Extended quick facts:

respawn time is about 35 minutes
weak melee attack - 350-450 on level 70 druid with 70% damage reduction
no other offensive abilities as long as no players with a mana bar are in range
awards 100 reputation with Brood of Nozdormu until 2999/3000 Neutral ~~(20 at level 70)~~
drops enchanting materials like Lesser Eternal Essence and Illusion Dust

One of these mobs roams the entrance of AQ40 and can be pulled alone. He is easily defeated by a 70 druid tank and a 60+ rogue, as they have no mana bars and thus aren't a valid target for the Obsidian Eradicator's mana drain. Without mana drain, the mob will never have mana to use his extremely damaging AoE, making it a free kill. Having a healer around would actually make this more difficult.

Solo'd today on a 70 Protection Warrior, took about 7 minutes, alot of health.

Also if you want any of those 4 mounts it is possible to solo the first 3 Obsidian Eradicators (before Prophet Skeram), then leave the group of whoever is with you, then run out instance, and invite and make raid group again, as soon as you enter the instance all the mobs have reset and respawned again. Much more handy then waiting half an hour for respawns on these.

It could be possible to solo the Anubisath Sentinels, if only they didn't come in fours.

Possible to solo these as an 80 rogue, with careful use of evasion and pots.

Have just spent the last couple of hours farming the first 3 before the boss, for their mounts :)

Leaving the instance did NOT reset them, and I needed to wait the full duration for them to respawn, unless reforming the raid group (as mentioned by Azrilar above)

Soloable as an 80 lock (obviously), easiest with a pet tank although I did manage to solo one as deep affliction by keeping up all dots, life draining, healthstone etc., but it was iffy and I died on the next one so went back to VW tank.

I got them to reset immediately by zoning out, resetting instances and leaving and reforming the raid (I used a bank alt on another account for the raid so I didn't have to bother any guildies or friends with it). I don't know if both resetting instances and reforming the raid were necessary, I just did it to be safe, probably just reforming the raid would work. The first 3 can all be pulled by going past the first 4 pull, as others have mentioned.

I got all 4 mounts by this method in a couple hours or less (I didn't time exactly).

Solo'd them today with my 80 BM hunter and 75lvl cat pet ;) very easy :) most of time my pet was full hp becouse of mend :) and he kept aggro great. The only thing was stealing my mana, but switching to aspect of viper was a good way :)

Lore suggests that these are deceased Tol'Vir. A cat-like race that will make an entrance in Cataclysm by the ruins of Uldum.

Very interesting to see the similarities.

Commento di Mitha

It is possible to solo this as a mage, though I'm not sure just exactly how geared you have to be.

I thought I'd try solo farm for my last couple of mounts for the achievement on my mage (ICC25 geared, mix of ilevel 251-277). I quickly find that it's impossible to purely solo as they hit for 1.5k melee. As thus, mirror images is a must for this, allowing the images to soak up the damage while you nuke away. While each mirror image will also contribute to the mana drain, with good dps, you should only see him at 50% mana before he dies.

A really patient player could farm these mobs and the other entrance guarding mobs for Ancient Qiraji Artifacts. The drop rate would be about 1 in every 180 kills.

Consider that there are two patrols, each containing 4 Sentinels and 1 Eradicator before the first boss in AQ40. That comes to ten mobs. Given that you can kill 50 of these mobs (total) per hour (get a pal to park an alt in a raid group with you, run in by yourself, kill the ten, run out, reset the instance, rinse and repeat the maximum 5 times per hour), you could count on 1000 rep from1 Ancient Qiraji Artifact every four hours, more or less (statistically speaking).

Maybe it's not a lot of fun, but it is conceivable that you could get from 0/21000 to 21k/21k+ Revered/Exalted within one raid lock-out period. Mind numbing and potentially maddening, but conceivable.

Another plus is that these mobs drop the bug mounts, so by the time that you are finished with your rep, it's almost a given that you will have all of the AQ mounts.

Commento di Kanariya

These rather weak mobs were unique in the fact that should their mana bar be allowed to fill up completely, they'd one-shot the entire raid. With 40 players in a raid, there was a lot of mana to drain, and their bars filled up very quickly. It was required to have all Warlocks and Priests mana-drain this mob to prevent this.
