For this quest, you have to get the killing blow on the mob while it is under the debuff from the totem.
This restriction includes hunter pets - I had to put my pet on passive to be sure I got the killing blow and to make this quest bearable.

They did make the cooldown on the totem short and also made the debuff last longer vs. pre-cata, making this a bit less frustrating than before.

the crocs have to be under the totem's effect for at least 20 seconds before you can kill it for the credit. Took me a long time to figure this out cuz i kept killing 50 crocs and only realized I only had 5 credits

edit: 12/22/2010

I also noticed that I wasn't getting credit for all this damn time because my felguard was getting the killing blows. If you're a warlock with a felguard, make sure you are the one who finish the crocs off, not your pet. I'm not sure if this applies to hunters and mages' elemental pet.

If you're having trouble with this quest, check the following:

You have to get the killing blow on the crocs. If your pet gets the last hit you will not get credit for the "totem test".
The totem debuff MUST be on the croc at the time of the kill. The debuff lasts for about 6 seconds and reapplies after a split second. It is entirely possible to kill the croc within this split-second and if this happens you will not get credit.

If you are still having trouble make sure you have the right crocs and have the totem down when the kill occurs with the deuff currently on the croc when you get the killing blow.

Kommentar von DocLithius

This quest is, and always has been, stupidly frustrating for people in parties and people with pets. Even now in Patch 4.0.6, the whole "get credit for the kill" thing is fickle. -_-;

Kommentar von Vereesa

Do yourself a favor and summon the totem before pulling the mob.

Kommentar von simorie

I didn't notice any problems with my water elemental, so perhaps this has been updated with the patch (or I just got lucky). I did need to plant each totem pretty close to a mob before attacking, and put out a new totem for basically every croc/daggermaw I attacked for this quest - in only one or two cases were the mobs close enough together for me for a single totem to work for both.

Relatively easy as hunter...

Put pet into passive and plant totem some distance from your croc. Run towards the croc until out of just out of aggro range then check behind you. Hit croc with Concussive Shot and then retreat towards the totem spamming Arcane shot. As croc comes in range of totem, the buff will apply.

If you're lucky and time it right, you can Kill Shot as it nears the totem.

If you're unlucky, you'll reverse into another mob :) or the totem will expire while you're on your third pull :)

But even then the crocs don't hit hard (on a lv38 hunter anyway) and you can plant another totem while getting hit anyway - doesn't seem to interrupt.

Good hunting!

For Survival hunters:
1.Must put pet on passive
2.Place your totem
3.Auto shot once to get aggro
4.Serpent sting and explosive shot when it has the debuff
5.Collect loot
Easy quest to complete as long as you have the right crocs and area(yes it counts).

Kommentar von Balgair

I believe in addition to making sure you and not your pet get the killing blow, you also need to deal more damage than your pet to get credit. Doing this quest on an Ironman Challenge (no gear with stats allowed, so basically really low-geared) warlock with a voidwalker pet, I often didn't get credit even putting my pet on passive before the end of the fight, and it didn't matter if it was a dot or a direct spell which got the killing blow. I did find that when I either kept the pet on passive through the whole fight, or put him to passive before 50%, that I got credit each time though, so I think I just wasn't dealing enough damage the times when I didn't get credit.

(Probably not relevant to most players, due to better gear, but don't be lazy and let your pet do almost all the damage if you want credit!)

Kommentar von idahocaligirl

I see several comments indicating that you have to get the killing blow to receive credit for the crocs, but I've found this to not be true with my hunter. If I put my pet on passive and bring the croc's health down halfway, I can then put my pet on assist and let him finish the job. I get credit for the croc, even without delivering the final blow, just as long as I brought him down halfway first.

Kommentar von jeanray

As many are commenting back and forth on this quest, I will post my "trick", which is confirmed to work as I just did the quest. If you kill the mob too quickly (high level char), you wont get credit. "Too quick" is killing the mob before the beam from the totem hits the target.

In other words, just wait a second or two until a beam appears from the totem to the target, then kill it - and get credit.

There seem to be a few rules to this quest;

1. Location - you must be in the correct area which should be highlighted blue on the minimap.
2. Critter - You must kill the correct kind of animal.
3. Survive - If you die as the kill happens you probably won't get credit.
4. Get the killing hit - If your pet/demon/elemental gets the last hit you don't get credit.
5. Do the most damage - If you do not do more than half of the damage you don't get credit. Apparently this includes the totem itself.
6. One kill at a time - As mentioned by SuperJosh, if there are more than one target critter the focus jumps so you may not get proper credit.
7. Groups make this harder to do because of the other rules.
8. The totem has to do some damage - one hit kills before the totem strikes will lose you credit for the kill.
9. The totem effect must be active at the time of critter death.

Putting my warlock pet on passive didn't work at all, I had to dismiss it altogether then got credit for all totems after that.

Kommentar von Mindzuia

Apparently this quest has a bug. You put the totem on the ground, kill the nearby Drywallow Crocs, but the quest doesn't compute the results, then you're stucked then. Is anyone else with the same problem as mine?

Kommentar von mudplayerx

Just put your pet on passive and the quest works fine.

Kommentar von drokk31

I just finished this quest with my level 38 demo lock. After reading the comments, I was concerned about my Wild Imps presenting problems. They didn't. It seems that a previous post nailed it on the head--just do at least 50% damage and there doesn't seem to be a problem. I put my voidwalker on passive to be safe and left him there, though I believe I may have gotten credit with him on my first test.

My DoTs didn't cause any issues either. I cast Hand of Gul'dan and Corruption as usual and had no problem getting credit for the tests. Cheers!

Kommentar von kileytoo

For some reason, this quest is not available to me. It's one of the two quests in Dustwalllow Marsh that I couldn't get, the other being They Call Him Smiling Jim.

Kommentar von ChrisAKAPiefish

If you have binding shot, it is very useful for this affect. Put down the totem, pull the mob and then fire binding shot when they're on the totem.

Kommentar von Random0532

How to do this quest:

Find either a Scheckiger Staubsuhlerkrokilisk or a Staubsuhlerdolchrachen.
Put down your Erbeutetes Totem.
Attack the mob and drag it to the totem.
It'll be affected with the debuff Erbeutetes Totem, only then are you good to kill the mob.

Kommentar von Yotingo

Apparently having your pet help at all will break this quest. I had my voidwalker taunt one of the crocs because I was getting low in health, then put the voidwalker immediately on passive so I got "killing blow". I still did not get credit for that one.

Kommentar von Wyr3d

Pretty much as others have said. This quest is bugged for characters with pets (namely hunters and warlocks) You should dismiss your pet before attempting this quest, or it will take you forever (something like 1/10 kills before I realised the pet damage was fudging the quest on my warlock)

Once you put your pet away, you'll have no problem.

Kommentar von KallePHP

There seems to be some issue blocking this quest from being picked up, it could be that you have completed one of the other quests in this hub that later blocks this from being picked up. I haven't been able to track it down entirely but if you are sitting wondering how to figure this out, then you can easily ignore it as it won't block you for completing the quest achievement for Dustwallow Marsh.

Kommentar von bunganga

I was having an issue where my kills stopped counting, and I couldn't understand why. When I came here, and saw the pet bug, I wondered if that was it. Thing is, it's my companion pet - it doesn't attack. After I dismissed it, the kills started counting again. In my case, it was just having any type of pet out, period.

Kommentar von Aisubeki

Just came here to confirm that kills not counting with pets is still happening in 8.0.1 with my Warlock. I had to disable my Voidwalker to get credit. If you're playing as Affliction or Demonology, I'd recommend switching to Destruction if you aren't already to speed this up. I play Affliction just because I like it, but it seems Destruction has a higher DPS, to me.

Kommentar von Tyrsenus

If you're having trouble getting this quest, talk to Zidormi switch to the "other" version of Dustwallow Marsh, then find Apprentice Garion. For some reason I couldn't get the quest from him until I did that.

Kommentar von ZombieEris

To all referencing pets, i cant confirm or deny that although the the arcane spec talent that gives you the orb that attacks and increase mana does not effect kills (level 15 talent Arcane Familiar.)
But I have found out if you do not let the totum "attack" the kill first you will not get credit.
So if you can kill the croc within one to two hit before it takes effect, just attract the mob and wait the second or two it takes to have its effect then kill it so you get credit.

Kommentar von Clobberbottum

High level Hunters:

1. Find a croc
2. Dismiss pet
3. Place totem near croc
4. Target croc
5. Wait till debuff is on croc...looks like an electric arc
6. Kill croc
7. Repeat

Kommentar von emcait

For those of you attempting this quest during Burning Crusade Classic prepatch!:
I've spent almost an hour on this quest as a hunter doing what other's have suggested. HERE IS MY TRIED AND TRUE METHOD AS A HUNTER!

1. make sure you're in the quagmire
2. dismiss your pet
3. drop totem as far back as possible.
4. make sure you have hunters mark on the croc and aspect of the hawk... DPS MATTERS
5. attack mob while walking backwards to the totem you dropped
6. get mob to 45%
7. call your pet to help attack
8. make sure you kill it while the buff is on the croc

DONE

Kommentar von Alteir

I've tested this a bunch on TBC Classic and I've found that the problem isn't having a pet out, the pet doing too much damage, or the pet dealing the killing blow - the problem is that the pet has aggro. That's what hinders quest progression. The crocs HAVE to have aggro on the player character when they die, not the pet.

Kommentar von GhostGhost

My totem stopped working and I had to abandon the quest.

Kommentar von Gnilretse

Most annoying quest in Dustwallow Marsh!

Kommentar von Impartiale

Is there an award for worst content ever put in a game ?

This quest has a real chance to win first place.

What kind of dumbwit you got to be to design such crap.

Just came here to share the frustration, clearly I'm not alone at all ! :)

Beschreibung

Bevor ich während des letzten Angriffs der Grimmtotems verwundet wurde, konnte ich noch ein recht seltsames Totem an mich bringen, das von unseren Feinden gegen uns eingesetzt wurde.

Im Kampf lässt es wohl wilde Energieblitze von sich. Leider konnte ich mit keinem meiner Experimente herausfinden, wie es funktioniert. Wenn Ihr versprecht, mir zu helfen, werde ich Euch das Totem leihen.

Die Wasserflächen, die den Hof umgeben, beheimaten aggressive scheckige Staubsuhlerkrokilisken und Staubsuhlerdolchrachen. Versucht, die Krokilisken in Reichweite des Totems zu bekämpfen.
