Kommentar von Darxtars

Diese Quest erhält man wenn man auf Verzauberter Ewigwyrm sitzt und die Leitkugel hinter sich am Wyrm anklickt. Dann erscheint der Ewig Reisende Xolartios. Er vergibt diese Quest und ihr braucht dazu 40x Echo der Sterblichkeit. Die eiligen Spieler gehen farmen lt. meiner Websuche wobei für mich bei meinem ersten und einzigen Versuch dazu nicht ein einziges Item droppte.
Was aber gut funktioniert ist die tägliche Quest beim Schwarzkrallenagent des aktuellen Contents, der abwechselnd in Uldum oder Pandaria steht. Schon die ersten Mobs die man dort killt droppen 3-6 Echos der Sterblichkeit - nach 7-9 Tagen ist man mit der Quest also sicher, stressfrei fertig.
Viel Spass

BfA 8.3.0.34222 Datei Version World of Warcraft.

Ich hatte die Aufgabe (viele kennen dieses eine Wort vom englischem "quest" - auf deutsch die Suche) irgendwo aufgeschnappt und wusste nicht wo ich diese abgeben sollte.

Im Logbuch konnte ich sehen das ich die x40 "Echo der Sterblichkeit" schon gesammelt hatte. Also erst mit MS (Microsoft) Bing, konnte ich Darxtars hier unter wowhead.com kaum etwas erfahren. Die Anzeige unter Bing hat mich zu YouTube geleitet. "Amenitra" die weibliche Sprechen hatte im Video gesagt, das man sein normales Konto BfA erst aufwerten muss, um auf dem "Verzauberter Ewigwyrm", und den "Leitkugel" anzuklicken um den "Xolartios - Ewiger Reisender" herbei zurufen. Also hab ich auch mal mein Konto aufgewertet. So konnte ich die Aufgabe abschließen. Die zweite ist auch eine weibliche "gamer Motte". Ich hab jetzt bei Videovorschlag beide Links der Mädels eingefügt. Mal schauen, wann die freigeschaltet werden. Ist scho nützlich, wenn man die Videos ebenfalls zur Verfügung hat. Da muss man nicht mehr allzu lang suchen.

Kommentar von Racetec

Ich kann die Farmmethode von Darxtars bestätigen:

Am einfachsten ist es täglich die Quest beim Schwarzkrallenagent zu machen und dabei solange in der Vision zu bleiben, bis man seine tägliche Portion Echo der Sterblichkeit zusammen hat (gefühlt muss man trotzdem eine Menge Mobs töten, geht nur durch die Hilfe der Mitspieler deutlich shcneller).

Ich komme mit der Methode auf ca. 5-7 Echo der Sterblichkeit pro Tag.

Has anybody done this yet? For me it seems that this quest has some sort of a daily cap of drop. I loot first 6-8 echoes quite easily and then they just stop dropping and then the droprate resets on the next day.

Kommentar von ApokalypsaA

Farmed the Echos in Arathi by the barns with the soldiers.

Drop rate=low

Edit: Some farm that in Blood Gate Zuldazar Cords 59, 20

Kommentar von Olorynn

Got the quest on one toon with random quest giver poping up in Naz, is there something that triggers quest? I have not seen it for my other toons?

Kommentar von MrVorn

Most of the custom user groups are focused around the Blood Gate in Nazmir/Zuldazar.

Downside to that is naturally it's a total cluster down there with all the mobs taken instantly by competing large groups.

Some have been getting some on random mobs in Kul Tiras, like the Naga at Fort Daelin. Again, this seems very hit and miss.

Would be helpful if Blizzard issued some clarity on this one, as at the moment it seems to be totally RNG with very low drop rates.

Interestingly, I was grouped with a fellow guild member and we did Freehold. At the end of it, they had 2 Echoes of Mortality, and I had 0, so group loot rules may not apply. It's very confusing.

Kommentar von Sipder2

Good location for grind Echo der Sterblichkeit is Blood Gate in Zuldazar coordinates: /way 58,33, 19,21

After completing the quest, the Transmogh is available to all Lvl 110+ characters

Kommentar von Taragath

Praise the void lords for 40 echo's.
After some farming you even want to re-consider your choice and give the great N'zoth your necklace and own echo...
And then you put on this mighty set and see yourself having a little hamster head o.O

one little thing you might want to hate, this set requires you to be 110 to transmog it.
So no cosmetic love for alts :(

Kommentar von Zelion

seems to be a daily reset type thing going on here, but still able to earn at a slow rate after.

First day, first kills = 4 dropped on first loot
Second day, first kills after reset = 4 dropped on first loot after reset.

Kommentar von Magenpie

I met the npc offering the quest at the Great Seal - but just before I could pick up the quest, the npc faded away before my eyes. And he hasn't come back.

Does he turn up again?

Kommentar von KaZeMLoL

Well, Theres No Daily Limit on it as ppl say, i got 40 after farming it at the bloodgate for 1,5 Hrs, (The leader was Pretty pissed having 34 after 3 hrs ^^) but ye its pure RNG

Kommentar von Steehl

If you're looking for a good place to farm, I would suggest going to Southern Darkshore (37,80) and farming the Naga that spawn there. The Naga respawn pretty quickly, and on top of getting Echos of Mortality, you can get Abyssal Fragments! I did it with a friend and it took about two and a half hours.

Kommentar von spooky009

Upper Corlain in Drustvar (the area outside Waycrest Manor) has been decent. Farmed for an hour and picked up five. Amazingly enough, I had no competition and I'm on MG. It's a good solo farm for those who like it. If you play a class that can pull en masse and AOE down, you can circle the whole area in a few minutes, and the mobs you started with should be back. Don't forget to circle the perimeter, and nab the trios of horsemen. As always, your results may vary, so good luck!

Kommentar von eh9000

Spent 2.5 hours farming at the Blood Gate with a party of 5. It's completely RNG. Someone joined our group a bit later with 0 echos and she still ended up beating me, despite me having 10 echos more than her when she joined.

Kommentar von Hemingray

Apparently I'm a big sucker... I just paid Blizzard money for the "privilege" of farming this.

Edit: Just finished this quest today (15 days later). Just doing my regular daily questing in all of the BfA zones. So you don't really have to farm these if you're patient enough. I'm clearly not patient enough!

Kommentar von lifeslowlydies

In case you aren't sure on how to start this quest. Get on the mount tied to the purchase and click the orb behind you on the mount and an NPC will spawn with a quest. May need to be on near the ground.

Kommentar von vindurza

seems the current drop rate is a .0001% chance right now been killing mobs for an hour nothing

Kommentar von R1NN1

What I experienced today was:

1) Figuring out how to get the quest... and then learning there is a Guiding Orb just behind the seat of the mount. Click it and then the Eternal Traveler Xolartios will spawn. You have to be on GROUND! So that it spawns. This took me a while to figure as no-one didn't tell me there is an Orb in a mount! I first went to Nazjatar, or some related BfA place and mounted up hoping the quest will pop up... But didn't work quite like that :D

2) From here I found out about the Blood Gate grind place. You can find a lot of groups from Custom Raids. Try to find groups, which are not in Raid mode, but more like normal dungeon 5-man groups. Or even at best, 3-man groups. Loot table should be kinda like free to all. Mobs can be at different locations like A-B-C, but you don't have to be at location B to loot from B. You can be killing mobs A and still loot mobs from C location. Quite easy! You just hop around A-B-C. Drop is character-related.

3) Regarding the grind, I grinded about 3 hours of it in a 3-man, or 5-man groups. Changed only once the group due to a break. At first it started to look like a grind that will take 8 hours, or so... Getting first 10 took "forever" about 1h 30min. Then the next 25 were pretty fast actually only about 1 hour. At 35 it was painfully slow to get even that one. Took nearby around 40 minutes. The last 4 went in about 15 minutes... Super easy grind! Some friend said he made it in 4 hours. I believe that drop rate algorithm has been designed that way to be slow in the beginning and at the end.

What I kinda dislike is the chest transmog... I look like a mage now as a rogue :P

ALSO WARNING: This will be nerfed in the future! Make it as soon as its possible that way.

TO NOTE: It's also a nice gold grinding place! Or, if you are into Engineering in BfA and crafting Expulsom with the Scrapper. Or selling green in Auction House. Lots of options there! Which is why this should, or will be nerfed! Let's say you get your bags full of 80 green items... You sell them for 400 G you get 32k. 500 G you get 40k. In like 30-60 minutes! Pretty insane!

Kommentar von BabbiBunni

Been at this for 3 hours on blood trolls in a 3 man group. One has 18, one has 10, I have zero. I know there is 9 months or whatever until the expansion drops but I feel as though it may actually take that long for those with bad RNG. I was informed that raid bosses have a guarantee to drop some so for those in a situation such as mine, I suggest maybe doing LFR.
edit: LFR does not necessarily drop them on every boss. I did, however, get 4 on trash as well as one each from 5 of the bosses.

Kommentar von Rubz93

From what I have experienced, you unlock 4-6 Echo der Sterblichkeit right away per day, if you try looting more per day then the drops chance drops to what feels like less than 1%.

Yesterday when I first picked up the quest and looted a big group, I instantly looted 6, then after 40 mins of farming I looted 3.
Today when I logged in and looted a big group I looted 6 right away, then after 30 mins of grinding I looted 2.

I could be wrong, but It also happened to a friend and someone else in this comment section also said they looted 6 right away.

My recommendation is just split up the work over a week if you don't mind the wait. But if you loot less than 6 naturally per day, then follow the recommendation down bellow.

***I added the fact that some people have experienced looting 4-6 Echo der Sterblichkeit instead of 6. If you looted less than 6 Echo der Sterblichkeit on the first loot of the day, then I have two extra recommendations for you:
A) You grind just enough to loot the 6th Echo der Sterblichkeit for the day, so you can be done with the quest by a week.
or
B) If you don't mind the wait and don't want to spend 20+ minutes grinding an extra 1-2 Echo der Sterblichkeit in a day, then work on the quest for a few more days looting them naturally from daily reset.***

Good luck and Happy Hunting.

Kommentar von Lutre

For some reason, the only eligible enemies I've seen correctly flagged for this quests completion are Schläger der Schreckensnattern in Atal'Gral. They do not seem to drop echoes any more often than other mobs. Very strange.

Kommentar von Galbrei

I spent over half an hour farming these at the blood gate. I'm now 2/40. I guess I'm just not getting this despite already having paid for it...

Kommentar von RobNajjar

The blood gate seems to be a good place to farm it. Its RNG based but I seem to have gotten lucky because on the 3/11/2019 I managed to get 27 in 40 minutes plus 6 in 1 loot (which people are reporting to happen after reset). You just right click the orb on the back of the mount, while on the ground, to pop the NPC for the set to get/ hand in the quest Others can see them too . Happy hunting

Kommentar von Anynin

Apparently the first loot of the day (after daily reset) will yield 4-6 echo all together then goes back to rng. yesterday had 5 dropping at once when i started the quest and i was still farming when dailies reset and i got 4 at once after the reset.

Edit: some are getting more than 6 (max of 8 i spotted ) so its 4-8 echoes as first drop of the day.

Kommentar von HarleyTAT2S

Do you have to be 120 to get the quest? i can get the NPC to spawn but no quest.

Kommentar von Xalea

The drop rate for this is way too low. The stuff we're killing doesn't even have anything to do with Oribos/Shadowlands etc. Really dumb.

Kommentar von OnHaKa

It have very low drop rate. I calculated the drop rate about 70-80 mobs for getting 1 echo of mortality. So, it takes time to receive at all.

Kommentar von Zarasz

Remember we paid to access this dull grind... And it seems they hotfixed the blood gate so only your group can tag each mob. As soon as there is one other outside your group tagging the mobs, they turn grey.

Kommentar von BeWasted

Der Ewige Reisende is a quest which is offered by Xolartios upon interacting with the Leitkugel, which is located on the back of the Verzauberter Ewigwyrm (which is a Shadowlands Heroic/Epic Edition pre-purchase) mount. The quest requires you to collect 40x Echo der Sterblichkeit.

These items are random drops from any mob located within Kul Tiras or Zandalar (this also includes dungeons). Your first daily looting can reward you approximately between 5-7x Echo der Sterblichkeit, but from there-on, it is a very low drop chance. The preferred farming method is by killing Blood Trolls at the Blood Gate in Zuldazar. Personally, it took me just short of 2 hours to collect 40x in an efficient group.

Successfully obtaining the Ensemble: Gewänder des Ewigen Reisenden on one character will also make it usable by all other characters, thus implying that you don't need to do the quest on every single character you'd like to use the transmog set on.

Kommentar von 1731820

Best place to farm this is the Arathi Highlands warfront zone, when a Syndicate or Defiler world quest is active. Insanely fast respawn times. Got my last 20 in less than an hour.

Kommentar von Penaloppe

For those, like me, wondering "What is this? Why is everyone forming group for Echo/Echo der Sterblichkeit Farm?"

This quest is available once you have Heroic or Epic Edition World of Warcraft's newest expansion, Shadowlands.

The flying mount (Verzauberter Ewigwyrm) grants a quest, Der Ewige Reisende, for the Ensemble: Gewänder des Ewigen Reisenden transmog set.

Kommentar von Sundgaw

2 hours farming the Blood Gate, this is what it takes. GL !

Kommentar von Novum

So I wanted to accept the quest on another character, I abandonded the quest on my DK but when I spawn the guy on another character he doesn't have the quest...now I'm waiting for my ticket answer

Kommentar von Seleri

I'm not so sure the "guaranteed" drop resets at daily reset or when you originally looted the first guaranteed drop, but maybe I just had weird luck. I got my first echos around midnight, logged in the next day after reset and farmed for about an hour before I got any more. Later on, around midnight, I tried again and got 6 almost immediately.

Kommentar von datgrl

I tried farming for about 45 minutes and wasn't seen anything after the initial 5 at Blood Gate. So, I just started hitting that as a daily spot and I consistently get 5-6 or more per day. I also picked up a few doing Azerite world quests, killing those mobs. I don't have the time to spend grinding mobs for a couple of hours so hitting it for 5 minutes at the start of my daily 'wow time' and completing it over the course of a few days is working pretty well. I wanted to add that I also got the items during our weekly raid. I picked up a total of 8 from trash in Eternal Palace.

Kommentar von Messer345

For those wondering where the turn-in is for this quest after you collect the 40 echos, summon your Shadowlands pre-order mount, the Ensorcelled Everwyrm, and the quest NPC should show up in a few seconds.

Kommentar von Silvansaria

Okay so I'm going to clarify something about the quest TURN-IN. If you're like me - you followed the steps to get to the turn-in and then sat there wondering what the hell you do now... No NPC, no more yellow ?, nothing. So you go here and they say get out the Shadowlands mount and the guy pops...

So - that DOES NOT happen...

YES - you need the Shadowlands mount but you need to ACTIVATE the NPC. You do this by clicking the "orb" on the back of the mount - you'll see the familiar interaction icon appear right behind the saddle - click on THAT and the NPC appears and you can now turn-in the quest.

See you in Shadowlands!
FOR THE HORDE!

Kommentar von 676176

I went to Twilight Shore in Darkshore (35, 75) and I killed one naga. It dropped 5x Echo der Sterblichkeit right away. Then I farmed those nagas for 20 minutes and never see another drop. It seems the drop got nerfed to 5x per day.
Thay said "quick" quest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Kommentar von NeonKitten

The daily guaranteed drop seems to be an account-wide limit. I forgot that I'd also picked up the quest on my mage, and happened to log in to her first after reset yesterday. Killed a world quest mob and 5 Echos dropped. Then once I switched to my main, I went to farm my daily drop... and killed mobs for half an hour with nothing dropping at all.

Came back today, back to dropping within the first few kills.

So if you're doing this the non-soul-destroying way - picking up the guaranteed drop each day and going off to do something fun instead - make sure you only have the quest on the one character.

Kommentar von Madmaddynl

In case you're wondering where to turn in this quest, click the gear on the back of the Everwyrm mount again, and the Eternal Traveler will appear.

Kommentar von Crispex582

I'm not sure if something changed but I've only been able to get 3 a day...

Kommentar von 1811332

Abaddon goes pretty good with this mog.

Kommentar von Tagazin

I was in the caverns of time where there were a bunch of people hanging around (15th anniversary party) and i saw a questgiver standing off to the side with a quest so i clicked him out of curiosity, and i got this quest. But i only preordered basic Shadowlands, not the heroic or epic one, and i don't have the Everwyrm mount.

It seems weird that i can have this quest anyway... is it going to let me collect these things with no way to turn it in?
I wonder if i will be able to turn the quest in if i find someone with the mount so i can click the "orb" or whatever on it?
I'm not sure if the Echos will even drop for me, but i will update this.

tl;dr: i got this quest but i didn't pay extra for the mount preorder so technically shouldn't be able to get these vestments... but we'll see what happens.

EDIT: Echoes do drop for me, got 4 from a naga. It will be a while before i can find out if i'm able to turn in the quest though.

Kommentar von avgjoegeek

For simplicity sake. You start and finish the quest by clicking on the back of the Ensorcelled Everwyrm mount if you purchased the Shadowlands Pre-Order.

Kommentar von iressiwi

It's probably a bug but I was able to pick up AND complete this quest without having purchased shadowlands.
Although it must be noted that the items did not drop for me when I was alone, I was only able to get them when someone else in my group was in the quest too, so I mostly got them from doing raids.
Then to turn it in I just waited for someone with the mount to be parked near me, I used the orb on their back and voilá! Appearances unlocked!

Kommentar von Comocosono

Be advised:
Do not join a raid group before farming these for the day.
-Day 1: I got 4 at the blood gate in one group pull.
-Day 2: I got 3 while in a spare parts farming group in Mechagon on first loot.
-Day 3: Joined a World PvP Raid group then went to farm them from Blood Gate, no drops after an hour and a half.
-Day 4: Joined a World PvP Raid group then went to farm them from Blood Gate, no drops after an hour and a half.
-Day 5: Joined a World PvP Raid group then went to farm them from Blood Gate, no drops after an hour and a half.
-Day 6: As soon as I logged in I went to the Blood Gate and pulled as many as possible and AoE'd them down. I looted 6.

It appears that you get the first 3 - 6 per day at a 100% drop rate. However while you can not make progress towards non raid specific quests while in a raid, the drops will still proc your quest drop rate if you kill and loot NPCs. This means you wasted your chances for quest progress for that day.

Kommentar von Kaiteir

Got this quest tonight after buying the xpac pre order. To start the quest, mount up on Ensorcelled Everwyrm. While grounded click on the orb on its back and the quest giver will appear. This is also the same method you'll use to turn it in when youre done.

After reading some guides and comments I decided to do my farm at the Nagas in BFA Darkshore. Was there for about 30-40 mins and picked up 13 before I decided to stop. Saw a lot people saying you could only get 4-9 in a day but that seems to not be the case anymore.

KEEP IN MIND THOUGH: The first 6-7 are "gimmie" ones that you will get at about 80-90% drop rate each day and typically all at once. After that it slows down A LOT. i was getting 1-2 every 10-15 mins or so but had it go as long as 35 mins before seeing one drop as well.

Day 1 (40 mins of farming)- 13
Day 2 (1hr of farming)- 12

Kommentar von sunman42

This evening, I found the NPC quest giver in Nazjatar by accident. I purchased the basic version of Shadowlands the other day: no mount, no special path to the Echoes of Mortality. May be a long slog.

Kommentar von CaptainJitters

Currently, you do not need to have the expansion purchased to complete this quest! I'm unsure if this is intended or not, but anyone can pick up and complete this quest.
You can't interact with the Guiding Orb to summon the questgiver unless you've purchased the pre-order, however if someone else has summoned him, you can pick up and complete this quest.

Also: Once you've completed this quest, you can no longer interact with the Guiding Orb, meaning you can no longer summon the questgiver.

Kommentar von nisx

Managed to complete this quest while having only the basic Shadowlands expansion. Simply locate someone with the Heroic or Epic version mount, click on the small orb on the back and get the quest from the NPC. Then collect the Echoes and find someone with the mount again, click and return quest.

Kommentar von rionshin

Raid bossed from Eternal palace also drop one Echo of Mortality from each boss.

Kommentar von jodmos

I've just spent an hour killing lvl120 mobs (various places but including such things as the Syndicate in Arathi Highlands as recommended below) and I've still not got a single Echo of Mortality after picking up this quest. (I'm not in a raid group)

Can someone confirm they are dropping for them? Is there anything else you need to do other than just picking up the quest?

Edit - The following day the Echoes starting dropping. i guess you just can't do this the day you upgrade the account.

Kommentar von Alkmar

I've seen you guys talking about a guaranteed drop, but I've been farming for 3 hours in blood gate and 0 drop at all. Is this normal or a bug?

Kommentar von Roa92

Best way i found was to do LFR, Normal and Heroic versions of the Ny'alotha Raid
in Normal and Heroic every boss dropped one but in LFR its more of a hit or miss
I also did LFR of Eternal Palace as well (same hit or miss here)

i tried the blood gate farming but after a few hours i got none.

I also tried the place in Darkshore described in Hysterian's comment in the Echo der Sterblichkeit page
after 30 minutes i got the last 2 i needed and completed my quest

but you get more and get it quicker by doing the raids in my opinion.

Kommentar von alpha17x

Does anyone have a straight answer on how to do this quest? Do you just kill random stuff anywhere and everywhere? You're all talking about great places to grind and nothing is dropping, and when I highlight an enemy, any enemy in any zone from any expansion, it does not indicate in the tooltip that the echos drop from any of them.

Kommentar von Sarthorius

Guys, the Lesser Vision (in the zone with the Major Assault, that resets daily) seems to be a very good area to farm these. Today 24/03/2020, I entered it on my main, the quest was to kill 20 mobs in there, but, as I have the cloak leveled to 15, I stayed a lot longer, and in one of the big pulls I managed to get 5 of these. Then 1... This, in 20-30 minutes. This weekend farmed with a group on the Blood Gate area in Zuldazar, only 1.

I say forget the Bloodgate strat, these visions have much more packed mobs, most are easy to kill and other people can help you (mobs aren't even tagged for faction), and just saw 2 rares respawn within minutes.

Kommentar von a20th

Somehow I picked up the quest without having the shadowlands mount(I only got the normal edition), now I have 40 Echo of Mortality but can't complete it. Please share your ideas what should I do.

Kommentar von violetta

the transmog is accountwide, thankfully. but once you've unlocked it you may as well pick up the quest on your alts as well, just don't make any special effort to pursue it. you'll eventually finish it just from normal play and get an extra 70 gold just for having kept it in your log

Kommentar von Hanaye

How low is the drop rate for this? been doing major/minor assault got nothing. Not sure if i'm just being unlucky or takes forever to get them after many kills.

Kommentar von tkalfaoglu

Strange but I got the quest in a crowd in silitus even though I hadn't purchased the extra version of the expansion -- the regular version. So I have no special mount.. now what do I do?

Kommentar von MisterPepsi

So, just a hint, join a farm group for Voldun "Captured Dune Scavenger" and you can do it in 2-3 hours + get a chance at the mount drop.

Kommentar von pieku

I was able to confirm today that this quest CAN be completed if you do not own the mount. You have to accept it from the quest giver when he has been activated, and he can be activated by someone who does not own the mount. I was able to pick up the quest on multiple characters, and then I was able to find someone in trade chat to activate the mount so that I could activate the quest giver for the turn-in.

Kommentar von kiylie

To complete this quest... Mount up on the Everwyrm mount and click on it. The Traveler will spawn next to you.

Kommentar von wickedwillow77

I would really love to know why the drop rate is so low. Do they want this quest to be tedious and frustrating? We paid for a pre-order of the collector's edition to get the bonuses not tediously grind for hours on end. I just upgraded and started yesterday. Went to Blood Gate...got 1 right away then a few mobs later it dropped 6.......2 hours later I was waiting for another one to drop. I was determined to at least get to 10 and I finally did manage to get about 1 per hour. Today after reset I log in expecting to get my 6-7 right away. I got 3.....and now still grinding hoping for another drop. I figured if I at least managed to get 10 per day I could get it in a reasonable 4 days. THIS IS F'ING RIDICULOUS. I didn't pay extra for a quest so annoying it makes me want to cancel my subscription. SERIOUSLY BLIZZ WTF? WHY?

Kommentar von Eelings

I can confirm: besides the 3-6 Echo of Mortality daily drop, you can get a guaranteed drop for each boss in Ny'alotha.
You can do a full clear on each difficulty and earn an Echo for each boss.

Kommentar von 66slipknot66

how can I mount a mount I do not own? I don't even know how I got this quest in the first place! Now I am done and I can't turn it in!

Kommentar von rockwood05

I tried the Blood Gate farming place for over an hour got 0 quest items.
Then I moved to the Naga at Dreadperl Shadows just south of Talanji's Rebuke in Zuldazar
and I got 5 in 5 minutes.

So I'm going to guess they nerfed the Blood Gate drop rate.

Kommentar von Ehayen

I grinded nagas for an hour and got 1.

Kommentar von Leandra7

Okay, as I see a lot of theories on this droprate, let me share my experience.

Yes, it does seem like you get the 4-8 "guaranteed" chunk of a drop from one mob once per day. But the the drop rate after that seems to differ with the difficulty of the content you are farming.

I got 6 from the first mob on a daily quest, and then right after that proceeded to do my Ny'alotha HC run.
Every single boss dropped one Echo (12 in total).
After that I ran a casual m+ and the chest at the end contained one Echo, too. So the first day I was sitting at 19/40 Echoes with not a huge effort (for me, I understand some people play more casually and that's fine, you get it done in a week or two anyways).

So if you are a bit more competitive player with enough time, don't go farm the "small" mobs wherever in the outdoor world, run a raid or m+ and you should get your Echoes pretty fast.

Kommentar von wowrior

Whoever come up with this 'Pay to Grind'...should be fired.

Kommentar von SMoRG

Please beware. There is a bug in the game that abandons this quest, if you copy your character to Beta or PTR. I have submitted a bug to Blizzard about this..

Kommentar von Kurasu

An odd bug with this one: if you are in your garrison, and you invite someone to your party, the quest will be unavailable for them to pick up. You have to move outside the garrison and activate it there.

Kommentar von ElsaFC

You can get/turn in the quest by summoning this mount Ensorcelled Everwyrm and clicking on the orb behind the saddle. If you don't own the mount, ask anyone who has it to summon the guy.

Kommentar von Kyrian

Am I doing something wrong or miss something? I have been killing stuff in Zandalar for hours.. zero drops of the quest items.

Kommentar von Karma99

At least half the comments below are either misleading or out-dated. I took the quest 5 days ago, been on every day doing dailies etc and have a total of 6 echoes so far. Tomorrow is pre-patch.

I don't think I'll ever bother buying anything but the basic expansion in future, I'm not spending hours farming crap for no reward.

Kommentar von Azriik

Can't confirm this is what triggered it but if you pre-ordered and haven't finished the quest then activate a collector's edition key (or any upgrade i'm assuming) it resets your progress of the quest.

Kommentar von TegoZanduba

In case you're nervous like I was about whether they still dropped in the shadowlands pre-patch, I can confirm that they do. I got my last 5 I needed today after 11 world quests.

Kommentar von LuxxTheHuntress

TURN IN:

Go to Brennadam in Stormsong Valley; located under first "N" as seen on the map and just to the south of the bridge (see screenshots). Mount on your Ensorcelled Everwyrm mount (purchased with your Shadowlands Heroic Edition). Click on the top, back side of your mount behind your character's bum; you will see a cog show up as your curser. Xolartios will then show up and you can turn the quest in for your Vestments of the Eternal Traveler appearance/transmog.

I found the most simple way to farm the Echo of Morality was by going into LFR and looting them off of the bosses.

Can this still be obtained after SL release?

In case you didnt already know, you can get this quest with the base edition of shadowlands. All you need to do is click the tail of the mount of someone that has bought the heroic/epic edition and you can start the quest. Then click the tail again to hand in the quest.

Kommentar von Ulecan

After u get daily You can farm echo faster on raid boss or Dungeons boss, each boss drop 1x

Kommentar von submoney

Really stupid question, but is there any chance this quest turn in might go away with shadowlands release or the pre-patch event day? Wondering since I'm spending like 10 minutes a day to get the initial drop of ~3-6 and then switching characters since the drop rate after that seems to go way down. Curious if I should just start farming the hell out of it more to make sure I get the transmog set or if I'm cool picking up the quick drop. First time back to the game in like 10 years and not sure if these sort of pre-patch quests go away.

As everyone is saying the echoes drop from Naga I decided to try Nazjatar. The 'Shirakess Subjugator' wq was up @ 42,43. Pulled 3-4 mobs plus the wq target and 5 dropped straight away. Hung around killing naga for another 15 mins and got nothing after the initial 5.

Kommentar von oliviaisarobot

For me, the best spot to get my daily 4-6 pieces of the quest item was the Fort Daelin nagas in Stormsong Valley! I usually managed to pick up the whole daily amount in the matter of minutes. If I tried to farm more than the initial 4-6 pieces, I also experienced the drastic drop rate decrease that other comments have mentioned before.

Kommentar von Mymloch

I'll just say... I think it's garbage that Blizzard would allow a player to obtain this quest, but not be able to complete it without having bought an expansion upgrade (you don't get the mount from just buying Shadowlands). It may be possible to use someone else's mount to turn this in, but if I didn't get the upgrade, then you shouldn't have let me have the quest, or give me a way to turn it in without needing that mount. It seems like a pretty reasonable expectation.

Kommentar von tmsubmarine

I have no idea what changed or if this quest has been reduced to yet another RNG grind. I have emptied the blood gate three times zilch! Wiped out Naga zilch! killed all the humanoids I can find zilch! WTF Did Blizz screw up the level squish and not fix this quest? I hear stories about "Yeah I finished this in 4 hours" Uh... Not buying that. Somehow I got 6 last night doing a world quest but I cannot get another after three hours of trying. Kinda frustrated, I get making somethings take time and I am good with that everything should not be an instant reward. I remember grinding to atune in Vanilla but at least you could make progress. What am I missing?

Kommentar von zildjianz4a

Today, I got this quest while i was waiting for rare NPC to spawn in Icecrown. I do not have the Heroic/Epic edition of SL. I guess someone with the said mount opened it and i was able to get the quest this way.

Kommentar von Moordeep

Just picked up this quest from the NPC who was randomly hanging out in the Class Order hall?

Kommentar von Jeolene

If you're like me and you've had this quest for a long time and are still not seeing a single echo drop, don't fret, you're not alone. There is no explanation given and no solution found to make the echos drop as Blizz ignores all inquiries with the standard "we can't help you" ticket response. Feel good knowing that people who did NOT pay for the higher tier versions of the expansions are able to do this quest without any issue or having to pay extra to do so. Typical day at Blizz per usual.

11/24/20

Shadowlands has officially dropped, been questing for two days now, killing plenty of critters everywhere and STILL not getting a single echo to drop. I'm so glad I paid extra for a broken quest chain to get a transmog I might not use.

11/30/20

I think something might have been patched because I'm suddenly getting random drops here and there (in the Shadowlands), like 2-6, sometimes twice a day, but never the first creature I kill for the day. Sometimes it'll be a couple hours of playing. I have had some drop in every zone I've been in and I have not made it to Revendreth yet. I am currently at 24/40 as I am writing this, which is a lot more than I had the weeks prior to Shadowland's release.

Kommentar von DreadNaught503

The drop rate on this quest is horrible, Typical Blizzard making a quest with a %^&*ty drop rate.

Kommentar von Firezine

I just picked up 5 from a mob in Shadowlands -> Maldraxxus, mob pulled from down the stairs ca 51:67. Note: I was almost dead by the time the mobs died. Maybe that's a clue? Not sure which mob tho since there were several in a pack.

Kommentar von EnigmaNL

Almost lvl 60 and haven't found a single one of these in Shadowlands yet. What is going on?

Kommentar von Beviselynt

Just confirmed you can loot the echoes from mobs in Shadowlands. I was in Bastion doing a quest and some mobs there dropped it around 39 58.

Kommentar von Deatheffekt

Definitely dropping from shadowlands content, just got 6 of a single mob in Maldraxxus.

Kommentar von Jsimpson

Can confirm that the echo of mortality drops of random mobs in the Shadowlands. Had 6x drop for me in Necrotic Wake dungeon and 3x drop of a random mob in Maldraxxus. Hopefully this will save people time so they don't have to go back to Zandalar and camp mobs.

Kommentar von EXPERIMENTONGOD

I can confirm that after a hotfix implemented by Blizzard during 24/11/20 (Shadowlands launch day EU) the required Echo der Sterblichkeit drop from Shadowlands mobs. I got 4 just by questing normally.

Kommentar von Tarious

It appears that the echo of mortality are rare drops off NPCs. I'm halfway done with the Ardenweald storyline and have only had 2 mobs drop them, one dropped 6, the other 3.

So

-These are a rare drop off random NPCs

-They drop in multiples at a time.

-Don't expect this quest to be finished quickly and definitely don't focus solely on this quest. Just do normal stuff and you'll eventually complete it.

Kommentar von stang99x

Looking for where to turn this in? As was I and finding little to guide me. Summon your Ensorcelled Everywyrm. Then click the little wheel when hovering over the mount and the guy appears next to you. Simple as that and I was roaming the world trying to find him

Kommentar von Amoraszune

A small tip in addition to what is mentioned below regarding the turn-in of this quest. In short, you need to summon a mount called Verzauberter Ewigwyrm and then click on a small orb behind the saddle. As has been pointed out below and if you, like me, don't own the mount, you can ask anyone who has it to summon him for you - there are plenty of people in Oribos who are flying around on it. What has NOT been pointed out however is that if you don't too much want to nag a stranger to do it for you, you can actually click the orb on someone else's mount yourself, provided that you stand close enough. Might not be easy if the person is moving around, but if they are standing still for a while (handing in a quest, choosing flight point destination, learning profession skills etc), this works ;)

Kommentar von Groovin

Typical broken programming from Blizzard — don't knock yourself out trying to complete this one in a day.

Kommentar von SheriffK

A lot of people mentioning it either dropping in Shadowlands, or having bad drop-rates before a buff came, but it dropping in Shadowlands AT ALL isn't immersive.. it's Echoes of MORTALITY, nothing in the Shadowlands except the players, are mortal; they're spirits.

So it makes sense that you'd need to do NON-Shadowlands content to get these Echoes, no?

Kommentar von sipso

I bought the standard edition of the SL and somehow got this quest early into the exp. I didn't know what it is, i just slowly gathered the items. Now i have to turn it in, but have no idea where... I don't have the Epic edition mount.

Kommentar von Derpinpug

There were a number of things unclear about this quest, but here's my current (post-Shadowlands release) understanding of everything:

The quest giver, Xolartios, appears when you click on the slowly-spinning "Guiding Orb" on the back of the Ensorcelled Everwyrn mount.
Xolartios rezzes on the ground nearby, so you should be on or near the ground when you do this!
Apparently you don't have to own the mount (or the Shadowlands editions that include it); just stand next to someone with the mount out and give their Guiding Orb a li'l touch.
If you are under level 50 and summon Xolartios, he just stands there silently with no quest or gossip options. Once you turn level 50 he will offer this quest.
You slowly collect the Echo of Mortality items from defeated (humanoid?) mobs over time. The "echo of mortality" is a quest item that does not appear in your bags or your currency page. You can see how many you have either by tracking the quest or checking on the quest in your log (it will say how many you have collected near the top of the quest page).
Multiple characters on the same account can start the quest, provided they're level 50. Each character that does so begins at 0/40 Echoes of Mortality collected.

There are many other comments regarding drop rates and where to find/farm the echoes; I just wanted to tie together some other information I've picked up over the weeks.

Kommentar von JasonStone

First of, why do you even comment things when you are not sure about them ? Second of all, you DO NOT need heroic or epic Shadowlands purchase to do the quest. Next, if you are farming it in Azeroth grounds, of course you will farm it slowly. I gathered the echoes in 3 days killing rares all over the Shadowlands. As for the turn in, you can use somebody else's mount even if you have the basic edition....jesus guys...read and try before missleading people

Kommentar von Anlon1

Greetings,

U need Ensorcelled Everwyrm to complete this quest. but no worries u dont have to buy the hc version of the expnasion . u just need someone with that mount and u will find the orb on it to click it

Enjoy.

Kommentar von MeAjur

I picked this quest up at Moonfall Overlook in Suramar.

Kommentar von Obolox

Really needs a chestpiece option that isn't a dress... I LOVE the set but I just can't wear it on my melee characters.

Kommentar von Noobsmut

Just going to comment here that this quest, the very idea of it, is utter BS.

I wanted the transmog, the website which described the Shadowlands versions stated as one of the benefits:

Vestments of the Eternal Traveler transmog set quest

Of course, if it actually said

You have to figure out by google how to even activated this quest (tip, its something you would never suspect, a interactive element on your new mount). Once you have it, you need to have Echo der Sterblichkeit, 45 in fact. These drop rarely and even after powering through levels, you will barely have half. Long story short, you don't get this transmog immediately, you have to work at it, tediously and also wait as there is a daily drop rate. Enjoy :)

I wouldn't even have bothered. My only advice to you all is that you activate this quest immediately (which you wouldn't know to do) so you benefit from the drops as you level.

Kommentar von rogue420

My advice is don't bother. In addition to all the issues with this quest, the set is ugly

Kommentar von Creaky

I was unable to get any echos to drop on my level 60 shaman farming Shadowlands content for hours, but after getting the quest on my level 50 paladin and began doing BFA emissaries the daily drop fell to my hands nearly instantly. It seems to be bugged for max levels, but just freeze your XP gain and do your daily BFA emissary. It will drop before you are even half-way done.

Kommentar von Electropow

Echos are dropping for me in Zerith Mortis, so whatever possible issues previous commenters were having may be fixed.

Kommentar von MoltenPanda

I don't have the mount, I never bought anything relating to this, but I somehow just completed this quest.

Kommentar von Crowzer

I started this quest a couple of days ago despite I bought the SL Hero edition at its release day.

So from the past 3 days (my main is a warlock at LvL 60) :
Echo of Mortality do indeed drop from Shadowland on Humanoids.
The best spot so far is indeed Warstitched Surgeon in Maldraxus. I dropped a few from them.
I also got some at BFA Zuldazar Bloodgate.

More information based on my experience in June 2022 :
No need to way 24h. Just daily reset.
I had to kill around 10-20 mobs before the drop. So the first pack IS NOT 100% drop.

Drop can be between from 1 to 6 :
Day 1 : I dropped 6 on Warstitched Surgeon and 1 after a bit on also on Warstitched Surgeon.
Day 2 : Same on Bloodgate. 6 Echos of on a pack and 1 slightly after.
Day 3 : ONLY ONE drop from Warstitched Surgeon, I farmed both Maldraxus and Bloodgate but no drop after.
Day 4 : 3 from Warstitched Surgeon.
Day 5 : 6 from Zuldazar Bloodgate mobs.
Day 6 : 4 from Zuldazar Bloodgate mobs.
Day 7 : 3 from Zuldazar Bloodgate mobs.
Day 8 : 3 from Zuldazar Bloodgate mobs.

Quest is now complete !

Kommentar von BMHunterMain

I picked this up by accident, I suppose someone who hadn't completed it was just first spawning that mount by me.

I do not have the mount on my account.

It would let me pick up this quest, but the required Echo of Mortality items do NOT drop anywhere. So it's pointless.

Kommentar von Apocalex

To turn in this quest, mount up on Verzauberter Ewigwyrm and click on the orb that appears on its back.

Kommentar von Skimrock

Not sure if this is helpful information for anyone, but these do not seem to drop in the Dragon Isles. If, like me, you bought the Shadowlands special edition when it was on sale but did not actually play through the expansion because you got bored, you will still have to go through the Shadowlands content in order to get this transmog.

Kommentar von lolablerants

So I just noticed I have this quest completed and ready to turn in, but I do NOT have the associated mount, nor did I do the prepurchase.

No idea how. Found a stranger who had the mount and I was able to turn it in. So I guess this quest and the transmog reward is NOT exclusive to the prepurchase and extra IRL $$$.

Kinda neeto so you can share the quest with your friends. Kinda lame that the prepurchase reward isn't exclusive to you.

Kommentar von dirtypig

Things I've noticed:

1. if you are on an alliance toon, it drops from Kor'gar Grunt mobs that have instant spawn Darkshore 44.34, 81.12.

2. the first mobs you kills at daily reset seems to immediatly drop 3-5 echoes.
