I started doing this quest on the side will questing in Feralas. Then I happened to be in The Hinterlands and killed an owlbeast, so started to rely do it. here my statistics:

Dropped By 1 Mob
Wandering Forest Walker 100% (2/2)

Metallic Fragments
Dropped By 4 Mobs
Vicious Owlbeast 85% (11/13)
Primitive Owlbeast 18% (25/32)
FrayFeather Hippogryph 43 (3/7)

Encrusted Mineral
Dropped By 1 Mob
Sprite Darter 33% (6/18)

I'm really not sure why the quest level for this is so high level 50 but the highest level mob you have to kill for it is 45-46. Completed this quest on my level 43 hunter without any problems. Don't let the red quest text put you off doing this quest early!

Quest can easily be completed for the lower level 40's. All the materials can also be collected from Feralas while completing other quests.

Using ultra-shrinker doesn't work.

A nice quest to have while doing other quests in Ferales. In the end you're likely to have to grind for Metallic Fragments though. That can take a while, and the rewards aren't all that great.

Commento di 38278

Frayfeather hippogryphs also drop this at a rather high rate, almost every kill got me a metalic fragment, great quest to do in conjunction with Hippogryph Muisek

Commento di Pyrian

The quest items are dropped by Hippogryphs and Owlbeasts(of the Hinterlands) The logs are dropped by the Wandering forest trees, and the minerals are obtained from the Sprite darters.
You are actually better off getting the Sinew and Fragments from the Hippogryphs than spend time traveling to the Hinterlands. I got the items almost every drop. However, there is also a quest that requires you to kill 10 owlbeasts in the Hinterlands, and starts a series of quests.

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=3123

In my opinion, you need to head to The Hinterlands first, obtain the muiseks and return to Feralas. Then get the second chain quest which requires you to slay a few hippogryphs. There is also 3 other quests in this chain, 1 of which send you to kill the another critter that will drop your other requested items for Natural Materials.(Sprite Darter-Encrusted Minerals)
In short, all the while you are doing the quests starting from 'Testing the Vessel' you will obtain 'Natural Materials' requested items.

Commento di Grissom

The splintered log may be looted by multiple group members from the Wandering Forest Walkers. Myself and my Priest guildmate completed the quest in 2 kills.

Commento di 47568

Do not abandon this quest or all the quest items will magically disappear.

Commento di 39479

Here are coords: 56,62 area I found the Frayfeather guys, they all dropped at least 1 of the 2 items (Fragments/Sinew) and a good bunch of them dropped both. While I was here the tree came walking thru so I picked up a couple of those. Both Frayfeather types dropped and did so pretty well.

In case you didnt do the other quest/see them the darters are @ 69,49. The drop rate isnt too good, so you may want to kill them on the way out, and then again on the way back.

faerie dragons don't seem to drop Metallic Fragments

Found a Wandering Forest Walker at 73, 39, almost directly north of Mojache.

u can also get the Metallic fragments from the savage owlbeast in the hinterlands and that where he ask's you to get the first set of muisek. what you dont get there u will get from the next set of muisek, and that is the Frayfeather guys.

i found many frayfeather hippogryph at 54.76 64.01

Commento di 40834

One issue with the Encrusted Minerals - they would not drop until i was also working the Faerie Dragon Muisek quest. I killed maybe 10 or 20 sprite darters before taking on the Muisek quest and no minerals dropped. As soon as i accepted the Muisek quest the drop rate went to about 50%.

Commento di FroRev

Grinding hippogryphs is a great way to collect the last of the items, especially if you're a skinner. Treants can also path through that area.

While you're down there, grab an egg. https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=8564

You can take that egg to Gadgetzan for a cool 6000+ XP. It's associated with an Alliance quest from Rut'theran Village in Teldrassil, but Horde can still turn one in for experience.

Seems fryfeather stagwing(54.72) drop the resilient sinew and metallic fragments 100% now.. just doing the quest and have gathered 10 of each out of 10 mobs.

This doesn't seem to be mentioned. The elite giants around 40,24 (Cliff Giants, Land Walkers and the like) had a 100% drop rate for the metallic fragments for me

Commento di caochladh

This quest is a giant wast of time its not even worth the money to do it.

Commento di 109494

It's leads to quest - Weapons of Sprit. It is only "take your weapon" quest.

Commento di 80976

Keep in mind it's impossible to get the minerals or fragments from the mountain giants before starting the mountain giant muisek quest, so there's no reason to run out there until then.

The muisek vessels are also annoying in that you can kill two creatures in its 30 second countdown, so you spend half your time just waiting around for the vessel to cool down. You can't skin the creatures either, afterwards, since the body is deleted. Overall, a rather annoying quest line, but the rewards are worth it.

Commento di 206119

58,73 in Feralas is where I found the Tree guys that drop the splintered log. It was only one Tree though and the spawn was horrible.. It's the only one I could find and I searched everywhere.

Commento di 233551

The splintered log also dropped for me from a Cursed Sycamore. He was located where the frayfeathers are in the high wilderness near the back. Although he does not show up in the Wow database as of yet, he does exist!( I double checked my combat log) He looks like the wandering trees, but is yellow/gold in colour. I also located a Wandering Tree there upon respawn of the surrounding frayfeathers.

Commento di 303469

The only pain about this quest is having to get all the metallic frags. They aren't 100% drop rate and they don't drop in multiples.

Commento di yokazuma1

this quest doesnt give u rep with silvermoon.

Commento di 343305

Apparently the bug requiring you to be in another quest in order to get Encrusted Minerals from Sprite Darters has been fixed. 14 Darters and I had all six. The valley with a high concentration can be entered from 70.59, 48.91, though you have to watch the Grimtotems. The small valley goes west and Darters are all the way to its end. Don't forget to go north - Darters extend past the Grimtotem camp and going after them will help you avoid waiting for the respawn. Respawn is very fast in any case. And a tree occasionally walks by.

Commento di 445522

I did this quest easily. All i did was do all the muisek quests then killed hippogryphs until i got all the other materials. (i had the dragon and treant stuff already.)

Commento di 355455

Just anecdotally, it appears the spawn rate for the Trees that drop the Splintered Logs has been drastically increased as of 3.2. I was practically tripping over the things while doing other quests in the zone, and I don't ever remember seeing that many before.

Commento di 84103

Counts towards the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

Commento di cvoky

why i dont get a weapon reward, next quest, (4 choises)?

Commento di Thottbot

Okay, breaking it down for everyone, because I aced this as lvl 46...it can be done:

Splintered Log: 53, 67 the only reason this quest is elite. Luckily you only have to kill two, but at those coord (non coord people: below Feral Scar Vale, south west of map, west of Ruins of Isildien). I killed the level 44 elite twice (you'll have time for it to respawn, trust me).

Encrusted Minerals: 70,42 (non coord people: west of our base below the Grimtotem compound). Kill the pretty non aggro's there, no problem with droprate.

Resilient Sinew/Metallic Fragments: 53,67 (same as log) The BEST drops come from the Stagwings. Do NOT bother with the Skystormer, as they never dropped for me. The stagwings had a drop rate for me of 98% of both Sinew and Metallic Fragments.

So everything you really need is southwest, except the minerals which are near our base. I levelled during this quest, and maxed my skinning...well worth it all.

Commento di Thottbot

i found this q quite easy i got a good drop rate of the frayfeather patriarch and kill 2 trees and they dropped the logges the only one im having troble wiv is the encrusted minerals.

good drop rate at location 53.70

Commento di Thottbot

The listed reward for this quest is misleading. This and the muisek chain are prerequisites for Weapons of Spirit (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=3129/weapons-of-spirit), which does provide item rewards and does not require you to do anything extra (you just accept the quest and turn it back in). So take a look at those items before you decide whether or not to do this quest.

If you pick up Natural Materials while you're doing the muisek chain and other quests to kill the same mobs (such as the owlbeast quest in the Hinterlands), collecting all the items should be pretty painless. I only had to grind for the last five metallic fragments or so; the rest of the items I received in the course of doing other quests. Pretty efficient if you ask me.

Commento di Thottbot

i spotted a treeant at 55, 60 also

Commento di Thottbot

66.48 is good

Commento di Thottbot

ALL of the owlbeasts in Hinterlands drop both sinew and metallic fragments. You might as well pick up 'Hunt the Savages' in Hinterlands and knock it out as well as 'Testing the Vessel' from Feralas. Doing so will allow you to complete these 2 quests, leaving only the logs and minerals needed for 'Natural Materials'

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=3123/testing-the-vessel

Commento di Thottbot

The quest text is wrong, and you DO NOT need to kill the "Faerie Dragons". You can kill the "Faerie Darters" just SW of Camp Mojache, right near the Grimtotem Camp. Not only is it very easy because they are timid beasts, but there really isnt too much around to aggro. I dont know the exact coords, but if you just follow the road SW of Mojache, you wont miss them! Easy Easy Quest!

Commento di Thottbot

ugh rode around the highwilderness for a long time but still no sign of the treants

Commento di Thottbot

Be aware that the icon for the sinew is the same as the one for thick leather. As a skinner, I usually have some leather in my bags, and I banked the sinew by mistake, along with a bunch of leather. I've been fuming for the last 24 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't finish the quest, even though my log said "complete." Sad but true. :(

Commento di Thottbot

I got the logs pretty quick from the Walking Treants, you DO NOT have to the kill the elites! Some people say they have had trouble finding the encrusted minerals. Well the things you kill aren't 'called' dragons. They are Sprite Darters, if that threw you off a little and they are located right below Grimtotem camp. The Resilient Sinew and Metallica Fragments are the easiest, Hippographs or the Owlbeasts everywhere in the Hinterlands.

Commento di Thottbot

First off,the highest lvl mob i found was lvl46,and i only found 1 of them,so this can easily be completed in your early 40's.

To find
Splintered logs - Off the wandering treants,their scattered all over the place but your bound to find 2 on your travels
Encrusted mineral - Off sprite darters,around 69,48,just head north off the road and you will find more.
Resilient sinew - Off any frayfeather,not just the hippographs,head for about 55,60 and head south for more.
Metallic fragments - they can drop off any of the above,but best drop rates are off the frayfeathers,although i would avoid the skystormers as i hand a really poor drop rate of them,only 10% compared to between 70-90% for all the other types.

Commento di Thottbot

Killed Wandering Forest Walkers at 59,52 and 60,49. Both dropped logs.

Commento di Thottbot

If youre a skinner, this quest can be a gold mine.
I killed 60 Hyppogryphs to get the mats. Off those i got 40 thick leather.

The nice thing is that there is usually 2-3 other people doing the same quest leaving behind them (if they are not skinners themselves), lots of Hyppos for you to skin.

In 2 hours i got in addition to my 40, over 80 thick leather for a total of 6 stacks. They sold
for 1,5g in AH.

9g in addition to the quest rewards is nice :)

Commento di Thottbot

i was getting 100% drop rate on sinue and metal fragsments off primitive owls in hinterlands so if you go over for the muisek you can also do part of this quest there as well

Commento di Thottbot

Grab Clamlette Surprise from Dirge Quickcleave in Gaget before going to Hinterlands (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=6610/clamlette-surprise). Then you get the sinew, metallic fragments and the 12 giant eggs you need all at once.

Commento di Thottbot

Resilient Sinew & Metallic Fragments: Drops by Frayfeathers around 55,62 (south of Feral Scar Vale).They also drop from the Owls in The Hinterlands.

Encrusted Minerals: Drops by Sprite Darter around 69,46 (West of Camp Mojache, North of The Writhing Deep).

Splintered Log: Drops by Wandering Forest Walker that spawns "now and then" among the Frayfeathers. Just kill Frayfeatehrs and get your Metallic Fragments while waiting on spawn (you have to wait on spawn 2 times).
I also spotted a Wandering Forest Walker at 54,47 (Southwest of Dire Maul).

TIP:

You can do Testing the Vessel at the same time as you get some of the Resilient Sinew & Metallic Fragments through traveling to The Hinterlands and killing the owls there (Around 41,61). There's also some other grinding-quests at Revantusk Village (78,79) in The Hinterlands that tells you to kill some Owls.
When you are done with Testing the Vessel you should fly from Revantusk to Undercity and take the Zeppelin back to OG and then fly back to Camp Mojache. Turn in "Testing the Vessel" and grab the next part of that quest: Hippogryph Muisek.

Go to 55,62 (south of Feral Scar Vale) and start grinding the Frayfeathers for the Resilient Sinew and the Metallic Fragments at the same time as you do Hippogryph Muisek. Also wait for the Wandering Forest Walker to spawn 2 times.

When you are done, get back to Camp Mojache and turn in Hippogryph Muisek and take the next part: Faerie Dragon Muisek.

Go to 69,46 (West of Camp Mojache, North of The Writhing Deep) and kill the Sprite Darters to get the Encrusted Minerals and the Faerie Dragon Muiseks. There MIGHT be a Wandering Forest Walker around that area to (in case you didnt wait around to get both Splintered Logs when killing the Frayfeathers).

Hopefully you are now done with Natural Materials and some of the Vessel/Muisek-quests. But there 2 more parts of the Muisek-quests:
Treant Muisek
Mountain Giant Muisek

Have Fun!

have done it in lvl 44 mage very easy very fun lot of xp

Commento di Thottbot

Um... I guess they changed this quest or something because now you can do this quest entirely in Feralas. I solo'd it on my 43 pure affliction warlock.

Splintered logs: the wandering forest walkers in various parts of Feralas. lvl 45-46

Encrusted Materials: faerie sprites or whatever they're called. lvl 43-45 I believe. They are at the Grimtotem compound in Feralas.

Last two items: Both drop off hypogryphs in Feralas. Several varieties exist but I think they all drop them. lvl 43-45, there are a lot of them at the southwestern area of High Wilderness in Feralas.

I have NO IDEA why this quest is dark red in my quest log. This is totally manageable as a lvl 42 warlock. The faerie sprites are non-aggressive as well as the forest walkers so you can have them all to yourself without worrying about pulling adds. The hyppogryphs can be clumped in some spots but you should never have to fight more than 2 at a time.

Commento di Thottbot

On of the worst quests ever, sure it's easy, but the drop rates are horrible. The first three items are a piece of cake. The Metallic Fragments is a serious pain in the ass. I probably had to kill over 200 Hippogryphs to get my 40. I gained almost half of a level doing this last part. Absolutly retarded.

Level 47 Ret Paladin

Edit: Blizzard must have felt my fury, after posting this 8 kills yielded 8 drops. Gotta love the randomness!

Commento di Thottbot

Now this is what a drop rate should be. Not 100%, but not something that makes you go "Jeez am I even killing the right things?" after 20 mobs with no drop.

Got one more than every other kill ... maybe every third kill didn't have the quest item. Treeants 100% drop rate.

Commento di Thottbot

Splintered Log: found one Treeant at 70,59

Frayfeather hyppogryph lvl 44 drop the blue sword Withfury! At my first kill!

For encrusted mineral, start at 69.47, found 4 there! Then, go to west. Psst, good thing, sprit darter respawn fast ;)

Commento di Thottbot

just a note, the BOOMkin in the hinderlands also drop sinew and fragments. just something to think about if you have quests to do up there.

Commento di Thottbot

These are both 90% drop rates. Don't waste your time unless you're really that lazy.

Metallic Fragments: Around 65,50 in The Hinterlands. Dropped by the Owlbeasts.

Resilient Sinew: Same as the Metallic Fragments. Dropped by the Owlbeasts.

The Owlbeasts drop the Metallic Fragments and Sinew at the same time.

Commento di Thottbot

The easiest way to complete this quest is to do it in conjunction with the quest Testing the Vessle ( the quest that takes you over to the Hinterlands ). Simply kill any and all of the Owlbeasts in the Hinterlands around the area of 45 - 60. This will get you everything you need, except for the Splintered Logs. For them, go back to Feralas to coords 55.7 - 62.8 ( it's a hill overlooking a little valley by the ruins ) Wait there to kill ( I like to call it The Walking Tree ). That's just right about where it spawns. Spawn time is about 10 minutes. So, get some XP by killing some mobs in the mean time. The only downside to this quest is, it's so bloody long.

Commento di Thottbot

I am adding a screenshot to the few that are here to help clearify the best place to watch for treants. they spawn "falling out of a tree" already mentioned at coords 58,74. for those of you without a coord mod this is as far south as you can really get just below the giant temple at the Ruins of Isildien. the spawn point is VERY slow... just camp out for about 7 to 10 minutes and one will spawn. please note that if you MISS the spawn the treant will wander around farales and then RETURN to the spawn point before he dissapears back into the tree. he will respawn moments later. be advised that the spawn point will also spawn OTHER treants then wandering, however they are rather rare... about 98% wandering will spawn. good luck and happy hunting!

Commento di Thottbot

drop rate is close to 100% on everything. good for leveling, gives some good xp for killing everything. and another good thing is that if you are doing the "Another Message to the Wildhammer" quest, the hippogryphs drop Long Elegant Feathers.

Commento di Thottbot

Very draw out quest the Metal is not hard again go for the blue hippos not the strom ones. The wood can only be taken from a Wandering Forest Walker and the only one i ever saw was at 55, 62. The minerals r easy previously stated where to get them. and the sinews come from all Hippos.

Commento di Thottbot

Questgiver won't accept the q when i try to deliver it. Same thing with a lot of quests in Hintelands. Time for Blizz to get fixin'!

Commento di Thottbot

Simple quest but be prepared to spend some time. I completed this quest 3 time, 47 rogue, 46 warlock and 46 shaman. Each time I did this, avg kills was 120. YES, 120. When you have a skinner or are a skinner, it is easy to count. There are no elites to kill. Just pull and take your time. At more than one point I had 3 on me and lived. I moved 17 bars full rested doing this with my warlock today.
As for not being able to turn in the quests. By lvl 40 you should have realized that your counts include items in the bank. Unless you have them on you, ya can not turn it in.

Commento di Thottbot

what addon on the last screenshot ? with warlock

Commento di Thottbot

Treants found directly north of Camp M, nice little area with easy kills. Grinded here for about 15 mins all up.

Came across a lvl 46 treant, took him easy as a 43 paladin. They like to heal, so mana tap/arcance torrent is useful in conjunction with any stun. Grinded abit more, treant spawned roughly 10-12 mins later. Not too bad.

Commento di Thottbot

I discovered a great (possibly %100) drop on both Resilient Sinew and Metallic Fragments...both on the same mob that is.

In The Hinterlands (was visiting for a different quest received in Ferelas, Testing the Vessel) head to 36,60, just outside Shadra'Alor. There are good amount of lvl 45 Primitive Owlbeasts here. They have so far dropped both items on ever kill.

Commento di Allakhazam

Faeries are super eays to find they're just besides the Grimtotem camp.

Commento di Allakhazam

hyppogryphs drop as well :-)

Commento di Allakhazam

the faerie dragons are locatesd in a littlr valley to the west of camp mojache right nort of the trail near the grimtotems

Commento di Allakhazam

Just to reiterate what someone else said, the lv44-45 Sprite Darters NW of Camp Mojache and South of the Grimtotem camp drop the encrusted minerals.

Commento di Allakhazam

1. The Sinew is dropped from the hippogryphs (all types of Hippogryph)
2. The Splintered log drops off the REGULAR treants who wander among the hippogryphs - However, they only drop off the Wandering Forest Walker, NOT the Cursed Syquoia.
3. The Encrusted Minerals drop off of Faerie Dragons and Mountain Giants. The easiest place to get these is just to the west of Camp Mojache around the Grimtotem Camp. If you want a challenge, there are some level 50 faerie dragons near the twin collosals, and if you want a REAL challenge, to the south-west of the Twin Collosals are 48-49 elite Mountain Giants
4. The Metallic Fragments drop off of everything that drops a piece for this quest (Hippogryphs, Treants, Faerie Dragons and Mountain Giants)

Commento di Allakhazam

While doing this quest I found that the Sprite Darters had a decent drop rate of about 1 in 4 kills of the Encrusted Minerals. I never got any Metallic Fragments from them.

I also did not get any Metallic Fragments from the "Zapped Giants" striders along the coast. Perhpas you could use the zapper on the normal Mountain Giants and try.

I got the 40 metalic Fragments from the Hippogryphs. I found that the Normal Frayfeather Hippogryphs and Frayfeather Stags gave the best drop rate, 40 fragments from about 50 kills.

If you are doing this quest with someone else, the Logs from the trees can be looted by everyone in the party, so make sure everyone gets one. All the other pieces are 1 per mob type loots. Although there can be more than 1 type from a mob, such as Sinew and Fragments from Hippogryphs.

The Sinew I got from the Hippogryphs also.

Quest details have been updated.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is worth doing, and it should be possible to do it in parallel to most of the other ones in this chain. Indeed the mobs killed in this whole chain of quests have drops, or kills required by other quests (in Hinterlands/Feralas) so there is a lot of scope for parallel questing.

What isn't shown above is that once you have completed this chain of 8 quests from A Strange Request: A Strange Request this one there is a final reward quest called Weapons of Spirit: http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?source=live;wquest=3129

There you will get a blue weapon as a reward (after handing in the final quest the reward quest will come up then just wait while Witch Doctor Uzer'i creates the weapons). Even if you don't want any of the weapons, there is a further 6800xp for completing it (at lev 52) and the weapon can be sold for ~3g.

Worthwhile.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is obviously assigned too high of a recommended level. As a 46 Warlock, none of the beasts were a challenge in ANY way--very easy. Got everything I needed except the encrusted minerals in one small area of hypogryphs. It takes a lot of grinding to get 40 metalic fragments, but then you're getting kill points all along there too and you don't have to look for the wandering tree as he'll doop de doop along now and then just asking to be offed. Read for the locations below.

Commento di Allakhazam

26, 59. do grim message quest at same time. troll skulls at camp nearby. drop rate gets horrid last 10 u need. god i can't believe 40 fragments - gay!

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is fairly easy, can be done in less than an hour if you are lvl40-45
and have a bit of luck.

Myself I solo'ed it at 44 with my Undead Mage.

You'll probably spend most of your time grinding frayfeather hippogryphs and stagwings (Feralas 55,60) to get resiliant sinew and metallic fragments.
I did that in 50 minutes time (spent some of it picking herbs), also got a couple of wandering forest walkers that spawned in the area, thus I canned the splintered log. The encrusted minerals you'll find can be a little more timeconsuming if you're not lucky. The sprite darters over at the grimtotem camp (Feralas 68,48) drops them at an average of 12.71% of the time, something like one-in-eight. This means you can end up having to kill about 50 of the little buggers.
As luck would have it, I only had to kill about 15.

All in all, I ended up doing this quest in about 70 minutes, with 36k exp.
(not rested) + quest completion bonus of 4k7 exp.

Great quest for anyone to solo at 40-45, not the big rewards- only 65silver,
but a good way to combine grinding with questing

if you don't want to go far, there's a treant at 73, 57 that respawns pretty quickly

Got 4700 Xp at 43 lvl for 50 lvl quest...

Commento di Allakhazam

Resilient Snew and Metallic Fragments - on Frayfeather dragons in the Frayfeather Highlands in Feralas. 54, 65. You can also find them on owlbeats in The Hinterlands.

Encrusted Minerals - on the Sprite Dusters around 68, 48 in Feralas

I found a Wandering Forest Walker treeant at 74.5, 52.7 with a splintered log. I found another one by the hypogryphs at 55.6, 63.9.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest should not be listed as part of the series of quests involving the muisek. I just started the Feralas quests, and logged this quest and the first quest in the other series (Testing the Vessel) at the same time.

Commento di Allakhazam

Good drop rate overall. Since you can get multiple items from beasts per kill, it really isn't all that bad.

Group this quest with the Owlkin & Hippogryph Muisek quests.

Encrusted Minerals - Sprite Darters, NE of the road off 69,49 in Ferales. Pretty good drop rate

Metallic Fragments - Owlkin in the Hinterlands, Hippogryphs & Wandering Forest Walkers in the High Wilderness in Ferales

Sinew - Owlkin in the Hinterlands, Hippogryphs in the High Wilderness in Ferales

Splintered Logs - Wandering Forest Walkers in the High Wilderness in Ferales

ALSO - you can get long elegant feathers from the Hippogryphs in Ferales, if you still need them for Another Message for the Wildhammer.

+6800 XP
+250 Darkspear Trolls Rep

Get the 6 Encrusted Minerals oof Sprite Darter at 69,48
Get the 20 Resilient Sinew and the 40 Metallic Fragments oof Frayfeather Hippogryph at 55.52

Commento di Allakhazam

The Owl Beasts in the Hinterlands also drop sinews and mettalic fragments.
discovered this by accident, when I took a break for m the "greeness" of Feralas for some power questing. Happened to be on the musiek quest chain also, so the drum came in handy...

Commento di Allakhazam

The easiest item of the lot to find is the Sinew and you'll find the metalic fragments fromthe same beast, the Hippogryphs. There are quite a few located south-west of Mojache.
The Splintered log is to be found from a "walking tree" I forget the name, but it is a walker that roams a path in the area of the hyppogryphs. ou'll need to kill the "elite lvl 40-45" twice, he drops only one each time. There is a non-elite, but he doesn't drop the quest item. I was partied with a friend and we were both able to pick up the quest item from the same kill.
I was able to get the encrusted minerals from the faerie dragons, but they proved to be had to find for me, very infrequent in the area west between the forgotten coast and the twin colossals (east of the road).

Commento di Allakhazam

Sprite Darters - 69.48 (North side of road heading west from Camp M. Southeast of Grimtotem compound)
Drop rate on minerals was roughly 70%

Freyfeather Hippogryphs - 54.65 (South side of road heading west from Camp M. South of Feral Scar Vale)
Drop rate on sinew = 100% (No extra drops from skinning)
Drop rate on fragments = 80% (40 drops out of 48 kills)

Wandering Forest Walker - Also at 54.65
Drop rate on logs = 100% (A Forest Walker can be found among the freyfeathers. Kill it once and it will respawn and walk by again before you're done collecting fragments.)

Soloed as a 46 Druid. Pulled multiple mobs on several occasions without any tense moments. Quest can be done in a half hour if you know where to go.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest takes a long time to finish and you get pretty much nothing as reward nor any follow ups. Don't do this quest, it will only cost time.

Commento di Allakhazam

I picked up this quest right before heading to The Hinterlands for the first time. When I got there, and explored Revantusk Village, it turned out there were a few grinding-type quests waiting for me, and they involved mobs that drop items for THIS quest. By the time I finished those quests I was almost done with this one. Nearly perfect overlap, I only had to come back to Feralas to get a few sprite darters and a couple of treants, and that was it.

I would not have wanted to do just this quest entirely on its own, it would be way too much work, but if you get this one before doing the hunter's quests in Revantusk, they make for good simultaneous work.

Commento di Allakhazam

It's worth noting that by far the best drop rate for the metallic fragments in Feralas is from the Frayfeather STAGWINGS as opposed to any of the other Frayfeather birds or any of the other mobs.

They almost always drop one, whereas the others drop one every 10 or so kills.

Commento di Allakhazam

I did "Natural Matierals" very early on - it was availble to me long before other quests in this chain. I also note that the Mountain Giant Muisek quest is the only one that was tagged "group' and should be the proper end of chain.

Splintered Log: 53, 67 the only reason this quest is elite. Luckily you only have to kill two, but at those coord (non coord people: below Feral Scar Vale, south west of map, west of Ruins of Isildien). I killed the level 44 elite twice (you'll have time for it to respawn, trust me).

Encrusted Minerals: 70,42 (non coord people: west of our base below the Grimtotem compound). Kill the pretty non aggro's there, no problem with droprate.

Resilient Sinew/Metallic Fragments: 53,67 (same as log) The BEST drops come from the Stagwings. Do NOT bother with the Skystormer, as they never dropped for me. The stagwings had a drop rate for me of 98% of both Sinew and Metallic Fragments.

So everything you really need is southwest, except the minerals which are near our base. I levelled during this quest, and maxed my skinning...well worth it all.

Commento di Allakhazam

wrong prereq. Seems it has changed

Commento di Allakhazam

Did this quest way faster that I planned to - pick up the Savage Owlbeast quest in Raventusk village. I found that all owlbeasts in Hinterlands dropped, almost 100% - both metal fragments and sinew. I was just tagging along with my wife on questing there and she got pissed because she'd abandoned the quest and I was getting it done.

Commento di Allakhazam

getting Metallic Fragments x 40 (40!) - this is one of the most boring quests now

Commento di Allakhazam

The trees to get the splintered logs are level 46 non-elite and they wander around already mentioned coords.

Commento di Allakhazam

You could get the sinew form the owlbeasts in the hinterlands, they also drop the metallic shards, make sure to get the testing the vessel quest as well. That quest is for the owlbeasts aswell. It just calls the Wildkin.

Commento di Allakhazam

loc 54, 64. NON ELITE TREES DO DROP LOG

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest can be accepted at level 41 but it is told that it is level 50.

I accepted the quest at level 44 and It was a breeze to do on my own. To begin with, start ripping down hordes of sprite darters. They are located north west of Camp Mojache, as people have said. The darters are level 44/45 and are non-aggressive, so as long as you dont use AoE you shouldnt have to fight more than one at a time. When you get 6 Encrusted Minerals, move right south west to the hippogryphs that are west of the Ruins of Isildien. Though it will take a long time (usually about 60-70 kills) you will eventually get 40 Metallic shards and the 20 Resilient Sinews needed for the quest.
Also, while you are killing the hippogryphs (level 43 are weakest up to level 46) there will occasionally be Treants that wander past. Note: The "Cursed Sycamore" treants DO NOT drop the splintered log. However, level 45/46 "Wandering Tree Walker"s do. You should only have to kill around 4 or 5 of them to get the 2 logs. A treant should walk around the hippogryphs about once every 10 minutes.
Be careful when fighting the Treants, there are many many hippogryphs and they are aggressive so you may have to run when you end up fighting about 4 at a time.
After doing all the slaughtering for this quest, you (at level 44) should get around 30,000 experience by way of killing and at level 44, turning in this quest (which will show Red for some reason) should net you around 3500 experience.

All in all, a great leveling quest.
Note: There is no need to travel to Hinterlands, but it could be done to take on "Testing the Vessel" also at the same time. But, I reccommend the above strategy to complete this quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest only gives 55 silver and I got about 4700 XP at lvl 50 for the turn in. It's a lot of running around and not worth it if you're looking for big quest rewards. But, if you're just looking for XP, you'll get it between fighting and the turn in.

One waste of time is looking for treants. There's one treant wandering near the woodpaw camp on the right as soon as you leave Camp Mojache going south. They re-pop if you want to wait. Otherwise, there's another by the Woodpaw camp past the Yetis and another by the hypogryphs.

If I could do this quest again, I wouldn't! =P

Commento di Allakhazam

I completed this quest as a lvl 41 Warrior, but I did not get the following quest 'Weapons of Spirit' I returned as lvl 42 but there is no quest to be had. How can I get Weapons of Spirit now?

Commento di Allakhazam

You get what is stated above, 55 silver, 4,700 exp. Your reputation with Darkspear Trolls increased.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is a prereq for Weapons of Spirit series and involves killíng many of the same mobs so it's a good idea to do them together.

I started doing this quest on the side will questing in Feralas. Then I happened to be in The Hinterlands and killed an owlbeast, so started to relly do it. I am a lvl 43 mage it was red for me but it was disappointing to only get 4700 i was expecting 5500 plus but imspite of that i was happy with the quest here are my statistics:

Splintered Log
Dropped By 1 Mob
Wandering Forest Walker 100% (2/2)

Metallic Fragments
Dropped By 4 Mobs
Vicious Owlbeast 85% (11/13)
Primitive Owlbeast 18% (25/32)
FrayFeather Hippogryph 43 (3/7)
Wandering Forest Walker 100% (1/1)

Resilient Sinew
Dropped By 4 Mobs
Vicious Owlbeast 85% (6/7)
Primitive Owlbeast 18% (10/32)
FrayFeather Hippogryph 43 (2/9)
FrayFeather Stagwing 100% (2/2)

Encrusted Mineral
Dropped By 1 Mob
Sprite Darter 33% (6/18)

Coords confirmed, a little less rare on the fragments though, I probably killed 70 griffs to get all 40.

Solo'd as a level 42 Warlock with no problems.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is just not worth the effort IMO. Took me 2 hours to get the 80 drops needed for me and my friend. Over 150 hippogryps for those drops. GDI.

Think that 40 metallic fragments should have been 4 metallic fragments. Then it MIGHT have been worth the effort.

Commento di Allakhazam

Im not sure if this was intended to be this way or not.. but this REALLY helped me.

The hyppogryphs that are in feralis.. down the western side of "the high wilderness" drop the matallic fragments, there are lots to kill so its
easy to clock up 40 without running all over the place.

They also drop long elegant feathers from the hinterlands quest.
Another Message to the Wildhammer Another message to the wildhammer.

I did both at the same time (if you havent got the quest yet, stock up on 10 of these elegant feathers) Its MUCH easier than searching around the hinterlands for griffons.

Something's not right here. I did this quest over the weekend as a stand alone (lvl 43 hunter). Forget giants. The dragons drop the crystals, and they're yellow coded, so you can stand in the middle of them and fire away! I collected all the metallic fragments from the hippogryphs. It takes a lot of killing but if you're a Skinner like me, you got some nice leathers and hides for the effort.

Commento di Allakhazam

I did "Zapped Giants" with this quest. The "zapper" reduced the elite giants down to regular giants, which are far easier to kill.
I highly recommend that if you haven't done "Zapped Giants" yet, you do it with this quest. I had a 100% drop rate of the Metallic Fragments from the giants (around coords 40,28). I had already collected the Minaturization Residue for the "Zapped Giants" quest so don't know if these giants drop or not.

Commento di Allakhazam

well if you happen to be in the hinterlands the sinew and met. frags are just about 100% drop from the owlbeasts. i just took a run to and around the valorwind lake from revantusk and cleared these 2 in no time. at lvl 45 the xp was good too.

Commento di Allakhazam

4700 exp as a 45 Warrior. not difficult at all, a little time consuming. worthwhile quest for mob kill exp and quest completion.

Commento di Allakhazam

First thing, go and kill some Sprite Darters for the Encrusted Minerals. You can find them here.
http://saraphena.com/WoW/spritedartermap.png
They drop fairly quickly...I got mine in about 10 minutes.

Next, head for Frayfeather Highlands...you can find that here.
http://saraphena.com/WoW/frayfeathermap.png
There is either 2 Wandering Forest Walkers or the same one...well, wandering. I saw it/them at the northern and central area. I got 2 logs in 2 kills.

There are 4 kinds of Frayfeathers here. Frayfeather Hippogryph in the northern section, Frayfeather Skystormer which I found mainly in the central and southern sections, Frayfeather Patriarch in the southern section, and Frayfeather Stagwing in the north and central sections. Of these, all had good drop rates for the Sinew...the Skystormer was 100%. All except the Skystormer had good rates on the fragments.

This whole thing took me about 40 minutes on my 48 hunter (would have been quicker, but I wanted to check the Patriarchs rates and they were fairly well protected by the rest). The highest mob I saw was a Patriarch at 47...I could have easily done this at lvl 45, but the lvl 50 quest tag, and the fact that he wanted me to go to the hints made me put it off.

Fragments- 40/50 (80%). Sinew- 20/20 (100%). Minerals-6/10 (60%). Coords are confirmed, very simple quest, good exp from the amount of mobs killed also.

Commento di Allakhazam

all items had a decent drop rate, took about half an hour however to gather all sinew and fragments but it was worth it

Commento di Ryokishine

For confused Questie users - The pre-requisite for this quest is A Strange Request which requires you to go to Orgrimmar. You must then accept the follow-up quest to return to the Witchdoctor and he will offer you two quests, one of which is this one.

Commento di l337neteng

For the love of god....if you are a skinner...and cant seem to get the Resilient Sinews to drop, perhaps you had a bit much too much to drink the night before when you did this and accidentally put the Sinews in your bank because why would they not make the icon look just like Thick Leather...check your bank...seen it happen..trust me

Commento di FrustratedShorty

Several Quests can be done as a side quest while in Feralas but best done with other quests to be more efficient :)

1) Resilient Sinew & Metallic Fragments:
Best drop rates are by Owls at Hinterlands
- Good to do with Testing the Vessel quest from the same NPC, cooking quest from Tanaris for the Giant Egg and Owl killing quests from Hinterlands
*side note = if you're at Hinterlands on Another Message to the Wildhammer or yet to pick it up, please do not sell or discard any Long Elegant Feather. The drop rate is really bad. But honestly, mine dropped from killing the Witherbark trolls in Hinter. Got them all after 3 rounds clearing them.
- The Hippogryphs from Hippogryph Muisek (2nd quest of Testing the Vessel quest chain) drop them too (especially Long Elegant Feather and Resilient Sinew)

2) Dropped by Sprite Darter just west of Camp Mojache
- Good to do with Faerie Dragon Muisek (3rd of Testing the Vessel quest chain )
Not the best drop rates. Completed the collection just before going for the Log.

3) Splintered Log:
Dropped by the Wandering Forest Walker
This part is best done last with Treant Muisek (4th of Testing the Vessel quest chain).
Saves you a lot of time. Trust me. Screenshot shows you their "favourite" location after respawn.
I waited North of the camp for about 12 minutes after killing him thinking he'd respawn here but it's somewhere else. He just walks back here.

*side note = Mountain Giant Muisek (5th and last of Testing the Vessel quest chain) can be done along with Zapped Giants. Zap them, kill them, LOOT for the residue then capture with the Muisek Vessel.

Hope this would be helpful and not confusing :)

Commento di Azshalle

Highly recommend doing this quest alongside Hunt the Savages in the Hinterlands. The Savage Owlbeasts had what seemed to be a 95%+ droprate of both the Resilient Sinew and Metallic Fragments. Additionally, they drop Giant Egg at a decent rate, which is needed for the cooking artisan quest Clamlette Surprise (and if you aren't leveling cooking, they usually sell for a pretty good amount on the AH!)
