Head on down to the deep south of Darkshore, and you'll find plenty of Moonstalker Sires and Matriarchs. Be ready for the runts the Matriarchs tag-team you with.

Kommentar von trizzet

I just completed getting the pelts, and the drop rate was 4/9 from the Moonstalker Sires and 1/4 from the Moonstalker Matriarchs. The biggest problem I had was the slow respawn rate and trying to track them down before other players got to them when they respawned.

So, basically, I had a 45% drop rate from the sires and a 25% drop rate from the matriarchs. Between the two it was 5/13 or roughly 38% drop rate which isn't all that bad.

Kommentar von 38675

60% from Matriachs 3/5
40% from Sires 2/5

took about 40 minutes, sparse spawn.
just stay around the south near border of ashenvale where you can also pick up a rare spawn strider.

Kommentar von 32783

If you ever decide to finish the quest i suggest that you kill moonstakler sires. It may be a long walk south of darkshore, but it's worth it! (it only took me 9 kills to finish the quest =P)

Kommentar von 42968

Strange one this, i had 4 consecutive drops from 4 kills then nothing for like 30 kills with nothing. I was looking round the web to see whether i was doing something wrong.

Kommentar von Catalyze

It took me 1 1/2 hours to do this quest. I really pity the folks who do not have a beast tracking ability. Drop rate:
Patriarchs: 25% 16 killed
Matriarchs: 13% 8 killed
The respawn rate is ridiculous since other people are killing them for xp without the quest and so there are few to be found in my quest time. Then to add insult, on the ruins on the south border, there is a Matriarch spawned on top of the building and you can't get to her to kill her. She just sits up there while you spend time running around looking for her type. For a level 20 quest that you are not grinding out for huge reward, this needs to be fixed. Keep a good attitude and just keep running around the area south of the Wildbend River and perhaps to the west of the road.

I found this quest pretty easy. took me about 30 minutes killing the mobs respawning at and north of 60.12

Kommentar von 27564

5/8 dropped pelts for me (4/6 matriarch, 1/2 sire). There are many, many spawns at the very south edge of darkshore, around 37,94. Took perhaps 15 minutes.

Kommentar von 61738

Took me 10 minutes or less.

Kommentar von tale

There are a lot more Moonstalker Sires and Matriarchs at the far northern edge of the zone, past Mathystra. If you have this quest when you are doing any of the Mathystra Relics, Tower of Althalaxx, or Gyromast quests, then doing the moonstalkers up north is very close by and rarely in competition with other players. (In doing this quest on several alts, I've never ever seen someone else up there.)

Kommentar von Catalyze

I have tried this quest twice at the Southern area....it is terrible down there. Go North up to 60, 9 and have a much easier time. 5 Pelts in 6 kills. Time was under 5 minutes from first kill to last kill. There is also several Copper nodes to mine and you can do any of the northern quests mentioned by the above poster.

Kommentar von blackout

I found this quest to be a total pain in the butt in the south so I went up north to do it. I found a great area at there are so many of the buggers there you have to try hard not to get adds. Also pick up the Mathystra Relics quest as you can pick up the items right around this same area.
Also the Moonstalker Sires seem to drop the item more then the Matriarchs (for me anyway), I got 3/5 of the pelts from the Sires. The Sires also seem to be lower in level on average then the Matriarchs.
For the Matriarchs I found a good tactic as a level 20 druid (non-twink, thus crap gear) was to use hibernate on the Matriarchs (normally around level 20) and switch to cat form and take out the runt (normally around level 17) I could make quick work of the runt by itself and still have time left to let my energy refill before the Matriarch woke up and came after me.
Once again watch out for adds at that location, they walk around very close together.

This quest can be a menace. Here are a few tips:
• This quest has an unpredictable drop rate. Typically a bad one.
• Moonstalker Sires and Moonstalker Matriarch drop the pelts. It is easier to kill the Sires because they do not have adds.
• The Sires and Matriarchs can be found at 60,12 and 38, 80.
• If you do this quest at 60,12, pair it with Mathystra Relics, Gyromast's Retrieval, Gyromast's Revenge, Tower of Althalaxx (Part 1) and (Part 2).
• If you do this quest at 38,80, pair it with Buzzbox 525, Onu (and subsequent quests), and The Absent-Minded Prospector (as well as subsequent quests).
• Also, if you're lucky and do this quest at 38,80 you may run into the rare spawn Strider Clutchmother.

Also note:
• This quest requires level eleven and potentially the completion of How Big A Threat?
• This quest is available to all Alliance races: Draenei, Night Elf, Human, and Gnome all can acquire it.

Kommentar von 99540

yes. this quest was a pain. to do AND to find. but the coords are 60,12.

Kommentar von 98756

dont do this quest as a lvl 18 rogue u get pwned

Kommentar von 111876

I suggest the area south of the Master's Glaive. The drop rate may not be increased, but a large amount of Moonstalkers spawn within that location.

Kommentar von 116385

Don't bother with this quest unless you reall want the xp or rewards (belt or pants) has a really really low drop rate, I killed about 30 Moonstalker Sires and Moonstalker Matriarch i didn't get a single one, it's the most annoying quest in the world.

Kommentar von entropicdragon

Leads to A Lost Master (Part 2)

Kommentar von RedBlaze

The southern area of Darkshore(39,91) is a good place to find these, if u dont see many kill the Foreststriders and the moonstalkers will spawn faster and in more number.

Kommentar von 331364

Some great posts on this topic.

Want to Confirm that there are a high number of the Sires and Matriarchs in the very far north of Darkshore about (60,9) coords wise.

Confirmed that the drop rate appears to be exceptionally higher on these mobs. However, as with most things in WoW, there are lucky streaks and unlucky streaks. I can confirm, however, that having done this quest 4 other times, always in the south of Darkshire I always had the 2 hours 3 pelts drop rate described (on a 79 Mage, 69 Rogue, 19 druid, and 23 War). I almost didn't do this quest because of the drop rate in the past. Read up and tried the North.

The Northern spot took roughly 3 minutes as a 73 Sham.

Kommentar von cumulonimbus

I tried to do this quest just as it said in the instructions, by going north. But as a lvl 15 rogue, I just couldn't make it past the nagas. So I headed south, as I had some other quests to do there, and tried my luck on the Sires there. Well, I guess I got very lucky, cause the drop rate was very high: 5 out of 6; that would mean 83%. So I guess it's worth a try, especially because there are lots of Sires down south.

Kommentar von Veph

GO TO THE MOONSTALKERS NORTH OF MATHYSTRA!

I can't stress this enough. On the little piece of land North of the naga there is a ton of Moonstalker Sires and Matriarchs. It's a nice, easy place to farm them as they're pretty well spaced out and there is no other aggressive creatures in the area. I found the drop rate to be infinitely better than anywhere else in Darkshore. Got all my pelts in less than 5 minutes.

Kommentar von Aros

Yes, that's when Grimclaw run in. And since Terenthis speaks bear he has a conversation with him. I don't speak bear so I only got one part of it.

Terenthis says: What was that noise? It sounded like a roar.
Grimclaw roars at Terenthis to get his attention.
Terenthis says: Grimclaw? Easy there, my friend... where is your master Volcor?
Grimclaw begins to moan and roar at Terenthis while stomping his paws on the ground.
Terenthis says: Whoa, whoa there, my friend. One moment...
Terenthis begins to cast a spell on Grimclaw.
Terenthis says: There... that should help. Now, tell me what's happened, Grimclaw.
Grimclaw roars at Terenthis more, but this time the druid seems to understand the bear.
Terenthis says: I understand, my friend. I shall find someone to help your master. Go back to him now, or at least stay close.
Grimclaw roars in acknowledgement at Terenthis.
Terenthis says: If you have the time, Grimclaw and his master Volcor could use your help. If you're interested, speak with me further...

Kommentar von Fiamma

As of the current patch (noted above) the first How Big a Threat? quest is no longer the only prerequisite for this quest.
You must also complete the second How Big a Threat? quest, at least I had to on my lvl 21 Night Elf Druid.

EDIT: Also, grinding the SOUTH Moonstalker Sires, I got my 5 pelts in 7 kills. Also conviniently interspersed with Grizzled Thistle Bears for Buzzbox 525

Kommentar von Thottbot

The quest says down by the river is a good place to find these moonstalkers. All i have to say is BS. these were very hard to come by down south. Probably 2 of these that spawn every 5 minutes or so. As Dr_druid said, north of the Mynstril Ruins is an awsome place. I found my first pelt down south lookin for 30 minutes. I went up north and got the rest of the pelts in 20 minutes. So dont waste your time lookin down south when the place to go is north. I hope this helps

Kommentar von Thottbot

When I did this quest, I went to the Twilight Vale. It's just north of The Master's Glaive. I killed 5 moonstalkers and got 4 pelts, but then it took another 5 moonstalkers to get the last one. It seems pretty random to me, I don't think it matters where you kill them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

it dident take me very long but just dont give up =P its a fun quest........if u do start getting bored look around cordanets 37, 92 in darkshore =P there is a great foreststrider elete =D have fun on and at those cordanets there is some gd places to finde the pelts..... if u need more help...well i cant help u ...lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

This has got to be one of the most frustrating quests I have ever done. I as well killed about 15 moonstalker sires/matriarchs without finding a single pelt. I finally found an area that I got 5 pelts off of 5 kills.

For those of you with coordinates:
The kills were at 38,81; 38,83; 37,82; 39,80 and 39,79.

For those of you without coordinates:
Follow the road south until you are in the "Twilight Grove" area. On the right, you will see what looks like 2x4's that have been made into a railing of sorts and on the left is a "street light" and (usually) Grimclaw. Follow the path on the right (headed west) until you can't see the main road anymore and start looking for the sires.

I would recommend grouping up with a hunter for this quest as they can track beasts and shorten the time wasted on this quest.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The drop rate is pretty terrible for this quest, but you can at least improve the spawn rate for the moonstalkers. They are on a shared spawn with the forest striders, so if you go around just killing the cats, they will get fewer and fewer.

If you can't find any more moonstalkers, start killing the striders and you'll soon have a fresh batch of cats.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Look around grove of the ancients, on the east side of the road... make sure it says moonstalker *sire* or *matriarch*, although the only matriarch I found had a cub with her defending her. Anyway, I only had to kill 7 sires to get the 5 pelts.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Best place to find the 'Fine Moonstalker Pelt' is definately far North, just beyond the Ruins of Mathystra.

Searched in south - hard to find the moonstalker sire / martriarch. Not many dropped the pelt.

Came up North and finished the quest quickly. Along Beach you can also pick up another quest as well: 'Gyromast's Retrieval'

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those that are frustrated with the drop rates on these...I highly suggest that you do NOT go to the south to find them. Instead, head all the way north to the Ruins of mathystra, just north of the ruins are a huge group of lvl 18+, and i got an average drop rate of 30-50%. Ive done this on 4 toons so far, and all had roughly the same drop rate

Oh ya, and theres at least 10-15 that normally spawn up there, so i rarely had to wait for respawns to get my quota

P.S. - theres also a quest you can get from the ancient in the grove of ancients at around that lvl, it starts with doing some research in the masters glaive, and he eventually sends you up there to collect relics. 2 good quests to grab at the same time, and theres even a rare spawn up there that can drop a nice blue ring for the level.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I had the quest "mathystra relics" and this one to do which worked out great. Turned Right as soon as I hit the ruins, stay on the perimeter and cirle towards the North side. The Figurines for The above meantioned quest were all along the edge in plain site... After getting them all, I was at the far north end of the ruins, where low and behold, there were a ton of Moonstalker Sires and Matriarchs. I suggest sticking to the sires - No tag-alongs. I got my five pelts in the first 7 kills... That CAN'T be luck! I think they must have fixed drop rate...
So don't get as discouraged as I was after reading all of the above posts. WELL, assuming it wasn't luck... If it was - It may suck to be you ;-0

Kommentar von Thottbot

A few hints on this one and the second part:

1. Go south on the road out of Auberdine a long way, past the double-bridge (one bridge right after another) and look for the friendly white bear on the left (Grimclaw). That area around him is full of Moonstalker cats (and bears and striders, so be careful of critters ganging up on you). The "fine pelt" drop rate is pretty good (I had to kill about 15 cats) and the cat respawn rate is fast. You don't need to know skinning to get the pelts; they're normal loot.

2. Just to the northeast of Grimclaw is the grove of ancients, with a high-level friendly there. It is a good place to run towards if you get mobbed by critters.

3. Just to the southeast of Grimclaw are a bunch of Furbolgs. Yeah, you're going to mess with them for the second part of the quest. The cave you're going to be looking for later is in the middle of their camp. Of course.

4. Once you get the pelts and go back to Auberdine, you'll get a cloak that'll let you turn into a Moonstrider and turn invisible for 5 minutes. It is also pretty good armor level, so you might want to equip it now. If you do equip it, be very careful not to right-click on it once equipped, as that'll activate the stealth mode; you'll need that later. Don't sell your old cloak, as Volcor will take the stealth cloak from you.

5. You might want to visit the inn and set your Hearthstone to Auberdine; it's handy for the second part of the quest if your toon is a lover not a fighter.

6. You now need to return to Grimclaw and head to the cave to rescue Volcor. (I'll include the tips for the second part of the quest so you've got them all in one place):

A. Click on Grimclaw and wave at him (press the Return or Enter key and type "/wave"). He'll then turn around and point straight at the cave. Follow his nose, to the east and slightly south.

B. The cave is behind a bunch of 18-19 level Furbolgs. They're easy to get past; just equip the stealth cloak if you haven't yet and right-click it to activate stealth mode. Walk right past them and into the cave.

C. There's a very tempting chest right by the cave mouth. DON'T OPEN IT! The stealth cloak will deactivate and you'll have 2 - 4 Furlbogs pounding on you if you do. (Yeah, I learned this the hard way.)

D. Volcor will take the stealth cloak when you talk to him. Don't forget to re-equip your regular cloak after he does.

E. You'll be given the options to sneak out or fight your way out through the Furbolgs. Stealth is easy: Volcor turns into a Moonstalker and runs out, then you use your Hearthstone in the cave to jump to Auberdine. Fighting your way out, for a 19-level Druid, is pretty tough.

F. If you're a Druid, you can choose the stealth option and not have to use your Hearthstone. Use the "Teleport Moonglade" item to jump straight from inside the cave to Moonglade, then catch a free flightpath to Rut'theran (talk to the elven flight master Silva Fil'Naveth at 82,12 in the southeast corner of Moonglade village). At Rut'theran, immediately catch another free flight path to Auberdine. This is completely safe and costs nothing. Your Hearthstone isn't used, and it doesn't take very long, probably no longer than running up the road from Grimclaw to Auberdine.

G. Once back in Auberdine, collect your reward (spiffy trousers and silver). Done!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Do not do this quest unless a few conditions are met: have your questlog full of quests everywhere in Darkshore and be a skinner (to at least have the feeling you are doing something useful apart from this quest); be stoned or drunk or preferably both, do it on a Sunday morning with nothing else to do, and be sure it rains outside, so u r not tempted to run outside screaming from boredom. And don't go south; there are only bears and homicidal maniac furblogs there, and don't go north walking along the mountainside, because the homicidal maniac naga's there are even worse. Getting there from the beach side is better, and there are indeed a lot of sire's and matriarchs there. In fact, there is a terrifying amount of them in a small spot, and they have a pet which attacks u as well, and have the aggro range of my nasty old neighbor. Oh, and one last thing: whatever you do: DON"T die. The amount of time it takes you to run back to your corpse makes you want to quit playing wow and grow tomatoes instead.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I think getting the pelts is all in the luck of the draw. I have done this quest several times and some toons have problems getting pelts and some do not. If you are in the midst of the Sires and Matriarchs in the south have patience. The pelts will come. There is also an elite Strider with two pets that gives some good loot, so if you see her, ATTACK! Have fun.

Kommentar von Thottbot

guys the best place for these is the very north of darkshore

Kommentar von Thottbot

you imbisile (sorry for my spelling) fools. hwo the H*L* dont know where to find fine moonpelt @#$% thing. the thing is where to finnish the quest. after you take all the pelts where to go then. FU**ERS.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I got all of mine South of Master's Glaive in like 5min.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You can collect the pelts from both the Moonstalker Matriarch and Moonstalker Sire. They are located in the southern area of Darkshore.

Kommentar von Thottbot

i got 4 of these but to get the fift is impossible why?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Another gathering quest. If your looking to level quickly skip these. I hate gathering quests. They make the game too boring!

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have done this quest 4 times and the drop rate stinks, you run around trying to get the hides forever. Yes it a feel good quest at the end but it isn't worth the aggravtion. It ends up being a pain in the backside. Don't do it you can skip it

Kommentar von Thottbot

the drop rate is alright. i got the most south of masters glaive and remtravels excavation. the were moonstalker matriachs, they had pets so be careful.

Kommentar von Thottbot

for those of you getting frustrated it is only moonstalker sires that give you pelts. took me a while to figure it out lol

Kommentar von Thottbot

Seems like the cloak is worth keeping - a charge of 5 minutes invis?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you go way north past the ruins.. they drop pretty fast. Got mine in about 30 minutes

Kommentar von Allakhazam

They drop about 1/5 kills or so.... such a pain.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I could not find enough down south. One moonstalker is stuck in a tree and you cant kill him. The respawn rate is way to slow. Ill try up north tomorrow to see what I need.

I spent an hour just looking for my last one - no luck

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This may seem a stupid question, but do these pelts actually "drop"? I've killed over a dozen sires and a couple of Matriarchs in both the south and the north, and I haven't gotten anything but a couple of furry paws - do you need skinning skill to get the pelts? I did this a few months ago with my Hunter (skinner/leatherworker), and don't recall any problems - but my Druid (herbalist/alchemist) is coming up dry. Thinking of dumping this line, if anyone can tell if they did it without skinning I'd appreciate it!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

100 Rep with Darnassus.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The How Big a Threat chain from the same guy is a prereq.

I could not get it at all as a level 18 Dwarf Priest until I completed these and even then it didn't automatically lead into it, I had to speak with him again.

There is clearly a prereq based on the initial words of the quest:
"<Name>, your skills have already helped me"

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I would like to know what you get from doing this quest. As in xp, money and or an item. I saw the post about rep which is nice but I am wondering if all this is worth the trouble. Thanks

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I was trying to raise my unarmed combat skill while collecting these pelts. I killed many (matriarchs and sires), but only got one pelt. I came back later and ran through killing the stalkers with my weapons and got all my pelts within a few kills. Does wow take into account how you kill things? Perhaps I bludgeoned them too poorly to get a pelt out of them with my bare fists versus a cleaner, quicker kill with sharp weapons. I am uncertain as to how much validity this holds, but it logically makes sense.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

When u say the ruins to the north do u mean the bashal aran or past the tower?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

when u say ruins do u mean the bashal aran or there some more north of tower?

I killed Moonstalker Matriachs and only needed to kill 8 to get 5 pelts.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've killed 40 Moonstalker Sires and got 4 so far :/ And theres not much of them.. i can find one every 5 min

Kommentar von Allakhazam

north of Ruins of Mathrasta(sp?) is the best place.

60,9

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The absolute best place I found with tons of sires all 17-18 (and I had this quest done in 10 minutes) was 38,78 / 38,80 and 40,80.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You'll find the Moonstalker Sires traveling south through darkshore. Around where the bear Grimclaw is on the side of the road. LVL 17s and 18s mostly.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Did this as a Lvl 15 Druid, with a Lvl 16 rogue.... very hard to solo. Went to the moonstalkers south, path to the ones in the north was hard to get to. Anyways, died 2 or 3 times took well over an hour to do. Not an easy quest.

-J

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you go south of the Widebend River those Moonstalkers will drop. The ones by the grove of -Ancients will take you forever... And they are 17-18 lvl

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I definately recommend going up north past the ruins. Moonstalkers all over the place. I spent 45 mins down south and couldn't find very many moonstalkers. Up north is nothing but moonstalkers.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I think it was better in the north spot (north of Mathystra). The respawn rate is SLOW but there seems to be more moonstalkers to the north. Once when I tried the south spot someone must have been there just before me because I couldn't find any moonstalkers at all.

I am a druid and when I went after the matriarch, what I did was put the hibernate spell on the runt, gave the matriarch a hit of starfire, wrath and moonfire, then I shape shifted to the cat. Could kill both with no problem. oh yeah, I am a lvl 22 but did start this a few levels ago but kept giving up because the drops were hard to come by and the respawn was so slow.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

how do u obtain this quest i cant seem to find it is there a preq or something?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I went to the south across from the Grove of Anceints got mine In 15 minutes as a level 19 Hunter with a level 19 pet(bear) have a knife with 18-23 damage +2 spirit +2 agil. All my armor has been upgraded got an orb in off hand with +4 strength +2 health ......My bear has all his trainig up to level 3 and he is set on aggresive he handles the Bears while I kill the Moonstalkers

Kommentar von Allakhazam

well tbh moonstalker matriachs pretty much drop them every time because they are a difficult foe so i recommend if u can take a lvl 20 and 17 at the same time, go south just near the ruins just past grimclaw there are a few matriach spawns over there

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As a hunter, i turned into the stalker, but noticed my pet was still out, so tried to dismiss her, but the spell cancelled, and now I can't turn into the stalker any more! If I abandon the quest, can I do it over?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Confirmed 61,10 (Way-North, Darkshore) for best location.

I focused on the sires rather than the ladies with cubs.
Solo'd at 17 as feral druid. Would recommend casters to group up just incase your ganged.
4/5 sires i killed there dropped the pelt (found my 5th earlier in the south).
Southern darkshore has the sires too but with a hidious drop rate, stick to the north.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The cave where Volcor is at 44.85

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Is is just me or has anyone else found the stuck Moonstalker Sire at 60,13? For some reason it's respawned inside a tree and can't attack you. However, you can't attack it either because it evades all attacks. Iv'e found it like this twice, though the first time I found it I managed to kill it. Wierd.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just a tip to those who use the map-coords...

If you hang around the coords -> 61,9 you will have no problem finding them, though, cuite low respawn rate =/

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This part took me longer than if I would of done it with someone. I did it solo. You get the fur's from the lvl 17 to 20 Moonstalkers. They are way north of town past Cliff Springs and way south past the Grove of the Ancients. Tis good to do this part of quest with someone cause its usually 2 Moonstalkers to You. If you solo it plan on dying alot.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed this with my lvl 19 rogue. Died once when i got 1 add too much. Else, it's quite an easy one for a rogue. I got all pelts after 9 kills.

Place: North of Ruins of Mathystra
Need to: Kill Moonstalker Matriaches
Exp: 1550 at lvl 19 and reputation increased with Darnassus.

Moonstalker Matriaches have a minion with them called Moonstalker Runt lvl 17. So if you can kill one lvl 19 and one lvl 17 you can solo this quest.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

So I looked everywhere in the south for these guys and found them sporadically placed and only got 1 pelt from all of the ones I did find. Then I read on here that some were to the north so I went there and found a good bit of them at 62, 10. They also had really good drop rates.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Don't waste your time anywhere else: 61'10. Too many to count, took less than 5 minutes. Lvl 18 Druid.

Edited, Dec 27th 2007 9:46pm by Zenwalker

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I just completed this annoying quest, after killing over 50 matriarchs and cubs in the south and only getting 2 pelts, I went north. Above the Ruins of Mathystra (full of Naga) there are solo Sires and Matriarchs with cubs. Best of all, very few wandering mobs and no bears at all. The drop rate seemed much higher too, as I got 3 more pelts in under 10 minutes. None of the beasts up there were over level 19 either, green to me at 22. It's also much closer for the quest turn-in which is in Auberdine.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

61,10 is correct as far as there being so many more sires and matriarchs. No bears either. Much better drop rate as well.
If you want to avoid the naga at Mathystra just run along the edge on the beach side around the ruins. Didn't pull a single mob.

Thank you World of Warcraft! I am now a level 23840053046056 rogue who happens to be a billionaire now from selling bear paws and teeth because I have wandered the woods since the beginning of time looking for Moonstalker sires. Good progress though, last pelt that I found was 15 years ago and now I have 3 out of the 5 needed!

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the drop rate on these is like one in a million

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Soloed this as a Lvl 16 Druid. Found 2 Matrarchs with cubs popping at an old temple near the Southern zone line. I could'nt handle the Lvl17 cubs AND the 20 Matriarchs. A single Sire popped every 20 minutes or so. I hung around an hour or so and got 2 pelts.
A small group came and camped so, fed up, I left to farm Bear skins. I chanced upon a White PvP Bear a little bit North of there who turned out to be Grimclaw, who figures in the 2nd part of the quest. I found many Sires there, on both sides of the road, and gained the other 3 pelts very quickly. Be cautious of the bears in the area.

For those playing Classic: Don't bother with the Moonstalker's down in the south end of the zone, just go further north around 60, 10. There are a ton more there. Much better farm spot. I also have decent drop rate here, contrary to everyone talking about the terrible drop rate in the south. Might have some trouble getting past the nagas though, they hurt like hell.

Definitely concentrate on the Sires. They seem to drop the pelts more than the Matriarchs.

AKA committing mass genocide on moonstalkers and still not getting enough pelts.

I got all 5 pelts from the southern spot, close to the Remtravel's Excavation and The Masters Glaive. There is lot more of single Moonstalkers there (they do not attack in pairs as in the northen spot) which is easier if you play alone. Got all five within the third respawn, so it did not take long.

Wie groß ist die Bedrohung? is a prereq, don't need to do the second one in that chain

This seems to have a very low drop rate for Fine Moonstalker Pelt. -4/10 would not want to do this again unless I was doing the quest with a friend in the same room or on voice chat (disc/vent).

I only found 3 questing in the SW porting of the area, southwest portion of the Twilight Vale, South of where you do The Master's Glaive quest. I killed probably 35-40 Moonstalkers. So, I, a Night Elf Druid, ported to Moonglade, and took the flight path back to Auberdine, to go to 61, 10 like the comments suggest. It was there that the drop rate was 2 / 10ish and with the Sires. The Matriarchs are a waste of time.

What a terribly made quest. The drop rate is way too low. The spawn rate is way too low. These mobs don't seem to have any loot table at all. This might be the worse made quests in all of classic wow. Whom ever made this is a sick sob and has caused more pain than any one person should get away with.

I killed the neighbor's cat after completing this quest.

Why, you say?

It's because this is one of those infamous quests from Blizzard where you spend an acceptable amount of time collecting all but one of the quest items (in this case, there are five to obtain), but then for the last one, it takes forever.

Yes. It took me 12 kills to get the very last quest item. That, plus the fact that the spawn rate is worse than Joe Biden's brain activity, meant that I must have spent almost a half hour getting ONE %^&*ING MORE QUEST ITEM!

This is why I don't pay to play this game. If it was more balanced and better constructed, maybe I would. But, until that time, Blizzard is going to let me play at their expense.

Oh, and if my neighbor comes over and asks me if I've seen his cat, he's getting a punch in the stomach.

Beschreibung

<Name>, Eure Fertigkeiten haben mir bei meinen Bemühungen sehr geholfen. Kann ich es wagen, Euch dennoch erneut zu bitten, Grimmklaue und seinem Meister Volcor zu helfen? Ich könnte Euch dazu einen magischen Umhang anfertigen, mit dem Ihr ungehindert an den Kreaturen Dunkelküstes vorbeigelangt, während Ihr nach ihm sucht.

Um den Umhang anzufertigen, benötige ich fünf Mondpirscherpelze von einer Mondpirschermatriarchin oder einem Mondpirscherpatriarchen, um genügend Material zur Verfügung zu haben. Die Katzen findet Ihr südlich von hier, in der Nähe der Wildschnellen, oder noch weiter im Süden, in der Nähe des Eschentals.
