Commentaire de Sisarkana

La quête peut ne pas fonctionner pour les chasseurs ou les démos, il faut qu'ils renvoient leurs familiers et se battent seuls.

Commentaire de 232527

Comme la dit Sisarkana, la quête bug avec les pets. Pour être un peu plus précis, il ne faut PAS que la cible des crocilisques soit votre pet pour que le kill compte.

Le plus simple a mon avis, est de tuer votre crocilisque normalement, mais de lancer un Trait provocateur à la fin pour qu'il vous cible lors de sa mort.

Just move to the waters around the farm (45.8, 56.9) and throw down your totem. Kill a few crocklisks while the totem is up (it lasts 2 minutes and you can only throw it down every 2 minutes).

Be on the lookout for a named crocklisk that wanders those waters. I can't find the quest for him at the moment on Wowhead, but you get it at the Hunter's Rise in Thunderbluff.

Commentaire de Lorkyn

It may have just been me, but I had to put a new totem down for each one instead of killing several while the totem was available.

Commentaire de Dregor

In order for me to get this to work on my hunter I seem to have to be meleeing the croc, as well as the one tanking it.

Commentaire de 61487

Quest bugged for me, no way when or how near i put down the totem - i saw it zipping to the croc, but i got no counts for them.

Commentaire de 51068

In order for the kill to be counted toward the quest you must have aggro at the point where the mob dies. So, if you're a class that uses a pet (warlock, hunter) then make sure to get aggro from your pet onto yourself.

As a level 43 warlock, I turned off Torment on my Voidwalker and pulled the crocs near to the totem, dotted them up and then used Drain Life.

Note: The max range of the totem seemed to be between 5 - 8 yards and I could kill multiple crocs per totem.

Commentaire de 88521

I would say, pull them on to the totem. 1-2 steps are enough far for losing that mob :S As 44 lock the best way was to standing on totem, dots on crocs, sacrifice VW, then Hellfire.

Commentaire de 100642

Drywallow Daggermaw gives credit for this quest aswell. Though the totem can only be placed in the Quagmire. Meaning you can pull the Daggermaws into the area.

Commentaire de 104228

I found as a mage the best way to do this is to plant the totem in the middle of the water and range pull to it.

Commentaire de 95381

Con la quest ti viene dato un totem.
Utilizzalo e uccidi i coccodrilli facendoli avvicinare al tomem.

Attenzione solo uccidendo il coccodrillo vicino al totem ti dira che avrai preso un pezzo per la quest

Commentaire de cms2k

Qwirk: had 2 in our party on the same quest. Put out 2 totems by accident. When we killed the croc, we both go credit for 2 kills. That's 1 kill, 2 credits per person on quest.

Commentaire de Rasztra

I also experienced the 1 kill per totem bug. The totem is on a 2 minute cooldown, which means you will spend at a minimum 20 minutes doing this quest if you aren't in a group.

Commentaire de 90137

Just tested 2 min ago. You must have aggro when the croc dies. Confirmed that works on any kind of crocolisk. I had killed 3 of them with a single totem.

Commentaire de NiklasNikke

Note: If you are mage and using Frost nova and then KILL it while it's in Frost nova... You want get credit for 1 kill...Then don't kill it while it's in Frost nova

You just NEED to get aggro when you KILL it..the you'll get credit for 1 kill

Commentaire de 36692

As a hunter, you *DONT* want your pet to have agro while the croc mob dies. Make sure you somehow get agro the moment before it dies (after deploying the totem) I ended up kiting the mob around with Wing Clip and Concussive Shot, but feel free to turn off Growl on your pet and train your weapon skills :-)

Commentaire de 110539

You can kill multiply crocs with a single totem (now - 2.3?)

Commentaire de Abundantia

Just did this quest. You can kill multiple mobs during a single totem cast. Also they do not have to be the mottled drywallow crocolisks, you can use the others which are around. Personally I did about half and half with the drywallow daggermaws which were the other side of the path to Tabetha's farm.

Commentaire de azagdoth

i placed the totem i killed a few crocolisks but nothing happened. whats going on?

Commentaire de 118789

you prolly did not have aggro when it died. I ran into the same thing at first, but as they got closer to death, I pulled off my VW and finished him with my shadow Bolt or my wand and I got the credit. As a lvl 37 lock, I was able to kill 2 crocs per totem.

Commentaire de 100152

Basic demo lock strategy:

-Do your normal rotation while letting your VW tank him until the Croc has about 40% life left (send in VW, immolate, Curse of Agony, Corruption, then wand).
-Spam Searing Pain until it is dead.

Flawless.

Commentaire de 118517

Very frustrating quest for a BM hunter solo. Even with my pet's growl off I was not getting credit for some reason. I finally teamed up with another hunter (so we could get two for each one) and we still had to slug it out. Finally enlisted the aid of my druid friend and it went quickly. This game mechanic should be changed in my opinion. The quest is not worth the frustration.

Commentaire de 38589

This quest is a pain in the ass for hunters. You can't seem to pull a mob to the totem or FD to get credit. ^&*!ing stupid.

Commentaire de 63881

One thing that helped me a lot was to use Scare Beast. Being a BM hunter my melee wasn't too great, but if I just used Scare Beast it was easy peasy! Didn't even use my pet!

Commentaire de 78891

One thing that no one has mentioned is that you have to kill the right mobs. The Snappers WON'T COUNT! It must have the word Crocolisk in it's name for it to count.

Commentaire de 143766

im not sure if this happened to anyone else, but i got bugged out and the totem wouldnt get the tests... i logged out and back in and it worked.

make sure you're getting the tests before wasting the time of killing them.

Commentaire de Noobiedoobie

I discovered a few things while doing this quest.
1. I HATE CROCODILES
2. Though I completed it, I'd have to say this quest is the most ANNOYING quest my level 40 hunter has done to date.

Commentaire de 110246

This quest is a PAIN. In order for the kills to count you can be no farther than 2 steps from the totem. Also the area of crocs is fairly large.

Commentaire de 104949

The crocks are level 38-40mobs and are found near the waters

The totems only last 1 min

Be sure you have agroo in the end and not your pet

You should also kill the orange spiders around the area also to complete the quest The Regent Thief

Commentaire de 85439

A frost-spec'd mage's Frostbite (chance to freeze the target for 5s) also causes the mob to detarget you. If you kill the mob whilst it's in this state it won't count for this quest.

Commentaire de 158785

I found this pretty easy but used my wand to get what i was after then my pet didn't get in the way and was a help rather than a burden warlocks are better using there wands for this then you get your reward :)

Commentaire de 152323

You can plant the totem after the battle starts and still get credit for the test. Good idea to hot key it.

Commentaire de 165031

i can confirm the "aggro" requirement.

As a mage, i was using Frost Nova and CoC/Arc explosion, but due to Frost Nova they stopped targetting me, thus i wasnt getting the credit.

Mages: Don't frost nova! (or stand in melee range, if you want to nova for the +crit)

Commentaire de 165882

Easy quest

1-Locate Mottled Drywallow Crocolisks or Drywallow Daggermaws
2-Place the totem on the ground
3- Kill crocolisk

You can find all crocolisks around The Quagmire
Good luck!

Commentaire de 163163

The quest is easier than I thought, I had my minion out and couldn't work out why I wasn't getting the kills. Basically stand close to the marsh, deploy the totem and then kill the croc close to the totem. Just a tip, place your totem in between as many crocs as possible because it takes 2mins to cooldown.

Edit: Spelling errors

Commentaire de 164835

For warlocks you DEFINATELY want to melee for the killing blow. I must have killed about 10 crocs with spells & never got credit for them. I switched to my melee weapon to kill them & started getting all my kills to count. Played wear & tear on my healing potions but worked over all.

Commentaire de 46244

If you watch as a croc dies while under the effect of the totem, there is a shadow bolt type animation that goes from the croc to whatever it's targeting. This is the reason the croc needs to be targeting you when it dies; this bolt has to hit you for you to get credit.

And, contrary to previous posts, you don't have to melee the croc; ranged and spells do give you credit. Just make sure your totem is still up, it's within range and the croc is targeting you when it dies and you won't have any trouble.

Commentaire de 152565

i dont know if it was just me or not but sometimes everything would be perfectly fine and i wouldn't get credit for some random kills. They were the correct crocolisks, in range of the totem, in the quagmire, and i'm a mage so no pet problems. the only reason i can think that it didn't work is that maybe the "test" that this quest is based around can fail randomly or something.

Commentaire de Badman996

If you party with someone while doing this quest, make sure both totems are down at the time of killing. It will count as 2 kills if you have 2 totems down. Party with 5 people and you get the quest completed in 2 kills.

Commentaire de bsides

Hunters, be aware. If you have the crocs as your PETS, the totem will channel him instead of the mobs. This quest is buged in so many ways =/

Commentaire de 203649

As a hunter i made my pet pull and let it get enough agro. Then i put it on shy and healed it. While it was still be agroed and healed i was shooting it. If this is done well it is a very good method of not getting agro yourself.

Commentaire de 91984

I've been kiting these guys on my hunter.

Left my boar on passive.

IT is a bit of a PITA to kite these guys with any effectiveness and not pull fifteen bajillion mobs onto me. But, I guess its good practice?

Commentaire de Grados

As of patch 3.0.2, as a BM specced hunter, the quest works properly.

That is to say, my pet had agro, and did the killing blows on crocodiles, and I got credit. And here I was dreading this quest on my new hunter, heh.

Commentaire de 69288

Im really the only one gettin double credit when killing the crocs?

Commentaire de satelitko

When you have multiple crocs affected by the totem, each kill will count for as many affected. Dunno if it's a bug but it's really helpful.

Commentaire de 240910

Does anyone else find this quest a little odd? The totem you're testing doesn't appear to have any impact on the crocs, and Apprentice Garion just seems to give up on it. Seems a little pointless, or it's just another unfinished Dustwallow Marsh quest?

Commentaire de 52086

Either its bugged, or it gives you 2 credits for 1

Commentaire de Maledicta

Just completed as a level 39 hunter. Thought it would be complicated after reading some of these comments, but it was really simple. I just went to areas with lots of crocs, threw down the totem, set my pet to passive, pulled the mob into totem range and used melee attacks. Once you've got the first blows in yourself you can set your pet to defensive (or leave on passive but use Claw, like I did) and you still get the credit. I think provided you stay within melee range when the mob dies you'll get the test. Some did give two credits but that's a good thing! When I handed the quest in I got 3900 XP.

Commentaire de 74836

still giving 2 credits as of 3.0.9

Commentaire de VioletDidi

Does not work on Ripscale.

Commentaire de 223389

I have a feeling that if a DOT kills the croc, you won't get credit. I was stuck at 8/10 for a while then I just used direct damage spells and I got the last two credits.

Commentaire de 30941

To get a kill for the quest you have to kill the croc while it's affected by the debuff from the totem. The debuff is activated, then lasts a few seconds and then activated again and so on, so you have to time it well.

Also as previously stated, one kill (currently) counts as two.

Commentaire de 358155

To be very honest this is the easiest quest I have done so far. Just set it on the water and aggro a crock and they count twice so if you have to get 10 like the quest says so just kill 5 and you will be done with it. hope this helps.!

Commentaire de Geppettophile

This quest is both bugged and confusing, so here's a summary of what you need to know:

Only the two types of crocolisks listed within the quest text can give credit. Named crocolisks do not give credit.

If a pet gets the killing blow on a crocolisk, you may not get credit.

If a crocolisk is killed while the totem's debuff is not affecting it, you will not get credit.

One kill will often give double the credit.

Commentaire de Catriona

Very bugged indeed. After my first few giving me double credits, I'm getting none no matter how many I kill. Looks like the only way to fix it might be to abandon/retake the quest.

Commentaire de Qariz

clearly bugged, luckily for us for the better :P You only have to kill 5 crocs near the totem 'stead of the intended 10 :)
Edit: Uuuugh, seems Blizz "fixed" the quest, so now i'm lucky if i get even one "count" per kill <.<

Commentaire de Skreeran

What the hell does the totem even do?

Commentaire de 246648

As a frost mage, here's what I've found out:

I killed multiple crocs (with one totem) while frozen, so that doesnt seem to be the issue. However, if the mob doesnt have the totem affecting it (nothing to do with range), which is the bolt animation (if you target the croc, you can see it - it's about 1 second cooldown till the totem casts again), it doesnt count.

About the 2-credit-1-kill:
First kill: 1 credit
Following kills: 2 credits

When I killed 3 crocs with one totem, it didnt recount for all the ones I've killed either (I thought maybe this could happen, since the totem also bolts the dead crocs).

Hope it helps.

Commentaire de 421346

as of 7/06/2009 it is still bugged. i just spend half an hour killing crocs because the kills werent being counted. i was in the quagmire, i was not in a raid group (and why would i be at 39) i am a warrior so no pet to steal argo. it seems (at least for me) that the kills will only be counted as long as the debuff from the totem is active. the debuff lasts for about 2 seconds has a 1-2 second downtime then starts again. my problem was my killing blows were landing in that downtime so the kills were not being counted. it was only when the killing blow landed during the debuff that the kill counted.

and it still counted as 2 >.> this quest is likly to never be fixed.

Commentaire de 410279

Don't know about you guys, but I only had to kill 5 of the crocs, as each kill counted as two for some reason. :D

Commentaire de Jubjub

The totem debuff MUST be up on the crocolisk when it dies to count as credit for the quest.
I am also still getting 2 points per croc as of 11/7/09.

Commentaire de 2484

It seems like reactive damage also would cause you to not get credit for the kill.
I was running my pala through this quest and after getting double credit for the first croc, i got zero credits for the next 4 crocs. Changed from Retribution Aura to Devotion Aura and voila I was getting credits for all kills after that.

Commentaire de trillz

For me its bugged on my lock it doesnt give me credit at all Ive even dismissed my pet, kept it on passive, everything I didnt get credit for one kill.

Commentaire de 21819

It is still buggy as of 3.1

-Credit for 2 is still being given
-Killing with a Spell will often cause you to gain no credit

If running as boomkin I was never getting credit, moment I switched to cat form I started getting double creds.

Commentaire de 335945

Istarted and finished this quest just west of the pond in front of Tabethas house. You only need to kill 5 Crocolisks to finish the quest but you must make sure the Crocolisks are under the effect of the Captured Totem in order for the kill to be counted. You will not get the kill if the debuff effect is not active on the Crocolisks. Some classes might not have any trouble with this but for caster classes, you may need to change your rotation up a bit.

To some this may be obvious but it may confuse some at first. Get the finishing blow while the Captured Totem debuff is active on the Crocolisks.

This bug has been fixed in patch 3.2.

Commentaire de ellmo

At 8/10 it refused to count crocs anymore. I killed 5 of them and nothing.
Stupid quest.

Commentaire de illusine

don't now about the last post that said otherwise but you still don't get credit if your pet has agro. tip for locks, put you vw on passive and use sacrifice. was getting chewed up pretty bad until i thought of that!

Commentaire de Carnagefiend

This quest has been fixed. 1 kill per crocolisk in 3.2.

Commentaire de 135951

doin this quest on my shammy right now, the mobs get a 2sec debuff from the totem but there seems to be a space where there isnt any debuff on them between pulses, i didn't get credit when the debuff wasn't on them. just pointing it out because i spent a good 10 minutes getting frustrated with the quest.

Commentaire de BaconSupreme

It seems reverse-bugged in patch 3.2; sometimes when I kill a croc (by myself, my pet's just watching the ENTIRE TIME) I get NO credit. I hate this quest.

Commentaire de fraeg

The totem puts a debuff on mobs called "Captured Totem" which lasts for 2 seconds, then there is a short pause before this debuff is re-applied. I noticed if there are multiple mobs (including corpses) the debuff might get applied to something else. I also noticed that when I killed crocs that did not have the debuff, I did not get credit towards the quest.
So, I am deducing that you need to kill a croc while it has the debuff in order to get credit towards the quest.

Commentaire de Lillfot

As of 3.2, it appears that you must kill the Crocs DIRECTLY on top of the Totem.

Commentaire de dongjinkim

For some reason I only get credit when I kill the crocolisk under the following conditions:

- it has the debuff from the totem (totem doesn't keep the crocolisk debuffed 100% of the time)
- you have to give the killing blow (get rid of pets and Molten Armor)
- you have to give the killing blow while it's low on HP (i.e. you can't one shot it from 100% -> 0%)

As a level 80 Mage, I was one shotting these crocolisks and not getting credit, so I had to melee them down until they were around 30% HP. Once they reached that level, I stopped meleeing, waited for the totem to apply the debuff, then used an instant cast spell to kill them for credit.

Commentaire de DarthOej

As of patch 3.2, this quest appears to be bugged again. Totally sucks doing this as a hunter. Ive read and tried all of the above methods but to no avail. The only time I get credit is when I have aggro over my pet AND when I land a melee killing blow on the croc.

Commentaire de Nathiest

Well I guess they fixed the bug that allowed to give two credits per kill because now it gives none!

Commentaire de Savaena

Needless to say this was a very frustrating quest for me. I did not receive credit for each kill, although I was in the Quagmire (that is very important). It only seems to give me credit when I have the totem in the water and would even bug out and try to interact with dead crocolisks. Another frustration you may come across is that the crocs are very spread out and with the cool down, it was kind of annoying. Unless you absolutely need the experience, I would recommend avoiding this quest. It only awards 45 silver anyways.

Commentaire de 57561

Doing this now on a rogue (alone), I have been getting either 1 or 0 credits per kill. I couldn't figure out a pattern, it didn't seem related to what abilities I used to kill the mobs or the specific kind of mob. Very frustrating given the spread of the crocolisk spawns and the absurd 2 minute cooldown on the totem.

Commentaire de 459574

Well, im a hunter lvl 37.
My strategy was: Just attack with pet and everything else, then when the mob get about 200 HP use Distracting Shot and an Arcane shot to finish him.

Commentaire de 30174

In addition to all the above, this quest is about eighty kinds of annoying to do at max level, since you tend to one shot the crocs, and the totem has a 2 minute cooldown, you end up having to equip some holiday weapon (brewfest tankard, say) just so you can get a hit in and kite it back to the totem without killing it.

Ugh.

Commentaire de 440452

or anyone wondering until i read this forum i was like how the hell do u do it but u do have to t time it right look at the totem and how long it has left as its spinning right next to your other cast boxes and try and hold off killing it till it starts over again i dont know if that made sense lol and as far as deadmire i couldnt find him till i headed back to turn in this quest and he was right there so right between the qaugmire almost to tabithas farm but he moves alot so i cant give accurate cords im a 41 priest it was easy for me

Commentaire de Stone

As a frost-specced mage, I encountered the same issues as a poster above... when the croc was frozen by Frostbite or Frost Nova I did not get credit for the kill.

An additional thing I did not see posted here was that when I used Blink to get closer to the totem, I also did not get credit for the kill.

Using Fireball, Fire Blast, and Scorch exclusive from any freezing or blinking allowed me to get credit for the kill

Commentaire de Kinni

Now make sure that whenever you kill a croc, the totem is up or you won't get a quest update.

There is a particular problem for hunters, mages and warlocks for this quest. The mob must have you in target when it dies, or it doesn't work. For warlocks this is less of a problem, just summon an imp and tank yourself while dotting. For mages, just make sure the mob is not frost nova'd when you finish it. But for hunters it's a little different especially if you are beastmastery specced and don't have your weaponskill maxed.

Commentaire de amythe

3.2.2, and this quest is still bugged. As a warlock, I've tried the following things and gotten credit for none of the kills:

Curse of Agony killing the mob
Shadow Bolt killing the mob
Corruption killing the mob
Wand shot killing the mob.
Pet killing the mob.

I'm giving up on this quest for now.

Commentaire de AmadiaHS

this quest isn't bugged

was able to get credit every single time as long as the debuff that the totem applies to the croc was up when the croc died. the totem has a 3 second debuff it applies to the croc, then approx 2 secs of nothing, then 3 second debuff again. good luck

Commentaire de Hyde

This might seem a bit odd, but try getting the killing blow to be white damage. I didn't have too much practice with this (mainly because when I got my 10 I did not want to keep killing crocs) but it seems when I finished off one of them with white damage it registered. I can't possibly explain why that would work but it did.

Just my 2 cents

Commentaire de vanillaqueen

I've done this quest on three characters, and I've noticed that you don't get credit for the crocs unless you have your totem out before entering combat. So if the crocs attack you first, you don't get credit, even if you bring the totem out. Quite annoying.

Commentaire de 461807

Why this quest hasn't been fixed boggles my mind. Actually, so does the fact I'm bothering to do it.

If it isn't riddled with bugs, it's incredibly poorly designed, which is even worse.

Commentaire de Korasoff

I've got a bug too, but I've killed 20 crocs and only gotten credit from 3 of them.

and yes I am killed the right crocs :p

If you're not getting credit, it's because the crocs are dying when the totem buff is actually not applied. See comment by Feralfire here.

If it helps, l think a lot of the problem stems from the fact that theres actually a 'catpured totem' debuff that gets applied. however, it seems to last perhaps 1-2 seconds, then has a 1 second cooldown or so (hard to tell exactly.) What you can do is time your killing blow for most classes till you see the debuff on the croc, then kill. It took me 3-4 crocs to realize that, but l think that may be partly whats interfering with the pet issue.

Commentaire de 465199

I did this quest with relatively little effort, and just followed what the quest requested me to do (as a Shaman) and received credit upon every kill.

I was aware that the quest had been pretty whacky in the past, and just recently my brother attempted the quest on his Druid and couldn't get the quest to function. After reading comments and trying these, they didn't seem to work out well.

I noticed that if he aggro'd crocodiles, THEN dropped the totem down on the crocodiles, he would receive credit for the kill regardless of if he already damaged the crocodiles or if the debuff fell off for a few seconds.

I'm almost absolutely certain that the debuff is pretty much irrelevant to gaining credit and you will get 100% credit for just dropping the totem after aggroing rather than pulling crocodiles into the already dropped totem. It's very likely the pet issues are a problem, though I never had to experience it.

Commentaire de SoupNBread

It took me a bit to figure out, but the if the mob dies without the debuff(didn't notice it had a debuff) you get no credit, so time your attacks.

Commentaire de DukeofArgyll

The best way I have found to get credit as a hunter, is to put your pet on passive and simple melee the mobs down. You have to watch the debuff the totem puts on the mobs though, if last for about a second and is reapplied every 2 seconds, if you kill the mob when they do not have the buff you don't get credit.

Commentaire de 424187

A quick guide for Mages:
Use frostbolt and get them down to around 200 health.
Wait for the debuff to pop up from the totem
Blast them with fireblast.

I recommend putting the totem in a spot near the river with multiple crocodiles.

Commentaire de lra01

Thanks for the tips. It was not obvious what to do especially as a Hunter (lvl 40) and I was not getting credit for kills. Finally just dismissed my pet, threw up a totem, and used ranged shots to draw the crocs to me and the totem, then just hack them up as the totem also zaps them (no timing or pet aggro issues then).

Commentaire de 501217

An annoying thing about this quest is that the debuff doesn't appear to be on the crocs at all times. I had to time my attacks near perfect to be able to kill them within the time the debuff shows on the target and I ended up killing several times more crocs then should be needed.

Commentaire de rov4416444

Near as I can figure, if the mob dies from thorns-like procs or mirror damage abilities, you do not get credit. I had a lot of trouble with this on my paladin until I turned off retribution aura and seal of command.

Basically, you want to do direct damage to these guys.

Commentaire de 532873

This is the first time I have felt the need to comment. This quest is by far the most annoying quest I have done, whilst leveling (and I already have 2x80's).

On my Warlock the only reliable way I found to do this:

1. Put pet on passive and keep them there due to previously mentioned 'pet gets killing blow, no credit comment'
2. DoT up the crocs
3. Cast 'Shoot' until the croc dies.

I tried using drain life, drain soul, turning off VW taunt etc, nothing was reliable.

Commentaire de Waylo

I spoken with the Game Masters on the Hunter bug. They are aware of this issue.
I've tested them and here's what Hunters have to do for the time being:

Fight in hand-to-hand combat (No Pets Allowed)
Drop the totem
Fight with your mana abilities up to 10% health of your target
At 10% health, only use your weapons. No Mana Allowed

Commentaire de BigGuy

I didn't have the time to read all the comments, but while searching here for druid I didn't find any druid specific solution, so here's what I've discovered:

You must turn off Throns, otherwise it might do the killing blow and you won't get credit.
I'm not sure, but I think DOT's killing blows doesn't count as well, so don't kill using Rake or Rip or any other DOT when the croc is low on HP
The killing blow doesn't have to be white damage (as long as it is not a DOT damage), meaning you can use spells

Well that's everything I could think of for now. Enjoy your questing.

Commentaire de Vonara

The quest will only give one credit per kill now, but the totem debuff still has to be on the croc as it dies. Murphy's Law applies itself quite generously during this quest, and expect at least 3+ kills to be wasted because the debuff wasn't active.

Commentaire de 553140

Make sure you are in the Quagmire. If you are a hunter, you will have to use all of your melee skills. I recommend aspect of the Viper so that you can regenerate mana, even if you get less in damage aspects. First put your pet on passive. Find your target croc while standing in the water. Plant the totem, and then mark your croc. When he moves in on you, set your immolation trap, then go for Mongoose and Wing clip over and over. Keep your pet entirely out of it because when the pet is used, it seems that the quest requirement is not met. Once the croc has died, make sure to skin it if you are a skinner. But at the very least loot it.
It does not help to have two crocs come at you. I never got more than one target even while battling both. I completed this quest in 12 minutes as a level 44 Draenei Hunter.

has to be one the most annoying quests there is, ive had to kill around 30 crocs in order for this to register 10. really annoying.

Commentaire de xathien

On my Prot pally today, I only got credit for about half the crocs I actually killed. I'm not sure if it was because I had ret aura up, or because the croc didn't have the debuff from the totem at the exact moment it died... but whatever was happening, it was rather annoying.

Commentaire de 524211

frustrating quest. only about 1/5 of the kills actually give credit (as a warlock).

Commentaire de TorachiKatashi

I have no way of expression how $%^&ing much I hate this quest. I've been killing these things for almost an hour now (about fifty crocs) and only three of them have been counted. Blizzard needs to get off their &*!@ing asses and fix the quests they already have before they start worrying about new content.

Commentaire de 411441

I appears you need a fresh totem to get credit. You used to be able to cast one totem and just pull a few crocs to it to get credit.

Commentaire de sivlah

The crocs MUST have the debuff on them when you kill them, there's about a second gap between the debuff casting so time it right.

Commentaire de 252534

Actually for hunters just dismis pet to do this quest

Commentaire de Leporp

This is a surprisely hard quest to do for a lvl 80. Holy priest as myself, I would kill and kill and so far only 7 have counted. Very poorly made quest imo.

One of the most annoying quests in the game

Commentaire de 581854

this quest is bugged as hell. if your gear and/or skill is too good (!) and the crocs die too fast, you don't get credit.

I've had multiple crocs dying near the totem, being zapped and all: guess what: NO credit.

lvl44 palladin (so, no, there isn't a pet involved), totem up and zappin'; but I pack The Kang and that baby smashes those pesky crocs in no time.

I had to switch to an inferior weapon to get the credits. the "buff animation" has to run a few times on each croc, or you won't get credit!

fortunately I still had that silly thing Chromatic Sword in my inventory (use it for 2H sword skill only) and that worked just fine.

still, it shouldn't be that way

Commentaire de 16002

In order to get credit for the kill make sure that:

The crocolisk has you as its target. Root effects and pets will be the most likely cause of it not targeting you. For roots such as Frostbite and Root, simply move into melee range of the crokolisk. For pet owners, let the pet sit out on this one.
The crocolisk is not under the effect of the totem. The mob will get a debuff about every 3-4 second, and last for 2ish seconds. You will only get credit if the debuff is on the crokolisk when you make the killing blow, make sure you time its death.

Worst quest ever for a hunter! Totally not worth the hassle and time invested! Ugh!

Commentaire de 195661

Shamans, if you have totems down, you might not get credit for your kills.

Commentaire de 617575

This quest sucks. You can only drop a totem once every 1.5 seconds, and you have to kill the croc while the debuff is on. The debuff doesn't happen immediately, it's short, and there's a pause between debuffs. So it has to die at just the right second.

I could only kill one croc per totem, even when there were two crocs right there, and I killed both during the debug. I did not get and sort of 2-for-1 credit, so I guess that they fixed that part of this buggy, asinine quest.

Wow, Blizz. You suck.

Commentaire de Gaffa

I don't think the croc targeting you is the issue at all on this quest. If you watch the totem de-buff carefully you'll note that the totem pulses every 4 seconds or so, however... the de-buff only lasts 3 seconds. The croc must die while it has the de-buff or you get no credit.

So the only real trick on this is to lower the crocks health to a point you can hit 1 shot kill abilities and wait for the de-buff to refresh and spam you're kill hits. You have 3 seconds to kill it at that point.

Commentaire de Evilfufu

This is the most poorly designed quest I've ever had to do.

The pet credit thing is still broken, and the totem for some reason targets only the dead crocolisks near the totem.

Commentaire de 62855

I think it's broken. After consulting wowhead to see why it wasn't working with my hunter, I tried it with with my pet on passive 100% of the time and killed it entirely by melee, wing clipping and shooting at close range (keeping croc in range of totem). I still am not getting credit when it dies.

Lame quest. Lots of the stuff in vanilla is pretty neglected these days. Looks like the later posts in this thread say you have to have the timing jut right with totem debuffs and killing the croc, even with melee. I think it's a good one to skip as it's more trouble than it's worth unless it is a pre-quest for something major.

Commentaire de 206461

I'd just like to add that this ought to be nominated for one of the most annoying quests in the game.
1) You have to time your kill so that it does not coincide with the buff cd from the totem.
2) The totem has an inexplicable CD of 2 minutes.
3) The totem does nothing useful.
4) It will occasionally continue to target a dead mob, so that you won't get credit for the live ones that it also targets.
5) There is no good place to put the totem so that you can get the mobs grouped near it.
6) If you are trying to acheive Loremaster, often times even a single wand hit will crit and kill the mob before it gets the buff.

I hate this quest.

Commentaire de Catriona

Could not get the croc to even get a debuff today. It can't be that I'm in the wrong place as it only works in the Quagmire, and I checked four times to make sure I had the right mob. 13 toons and only one has ever been able to finish this quest!

Commentaire de missbenedict

did this quest as a hunter, with my pet dismissed and auto attack melee for the entire kill. still had to kill about 30 crocs to get the full 10 credits.

HEY BLIZZ YOUR QUEST IS BROKED

Commentaire de canes

This Qst is really pain for huntards. O dont know how Grados did it, but:
- when my pet aggroes and doesnt do killing blow - no credit
- when I aggro and my pet does killing blow - no credit
- when I aggro and my pet doesnt do killing blow - still no f**** credit!

So the only thing for me was to dismiss pet and try it to kill myself. BUT!
Sometimes its behaving really strange, because that ray from totem also affects SOME dead crocolisk. Not every dead but only few dead... Dunno why, but it does and if you kill unaffected croco - no credit.

I am glad that Cataclysm is coming...

edit: While I was posting this comment. Croco killed me -.- ...it just sux.

Commentaire de 583440

I wonder if I can just take the totem (for future use) and walk away from this busted quest :?

Commentaire de Ohls

I noted that the totem does a debuff on the croc that last a few seconds and then dissapears for some seconds. The croc must die with the buff on, wich means that you have to time their death exacly.

This quest blows.

Commentaire de 817580

If you're aWarlockor a Hunter bring plenty of food, because you have to put your pet or demon on passive and do this on your own or your kills don't coun t

Commentaire de 816161

Quest worked for me just fine. One second cool down on the totem walk near them drop the totem kill them within a few yards of the totem and get credit for the kills.

Commentaire de lra01

JUST COMPLETED - SO IT IS NOT OBSOLETE OR DISABLED. Recommend that you follow the tips to dismiss or disable any pets or fighting companions you have. Did it with my Warlock Alt (so I made my demon passive and kill the crocs by myself while totem was active). Quest by itself is not very rewarding, but did it in combo with others so it was a pick up. Also could kill two crocs at once and got credit, so it was only 10 in a row once I got my demon out of the fight (probably could of used a lesser demon - imp or succi to complete but just flamed them all myself).

Commentaire de 998699

This quest is not obsolete; as I completed it today 12/27/2012. If you have a pet you must have aggro when the Croc dies; so turn your pet on passive before the Croc dies to gain aggro.

Commentaire de 759065

I was having trouble with this quest as a warrior a couple of months back and came here to seek the solution. Since it said it was obsolete I dropped it and didn't try again with any of my other toons until today. There was another person there and to save them time, I told them it was broke and don't bother, she said she just completed it with no issues at all. I was on my DK so I grabbed it and it worked fine. Give it a go!

L’Apprenti Garion, de la ferme de Tabetha, veut que vous testiez le Totem capturé sur 10 Crocilisques tachetés Sèchefange ou Crocs-lames Sèchefange.

	Tests du totem effectués (10)
	Totem capturé (Fourni) (1)

Description

La dernière fois que les Totems-sinistres nous ont attaqués, j'ai été blessé, mais avant j'ai pu m'emparer d'un étrange totem que nos ennemis utilisaient contre nous.

On aurait dit qu'il envoyait des éclairs d'énergie pendant la bataille, mais lors de toutes mes expériences, je n'ai pas réussi à découvrir comment il fonctionnait. Je vous prêterai ce totem si vous acceptez de m'aider à le tester.

Les zones humides qui entourent la ferme sont peuplées de sales crocilisques tachetés et de crocs-lames Sèchefange. Essayez de combattre les crocilisques près du totem.
