Has a small chance of dropping Mr. Grubbs, the back-flipping grub non-combat pet.

Comment by NoSmoking

If you want to AoE grind for Hidden Stash (for Mr. Grubbs), you should head to Zul'Mashar. There are tons of graves which spawn trolls. Lots of easy kills.

Be sure to have Fiona´s Lucky Charm buff on!

You need to have fiona´s lucky charm in order for these to drop

Comment by 706340

I got the pet twice in a row while doing Rimblat Earthshatter's quest! cute little fella :)

Comment by 710206

I did all of Fiona's quests then got the Lucky Charm and I went to go farm the Hidden Stash. I killed around 10 Death Cultists,50 Carrion Grubs/Devouring Grubs, and a few others it drops form about 20 times and i still haven't got it. Can someone please help me? Also how do you know when you have got Fiona's Lucky Charm?

Comment by DNSStylewalker

Mr. Grubbs is definately not a 100% drop from these stashes.

I got the Lucky Charm buff and killed a lot of the poor scarlet guys at Tyr's Hand. Every 10th - 12th one dropped a Hidden Stash. I think I opened about 50 bags.

They contain about 50c - 1s90c and, if you're lucky, Mr. Grubbs.

Apart from the compagnion I got 8 stacks of mageweave cloth, 4 stacks of silk cloth and some greens for DE.

The pet came as a total suprise to me. I took the buff because i just wanted more cash, and in the first bag i discovered the little rascal! I didn´t even knew you could get him in the bags!
Good thing i chose for the luck instead of the extra damage.

Comment by 627828

At the risk of being hated, the pet dropped from my first bag after 2 min of "grinding" in Zul'Mashar. I definitely recommend that location.

Comment by 718183

Very good drop rate once you get the sacks which are about 1/10 on the mobs that do drop them. I know it's not a %100 drop like it says here because it dropped in my second bag. Hope this helps someone.

Edit: Next grub was in the fourth sack.

Comment by 719917

a tad frustrated....I have cleared Zul'Mashar three times and still have not seen a single 'hidden stash' bag drop. yes I have 'Fiona's Lucky Charm' active...?

Comment by pharma

Hidden Stash drop is nice in Zul'Masha. Its like, 1 drop for each 15 kills.

Took me 36 Hidden Stashes, about 35 min farming, for getting the pet.

Good luck to you all!

Comment by Sunny88

So.. Been opening over 140 bags so far, and no luck yet. Luck based pets sucks big time for me >< But I wont give up! Backflipping maggot pet is awesome!

update: okay! after almost 200 bags, I finally got him! Cheers guys, and GL!

Comment by 445633

Do you have to do the quest to get Mr.Grubs from the bag, or is he just dropped ^^?

Comment by 752761

The droprate is actually quite low, i spent more than an hour grinding for Mr Grubbs, its not 100%.

Comment by Waylo

I just noticed this is a blizzard bug.

Comment by 765446

This is a great place im a level 67 priest i just spammed holy nova. it only took me 2go arounds of the graves to get not 1, but 2 pets lol too bad they are BoP ): it only took me like maybe 10bags to get the pet. and the pet does come from the bags btw...

Comment by 658896

Woo. I feel lucky, I got Mr. Grubbs in my first bag ^^

Comment by kirdah

Got Mr.Grubbs from my 3rd bag, app 40 kills at Zul'Mashar.
Very nice place indeed.

Go to the road that enters Eastern Plaguelands and accept the two quests from Fiona to find two of her friends. Go to them and finish each quest they have (they will ask you to do one quest, then another quest which u turn in at Fiona). Do these quests then go over to the caravan. It will have a blue '!' on it. Click Fiona's lucky charm and you will get the buff. Then go kill some creatures.

I farmed just east of plaguewood tower and killed the plaguewood reanimators.
Start from the west and travel east killing them. by the time you finished the line of them, more have spawned. They spawn almost instantely and they are in a group of about 5.

I farmed for 44 minutes and got 23 hidden stash's (this might vary because yesterday i went for about 20 minutes and got 3 hidden stash's)

The Hidden Stash drop rate from the Plaguewood Reanimators is 12%

I got all the stash's then opened them and one of the last few stash's i opened had a mr. Grubbs.

MR. GRUBBS IS NOT A 100% DROP.

If your not into farming, i suggest making a playlist with yor fav. music and listening to it, that's what i did because i hate farming.

Mr. Grubbs looks exactly like a deathknights bloodworm, but only the yellow type colour (the colour of the grubbs in eastern plaguelands)

Hope this helps!

Comment by 460435

I farmed about 25 minutes... level 85 so they went down pretty fast... there was same time waiting on respawns. I did indeed find him at Zul'Mashar. Took me 25 minutes to get Mr Grubbs, then I got 3 of them with in a two minute period.... so yeah... now I have two extra Mr Grubbs pets to vendor :P

Comment by edgeblade

Wish this was not soulbound so you could AH them or send them to alts or something. I got 3 or 4 of them on one of my characters and my only options were to vendor it or destroy it.

Comment by Abbyys

I just got Mr. Grubbs out of the Stash and i found the best place to farm for Hidden Stash is a place called "Noxious Glade" in Eastern Plague lands as every mob there has about 10% chance of dropping a Stash.
The chance of receiving the pet is not very high.
Note: you must have Fiona's Lucky Charm buff to allow these Stashes to drop.
Happy hunting

Comment by 428368

Ok.. so to summarize it all. First you need to speak to Fiona at coords 9.0, 66.4 to start her quest chain. Once you are doing this, you will come to a part where you ride her caravan to another area. Once there, I think you have to complete a few more of her quests, and then the caravan gets a blue ? over it, and you can access fionas lucky charm buff. You cannot get the hidden stash unless you have this buff.

Once you have the buff, killing mobs will give you a small (I noticed that the percent drop rate on the seemed lower than is listed here on wowhead) chance to get the Hidden Stash. If you are lucky, one in 15 mobs drops a bag.

As stated above, the best place to farm for appears to be Zul Mashar at coords 65, 13. There are graves up there that respawn reletively quickly and produce a rather large number of mobs in a short period of time. Run over the graves and the mobs appear. Kill, loot, and hope for a bag.

If you are lucky enough to get a then you will find the drop rate on Mr Grubbs is very, very low. I farmed the grave area for 3 hours and got 68 bags before the companion dropped. This was on top of the hour or more that I spent doing the initial quests and farming other areas prior to getting over there.

One positive thing is that once the caravan gets the ? and you can get Fiona's Lucky Charm buff, it doesn't go away if you ride the caravan to a new area. As near as I can tell, its there forever, and you can access it no matter where you are in the quest chain, or if you have completed them all.

Comment by elainwe

Taken the WoWHead Database as a sample we can conclude that the droprate of Mr. Grubbs is about 1,5 %

A Moment ago there were 228.886 'Hidden Stash' and 4.111 'Mr. Grubbs' in the database.

4.111 / 228.886 = 0,0142 = 1,42 %

Comment by 855392

wow I must be real lucky. first bag I looted from a Mossflayer contained the pet...

Comment by nbteve

farming Plaguewood Reanimator is very fast way to get the stash, i found ~10 in 7 mins, when i looted the companion

Comment by Chrone

Mr. Grubbs is not a 100% chance drop, it just says that because the only other thing this drops is silver. Also Hidden Stash will not drop without Fiona's Lucky Charm, obtainable from here caravan.

Comment by Karthegrax

Sixth bag had the pet. Doesn't seem hard to farm. Forgot the buff for starters though ><

Comment by 364677

PS: dont log out or dc while trying to farm this,you WILL have to go get the buff again.

Proof: i logged out,came back later had buff still,killed 100...no stash. Went and got buff again,first kill it drops. Before i had logged out i was getting them 1 out of 5 kills(sometimes more).

Comment by Nythe

The yellow text is misleading. I found silver.

Comment by Wolftrainer

Zul'Mashar is exelent for farming this pet, got him in about ten mins.

Comment by 915783

eff this freaking pet! 71 hidden stashes and I still don't have it. Why god why?

Comment by hermoine

I read all these comments about quick drop rates and i thought yeah right! however still did everything everyone said - got fionas charm buff went to Zul'Mashar and started my stopwatch. Got my pet after 7mins 34 secs (and i am not lucky when it comes to farming pets - there is another elusive one i have been farming for two years - so dont give up :D
Playing on Vek'nilash

Comment by 906562

5 min of farming, 6 bags, *cough* *cough* i think i broke a nail.

Comment by Discover1234

I was wondering, if you're in a group with someone who has the lucky charm, and the hidden stash drops, can a party member without the lucky charm loot it from the corpse?

Comment by Kayarie

The Hidden Stash is a lie! I've not yet received any "extra gold" only silver! xD

Comment by 845938

! After 2hrs+ farming droped pet.
~ ~ ~

For this pet you must go to and get buff . Now you can start farm , you can drop this bag from all mobs in Eastern Plaguelands Eastern Plaguelands. Mr. Grubbs has got ~1,5-1,8% drop from Hidden Stash GOOD LUCK!

~~ ~~ ~~
if you want aoe farming go to "Zul'Mashar"

Comment by Eillesthis

Farming for Mr. Grubbs under the effect of Fiona's Lucky Charm, I killed 257 Infected Mossflayers, and got 22 Hidden Stash, for a drop rate of 8.6%. That's of course a much smaller sample pool than wowhead has, and the drop rate for all npcs may not be the same, but wowhead stats presumably include kills without the buff, so I wanted a controlled (if small) experiment.

As for how often those stashes contain what you want, I can't judge from personal experience. I stopped once I got my first Mr. Grubbs - for even rough statistics I would have to keep going 'till I had 10, which would take forever. However as others did last year, we may be able to extrapolate from wowhead stats. As of this date wowhead has seen Hidden Stash drop 319319 times, and has seen Mr. Grubbs drop 5760 times, so maybe 1.8% of the time it's a good stash.

Comment by 659215

20 or so bags with the lucky buff

Comment by 988683

I have completed the whole quest chain and just found out about these. how can I find the caravan to switch the buff to the one needed to get these?

Comment by 364072

Decided to start collecting some pets. Read up on Mr Grubbs and decided it sounded like fun. Flew to Fiona at the East Plague border. Started her initial 2 quests completed both chains until her wagon gave me the, "Lucky Charm" buff. Got my buff and headed to Zul'Mashar. Killed everything up the path into and all the graves, decided to keep killing everything on the "temple" looking thing. Went up the stairs killed the elite and others on top level. Went down level by level and cleared a path. Got the Grubbs drop just before ground level on the backside of the Temple. Opened up, somewhere around 15 - 20 Hidden stashes. Feel like I got pretty lucky. Hopefully you'll get the Mr. Grubbs quickly, too.

Comment by 749141

according to wowhead this pet has 55% drop rate of the bags and the bags seem to have about 10% drop chance this pet is definitely much easier to obtain then other world drops

Comment by dstark9

I got Mr Grubbs about a hour in with the buff from fiona's caravan. My main goal is to get the extremely rare engineering recipe flawless arcanite rifle. If any of you guys come across this..please make a post. I dont know if the recipe was taken out of the game. It still shows its lootable. If anyone from server Area 52 horde side comes across this recipe i will pay well. Garetjaxx.

Comment by 1032972

Ok, i did the 4 quests before i could get the buff. After i went to Zul'Mashar and pulled the large pile of zombies in the middle and one small one. I got about 7 bags from all of that, took me 30 seconds because of the running and AOE loot. I got 2 Mr.Grubbs from those 7 bags in 30 seconds.

I did continue farming after i had gotten these 2, for an additional 19:30 mins and had not gotten another pet.

Comment by Demonette

Why do these bags clutter my inventory instead of just dropping as currency outright? It's a terrible amount anyway so I would rather just not have to deal with inventory garbage.

Comment by Tiyi

I though i was going to add this baby pet to my collection. Well, I had it after two kills, two bags, on pet. I decided to continue, cause i'm that kind of person who wants all the pet time 3. Farmed the bag again, got a second pet after 5 minutes. I thought "okay, so it's an easy farm, the drop must be high". It's been 2 hours and still not a third... So I guess you get lucky or you don't.

Comment by Gadoink4

The bags contain much less money than the mobs themselves usually drop. If you're not trying to get the pet, don't bother with these.
