Get Green Qiraji Battle Tank mount

Green Qiraji Battle Tank is a rare silithid mount from the classic raid Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (AQ40), located in southwestern Silithus. The item emits a high-frequency sound that forces a silithid tank to crawl out of its burrow beneath the temple, after which the player can ride one of the most unusual mounts in the game.

There are four color variations of the Qiraji resonating crystals in total: blue, red, green, and yellow. Green is one of the three "common" colors; its drop chance is higher than that of the red variation, which is considered significantly rarer and is rewarded with a separate achievement.

• Unique silithid model — this is one of the few silithid-bug mounts, and the only group of such ridable creatures
• A boost to your collection — the mount counts toward the overall tally for collection achievements
• Useful inside the raid — the 100% speed boost significantly speeds up travel through the long corridors of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj between bosses and trash packs
• A rare item with history — the crystal belongs to original Classic content and is a reminder of the opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj, one of the most significant events in WoW's early history
• A full set of four colors — collectors often farm all four variations to assemble the complete line of Qiraji battle tanks

The item drops from trash mobs in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. No quests, reputation, or prerequisites are required other than entering the raid.

1. Create a raid group (even if you go in solo at max level — entry to the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj is only possible from a raid group)
2. Fly to Silithus and head to the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj in the southwest of the zone
3. Enter the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj — the entrance is deep within the ruins
4. Begin clearing the trash packs near the entrance and in the first corridors — this is exactly where the mobs that drop the crystal reside
5. Kill groups of Qiraji warriors, slayers, anubisaths, and obsidian destroyers, checking your loot after each kill
6. If the crystal does not drop, leave the raid and reset the instance through the difficulty menu (right-click on your portrait — "Reset all instances")
7. Repeat the run until you obtain the Green Qiraji Resonating Crystal
8. Use the item — it is consumed and teaches the mount summoning ability

The Green Qiraji Resonating Crystal drops from a wide list of elite trash mobs. All chances listed below are based on Wowhead community data and may vary slightly depending on the client version.

Practically every elite mob in the first part of the dungeon has a drop chance of about 15–20%, but this is an individual chance on a single mob per single kill, so the total path to the crystal can be either very quick or drawn out.

The mount imposes several important restrictions to keep in mind before farming and using it.

• Only inside the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj — outside the instance, the summoning ability is blocked. In Silithus, Ahn'Qiraj, or any other zone, the mount does not work
• Dismounting in combat — any hostile action toward the rider forcibly makes the tank burrow underground. This means that in trash groups you will frequently lose the mount
• Does not work in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj — despite the similar name, the small raid does not support the Qiraji battle tanks.
• Bind on pickup — the item cannot be handed to another player, traded, or put up on the auction house. The crystal must be found yourself
• Unique item — only one copy can be in your bags at a time. After use, the item is consumed and the mount becomes available permanently
• Does not work on flight paths — this is a ground mount within the dungeon; it does not replace flying mounts and grants no additional abilities

A single max-level player

At current game levels, the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj can be completed solo in a few minutes. The optimal farming scheme looks like this:

1. Enter the raid and clear the first wave of trash after the entrance — anubisath and Qiraji warrior packs come right away
2. Check your loot after each group
3. If the crystal does not drop, leave the raid and reset all instances through the difficulty menu
4. Repeat the run

Remember Blizzard's limit: an account cannot reset more than 10 instances per hour and 30 per day. This allowance lets you make several runs in a row, but for long-term farming it makes sense to spread attempts across different days.

A group at current level

If you go with friends, a single character of level 90+ is enough to safely clear the trash in a minute. Loot from elite trash mobs is distributed individually, so each raid member gets their own chance at the drop.

Collecting all four colors

With each raid reset you have a chance to get any of the four crystal variations. If your goal is to assemble the full set, keep farming after obtaining the green one: the Blue Qiraji Resonating Crystal, Red Qiraji Resonating Crystal, and Yellow Qiraji Resonating Crystal drop from the same mobs.
