These are used for transferring your allegiance from Aldor to Scryers. A repeatable reputation quest - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=10025 - will take you up to Neutral with the Scryers at 250 rep per 8 Eyes, destroying your Aldor rep in the process.

Do not count on the AH to provide enough eyes for you to switch factions - few people save these, fewer farm them to sell and make money. You're probably going to have to grind out the drops yourself.

You're going to need 1344 of these to get Neutral with Scryers.

36000 (Hated) + 3000 (Hostile) + 3000 (Unfriendly) / 250 rep (per turn in) = 168 turn ins of 8 eyes each time. Prepare for some serious grinding and ask friends/guildmates for help.

Before the switch, I recommend saving up these eyes and higher level scryer turn in items (Firewing and Sunfury Signets, Arcane Tomes) so you can still use the benefits of Aldor shoulder enchants in case you replace gear.

Those 1344 at the 34% drop rate are 3953 monsters to loot.

(My personal rate is 25 eyes per hour, that makes it 54 hours. Hum... I should have started as a Scryer.)

Is there a comparable quest for going from Scryer to Aldor?

Comentado por Hegga

I grinded theese for 3 hours today as a fury warrior and I had to use 2 bandages in total. Bloodthirst get my HP up all the time.

I got 163 in that time.

Since no one has said it you can also get the meat off the Basilisks which is used to make one of the 23 spell damage 20 spirit foods which is really nice if your a caster and have to farm these.

says it gives sha'tar rep as well.. any way of doing these for the rep without losing scryer faction if i want to keep it?

Comentado por MethodGamer

I farmed these to switch Aldor to Scryer, and my farm rate was about 40 per hour. There's a nice little circuit you can do where the basilisks are all respawned at every lap. Start at 38.6, 16.4 in Terrokar (on the south shore of the lake), then make your way north north-west along the western shore of the lake. When you get to the top, head west to the road, and work your way down.

does the Human Diplomacy trait help at all?

Comentado por Elminstar

yes it does adds 10% to the gain as well as loss of rep currently trying to farm these on malygos as a mage wish blizzard had made it a "go kill X amount of Y" quest but i guess it works out since not many people are willing to do the grind to go from one to the other at higher levels of rep

Comentado por Anthara

Do you get to keep Aldor Exalted patterns (such as Golden Spellthread) after converting to Scryers? In other words, could I eventually have a tailor who can make both Golden and Runic Spellthreads by swinging factions?

Update: Can confirm that patterns learned as an Aldor remain when switching to Scryers. Shoulder enchants of the former faction can no longer be purchased nor applied.

How long would i spend on grinding those for swaping faction?
x hours a day for x days type of numers:)

Comentado por 267546

I would say around 20/30 hours total.
I usually do it when I'm grouped in raid going to Naxx and such. As you can't do dailys etc In 20 minutes or so you can get around 2 or 3 dozens.

Don't forget to buy the tabard and recipes before switching, if you like to collect them.

Comentado por Grenmoor

trying to change from Aldor to Scryer with my main, so i'm taking my DK along the rivers to collect them. 104 in maybe 2 hours? Too bad the Chompers don't drop them (as far as i've seen).

Comentado por 39891

I've been farming these myself now and I've managed to get up to 100-110/hour (yes, I timed it :| ).

Now, I'm doing this as a feral druid in 4 parts pvp set, that means 149.5% run speed, feral charge every 15 seconds and an instant cast flight form. Fast run speed > min-maxing dps, they die in a second anyway.

Basically, you follow the spawn points of Dampscale Devourer.
Start at the latitude of Stonebreaker Hold (53.42), follow the river south to Allerian Stronghold. Stick to the river until you reach the T intersection (63.45). Go east until you reach Firewing Point, then fly back to the intersection and start moving north. Reach the next T intersection east of Tuurem and follow the river east. Done! Fly back to the starting point and do it all over again, everything is respawned.

I tried the path around the northern lake and the respawns were so slow I wouldn't for my life farm there.

At least for me it only took ~14 hours of farming! (It isn't as bad as 40-50 hours of farming as some of the 2.0 comments here say it is)

Comentado por 343515

Well it took me less than 200 individual eyes to get back to neutral, but now I can't do the quest anymore. Is that typical?

Comentado por 385697

You can farm these on an alt with 62-66 level, that has a lot of rested bonus and heirloom shoulders. Along with eyes, you will gain experience points pretty quickly. Of course you won't level up as fast as while questing, but it's still a win-win. AoE classes and affliction warlocks work the best here imo.

If your alt have skinning, you can make a little profit too. Oh, and you can use the meat to make a nice buff food for your alt (if (s)he's a caster) or friends.

Comentado por 361816

I used THIS route when I was farming them. Got around 30 and up per "run" which gave 3-4 turn-ins. Started at 32.5,13.9 if you look at the map.

Note: Don't bother killing the Ironspine Chomper's since they don't drop the item, I made that mistake.

Comentado por 393077

Wow. This grind took much longer than I had expected. After a bit less than two hours(I think - had to test some different routes and such first) I only had 144 eyes. After I had those 144 eyes I decided that I would only farm "a few" eyes at a time; 100 or 200 eyes, and then do something else - so this took maybe two weeks for me.

I used my level 78 hunter BM specced with mining and skinning, so both of those adds some extra time. I used Aspect of the Cheetah when the mobs were close to each other and I only had 150% speed mount.

This is the route I used.

I simply followed the river. Instead of taking both sides of the river at the same time, I only took the mobs on one side, and then the other side on the way back. On some places the mobs are so many it's better to just gather them and aoe them down. Some places along the river there are like only one or no mobs, and these places I just skipped - you should be able to see them on the map.(##RESPBREAK##)2056##DELIM##adashiel##DELIM##

Drop rate is listed at about 1/3, but I've been grinding for about an hour and I'm getting about one for every 7 or 8 kills.

Comentado por 179720

104 per day is ok ) not slow,but fast enough

Comentado por 37183

Yeah the drop rate does seem way lower than what it says here. I seem to be getting one in every 7-10 kills and my record so far is 28 kills without a single one. either they lowered the drop rate or the counter in here is just wrong.

Oh well, I knew this grind was going to be long :)

Comentado por 672266

Seems to be ~30% for me... make sure you're killing the right ones. I'm getting around 40/hour (of very casual farming - watching tv, etc) doing the loop where Dampscale Devourers spawn.

Comentado por pixit

Well I'm sure I'm not the only one to comment on this but at least on this thread I didn't notice any other who did....

I wish to be exalted with Scryer (after being exalted with Aldor) because there is a Feat of Strength to do so. I can't remember the name darn it but I know it's there... and since we are now in Cataclysm I could care less about losing my Aldor status.

Also if this peaks any interest, this is similar to having to get both exalted with the Oracles and Frenziedheart. Anyone going for that achievement will want to work on Frenziedheart FIRST so they can end up with Oracles and farm the eggs from the vendor to try to get the green protodrake mount.

GL TO ALL!

At 250 rep per turn in and 42000 rep to reach Neutral...

...the 5% boost from Mr. Popularity (Rank 1) makes these worth 262 or 263 rep per turn in. Assuming the decimals balance out over time, you'll need 160 turn ins or 1280 eyes.

...the 10% boost from Mr. Popularity (Rank 2) OR the Human racial trait makes these worth 275 rep per turn in. That'll take 153 turn ins or 1224 eyes.

...the 15% boost for Humans with Mr. Popularity (Rank 1) makes these worth 287 or 288 rep per turn in, so 147 turn ins or 1176 eyes.

...and finally, the 20% boost for Humans with Mr. Popularity (Rank 2) makes these worth 300 rep per turn in, so 140 turn ins or 1120 eyes.

Happy farming!

Comentado por 794971

I have been casually farming these eyes in an attempt to switch from the Aldor to the Scryers. I decided I'd just farm the rest of the Eyes I needed.
Within one hour of farming I managed to get:
- about 44g worth of vendor trash
- about 131 eyes
- about 5 greens
-- 2g repair bill. =)

As a mage, I had close to zero downtime. I managed to get what I got with the help of:
- 2/2 Improved Blink (+70% run speed every 15 seconds)
- 310% Flying speed
- TRACKER SNACKS

The snacks are vital. Don't waste your time flying around hoping to find the basilisks. Being a mage, I usually pulled 2-5 at a time. Also, if you are a skinner... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME SKINNING.

I'm not sure how to add a screenshot to my comment, so I'll add one as a separate comment. The screenshot will outline my farming path.

Happy Hunting =)

Drop rate listed is incorrect. The correct drop rate is around 10-15%. Expect to be spending a lot of time if you're collecting eyes.

Comentado por 130626

I farmed the eyes around Silmyr Lake in northern Terokkar. After getting into my groove farming the basilisks, I started running some napkin math, and calculated that I was averaging about 115 eyes per hour of uninterrupted grinding.

I was farming with an 85 druid, with all available speed increases (enchants, talents, PvP set bonuses, 310% flight speed increase upped to 351% with the guild perk, etc.), popping Swift Flight Form frequently, making use of Feral Charge, Dash, and Stampeding Roar on CD, and ranged pulling the basilisks else-when. With all that going for me, it seems fair to say that 115-120 eyes per hour is about the best-case farming rate any player could hope for, barring some statistical oddity.

Comentado por 261861

After getting myself 1334 eyes to switch from Aldor to Scryers, I realised as I was handing them in that I had forgotten all about my guild perks.

Non humans with no guild perks should still need 1334 eyes.
Non humans with the level 4 guild perk need 1289 eyes.
Non humans with the level 12 guild perk need 1224 eyes.

Might save you at least some time farming, and imo, in this case, every damn minute counts. And oh, if my math turns out to be wrong, try telling it to me nicely. Thanks.

As I have a nasty tendency to try to get as much as I can out of any grinding I do, I ended up using my moderately geared (ilvl 333) Worgen Rogue to grind these.

In one hour, with level 25 guild perks, looting and skinning each mob and timed by the duration of my poisons and only having to use Mutilate to one shot the basilisks, I collected the following:

Grey items sold to a vendor for 29g 38s 67c
139 Chunks o' Basilisk auctioned for 23g 82s 46c
182 Knothide Leather Scraps auctioned for 132g 70s 25c
55 Knothide Leather auctioned for 301g 70s 25c
75 Fel Scales auctioned for 369g 76s 50c
38 Crystal Infused Leather auctioned for 11g 66s 22c
9 Greens vendored for 37g 40s 95c

...and of course, 96 Dampscale Basilisk Eyes that go for 5-10 gold whenever they show up on the AH but which I still need 400+ of for my faction change.

Not counting the eyes the gold made in one hour of grinding this comes to 906g 45s 30c. Add in the eyes and you are looking at 1400 to 1900 gold for one hour of work.

I'm not posting this to brag but to convince others that this grind is worth some decent gold at little risk...so I don't have to grind it myself any more.

Started farming these puppies and 6hrs into farming them I've collected 500 or so. Being at level 85, in epic gear, and having a nice +10% rep from Guild perps the total I need is ~1050. At this pace I'll be done in 12 game hrs, still a grind. My hat goes off to the non-Human grinders during the Burning Crusade days.

I'm farming these on an Affliction lock on behalf of my main. I start at the river fork east of Tuurem, follow the river east, double back and head south, do the next fork east, double back and head southwest and then up past the Alliance and Horde bases. By the time I get to Stonebreaker, the mobs at my starting point have long since respawned and I can hop over there to start another go-round.

I tag mobs with BoA and Corruption as I run, start Hellfiring when I feel the first mob is about to leash/reset, and Drain Life when there's one or two left. This usually nets me 3-6 mobs at a time. I'm using Demon Armor, and I have my Imp out for this as he doesn't usually steal aggro (Felpup's Bite often does, and while he can kill them there's one mob I have to backtrack to loot).

I wasn't sure if this would turn out any better than farming eyes on an 85 and levelling a character at normal speed and after doing it I'm still not sure. All the rest exp in the world doesn't make it anywhere near as fast as questing, much less dungeon or battleground queues. However I'm getting 80-90 eyes an hour at 67, which is not that far off of what 85s are reporting here, and I feel more productive getting experience for an alt at the same time (however little), so I'm going to stick with it.

If you decide to take this approach, I'd recommend starting at a lower level than the mobs. Yeah, it was slower and more dangerous mobbing them up at 62, but I'm only halfway to 1224 eyes and I don't know how much longer the 63s will remain green!

Comentado por zaheer12a

I tried to farm these as well, as a demonology Warlock. It took me two fel flames to kill the mobs. I managed to get around 130-140 eyes per hour (more than other people here have found). With this circuit you will pretty much be killing crocolisks non stop (mostly Devorador Escamáqua) and by the time you have completed it the mobs at the start have already respawned.

This is the circuit I took.

I'm currently in the process of swapping between Aldor ( I made sure to grab the Tabard) to Scryers. We were a lvl 25 guild that transfered realms and we lost all of our perks. So for me, I'm doing it the old fashion way, I need all 1334 of these.

This is a mindless grind no matter how you look at it. Overall, RNG has been kind to me, I've collected 650 so far and while the drop rates seem to be accurate, the respawn rate seems quick enough I'm not stopping and waiting. Hunters, use Cheetah and a Cat and they'll die before you reach them. As a skinner I could earn some cash, but for me time is more important when running in circles.

To break it up some, I head up to The Botanica and run that a few times at non heroic. As a lvl85 SV hunter, I can pretty much mass pull the D and clean house. Do this and you'll get enough Tomes and Signets to reach exaulted with the Scryers once you've collected all the eyes and turn them in.

Why is the drop rate so low when Basilisks have 3 eyes?

Comentado por Martika

There are a lot of posts here spanning back many years, and littered within them are both important accurate facts as well as wrong and/or outdated information. To spare future grinders the annoyance I had of figuring out what was true and what was not, here is the definitive guide to farming Dampscale Basilisk Eyes for Scyer reputation. This is accurate as of 08/08/2012.

WHY: The only real reason anyone would actively farm DBE is because they are making the switch from Aldor to Scryer; probably for the feat of strength achievement. You may also simply want the rep they bring, but it is not the most practical or speedy grind just for basic reputation. You may potentially want to grind to try and turn a buck, but know this is not very effective as it relies on someone on your server doing this grind AND wanting to pay for the help. THERE IS LITERALLY NO OTHER REASON TO GRIND THIS ITEM!

WHERE: Terokkar Forest. End of story. As is accurately reflected in this page, there is NO OTHER ZONE to farm DBE.

WHAT: Basilisks. And again, ONLY the ones in Terokkar. That being said, all four types drop DBE. There are the three variations - Devourer, Basilisk and Petrifier - plus one world boss mob, "Stonegazer." During your grind you will probably start to mentally refer to these as "The Green Ones," "The Purple Ones" and "The Red Guy."

DROP RATE: For whatever reason, it is without question that the drop rate reflected here on WowHead is inaccurate. It states there is an equal chance for each type of Basilisk to drop a DBE. Having farmed 1400 of them for countless hours I can say unequivocally that "The Green Ones" have around a 34% drop rate; "The Purple Ones" have around a 10% drop rate; and "The Red Guy" has around a 90% drop rate.

DROP RATE EXPLAINED: Understand that you may kill 30 mobs in a row and only get five eyes. But then the next 30 you kill may drop 15 eyes. It's the overall balance that determines the drop rate, and in this example that would be 20 eyes from 60 mobs, or around 34%. Don't get frustrated!

BUT WHO SHALL I BE?: I have done this grind using a rogue, a DK and a hunter; all level 85. Obviously at that level there is no real danger posed. In terms of speed and effectiveness, the rogue was least useful as there is no real AoE so you have to run to every mob every time. The DK was able to AoE to a certain degree, and has the benefit of water walking. The hunter was by far the best choice. I put away my pet and was able to quickly one shot mobs from a distance and move from mob to mob in a matter of seconds with the proper speed boosting aspect. Coupled with countless elixirs of water walking, it was by far the easiest. REMEMBER: if you take damage those elixirs wear off, so kill em fast and far away!

THE ROUTE: Your general rule of thumb is: The Green Ones are by water, The Purple Ones are by rock. Thus your obvious route is to follow the circular rivers in the center of Terokkar. My best path was thus: From Turrem south to Stonebreaker Hold, East to Firewing Point. Then FLY North to approximately 64, 31 where you will encounter the area where Stonegazer spawns as well as a lot of The Purple Ones. Pick off as many of those as you can stand, then continue NorthWest to where the river starts and proceed West. Once you meet your starting point, if you feel that the mobs have not yet respawned, you can travel down the Vertical river that is in the center of the circle you just made.

THE STATS:

At 250 rep per turn in and 42000 rep to reach Neutral...

...the 5% boost from Mr. Popularity (Rank 1) makes these worth 262 or 263 rep per turn in. Assuming the decimals balance out over time, you'll need 160 turn ins or 1280 eyes.

...the 10% boost from Mr. Popularity (Rank 2) OR the Human racial trait makes these worth 275 rep per turn in. That'll take 153 turn ins or 1224 eyes.

...the 15% boost for Humans with Mr. Popularity (Rank 1) makes these worth 287 or 288 rep per turn in, so 147 turn ins or 1176 eyes.

...and finally, the 20% boost for Humans with Mr. Popularity (Rank 2) makes these worth 300 rep per turn in, so 140 turn ins or 1120 eyes.

THE CASH:

It behooves you to turn on auto-loot, but don't expect to turn much of a profit doing this. You will get a TON of basilisk meat which rarely sells on the AH; and a ton of grey vendor basilisk trash. Occasionally you'll get a green item, but not enough of them to say that this is a cash cow by any stretch of the imagination.

THE RICH MAN'S CHEAT:

If you happen to be flush with gold, may I suggest offering a payment of 100g per EIGHT eyes someone can farm for you. I found plenty of lower level players and even some 85's more than willing to work under this arrangement. I spent 10k gold, but I saved myself a hell of a lot of headache! Broadcast your offer in trade chat and remind people they can C.O.D. them to you any time! Point out that they are "super easy to farm" and "you could potentially make a thousand gold in a half an hour!"

THE BOTTOM LINE: You know you're playing World of Warcraft, right? ;) The grinds are rarely enjoyable, and this is no exception. Stick to it, get it done with, and then enjoy the fruits of your success...until you move on to the next grind. (Heavy Junkboxes, anybody?)

So for someone who is a Scryer already - do these actually have any use besides auction house fodder?
