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.
