Location 67,44

Comment by Moraine

Confirmed.

Comment by 3007

25% drop rate. This means on average you will have to kill 20 of the buggers.

Comment by 16588

Okay, for this quest you need to kill the "blobs" at 67,44. The drop rate is not terrible, but it's not that great either. When these blobs are small with a yellow name tag, they won't attack you unless you make the first move. But when they get beamed by some device, they will turn big and hostile.

They do NOT have to be big (hostile) in order to drop the quest item.

Comment by Krakotoa

i noticed that when i waited for them to get small, i had a very high drop rate, about 60-80%. When they were larger and red, i did not get a single one to drop.

Comment by Mdj71

Confirmed.

the droprate is 5/7 when killed when yellow (71%)

Comment by 21004

66.42 - wait for them to shrink & turn yellow... very high drops. :)

Comment by 3036

Hah! I like the Shakespeare reference to The Merchant of Venice. Good job, Blizzard :D

Comment by 34475

I found out then when I let the little beast get zapped, they turn large and aggro you. Wait for them to shrink again and kill them quick. I killed 6 mobs and got all 5 drops!

Comment by Jasmine

Coordinates: likes others say, around 67, 44 in that camp.

I killed so many and none dropped until I noticed that the drop is called "ether energized flesh" - so it makes sense that it has something to do with energy. Basically, go around to where the pink energizers are, and monitor when the fiendlings go to it, you have a guarantee drop if you attack the fiendling *while* it is being energized. It is yellow and then it goes to one of the energizers, pink lightning comes out and then the fiendling becomes enraged. I had no trouble once I figured that out! While you go around monitoring when they are being energized, just kill mobs in the area so they don't zerg you.

Comment by 43204

I got about a 70% drop rate killing both energized and non.

Comment by Valaran

I just got 5 drops in about 9 kills, both red and yellow. This reminds me of when people said Garr had a greater chance of dropping Bindings if his adds weren't killed :)

Comment by jwapp

Killed about 17 and i've got 1dropp ... i guess im out of luck :<

Comment by Apotheosis

By the time I was done with this quest, the drop rate on these was about 7%, it took me almost 45 minutes to complete this quest.

Comment by Osmodius

Took me 20 minutes just to get one drop. Abandoned.

Comment by 93865

The name of this quest is a reference to Shakespeare's play, "The Merchant of Venice", in which a creditor demanded a pound of flesh from a man who was unable to pay back his debts.

Comment by Empower

Got 100% drop rate. 3 From hostile ones, 2 from neutral.

Comment by 78626

On the item 'Ether-Energized Flesh' it says, "Just like Dizzy Dina said, disgusting!"

Dina Meyer played the role of "Dizzy" in the 1997 movie Starship Troopers, and there was a scene where she and a few others were looking at a soldiers corpse with a hole in his head, then an officer sticks his fingers in the hole and says "They sucked his brains out" and I think thats when Dizzy said, "Disgusting", but there were a lot of scenes in the movie where she could had said this as well.

One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time! :D

Comment by Fulle

This quest is extremely tedious, because the mobs are surrounded by 1-3 "Razaani" guards.
If you're not careful, it won't be long before you've got 5+ mobs beating on you, as there are many pats in the little "village".

Comment by 129

The drop rate seems to correlate with the flesh beasts becoming 'energized' by the ethereal devices scattered about. The process involves a flesh beast approaching a device, receiving a purple link to the device (a la Drain Soul), growing in size, attaining a purple glow (a la Shadowform), producing an Arcane Explosion noise, and becoming hostile. If you pull a flesh beast soon after it has done this, it appears that it will likely drop the energized flesh. This energizing process does not necessarily directly correlate with the purple shadowy glow, as the beasts maintain this glow long after having energized, i.e. long after they will become less eligible for dropping energized flesh. Best to not focus on this quest: do others while keeping an eye out for beasts that energize and pull them when they do. Trapping the Light Fantastic and its follow-up Show Them Gnome Mercy! are better to focus on.

Comment by 126159

Range of drop rates :S mine around 29% 5/15

Comment by JadoJodo

Bottom Line: 90%+ Drop-Rate When Killing Fiends While In Their "Shadow-Form".

Comment by 135129

5/5 on the flesh when killing the "shadowform" mobs. 0/10 on the yellow guys.

Comment by 89536

Drops off both Large ((Hostile)) and Small ((Passive)) fleshlings. Can't confirm any specific drop rate but I got 4/5 Small and 1/1 Large.

Comment by 152722

Their status does NOT affect drop rate.. I killed some neutral mobs and some hostile ones, both had 0% chance so far.. Don't get fooled by some comments here and actually wait for them to 'energize', because it's pointless...

It's just that..

Random loot is random.

Comment by Cross88

Note that even though they are right around the etherials, attacking the beasts will not aggro the etherials.

Comment by Bergsvendsen

I needed to kill 13 of these little bastards before all the required items dropped.

Comment by 71161

As always, the drop rate does not change depending on if they are big, small, pink, green or just got shagged by Gruul.

Same named mobs have same drop rate. As they do drop it in both forms, they also have the same drop rate.

Comment by 13419

tis quest is dumb. Skip it.

Comment by 264906

i found that every one of two of the small little yellow guys give u it

so if u kill 10 of the small guys that are yellow you will get at least 5

so about 50% drop chance

Comment by 232554

really, this is one of those quests which within 5 minutes of starting you end up leaving in your logg till youve cleared the area and moved on then reach for

'ABANDON'

i understand low drop rates for rare items, or quests with good rewards, but not just for some xp which you would easily make up if you just moved along

:) simples

Comment by ziggy29

Anyone who says the drop rates weren't awful for this quest was apparently playing a different game than I was.

More than a Pound of Flesh

Collect 5 Ether-Energized Flesh.

	Ether-Energized Flesh (5)

Description

<name>, I've got something else for you to do. One of the eggheads wants to study the fiendling flesh beasts that can be found at Razaan's Landing, north of the Razor Ridge.

More to the point, they want to study the flesh of the flesh beasts that are there.

<Dizzy makes a disgusted face.>

But, of course, they aren't willing to get their hands dirty, and they only want the ether-energized flesh, which it's not likely that all of them have.

I say, beggars can't be choosers, but what can you do?
