There seems to be a few~~ spawn ~~points within~~ the area ~~on a fast spawn, however after killing several rounds of different drakes~~ (~~varying types between level~~ 10 ~~- 23~~)~~, including a few "a basalt drake" they seemed to stop spawning~~. ~~So it seems likely that they share~~ the ~~spawn point with other non-drake spawns in the area~~.		These can spawn in the area between the Troll Shrine (point 10) and Lizard Man camp (point 9) on the [[Rathe Mountains]] map. Just keep clear of the troll guards while you hunt.

	The ~~region~~ I ~~found~~ them is ~~around~~ the ~~loc coordinates listed above~~, ~~which is between~~ the ~~Troll Shrine (point 10)~~ and ~~Lizard Man camp (point 9) on~~ the ~~[[Rathe Mountains]] map~~.		The basalt drakes have multiple spawns, as I was able to have at least two roaming at once. Your best bet to get them to spawn is to kill all roaming mobs in the area - drakes, basilisks, and lizardmen. When I killed only drakes, soon drakes stopped spawning, and when I started killing basilisks soon the area was nothing but lizardmen. But when I just kill all roamers, drakes spawn frequently and I was able to clear several basalt drakes in a single day-night cycle.

			If you hunt these in your mid-late teens you can probably get decent experience while you do it. Just keep in mind that the higher level drakes will assist one another - though its usually easy to fight them solo and even if you end up with two it probably won't be much of a challenge.
