  • Basilisk Tooth (Good News & Bad)

    Well, I have some good news and bad news for all of you trying to locate the Basilisk Tooth for DoN cultural smithing recipes for a few races.

    GOOD NEWS - I have found the zone and the mobs that drop the "Basilisk Tooth".

    BAD NEWS - They drop in Veeshan's Peak! VERIFIED TONIGHT!!


    As I seen mentioned on other threads about finding these elusive components, someone mentioned Veeshan's Peak so I decided to check it out. I took my 4 different toons (4 different accounts, 2 ea played on 2 different pc's) who are all keyed for the updated VP and low and behold, that's where the mobs are that drop the teeth and right at the iz area. I killed about 10 <<a lava basilisk>> and got 2 "Basilisk Tooth". I killed 10 more of the same mobs and no teeth dropped. I just camped all my toons right next to the Sky Fire outzone (which is just a very, very short distance west of the iz) and pulled the mobs from the lava. Having your resist fire up decreases the amount of damage taken in the lava while pulling mobs out and onto the strip of rock by the SF oz. My War with only 227 resist fire would take 125 pts a tick of damage from the lava. The mobs are a little tough hitting for a high of 582 with my War's ac at 1817. The mob is partially slowable and did not resist when tashed. Mob also summons.

    The other really bad thing about the location of these drops is that VP is not as easy to get access for as before the revamp. Simply having the old key will not let you enter VP anymore. You need about 50-60 of your servers best equipped players to down the spawned dragon in SF and then loot one of many items that spawn all the ground around the dragon once dead. You can read up on that somewhere else. I'm nowhere near the best equipped on The Nameless but was lucky enough to join the fight the day after the VP patch was released.

    Good luck in your cultural smithing adventures!

    All The Best!

    Thanks for posting this. I have a couple of questions for you.
    Do the basilisks summon? Did you find any racnar hides there?
    Cheers

      A: Yes the mobs do summon.

      A: I didn't find any Racnar Hides because I actually was there for the Lava Basilisks only which are in the lava at the in-zone, and that's the only mobs I killed. There are Racnar's in the zone but I didn't want to take any faction hits so I didn't even try for any other mob. The Basilisks do not give a faction hit of any kind btw.

      Also, I added a couple images. Hope they show up as I'm not too skilled with this yet.

      All The Best!

        Please tell me this is an April Fools joke... I think I'm actually giving up on smithing if the only way I can make the Master's Armor (which I wouldn't even use) is to get key'd for the revamped VP...

          I'm hoping it's a bad April Fools Joke too, but the other master level cutlural drops have been found. I've sent in a feedback to sony (the in game one) to complain about it, if it does actually drop in VP. This is a first time for this... but I'd recommend a full on spam fest to sony about basilisk teeth dropping in VP... Hope their found somewhere else...

            Unfortunately, this was NOT an April Fools joke. VP is where I have found the Basilisk Tooth to drop.

              Well I'm glad they don't give faction hits at least. I'm ally in VP and still working on 1 or 2 of the quests.

              That is a HORRIBLE place to put tradeskills drops though.

                    3. Find something other than Basilisk Tooth to use for that recipe. You should probably use them all up before the next patch
                    This according to Absor on the EQlive boards.

                      Basilisk tooth=great reptile tooth

                      - Changed the name of the Basilisk Tooth to be Great Reptile Tooth.
                      - Great Reptile Teeth can now drop off crocs in Plane of Earth and Plane of Nightmare.

                      Hooray

                        No Great Reptile Tooth found yet in PoN =/

                        So far this morning, I've spent two hours in PoN killing crocs for this new tooth that took the place of Basilisk Tooth used in DoN cultural armor. Killed nearly 30 croc's so far and not one tooth has dropped. I did loot 2 teeth called "Enormous Croc Tooth" but none of the newly inserted "Great" ones as mentioned in the patch.

                        I'll keep killing and keep you posted

                          After 10 more min of farming, I finally got my first tooth to drop. Magic item, stackable, wt: 0.5, size: tiny, This item can be used in tradeskills. Glad to have found one cause I was getting discouraged yet again!

                            So far I've killed 46 crocs in PoN, not 1 of the reptile teeth. There's only 6 crocs in entire zone so if you wanting or needing plan on being there for a long while.

                              Got 2

                              After 2 rounds of killing them picked up a tooth each time this afternoon. It's on the uncommon side, but at least it's more feasible then getting into VP.
