Repeatable reputation quest, grants 250 rep with the Consortium at level 70.

In my opinion, if your goal is to simply grind Consortium rep, farming Zaxxis Insignias is still much more effective. Times may vary for different people, but it took me a long time of pretty steady killing to get 1 key for an ID tag.

Comentario de Valkries

I have killed a good 80 Ethereum mobs (Day of patch) and first part of the quest I got the key off the 2nd mob. I have yet to get one since.
I came back about 10 mins later and did finally get a key. Drop rate is pretty low.

Comentario de 19634

This seems to be a quest thats meant to be done as you do all the other quests in this area as the drop rate is, for me, significantly smaller than the last quest.
If you are just starting out in this area, make an effort to turn the salvaged key in right away so you can grab this quest and soften the blow of this grind.

As a side note, since wowhead doesn't mention it, the precursor to this quest is https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=10970

Upon finding a Key (off of around the 5th or 6th mob I killed), I unlocked a cage to get the Forgosh, The Duke of Fiends. He's a level 71 mob and is the same npc type as the flesheaters, but I was unable to nova him in place. Low HP, so easily droppable.

Just to see, I did this quest again, got the key on the 10th mob or so, and got Porfus the Gem Gorger, a giant basilisk model. Same level 71, and just like the Fiend model, he wasn't kitable via frost spells, but had low enough HP to burn down easily.

In both cases, the mob I freed dropped a green as well as the ID tag.

Uncertain if it's random which mob you get upon opening a cage, I tried the one closest to the entrance on the ones nearest to Ameer, and after that, tried the one behind it to the left.

I received 450 sporeggar rep for freeing a sporeggar from one of the ethereum prisons.

Is the next quest that follows it.

Comentario de Zlord

According to my mod, the drop rate seems to be around 4-6% I got 5 keys in about 1.5 hours of farming, most of the time competing over mobs with other people.

Comentario de 53856

I didn't have much trouble farming these things.
it's not too bad, plus you get greens off every mob you kill after you free them.

not too bad in my opinion.
i've gotten maybe 6 keys in an hour of farming, all the mobs i released dropped a nametag and a green.

some may think its a waste of time, but i'm not one of those.

Comentario de 54674

What mobs should I kill to get the ID tags, i've been killing all but no tags

Comentario de 22764

i just got an ID from a nullifier, while searching for jailors.
It was my first kill on that mob, so i have no clue about the drop-percentage

Comentario de NuSkooler

I can confirm that the keys can definitely drop off any of the Ethernuim mobs. I flew around a bit looking for a Jailor and found none -- I then farmed up 5 keys in under 30 minutes just killing the random mobs. So far, two blues and 3 greens.

Comentario de alcy

Actually, get the keys for the prisons (think it was the Gladiator who dropped it) and you get the tag from the prison instantly.

Comentario de 55743

The area sw of area 52 has the best drop rate so far and ne of the ethereum there drops the key.
but does ne 1 know how many id tags u gotta had in b4 u get next quest ?

Comentario de 55418

Yeah, a rather frustrating quest. Killed about 75 Ethereums so far, mostly Nullifiers and Avengers - no jailor, and no key.

Comentario de 45391

Quest is bugged for me, i can't loot the I.D. tag from the body, I waited for another person to try the quest also and they had the same problem.

Comentario de Thildir

These keys also dropps from the Zaxxis humanoids south of Arena 52. I went there to farm the other rep item and got a key from first Mob O.o

Comentario de 56605

100 % Drop from Ethereum Jailor at 56,48. I killed him 2 minutes ago.

Comentario de 57391

I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is easy peasy.

The keys drop off the various mobs around the camp, and then you open the ethereum prisons (the big purpley ball things, there are a bunch at 54,40) and a big scary pops out. Kill him and he drops the ID tags.

Comentario de 53826

I killed a Jailor at 61.30 and it drops

Comentario de 42460

After killing around 20 random mobs, got it from Warden Icoshock. 54.5, 40.8, first kill.

Comentario de 7718

Do NOT move the tag from your keyring to your inventor bag. It WILL vanish on you. /cry

After 20 minutes of grinding for the tag, it dropped and went looking for it, and found it in my keyring. For whatever reason I dragged and dropped it in my bag. I went to look for it in my bag and it was no where to be found!

LEAVE the tag in the keyring.

Comentario de 10585

The Zaxxis mobs south of Area 52 are a good place to farm for this while farming for the Zaxxis Insignia and Netherweave, if you're not bothered about a slightly lower drop rate but getting more farmable stuff overall, I would definatley suggest these mobs.

Comentario de Gilean

Just confirming icedoom the jailor does spawn at 56.48 killed it with some friends twice in a row to get the drop after that e didnt spawn again...very weird...but if your lucky to find him the drop is 100%
from the other mobs the drop is insanely low i got one but was lucky.

Comentario de 52544

This is definitely a nice way to farm Consortium rep: just kill Zaxxis guys for keys and insigs. Use the keys to open the prisons for 250 rep a pop (or whatever else that comes out.

Considering that at exalted you can get the key that allows you to summon the mana-tomb boss without consuming it, it's probably a good idea to stick to this part of the rep grind until you're close to exalted.

Also, looking at the loot lists of the mobs you free, a lot of them have a chance at dropping shadow resist gear, which is critical for heroic mana-tomb...

Lastly, the random mobs that gives you Shatar/LC/Conosrtium/etc rep gives rep to everyone in your party. It's nice to do the unlocking cage part of the quest not just by yourself (especially with all those potential BOP blue loot that drops).

Comentario de Punkeh

Before you start farming the mobs to get the key, look for this guy ;) he drops it 100%!

https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=23008#M0z

Comentario de 41651

I ran Heroic Mana-Tombs earlier today & forgot I was still on this quest.
Six keys ended up dropping & only I could see them, so.. there ya go.

Comentario de 69964

is it me or i cant find any friggin jailors?

Comentario de 15689

The followup is repeatable, Ethereum Prisoner I.D. Catalogue < https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=10972 >

Comentario de 32973

I found a key while running TK -Arc(heroic).. and it seems that they have a high drop rate? I got a key in every run so far..

Actually, there are like 12 of them in every Arc run only.. lol

Comentario de swotam

I agree with the suggestion to kill Zaxis guys while you are farming for keys. I spent 30 minutes killing mobs around Manaforge Ultris and got nothing except a couple of BOP greens, no keys.

I then went and spent 40 minutes farming Zaxis mobs, got 40 badges and 2 keys so that's 1500 rep for 40 minutes work vs zero rep for 30 minutes work.

Basically, you can farm the Zaxis and average 10 badges per 10 min, so that would be 60 per hour worth 1500 rep. Plus, you might get keys to drop as a bonus. Finally, no basilisks to deal with.

Comentario de 42740

It is a 100% drop rate, kill the jailor who drops the prion key (100% on this too). Open the Prison, kill the mob that spawns and u have ur key. The jailor pats in a half moon shape around the eastern/south side of the island. happy hunting

Comentario de 42580

there is no jailor's only
Etherium Assassins
Etherium Archon's
Etherium Gladiator's
Etherium Nexus-Stalker's
Etherium Overlord's
Etherium Researcher's
Etherium Shocktrooper's
Etherum Avenger's
Etherium Nullifier's

Comentario de 4854

i have yet to see a Jailor in all the times i looked for him, i just gave up and started killing Avenger's and Nullifiers, they seem to have a higher drop rate than the ones inside the camp, they are all around the isle, got my first key on the 10th Nullifier

Comentario de 95013

I have been working on this quest for two days now. I have gotten the key twice. I have opened two prisons. The first prison I opened the freed a sprorregard. The second time freed a keeper of time. Neither time have I gotten an I.D. tag. Does anyone have any advice?

Comentario de 100205

Haha took me 2 kills to get one key, damn lucky

Comentario de LoKHor

If you are grinding Consortium rep, just grind Zaxxis Insignias at the Heap, and then open a prison with every key that one of those ethereals drops.

Comentario de Cerres

I have freed 2 prisonners at 54,46, both were mobs and both dropped an ID

Comentario de 74836

I would like to group alot of relevant information about this Quest.

The keys drop from most if not all the ethereum mobs around Manaforge Ultris and from the Zaxxis mobs near Manaforge B'naar. The drop rate is low but if you circle the Manaforge killing these and come across a Jailor then the drop rate is 100% from him. The jailors it would seem are on the same respawn as the other mobs so keep killing, I have had 3 jailors spawn immediately one after the other by killing the other mobs but can fly around looking for hours without a jailor if I havn't been killing the other mobs. Simply pick an area and farm it, the time it takes you to kill mobs and respawn time, will soon dictate the size of the area to farm.
When you open a prison orb you have the chance of freeing a friendly or a hostile mob. The friendly mob will grant you relevant rep, so far I have had rep granted for (as a human) The Consortium, Cenarian Expedition, Sha'tar, Lower City and Keepers Of Time all 550 and Sporegarr 450 (or something but it was less than the others). You will not get a prison I.D. Tag with these friendly mobs. If you free a hostile mob you will have to fight it. They are lvl 70 or 71 but seem to be easy to kill, you will get a lvl 70 Blue/Green and an I.D. Tag which you hand in to Commander Ameer and get 275 rep with The Consortium, or 250 as non human.
Once you reach Consortium Revered you will be offered the quest A Thousand Worlds from Ameer.

Comentario de 116902

Simply killed Ethereum Nexus- Stalker at entrance to area with the prisons (pink bubbles). A prison key dropped I opened the middle prison and out came Porfus the Gem Gorger. I killed him and he dropped a tag.

Comentario de 93106

I Found and saw Ethereum Jailor lvl 71, 3 times around 57,47 !!
Kill Him - Get the key, go to one of the Ethereum Prison's open it and kill the lvl 71 mob - and loot the Ethereum Prisoner I.D. Tag

Its pretty easy, but Ethereum Jailor and the mob from the prison is pretty hard to kill, so your need good dps or another char. to help you.
Unless your good at killing mobs without getting killed.

Comentario de 127217

check this out
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=29460
note that there is a missing bind on pickup, which, if you got extra gold, especially with the new SSO dailies faction or from netherwing ogrila or skettis you can get these keys for consortium rep the same time as getting netherwing/SSO/etc. rep from dalies. 25g apeice which would give ya round 4-6 keys just from SSO dailies. You can also get it from grinding etherium mobs, doing the regular daily, or mana-tombs

Comentario de Allakhazam

i agree go down to the heap near area 52 and kill the mobs there
you're also getting the insignias for extra rep while doing it here not at the staging grounds which is probably an easier repeatable to do

was very lucky to find 3 keys within 10 kills

Comentario de Allakhazam

2 killed mob drop eth. prison key.
open and kill mobs
dropped ID tag
yeaaah
eeasy Q

Comentario de Allakhazam

this is seriously insane.. killed about 100 dudes.. not a single drop.. just money and netherweave cloth.. a few times a manapotion dropped

edit:
gave up the grinding for the keys after ~ 2.5 hours
i killed Captain Zovax for the The Ethereum quest, then i got a key and two nice items.
opened one of those prisons, a lvl 71 showed up and from the loot i got the I.D. Tag

Comentario de Allakhazam

It's probably already been mentioned, but if you need Consortium rep, go to The Heap. Prison Keys drop at The Heap as well as Zaxxis Insignias which you turn in for a Consortium repeatable. Keys have always had a higher drop rate for me at The Heap.

Pre-req - Mission of Mercy

Leads to "A Thousand Worlds"

and repeatable ID tag hand in.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Killed 20-30 mobs for the key, open one of the prison door things, some giant lizard comes out, drops the ID tag and a green, I go back to turn it in and I get the same bloody quest again, not getting any sort of follow up.

Almost revered with consitorium.

Comentario de Allakhazam

15th mob dropped for me Ethereum Prison Key
When I unlocked the prison a lvl 71 mob called Armbreaker Huffaz spawned and dropepd Ethereum Prisoner I.D. Tag,Netherweave Cloth x3 and Dragonscale Shield of the Boar.
20mins quest

Comentario de Allakhazam

Just did this quest on my paladin. He's only Honored with Cenarion, and I was able to get the follow-up quest, A Thousand Worlds, in addition to the repeatable quest.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Tried the heap, 40 insignias and still no key. Tried grinding at 53,42 with no luck. Was about to
give up... Tried 57,49 Dropped on 7th kill.

Comentario de Allakhazam

This is the worst quest ever.

I had to kill at least 50 mobs to get a key, and when I unlocked a prison, some stupid friendly Cenarion Expedition druid came out and I got 500 rep with CE.

Key's gone.

Comentario de Allakhazam

If ya gonna try and find a key the best place is near Area 52 . Killed like 15 Etherum collect 10 badges for faction and got 2 prison keys .Mines well get some extra faction farming badges and their easier kills to boot . the 2 keys I got dropped near Nassir guy around his area

Comentario de Allakhazam

Kill warden at 55,40
Get prision key
Open a Ethereum Prison at same place
Kill mob that appears
Done.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I killed 4 mobs around prison and got my key, killed lvl 71 got ID and Frigid band of power =]

Comentario de Allakhazam

Got an Ethereum prison key from a Zaxxis Raider today while grinding for insignias.

Update: OK, make that 3 keys within 90 minutes. Sometimes you get lucky...

First kill, got BOP cloak off one of those mech demons. lvl 71. Enigmatic Cloak of Magic was the bop.

Maybe drop rate is up in 2.1?

Comentario de Allakhazam

Honestly, the best place to get these is at The Heap, i was griding rep for the Zaxxas Insignia's and i got 6 of these.

Edited, Oct 8th 2007 8:09am by dresian

Comentario de Allakhazam

I completed this quest but did not get the option to do "A Thousand Worlds", only the repeatable quest.

Is there a faction requirement for A Thousand Worlds? I'm only honored with Consortium. Do I have to do the repeatable 20 more times to continue with this chain? /wrists

Comentario de Allakhazam

first that jailor doesnt drop the prison key, thats the key for the first step that he drops and second the prison key is a random drop.
killed already 287 mobs and still not a key did drop, getting tired of it and annoyed. blizz shoult rly rethink when they form quests and make WoW not turn in to World of farmcraft, ow wait its already that :s

Comentario de Allakhazam

the key drops from Ethereum Avenger, got it in 6 kills

Comentario de Allakhazam

Hi,

I did this quest on two characters. One was only honoured and it will only give you this quest for repeatable.

But if you are revered like my second character it indeed gives you a lead on quest http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?source=live;wquest=10973&locale=enUS

Hope that clears up why some cannot get the next quest until revered.

Comentario de Allakhazam

OK, I wasn't thinking & just tried killing guards thinking they'd have them at first. Wrong.

Kill the ethereum mobs until you get a second prison key, then unlock one of the Ethereum Prisons (there are some around 54.46, saw another cluster further north too).

A 71 named non-elite came out, killed it. Got a prisoner i.d. (and a warpdagger of the elder =) ).

Handin leads to a quest marked as repeatable: "Ethereum Prisoner I.D. Gatalogue". Haven't done that yet.

Comentario de Allakhazam

i killed 45 eternium mob but they dont drop that key!

Comentario de Allakhazam

The Heap grinding:

170 Zaxxas Insignia's
9 Ethereum prison keys

Enjoy grinding :-)

Comentario de Allakhazam

Farmed about 15-20 mobs outside the prison area. When the key drops and I unlock the prison a green mob pops out, I get 500 rep with Lower City and no ID tag.

Farm 30-40 more key finally drops again and Armbreaker Huffaz appears when I unlock the prison. He drops the ID tag and Ethereum Band of the Sorcerer (BoP blue lvl70 ring).

Never seen a non-elite/non-boss mob drop a BoP item before.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I think the goal here is to get a Jailor to spawn. I believe the Jailor drops the key everytime but they seem like a pretty rare spawn.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Yes the jailor is a certain drop for the key.

He seems to spawn in the location of the last killed mob. So if you want to get a key without grinding for it, get on yr server really early in the morning, do a flyover. If he's not there start grinding. When he spawns nail him and he will then proceed to respawn in your immediate vicinity, until other people turn up and start grinding the mobs, at which point he'll move around.

I really can't support people moaning about drop rates all the time. It's meant to be challenging and the drops of the mobs you kill are good(Enough to get me my epic flying mount in 3 weeks moderate grinding of the ethereum and kirin'var).

So sorry - no sympathy.

Comentario de Allakhazam

wow killed the WHOLE camp 3 times... finally got it at 62,32....not in the camp LOL but yeah took a long time so GL!

**EDIT: CANT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! I used the key on one prison and nothing happened! LOST THE DAMN KEY! and now I must farm again! no I.D tag....... that a damn joke! I MUST BE A JOKE

Edited, Jan 4th 2008 1:13pm by Daryah

Comentario de Allakhazam

have to ask this question eventhough it might be stupid... What jailor and prison are u talking about.. cause I'm lost.... got at key, but no clue to where to use it...
help me plzzzz

Comentario de Allakhazam

Merely to vent frustration at drop rates that do nothing but cause frustration. And I'm referring to the literally dozens of other quests like this as well with mindless grinding for BS rewards that have to be done for follow ons.

Wake the @#$% up, Blizz.

Yeah, we play your game and we pay for it. That doesn't mean I hold all your game designers in the highest regard. Guess the joke's on me, huh, you bastards?

Comentario de Allakhazam

Think I killed all mobs at the heap and no key, but killed Nasaad and the first dropped... guess how long before the next one....

Comentario de Allakhazam

I got my Ethereum Prison Keys doing the heroic dalies. First prision opened I got the ID tag. Turned it in no problems. Have a pile of keys left over. (On keyring - not in inventory)

Comentario de nisx

Found an easy way to do this. To complete this quest you need to open a locked cell at 54, 46 and kill whatever NPC spawn.

Daily dungeon quests from Shattrath always reward you a . Just do the daily quest and open the cell, dont spend hours farming etherial mobs for a key like me...
