This quest's directions are pretty bad.

Highpearches have their own subzone in northwestern Thousand Needles.&nbsp If you look on your map it's the obvious protrusion area off the west edge of the zone.

Beware- Horde has a similar quest here and you are almost certain to encounter lvl 30ish PVP.

13,34

Make sure you go all the way in, up to the back then climb the ramp to the very top part.

There is a rare beast plus a great chest with gold bar and lots of goodies at the base of the pillar.

I just kept clearing the area out. Every time I cleared it I ran back to the top of the ramp then turned and ran back in. Every time but for once there was at least one respawn when I got back in.

Mind you, the drop rate still sucked, but I did get the chest twice while there.

There is a horde guy (quest giver I guess) who just stands there. Leave him alone he gives no xp and doesnt drop a thing.

If you don't use Cosmos you can find the spot here: http://www.wowlocator.com/Thousand_Needles/11/35

You will find the entrance to the plateu at 14, 33 in Thousand Needles. Just run up the ramp there and you will find the Highperch's.

It's SW in Thousand Needles, not NW! Also, spend 1h trying to find it just because it's on high lands. You'll see on the map a gut shaped area, you'll have to climb a path to that place.
After geting the venom sacks you can return to Theramore flying from a nearby elf camp. It's at the western border with Feralas.

it took me forever to find were the wyverns were but for those of u lookin the path starts at 14,32 (thousand needles map). its the bit on the left of the map that sticks out. u cant miss it caos its the only bit that does. happy hunting:D

not bad exp if you can just suck it up and run down there during off hours -- im a 32 hunter, got about a bubbles of exp so far and a bunch of skinning points if your a skinner, id say just run it, at least you can sell the biz afterwards

being a hunter+skinner its a fine quest, by the time I got the 10 venom sacks I had tons of skin too :-P
Definitely, I'll pass this one with my warrior.

ok for those without co'ords if u have FP to thalanaar go southwest hugging the wall till u see a tauren totem pole keep hugging mountain and look up as u go u will see path...if u come from the lift go as straight across as u can to get to other side (avoiding or fightinh anything in ur path stuff) once u hit wall go a little north grab FP then follow previous directions.&nbsp Drop rate was about 50/50 but if u r skinner woot, if not just enjoy the xtra xp

Pretty easy. If you can fly to Thalanaar, just hug the cliff as you run to the cords, I didn't fight one thing that way until I got there.&nbsp My drop rate was about 15% when I finished but they are easy kills with some good XP and the spawn time isn't too shabby&nbsp for how many of them there are.

I also found a solid chest that respawned pretty quickly with gold bars, plus a mithril vein if you are a miner. Blizz must have improved the drop rate as it only took me about 20 min to get them all.

Here's the map https://classicdb.ch/?npc=4107

also the place to get shells for armor quest

The drop rate for me was great! First nine dropped easy hasd to kill 5 to get last one but thats like any other quest in the game.
little disappointed that it didnt lead to a chain quest cause the item was lame.Just be sure when you come off the great lift from the barrens to get the journal laying on the ground nearby. This quest item get turned in at feralas which is north of highperch and there is a flight path in feralas where that quest gets turned in so its not a total loss

Only attempt this quest if you have the patients of a saint. As a 32 mage I got ganked by horde 3 times. Shocking drop rate. Crap reward. Just a bad, BAD quest.

With all the time it takes to get to Thousand Needles, and the low drop rate, as well as nothing much else to check out in Thousand Needles for Alliance, this is probably the biggest waste of time for a quest there is.&nbsp

Do yourself a favor and just pass on this quest.&nbsp There's not enough XP in it to justify the time.

Yes there is a horde quest there to obtain the eggs

The path is marked by a large totem pole. It is on the south wall of the zone and can be seen on the map as the round bulge in south wall.

...the first time I did this quest, the drop rate was horrible. Tonight, I discovered Highperch (where the wyverns are) at exactly 11pm, and collected my last venom sac at 11:12 pm. Not bad at all. Of course, this was as a 32 warlock, so I had virtually no downtime between kills, but the drop rate was very good for me: approximately 15 kills, and one of the drops was from a patriarch, so they do drop them also.

this general area is where to find them.

I'm assuming it's a given that you're going to get targeted by Horde when you go here? Is there a quest here for Horde players too or something?
I attempted this as a lvl 30 Hunter, which should've been easy, but I kept getting targeted by Horde the minute I came into the vicinity. I'm going to have to bring a party with me to do this one, I'm thinkin...
Any suggestions?

I found that if you wait for a few seconds you usually get a venom sac, dunno if any of you found this aswell but i got the quest completed in like 10mins

Drop rate is like, 1 in 8 wyverns. :P Griffin eyes drop almost every time :P It may be that only the Highperch Wyverns drop them, no HighPerch Patriarchs or Consorts etc.

As you enter the area if you turn to the left, the pod against the wall has a trail going up to another area with more griffons and a named griffon, as well as a tauren for a Horde quest.

This is a good area for iron and sometimes a mithril sighting.

Was sorta hard to find.
Heres cosmos 12.34,12.34 once you locate the totem you need to climb the winding path way to the top of the mesa its at the mesa top.
There you will find a new world of these things flying around gracfully.
They're an easy pull one at a time.
They are agressive if you get to close to them.
Watch for the hyena packs on the way there. And there are plenty of lvl 27-28 cougar on the way as well once you leave the great lift.
Happy Hunting

Does this quest give me any reputation? What faction?

Oh well, I'll find out tomorrow.

This was easy. If you have previously done the quest " Reclaiming the Charred Vale" then you should have the flight path to the moonwell on the border of Feralas and Thousand Needles. Just fly there and follow the border (rock wall) Southeast. At the first totem you reach you will find the path leading up to Highperch. I found the drop to be about 30%, but I then found another path marked by a totem in the eastern section of Highperch that leads up to another section with one level 30 Tauren. I found a 100% drop rate up there. I killed the Tauren just for fun, he resisted many of my spells, but did hardly any damage to me as he only hit me with his staff.

If you don't already have the flight path mentioned above, I suggest getting it while your there. To find it from the Great Lift, just follow the road west toward Feralas, at the border (lush green woods) turn south and it's right there.

As for being targeted by the horde, they shouldn't be able to kill you unless you are playing on a Pvp server or you had previously entered a Horde encampment to flag yourself as pvp.

ok i've found it drop more times on the consorts the the wyverns. even though the drop rate suks. dont try this quest if you dont have alot of time on your hands because it takes FOREVER literaly!

Just kill anything that flies =p both the consorts and the wyverns drop them, though I found the drop rate better on the consorts. I had this done in ten minutes.

Experience 3650, at lvl 30. Fast with 60% drop rate.

NE Hunter

i dont know if im having bud luck or what, but i cleared out the entire place 2 times and have only had 5 venom sacs drop so far

took 4 1/2 full clears to get the 10 :(

yeah confirmed, the drop rate is so freakin low... plus they are poisoning u ALL of them. i mean it. ALL. good luck ( u will need it ) ;D

How are you suspose to get this quest now? She does not offer it, is there a pre-quest to follow?

Ok Red Jack Flint sends you to her supposedly (that may have changed since the patch but I do not know since I picked up the quest before the patch) and you can now find her on the Auberdine docks at 34 42.

Doesn't this sound remarkably strange; the first quest in a very popular leveling guide has had the NPC moved? I also heard that the NPC has been moved to Auberdine as well though I am not going to bother. With the new leveling speed I am going to skip the guide's 30-31 grind. Dismiss this quest and go straight on to the Mirage Raceway imo.

all wyvern drop them, it's pretty random, you get 1 then wait a bit, get another one, etc, etc.

no faction adjustment

3650 exp at level 34
