So it seems the number one killer of Pandaren isn't the Mogu,the Sha or the Hozen..its Heart Attacks...

Comment by gotRoot

Before you learn the hard way (like I did), make sure your back is not facing the cliff's edge, other hozen or Kon-Kon. These cheeky buggers have a nasty habit of kicking you a good distance away in self-defense and have no problems sending you into trouble or to your untimely demise...

As an FYI though, you can interrupt Ram Ewe, or at least my paladin was able to Rebuke the spell.

Comment by Fiamma

Each day, one of the Ironpaw Master Chefs will offer a quest:

Anthea Ironpaw: Cindergut Peppers
Jian Ironpaw: The Truffle Shuffle
Kol Ironpaw: Fatty Goatsteak
Mei Mei Ironpaw: The Mile-High Grub
Yan Ironpaw: The Thousand-Year Dumpling

Upon completion, each quest awards 56g23s50c, 1 Lesser Charm of Good Fortune, 1 Ironpaw Token and 5 Valor Points.

This is probably the best place to farm leather in the game currently. Especially while the vast majority of people are doing these dailies.

Just sit on this mountain and wait for everyone to come and kill the goat packs, skin away. On my server the goats get killed almost faster than I can skin them. After 15 minutes of skinning i have over 200 exotic leather.

Note that this quest does NOT give Tillers rep, even though the quest giver is among the Tillers dailies npcs. I did this quest for several days before realizing this.

The spawn rate and number of areas they spawn in is atrocious, so if your server is fairly populated it will be near impossible to complete during peak hours.

Comment by Circuit

Good grief, what a terrible, terrible daily this is. All it takes is for there to be a few other people in the area and it takes forever.

Comment by GaidinBDJ

This quest gets much easier if you group up. Especially since you have a random mix of people so, for example, a tank (or even tankish) can pull an entire group. You get some DPS, maybe an off heal or two, and it doesn't affect your personal drop rate.

I've been pushing the the custom to, when it's Goat Stomping Day, gather at the southern edge of the goat area (not Jim-Jim's, the one right above him) and dancing. If you're by yourself and someone lands and starts dancing, invite them to group. When you get five, pick an spawn spot and wait for your goats. It's usually no more than two groups before everybody has their steaks.

For another quick co-op, one person could even fly off and burn ropes, you'll all get credit.

I'd actually like to make this a WoW-wide custom for dailies. Pick a gathering point for each quest area, dance to signal you're LFG, and knock them out faster. Everybody benefits, and, it's in everyone's best interest to join a group instead of trying it alone, which is less effective. John Nash is a genius. If this can catch on, I move that we refer to this spots for each set of dailies as the "Nash-up Point."

Comment by Serrinatta

There are two options to do this quest: Group up or prepare for war. This quest can (and does) bring out the worst in some players.

1. Because the goats spawn in large groups, players will insist on pulling the whole group, regardless of if they can actually handle the group (leading to #2).

2. Some players will wait (and not assist) for these group pullers to die, then proceed to pick off the smaller group of goats (2-3) that remain.

3. Warlocks often use Rain of Fire to take over a spot someone else is camping. Or Mages with , etc.

4. Be wary when using AoE spells, this may invite opportunistic players to drag their battle over at your expense (and possible demise). However, if you're suffering from #3, this is also a common payback method.

Remember that this is a quest, not FFA PvP and can be done quicker and more efficiently grouped up.

On an unrelated note: It seems when I pull large groups on my guardian druid, I get horrible drop rates (1-2 per group; done with quest in 3-4 groups). But when I'm pulling one at a time on my holy priest, I get one every to every other kill (usually done in 6 kills). Anyone else get this difference in drop ratio?

Comment by SFFCorgi

I found there's a small, V-shaped niche in the rocks which provides an excellent foil for getting butted by goats. It's near the marsh edge of the plateau, the highest-up group of goats. You'll still get butted, and spells interrupted, but you can only go up a short distance and you can't fall off the cliff or into the path of a Hozen warrior this way.

Already I hate these goats, and this was my first time doing this quest.

Comment by Qinta

I did this for 2 times then stopped. It's easier to fish for 20 Emperor Salmon or even 60 Carp for the Iron Paw Token.

Comment by Tuckletuts

Not sure what the fuss is about, very simple daily that can be done with the normal Tillers dailies. Serinnatta makes a good point though, you see a lot of fools pulling ALL of the goats, getting to 5% hp, and getting 1 drop per pack. Meanwhile, I pull 1 at a time and get 2 for every 3 kills**

**Noticed this for other dailies too, pulling multiple mobs did not increase the drop chances (suck it dk/bears)

Comment by AnrDaemon

I'll leave this here for all the asocial, loot-greedy people to realize: The drop from this quest is a PARTY LOOT.
The more people you get in party, the faster everyone will complete the quest.

Comment by Rocknight

Make yourself feel a little better if you've just had a hard time with this daily.... pop up to the virmen cave at (23,30) - just inside on the left there is often a treasure chest containing 98 gold. Use it to pay for your repairs :P

Comment by longslowgoodbye

You, will, die...

It is just after 1am Server time on Twisting Nether. I had been doing this quest pre 5.2 and the droprate wasn't too bad 8-15 to get all 4 steaks. Tonight i did it, 40 kills to get all 4. Blizz needs to remember we have several alts that have to do quests and dailies and not make them take forever to finish. Oh Devs only have 1 toon, they can take days to do a single quest, my bad. I will submit a screen shot of the 41 enormous teeth I got that sell for 25S per stack. And the 1 Mushan Rib that i got when I aoed too many mobs. :)

Comment by dyabolykal

I just completed this quest after the rolling restart and it appears that the drop rate has returned to normal.

Comment by 1127849

Kill dozens and dozens of innocent pudgy goats for just four steaks for some guys grill?

Blizzard, how cruel...

Comment by APS72

For Hunter's, is working to interrupt Ram Ewe.
And please loot all when doing this quest, so anybody can use Skinning for faster respawn.

Comment by SteveSw

If you go somewhere near (30.72,33.89), you'll be in a little valley that has a herd of goats up on the hill north-northeast of you. If you're without coordinates, imagine leaving monkey-town and walking south, and then taking the first left: that's the valley. Or, if you can find a sacred space with a vat full of bubbly potion and the wooden monkey totem with fiery eyes, the little valley i'm talking about is east-northeast of that place. You'll someday be asked to desecrate that sacred space, if you haven't been asked already.

The occasional nasty monkey walks through the little valley. If you have the patience, you can prune them rhythmically as they walk by. You should if you're not up to fighting a monkey and a goat at the same time, timing your goat-kills for the intervals between monkey walk-bys.

Once you're in this little valley, you can attack a goat up on the hill with a ranged attack and lure it into single combat with you down in the valley. If you keep your back to the southish wall, you won't get kicked to your death down the mountain. And, individually, those goats are not very strong, so, finishing them one at a time is straightforward.

I got a steak every second or third goat. I won't be going back to study the drop-rate.

Fatty Goatsteak

Obtain 4 Fatty Goatsteaks.

	Fatty Goatsteak (4)

Description

You know what? I think I want to grill up some goatsteak today.

No, not from the puny little shaghorns they keep around here. They don't have nearly enough fat on them.

<The chef pats his voluminous belly.>

You think I got to this size eating no-fat-havin' goats?

Now, the shaghorns up on the Skyrange, to the west... those'll do just fine.
