Description

Whilst that craven fool, Mok'Morokk, wallows in power and Tharg wrestles the demons of sorrow and vengeance and vies for leadership of the clan, I seem to be the only one concerned with identifying the source of aggression on our old home.

Why the puzzled stare, <name>? Expecting me to speak like an uncouth ruffian merely because I am an ogre?

Now back to business, bring to me the hearts and tongues from the whelps and hatchlings. I shall trace the root of this evil...

Very low Drop rate. Seems I've been killing those bats for 2 hours and have 7 / 9 quest items..

I'm a lvl42 Elemental Shammy and am having NO problems with this Quest solo, Nor the sister accompanying quests of "Identifying the Brood" and "Army of the Black Dragon"...

watch out for the patrols... I read here everyone saying there are Elite mobs. I haven't seen ONE. is it perhaps Im a lvl 42? (Quest is still Yellow btw).. Regardless, there are no Elites here for me. If you do get caught by the patrols, I've killed them each time.

I use "purge" to purge the patrols of their buffs and Windfury w/ Flurry Axe ( 3 or 4 extra hits when it procs and Earth Shock / Frost Shock..

Oh, and the partols WILL find you, they have radar..LOL
quite often too

p..s I just have to throw one lst comment in here. At the beginning of the quest the drop rate was, I would say, a meager 5%... middle of quest it was about a 20%.. Near the end..when I had 10 and 10 of each the Drop Rate was nearly 80 - 95%! So be patient peeps, it does get better! -)

The base of the mountain range to the south of Dustwallow is loaded with them from east to west. All warnings about patrolling elites and crocs are valid.

The drop rate was good, sometimes a Mob would drop one of each quest item.

I also picked up 6 Small Flame Sacs, which was cool.

Best of all. The total xp on turn in, plus the two "Go tell another NPC about this" trips was 6070xp, as a lvl 45 warrior. Cool!

Quest reward was only worth 35s, but the xp made this more than worthwhile.

Next quest in series pits you against those elites we avoided, so I'll wait a few levels before I come back and do it.

I just completed this with a lvl 42 Mage.

I had to recharge after 2 mobs so it took quite a while.

I felt the drop rate was OK probably arround 40%.&nbsp With some dropping both heart and tounge.

Do be carefull there are the elite patrols, elite crocks and regular crocks to watch out for.

Know where you are standing and watch the patterns of the patrolling elites.

So, confirming around 46,81 has the best location.

Easy quest if you watch the pattern of the patrols.

Did it at lvl 45, MAGES have it soooo easy!
Cast Fire Ward at the beginning of every fight and your hardly take any damage.

Very sweet quest!

Quest has now changed to 7 of each, makes it considerably easier and worth it now!

A good place to farm is just below the new goblin down

Also now that the town is there you can fly straight back to the village, saves you time

As a firemage, do the following:
1. Frostbolt from the max range
2. Arcane Missiles while it comes over
3. When its close, cast Cone Of Cold immidiately, then turn around and start running away.
4. When youre 2-4 yards away, cast Frost Nova and run away 10-20 more yards.
5. Cast Arcane Missiles again.

If its still alive, try to slow it by using Forstbolt, Frost Nova, or Cone Of Cold, then run away and cst arcane missiles and repeat this until it dies. Yes, it does eat lots of mana. But it worked just fine for me when I was doing all those "dragon" quests.

You'll find the whelps all the way around the ruins just on the outskirts. My 42 Druid had no prob handling two or three at a time, as said before watch for the patrols, otherwise a walk in the park.

The drop rate wasnt very good for me. I'm a 41 warlock and i was helped by a 45 warrior. Il say after this quest was done and handed in, i was 50,000 closer to lvl 42. The best grinding quest i have done to date

42,76 is also a good hot spot for these. drop rate isn't one per, but there are far worse drop rates in WOW. stats show ~25% and I got a bti better than that.

This quest can be done in unison with Army of the Black Dragon and Overlord Mok'Morokk's Concern.

And by "can", I mean "should", because the drop rate on the hearts and tongues is horrendous.

Thought I had completed the quest because the quest told me i had 15 of each items needed. But, according to my inventory, i had 15 searing tongues and only 6 searing hearts. Now, I can't seem to get anymore hearts because it is saying complete. I tried abandoning the quest and getting it again and it is the same prob. Had a problem with another quest as well in STV.

41,75 is a way better spot, I got all the items in about 30 min. Just look for them around moutain, and south of that point. You wont have to worry much about crocs there are 2 patrols so watch out for them
