Easy quest, all the birds are clustered together in several spots on the map. Took about 15 kills for all 8 feathers.

Comment by Arx4

You'll mostly find them around 25,46.

They sometimes do a debuff called Gut Rip, which is reduced stamina by 13.

Comment by 26284

Killed about 15 and no feathers, odd drop rate it seems.

Comment by 29676

Pretty good drop rate for me. You can find a whole crap load of them west of Falcon Ridge off to the left of the road (where the road dips a bit). Easy easy.

Comment by 27323

I killed about 20 and I got all 8. Kill the ones around the western bones, they seem to have a better drop rate.

Comment by 38891

28, 55 is a good place, quick spawns not great drops but awsome exp and right in front of falcon's watch

Comment by Gleppe

21.50 is alot of them

Comment by 58473

28,55 near Falcon's watch you kill first 10-20 you get no feathers but after you get 1 feather you start getting 70-100% drop rate.

Comment by 44812

28,54 just north of Falcon Watch ! Drop rate is like 80-100%

Comment by erkarl

22,52 coords.

Comment by 68192

ive killed about 24 and got 0 still

Comment by 68192

lawlzorz i was killin the wrong guyz i was killin the lvl 58 ones

Comment by 67562

They have a "Smell Death" ability. So if you kill one a near one will spawn.

Comment by akafortes

i got the first 6 items relativly easy and now i've been killing them nonstop for about 30mins and haven't got a single one...lol

Comment by 73150

Keep in mind that these drop off of Bonestripper Vultures only; NOT the Bonestripper Buzzards.

Comment by 66882

lvl 61 frost mage. found the buzzards at 28,53. the drop rate is irregular -- killed 20 so far and first 18 only 2 drops and last 2 kills consecutive 2 drops. keep working at it :))

Comment by 93672

30,55 near Falcon Watch

Comment by Tardonis

It was pretty weird. I was killing em, and after each kill another Vulture would fly right to me, as if the vulture did what those other mobs did, where they call for help. Fought 10 in a row.

Might want to pull far from big packs if you find it hard to solo.

Comment by 104976

I found more than twelve of them near 20, 52, and they respawned quickly enough that I never ran out. Took me 18 kills to get the 8 feathers (drop rate: 44%). Easily done as a 61 feral druid.

Don't forget to watch out for the Fel Reaver ...

Comment by shohanu

honestly i loved this quest and ive killed around 50 birds gotten 4 feathers but ive gotten 3 green drops and as a resto shaman i havent died yet. great xp and good green droprate!

Comment by foxlarocks

I am pretty sure only the ones at the bonepile drop the feathers....

Comment by 79249

LoL.. kill 20 so far but drop none..

Comment by 114804

i did th quest and went to the area not far from falcon watch. i had a good drop rate until i got 4 feather than after that it was like the rate was 0.1% and i wiped all the birds out 20 time then i finally got the 8 feather, the thing about this quest u need to have patience it took me a while

Comment by ShellyBelly

26,47 is an excellent spot with many of these.

The drop rate is probably 8-10%.

Watch out for the Fel Reaver walking around - he passes right through that area.

The vultures have some ability allowing them to detect the "scent" of another dead Vulture so be aware that others might aggro to the vulture instead of you.

I got several greens doing this. This is random chance, but this seems to be a better chance than others.

They have an ability called Gut Rip that reduces stamina by 13 (130 health) so watch out.

This is about all the info you need for this quest.

Comment by snifs

I've killed 20 birds and gotten 1 feather, at the 28, 54 camp...skipping this quest.

Comment by fkkoko

Killed 64 vultures for 8 feathers, so 8 birds for one feather. But that's because of my bad luck, you will probably have better droprate ;).

Comment by 130546

Easy to do as a 61 Demonology Lock, pull, shadow bolt and go to next. Just luck, I killed about 30 at the camp north of Falcon Watch. Took 20 minutes tops

Comment by 148015

Easiest quest ever for aoe mage since you can pull 10+ of them at once.
Took me about 5 minutes.

Comment by 140389

Drop rate sucks took me 30 to get all 8!!

Comment by 157089

The drop rate for the feathers is about 39%
I was grinding at the skeleton just north of falcon watch :D

Comment by 171173

Pretty easy overall. The vultures have low health so they are easy to kill and you shouldnt have to kill very many of them. The only problem with it I had being a rogue was that they come one after the other, smelling new flesh.

Comment by 160002

My drop rate has been horrible but I'm getting some nice greens off these so I still find it worth it.

Comment by 174976

If you are killing them make sure that you dont stick around the dead body for too long, sometimes another vulture will come over and eat the remains. This caused me to almost pull the entire group of vultures.

Comment by Slicenitup

Easy quest if not for the terrible drop rate, bleh. I killed 27 to get all the drops.

Trueflight Arrows http://youtu.be/WcZ0Jz_556w

Comment by 479036

In case someone do not know this, arrows are made with wing feathers, and all feathers have to be from the same wing, to make the flight stable. So: GL making arrows with tail feathers.

Trueflight Arrows

Gather 8 Bonestripper Tail Feathers from Bonestripper Vultures and bring them to Falconer Drenna Riverwind at Falcon Watch.

	Bonestripper Tail Feather (8)

Description

With the influx of pilgrims and the encroachment of Alliance forces, things around Falcon Watch have gotten quite busy lately. In my spare time, I usually help prepare batches of arrows for the rangers, but I haven't had the chance to gather feathers for the fletching in a long time.

I could offer you a bit of coin if you'd be willing to gather the tail feathers of the bonestripper vultures. In the past, I've found them circling the bones of large beasts to the north of Falcon Watch.
