I will confirm what the previous poster said. I found the alligators in the NE portion of the Feerott. After following them for a while, it appears they can go as far west as the plane of knowledge book (not quite but it's real close), as far south as the druid circle and then the north and east zone walls are the other boundaries.
It appeared that they would path fairly often around 950, -2020. Sometimes I would see 2-3 in a couple minute span there and other times it would be as much as about 20 minutes before I saw one. It could be that I had my back turned as they move pretty fast and come from a couple different directions through that spot.
i dunno if the actual spawn area has changed or if i just kept running into them in a different area of the map, but i couldn't not find any alligators on the pyramid island. after a whole lot of running around i finally found gators in the north eastern section of the map.
From what I've seen, the Gators in Feerrott seem to spawn between the bridge and the low level pyramid. They then travel to a point between the 2 pyramids by the steps leading up to CT. After they get to the steps I witnessed a couple of things: 1) They turn around and head back towards the low level pyramid. 2) They turn West and head to the higher level pyramid, and then do a U-turn back to the steps to follow pattern #1. There are a total of 3 gators that spawn in Feerrott with a 5 min respawn after kill. Hope this helps.

Was told that cazic was raised from a 30ish zone to 55+ zone, so now other than immense hours in Najena hoping pages drop for epic...where do I get em? A friend told me the gators outside of cazic near the Tae Ew camps will drop the pages is this Valid?
Yes. I was at the CT entrance today, in the middle of the Tae Ew camps, and the second "An Alligator" I killed dropped the Torn Pages of Mastery:Wind. The swamp alligators do NOT drop the pages.
For the Mage focus item quests - are the alligators roaming outside or by a pool of water or do we have to swim underwater and get to somewhere? I'm a 34 Mage looking for the shovel (last item I need) and would like as much info as possible before I camp here.
I have been camping "an alligator"s now for 8+ hrs. And, this is my experience:
1) As a 30th level mage, I am not having any trouble taking on up to 2 alligators at a time and even 3 on one occasion. All have conned dark blue to me.
2) I station myself to one side of the clearing in front of the ramp and make sure I do not get too close to the lizardmen (dark blue to red). Aggroing them means getting at least two and most of them in that area are casters, i.e. death or a quick gate out of there. The good part is that the lizardmen rarely roam. They stay put. I have only seen one wanderer, a defender. He was dark blue to me and did not aggro any other lizardmen when I killed him.
3) The alligators spawn every 10 minutes. The kicker is that 0 to 4 spawn at a time. On one occasion 0 spawned twice, so I waited for 30 minutes for a stupid alligator to show its ugly maul. They wander around the area formed by the pyramids and the foot of the ramp.
4) The items have been rare. So far, 2 rings and one stein have dropped. Other than that, I have gotten 2 words (neither one mage), 1 Ice of Velious, several chunks of meat, and several gator meat.
I will post more, if new information presents itself.
I spent 2 hrs camping mages in najeana.I only got 1 shovel and 1 words of elementaling earth. They are so easy to kill with one cinderbolt or let pet solo. There is like 12 scattered mages throughtout the temple and at 35 everything is either green to light blue. Mages always green. I never tried gators but i might try in the future for other iteams i need.
You all should try Najena for the quest items. I am a 25 mage and I looted 'A stein' from the sencond magician I killed. Then I ofund out that the focus items do not in fact work on lvl 24 pets (I had suspected this). Oh well, Ill go back to najena at 29.
They spawn near the ramp to Cazic Thule. If you park yourself and your pet between the ramp and two nearest temples you can kill the gators without worrying about aggroing lizzies.
It's not supposed drop all 4 focus items on the first gator you kill! These items were not meant for every mage. You gotta work for the dang things, quit crying. Everything in the game is not meant for everyone.
Since the inhabitants of Cazic Thule were moved to Feerrott, it now takes forever to get all four focus items. I've been there for a week and am about to ding for the second time. There are only 3 or 4 of them and the spawn rate is slow. Good luck to my fellow mages. I have a feeling I'll have spent 34 to 39 there trying to get them all. At least I can pull single lizzies from the ramp for exp.
Do those Tae Ew things aggro you? Or let me restate that-will they agrro a level 30 mage? Thanks for posting here as well, glad to get some verification these darn things still existed-and Najena is lame and useless at 30 in my experience-those mages are all trivial now.

ok i am a lvl 30 mag and spent 8 hours camping these nasties yesterday, i got three torn pages and a broom, stein, and torch withing an hour. For the next 7 hours camped them praying for a shovel. When my eyes started hurting i called it quits, is the shovel an extremely rare drop and is the torn page of mastery water an extremely rare drop, 7 frustrating hours down in the hole and nothing!
I must be lucky... zoned in and head to the tae ews looking for alligators... boom three spawned and nothing then like 5 min later i was helping two players when three more spawned... shovel was on one... overall took me about 25 min to get shovel... was really happy... took me longer to get the gargoyle eye... anyways... since it only took me alittle while to get the shovel and i was so happy i figured i'd stay a while and help the two players out... in all fairness i was using my 58 chanter to get the shovel... so of course that helped ALOT
I was in CT last night for about 5 hours. Doing nothing but gators with my group (30-34). During the night we saw 2 of the rings of evulouy (or however you spell it) drop along with 1 shovel, 1 broom and 1 stein. Fortunately I already had the torch.
My question is, what quest are the torn page of mastery earth, fire, air for? One each of those dropped also. We were fighting in the small tunnel right after the underwater swim. A bit tough to get to but we'd clear one pool, med, clear the other pool, med, repeat. Made 1 yellow 2 blue in 30 and 1 yellow 1 blue into 31.
MUST one travel down the Gator pool, and over to the ledge to camp them? Is there another spot to nab 'em where you don't have to travel underwater? I hate goin down there....*shiver*
My lvl 40 mage friend (who never bothered to get these items) and I (for my Mage Twink) camped the Gators of Cazic Thule for almost nine hours. We got 6 brooms, 4 steins, 3 torches and 0 Shovels. I shouted out to see if anyone wanted the extra Brooms or Steins for free and only managed to get rid of 1 broom, the others rotted. Anyhow, if anyone gets a spare shovel and wants to trade for either a stein, broom or torch please send Balthezaar a tell on Morrel Thule.
Went here to hunt these bad boys cause heard they drop stein, shovel, torch and broom. Yup they do and at a better rate then the lame mages in najena. I'm level 34 and they all conned either green black or blue to me. Had two people with me and within and hour i had all four items. Had to go underwater and up to some little space area but they kept coming. One guy got three yellows and leveled to 33 off these. Not bad cause i was gonna toss them a few pp but they were happy with the exp. Just watch out for others cause they will attack you if they see you taking on others. ***** najena go here for focus stuff.
These gators do drop the shovel (ID as a shovel of Earth) used as a component in the Shovel of Ponz quest from Vira in the Temple of Solusek Ro. They also drop the torch, broom and stein components of the other Mage pet focus item quests.
The current listing shows Shovel of Ponz as loot!? I believe that they DO NOT drop the Shovel of Ponz itself.
hi i have a main char of a lvl 29 cleric and i was soundering if i could do the magition vocus quest which involveskilling the alligators so please inform me
hi today i decided to do the easy part of the mage epic and gather the torn pages of elemental mastery... i hate najena so i decided to try ct to do it.
out of about 50 aligators killed (or more easily) the only drops i saw were 4 torn pages of WATER and 2 STEINS
now my question is was i just extremely unlucky to get all water elemental related items, or were the loot tables changed so that they now only drop steins and torn water pages? to me the later would make sense as they are alligators and they do dwell in water...
