Digging Through the Ooze

One of the oozes at Ironbeard's Tomb has Sida's bag, retrieve it and bring it back to her in Menethil Harbor.

	Sida's Bag

Description

On my weekly visit to Ironbeard's Tomb I was attacked by dreadful, dripping oozes! Naturally, I panicked.

I threw my bag at one, but it didn't do anything! The ooze just sucked it right up... Luckily, it did give me enough time to get away.

The bad news is that I really need to get the contents of my bag!

I don't know which ooze I threw my bag at; they all looked the same! Ironbeard's Tomb is northeast of here, near Dun Modr. Thank you so much!

I have a funny story to tell about this quest.

On my last server, everybody told me to AVOID this quest because it was such a pain in the neck. And it was. It took me forever to get the stupid bag.

A few months later I migrated to Gnomeregan and "started over from scratch". I realized this morning that I hadn't done any of the Wetlands quests, and there was nobody from the guild on so I decided to load up on them and try to burn through them as fast as possible. After visiting the Greenwarden, I was on my way to assassinate some gnolls when I saw a whelp and remembered that a beloved friend of mine in the guild wanted a whelpling pet, so I spent the next four hours farming whelps.

I got the bag OVER THERE. Like in the 60,40 neighbourhood. NOWHERE NEAR where the quest says to get it from. I was farming whelps when one of the larger oozes jumped on me and I killed it outta self defense and the bag dropped. I just about died laughing.

I found it on the hill close to Greenwarden.
It's at 56,43. But I didn't find it till I killed 6 Black Oozes there.

Anyone saying anything else don't have a clue.

I've done this q 4 times now, this is a random drop. First time I got it after 3 kills. Currently doing the q, and I've got over 100 kills now... :| The thing about higher drop rate behind Green Warden = bull%^&*.

I also believe the bag is just a random drop off any ooze (and NOT the black slimes, if you're killing slimes you're killing the wrong mob even though they look he same). I did this quest 3 times on 3 alts. The first time I did go to the black ooze just south of the Green Warden, and it dropped after a few kills. But it's not alwasys the case. My second time was also a few kills, then a bag drop by the Ironbeard tomb.

My third try, no drop after 50 kills. So I abandon quest and did it again. My second kill by the tomb and the black ooze droped it like it's hot. I believe somehow the bag just doesn't drop, like a glitch or something. Things need to be reloaded or restarted, like abandon quest or log out log in.

I think most of the bad feelings about this quest were from earlier in the game's history. On my first couple of characters, this one quest took more time than any of the others in the Wetlands. However, recently, perhaps in the past year, the drop has come very quickly. I did it again last night and it dropped on my third kill. The time before that I believe it was on my tenth. That's certainly a lot better than the hundred or so it took the first couple of times. I've heard similar reports from my guildmates, so I suspect Blizzard tweaked the drop rate at some point.

Gotta be random... killed two outside the greenwarden and monstruous oozes along the east road like suggested above... nothing happened! Went back to the tomb and killed about 7 and got the bag.

Got mine from one of the Black Oozes right outside of the tomb so you DO NOT have to go inside to get one.

Dunno if this quest got easier... but it dropped on the 3rd kill...

I remember doing it a year ago and it took me like 2 hours to get the bag. This time... 1 minute LMAO!

Good luck!

I think a lot of people do this quest for the bag - I sure did. The trouble is, the drop rate varies, from reading these posts. I killed 30-some black oozes outside the tomb (directions in the posts here were good) and didn't get the bag to drop. After I obliterated all the oozes outside the tomb, I figured I'd kill a crimson ooze that wandered out from inside the tomb, and he dropped the bag. If it weren't for the reward, and the fact that the oozes are one of the easier mobs in the zone to kill, this quest would stink.

Leik! I got it on my first kill!111oneonehundredandeleven

... Raaaandom. I killed about 11 Oozes to get it, including the one where I'd actually (foolishly) followed the instructions to in order to kill that specific Black Ooze, and it's lies. All lies. You may get lucky and get it soon, or you may not and kill hundreds. Sucks, but think of the XP~ ^_^

The ooze you should try and kill is crimson ooze because it has the highest drop rating.........

Dropped on my second black ooze, had even forgotten that I had taken this quest until the little 1/1 popped up on my screen.

Check the around the Black Channel Marsh, that's where I got my drop.

kill ozzes outside the tomb, not inside
it has a bad drop rate, you just gotta keep at it

second try just 10

We literally killed every one outside and inside before getting the bag on the last one (down inside the tomb).&nbsp The only good thing is that it's one of those quests where everyone in the party gets the quest item.

It took me about a half hour to get this drop, solo hunter at 24. It was pretty easy, although you should watch out for the slightly tougher crimson oozes that hangout in the doorway to the tomb.

lol

I've killed, no kidding here, every Ooze at the tomb, including inside and downstairs. Twice. (Two different days, figured I gotta be lucky somtime!) No drop. Also ran around killing them across the road, and north as well. Nothing. Random indeed.

Got so frustrated I dropped the quest.

I remember the first time I did this quest...I must've killed hundres of those slimes before it finally dropped.
This time I was more lucky though, and it dropped after about 5-10 kills.
If you decide to enter the actual tomb - Make sure to clean the closer outside of it first, or you might end up with to many mobs on your back.

BTW, I enjoyed your story Gweedo ;)

I got Sida's bag with the second kill. Which I found amusing, because on an old character, I killed hundreds [or at least what seemed like hundreds] of these mobs, and gave up, because the drop rate was so miserable for me. ..

To find Ironbeard's Tomb take the main road east out of Menethil Bay. When you hit the crossroads heading north toward Dun Modr take that road. On your left side will be an arm of water. As soon as you get past that arm turn left (west) off the road. This dumps you into the tomb area.

The ooze spawn in fair numbers around here. It took a good number of kills to get the bag to drop (took at least 20 kills per, maybe as many as 30). My hunting partner is an herbalist, and she had teh added bonus of finding gravemoss in the graveyard on the west side of the tomb.

The black oozes were 23-24. There is a crimson ooze which lurks in the tomb itself which was level 25.

Ooze did seem to assist each other from a fair distance, so be prepared for adds.

The reward was definitely worth the time -- 2,400 exp, 35 silver and a 10-slot bag, which is currently going for 1 gold or a little more on our server.

Wow, this quest was not a wild goose chase for me. All I did was make my way to the house that was cited in the coords above and there was a slightly reddish-colored ooze inside the tomb entrance. Dropped the bag, no problem.

I posted earlier that this quest was EASY! I apologize. I got mine on the first try...but since helping a friend...he's killed about 20 or so and still hasn't found the bag. It's a random drop people and it can be frustrating! Sorry!

First ooze I came across was Black and dropped it right there..
It was hanging out on the road going east towards the dragon area I believe..
Was lurking near the first piece of wrecked siege equipment i ran into..
