So easy quest! there are millions of raptors about 31,40 Did this on 5 min as lv 39
just a note, if you're a female instead of "old chap" he'll say "fair lady."
These raptors are literally everywhere by the Gurabashi Arena. You cannot miss them. The only thing I would say is to bring bandages and/or food, because otherwise there is a lot of down time. The respawn on the raptors isn't terrible, so you won't get killed by respawns before you're ready, and there will always be enough for you to complete the quest.

Description
A particularly cagey brand of raptor, known by locals as the "Jungle Stalker", prowls the forests to the south, across the river. They are far more difficult to track down and kill than the other breeds you've been trying your luck at. Killing these Jungle Stalkers will undoubtedly make for a good tale around the fire.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Panther Prowess
Now the hard part. As panthers grow older, they become more wily, blending in with their environment and becoming difficult to spot. These cunning panthers are known by the name "shadowmaw", for their tendency to suddenly appear out of the darkness... with a waiting mouth full of teeth.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Excelsior
With the inside finished, all that's left is to add the outer layer. For this, I use only the best elder croc skins. They are more durable and a better canvas--if you will--for adding the designs and accents that make Drizzlik's Excelsior line.
