Here's some detailed information about the dragon fights for this quest:

There are a total of four dragons that you can summon for this quest - Rivendark, Obsidia, Furywing, and Insidion. Any one of these four dragons will drop the Dragon Teeth quest item needed to finish the quest. I felt that Rivendark was the easiest of the four, so I would recommend killing him first. However, all four dragons are fairly easy - all of them can be killed in a reasonable time frame by a group of three people or more (tank, dps, healer)

Rivendark can be summoned at (27, 64).
Obsidia can be summoned at (34, 54).
Furywing can be summoned at (66, 14).
Insidion can be summoned at (62, 7).

All four dragons are nearly identical. They are basically Onyxia clones tailored for groups of size 3-5 people. They all possess the following abilities:

Melee Attack - hit the tank for about 450-600 damage
Cleave - standard cleave attack
Flame Breath - frontal cone attack for about 600 fire damage
Tail Swipe - knockback effect from the tail of the dragon (similar to Onyxia's). Our fury warrior kept getting knocked backwards right off the ledge.
Bellowing Roar - AoE fear, similar to Onyxia's

Along with the afore mentioned abilities, each dragon possess exactly one unique ability:

Rivendark - casts Corruption on random party members; identical to a warlock's Corruption
Obsidia - casts Hellfire; identical to a warlock's Hellfire. The Hellfire was hitting for about 500 fire damage a tick.
Furywing - casts Wing Buffet on the tank; similar to Firemaw's Wing Buffet. This ability reduces the threat on primary target by a significant amount and knocks that target back. It's not a big deal if the tank loses aggro, since Furywing is not immune to taunt.
Insidion - casts a stacking Flame Buffet on the entire party; similar to Firemaw's Flame Buffet. This ability increases fire damage taken by the party and stacks a large number of times. Since Insidion's only fire attack is Flame Breath, the only person really getting hit with fire damage should be the tank. Thus, Flame Buffet stacking on the rest of the group shouldn't really matter.

For loot, each dragon drops a green or blue item, as well as a scale unique to that dragon (lootable by everybody in the party). If you obtain a scale from each of the four dragons, you can create this item http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31942#M0z.

There is a nest at these coordinates that looks like the ground has been burnt all to hell, with eggs in the middle of it (thus no decimal locations needed). Takes 35 apexis shards to spawn the dragons.

Following Quest: None-Return to Quest Giver
Recommended Level: 70

=========================================================

Quest Notes: Quest Giver Wants a Dragon’s Tooth. Easy enough… Maybe… There are 4 dragons by which to obtain this from.

*** MAKE SURE THE DRAGONS ARE FLYING IN THE AIR OVER THE PLATEAU BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO SPAWN IT, SOME PEOPLE’S EGGS BUG, AND YOU LOSE ALL 35 SHARDS-GMS DO NOT REPLACE! ***

It’s recommended to have 4 people in the group. Quest is 3 mannable, with a specced healer of course, because they hurt. With 4 people in group, 1 healer, 2 dps, and a tank, should be simple.

Dragon's Abilities:


  • Melee Attack-400-700 on Plate

  • Cleave-Normal Cleave - Skill that deals Melee damage (weapon damage) plus a small bonus to two targets.

  • Flame Breath - FRONTAL Cone of Cold Like effect for about 500-700 fire damage-So stand on the side him if you’re not tanking. NOT Behind because…

  • Tail Swipe-Knockback.

  • Bellowing Roar-An AOE Fear-Same as ony’s… No distance will neglect you from getting feared.

  • FIRE IMMUNITY! - Hey, they are dragons, wtf you expect?

Dragon's Special Abilities:


  • Rivendark: Corruption - Yes, warlock spell, Usually applied to tank, and doesn’t seem to tick for a lot.

  • Obsidian: AOE Hellfire - Short range, seems to hit for approx 400-650.

  • Furywing: Wing Buffet - Put on tank - Knocks down his Agro A LOT, and knocks him back.

  • Insidion: Flame Buffet - Puts a Debuff on the whole party to increase fire damage taken. His only fire damage is his flame breath, so don’t stand infront of him, and you’ll be fine.

These Dragons are Standard Spank and Tanks. Get someone who can hold agro, and mind your own, and it’s quite easy. Recommend having a pot or 2 if you’re a dmg caster class. Used a potion and a mana emerald on my mage, as well as evocate. Just a long battle, not hard. Healer looked like his mana never went below half.

=========================================================

Alliance Watch: Very High-Many Quests in this area for the Skyguard and Ogri’la. Faction. I ran into a ton, all questing, so they didn’t bother me. They also have quests in this area, so odds of attack are low, but hey, who can predict human nature.

Quest Rank of Ease: Average-Decent group, it isn’t bad at all. Average Group quest. Mobs are long winded for a 4 man, approx 3-6 min fight.

Fairly simple quest, the dragon you summon will fear much like Onyixa, but other than that it's a very simple fight. Also you need 35 shards to break the egg, this does not seem to be mentioned in the quest text.
