Thick Yeti Fur (10)

Description

My friends are always coming up with great ideas. I've never felt like I could match them... until today! I just drew up the plans for something great! If you promise not to tell, I'll let you in on the secret...

I'm going to make a mechanical yeti! Not only are my friends sure to be freaked out when they see it, but when they get over that, I know they'll be impressed!

I need thick yeti fur from the ice thistle yeti to start with. Will you help? You'll find them to the southeast.

People, read the quest text.

If you killt he yetis *to the southeast of Everlook*, the drop rate is very, very good.

The poor drop rate is from yeti's in areas not specified in the quest. There is no doubt IMO that Blizz purposely lower drop rates if your not in the area they stipulate in the quest description.

South East it says. Pop off to about 66,44 give or take, you have as many yeti's as you need.

Drop rate is about 1 in 5 20% give or take consistently.

Not to mention about 300xp per kill , some skinning if that's your gig.

The real reason to do this quest is because you are an engineer and want the tranquil mechanical yeti. You finish this quest first and then this quest https://classicdb.ch/?quest=8798 appears and you get the recipe. Enjoy!

I have the quest "Are we there yeti?" in my log, which requires me to collect 10 thick yeti furs.

While having this quest, according to my kill log add-on, I killed and looted:

- 2 Rogue Ice Thistles
- 7 Ice Thistle Yetis
- 5 Ice Thistle Patriarchs
- 7 Ice Thistle Matriarchs

And looted no, I repeat NO thick yeti fur.

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

***EDIT FOLLOWS***
Well after killing 30 and not getting any fur, I ran towards Everlook because I wanted to see what would happen if I abandoned the quest and obtained it again, because I thought I was bugged.&nbsp On the way back I saw one and thought, ok last try before I reset the quest.&nbsp Lo and behold, got my first fur!

Final tally (all those kills have been made while having this quest, and I stopped counting after I got my last fur):

Rogue Ice Thistle: 4
Ice Thistle Yeti: 46
Ice Thistle Matriarch: 23
Ice Thistle Patriarch: 18
****Total Ice Thistles killed: 91

That's 9.1 kills per fur...

Like all other quests that have notoriously low drop rates, I found a few techniques apply:&nbsp (1) Pretend you don't want to find the targets or their drops&nbsp (2) Go to different places don't stay in the same place and grind&nbsp (3) Have multiple quests (preferably in different zones) and accomplish only 1/3 of the drops of each quest at a time (4) Always try for mobs that are as much higher than you as you can kill&nbsp (5) Whistle a happy tune!

Followed the quest's instructions and it only took me about 30 mins to get all 10...

Go southeast of Everlook (66,42) and kill only the ones called "Ice Thistle Yeti" (NOT patriarchs or matriarchs). The drop rate was about 1 in 5 for me.

This quest is great for grinding/questing. Don't expect to finish this one quickly due to the low drop rate.

This quest line is plagued by horrid drop rates. These furs drop very rarely, so expect to be killing yetis for a long while to complete both this quest and the one immediately following.

Keep in mind that only Ice Thistle Yeti and Rogue Ice Thistle drop this item! Do not kill either the Patriarchs or the Matriarchs because they don't drop it. There are a lot of Ice Thistle Yeti around 67,44.

I don't know what any of you are talking about?

I had a drop rate of no less than 50%. Clearly you are not hunting the correct mobs. It must be a Ice Thistle Yeti and not a Rouge Ice Thistle, furthermore you need to go to Ice Thistle Hills right outside the cave.

This was a fast and fun quest chain.

56,29, work your way down the hill and back up again. You should be able to complete the quest in about 15 min. Drop rates are 50 percent in your favor. Skin them as well if you are a skinner.

in my opinion you should definetly do this quest, reason being is if u do a quest with a 20 percent drop rate thats just more exp, try around 65,41

There is also a cave at 68,42 full of ice yetis and more tightly packed too so easier to work through. I'm on a PvP server so I did most of the quest in there to avoid ganking, you might want to do the same. :)

Coord: 65,41. The Furs only drop off of "ice thistle yeti" and "rouge yeti". The valley at those coord. outside the cave is crawling with them. There aren't many in the cave.

horrid drop rate.. cleared the whole cave and got 0. managed to get 3 on mobs outside cave.

seemed to have better luck at moon horror den. about 10% drop rate.

best drop rate is with the rogue ice thistles. 50% drop rate. they are found on the main path from felwood

The drop rate is so bad that I dinged 60 before even getting 10. I was about halfway to 60 when I started. Needless to say I dropped the quest cause I no longer needed to do grind quests for xp.

I seems like the drop rate is low for me... But maybe it's because I can't use the spells I'm specced for. As a frost mage, these guys resist about everything. So I have to use totally unspecced Fireball and Scorch. To say the least, killing these things is tedious.

Pretty slow droprate, but on the plus side one of the Ice Thistle Yeti's dropped an Eye of Flame so it's all good. :)

I don't know why everyone is saying it's a horrible drop rate. It's pretty average as compared to other quests. Just make sure you are killing the Ice Thistle Yetis, NOT the Matriarchs or Patriarchs. Those do NOT drop the fur, ONLY the Yetis do. Took me maybe 15 minutes. I got 6 right off the bat, then the other 4 took longer, but it certainly did not take me hours.
