65,45 best for me

Comment by 4119

Be prepared to kill a long time for this chain due to the low drop rate of Pristine Yeti Horns.

Comment by 7343

It depends. If you are lucky you can get the horns in a few min. If you are unlucky it can take up to 30 min orso.

Comment by Orik

Theirs some yetis along the path between Timbermaw Hold and Everlook, Do this with Wild Guardians because their a lot of Owlbeasts out their. If you go kinda northeast of Everlook, theirs some yetis out their.

Comment by Crazytroll

Got this quest as a 52 marksman hunter. When I got the quest it seemed easy enough, kill yetis that are right outside everlook. My cat bangladash from STV kept getting killed and i was having to melee so this was not working out. I flew to orgrimmar unlearned my talents for 5g and put them all in Beast Mastery. Went back and my cat dominated, took me 1 and a half hours to finish this quest when I got back with beast mastery. Good luck this quest takes a long time.

Comment by 28088

45 min for me T_T

Comment by 33094

go for the Rogue Ice Thistle yetis on the way to Everlook from timbermaw hold Felwood. They ve a better droprate then others.10 of 12 for me.

Comment by 34415

Got this quest? My recommendation is Do Not do it, reasons are as follow:
- Drop rate is really low...not even 20%
- Waste hours of worthless killing, when you can be doing some other quest that gives more exp rewards
- The fact that the end reward is garbage and the exp/time ratio will never come close to doing other quests.

Comment by 38891

in my opinion you should definetly do this quest, reason being is if u do a quest with a 20 percent drop rate thats just more exp, try around 65,41

Comment by 30936

This was a pain as a Frost Mage lvl 53. They have a lot of Frost Resistance, so beware ;)

Comment by 38338

I was unlucky... Took some hours to get them all. Took about two hours or so to get 7, and then 5 min to get the last 3. Just my usual luck.

Comment by azzgunther

The drop rate is abysmal. I would recommend that, at least, melee classes skip this quest, as it seems the Yetis have high armor and thus are not a good grinding mob. It's perhaps worth doing for the followups.

Comment by 26392

There is also a cave at 68,42 full of ice yetis and more tightly packed too so easier to work through. I'm on a PvP server so I did most of the quest in there to avoid ganking, you might want to do the same. :)

Comment by Stryfenine

The drop rate this was horrible for me...I lost count of how many I killed before I got the first one.

And they're are pretty resistant to frost attacks. (For once a good thing I'm a fire mage)

Comment by Morricone

I also had no luck getting any drops from the cave location. However, when I rode along the road between Everlook and the Timbermaw Tunnel, I killed off the wandering Rogue Yetis and the drop rate was much better! Finished under an hour.

Comment by 17369

The real reason to do this quest is because you are an engineer and want the tranquil mechanical yeti. You finish this quest first and then this quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8798 appears and you get the recipe. Enjoy!

Comment by 39479

I had high drop on the ice yeti's located by the Raging owlbeasts, but when I went over to get some Ragged and saw the Rogue Ice Yeti I didnt get any furs.

Comment by 55010

coords 67.67 on ice thistle hills
can't miss them

Comment by 60735

What are you people talking about? This is a REALLY easy quest, just grind a few south of the yeti cave. The droprate is good, i got one every 3-4 yeti i killed. Note that matriarchs and patriarchs dont drop it. They have low armor and not strong. They are great for grinding as you can skin them, they drops loads of grey items and money. So for you who say this is hard, i tell you this. Its not. Note that if you grind inside yeti cave you will find few, as most the spawns in there are matriarchs and patriarch with no droprate on the hides.

Comment by 66299

I ran this earlier in the week and the drops rates were pathetic, 1 for every 6 yeti's killed, and I had to fight a gang of five Horde hunters.

Comment by Infernus

Moderate droprate off the Ice Thistle guys at 65,42

Infernus, Dawn of Damnation, Quel'dorei

Comment by 67026

Did with a group of a 52pally and 54fire mage. Deplorable drop rate and so-so exp. I wouldnot reccomend unless you are desperate for exp. Also had problem because there was a bunch of other alliance players killing them to so on top of bad drop rate we had to wait an hour for repops.... --.--

Comment by Beviselynt

Keep in mind that only Ice Thistle Yeti and Rogue Ice Thistle drop this item! Do not kill either the Patriarchs or the Matriarchs because they don't drop it. There are a lot of Ice Thistle Yeti around 67,44.

Comment by 77981

I'm not certain, but I think the quest name 'Are we there, Yeti?' is also a tongue-in-cheek reference to how long this quest will take you due to the terrible drop rate.

Comment by lukeaxx

This quest was such easy experience, grind on the yetis until the items drop, i got the fur after about 12 kills but i think i was just lucky.

Comment by 86027

In Winterspring Ice Thistle Yeti's hang out in abundance around a cave loacted at 67.41. I experienced a 0 drop rate on the fur's If I took down any other type of yeti other than the Ice Thistle ones. I would recommend picking out the Ice Thistle Yeti's to complete the quest the fastest. Also the cave at 67.41 is where you need to go to complete the next quest in the chain.

Comment by 76210

The coords are right, but i have to say this, This was the hardest part of the quest. This part took me over a day to day, but the second part is easy, it only took about 4 kills :)

Comment by syth

Took me 34 kills (23 of the lvl 56, 11 of the lvl 55). plus 2 Patriarchs and 7 Matriarchs that got in my way.

66,43 area outside the cave was best, just went from one to the next without pause (53 hunter)

Comment by 92100

Make sure to kill the Ice Thistle Yetis only. Nothing else will drop them.
My kills:
Lv. 55 Yetis - 6 Fur / 12 Kills - 50% drop
Lv. 56 Yetis - 4 Fur / 16 Kills - 25% drop
Have fun!

Comment by 45212

65 45 coords confirmed. I had pretty bad luck with the drop rate but the yetis were pretty easy

Comment by 44372

This quest is a pain...even at 55, you will be better off skipping it. The drop rate is abysmal at best, I killed 10 and didn't even get 1 item. I skipped this quest on my last time through as well after killing 20 or so and getting only 2.

With the new changes to quest XP in 2.3....there are much easier, faster quests that will give you the same amount of XP.

Comment by 104405

ice thistle has the best drop rate

Comment by 111682

6300 exp since 2.3

Comment by darthzilla

Worst drop rate ever for a quest =/ Two hours later and I only have 7 of the 10 furs I need. This is also avoiding the Matriarchs and Patriarchs per instructions above.

Comment by 53282

the drop rate is really good right outside the city, me as a level 54 hunter got it done in under twenty minutes. the yeti's can be skinned though i do not think you can get the yeti furs from that. good luck all!

Comment by Rasztra

Best spot: 65, 41

I believe they have upped the drop-rate on the furs. I completed this quest in about 15 minutes as a level 54 fire mage. It took me 14 kills of Ice Thistle Yetis (not the Patriarchs or Matriarchs) to get the 10 furs required.

Comment by morathai

Doing this quest now as a level 55 frost mage, the drop rate seems to be poor and as a frost mage it sucks killing these with there frost resistant fur.

Comment by 125190

I killed about 50 so i had really bad luck with droprate :(

Comment by 127153

If you are a frost mage I advise you to get yourself some help. The yetis have a very high resistance to frost. I was using my fire spells on them but was consuming too much mana to make it worth while because of this bummer drop rate.

Comment by 123373

56,29, work your way down the hill and back up again. You should be able to complete the quest in about 15 min. Drop rates are 50 percent in your favor. Skin them as well if you are a skinner.

Comment by 128996

I'm about halfway through this quest, and doing the math, I'm getting a 15% drop rate.

Comment by 132657

if your a frost mage be prepared for a lot of resists as they are ice thistle yeti's i reverted to using either fire or arcane spells.

Comment by TheSteelPhantom

Quest is LAME as a frost mage, even on equal level with t he mobs. I started using the following combo to kill them off... Ice Barrier, Fireball, Fireball, Arcane Missiles, Scorch. Dead.

Comment by 128486

Frost mages have serious problem with these quest's

Comment by 133618

took me about one hour to complete it, as a lvl 56 frost mage, sometimes they resist everything, then i just switch over and use som fire spells. my drop chance was like crap!

Comment by 151058

Seems to be Bot zone Central. Rubbish drop rate as well.

Around

Comment by 149416

when is blizz gonna learn that drop rates are not something to be LOL'd at ???

Comment by zonen

cords 66, 41 found a ton of them. range from 55-58, took about 25 minutes to do, drop rate was 34%. Can skin them for thick leather and rugged leather.

Comment by Dialunande

237 Rugged Leather
118 Thick Leather
78 Wicked Claws
52 Roasted Quail
21 random greens
3 blues
1 epic
7 stacks of Thorium
3 stacks of Mithril

and 2 levels before I saw the last of the furs drop.

Did this with a group of four. Frost mage, Enhancement Shaman, Feral Druid, Disc Priest. We were killing things faster than they could spawn. Nobody else in the zone at all.

Took almost 4 hours. Far too long for 40 pieces of fur that should drop easily.
Not to mention we went from Unfriendly to Friendly farming furbies while waiting for respawn. >.>

If you're going to do this quest? Bring something to amuse yourself during respawn. I was shocked at how long it took us. None of my other characters went past 30 minutes total, even in full 5 man groups, fighting bots and other groups for spawns pre-BC.

Comment by nimajneb

Uh, either the drop rate has been fixed or i was very very lucky because i honestly got all 10 furs in about 15 mins like any ordinary quest. Don't let all the above comments scare you if you're not afraid of a little grinding imo.

Comment by 170174

If you are reading this thinking "omgz dis quest looks liek fail" - ignore these other people who missed the post that says: IGNORE THE YETI'S TO THE WEST OF EVERLOOK, GET THE ROGUE YETI'S TO THE EAST.

Much better droprate.

Comment by zagallo

As of patch 2.4.3, the furs will also be dropped by the Ice Thistle Matriarchs and Patriarchs.

Comment by SykotikKytten

Oh and, while doing this quest, watch out for azurous

Comment by archvile

it took me 15-20 mins to complete this quest with my lvl 52 feral druid. 8 of the furs from skinning and got the other 2 from corpse loot.

Comment by 188493

I completed this quest on my level 54 hunter in about 15 mins. I found i was getting the required furs from skinning the yetis tooo :) So if ur a skinner very easy quest.

Comment by 208001

Was easy with my lvl55 demo lock, and with skinning prof. Got it all within ~15 mins.

Comment by 208645

Their scaterd out i reccomend grinding on the way to find them will make up for the xp you will lose trying to complete this quest. :p

Comment by Footy

Very easy quest for skinners. 12 mobs - 10 quest items = 83.3% drop for me as lvl 54 enha shaman...

Comment by 242322

I did this quest easily as a 54 hunter.

Go to 67.4, 41.5 and kill any of the yetis you see.
Not only will the Ice Thistle Yetis drop them, but the Ice Thistle Matriarchs, and Ice Thistle Patriarchs will drop them too.
Here are my stats.

Thick Yeti Fur
Mobs Killed: 20
Items Gathered: 10
Droprate: 50%

Comment by 241670

Droprates seem to have improved; In my experience the cave east of everlook was a great place for the fur. You can also gain the fur by skinning the yetis.

Good luck and patience.

Comment by yunusual

This quest and its followups count for the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

Comment by 315649

You can kill one yeti and then if the fur drops you can skin it and get double!

Comment by 234070

In present time this quest give 150 Everlook reputation and 75 reputation with ather Cartel.

This mean if you complete any quest with Cartel and resieve for example 500rep with ratchet you will also resieve 250rep (0.5x500) with ather Cartel subfactions. Tested in Everlook and Rathet. I suppose Booty and Gat quest works the same.

Comment by sh0nuff

Ditto Yodii's comment. Even if they don't drop from the mobs, you are guaranteed at least one Fur every time you skin the bodies. Level 53 Rogue, completed the quest in under half an hour, not even actively looking for the Yeti's

Comment by 328380

I got lucky and got my 10 from the first 11 mobs I killed. However, I have skinning as a profession so do note that you can get the yeti's fur from skinning, it makes it way faster. The area I killed mine in was near the cave around 65, 40

Comment by 335858

A note to skinners: There's a 100% drop rate on the furs if you skin each one, so chances are each kill will net you two furs. Easy and quick!

Comment by 314926

Are we there yet, Shrek?

Comment by 354240

I did this quest as a 52-53 Orc Warrior (dinged half way through) and i did it all off the Ice Thistle Yeti's and it took FOREVER i only got drops about every 4-5 kills so i would definantly do this with Rogue Ice Thistle Yeti's unless u like to kill alot of things?

Comment by AzurPunk

So after 2 hours of grinding these i realized i was in a raid group.....finished the quest 10 mins after leaving...

Comment by 277098

Very VERY easy quest as a skinner. I had a 100 % drop rate on the furs while skinning them

Comment by 416415

The fur's seem to have a 100% drop from skinning ^^ took me only 8 kills or so to get the 10 required furs.

Comment by 403102

Around 66,44

If you have skinning, it goes twice as fast

Comment by 84103

Counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

Comment by 303011

Best place: Near and inside the cave: 67.5, 42

Comment by elmo7

do you NEED to be a skinner or do they drop thier fur?

Comment by joe16

Just as a heads up for those frost mage's out there (including me) these guys have a pretty good frost resistance so expect to be hitting half what you normally would with frost spells. Also, they will resist most of them anyway so try to use fire for these guys.

Comment by 337507

Got the furs today very fast. Killed the yetis infront of the cave at 65,41. Must have been buffed in some patch, because it was much worse last time I did this (during tbc)

Comment by ziggy29

I agree with the folks who mentioned that the drop rates were much better in the caves. I killed probably 15 of these outside the cave to get my first two, and in the cave the drop rate was probably closer to 40-50%.

This quest doesn't require level 52, by the way. I went through it all with a level 51 tank warrior rather easily.

This place would have been paradise if only I had skinning on this toon.

I hate that this quest is not availiable any more.
But that seems to be the song of the day.
