Is this the same item asked for by Artisan Irisi in Crescent Reach? It doesn't seem like it since you can get this quest from her at much lower levels than the zones where it drops.

Yes, this is the item that Artisan Irisi wants for the Darkhollow Geode quest, which results in the Seals of Darkhollow tradeskill book. I just turned one in on my 71 Shadowknight (though I've had the quest since very low level).
Got it without knowing what it was for on one toon, then got the task on another and sent it to them. Task didn't update by getting it off of parcel npc, dropping on ground and picking up, and shared bank. Charmed a mob, gave it the geode, invis'd, memory flux, and killed it and looted the geode and still didn't update. Location says All not DoD-only zones and I charmed it in Blightfire Moors. Repeated in Coranthus Creep with same results.
Finally tried to give to turn in NPC and it gives it back. Looks like you have to loot the normal way.
Yes, 70ish level zones. It's tradeable item though, so a low level toon can get it from various places and/or players to finish the quest at lower levels. It's used to make seal patterns that are used to make cultural seals for the slot 12s. Primarily it's for raiders although alot of the lower level stuff can be soloed by todays high level players.
Concur..dreadspire is best...I cleared Undershore 3 times....nada....literally the first mob I killed in Dreadspire (the shadowmane up the first ramp) dropped it.

While doing the Lost Notebook mission, we looted 4 of these in a single mission, dropping about one an hour at the rarest. They're really not too hard to obtain.
Droped in the instanced zone "Snarlstone Dens" while doing mission: Confronting a Traitor (normal)
I got it from the first mob I killed there: a Ragepaw hunter

Am I missing something here? This does not seem to be a common drop at all from these Creep basilisks. I have been killing them for hours in Undershore and the common drop is basilisk meat.
Update: as of July 4, still no Large Darkhollow Geode.I have been coming here almost every day now for over two weeks. Am I supposed to be doing something else to get this to actually drop?
