Do this one with Good-Fer-Nothin' Slither-Dogs, since you'll have to kill the basilisks anyway on your way to Ironjaw Behemoth.
Smeerp!

StorylineThe Cape of Stranglethorn, step 3 of 62
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
Whatever it is you want to do: I've got a recipe that'll do exactly that. You want an exploding potion? BOOM!! You want a lightning potion? ZAP!! You want a shrinking potion? Smeerp. So Bronwyn says he wants a carbon-dating potion? Easy. I could make that in my sleep. The thing is... if we want it to be accurate, I need you to get some quality ingredients. Start with some humour from a basilisk to the north. It'll need to be a pretty big basilisk...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dask "The Flask" Gobfizzle
Hey - you must be that fella' that Wulfred was talkin' about! Welcome to the digsite, <name>. We were actually just starting a project when you arrived. Would you mind bringing this sample over to Dask? I need him to help me find out how old it is.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Akiris by the Bundle
The naga explorers to our west carry a valuable ocean reed - Akiris reeds. Traders use them to make medicines and poultices, and craftsmen use them to line armor or even wrap cigars! In the evenings, when digging's done, father's been teaching me how to use them... but unfortunately, we ran out.
