Background
Basilisks are the first BAMs you encounter in the game, at level 20. They are located in Oblivion Woods and are recommended to solo on until level 23, due to the amount of XP they give.

High levels can also farm them for Paverune of Titans and Arunic Panaceas, both quite common drops. It is very easy to solo them from level 35. However, around level 45, you can take them down in seconds, which is quite useful for item farming.
