You can find the robot at 49,38 in the Hinterlands. It's in the lake that lies west of Skull Rock.

Commento di 10502

You can actually complete these quests at quite a low level as a hunter. You don't need to fight the groups that show up.

I found that when the chicken says "Incoming threat detected" or whatever it says, if you plant a frost trap infront of it, multi-shot the 3 incoming enemies, have them activate the trap, the chicken keeps running and you run with him, you can either keep planting forst traps as you walk to stop them catchign you, or leave your pet behind for them to attack.

I do the second, my pet is auto-dismissed for being out of range long before he dies.

solo'd this easy as a 48 pally

I'm going to post this message on all three of these "Find" quests, just in case someone doesn't see it on one of the other two.

If you plan to do these quests in a group (which is very helpful, as any escort quest) everyone must first have completed the "Find" part of the quest, which means you have to find the chicken, choose "Complete" and then be *offered* the next part of the quest, which is the actual escort part. But do not accept this part until everyone has done the "Find" part, otherwise it won't be offered to them as escort quests normally are, because technically you are not on the same stage of the quest yet.

So just complete the "Find" part, then when the next part is offered, decline it until everyone is ready to accept it.

I solo'd this as a 51 Warrior. Make sure you have healing potions. They helped alot. The first mob were 3 lvl 46's. After that was 3 lvl 47's. But there was a 48 shadow wolfe that appeared, and didn't help. I had to fear them, and by the time they were all dead, I was down to 147 health.

Commento di 57777

This is easily solo'd as a 47 lock. When the group mobs come, put VW on one, repeatedly fear another, and kill the one the chicken fights. This strat even worked when we picked up 2 adds (wolves) near the overlook path down to the sea. Instead of fear, I used howl of terror. Only thing you have to pay attention to is mana (ya, I know, of course).

Commento di 95634

Solo'd it with a 47 Combat Rogue. Blade flurry and evasion are your best friend with the troll group. Besides that don't let it outta your sight and follow it in stealth. A Healing potion will help if necessary.

Commento di 105972

I solo'd as 48 Shadow Priest. I died twice, then I just ran ahead of the chicken a little until he said "imminent danger" and i would aggro the 3 baddies and run away off the path, but not getting to far away from the chicken. If you get them on you, out of his way, he won't stop and keep going. After a bit, they will give up chasing u and go back to there posts. No need to kill anything :)

Commento di atropos

Does not accept healing of buffs from players. Pretty annoying.

Commento di 65960

Weird: just did this, no ambushes, just a few critters along the way. Got to the shore, told me completed, and nothing else. ???

Bugged?

Commento di 121576

yeah same thing happen to me??? got him to the shore said completed... no reward no xp???

Commento di 121576

nm lol just re read the quest have to go to bootybay

Commento di 139394

While in the Alter of Zul searching for Featherbeards remains, and then again while collecting eggs I looted 2 of these beacons from the spiders. I tried to do the escort quest 4 times, but the spawned mobs were just too much for me and my boar... no matter how I tried to lead them away from the path, the silly chicken managed to engage them and die... I gave up.

Edit: Actually I only looted one, the second one rotted on the spider corpse. I simply meant that 2 had dropped within an hour of each other.

Commento di BlakMajik

If you're Horde, DO THIS QUEST! When you first go to Hinterlands, you'll want to be 47 because there are a LOT of quests to do. If you loot this beacon, do all the yellow quests, then rescue the chicken because it takes you back to where you need to turn in quests. It's definitely good to do this one.

Commento di 173233

This quest is not advisable with out a group or an above-level player with you, unless you can handle 5+ mobs. As you near your goal, the 3 mobs spawned will be joined by surrounding creeps and they will either overpower you or kill the chicken.

Commento di 180499

The above tactic of pulling aggro away from the chick works. I'm a lv49 shaman, it was no problem at all handling 3 lv47s at one time, but the chick's pretty fragile.

During the 2nd ambush by the 3trolls, I fired away a lighnting from afar to one of them, and pulled aggro. The chick continued stuttering away in the direction of the beach (directly walking past the trolls). Following that, what I did to pull the mobs away from me was by dropping a earthbind totem which slowed them down and I chased after the chick.

*Complete!

Commento di 201063

Warning if someone does this quest before you get there and the robot is not there, you have to wait a very long time to be able to do the quest. So go ahead and go quest somewhere else and go back for him later.

Commento di 227987

Before the fork in the road there will be a group of 3 owlbeasts. Before you go through the mountains you will have to go through 3 lvl 47 trolls as well.

I also had to kill 2 wolves that attacked us, however I can't remember whether they were random npcs on the path or whether they spawned from the quest itself.

Commento di 243831

I remember when I did this. When you are first walking to the island it helps to first kill a couple of the sludges "walking" around. This allows a much faster triip to where you can just keep running till you get to the ambushes.

Commento di 227695

took me no more than 20 minutes farming wolfs in hinterlands as an 80 level.

also: OOX-09/HL distress beacon this "HL" means HinterLands
the same is with OOX-17/TN distress beacon this "TN" comes from TaNaris
and the other OOX-22/FE is about FElaras

Commento di 77935

Do not know if i have turned in the drop item before but i didn't have to find the drop to do the quest.

Commento di 309179

Is there a bonus if you do all three of these quests?

Commento di 340234

Is this quest repeatable?

Commento di 233332

Nope, not repeatable. If you auction or (God forbid) vendor the mechanical chicken, it's gone, unless you ask a GM to replace it -- and I doubt they would replace it if you auctioned it.

Since the vanity pet achievements came out, these things sell for 1500+ at the auction house. Which isn't unreasonable, considering you have to have a level 45+ character and farm three distress beacons in order to get one (the escort quests themselves are pretty easy).

Edit: how to complete the chicken escort quests without dying and/or failing. I have done these on three characters now, which is why I said they are easy, but the first few times I did one it was a pain. First thing you need to know is that the chicken moves FAST, only slightly slower than player run speed, and if he gets far enough in front of you, he will despawn and you will fail. Second thing is that the chicken usually does NOT turn around to help you if you get attacked, unlike typical escort NPCs. The net effect of these issues is that you must always let the chicken aggro the enemies first, whether they are wandering monsters or spawned ambushers, otherwise it will run off into the sunset and leave you to deal with the mobs. Since the chicken is kinda wimpy, ideally you should pull aggro off it right away (though it can tank one mob for a while if you need to drink or bandage). Once you see it emote something like "initializing attack plan beta", start killing. AOEs are very helpful but not needed if you switch targets on the 3+ mob ambush spawns. The hardest part of all these quests is the final gnoll ambush in Feralas, which happens on the road down to the docks. One of the mobs is a shaman and must be killed IMMEDIATELY, before he starts healing the others. Make sure you are at close to full health/mana before the ambush occurs, otherwise it can be quite difficult. Stunning abilities are very helpful here.

As far as farming the beacons, in my experience the drop rate is completely random. Sometimes it comes from your first few kills in a zone, sometimes you can finish every single quest and still not get it. My recommendation is to make sure you plan on questing in these zones as you level up -- many players skip the Hinterlands, especially on the Horde side, because it's hard to get to and a long way from any cities (not to mention that the quest hub is in the far southeast corner of the zone, at the bottom of a cliff -- bleh). But the Hinterlands is worth doing just to finish this quest. 1500 gold at level 45-50ish is nothing to sneeze at. Save it for your epic flyer!

Commento di 361658

I have spent some time with this quest, and some associated aggravation at the mental density <thick as a brick> of the Blizzard Developers.

First, the game interface is seriously lacking as far as maintaining a log of what you have completed and what you haven't completed. How can you tell if you have accepted the quest previously, and then dumped it? You can't.

The quest interface itself should have some mechanism to help assist players diagnose quest related problems. One radical improvement that could be made is to have a section where you can see what quests you have completed, which ones you haven't, and by inference, if the quest is not in these two lists, nor the list of active quests, we can safely assume that we haven't completed the quest.

Some people would say, well, just go to the quest giver, and see if the quest is available.

This is not a solution, as this obnoxious OOX quest chain is proof of. Since the quest giver is a beacon, and if we accept the quest, but do not complete it, and then later, say, when we are level 80 and decide to go back and complete the quest, it is extremely problematic to determine if the quest was accepted and aborted, or if we ever got the blasted beacon to drop in the first place. I went through an entire hinterlands without getting the beacon, and was wondering if the quest was bugged (it is not, it is just annoying). I then went to Tanaris and attempted to do the companion quest and had problems with that as well. I went through 4 or 5 Zul Farrak's trying to get a beacon, countless pirates and wastewater refuse minions before I went back to the web and stumbled upon the location of the Chicken, not the beacon.

I then contemplated the possibility I had tried the quest before, and aborted it, and just needed to return to the chicken corpse to redo this quest.

That solved the problem of Tanaris.

For Hinterlands, previous to my recent OOX attempt, I had not been to the hinterlands. All the areas were newly discovered. I doublechecked the chicken, and sure enough, no ! quest giver icon, even though tracker is set to track low level quests.

By inference, if Blizzard is infallible, this must mean that I still haven't stumbled across the beacon. Off to a second rampage of death and destruction (the game is all about quests: until the quests destroy your brain). After about 20 minutes of killing Yetis and wolves of one kind or another, I had a beacon finally drop from a wolf.

I have noticed that sometimes when objects seem to have difficulty dropping, it seems to have something to do with server load. When the servers are under load, semi rare or rarer items seem to drop less often. Is this my imagination, or is there some fudge code on the server side to drop more mundane loot when server resources are scarce?

In any case, I hope this helped someone trying to complete this quest.

Remember: If you have had the quest before, and abandoned it, you are NOT going to get a beacon to drop. Go to the documented chickeepoo coordinates and see if it is ! questgiving. Also make sure if you are over the level of the quest that you have tracking set to track low level quests. Make sure you don't have a beacon lying around your bank or bags. If you already have it somewhere, you aren't going to get another one. Lastly, check to make sure you don't already have a mechanical chicken. I don't know if this bugs the quest or not, but if you bought a mechanical chickeepoo off of the Auction House, I can see the possibility that that might booger up the goomey works.

Commento di 189321

Someone above mentioned the oozes in the little ooze camp. I looted my beacon after about 5 kills here. I farmed every mob from Reventusk (turtles, wolves, owlbeasts) to this camp. I think this is the spot!

Commento di Maliander

This quest, along with the other chicken rescue quests, has been shortened significantly in patch 3.2: After the first ambush pack has been defeated, the chicken will fly off and you will complete the quest. No more hikes through half of the Hinterlands, fending off multiple ambushes!

Commento di 360166

Got the drop, but only after 2 hours of killing the mangy silvermanes.

Commento di Bubblybutt

Is it just me or did anyone else bust out laughing when the bird just backed up and flew away with a trail or dust/smoke?

I just came back to WoW after a few months, and Ive done these quests a LOT, i just didnt expect to suddenly look back at it and it go, POOF!... Sorry lol.

Commento di Narinae

Both this and the followup do count for Loremaster of EK.

Commento di 417088

They seem to have really made this quest a lot easier and very recently. Did it on my warlock just a couple months ago and it was the same as I remembered, but today did it on my mage and the quest was finished after this first ambush. Yay!

Commento di 536923

This is true. According to a GM, if one of the beacons quests were accepted, the other beacons would not drop. If you did not accept the quest and left the beacon in your bag, then they others would drop. If the quest is in your log, other beacons will not drop.

I couldnt get another beacon, i specifically tried for days, untill i spoke to a GM about it.

Commento di kukensuppe

2 questions:

1. i'm hated by steamwheedle, will this affect the droprate? i've killed countless wolves out here, no quest in log or anything like that.

2. ~~does it only drop from the wolves?~~ it is a random drop off whatever, but i'm 3 days into slaughtering everything out here. spoke w/ a GM, i'm just *that* unlucky with this drop -.-

||UPDATE||
still farming for this, have become friendly-hated-friendly with goblins, spent countless hours slaughtering the entirety of hinterlands, have gone and retrieved other beacons, run the very handy script from sandyra, spoke with GMs, checked the chicken on the tiny island, completed both pre- and post-cataclysm loremaster for the area, and still no dice.

it has been over 2 years

*shakesfist*

||UPDATE2||

after reading through here again and going after turtles on the coast, finally dropped off prolly the 20th kill

Commento di 577026

Actually, that isn't true, or at least to clarify: I've held the Rescue! quests in my log (granted, as completed) in the past (well before WotLK, after WotLK, and right now, as I write this).

I have not tried with the Find! quests myself yet, though.

Commento di MagnusGL

Killed 3 wolves and got it. Level 80 mage, was going to AoE farm and expected it to take a while. Personally, I would definitely recommend killing wolves for this, Mangy version in particular.

On a side note, the escort quest would definitely be worth any length of grinding. Really fun in the end. :)

Commento di Etreum

Holy Toledo! They sure made this one easy.

Only had to kill the first 3 Owl Beasts and it was done. It took off right there and then and did not go to the trolls.

The beacon dropped off Vile Priestess Hexx.

There's a body of a Battle Chicken on one of the small islands inside the lake east of Agol'Watha

Commento di Thottbot

There is a battle chicken body laying on top of one of the islands in the lake East of Agol'Watha. After you bring the artifact to it, you have to escort him to the overlook cliffs. The chicken follows the main road and gets ambushed by those huge Owls. At the time of writing this I'm a lvl 45 Rogue and I can't solo it yet, so bring buddies when you do this quest :)

Commento di Thottbot

level 49 warrior and can't solo it, he spawns 3 owl beasts that aggro on him. he is on the south island at the river's head and you take him out to the beach. found my starter on one of the lvl 42 trolls in the hinterlands.

Commento di Thottbot

He's at 49,38

Commento di Thottbot

If you do all 3 chicken escort quests (Hinterlands, Feralas, Tanaris) you get a chicken of your own from the owner. Search thottbot for "find OOX" and the 3 missions should come up.

Commento di Thottbot

When you escort him you'll fight:

1 46-47 slime
1 46-47 slime
3x 47 Big Birds + 1 48 wolf (sometimes)
3x 47 Troll + 1 48 Wolf

Here is the trick -
Follow him at a good distance
WHen the birds ambush, you can follow him and they will follow him as well and if YOU dont get hit, he will keep going.

This didn't work with the trolls.

Also, at the end he walks right into the level 48 turtles. Just stay back, and it will complete. Then the turtles will kill him, but you really dont care at that point.

Commento di Thottbot

That's the name of the quest you get for finishing all three OOX quests. Guy in BB gives you a chicken of your own. Can't find the quest on Thott, but it shows up on Allakhazam.

Commento di Thottbot

Was definitely easier then the Chicken Escort in Tanaris. There are 3 of these quests. One in Feralas, Hinterlands & Tanaris. I have yet to find the one in Feralas. In anycase, this is all I fought.
1 L46 Slime
3 L46-L47 Savage Owls & 1 Wolf
3 Trolls.

After I killed the troll the chicken walked down the path and to the river. Then he cloaked himself and the quest was over. Thank god L48 Elite Gammarita didn't show up.

I did this at L57 which make it very easy for me. The lowest health I got down to was 800hp, but I had plenty of potions and bandages.

Commento di Thottbot

I love how blizzard puts these kinds of quests in just to mess with us. I also love the sence of humor they have with their quest systems...unlike other games, wow is very enjoyable; despite oftentimes being hard. If you wanna complain about these quests, that obviously means youve tried them a few times, which makes the game even better. If all quests were easy and predictible lvling would be sooooo boring. To enjoy the chicken fully:

1.If your chicken won't prompt( start moving) its probably because someone else is doing the quest, not because blizzard is dumb >.<

2 stay a good distance behind your target chicken, if there's a single mob that starts running after the chick, it will evade, however if you catch aggro....the chicken will ignore you as well!

3. Have lots of pots and bandages, the spawned mobs are not random and are always in the escorts usually in groups of 3. You cant heal your chicken but you can heal yourself!

4. Everyclass has good crowd control, use it to your advantage and usually your able to solo!

Commento di Thottbot

Failed this because I stopped to fight one of the mobs and the chicken just kept running! I expected him to stick around like he did when the first enemy showed up, but he ran away and I failed the quest...

Other than that I think this quest is pretty funny; I still wanna finish it.

Commento di Thottbot

I soloed the quest quite easily as a level 50 pali but imagine that a 49 or 48 pali could do just as easily (I left it a couple of levels because I kept getting ganked by horde)

The only tips that I can add to what has already been said above is:

1. You have to go to Booty Bay to cash the quest in, so you might as well collect the Whisky Slim's Lost Grog quest to collect 20 pupellyverbos port bottles on the beach before you start the quest. The battle chicken escort quest ends where the bottles are.

2. If you follow the chicken at a safe distance behind, there are mob that are not apart of the quest that may attack it. It will continue running and the mob will return to the spawm position so you will not have to kill them.

3. If you get a chance, loot the quest mobs. The first slime is a quest mob - it dropped a (superior blue) mountainside buckler. I only got silver from the trolls and owlbeasts.

4. I changed from a two handed polearm to shield and one handed mace and found that even though I was doing less damage my health was not significantly dropping as much. More armour when taking on 4:1 mob at roughly the same level gives more time to self-heal.

Commento di Thottbot

I failed the quest twice and now I couldn't talk to the chicken but I still have the quest. I'm sure I won't be able to do it again without the item that starts the quest unless if I'll get the item again.
Any ideas what happened to my quest?

Commento di Thottbot

I failed first time. How can I get quest again? The Beacon thing is gone now. Will I be able to find one again as a random drop like i did before? I have tried to find another in the area but no luck so far. Anyone know how it works if you fail? TY :)

Commento di Thottbot

Commento di Thottbot

If you keep your distance from the chicken, it will not fight and will ignore any mob that comes up to it.

Sure, he will get hit and may even get dazed/stunned, however, as long as it sees that you're safe and not fighting it will just keep on truckin' along until it gets to its destination.

It's very important that you maintain a consistent distance from it, perhaps 20 yards away. If you get any closer, it will go into "protect" mode and start fighting. That has been my experience anyway.

Commento di Thottbot

I solo'ed this as a lvl 46 druid in bear form and stayed right with the chicken the whole time as opposed to following from a distance behind as other posts have suggested. The only part that is tough is when the owl beasts wave comes. What I did then is not use any of my rage and once I got down to 50% health, used my frenzied regeneration ability which converted all my rage into health and essentially allowed me double hit points. After the owl beasts, the rest are simple.

Commento di Thottbot

This quest is bugged. I can't get the chicken to move at al.

Commento di Thottbot

First off, I would like to say that this is by far one of my favorite quests. It's rather funny, and its quite challenging, so I decided to create a small guide to help everyone survive (or help the chicken survive for that matter) in this escort.

- You can find this quest off a drop on any mob in the area of the Hinterlands. I would not recomend farming in the Hinterlands for this quest, simplly go around questing in the Hinterlands, it will most likelly come up on its own.

- I recomend you are either a higher level than the quest (aka the quest is written in green) or you have a freind help you. No matter how good you may be at your level, it will still be easier if you are higher than it.

- The chicken is located dirrectlly west of Skulk Rock and is perched ontop of a mound in the pond. The little yellow dot on your mini map should also help finding it.

- Right Click on the chicken to hand in the quest, and recieve your experience. You should now be eligable for the escort. Accept its escort quest and the chicken should be on its way.

- There are 2 quest mobs you will be encountaring, along with any sort of mobs that may be roaming around and in the chickens way. Stay slightlly behind the chicken and try not to agro the mobs yourself, if the chicken agros them, attack the mob, then run at the chicken so it will aid you and also stop it from going any further.

- The first quest mob you fight are 3 moonkins, each level 47. You should have 2 moonkins attacking you, and let the chicken tank the other. After taking out only one of the moonkins attacking you, start attacking the one the chicken is tanking, and kill it. Now you are left with one left, finish off the mob.

- The next is slightlly harder, as it is not on the road and sometimes you get interference with another non-quest mob. If there is not a non-quest mob interfering, there will be 3 trolls approaching you, repeat what you did to the moonkins and you should be fine. If there is a quest mob do your best to only have one thing attacking the chicken at most. Do not assist the chicken, because if you do the mob will immediatlly bounce right to you, as you are the one that will be doing more damage, thus generating more agro. Instead let the chicken attack its own one mob, while you do your best to take out 3 (this is why I said to be a higher level than the quest). Pop your cooldowns, drink pots, do whatever you can to stay alive, just make sure the chicken does not die as well.

- After completeing this quest mob (if you did) the chicken will run to the shore, and surelly enough, activate his cloaking system and you will have sucessfully completed the chicken quest. Hand in this quest to the goblin at Booty Bay, the yellow dot should easilly guide you to him. If you complete all 3 chicken quests, you will get a chicken of your own! (No it is not just a rumor, I have one) It is rather small but made me laugh.

- Good luck, and have fun!

Some complain that the chicken doesn't move. The prevaling theory is that it's because someone else is already on the quest. A query in general chat of the zone should confirm this. Whether someone responds or not, wait a few minutes and try again.

The beacons are random drops in the 3 zones where the quests are (OOX-09 drops in Hinterlands, 17 in Taneris, 22 in Feralas.) If you are going to try and 'farm' these, my suggestion is to grab some of the quests that require killing in the specific zones and then by the time you finish a few of them you should have seen the drops.

I did these as a 51 feral druid, which is probably the easiest class to do it with. I simply followed the crazy mechanical contraption in kitty form stealthed. While you are stealthed, some MoBs ignore the chicken, these you guys can walk past. Some MoBs will jump the chicken and it will fight back, I killed these staying in cat form. Some of the pre-staged 'ambushes' walked right past us when I was stealthed. Other ambushes did attack the chicken, when this happened I quickly switched to bear, dem roared and proceeded to swipe them down (with imp LotP healing me, this was pretty simple although the troll ambush in Hinterlands was probably the hardest.)

If you aren't a druid with imp LotP or above 50, I would suggest you find others wanting to do the quest and do it together. Some sort of tank class would be preferable to have, since they can take aggro off the chicken, and someone with healing abilities is helpful below 50 as well. A decent 45 war/ 45 priest combo should be able to do any of the OOX escorts, higher levels or other classes combined or a 50+ that can pull aggro and heal (pally, imp LotP dru, war w/ 'sader?) or most 55+ should be able to finish these.

Don't forget that WoW is an MMO so there is bound to be somebody besides you who also has these beacons and grouping with others will make the escorts a lot easier.

Commento di Thottbot

lol Toxic101 is a huge liar if he easily solo'd without pots at lvl 44 unless his minion took aggro off the chicken or he just kept fearing them off. The chicken is weakly armored and will die quickly if attacked by more than one npc. Doing the quest alone won't be too bad if you were a hunter or a lock but I would definately have someone assist if you aren't in the higher 40's. lol, some people just love trying to make themselves look better than they really are.

Commento di Thottbot

im lvl 46 hunter first 3 owlbeasts was easy then 3trolls and 1wolf was a little harder.. my pet died and i had to use 1 Superior Healing Potion.
after that there is no mobs back you just walk to the beach to complete quest

Commento di Thottbot

Hinterlands: 49,37
For those of u without coords, it's at the lake NE of AgolWatha

Commento di Thottbot

Solo'd as 47 prot pally. Holy shield and consecrate until they all die. Easy as pie!

Commento di Thottbot

Did as a 46 feral druid no problem, had to use one potion and a heavy mageweave bandage. The chicken itself is at 49,38 (right on a little platform of land on the little lake next to Agol'Watha for those of you without coords).

It was a fairly simple encounter, when the first 3 46 wildkins ambushed us, I went into cat, destroyed the first one, popped out, chugged a pot, went into bear and growl'd at the 3rd one. (Let the chicken take one, you take two, then when the first one is dead get the aggro off the chicken and kill them). After the first group of ambushers lay dead I had about 30% health left give or take in bear form, was tough but it's possible. Afterwards I popped out, bandaged and moved on (no time to stop and eat really, and healing wastes precious mana which again, you don't really have a ton of time to get)

The next encounter is a lvl 48 wolf, which for some reason from my experience did not want to attack me, no matter how hard I hit it in cat it stayed glued to attacking the chicken, just mow this thing down and you shouldn't have a problem.

The last encounter is the toughest, 3 lvl 47 trolls. This is the same as the wildkin encounter only these are 1 lvl higher. I popped into cat, aggroed two while the chicken took the 3rd one, I killed the first one, popped out, regrowth, killed 2nd one, popped out, regrowth, killed 3rd one. These however unlike the wildkin do not become enraged, therefore I think this actually is an easier encounter.

After the trolls are dead you have no encounters left to worry about, just follow the chicken to the shoreline, head back to booty bay and BAM quest complete. :)

Good luck to all and I hope I helped.

Commento di Thottbot

When dealing with 3 mobs it's quite easy to keep the chicken out of trouble. First send ur pet on one of them and let it aggro, place a freezing trap on the 2nd one and deal with the 3rd. U'll be able to finish 2 of them till the 3rd one gets out of the trap.

Commento di Thottbot

If you're at higher level, you can fight them, but if you're just in hurry, then use mount and keep walking in front of chicken. If you see mobs, walk into the group and keep running around chicken, so chicken don't attack mobs and walks further. Then you're already further and the mobs gives up with fighting. (they don't fade out)
You don't need to kill at least one mob if possible. You must run through all mobs for aggro take.

i found a glitch to make this quest very easy but you have to be a mage. maybe itd work with something else u can try

When you see the mobs ahead of the robot, run up and sheep one. Now they will go after you and the chicken acts like they dont exist. Just outrun them and theyll go away like any normal mob.

Cheers

Im a 47 pally and i Soloed it. Its mostly north in that lake, on one of the rocks jutting out of the water. 1st at one point it spawns 3 45-46 Owlbeasts, then 3 47 Vilebranch Ambushers.

I found it at 49,37.By Skulk Rock.

Commento di Thottbot

If you fail the quest your beacon will be gone. But all you do is "abandon quest" and the "?" will appear over the chicken again. I think I did it 3 times on one of these quests. So you do not have to have the beacon in your bags to start over

1: I got the delivery item from a Elf in (Quel'Danil)
(Coord: 32-50) In Hinterlands.

2: At the top of the river, south-West for deramore you find the Delivery Npc, talk to him, and complete the Quest

3: Start at the new Quest (Rescuing him) and Begin walking to the Cliffs.

4: Tip: Watch that nothing is attacking him, he die very easely. so be careful.

5: You Deliver it all in BB (Booty Bay)

I died with my 47 hunter when i did it but only because it came 6 mobs on me on the same time

Commento di Allakhazam

Joke. Anyone could do this that has a mount. Get on, follow slightly ahead of the chicken, grab agro, run around like a chicken with its head cut off. Only once did I actually have to dismount and fight a 47 wolf.

Commento di Allakhazam

ive tried to do a similar q in feralas. Arrived to a cave full of yeties, accepted the q, but the chicken didnt move a bit.

Commento di Allakhazam

Sweeping Strikes and Intimidating Shout are your friends if you're a warrior. The mobs come in sets of three and the chicken also likes to go straight at anything along its programmed path too. Stay ahead of it and draw as much HATE as you can from the mobs and you should be ok.

Much easier with a group though...

Commento di Allakhazam

I completed the quest as a lvl 47 rogue - when the three humanoids spawn, run up and sap one and they should be easy to deal with. Didn't even have to use a health pot.

Its worth doing all these beacon quests because you end up getting a nice 7000xp bonous! (and a free pet gg)

What mob in hinterlands has the best chance of dropping this darn becon, been farming and farming for it for my husbands 45 priest and I can't get it to drop for him.

Commento di Allakhazam

The mount trick still works...just be careful to not let the mobs you are kiting have even one hit on you...if they do, then the chicken auto-aggros onto them. Also...watch out for the stealthed wolves, they screwed up my kiting attempts a few times.

Commento di Allakhazam

I went into the lake a few times and the little yellow dot didn't come up on my screen. I checked here and found out that I passed it a million times. He almost got me killed when passing 2 sludgie guys. The stealth trick didn't work and he aggroed 2 ppl higher lvl than me. Then I failed after I ran for my life and then ironically some horde came. I assumed that they were nice b/c they killed the wolf but Noooo... The rogue got me. I just gave up

Commento di Allakhazam

Drop rate on this damn thing sucks for me. The others dropped in no time in the other zones. I have completed every quest at least twice in this zone (helped some guildies) and still not one drop for any of us.

I would really like to finish this third one just so I can move on....

Commento di Allakhazam

49 38, chicken on a small island.

Like the other said , this is piss easy even when yellow , just get a mount stay ahead of the chicken and get the mobs out of its way. Pack a potion or something just incase you get stunned and your mount goes away. But other than that you should be fine.

Commento di Allakhazam

Wasn't hard at all... Level 46 hunter with a lvl 46 Sabretooth, and I'm Beast-specced. Nobody could kill me, my pet or the chicken!

Troll powah! *lol*

Commento di Allakhazam

As with all the other chicken quests, stealth if you can and the mobs run right by you and the chicken. Didn't have to do anything but follow to complete.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest causes you to loose 500 reputation points with the Bloodsail Buccaneers, even though the quest is not marked as a Booty Bay quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

yeah i see alot of peeps got this done on low levels and different tactics (one with pulling mobs from chicken is genuius d;) ) but i did it with no problems as 50lvl Druid.. yeah i know it shouldn't be a problem for me but q was still yellow so... d:p

I was doing it fine until I started the first 3 mob group. I saw arrows coming from behind the tree from this fuking &*!@# ass alliance hunter. Now the quest failed and I can't redo it. I was trying to do all three. What the fuk alliance are the wussiest ^&*! ever. Just cuz they cant do %^&* in bg where things actually matter they wussy out in world. Fuk you alliance.

Commento di Allakhazam

It must be a matter of special know-how! I tried the kiting technique but they rushed past me to the chicken. In the end I enrolled a lvl 45 mage and that did the trick...

Commento di Allakhazam

Teamed up with a level 49 druid on my 47 rogue, easy as piss. No problems at all

Commento di Allakhazam

Don't try doing this alone - or if you do, wait 'til it's low level. It's tough. Otherwise it'll only make you brake your keyboard.

Commento di Allakhazam

I failed this quest as lvl 53.. because i couldn;t get the agro of the chicken before it died.. so.. if you see the trolls heading to you.. start attacking them.. before they start attacking the chicken. The chicken died before i could kill 2.. so it doesn't have much armor. Had no problems with the birds.

Finished as Lv 49 Draenei Shaman

No ooze ambush, but that stupid sucker ran right through 3 of them. The 3 owlbeasts were easy but at the troll ambush point, 2 wolves joined the fun. I was even unable to loot a corpse because the robot was always aggroing something. After 2 HP pots, 3 bandages, 3 more wolves and a route that almost led into a Horde town (thx Blizz), we arrived at the shore. Skull Orc Warrior rode past me, giving me a cardiac arrest, right after finish.

2 down, 1 to go (Tanaris).

Commento di Allakhazam

Well ... started out pretty good. Let the chicken run around by himself until he ACTUALLY got into a fight. I stayed far enough away where I could watch (and not lose the quest), but not draw aggro. When he did fight ... only single mobs which were easy to take care of, it went quick. There is a wandering trio of owlkin walking the path (which the little fella ran through ... drawing aggro ... BUT ... didnt actually get into a fight ... he outran them) and then right prior to the cliffs there are 3 troll ambushers (2 46 and a 47) ... as a rogue (lvl 50) I got ahead and sapped the 47 ... then took out the 46's intime to concentrate on the 47. Had to use a heavy mageweave in there as well as a superior potion of healing but other than the trolls ... this quest is VERY doable solo ...

Whoever coded this area is a idiot, fought 3 oozez, 4 wolves, 3 owl beasts, 3 trolls, then 2 more wolves appeared, VW died, out of mana i died to, stupid quest

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is ABSOLUTLY not doable solo. The level tag is wrong, it should say 58, not 48. Tried at at level 52 and found it impossible when you come to the end. Attacked by a bunch of bad guys and wolfs and even if you can stay alive yourself, the chicken gets killed. So... Remove the quest from your questlog or try to find a group (I tried, but even that seems to be impossible).

Commento di Allakhazam

Solo'ed as a level 47 hunter. It was fairly simple. used the pet to keep the mobs off the bird

Commento di Allakhazam

As KasparovMD said it before, this quest is doable by anyone who can actually just get the quest.

You have 2 possibilities to do any of those bodyguard Rescue OOX-* quests.

- you call people to help you do it. If you do that there will be no problems to finish the quests, just kill mobs that try to hurt the chicken.

- you want to do it alone. Just mount up ! Mount up and always be ahead of the chicken to see which mobs you'll have to cope with. If you think the chicken will aggro a mob, go ahead and aggro it yourself, and use your mount speed to get the mob to go out of the way of the chicken. Over time they'll get bored and you'll be clear. you'll have to cope with 2 series of mobs (3 owlbeasts is the first serie, and the second serie is some vilebranchs). Each time, just aggro the whole group and make them take a walk till the chicken is ahead enough.

Did the quest 2 times, trying to kill mobs. It's impossible alone except if you're lvl 55+. Then went here and saw KasparovMD's comment. Thank you for that ;)

Hope this helps.

I deleted this typically annoying escort quest after my level 48 warrior just barely died in the middle of it.

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest is Easy... even a lvl 40 could do it... if you could only pick it up at that lvl. Here's the trick: Just mount up. Run just ahead of the chicken. Aggro everything that comes at you before the chicken does and just run back and forth kiting the mobs behind you. Be careful not to get too far from the chicken or you fail the quest. The mobs in the area all run slow, so it's easy to stay ahead of them. Even the scripted encounters can be handled this way. Eventually the mobs will lose interest and reset to their starting position, but by then the chicken is beyond them. I did this quest on the first try using this technique and didn't have to kill a single mob. The Finding OOX in Tanaris can be done the same way. I haven't tried this method for the one in Feralas.

This quest is not easy and need luck i fail 4times each 3time because of silvermane stalker not 2 other group, and once hordes kills my chicken.

Commento di Allakhazam

I hate all escort quests, they are the worst of the worst. This one is no different. I almost always delete these idiotic quests from my menu, but decided to go ahead and give it a try. The stupid robot chicken will go out of his way to aggro everything in site, and he runs so slow that you can rest assured he will die quick if you don't intervene. As a 49 Feral Druid, I simply changed into travel form and tried to aggro the mobs as they spawned, then ran ahead in circles until the mobs went away. As long as you don't allow them to attack the chicken, the chicken will happily continue on his way down the road. If one does attack the chicken, this quest is done. I was fine until we were ambushed by the Trolls, at which point the chicken got hit once before I could pull all the aggro. The chicken then decided it was going to attack the trolls non-stop. The trolls never went away since the chicken occasionally still got a hit in, even though I had them all chasing me in circles. Get to far away from the chicken and the quest fails. Get to close to the chicken when it wants to attack, and it redraws aggro.

Sucky quest, not worth the EXP or the aggravation. Solo it only if you want to hate WOW for the afternoon. :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Just tried to find this after looking on the forum. I checked all the islands and couldn't see it so I alt tabbed to chech the forum again. When I went back to the game the yellow dot came on and the chicken appeared on top of the westernmost island. Definately wasn't there before. Bugged? So, if it doesn't appear, might help to hang around a bit. off now to try to do the next bit!

Coords were correct, and you can cut across rather than running all the way to Skulk Rock. Didn't use the mount trick... just followed him all the way to the coast killing the stuff as it spawned. Lvl 46 hunter - used pet to hold agro mostly, and when necessary, took it myself. I don't think the chicken ever took a hit :) I did heal and mana pot here and there to be safe, but not too tough really.

How stupid u must be to leave your pvp enabled on a quest in a place crawling with alliance, and afterwards cry cause somebody got some easy hp ? IDIOT TURN UR PVP OFF!
stupid hordes...all muscles no brains!

Commento di Allakhazam

Good idea, but when ur higher level its a b*tch to get them to aggro on you. the chicken is out to get you both killed so it will run into whatever possible

Commento di Allakhazam

With the mount trick soloed it at lvl 43 Paladin :D If you get hit of your mount just shieldup!

Commento di Allakhazam

When i got this i read thorugh all the comments and thought this owuld be a tough quest (wasnt going to do the mount thing) and i was dissapointed..

As a 46 Hunter i walked through this quest with absolute ease, the 2 groups that pop were rather easy, didnt even need to heal my pet, and the chicken barely got hit (my ape took all agro with one thunderstomp)

Maybe for certain classes it can be a pain, but as a hunter it was very easy, a nice easy set of EXP :)

Commento di Allakhazam

The robot looks like a chicken. It is sitting on top of the western most island in the lake at the head of the river at loc 49,38. It's a little northeast of Agol'watha. Don't go all the way to Skull Rock.

Commento di Allakhazam

solo'ed this as 52 feral druid, not much problem, just keep aggro on you, meet the mobs as far as possible, keep an eye on the chicken's health.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just completed this as a 47 Feral Druid, piece of cake. I had no slimes appear as others mentioned though. 3 Moonkin while on the road, then 3 trolls in before the path leading down (and had 2 wolves aggro).

Enrage as the groups appear, Demoralizing Roar and a swipe or two to make sure you have all aggro, and go to town. During the last (troll) encounter I used Frenzied Regeneration, and switched back to caster form to throw on some HoT's before going back to bear form, and that was about it.

A warning, it seems that at the very end, there is a chance that snapjaw (I believe the name is), a level 50 aggro-ing turtle may be on the beach. I actually saw him as the chicken was finishing, although he was far enough away there was no worry for myself, but something to be wary of.

Commento di Ayydre

Completed this quest pretty easily at level 48 with the help of a 51 rogue. As with other chicken quests, he walks along at a brisk pace so you won't have much time to drink if he aggros random mobs. There are two "ambushes," first one is 3 level 46 Wildkin, and second is 3 level 47 trolls. He starts off doing eastwards and the quest finishes down by the Horde town coast.

Would probably be difficult to solo unless you're high level, so bring a buddy.

Commento di segt

I think I originally got this leveling to 60 in classic, but abandoned the quest and junked the item.

Now, in Wrath, I spent hours farming the trolls in Jintha'alor, to no avail. I kept coming back to the comments here and finally saw one about the turtles on the eastern beach. It finally dropped in like 20 kills.
