Kill boars.
As easy as that.

But lots of them :)

Comment by 12815

Drop rate is really low, there is a good spot (with lot of boars) northwest of Falcon Watch, but take care with Fel Reaver, it wanders the area.

Also looks as high lvl boars drop them more often than lower ones.

Comment by 12998

There are two clusters of Hulking Helboars, 1 near Falcon Watch and 1 near the Temple. Only the ones near Falcon Watch drop the blood. And I'd estimate the drop rate around 20-30%, I got the 6 I needed pretty quickly.

Comment by Mundy

Drop rate is horrendously low. If you're speed levelling it might be best to skip this quest.

Alternatively, you could do what I did, and just do it gradually while you do other quests. As your a traveling back and forth over Hellfire, just dismount and kill any boars you see. Should have it done easily by the time you leave.

You can do this quest and http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=9361 at the same time, I'm getting drops for both quests off the hulking helboars.

Comment by Calsword

17% Drop rate from Lvl 61 56% Dop Rate from Lvl 62 Hulking Helboars just NW of Falcon Watch - took 10 minutes to complete q

Comment by 50051

24,61 if your horde. Just west of Falcon Watch. Go there.

Comment by 61148

surprisingly good drops around the camp! 18,51 and 16,53 cords

Comment by 72839

boars carry vials? O.o

Comment by 82736

drop rate is low but if you get the boar down to about 200-300 hp then dont use any spells or crit and just hit them the drop rate becomes about 80%. there is another quest that you get in tanaris called the thirsty goblin. you need to get a laden dew gland and it doesnt drop unles you just sit there and hit them with your weapon. that quest took forever until i looked it up and found that info.

Comment by 81838

This quest, like so many others, is a menace, but can be made less so by keeping the following in mind:
• The Helboar can be found around 26,40 in a large group. Watch out for the Fel Reaver
• Pairing these quests: Helboar, The Other White Meat and Demonic Contamination spares the lives of about a thousand additional Helboars.

Comment by Sharwenn

??? when i got 4/6 they just stop drop ???

Comment by dairylee

I killed the Boars near the encampment and it took me 19 kills to get the 6 vials which took about 10 minutes which isn't too bad for 10,400xp and 275 reputation.

Comment by 92301

Surprising 100% drop rate at 22.58.

Comment by 47329

Easy exp. Took me about five minutes got all six blood samples from eight boars...so that's what, about a 75% drop rate. Go due East from the quest giver and you can find all of the Hulking Helboars you'll ever need, but watch out for the Felreaver, he travels through the area pretty often.

Comment by 70293

Please keep your Droprates for your self - quests like these will always depends on luck.

So all the ZOMGBBQ I GOT LAIK 10 HELBOAR BL00D FROM 1 BOAR!11oneoneone!!1
Is useless comments

Comment by Poposhka

what is odd though, is that i have leveled 3 toons to 70, and on all of them i got the bloods i needed within 10 kills.

now on my fourth toon to 70, i've killed like 10 and haven't gotten even one.

Comment by Rasztra

Drop rate is really low. Easy quest, though. Farm them near Cenarion Post in the SW of Hellfire Peninsula. Strangely, I found if I yelled obscenities at the boars before I killed them, they would drop the blood at a higher rate.

Comment by 101967

if your lv 70 trying to make some quick gold off quests then pull a few ( i did 3 or 4) then just kill em all you usealy get 1 blood. this makes you feel less angery or at least sp

Comment by 128682

Do this at the same time you do "Helboar, the other white meat". Alot of meat drops and one thing to make it easier, pull the helboars in to falcon watch and let the guards help you to kill em'.

Comment by Ellesmera

Another great place is just directly east of Temple of Telhamat.

Comment by 127948

killed 76 pigs before I had them all. Worst quest ever. Abandon is my advice.

Comment by 137714

Getting the blood samples is easy, You can kill any Hulking Helboars on the plannet! It still works. The higher lvl ones lvl 62+ Do drop faster.

Comment by 137714

I only had to kill 9 to get the 6 so luck is a factor too.

Comment by 134051

It may be different for other people, But IMO the drop rate sucks. I got about 3 greens for every Blood I got. And I died, a couple of times, considering that is right on the Fel Reavers path. Took me about 30 Minutes to Complete. I killed the piggies that are West of Falcon Watch.

Comment by 8153

As of patch 2.4 the drop rates seem to have significantly increased. This could simply have been a run of great luck, but prior to 2.4 I had abandoned the quest after getting no drops on about a dozen boars. Out of boredom I picked up the quest again and got all six drops in about nine boars. If anyone is reading this as of 2.4 I would definitely recommend giving this quest a go.

Comment by 138911

i just did this quest and every other helbboar i killed i got a blood sample talk about lucky but it only took a few minutes, ohh and watch out for the fel reaver cuz my pet got ganked by it

Comment by 111155

ok i killed about a million lvl 61 boars and nothing

then killed 6 lvl 62 boars and got it everytime so 90-100% drop rate from the lvl 62's right across from falcon watch

easy

Comment by 86030

low drop rate
i got lucky and got all 6 samples within 20 kills

24, 51

Comment by Dealoras

Apart from the - not that awesome - droprate beware of the Helboards thorn shield. They hit for around 24 each time you hit them, which adds up in the end. Fast hitting classes such as rogues will have longer downtimes killing these guys.

Comment by 148575

23, 58 near falconwatch had 60% droprate for me

Comment by 154064

I might be extremly lucky or the drop rate isnt as low as stated above, found mine while killing about 10 of these around 24, 54

happy grinding

Comment by 156586

had 80% drop rate at 24,58

Comment by razisgosu

finished the quest in about 12-15 boars. not amazingly horrible drop rate but not superb either.

Comment by 144415

Originally, after 10 kills and no drop, I thought 'wow, this drop rate sucks'. But then all 6 dropped within the last 8 kills. So, 6/18 is about 30% drop rate, not out of range of the ~20% drop rate stated in the stats here. So, if you're not having much luck in the beginning, assume it is just that...

Good luck!

Comment by 146819

Blizzard: EVERYTHING has blood. Why do you make us kill thousands of the same creature to get less than ten samples of BLOOD?

Comment by 172104

Been killing a few a day for the last week. Probably have killed over 200 in the last 4 days. Still haven't seen one drop.

Comment by 310921

If you havn't had a good drop rate, it might be that your not killing the 'Hulking Helboars' that the quests asks for. They are found up by temple of telhamat and when i did the quest with my Death Knight, it took me about 5-10 minutes. Really simple quest.

Good luck :)

Comment by Lissi

Remember: You have to find the hulking helboars that have the blood samples already nicely bottled for you.

Comment by 146544

Velamatu has it right. Do both quests, Quest: Helboar, The Other White Meat and Quest: Demonic Contamination at the same time. Killing hulking helboars near the Quest Giver of Demonic Contamination they drop both, blood and meat for both these quests. Level up.

Comment by 9mmx19

This quest sucks but the reward is an otherwise hard to get 2H that looks great for xmog. Luckily I skipped this while leveling and could come back at 85 for mine.

Comment by 164172

This quest took me eleven kills to get all of the samples; I used the group of Boar right next to Falcon Watch.

Paranoia of Fel Reaver showing up didn't help much.

Video Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k30VNoxpvpA

1. Demonic Contamination
• Accept Demonic Contamination from Thiah Redmane at coords 15.6, 52.2 (north of the Ruins of Sha'naar).
• Travel southeast toward coords 24, 61, killing any Hulking Helboar you come across.
• Loot 6 Helboar Blood Sample from their corpses.
• Travel back to coords 15.6, 52.2 and turn in the quest to Thiah Redmane.

Comment by TheSkullpitter

Sure, sure. We've been making jokes about boars without hearts and birds without wings and bears without asses since 2004. Sure. But boars without blood seems intentionally, aggressively ridiculous.

Links

Demonic Contamination

Thiah Redmane, at the Cenarion Post in Hellfire Peninsula, has asked you to gather 6 Helboar Blood Samples from Hulking Helboars.

	Helboar Blood Sample (6)

Description

Welcome to the Cenarion Post, <class>. We don't often get company out here, but I'm grateful for the visit. My work with the creatures of this desolate land requires me to travel to many remote places.

The Cenarion Expedition has dispatched me to study some of the most dangerous wildlife in Outland, and I've made a startling discovery. While many creatures here have already undergone radical changes, they continue to mutate. I'm collecting blood samples to document the changes, and any help would be welcome.
