This leads to a rescue quest. The actual thing you need to find is the southermost "dot" on this map: https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=7784. Make sure you have another person if you're around the level that this quest is designed for, several adds are spawned at once in some cases and as a 46 mage I cannot take four scorpids with 2500 health each at once.

Solo'd as a 48 demonology lock using the voidwalker with no problems at all. A fun and very easy quest.

Kommentar von 29076

The location of the chicken is 60, 64.

Kommentar von 23118

The path that the robot takes is right through a group of 3 lvl 47 scorpids. Fortunately you can take them out beforehand. When you get near Steamwheedle port, a group of 3 wastewanders spawn, but they're all lvl 45.

Kommentar von 4463

Its not that hard just let the chicken to be in front and get the aggro so u cna have time to rest if the mobs are more than 1 kill them 1 at time i soloed it at 47lvl shaman

Kommentar von 19357

Actually the quest gives 5450 experience and 350 rep...Completed on the 25/3/07 as a lvl 49 warrior...

Kommentar von 37106

With the opening of TBC, this quest seems to be close to impossible to finish on pvp servers without a 70 along to kill the gankers.
Two tries, headed there to see if my luck is better now. Otherwise, I suggest doing this between 4 and 6 am, where the only other ones online are bots. :)

I'm going to post this message on all three of these "Find" quests, just in case someone doesn't see it on one of the other two.

If you plan to do these quests in a group (which is very helpful, as any escort quest) everyone must first have completed the "Find" part of the quest, which means you have to find the chicken, choose "Complete" and then be *offered* the next part of the quest, which is the actual escort part. But do not accept this part until everyone has done the "Find" part, otherwise it won't be offered to them as escort quests normally are, because technically you are not on the same stage of the quest yet.

So just complete the "Find" part, then when the next part is offered, decline it until everyone is ready to accept it.

Kommentar von Polly

This chicken is located at 60,64 in the mountains.
I did this quest 4 times...
at first i failed it when the 3 scorpions spawned around us...
second time i failed because more mobs were wandering around this time...
and third time i failed because of the 3 wastewanders that spawned around us after the scorpions...
the fourth time i managed to complete it with hardly any mobs around.
The trick to completing it for me was to kind of try and roughly remember the route that chicken takes, if you can do that then you can kill any mob around that area before taking on the quest - then you can easily escort it with no trouble.

I did it with my lvl 50 Human Warrior, it was tricky even at that level...but another trick to doing it in one go especially as a warrior is to use intimidating shout for the 3 scorpions quickly kill one and if you have a good healing potion drink it and kill the other two...same applies to the 3 wastewander girls.

I'm sure many people do this quest differently but i hope this helps :)

Kommentar von 48569

i tried solo'in this quest, but i died when the first scorpions appeared im a lvl 44 NE hunter , will i need a group or do i need to lvl more

Kommentar von Sservis

If you want to solo these quests and need help, you can get Tooga to help if you haven't completed his quest (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=1560). Just be careful when the scorpians and bandits pop not to lose the chicken. On the scorpians, the adds all went on Tooga and the chicken continued on its merry way. I stayed to finish the adds and mounted to catch up, but I was a long way behind.

Kommentar von 36346

Do you only get 1 shot at this? As when I died, I no longer had the quest item.

Kommentar von Returner99

solo'd as 43 prot pala. Got 2 extra mobs on the scorpions so i had to pop a mana pot, lay on hands and bubble since i hadn't got time to rest before the chicken ran into them.

Kommentar von 14130

This quest awarded 6300 experience, 250 Booty Bay reputation, and -250 Bloodsail Buccaneers reputation when I completed it today (12/02/2007). Part of the 2.3 changes.

Kommentar von 106543

Where can i find the Distress Beacon?

Kommentar von 60687

Hehe... I did this... Was not to hard... But then again, I cheated... Since I did it as a Hunter, and as allways that's ez-mode...

Concentrate on 1, The multi-shoot, and feign death, if u run out of life.. (Well, ALMOST out of life), you should easily be able to finish them off then.. But remeber to look for mobs strolling around ur path.. ;)

And a few bandages + Health pot never hurt any1... Good luck... Rest is as posted, reguarding position etc., and the reason the quest item is gone, is that the quest is completed, once you find the chicken.. The Escort-quest is the follow-up... Just abort, and go back to chicken start-position, if you die.. ;)

Kommentar von 108737

Be sure, that the chicken always enters combat when you fight. Just get close to the chicken, and let it aggro the mob.

Otherwise, it might run forward, and you fail the quest.

Not a bad idea to do this together with the Tooga's Quest There you have to escort a turtle, but the turtle is following you, and will help you in fight. In this case the quest is easily soloable by anyone.

Kommentar von 111879

For many ppl they seem to think that the chicken is walkin, he doesnt thats the travel route he does rock, you will find him in the cliffs as ealier co-ords verify

Kommentar von 106843

Ok now spawn on this thing is really long and annoying.

I got there and someone was walking away with it. I must have waited 10-15 minutes for it to spawn again. But there i was having a snooze and someone else got it. Then 2 minutes later, when he was long gone, i realised i could have just killed him.

So yes spawn is very annoying

Kommentar von 115608

Ok that map you put on there is not even close to the right thing... heres the map with the exact location it will be every time... yes i said it every damn time.... http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r152/ryanderasp/quest.jpg

Kommentar von 110227

Exact coordinates are: 60.23, 64.73

Soloed with 46 hunter.

Kommentar von 65960

Just did, as 56 resto druid. The first time, unfortunately, as we got to the scorpid spawn point, we also had a hyena, another scorpid, and a basilisk on us. Six beasts is a bit tough, and we both died. But on the way back to retrieve my corpse, I found the three spawned scorpids still there. After rezzing, I took care of them, plus the other nearby scorpid. Then I went back and restarted the escort. When we got back to the scorpid spawn point, no scorpids!

The last ambush was three wastewanderers, one a caster. Focus on him, and the other two will go down fast. Also had a rogue wasterwanderer aggro on us at the end. I swear, we had probably another 20 mobs on us at one time or another. Stupid chicken! :D

The chicken seems to aggro beasts from a mile away, and you can't buff him. Keep an eye out!

Kommentar von Freeaze

Soloed this quest EASY as lvl 46 tauren druid!
Nothing was hard on the whole quest (exept find the chicken).

Kommentar von gingergod5

well i managed to do this solo as a lvl 49 feral druid.
pretty simple up untill the 3 scorpid's which in turn aggroed a basalisc.
for all the druids out there, just stealth, do as much dps as possible before u get to low health, switch out to bear form and use the regen ability, u should be able to get a few killed and then switch back to caster and use barkskin followed by regrown etc, finaly go in cat and rape some mobs :P

the 3 human mobs towards the end were easy to kill, cat form all the way but remember to kill the caster first.

60, 64 is the correct cords

Kommentar von 148727

idn if its just me but im exactly where im supopse to be and there is no robot chiken thing. ive logged in and out and restarted WoW but it just isnt there. i cant seem to find it, is this quest bugged?

Kommentar von 170827

Solo'd as a 44 Enhancement shaman, just stay well behind the chicken and let it tank as you eat and drink, I managed to get it to trade agro with me when ever it spawned a set of mobs and take them down. Consumed about 3 sweet nectars and a mana pot in the process but for the most part it wasn't too hard.

Kommentar von 155993

I Looked over 5 or 6 times in the spot its supposed to be and I still haven't been able to find it.

Kommentar von firecaster

wtf i dont know were to pass in this quest.i got the egg from a mob and i accepted the quest from there i dont knowq were to pass it in!

some1 please tell me! my caricters name is firecaster in the realm lethon were do i pass it in?

Kommentar von 141937

hay guys i just wanted to tell you if your on the server "frostmorn" don't do this quest it is bugged and the chicken is not there so to save time and worry just abandon it, and there is no point telling the gm thay will put you in the jail on gm island for an hour or 2

Kommentar von 78922

I cant remember which of these escort quest ive done on one of my chars. Anyone know if there is a way to tell? I know ive done atleast one but i dont know which. I dont wanna spend hours grinding the item to start the quest to eventually realise ive already done it

Kommentar von 285209

I found this quest really really easy, on a pvp server my only fear was horde ganking me on the long ass run, heres my spec:

Class: Druid
Level: 49
Spec: Ferel
Armour: 4445
Health: 3448
Buffs: Thorns, Mark of the Wild, Spirit of boar

Tactic: I started this quest in Dire Bear Form and stayed this way right to the end... tanked the 3 scorpids, hyina and a lizzard and used a Regrowth and Rejuvenate only once, i use Swipe to kill the mobs,,,, did this for the rest of the mobs on the way.... very easy quest.

Kommentar von 150308

Did it a a level 43 frost mage, was pretty easy

Kommentar von yunusual

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

Kommentar von 241411

If you can't remember which (if any) of the OOX quests you have done,a GM should be able to tell you,as long as you give the quest names in your request.
Also,the two letters at the end of the name indicate the location (in this case TN=Tanaris),something I hadn't noticed till the GM I spoke to pointed it out to me.
GM wait times are pretty long atm,so have patience,and ask nicely :P

Kommentar von 240261

This robot chicken distress beacon is dead, so what you find on the npc map it isn't true. It is in one place as Lizir said 60,64. The next quest shows truth in the map, so if you want to know where he'll be walking (which you'll be walking as well because you have to guard him) you can look at it. Remember, if your under level 45 then get some help that is a level 45 or higher.

Kommentar von FeyGyrl

Confirmed, if you fail the escort once, you may go back to the robot chicken & accept the escort quest, again. 60.3/64.7 in the mountainy range near coast is where to find the chick to take the escort quest. At level 62, it wasn't oo bad at all, but I did fail it miserably at the caster/void walker combos the first time, when I was lev 44 pally. And I wanted the chcik badly enough that this time I used my bubble. ;0)

Kommentar von 172970

Don't forget if you don't want to do the escort part or you are unable to at the time you can at least find the robot turn in the quest and still get a nice chunk of XP. You can always go back to the escort at a later date to do the actual escort. Great espcially if you want to get that dumb beacon out of your bags =]

Kommentar von dirktooth

Easily soloed at lvl 42. But the quest the ckicken givens you is a little harder. But with a little help from healing posions i only died once! ;)
Must be waaaaaay to easy at lvl 48

Kommentar von 89365

I CAN'T FIND THE BLOODY CHICKEN GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I LOOKED WHERE THE CORDS SAID BUT ITS ON A MOUNTAIN AREA AND I CAN'T FIND ANY PATHS TO ANY CHICKEN

Kommentar von 426853

I was having some serious issues finding this chicken after having failed and abandoned the escort way back at level 40-ish. I asked a GM about it and was told that the chicken can spawn at one of many locations, which doesn't match up to what I read here. I wasn't sure if anybody else can confirm or deny this comment. Also, the GM gave me a handy tip, use the "track low level quests" ability from your tracking button to find him more easily.

Kommentar von Maliander

This quest, along with the other chicken rescue quests, has been shortened significantly in patch 3.2: After the first ambush pack has been defeated, the chicken will fly off and you will complete the quest. No more hikes through half of Tanaris, fending off multiple ambushes!

Kommentar von 412249

did this on a 44 Tauren Shaman...right when we got to about 59,54 the chicken put out some dialogue and then flew off and the quest was completed

Kommentar von 431813

when i go there the chicken(who's laying on the ground) dosen't give me the quest(same for the one in Feralas)
theres no !
i tried once the one in Tanaris and failed it but not the one in Feralas
but no trouble whit the one in the Hinterlands
i need help... =D i want that pet hehe

Kommentar von Grendalsh

Just did this quest, and the chicken.. er.. homing device.. took off after we got to the entrance to the Caverns of Time. Either it bugged or Blizz significantly shortened the escort portion.

Kommentar von Tiffle

If you happen to ask an ingame GM for clues to which Beacons you have done, be sure to ask which chickens have the quest already on them aswell (as in, found the beacon but didnt do the escort). My Gm responded with "just hinterlands" (amidst a heated discussion about the contagiousness of gnomism) and i ended up having to go to tanaris and feralas aswell because i had those beacons but didnt do the escort.

Logically the GM was right since i asked "which beacons should i still search for".

All in all: SPECIFY YOUR QUERY :>

Kommentar von 582278

are you all sure the scorpids that spawns are that high lvl?

Kommentar von Bodda

Okay, I was searching that tiny chicken for about an hour now... but underground, at the insect swarm. I didn't know that it isnt there -_-

At all: It is at 60,64, but NOT UNDERGROUND ! ;D

Kommentar von 439186

If you're a high level character and can't remember which quests you've done, you should first check the chicken before blindly farming mobs in Zul'Farrak for hours. It turns out I completed the beacon part back in the day but never finished the escort part. The beacon and escort parts are technically two separate quest lines.

Kommentar von 633726

i did the escourt one with the scorpions, and the first time me and the chicken died....i tryd it agen and walked stealthed with him so i could ambush the spawned mob. but when he sed he detected danger or what ver he waited a while and flew away and i could turn it in. som1 els sed they did the same so if ur a roug i recomend trying this

Kommentar von Aniko79

Just to reiterate what was mentioned in previous comments,
Find OOX-17/TN! and Find OOX-22/FE! must be completed before starting the escort quests. However, Rescue OOX-09/HL! can be completed without having done Find OOX-09/HL!
Hope this clears up any confusion. :)

Kommentar von 560392

Went to do this today and the chicken wasn't there, if someone is doing this quest or the chicken is dead he may disappear for 5 minutes or so.

Edit: Ok after accepting this quest the chicken begins to walk his usual route, when he gets near COT an event spawn is supposed to happen but since someone had done the quest just before me, no mobs spawned and after about 30 seconds the chicken rocket packed back to safety and the quest completed. Much easier escort, only 1 encounter and it bugged, very easy 18k exp (finding + rescue).

Kommentar von 617575

To pick up this quest, you have to kill mobs until one of them drops this.

Kommentar von hockeytownrox

I went back and followed many of the posters' directions for these and found this to be true:

In work on the Tanaris one...I went back and noticed that years ago I had completed the "FIND" part of this quest. But I never rescued the thing. Odd, I know. So I was wondering if that meant I could just go find the robot that used to be in the mountain area south of COT and there he was. I just had to click on him and escort him and done. I did NOT have to farm drops for this drop to star the rescue component...not sure if you have to if you've never done the find part. They are two different quests.

Kommentar von Grukam

Findet OOX-17/TN! Best place I found to farm for these is in ZF As a lvl 85 warrior I found 33.85, 7.12 the bottom of some steps that are covered with Sandfury of all types the area below the steps is also. Real easy pulls into groups and quick drops at least at my lvl. Do the steps in a zig zag starting bottom right and on up to the top and pull all done to about mid point. they will all pretty much stay as one big group this way and are pretty cooperative about staying mostly in front. AoE and your best group shots will drop all pretty quick. The ones down below best pulled as 2 or 3 small groups or they all won't pull together. The ones you don't pull won't pay any attention to you while you loot. Just watch for the Axe Throwers as they tend to stay back and well, throw axes at you.

Did one run through to fill all of my 22 slot bags and no quest drop. Went to the little camp outside of ZF to empty my bags roughly 15 gold and many stacks of silk and mageweave cloth which are going to AH. Went back and on my first pass on the stairs I found 5 of the quests had been dropped plus one more down below. You can only carry one at a time but this was a very profitable way as well as quick to find this quest.

Findet OOX-22/FE! Best pickings I found for these are was while farming the whelps in Feralas for Tiny Emerald. Usually never fails to pick up one within less than 100 whelps.

I'll try to update on the Hinterlands one after I finish up the ZF find and get on out to look for it.

Sucht OOX-09/HL! OK as I said. I went to Hinterlands to Jintha'lor as this area showed the most of the Vilebranch which drop this little beauty. I didn't even get to clear the place by much more than half and found one.

If you're trying to do these as you lvl up they are going to be considerably harder. Having flying skills and mount makes them much easier to get to as well as dealing with the mobs. I recommend to wait until lvl 70 with flying mount and do them all as one group. I've been reading about whether or not you did one already and bugs due to patch changes etc. This would be pretty easy to do all in one morning/afternoon after lvl 70.

Do Feralas and Tanaris first and second then head to Hinterlands as the last one finishes in Stranglethorn and the final turn in is in Booty Bay.

Final note. Took all 3 completed to Booty Bay and turned in without a glitch.
Hope this helps.

Kommentar von seitori

For those of you working on reputations, you can get a little (or a lot, depending on your luck) with the Steamwheedle Cartel reps by farming the Southsea pirates for your beacon. There's a bunch of them on the outer edge of the Caverns of Time mountain.

Kommentar von sandyra

For those trying to hunt down:

OOX-09/HL-Notsignalgeber from The Hinterlands (Personal stats: Killed some stalkers, some trolls, some owlbeasts (about 20 all told)... Then killed my first ooze at Skulk Rock, and it dropped)
OOX-17/TN-Notsignalgeber from Tanaris (Personal stats: Went into Zul'Farrak like all other posters recommend, killed some twenty or thirty trolls and scarabs, and it dropped from one of the troll corpses)
OOX-22/FE-Notsignalgeber from Feralas (Personal stats: As recommended by many other posters, Feral Scar Yetis - dropped on my first kill)

Only available if you have not already completed the quest.
Yes these still drop in Mists of Pandaria.
Yes it can drop off ANY mob in the respective zone, however OOX-22/FE-Notsignalgeber has the highest drop rate from Wildschrammyeti IF you haven't already done the quest.
It WILL eventually drop - some days RNG is your best friend, other days you want to repeatedly punch a kitten (or other obscenely fluffy creature) just to illustrate how cruel the universe can be.
The command to check if you have completed ANY of the distress beacon quests is here (special thanks to MrsSushi for locating the updated version of this as of 5.0.3):

/run local z={"Tanaris","Hinterlands","Feralas"}for k,v in pairs({{351,648},{485,836},{25475,25476}})do print(z)for i,q in pairs(v)do print(" #"..i,"\124Hquest:"..q.."\124h\124h" ,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(q)and COMPLETE or INCOMPLETE)end end

You will see lines of dialogue that look like this:
Tanaris
#1 Complete
#2 Complete
Hinterlands
#1 Complete
#2 Complete
Feralas
#1 Incomplete
#2 Incomplete
After completing all three escorts, you can then acquire the quest Ein eigener OOX and get your Mechanisches Huhn.

Happy hunting!

Kommentar von Mathaylla

I went to find the quest item on my feral druid - as people have suggested, I tried farming in ZF, at ~33,7 where I can just swipe my way through the dozens of mobs on the stairs. After 300 mobs, the beacon still wouldn't drop. Considering that prior to that I spent 3 days decimating the population of Hinterlands for the OOX-09/HL Distress Beacon (which as of this moment still hasn't dropped) - I was about to start ripping my hair out. I ran the macros that I got in this thread, double- and triple-checked the quest IDs but it kept showing me that I have not completed these quests yet.
So I decided to go to Feralas since that drop rate is almost guaranteed - and indeed, I got the OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon on my second yeti kill. So today I figured I need to try Tanaris again - I landed on the ZF stairs, swiped across a couple dozen mobs and the 2nd mob I looted dropped the beacon. Go figure.

Kommentar von 945226

Can someone screenshot the macro? For whatever reason, it will not work for me for the life of me. I've tried the chat box and a macro icon itself.

Kommentar von cswidow

If you have picked up this quest before but abandoned it, go to 59,64 in Tanaris. The chicken there will have the quest.

Kommentar von 717732

Sandyra you helped me so incredibly much! I am a big pet collector and I have been trying to figure out how to get this guy for months and I got him in about 2 hours thanks to you. Easiest to understand and most helpful comment on here by far!

Kommentar von janan2

I have found that when doing the quests to rescue the chicken, make sure it is far enough ahead to pulll the mobs to him and not you. Once they start to attk him you can join in the fight when necessary. If there are more than one then do what you can to pull one off for you to fight and then they don't all aggro on you. Worked for me as a lvl 49 hunter.

Kommentar von 1014452

Sandyra, your scripts worked great! Thanks!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got mine off a random mob in the zone so I'm sure it can be any...

Kommentar von Thottbot

This thing likes to wander into crap.

Sometimes it (the robot chicken) walks into groups of 3 level 45ish mobs.

All told he probably walks into:

2 x 3 mob groups
4-5 x 1 mob

Kommentar von Thottbot

The robot chicken is located at 60,65.

You have to walk into the Gaping Chasm and take a left. He is up a hill.

If you stick to the sides (the rocks), you won't aggro any toons.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got it to work on 2/19. He was actually at 60,64 and not actually in the gorge zone, it's still in tanaris on the north edge of the gorge. There was one bad spawn of scorpions but pretty easy other than that.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found it at 60,64.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Found it at 60, 64

Kommentar von Thottbot

start at 60,64(in the mountains)
quests is repeatable..just go 60,64 and start it again

soloed as lvl 48 mage.

1. kill FIRST 3 scorpions(they are close to each other) on the way to Steamwheedle Port THEN START THE QUEST
2. dont attack mobs that are following your chicken(notice they do NO damage to him), attack those which your chickens attack. Usually your chicken will give You worning message.
3. Chicken will be attacked by 3 lvl 44 bandits(mage +2) - thats hardest part.
4. go to booty bay :D

general tip: after a fight regen then follow your chicken on your mount

Kommentar von Thottbot

I love how blizzard puts these kinds of quests in just to mess with us. I also love the sence of humor they have with their quest systems...unlike other games, wow is very enjoyable; despite oftentimes being hard. If you wanna complain about these quests, that obviously means youve tried them a few times, which makes the game even better. If all quests were easy and predictible lvling would be sooooo boring. To enjoy the chicken fully:

1.If your chicken won't prompt( start moving) its probably because someone else is doing the quest, not because blizzard is dumb >.<

2 stay a good distance behind your target chicken, if there's a single mob that starts running after the chick, it will evade, however if you catch aggro....the chicken will ignore you as well!

3. Have lots of pots and bandages, the spawned mobs are not random and are always in the escorts usually in groups of 3. You cant heal your chicken but you can heal yourself!

4. Everyclass has good crowd control, use it to your advantage and usually your able to solo!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found the chicken in the mountains NE of the Gaping Chasm, in a small clearing. You should get the gold icon indicating his position on the mini-map when you get close, so he's not that hard to find.

Other than random mobs the chicken picks up while walking, there are two spawns you have to fight. The first are 3 level 44 scorpions. The second spawn is 2 level 44 bandits, a level 44 caster and a level 44 voidwalker (4 total).

The funny thing is, when walking, the chicken moves at a speed that any mobs that aggro onto him will chase, but when they stop to attack they get left behind and run to get him again, and never catch up. Any that are doing this, you can ignore. The only time he'll pick up mobs is when he runs right over them.

Once you finish escorting the chicken to Steamwheedle, you have to go to Booty Bay and talk to Oglethorp Obnoticus to finish the quest. Congratulations! The chicken loves you.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I'm not sure why people are having trouble figuring out where to turn in this quest, it tells you right in the quest log - unless it's because Oglethorpe Obniticus can be a bit hard to find in Booty Bay.

Start at the main dock level, same one where you catch the boat to Ratchet. Head UP the ramp in the main shop area. At the top of that ramp you should see the goblin Fin Fizracket laying down in a makeshift wooden tent. Turn to the left and do a 180 degree turn and go UP that ramp as well. Go straight ahead and take the first door on the right. You'll see Oglethorpe Obniticus standing there in the middle of the room, a bald gnome engineer with goggles. Talk to him and you're done!

If you can't use either of the items and need to vendor them, take the shield (Optomatic Deflector) as the reward. It vendors for 1g 59s, more than the Thermotastic Egg Timer at less than 1g.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Tip on this quest: When escorting the chicken, stay away from the mobs, and let the chicken pull aggro. DO NOT attack the mobs unless the chicken stops and attacks them, because many times the mobs wont hit the chicken, only chase him. Every now and then the mobs will hit the chicken successfully, but most of the time, they wont touch it for some reason. The only time it never works is against the 3 scorpions and the 3 wastewanders. You have to kill them.

Good luck, have fun!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found this guy at 60,64 in Tanaris, kinda up in the mountains. Have fun!

The screenshot above shows you exactly where it is, it is also marked by a yellow dot when you get in rage with the mini map.

I can't give coords as my Pc hates most of those addons.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Which mob in Tanaris is most likley to drop this quest?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have yet to see anyone mention the fact that if you do all three chicken quests, (ferales, hinterlands, and tanaris) that he rewards you with an extra 7500 xp... along with a chicken that you can summon... after you turn in the last chicken quests just talk to him again.

Kommentar von Thottbot

So what happens if you die and the chicken dies?
Can you repeat the quest?

Because you put the item from the quest in the chicken, so it can walk.

But if you fail the quest, you have no item for the quest?
So you can't do it again if you fail?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Seriously...$%^& this chicken.

When I read the posts on this quest I realise that lots of them were lucky. did this as a level 51 hunter and it wasn't that easy. It started off okay, me and the chicken strolled off towards Steamwheedle, the chicken is level 42 so it pulls aggro if it can. We came across 3 scorpions close together by some rocks (they appeared to be linked). I had noticed these on the way to the chicken but had left them. Naturally the stupid bird heads straight for them! Then a basilisk joins the fight, just as I thought it couldn't get much worse a hyena joins as well. All looking to eat the stupid bird! First my pet dies, then the chicken dies and then I run away!
I recover and rez my pet, this time I get sneaky because I know the chickens route! I head back to the scorpions and massacre the surivors, and basically kill anything that the chicken might come accross to that point. Then I speak with the bird again and off it waddles. This time it is much easier, no scorpions to ambush me and we head off towards the port. Depending on the mobs patrol patterns you can be lucky and not pull any aggro on the way but if you are unlucky the whole walk is one big battle! I seemed to fight the whole way but only single mobs. You get ambushed by 3 pirates but they went down quite easily compared to the scorpions.
So, if you want an easier run kill the 3 scorpions before speaking with the chicken. They are not hard to find as they are close by the start point, by some rocks, imagine you were going to walk to Steamwheedle and you will find them about 45 seconds into the quest I reckon.

What a hassle to find. To all you cosmo's user's the exact location is 60,65... Then it turns into an escort quest, make sure you have minimal 2 45's and you because you come to a group of 4 lvl 45 scorps @ once. Otherwise, decent XP for finding (4700) and escort was 5000xp

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When i accepted the quest nothing happened. the bird just sat there. i abandoned and tried again but same thing happened. other two worked fine. anyone else had this prob?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I solo'd this with my level 48 pally. How i did it was when a group of scorpions/hyenna/pirates were aggro'd by the chicken i waded in and cast consecration then judged seal of light and cast another seal of light on my first target in the group. From there i chain cast consecration and whenever seal of light was about up i judged it on the next target and recast seal of light. Keep repeating this for all multiple mob situations.

As a pally all you can do is grind these mobs out one at a time and keep aggro with consecration. Remember to have several instant mana potions along on this quest to keep your mana up and blessing of wisdom on at all times.

Impossible at lvl 47 warr ~~ hate this Q

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried it twice with my 46 priest not enough power to complete. Saw a 47 pally heading for the chicken after third failure and followed him. We grouped and made it with no problems. All three are great quests (rescue in HInterlands and Feralas) and the chicken is mine :-)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this quest for first time on my hunter soloed it at 44 no problems at all easy quest just have to know when to run and when to freeze mobs

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found the chicken no problem, but it is stupid as hell! I was doing fine untill 3 scorpions, 2 basilisks and a hyena attacked the thing all at once! Going to try killing on the way to it and hope that helps!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok, you have to get the robot chicken to a point just south of the Caverns of Time. At that point 3 lvl 47ish scorpids will spawn after you kill these, and anything else that has agroed, he will rocket away. If you are getting near and there, are any mobs are near, you better pull them before he triggers the final 3. So, if you want to be safe, start at the Caverns of time and kill everything south until you get to the chicken and hopefully you won't run into much trouble on the way back. I soloed this as a 48 Warlock, but was oom and my blue guy and I were almost dead at the end. I didn't se the mounted trick before I did this, so I don't know which way is better. Good luck.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

where is gaping chasm

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i got killed by the scorpions but i can't try again. all i can do is click on the chicken but it won't start the escort over. do i need find the beacon again?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just a reminder about escort quests...You cannot get too far away from the mob you are escorting.

It is just a risk I have to take in order to make time to play that I sometimes have to be prepared to give something up to deal with reallife stuff, such as an important phone call today. But that doesn't make it any less frustrating at the moment that the quest fails when it comes to that point. Of course the object that started the quest is gone and now I may or may not end up getting to redo this quest later.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The 60, 64 coordinates are no longer valid... I've been searching that spot now for 20 minutes and nothing is there. Will post updated coords when/if I find it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just solo'd this as lvl 45 holy spec paly....on my third atempt, 1st atempt ganked by 3 scorpions and 2 hyenas, 2nd got raped by lvl? horde priest. i advise going in a group of 2 or 3 ppl

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found him at 60,65 also.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If the chicken catches aggro, don't attack it unless the chicken itself turns around and starts fighting. Eventually the mob will go away, always just a bit too far behind it to actually attack... Most of the time, if you do engage an enemy that the chicken hasn't "seen," it will just wander off oblivious to the mob that's trying to chew you up.

Soloed this and the other two quests, very few mobs to fight besides the groups that you're forced to fight. But maybe being a 55 Warlock had something to do with it. :D

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The first time my 49 hunter and pet wiped, as several adds in addition to the first group of scorps descended on us. I rezzed and killed everything in the area. The second time, the chicken basically ran past everything, and I left pet on passive and ran away too. Except for two basilisks along the way, only had to attack the pirates.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

need help, i have found that stuff, clicked it, and entered quest, where should i deliver that quest now? and recieve other one(after complete the 1st one)?
lvl 45 fire mage

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found it at 60.2, 64.7, it's very close to the bigging open which leads into a cave. Just go NE till u find it on a hill laying.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo at 49 (hunter), pretty easy. pot once.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i cant get the freaking chicken to follow me
im a 48 lock

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this as a 48 BM hunter with a priest. First I tried to solo this but got owned by scorpions, dunno how lower levels could have done this "easily" solo but I guess I just suck. Scorpions was the only challengin part tho, if you manage to bypass that somehow this is a walk in a park even alone.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I soloed this quest as a lvl 51 pally and I can say it was nasty. I'm not sure if it was a bug or part of the quest but when the chicken agroo'ed something he didn't take any damage from it. I'm not sure if the quest was also upgraded but i got jumped by 4 lvl 47 skorpids and then 3 lvl 45 pirates. Good exp and a good sheild as a reward.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I helped a warrior with it so that he would help me in return. I'm a mage, so the AoE was cake, but he would be nice when I had to rest. So I helped him since he was already partway into it, then he said he had to go and logged. Jerk. So I go to solo it, and halfway through, two horde come and say hello. Jerks.

Next, I rez and go back to the chicken who has a yellow exclamation point, and I accept the quest. The chicken stands there and does nothing. Not sure what is happening, but I'll try it tomorrow.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I had a hell of a time finding the robot after I got the drop for the beacon. I finally found it at 60,64, its in between two hills just behind the Gaping Chasm. Its a little hard to find, and he's not always there (ie someone's escorting him at the moment, so you have to wait for him to respawn)

the best strategy I found was to try it once, and die when the first set of scorpions spawn. Then, rez and take them out, then run the quest again. He'll pull a couple of mobs to him, but unless he actually attacks them they only chase him for a bit and then run away, so I tended to stay a little back. The second ambush was a pain, and I had to rely on feign death and a fair amount of potions, but I got it. This one is nearly impossible to do solo until you're at so high a level that the xp isn't worth it. But if you can team up with a few people it doesnt take too much time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok, I escorted the chicken with a group, I was right there when the leader talked to the chicken, then we escorted it and it went to BB. Now where the hell do I get the xp from? My quest title is: Find OOX-17/TN! Did I screw this up? I don't want to go back to that chicken. TY

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found it at 60, 64 as a 43 Demon lock but didnt attack anything

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed as 52 Rogue. Tense but not too hard. Sucked waiting for Cold Blood cool down.

For the ones who dont know where 2 deliver egg, is 64, 53 or 53, 64, its near a rock, down tanaris, east. The reciever of the quest is not marked( whith the yellow dot) and is sleeping, u must search well..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just found it at 60, 64.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I also found it at 60,65. I'm a 53 rogue and I had a 49 warrior with me and we did this without much trouble.

-Elvar

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It was pretty easy. I'm a 48 warrior, fury speced. Died at first because I wasn't sure what I'd find, but after that retaliation/sweeping strikes/cleave on the first group :P.

The second group has pretty low level mobs, 43'ish, just kill the mage first it's doing most damage, otherwise sweeping strikes/cleave again and that was it.. nice quest.

It's pretty retarded tho, sometimes it won't attack your target so you gotta run after it again hehe >_<

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Found the robot at 60,65 at the beginning of the mountains in the SE corner or Tanaris

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I tried quest and failed. I then abandoned quest. Does this mean I can not do this quest again?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Coords are right. If you want to get REALLY technical, it's 60.2, 64.6. I got 4400 exp just for completing the quest to find him plus some faction.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

2 Ambushes
Happen when the Chicken stops for a little bit longer than usual.

1st of 3 Scorpions
2nd of 3 Wastewander bandits.

Found Chicken at 60,64 in South East Tanaris, on mountains
Yellow Dot shows on map, so if you can't find it at this location for any reason just wait at the Co-ords and it should spawn.

Solod at 49 Hunter, not hard even at lower levels, just takes a while.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After walking around the little mountain for five minutes or so, I finally saw the question mark pop up. Unfortunately a warlock beat me to it and it dissappeared. I kept trying for another five minutes atleast but couldn't get the question mark back. I just gave up on the quest, some kind of bug or something.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

can any one give me a good description of where i can find it? dont got cosmos..

Kommentar von Allakhazam

48 Human Warlock, this quest is quite solo-able. The scorpids that you gotta fight are tough, they almost wiped me but I just feared one and focused on the other two. The Pirates you fight later are only level 44-45, so that was no problem. I used two mana potions I think, that was it.

So yeah, easily solo'd.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

worked fine for me... watch the aggroes you get because i just killed three on aggro and then he had the "ALERT" thing goin on and 3 more came up and killed me

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was doing this no problem, then 2 horde decided to kill me jus before i got to steemwheedle. I was so close. O well, thats PvP for you.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The chicken is hidden pretty well in the hills on the southeast corner of Tanaris at 60,64. Check between Southbreak Shore and the Gaping Chasm for the yellow ? to find it.

+5050 XP
+250 Booty Bay Rep
-250 Bloodsail Buccaneers Rep

Level 54 BE Paladin

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo'd as 46 lock with vw drawing all aggro off the bird, dot dot dot wand saving mana for the time when you get close to the stealthed rogues and mage, only had a little trouble when some mounted jerk ran through my party training two basilisks and two scorpids, set vw on aggressive, ran and sacrificed, by then chicken was out of harm's way. kinda irritated i have to go all the way to booty bay to turn it in tho...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

solo'd 43 lock with vw. not terribly difficult but definately annoying.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Found chicken when I was 43, became 44 after completing & soloed escorting quest with 43 level pet. Very easy. Just use some bandages and mana potions ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

did escort twice and both times chicken disappears just before Waterspring field. First time got "failed" and i didnt even get that the second time.
possible bug? Was not far from chicken and only attack those he chose to fight... sigh. wasting half an hour running back and forth. Long escort path.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just spent a good hour in the gaping chasms, digging around in the tunnels. The spiders give you no gold. Oh,it's not in the gaping chasms? Thanks.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

...when the stupid bird runs through one group of mobs after another. We handled the pair of hyenas, and the lizard soon after that. But then it was a scorpid and hyena that left me low on mana and hit points. Potioned up just as the bird blundered right through a trio of scorpids. That was the end for both my 48 pally and the chicken.

I hate escort quests.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Waiting for it now... been walking around for like 5 minutes nothing shows up

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I got to the second trap with the pirates and the stupid chicken ran off just as the pirates attacked! Needless to say, before I could get close enough to the chicken, he disappeared. Otherwise, the quest isn't too hard. I'm a 48 hunter.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed on 49 mage. Sheep individual mobs then leave them behind, make sure you have mana pots + crystal, then aoe the scorps and pirates to death.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

He's actually at 60,64 if you want to get technical. I know 1 cord point can sometimes be a big deal.

Soloed at 46 Hunter.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tried to solo as 49th paladin. Forget it, scorps traps, giants, etc. there are too many traps! You MUST bring at least one guy along who can either tank or throw AOE damage around. At least 45 level . Period.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Tablets are easy to find.
1st head out right and than left.
2nd by the pool.
Combine it with other ZF quest.

xp 5250 at lvl 47

Kommentar von Allakhazam

this is one of the dumbest quests. I say kick the chicken and kill the allies

Kommentar von Allakhazam

60, 64

just a bump cuz this place got clogged

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Here's the trick: Just mount up. Run just ahead of the chicken. Aggro everything that comes at you before the chicken does and just run back and forth kiting the mobs behind you. Be careful not to get too far from the chicken or you fail the quest. The mobs in the area all run slow, so it's easy to stay ahead of them. Even the scripted encounters can be handled this way. Eventually the mobs will lose interest and reset to their starting position, but by then the chicken is beyond them. The Finding OOX in the Hinterlands can be done the same way. I haven't tried this method for the one in Feralas.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

LVL 48 BM Hunter, had no problems with this at all.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'ed this as a lvl 44 Hunter with pet.

It was pretty tough and my pet almost bit it with that first group of scorps when a basilisk and hyena added. other than that, was fine the whole way... started picking off mobs in the chickens path and they never aggroed the chicken.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i too found it at 60.2 64.7

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hell with this quest! Pretty much like many posters had a bunch of stupid crap hit all at once after wasting about 10 minutes escorting the chicken. Heck with it.

Kommentar von ilostmahbucket

Only a few minute respawn time - I think 3-4min?

Kommentar von TheRedDeathCo

More precisely, at 60.23, 64.72. Has a respawn time, so it might not be there.

Kommentar von Lyariana

FYI, if someone else is doing the quest then the chicken will not be there =)

Kommentar von eKatherine

When the first group member clicked the chicken to start the quest, the quest went away. We finished it but I got no credit.

Conclusion: This quest is a total waste of time. You can't solo it and a group cannot all complete it.

Kommentar von Wimbleton

The way to look at this series of quests is as a means to the mechanical chicken, so you don't really need to do them before you're ready, which depends on your class. No reason not to wait until you're 50, at which point the mobs are merely a source of stuff to sell in the AH. Then you get the chicken, which is kind of fun. You might not have gotten the maximum amount of potential XP, but so what? Think of all the hassle and frustration you avoided as well.

Kommentar von Wimbleton

I did this one the first time around with my feral and it was kind of fun but now of course the thing is MIA.

It's been some years since 2004 and the Time-Constrained Player just doesn't have the time to wait anymore. Unknown waiting times lead to unmitigated boredom which will kill any game. Why not have multiple mechanical chickens? I bailed at about five minutes. It's not like there's a meaningful reward...
