Drops from Shienor Talonite at 49/16

Comment by 22576

It's easiest to do this quest while working on these others for the fastest overall progress, reputation, and XP. I found that all the enemies for and around these other quests dropped the feathers adequately enough.

For the Horde:
Stymying the Arakkoa (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9987)
The Eyes of Skettis (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10847)
Arakkoa War Path (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10868)

For the Alliance:
Stymying the Arakkoa (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9986)
The Eyes of Skettis (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10847)
Thin the Flock (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10869)

Maybe coincidental but when me and my brother turned this quest in for the first time we both got a blue item out of the bag reward it gives.

this quest is NOT REPEATABLE for rep with lower city after you reach friendly... as I discovered after spending 60g on feathers in the AH in hopes of getting reverred without a 3 hour labrynth run.

It should be noted here that the random-suffix BOE blues and rares rewarded from Arakkoa feather turn-ins and from minibosses in Skettis have a slightly different, more class-specific set of random suffixes.

of the Mind <- mage-centric
of the Vision <- priest-centric
of the Nightmare <- warlock-centric

of the Grove <- druid-centric
of the Shadow <- rogue-centric

of the Hunt <- hunter-centric
of the Ancestor <- shaman-centric

of the Battle <- warrior-centric
of the Crusade <- paladin-centric

Of course the stats of these suffixes benefit other classes as well, but these suffixes have a more specific design than, say, Bandit or Sorceror.

The best drop is - mobs drop 2 feathers per one drop at Veil resk village - cords arround 48.16 and arround.

Comment by 95057

Comment by Brmonkey

That is exactly what they are modeled after. The Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.

Repeatable turn in: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10918

Comment by 131451

not the best droprate in the world, but dont get too aggravated by it. all of them drop cloth, water, silver and sometimes a rare spawn will drop a boe blue. took me about 35 minutes to get all the feathers but i walked away with over 50 gold in cash and prizes.

Comment by Novak

You can loot these feathers without having the quest.

Comment by heyychrriss

These feathers drop pretty quickly in the Skethyl Mountains from all of the Shalassi npc's, around 56,69 in Terokkar.

Comment by Rasmir

Even though this quest is technically obtained in Shattrath City, it meets the requirement for Terror of Terokkar http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1272 .

Here is a effective strategy for farming Arakkoa Feathers for Lower City rep if you have not already turned in the quest Skywing

Feathers can be turned in to Vekax for these quests:
The Outcast's Plight 250 rep
More Feather's 250 rep (Repeatable up to Honored)

Lower City Rep is used to obtain Auchenai Key a requirement for The Keymaster achievment
It can be bought at honored from Nakodu

1. Talk to Skywing to start escort
2. Follow Skywing - kill mobs and loot any feathers that drop
3. At end point of escort Luanga the Imprisoner will spawn
4. Kill Luanga and loot feathers (he has by far the highest drop rate over 90%)
5. DO NOT TURN IN QUEST
6. Farm more feathers off regular mobs while waiting for Skywing to respawn.
7. Drop completed quest then go back to step one.

Comment by shawtiee

This quest was a pain, not because it was hard but because it takes so long.

Took about half an hour to get the feathers and clearing the area that they are in about 5 times.

Although the good news is that I got about 1 and a half bars of xp from just getting the feathers, a lot of silver, water and cloth...

( And yes you need to kill the Shienor fellas :) )

Comment by willo327

The quest states collect the Veils of Terokkar, if you look at them only some of them have feathers around their faces these are the ones that drop the feathers.

Oddly, it seems like there are two similarly-named guys giving this quest out. I got it from an outcast named Velax at Shattrath (who is not listed in WoWHead). As I was heading back to turn it in, I saw another questgiver named Vekax (the one listed here) with a yellow exclamation point; he also had this quest available to give. I didn't accept it since I thought it might dump my feathers, which I'd just spent an eternity collecting. I went to Velax and turned in mine. When I went back to Vekax, he no longer was offering a quest. Velax looked the same as Vekax, though he seemed to be a ghost, being partially translucent. Both of them were wandering around in the tree buildings, but they were in different tree buildings. Velax was in the treehouse with the alchemy lab; Vekax was in the treehouse east of that.

I uploaded the data regarding the Velax version of the quest so we'll see what WoWHead does with it.

The pins on the current map do not reflect where either questgiver is located.

Your in-game map shows three spots where the Arakkoa feathers are found. I had the best drop rates from the one near the lake with Old Man Barlow, but that could be the RNG. Anyway, the feathers often dropped 2 at a time there, and only rarely did I get double feathers at the other sites. Hardly a scientific sample, so YMMV

funny that this quest doesnt also grant rep for Sha'Tari skyguard

Comment by 738476

A good place to get the feathers for this quest is in Veil Skith (just south of Shattrath). I went out on my 85 DK and farmed these for my lower level alt and ran around killing the Skithian Dreadhawks and Skithian Windrippers. The mobs were spawning faster than I could clear the camp. I picked up 64 feathers in 15 minutes, just making circles around the camp spamming my Howling Blast.

Comment by Agustinx

If you just want to grind reputation to get exalted with lower city don't even waste time doing this quest, the aumount of reputation and time you spend doing this is worthless if you think about it.
The best way to get reputation is running Shadow Labyrinth in normal mode, wich is around 2000 reputation per run.

Comment by 575081

take the quest Skywing at 54,66. it will make it easier to collect feathers.

Comment by MidnaLink
