Yellow Qiraji Battle Tank

The Yellow Qiraji Resonating Crystal drops from the trash creatures of the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj (ten kinds of qiraji, anubisath and obsidian guards), from about one kill in eleven. The first to meet are the eight Anubisath Sentinels that stand in two packs before the first boss, The Prophet Skeram. The mount can be summoned only inside the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj.

Chance 55% per try, so about 2 tries on average — Worked out, not read as such. Wowhead's item page (read 2026-10-11) records 336,479 crystals in 3,740,865 loots over ten trash creatures (8.99% a kill), and 54,089 in 572,152 for the Anubisath Sentinel alone (9.45%). 55% is the chance over the eight Sentinels before the first boss (1 - (1 - 0.0945)^8 = 54.8%); thirty trash kills give 94%. The tooltip gives no figure

Inside Temple of Ahn'Qiraj, a raid

Nothing to unlock first: go there and take your chance.

/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.

The crystal comes from trash only, so it is not tied to a boss kill, which is why the lockout is given as none. Wowhead comments of 2009 and 2012 describe killing the Obsidian Eradicators and Anubisath Sentinels at the entrance, leaving, resetting the instance and going in again (the 2012 one counts 6 yellow crystals in five such rounds). That was not checked in the current patch; if it no longer works, the trash further in drops it at the same rate.

Two packs of four Sentinels give the eight kills counted here, as for the Green tank; the Eradicators at the entrance drop it too (8.74%). Wowhead's list has ten creatures, each between 8.5% and 10.3%:

• the Qiraji Mindslayer, Brainwasher, Lasher, Slayer and Champion
• the Obsidian Eradicator and Nullifier
• the Anubisath Sentinel, Defender and Warder

The Blue and Green crystals drop from the same creatures (a 2020 comment reports blue, green and yellow in one run); the Red one is far rarer (1.0-1.6% a kill in a 2012 comment). The crystal is unique and binds when picked up, so extra ones can only be destroyed.

The mount is in the journal and counts for the collection, but it can be ridden only inside the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj and vanishes if the rider is attacked (wiki, tooltip).

The entrance and its coordinates are the same as for the Green tank: worked out from the game's own table of instance entrances (it comes out as Silithus 24.1, 87.1, the same spot on the neighbouring map); no guide that was read gives them.

Confidence in this entry: high. Looked up in 2026.
