Quest Text
I need a crateload of tail, {class}! And not just any kind of tail. The tail I'm after needs to be old - ancient even. The more decrepit the better. The scales of a basilisk's tail are unique in that they harden with age without becoming brittle. The hardened scales are ideal for the production of certain armors. It's been many years since I've been reduced to peddling lizard scales, but who knows, maybe it'll build even more character in me! If that's even possible....
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
