with Orgrimmar has increased.
Received 25 Silver.

评论来自 Allakhazam

i've been lettin em dig, but no one is dropping. and i don't have whatever shows coordinates, is it far nw in thousand needles, or closer to the shimmering flats, cause i'm down by the flats

Yea for some reason i missed reading the part that says "These seem to wander around the NE part of the zone."

sorry for the waste of time =P

Edited, Sun Aug 7 14:53:08 2005

评论来自 Allakhazam

I've killed about 10 of these kobolds and no ore...

评论来自 Allakhazam

I tried this quest, took me 5 hours to do, i took a tally of how many of the kobolds i killed. I killed 36 of them, and the ore never droped. So I dumped it.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Just finished this one, was heading to the 66,50 spot when one walked across the road in front of me at about 64,54. Dropped the ore, and a green axe as well.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Still looking at his body! he drop it for me as well

评论来自 Allakhazam

I did this solo at level 25 troll shaman. I killed a lvl 30 sovoyer and he dropped it.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I wanna add that kill the mob _while_ he is _digging_ (not after, not before, while he is swinging the pick)

评论来自 Allakhazam

At first, I read these posts, and thought this quest would take forever. But I just went to the NE part of 1k needles, right near Shimmering Flats, and I only had to kill 2 diggers to find the ore. And i got some sweet shoulders with the drop too.

评论来自 Allakhazam

But I only got 2350xp at level 30 :(

评论来自 Allakhazam

got a drop from a lone digger at 65,61 my first kill to, im so awesome lol

评论来自 Allakhazam

Where do you guys get the map coordinate mod? (Or a site that shows coords)

评论来自 Allakhazam

went up toward shimmering flats like the last post said and it droped on first kill.

apainasila lvl 30 tauren druid<SeeD>

评论来自 Allakhazam

lvl 25 troll hunter this one was a pain in the butt kept dyiing from getting atacked by local animals higher level

评论来自 Allakhazam

yep, the one at 66, 50 kill alot of others on my way to that one and he's the one that dropped it.

评论来自 Allakhazam

found mine off gibblesnick at 60, 58 or southeast of freewind post. he wasn't digging, just roaming around. Fairly easy kill. he also dropped some decent gloves

评论来自 Allakhazam

That is freaky! I've had this quest in my queue for a long time and I never got one when I was trying, I looked it up here on a whim and saw the 66,50 coords. I walk over there and it drops off the only kobold in the area, right at the same spot. Awesome!

评论来自 difuz

Found it off a Gravelsnout Digger at 58,56 Windbeak Canyon

评论来自 Eminence

Found a couple around 65,51 - 67,51

Killed multiple throughout my questing in the zone, but finally it dropped from there.

i'd say, do not walk to 1k needles just for this quest, you're gonna be wasting your time. do it as part of other quests

评论来自 cptmyname

Only the Gravelsnout Surveyors and Diggers can drop the ore sample, as well as the rare mob Gibblesnik. Don't bother with any of the other Kobolds in the zone.

The drop rate on the ore sample is actually quite high, provided you manage to find a kobold, but they don't group together anywhere and they're few and far between across the zone, so you'll waste most of your time just trying to find one. It's not really worth going out of your way to do this quest unless you're a completionist or you want Orgrimmar rep, considering the reward for this is as vendor trash as vendor trash gets.

评论来自 Tabbynka

The location, where I found a minner "Gravelsnout Digger" with a visibled "full bag of minings" on his back were 11.5 / 22.3. It takes ~20 mins for me to found him with an expected good :)

评论来自 Furydeath

Super fun quest 4 total mobs who can drop it and only like a 40% chance fun fun

and they seem to have a long respawn so come in an a hour and might get another shot.

评论来自 evlyxx

Doesn't drop for the group :( 7th circuit around all spawn points and only 1 dropped so far
