The first time I did this I thought I'd follow the roads. - Mistake

If you do that, you'll end up in Darkshire (bad move).

Once you get to Duskwood from STV (assuming you don't want to fight your way through), just hug the mountainside to your right (east) all the way around until you spot the first road (you may have to fight a few low level mobs, but they're easy).

Hang a right on that road and that should lead you into Deadwind Pass...Continue on into Swamp of Sarrows.&nbsp

From there, the coords and hints listed previously work fine.

This was among the easiest kill quests I've done.
Great for a Level 38 Night Elf Druid!

Why?

1. The Green Whelps attack with Nature - Night Elf Druid's have +15 resistance, which means even 3 at a time, these guys are notthing to be worried about

2. In Cat form, these guys take about 10 second to slaughter. Tiger's Fury + Ravage, followed by Rake and they're history

3. Drop rate isn't that bad at all

4. As a leatherworker, the Green Whelp Scales these guys produce sell well at AH.

5. Very easy to get to for Alliance with Darkshire fp (head east) and for Horde who already have Stonard fp (head west).

6. XP and Gold gained in 20 minutes of completing this quest was roughly 15,000XP and about 15 gold after sales at AH

This quest was worth every moment it the time it took.

10/10 from me!

12,60 are the right coords, for anyone who doesn't have cosmos once you enter the swamp just go right and you should be in that area. I was a lvl 35 hunter when I did this, but I think I could have done it if I was lvl 34. Anyways, the drop is alright, I spent like maybe around twenty minutes farming for the dream dust. Just be careful when you are fighting the Dreaming Whelps. They can put you to sleep for about 20 seconds, anytime I fought one I was always put to sleep so my pet had to do most of the work. But beside from that this area is perfect for people grinding around lvls 34 and 35. You will make a lot of dough out of it, I kept on getting money from like every other kill and by the end I had 25g since I had 24g before I started farming. You can get a lot for the vender trash that they drop.

I got the 10 dusts in 26 kills, so not too bad.

For Alliance, if you haven't yet, you might as well establish the flight path to Nethergarde Keep in The Blasted Lands. Just be careful on your way over for the Stonard Horde keep, but once you get out of Swamp of Sorrows, it's an aggro-free run. Quick way to get back to Darkshire or SW.

There is also a string of Alliance quests you can pick up in this area, from Watcher Biggs just off the path to the East of where you fight the Whelplings. The first quest in the sucession is:

(Quest #1396) luck!

While some have said the drop rate is terrible, it is possible I got lucky. About 1/4 dropped for me, it seemed. These little guys are located just east after you enter the Swamp. Also, if you're really lucky, you could get a Tiny Emerald Whelping (very rare pet) to drop off of one of the Dreaming Whelps. I did this at 35 with no problems. Be careful to aggro only one at a time or you can get swarmed.

Anyone else feel bad for the little dragons when they die? They sound so sad.:)

The place to be is around a pond just south of the main road in.&nbsp Middle of pond is at 14,60.&nbsp The area is called Itharius's Cave due to the night elf in a cave at the bottom of the valley (he is green for horde but has nothing to say to you, he is a high-end alliance questgiver it would appear).

The adolescents and the dreamers both drop dream dust at about the same rate from what I could tell.&nbsp They are both powderpuff caster mobs that go down fast in melee.&nbsp I grinded there as a lvl36 druid and when I would crit on my catform opener, the fight was over in less than 5 seconds.&nbsp At ~200xp per kill, this is a great grinding spot.&nbsp

There are two swamp jaguars you have to contend with, one on each side of the pond, but they are lvl36-37 and are no big thing.&nbsp Respawn for everything is fast and this is also a good herbalism spot with liferoot, fadeleaf, blindroot and so on.

The mobs also drop small flame sacs about 1 in 10-15, which sell well at AH and are also useful for a number of things (including Dragonbreath Chili).&nbsp These are the lowest level mobs in the game that drop these if I am not mistaken.

Co-Ords 12.60
I had a drop rate of about 50% if not better!

I'm at 12,60 now and there are lots here.

As a rogue I hung around just picking them off&nbsp took about 3/4 hour to get all 10 dusts.

Very bad drop rate but you get the XP for the kills while you're waiting so it's not all&nbsp bad news :-)

how do you get to the&nbsp swamp of sorrows?

(3 post)

i have a question... why he bring the dream dust to his noose?
its narkotic?

I have to agree that the quest can be very easy, Though the quest is in a contested, (and horde heavy,) area. Most of the high levels are on their way to Duskwood to Gank, and don't bother to stop and look around for alliance in the swamp itself. You will be bothered by little, if any, gank pvp. If you look around a little, the dragons respawn quicker than one person can kill them all. The drop rate, I admit, is pretty bad. But if you go at a time when server traffic is low (aka Not Prime Time) you should have no compitition for this quest and the drops will seem more frequent.

I don't have any Horde toons high enough to enter the swamp yet, but from what I have seen Alliance traffic is pretty much Ziltch. You shouldn't have to look over your sholder much.

If you follow Komani's excellent directions above to reach the Swamp of Sorrows, go to the south-west corner of the province.

The drop rate isn't wonderful but the way the creatures spawn is good, in that it's quick enough that you don't have to spend time searching for them, but slow enough that you seldom have to fight more than one at a time.

Cordinates is 25.56 drop rate about 25 %

Crappy 8% drop rate on the quest item, but every single whelp dropped at least 1.5s, sometimes as much as 2.75s.&nbsp Monotonous, but good xp (after killing almost 80!) and good $$&nbsp =)

Also dropped by the Elite Wyrmkind along the shore where you get the Pristine Crawlers quest items.&nbsp Wyrmkind 41-43 Elite.

12.60, that is an accurate coord. in and around there, they drop just fine. killed both dreaming AND adolescent whelps, pretty sure i was getting the dust off both. but the drop rate isn't half bad. took me maybe half an hour and in that time also found random vendor trash, one jade, and what looks to be a decent pair of level 29 leather boots. not to mention 1-2 silver per kill. not bad at all.

the swamp jaguars i had to kill cause they were biting my minion, by the way, do not drop dream dust :P

Anyone else only getting 1 every 10?

I got the most of my dust drops from Scalebane Captains (lvl 43-44). There's a good spot at 61,41.

I must have done extraordinarily well.

Dreaming Whelp dropped 6 (off 9 kills)
Adolescent Whelps dropped 4 (off 7 kills).

14, 65 confirmed. I got this quest at 40, took me 20 mins, the drop rate sucks, but the respawn is quick! All in all, not to bad of a quest, they are casters so not many hps. They do cast sleep though.

Completely soloable for a bored level 30 Paladin. Judge and Seal Light and do whatever while you're beating on them. Lots of good mining opportunities... and if you're whining about the gankage, whyTF are you playing on a PVP server? That's what PVP server *is*.

4350 xp as of 2.3 !!!!!

Drop rate for me was weird... got my first 5 in like 8 kills, went 12 kills without one, then my last 5 in 8 kills also. So i guess drop rate is around 25-30%.

Easy quest.The creatures are around the pond just south of the main road.&nbsp West when you come out of the villiage.

Just to make sure there is no confusion, Dream Dust drops from both the Adolescent and Dreaming whelps.

I got a drop rate of 26% from Adolescent Whelp and 24% from Dreaming Whelp around the lake/pond at 14,56. (41 Undead Warlock)

Go to Itharius's Cave near 13, 65.

It's full of Adolescent Whelps and Dreaming Whelps (lv 34-36).
Good drop rate, indeed!

I thought it was pretty easy

did it with my lvl 38 priest and i got it done in about 10 minutes.. killed like 20 of em so the drop rates were pretty good with me

Dream dust drops from Wyrmkins and Scalebanes as well, which are around the north side of the lake and along the coast. Drop rate was bad, but I was killing them all because I couldn't track them. I never saw a whelp.

Drop rate 1/2 - 1/3,

respawn is too slow for a 47 rogue clearing his quest log

This quest took FOREVER, but it is a great place to grind, all in all I walked away with 2 greens, 13 Green Whelp Scales, 3 Small Fire Sacs, about 20 heavy leather, and 15 medium leather.

This quest is SO annoying. The drop rate is pretty pitiful on the whelps, and to top it off you have to compete with people farming the whelps for whelplings! At lvl 39 I am WAY to little to go hunt the elite dragonkin near the sunken temple. Their drop rate is lower anyway. Stupid farmers :p

um i dont understand why tou are all ignoring theramore isle it's pretty close as well and you can get there from menethil harbor by taking boat

The Drap rate on these really suck. I was there for about an hour. The only good thing was they respawn very quickly

Last kill i got [Archer's Gloves of the monkey] look them up :D
