Raptor Mastery

Level 34Stranglethorn Vale
Obtained at level 28HordeAlliance
Hemet Nesingwary Jr. wants you to kill 10 Stranglethorn Raptors.
Stranglethorn Raptor: 0/10
So you think your hunting skills are in tip-top shape? I can put them to the test in a jiffy. Head out into that jungle and kill 10 Stranglethorn Raptors. We'll see just how much of a big game hunter you are.

And no, I won't tell you where you can find them! Locating the beasts is half the challenge.
I never met a hunter who got any kills by standing around the campfire - well, except for my father. Were you planning on killing those Stranglethorn Raptors or were you hoping they would die of old age?
Nicely done, old chap!

    The raptors can be found on the plateu south and east of the Ruins of Zul'Kunda.  Near coordinates 27,16 for Cosmos users.

    There's a good sized nest of them (with young, which will attack with mothers) at 25,15.

    The reward and drops for this are non-existant, and the xp is weak, but it leads to another Raptor Mastery quest.

    The location of these Stranglethorn Raptors is quite deceiving, they are NOT slightly north of the Grom'Gol Base Camp (these are the Lashtail Raptors).

    North East of the Tkashi Ruins (where you do the Bloodscalp Troll quest (Alliance side)) you will find the Stranglethorn Raptors.

    Hope this helps, I was wandering around for a looong time.

    The Stronglethorn Raptors are in the far NW corner. Near the border of Duskwood.

    There are plenty!

    Just go from west from the hunters camp where you picked up the quest and you will easely find them.

      Either Willem83 was smoking something or they have changed the location of the raptors from 2.4 years ago (which is possible). There are no raptors in that location.

      What IS in that location is about 6-7 basilisks, which are level 31 and drop the blue crystal things for the first basilisk quest. They're a lot easier than the level 34/35 basilisks near the beach.

      Copper and tin deposits for miners as well. Not a complete waste of time.

        Would you morons quit posting about Lashtails in this section since the quest clearly states Young Strangelthorn Raptors are what's needed?  It's too confusing to have to filter out your remarks from the correct ones.

        All the coords are correct to a certain degree it has nothing to do with map. The problem is no one is reading the damned quests!!!!

        This is a 4 part quest chain and different raptor types are required to be killed for each part and they're at different locations.

        1. 10 Stranglethorn Raptors.
        2. 10 Lashtail Raptors.
        3. 10 Jungle Stalkers.
        4. Tethris.

        Read the comments in these threads and go to the right raptors for that portion of the quest you're on. I haven't done them all so I'm not going to post them but I have found them where posted so far.

        The Stranglethorn Raptors are...

        North West of the Bal'something ruins.. west of nessingway's camp. Just south of the big ruins, near the beach. In hills is a nest of them and there's plenty surrounding them.

        Head north from the lashtails...

        Guys.. cosmos co-ordinates isnt helpful to everyone, give directions. Bragging about soloing them at level whatever isnt helpful or interesting, telling us how you did it with no pots isnt helpful... you get the idea.

        Just the location in words, thats all people want.

        27,16 was a very good spot for me... For thoes who  have coords it is just Nortwest of the camp were you get the quest, on  second platue. It is also a good place for regular Panthers if you are on that quest. One thing about this place is that next to it there  is a nest with STV raptors AND yong raptors(lvl 30s) that attack too. So be careful if you are a lower lvl doing this quest.

        Occurding to where you turn this in, on thottbot atleast, it says it is in Nagrand... which i seem to doubt. Looking deeper into the chain thottbot also says that one of the peices, 3rd i think, begins and ends in Nagrand. Maybe thottbot just messed up becuase the names of the people are similiar? someone please shed some light on this, im not to fond about the idea of bringing my twink out to nagrand >.<

        I haven't seen it mentioned here but it should be noted that the lashtail raptors for second part of Raptor Mastery and The Defense of Grom'gol quests are the same raptors. If you wait to do The Defense of Grom'gol until after you get part 2 of Raptor Mastery, you will be completing 2 quests at the same time. It will cut down on XPs for fighting less mobs but it makes things go a little faster.

        ok lets end all the confusion here.  this is the raptor quest, 1st one, NOT lashtail raptors.  Look on your map, see where the bridge crosses over the river?  draw an almost straight line west from that point (ending up just south of and to the west of Zul'Kunda)  thats where the stranglethorn raptors are.  Very important, be sure to complete the first tiger and panther quests and accept the 2nd ones b4 u go as you'll travel rite thru both of these mobs to get to the raptors.
