Many people believe that all three OOX beacons are are more likely to drop off humanoids than other mob types. The drop rates are very low whatever the case, but if you sort the "Dropped by" list according to drop count, you can see that humanoids do seem to drop it about twice as often as other mobs, at least for the Hinterlands beacon. If you're farming for this beacon, focus on one or more of the Vilebranch camps in the area.

Seems like they became bugged on the last patch because I cant pick them up. The "looting this item will bind it to you" window sticks and wont come of until u loot the next time.... mucho wierd

works fine, just did this on my alt

That only means that more drops have been recorded from said mobs. Yes, they may "have dropped" this item "about twice as often" - but you have to consider they've been killed about ten times as often.

I find it unlikely that there is any magic to this other than that this item is a zone drop - as random as a world drop, but limited to the zone (with of course rares slightly more likely to drop it because they will always drop a green quality or better item from their loot table).

After doing every single quest available for horde, getting 2 BoE blue drops and over 30g worth of humanoid farming, this finally dropped right when I was leaving the zone. Dropped from vilebranch headhunter in jintha'alor

*edited for mob correctness*

It took me a long time to find this, the other beacons are easier. After getting 2 epics and a few rare items, it finally dropped off a green sludge at the sludge camp (46,42). Good luck!

评论来自 katora

According to the Wow Armoury http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=8704 this has an equal drop rate of 1-2% of almost everything in the zone, so I'd say any deviation from this can just be put down to chance. That said, I picked up the other 2 easy enough, and have managed to do every quest in Hinterlands without seeing this on my lock.

评论来自 jodel

doing all three of these and turning them in will give you a BUNCH of xp. just the last quest where you get the pet mechanical chicken gave me 10500. (correct me if i'm wrong). it's kind of time consuming, but worth it and really good for the xp, i think. the drop rate of the beacons isn't really that bad if you're doing quests in the area(s). i had all of them drop for me at least two or three times.

I hate this quest soooo much. I've been waging war upon the Hinterlands for hours and not a single hint of this item.

Actually, you probably found OOX-22/FE which, while similarly named, is a completely different object that drops in Feralas.

I don't know if anyone has said this but if your in a group everyone get this beacon in the group off the same mob. FYI

评论来自 Contay

After spending 4 hours destroying the entire troll population of the Hinterlands, I picked off a Silvermane Wolf that randomly aggro'd me, and it dropped the beacon.

I also recieved 2 world BoE Blues, a rare-qualityLeatherworking pattern, an uncommon Jewelcrafting design that yields a rare-quality ring, and enough Wildvine Recipes to make a bonfire in-game (if that was possible) leading up to the aquisition of this beacon.

Moral of the story: It can drop off of anything, don't try to dedicate farming time to getting the beacon. Just quest like normal (aiming for the Loremaster achievement while you're there) and you're bound to find it eventually.

评论来自 237350

Luck be damned, I just had to give up. According to the achievement system, I have killed 893 mobs in the Hinterlands - No drop.

I'm coming back at 80, and I'm tearing that zone apart.

评论来自 Steerclear

Unsure if there is a link to a mobs unique-ness and the drop rate of this item, but I DID get mine off Morta'gya the Keeper...and she IS said to have a slightly higher drop rate. Still seems PRETTY random, but I wish you all good luck!

评论来自 Cassandrart

If you loot this item and find the chicken, turn in the q but then don't do the escort quest, you don't have to re-loot the beacon if you decide to do it later. The chicken will wait for you with the escort quest.

评论来自 245214

I spent 3 days farming for this, confused because none of the others were this hard.

Then I realized I'd found it at level 45 and never completed the escort. I'm dumb.

If you're a high level like me going back to complete this quest, make sure you haven't found it already. You can kill all the mobs you want and it just won't drop. Do yourself a favor. Don't be like me.

评论来自 240252

Does anyone know if there's a specific order these are done? Like Tanaris first, then Hinterlands, etc? Or will any of them drop in any order depending on your luck?

评论来自 269354

I find that the best way to get this to drop is to simply kill as many mobs as fast as you can without bothering to concentrate on one in particular. Kill, kill, kill... and this will drop.

Happy hunting!

评论来自 Gaould

I was here yesterday at the temple lvl 73 and dropped 2 times at first run at top lvl and 1 lower... Must be lucky. Don't know if it is a share drop tho... :) 1 in the cave and 1 on one lower lvl north side at the end.

评论来自 RedwoodElf

I second that...I've done every quest, starting at level 49, and killed enough wolves to almost completely fill our guild vault with meat, not to mention killing anything else that moves. doing almost NOTHING but that, I'm now level 54...and still no beacon.

I think I'll start doing a /cry every time I loot a mob without getting it...I should be in Azshara or Outland, for crying out loud, not spamming turtles in the Hinterlands!

评论来自 256123

I was doing this on my DK to get the mechanical chicken for my main, as I had forgotten which of the OOX quests i hadn't done. I farmed on the wolves and Witherbark trolls for about 10 minutes a piece and nothing, then I went over to the Vilebranch trolls and got this off of my fourth drop.

评论来自 deadca7

Killed the trolls for 3 hours, then I went to 18.6,49.5 and killed one single wolf, and got it >_<

评论来自 252059

It is entirely possible that the mobs that are killed for later quest chains have an understated drop rate due to their being killed by a higher percentage of people who already found it.

评论来自 313851

I had been farming for the beacon all over the place for a few days. I decided to read people's comments and was excited when someone gave coordinates. I knew the chance of it showing up in the same place twice was probably as likely as lightning, but I tried anyway. Lo-and-behold, 5 mintues of farming led to a wolf at 18.5, 49.8 dropping the beacon. The first time I checked the location nothing dropped, but after a re spawn it did. perhaps a patten..?

评论来自 Surefired

Countless stories have been told of people killing hundreds of slimes, trolls, and wildkin. As some people have posted they have gotten kills on random worgs. The Mangy Silvermane in Western Hinterlands is the best place to get this.

A few people have stated they got their Distress Beacon after only a few minutes of killing these. I saw this and personally got mine after killing the 9th worg.

Happy hunting! =]

I am now on a mission: To kill all of the Hinterlands.

I hunted and quested there all through my 40s and early 50s. I came back several times in my 70s. I returned last night at 80 and killed Jintha'Alor twice (once on the way up, and on the way back down.) I have yet to see my beacon. My tailor was giddy about the tons of Mageweave I threw her way, but my beacon is as of yet undiscovered.

So tonight, I shall start at Aerie Peak, and start killing things one by one, moving from one creature to another, slaughtering all things in my path and leaving behind a bloody swath of destruction until that damn beacon drops. Do you hear me, Blizzard? You have been warned, and now the Hinterlands will face my wrath!

::EDIT::
Okay, so not only does my luck SUCK, apparently I'm bugged or something. I was farming the daylights out of this place with my husband's DK, since he's never done the chicken-escort quests before. Ten minutes of killing things, and it drops for him off of one of the coastal turtles. I was right next to him when it died, but I COULDN'T LOOT THE BEACON. D:

We tried to kill stuff in Feralas for another beacon, to see if I could loot that one or not and see if it's just THIS beacon that's bugged, but got nothing for an hour. He hadn't yet turned in the completion for the Hinterlands bird in Booty Bay, so we're not sure if that "disqualified" him or not, so we're gonna go back and kill more stuff in Feralas/Tanaris and see if he gets another beacon and I do/don't. If I don't get the beacon when another drops for him, I'm gonna put in a GM ticket and see what's up with that. :-\

Now if you all will excuse me for a bit, I'm going to curl up under my desk and gibber quietly to myself...

::EDIT2::
*Facedesk!* *Facedesk!* *Facedesk!* *Facedesk!* *Facedesk!*

So, I was out in Feralas about a half an hour ago, killing a bunch of things for one of the Feathermoon quests, going for my Loremaster title. What drops? A beacon! But I was sure that I'd completed the Feralas escort quest. So I find the chicken, lead him to safety, and turn in the quest at Mr. Obnoxious. What does he have for me now? A chicken for me! I'd already done the Hinterlands one! No wonder the stupid thing never dropped for me, and I didn't get it when my husband did. The chicken is now mine and the Hinterlands is free from my wrath. So, as a lesson to you all, if the drop rate seems to suck, go to one of the other two locations and start killing things, just for kicks. You tend to forget things when you haven't done something in 40 levels and two years........

评论来自 329300

OMG, I have been killing stupid Mangy Silvermanes for the past couple of hours, and yet no drop. I have gotten all kinds of rare green drops, but no beacon. Also, I have been killing the whitherbarks in the nearby camp with no luck. Before that, I was farming the soothsayers near the Alter of Zul. What am I doing wrong?

评论来自 275508

I don't know if it matters what order you do these in, but I farmed this particular beacon for days...and I do mean DAYS, with no luck. I decided to give up and do the Feralas one to have it over with, and upon returning to The Hinterlands I had the beacon drop twice in about five kills.

A little thing I noticed in the name that probably everyone who's come across this or the other two distress beacons noticed; in the name, HL means HinterLands, like on OOX-17/TN, TN means TaNaris, or on OOX-22/FE, FE means FEralas.

I farmed for an hour, killing tons of mobs, then ported back to Ironforge to empty my bags, train and sell stuff. I came back and on my first pull 2 beacons dropped. So if you seem to have hit a "dry patch," try to exit the zone then come back.

I've just killed my 100th Mangy Silvermane and not a drop.

Update: Now 200 Silvermanes, plus a couple of Owlbeasts and all the green slimes at Skull Rock .... NADA!

评论来自 89799

OK, by my count it was in the low three hundreds of Mangy Silvermanes killed along with the other incidental mobs mentioned above. So for me it was a random drop, much lower than the 1 % drop rate that this site shows, more like a drop rate of 0.3%. But now I can get my own OOX!

Purely coincidental? I've farmed this on two separate character and have killed hundreds of mobs in Hinterlands: both times it dropped from Vilebranch Raiding Wolf within 5-10 mobs. Luck? Coincidence? Probably. But it's worth a try to test my luck I suppose. Happy hunting!

评论来自 366270

farmed this on many toons across a ton of servers...

first 2 beacons dropped faster then i recall. 2% sounds about right.

this one i killed enough wolves to make a red meat boat to go to stormwind and feed every toon there.

i then read comments, i been in hinterlands 4 days.. grinding on EVERYTHING.. going back and forth..nadda

then i decided to go hit the slimes at the camp nothing..

so then i get so frustrated and bored... i go to green sludge at the sludge camp (46,42)

and just go nuts killing and slaying masses.. the screen was a glittering.. and bam.. 3rd sludge the beacon dropped...

its there.. just takes time.. i believe its very random.

:)

but it makes us engies very VERY happy.

When I did this whole chain on my main, I was lucky as all get out. I usually had the beacon within 10 minutes and the whole chain done in an hour.

Doing this on my alt...pain and suffering. What's more, I'm doing this for a friend, using a toon that really would not want this pet at all (yes, I'm an RPer). It took two hours of destroying Feralas. Three complete razings of Zul'Farrak. I'm afraid of what will befall me in the Hinterlands.

评论来自 sitegod

OK... i have just started doing these now as i am very close to 75 pets...

I grinded for about an hour for the one in Feralas yesterday.... andf also sent a ticket to a GM to find out what if any i have done...

GM said i had handed in the hinterlands one but not done the escort...

So i headed to hinterlands and done it.... then went to tanaris to do that one as it was the nearest.... got the beacon on the FIRST kill....

I am wondering if you can't get a second beacon if you have not compoleted one of the other escorts?

Heading to felaras soon to see if i get the drop quicker this time ;)

To sum up.... deffo ticket a GM to see what you have done before and make sure you have completed the escorts before you head to the others :)

Yeah, just got it on 5th kill of the ogres near the cave :))

VERY happy now ;)

评论来自 405756

I decided to see if I could find this beacon. I have the other two. When I read that someone got it from a turtle on the coast of the Hinterlands, I went there since I can use the zesty clam they drop. After a while of slaughtering, a Saltwater Snapjaw dropped it at 81.6/43.4. I was surprised since I'd forgotten what I was there for! LOL. My gnome mage is lvl 50 and the lvl 49-50 turtles were good for grinding.

And, if you must toss something from your bags during this, toss the tails. The grey item scales bring in over 45s for a pile of 5 while the grey item tails bring in just over 7s per 5. I made quite a chunk o' change! The zesty clam went into the Clamlette Magnifique which raised my cooking about 15 points by the time I was done. The turtle meat went into the Soothing Turtle Bisque (which didn't raise my cooking but I like to use it). I also got several black pearls and a golden pearl and a blacksmithing recipe.

Also meant to add that there's an island to the north. I went there for giggles and found a clickable object called "Lard's Picnic Basket". It is a Horde quest but Alliance can still click on it. However, this makes 2 lvl 49 Vilesomething Kidnappers appear. They don't drop anything and there was nothing in the basket, at least not for my Alliance toon.

评论来自 mouton

Perhaps I was lucky, but I find that the drop rate for this should be the same as the other beacons. There just happen to be fewer quests in the Hinterlands than the other two zones

评论来自 jessika

I started questing in this area on a new alt who had NEVER been here before. The other two beacons dropped for me within 15 minutes of being in the zone. I have now been questing here for upwards of four hours and it has not dropped for me yet. Frustrating. =/

评论来自 Aranyszin

After completing every quest in the zone, and still not seeing this item drop, I set my timer and kill counter and started grinding. I wiped out the Saltwater Snapper population, killing the named twice, then set out to commit war-crimes level genocide against the Vilebranch trolls. After an hour and three minutes, and over 250 kills, it finally dropped off a Vilebranch Wolk Pup. Couldn't decide if I was angry or happy.

评论来自 251272

After 3 hours of doing every quest in that area and grinding everything and anything the Distress Beacon still has yet to drop for me.

评论来自 seebs

There's an obvious reason for which the drop rate recorded is higher on the lower-level mobs:

This never drops after you've gotten the quest. So if it's equally likely off each mob, then you're more likely to see it on the first mobs you kill than on later mobs. So people probably see it more off the mobs near aerie peak.

评论来自 357255

I don't believe the drop stats for this on Thottbot. I spend ages killing Vicious Owlbeasts and found nothing. I went over to Jintha'Alor and the second troll I killed dropped it. Of course, this could just be concidence - it is possible the stats are correct.

评论来自 Uglius

Same happened with this one as with other two OOX.
After first wave chicken launches rocket engines and fly away and escort complete.
My guess is that it changed in patch 2.3.

评论来自 225343

This quest, as well as the other two OOX escorts have gotten much shorter. Originally, the quest had you escort the chicken through three ambushes to The Overlook Cliffs. Post 3.2, you only have to go through one ambush, decreasing the length (And frustration) down to a third of what it used to. The quest ends directly south of Skulk Rock along the road.

This was an un-noted change in the latest patch.

评论来自 burns91

I contacted a GM before I started farming for the beacon because I couldn't remember if I had ever gotten it before. I did check the chicken beforehand and there was no quest. The GM said I hadn't done the Find or Rescue of OOX-09HL so I went ahead and started farming.

I started with the Mangy Silvermanes since there were a lot of people that said they had good luck with them, plus on the statistics it said they were one of the highest drops. I spent about an hour farming and no luck.

Later, I came back and read about trying the wolves and trolls in Jintha-alor, and after about an hour of farming (and getting ganked once and spending about 10 minutes trying to find my way back off the east coast), the beacon finally dropped off a Vilebranch Soul Eater troll.

After going back to the chicken, the escort itself was easy - only had to kill 2 slimes and then the 3 owlbeasts that spawn on the road. Then the chicken takes off and the quest is complete =)

I shouldn't complain, but four hours to find this specific beacon is ridiculous for a green item. >_o; Still, I ended up getting it from a Saltwater Snapjaw, like a few people here. This coming from killing about 100 Mangy Silvermanes and countless trolls of various levels. Heh.

评论来自 Emikserui

The whole mangy silverwolf thing is kinda creepy. I showed up ready to hunt for an hour or two... 10th kill.

评论来自 Eccentrica

Like others, I spent hours farming this thing. I gained an entire level (53-54), filled my bags with Green items, cloth, wolf meat, vendor loot, vibrant feathers and large eggs. I also found an epic world drop , before I finally scored the beacon.

I farmed wolfs of all kinds, Owlbeasts, Slimes and Trolls. I cleared my way up Jintha Alor and back down again. It is quite possible I killed every living thing in the Hinterlands twice over. It finally dropped off a Vilebranch Soothsayer (Skull Rock region).

The beacon is definitely a zone drop, and your chances of getting it to drop are the same regardless of what you target. If you are determined to find it, and want to profit off of the time it will take you (be it 1 kill or 457) do not limit yourself to farming the wolves. The humanoids (Owlbeasts and Trolls) and the Oozes will at least add coin and items to your bags as you hack and slash away.

As a side note, all of the Homing Robot escort quests have been simplified. You only have to escort the robot chicken a short way, and encounter one ambush. The robot will then activate it's boosters and fly away.

I'm a lvl 64 Blood Elf Warlock, I got the Feralis becon earlier today (100 woodpaws and 30 orges) and I just got this one and I'm here to report the specs of my "mission".

20 mangy silvermane, 20 witherbark, 8 vicious owlbeast, 3 razorbeak gryphon, 20 highvale, 3 silvermane wolf, 7 primitive owlbeast, 7 silvermane howler, 6 vilebranch (west), 3 jade ooze, 6 green sludge, 20 savage owlbeast, 2 razorbeak skylord, 13 silvermane stalker, 5 vilebranch (east), 5 saltwater snapjaw, 20 vilebranch (south east)
Total 168

I have never had luck ever in my life and I got 2 becons in 1 day (FE from orge and HL from vilebranch in the south east), so I am here to say IT CAN BE DONE.

Also, I only had to kill 8 things for the actual quest which was completely different than the Tanaras one when I was in my 40s (I died several times).

Feel free to either rate up/down this post upon confirmation as I am speculating. I spent 8 hours in the hinterlands killing literally every mob in sight with no drop. Well over 2,000 mobs. Before attempting to farm the beacon, that particular toon had never set foot in the hinterlands. Not even for the FP. So finally i decided to test out a theory. I went and picked up all the quests from aerie peak and 3 kills later the beacon dropped. If you've never obtained a single quest for the hinterlands i would advise having them in your log while you farm the beacon. Even if i'm wrong you can instantly abandon them later, and when it comes to farming rare/uncommon drops it's better to be safe then sorry.

Was just about to give up getting this drop, after being in The Hinterlands for a solid 4 hours, killing EVERYTHING on sight.

I saw two Mithril veins in Skulk Rock and decided to kill every single Ooze in the cavern - the very last one alive dropped the beacon for me.
So dont give up guys, your time will come!

Oh and, I'd like to add that the first two hours I spent farming was _only_ at the Mangy Silvermanes, south of Aerie Peak, so there is not a better chance of getting the beacon at the Wolves - it's all RNG!

I have just received this drop from a Green sludge. I spent a while hacking and slashing at Mangy Silvermane's, and then read the advice below, that I may have done part of the quest many moons ago. So I headed over to the robot at 49, 38 and was naturally disapointed to find that I clearly hadn't located the damn thing some time in the past.

Then as if by magic I killed the first Green sludge that crossed my path and the beacon dropped!

Hmmm, I wonder why they call them random drops?

评论来自 296787

I'm just gonna say...

I've been farming for the last 4 hours, and I've gotten countless greens. I've dented the wolf, owlkin, high elf, and troll populations enough to make them endangered species. The stupid thing just won't drop!

And just to rub it in my face -_- an epic Robes of Insight drops BEFORE this stupid quest item. The character I'm grinding this for has only done the Feralas portion of these quests :( seeing as she's only lvl 52, and I just got out of Feralas last night.

/endrant -sadpanda-

EDIT: Got it after clearing Jintha'alor for the 15th billionth time :D

I also had problems getting this to drop. I cleared the whole zone about 4 times.

Things that dropped before I got the Beacon:

Plans: Wicked Mithril Blade which made my Blacksmith cry
Robes of Insight
Gut Ripper

Good Luck.

46 priest. Did this last night with a 48 shaman. As lvl 44 and 45 I found the beacon from a wolf and a troll and couldn't loot it. Just made 46 and was able to loot it. Blizz should add "Youre too low to loot that".

When you run into mobs you should whack whatever is attacking the chicken. Dead chicken, quest fails.

You can't shield the chicken. I tried.

This was my first beacon, but the third for the shaman and sure enough he got the pet mechanical chicken.

We ran into two slimes, two stealthed wolves, three owlbeasts and three trolls, in that order. The wolves were one at a time. I think all were 47 or 48.

I failed this quest trying to do it myself, now the chicken is gone from the rock. i looked twice to restart it. I have abandoned the quest already. Do i need to farm another becon or what.

评论来自 Thottbot

I found this really hard, you have to run forward into the 2 mobs because if the chicken gets there first it will die.

评论来自 Thottbot

The drop rate is messed up obviously because you only get the drop once. Once you get the beacon you cannot get it anymore, that is the explanation for the >1% on all the MOB's

chicken at 49,37 on top of the tallest stone in the lake where river starts (near skulk rock as said in q)

评论来自 Thottbot

dropped on mangy wolf thingy =D

评论来自 Thottbot

Here is how I did it. For the first time, let the chicken die when you meet the first three owlbeast, then kill 1 or 2, and leave to get the quest again. Now when you reach the same place, there won't be enough time for the beasts to respawn, so you pass without a fight. When reach the second group, dps everything you have to kill the first two but make sure you aggro everyone of them so that the chicken can stand more hit after you die later, then assuming you're like me, a lvl 47 priest, you would probably die at the third one, rush back from the gravelyard which is only seconds away, and kill the third one. Mission accomplished.

Good luck.

I was killing Trolls when i got this one dropped, thought i got dc in the escort :'(

评论来自 Thottbot

The owl beasts have by far the highest drop rate for the quest item. Just kill them and anything else that gets in your way.
Took me roughly an hour, and made some decent exp while grinding the thing. Personally i gladly accept any reason to grind, because grinding for the sake of grinding is to boring for me.

评论来自 Thottbot

Ok, so i completed this quest, got the chicken all the way to the shore, the quest says COMPLETE in my log. Went to Booty Bay to turn it in as previously told to, and there is no one there to turn it in to. There is no yellow dot, and i went to the Oogle guy and he does not except it? Is this bugged or am I missing something? Where do i turn this in?

评论来自 Thottbot

Is the drop rate on the Vicious Owlbeasts way too high or what? Just wondering, 3.4% is high for a random drop.

评论来自 Thottbot

I farmed this item for two consecutive nights, 3 hours a night, to no avail. I was killing the various Owlbeasts, Wolves, and Oozes. Today I switched to the Saltwater Snapjaws along the coast, and after 40+ kills it finally dropped off a level 50 turtle right next to the Horde outpost. They drop Speckled Shell Fragments; each stack is worth 45s.

评论来自 Thottbot

It took me 9 hours of pure grinding and no avail, however while farming ghost mushrooms one of the oozes dropped the beacon (sadly, just a few hours before I helped my warrior friend with it). I decided since I had to wait for the shrooms to respawn anyway that I would try to solo it.

Surprisingly, it was supremely easier than the Feralas and Tanaris ones. As a 48 feral druid, easily took down the oozes in the beginning and kept behind him until he alerted me of the incoming danger, where I switched to bear and ran up to aggro the 3 incoming boomkins. It was a very easy fight, I let my rage go up for the first one, while always keeping demoralizing roar and faerie fire up, then when he died I slapped down frenzied regeneration for the two. Got through the second easily and then switched to cat to finish off the last one.

Same strategy with the trolls really, since it's a long run the cooldown finishes. No problems at all. Just heal between fights!

This is a quest for Peacecraft and not warcraft (for preists). On the other two chicken quests, the chicken would fight the mobs, and I would get bogged down in the fights and before i could get all the aggro (using power word pain) on me the chicken would die (not me). In this one, the chicken keeps walking when the mobs attack since I succeed at getting all the aggro on me. Then I fear the mob (I'm a preist) and ran to catch up with the chicken. And the mob doesn't follow! This happened with all 3 mobs I encountered.
So I didn't get to kill anything and finished the quest! But I wanted to kill the Owlbeasts as they might have Eggs which are useful for the 225 cooking quest for my alts.
In the other chicken quests I have failed, even if I get all the aggro on me, the chicken joined in the fight too, creating problems and becoming chicken nuggets.

Just did this quest as a 50 Paladin, was very easy.

A nice pally trick to use (with any escort quest) is to judge SOL on all enemies who are attacking, occasionally switching targets to keep the seal active. This way your escortee is constantly healing and you don't really have to worry about failing.

I got mobbed at one point by 3 quest mobs and 2 wandering mobs. During the fight another walked too close and aggroed making it 6v2. With SOL active on all enemies, it was easy to tank and the chicken didn't get below 80%.

评论来自 Thottbot

Not sure if it's been mentioned but I finished all 3 of these chicken rescues and didn't receive anything special. I did however have to abandon one and re-do it because I died while fending off a mob and the chicken killed the last remaining mob memeber and wandered off into the distance. It was never found, never reset, and the GM's just told me to abandon it. So make sure you don't let that bugger wander off or live when you die!

评论来自 Thottbot

You turn in the quests for all the chicken escorts to a gnome in Booty Bay, Oglethrope Obnoticus.

I had been trying to get one in tanaris. i helped a guy do the quest there.

I will probably need help on this one. .me puts in the bank for later use

评论来自 Allakhazam

I got it first try from killing Tcha'kaz at 24,65. Guess I got lucky :D

评论来自 Allakhazam

I got the beacon drop off of a OWl beast in the hinterlands

评论来自 Allakhazam

anyone got this one? Did the beacons in tanaris and feralas but never got the Hinterland version dropped. And I spent a lot of time farming trolls.

评论来自 Allakhazam

What is the end result? of the quest not the chance to get a drop poll.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Pretty much all the mobs here should be marked as Hinterlands. The ones that aren't, are mislabelled.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I just helped a guildie complete his last 2 of the three beacon escort quests. When he turned the last two in, he got an additional 7000XP and a "pet" escort chicken. So doing all three gives you a bonus. I still need the beacon drop from the Hinterlands to finish my three......so I'm off to do some hunting up there.

评论来自 Allakhazam

While i was leveling up, i hit 49 and decided to halt for a while and grind on the pvp.

God... i did pvp for about 2 months alont with just messing around here every now and then to get the beacon - took god knows how many kills, but it finally dropped off a vilebranch wolf pup

评论来自 Allakhazam

on my other char i got feralas one and hinterlands one and never could find the tanaris one now i have got tanaris one and feralas one this char and cant find hnterlands one, weird isnt it

评论来自 Allakhazam

The quest dropped from a wolf in Hinterlands, right outside Agol'watha. I think you can only get this quest once, so if you delete the beacon you're out of luck.

Getting to the robo-chicken was the hard part (for my level 44 Hunter, making it past the Jade Oozes etc to the lake east of Agol'watha).

I had to search on the forums to find the beacon. Walked all over the place first. Beacon is on the big island rock in the lake.

Then, I followed the chicken. Key hint: ride your mount, hang back from the chicken, and then when it runs into trouble (e.g. 3 level 47 Owlbeasts walking down the road), just let it keep walking. It seems that if mobs don't hit *you*, the chicken won't stop walking.

I had to kill a level 48 and a level 47 green slime (sludge?), and a level 47 and level 48 Silvermane Stalker (wolf)... I didn't have to mess with the Owlbeasts or the trolls (or the level 50 Snapjaw turtles on the beach which were yellow-mooded so they didn't attack since I didn't bother them).

But all in all, not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be... and not as hard as it would have been (impossible) if I had battled every mob that took a swing at the chicken.

Good luck...

Okay, so I've been farming slimes in skulk rock for 3 hours now. Is this confirmed to drop?

Edit: Okay I kid you not, it literally dropped on the mob that I was shooting while typing the comment. Confirmed to drop.

评论来自 Philippos

dont even try to solo this as a prot warrior

评论来自 Nandonut

Might be complete chance, but I was farming slimes for about an hour in total with no drop, and then I figured I'd switch it up so moved over to the Owlbeasts and got the drop within about 4 or 5 of them... Was the Primitive one to be specific

评论来自 Fetlock

Droprate of roughly 1% seems right. I killed 72x 银鬃狼 and 45x 邪恶的枭兽 to get the drop from one of the Owlbeats.

评论来自 Crazywoman

Farmed for 4 hours , killing slimes/elites etc etc.. then i read in forum here to kill owlbeast.. 10-11 kills of them and it dropped :-)

评论来自 ZekkDistor

Took me about 2 hours of farming the Witherbark Trolls (they die easiest I find, and I don't have skinning), after finishing all quests in the zone. Droprate sucks bad.

评论来自 GhostGhost

2 and a half hours and a full level it dropped.

Happened to drop the first kill after I left my group.

评论来自 trashpanda01

started Hinterlands with level 48, I am now 51 and all the quests are done. No beacon in sight. (SoM)

how come the beacon in tanaris and feralas have moderate droprates, and this one is rarer than a female dwarf?

评论来自 Karpata

Droprates are probably all roughly accurate and I got a bit unlucky. No miracle story here. Killed a large variety of mobs and including owl beasts and slimes. Took about 700+ mobs and it dropped from a troll.

评论来自 OPUNTIA

just did all 3 at level 80. The Hinterlands one didn't match questie for drop off and the mobs never spawned even though the chicken said attack was imminent. Still marked complete.

killed everything in the zone with no drops until the silvermanes close to the alliance town tip. Then it dropped right away. Coincidence maybe.

Wanted to post an update relating to current Classic Era servers. For about an year (or more), NPCs have had bugged pathing when they go in/out of water.

Naturally, after grinding for at least 3-4 hours I found the beacon (got it from Trolls btw, I farmed Oozes for hours with no luck) and during that time had to go back to sell to vendor twice, and I got to almost 20% durability just from fighting the oozes (with no dying).

So, it turns out that the chicken does have to cross a small section of water, which due to the bug leads to the chicken walking down to bedrock and disappearing into the void. This will fail your quest, but what I found is that if I go inside the water and just dive in a bit (the spot where it crosses is very shallow), it won't actually fail the quest. I guess you are closing in on the distance enough to stay in range like that?

I ended up finishing the quest, but wanted to give this as a heads up, because there is no sign of Blizzard planning to fix this bug anymore and it may appear like the quest is 100% undoable, but it is still possible to do it.

评论来自 DakMonkeyz

To anyone grinding this in wrath, it can drop. The drop rate seems lower than during classic vanilla. I did all the quests in Hinterlands and grinded the trolls at Jintha'Alor for over 3 hours before it dropped. It finally dropped from a Vilebranch Blood Drinker.

Stay at it, it will drop eventually, good luck.

评论来自 ariaser

Was farming this by looting blood elves and wolfs around QUEL' DANIL LODGE (31,49), dropped after +- ~70 mobs (from one of the blood elf scouts, but that's irrelevant)
