You will have the grey bear tongues long before you will have the Ichor, unless you are really lucky. This quest is notorious for taking hours to complete just because of the ichor.

After messing with the creepers for a bit, I found a Creepthess which was a little S of the road by the Hillsbrad fields 39,53. He dropped the echor two times i found him. Its easy to spot because its Grey not Green.

The Ichor can be a very rare drop. Just give it time though. At least if grouped you all can share it.

If you plan on doing this quest, be mentally prepared to spend a long time on it. The spider ichor can take many many kills for it to drop. I do not suggest doing this quest at any level less than 26 because of the large amount of experience you will potentially gain from killing spiders.

For every level there are probably at least a dozen or more quests that are in green. They will turn grey when you go up a level, and that many more yellow ones will turn green. If you do this quest at less than level 26, you could potentially gain more than a half of an entire level, thus ruining your opportunity to do more quests at your level and every level above it. This, in turn, has a ripple effect for each successive level, decraesing the amount of reputation and experience you gain from completing quests.

If your idea of play is to kill monsters for experience rather than completing quests, then go right ahead, this quest is meant for you. If your idea of play is to complete quests for experience and reputation, then hold off on this one until you are at least 26.

After completing this one, my level 26 troll priest became honored with Undercity.

On a side note, I had to laugh at the reward of 1 silver 50 copper. The spider parts I gathered while doing this sold to the vendor for over 60 silver, not to mention the 3 pieces of spider's silk that is worth well over 1 gold.

I finally found my piece of ichor after farming a good 4hrs.

I Found my spider at 63,34 North of the bridge

well reading the other comments it seems to me that Ichor is impossibly hard to get and bear tongues easy. however. i killed 1 spider and got the ichor just west of the pond and have spent around 1 hour killling bears and got 2 tongues.

Edit: It does seem like some others said that lv22 bears have a higher drop rate

i set out east from tarren mill and crossed the river. the bears and spiders there are a bit higher level. they range from 24-26. The exp seems somewhat slow but i guess if you are there long enough it will add up. Maybe i got lucky but i got the ichor in about 45 minutes. I have heard of it taking upwards of 2 hours for some folks.

My tip would be, to cross the eastern river ( the one with the Snapjaws in it ) and kill the mobs level 24 - 26. The first creeper i saw and killed there dropped the ichor. The bear tongues also dropped more frequently.

I would suggest this for any quest of this nature - where the task is to kill one type of creature (wolves, bears, spiders etc) - to move on and find a higher levelled creature of that type. The drop rate is usually higher.

This worked for me, anyway. Hope it helps

What you want are the Giant Moss Creepers, that hang out south of Tarren Mills, but north of the Bridge, on both sides of the river.&nbsp The Lesser Moss Creepers just west and southwest of town NEVER seem to drop it.

After slaughtering bears, spiders, and lions for nearly three hours, I got only 1 lion blood.

I tried killing grey bears (level 21-22) and elder(?) greys (24-26) without a single tongue dropping. For spiders, I killed creepers ranging from level 20-27 without a drop. For lions (not this quest but the same guy, I got one blood to drop from a starving (level 23) lion. The ferals (26-27) did not drop any in about 15 kills.

I am tempted to give up this quest series ...

This is an extremely annoying, and time consuming quest. I was grinding for the items for so long I leveled up twice while grinding. I had started as a level 22 and finished the quest as a level 24. Extremely ridiculus.

It dropped for me on my second spider farming session off of a lvl 25 Giant Moss Creeper.&nbsp A good place to farm is 68,55 Hillsbrad Foothills. Good luck!

ya i was trying for the stuf and i found it by the bridge second try

Yup, farmed for and hour or 2.&nbsp &nbsp tongues were pretty consistant.&nbsp &nbsp the ichor dropped after i killed a six around the bridge.&nbsp

ok ya i spent a good our looking for the inchor must have killed 40 of em&nbsp then went to the bridge first try got it

got my ichor by the bridge and the bears around drop at good rate.

I actually got my ichor before i got 10 tongues...kinda creepy

I was disappointed when I turned in this quest. Then I did the follow-up and said, "Oh, nevermind.."

This one by itself sucks, the XP is in the 60 or more MOB's you have to kill to get it all. But on a bright note, the next quest in the line requires a whole turning around and talking to a frog for 1750

Farmed the Vicious Grey Bears for about 20 minutes to get the Carcasses, farmed the Spiders for about 30 minutes, went to town to sell the stuff, went back out and got it on my first kill.

pretty much in line with what everyone else said, I got the drops from the bears relatively fast, about 1 out of 3 had the item. Then i spent forever trying to find the ichor. Still looking....... Although, not a waste of time because the loot is nice and still getting exp for the kills

Edited, Mon Jan 23 22:52:12 2006

solo'd as a level 20 mage, all of the mobs are right there by TM, easy but took forever...i could never get the drop from those gray bears...

After killing spiders for 1 hr after getting bear tongue # 10, I looked here for help, left Tarren Mill south, and the first spider I saw, on the top of the mound near the little pond, dropped the Ichor.

I've been killing bears and spiders for 2 days now (seriously, hours!)... and it's a problem because I'm getting ganked about 3 times an hour. I hope this quest is worth it. I've already gotten the bear tongues, it's the ichor I'm still waiting for.I'm definitely going to level doing it! :P

Drop rate good for me at 27.72, elder moss creeper. Took two kills.
Drop rate good for me at 36.30 to 43.40, elder and viscious moss creeper. Took ten minutes.

Killed dozens of creepers around tarren mill, no drop.

Killed one Elder moss creeper southeast of Durnholde Keep, dropped the Ichor.

Coincidence? Probably...=)

Mine dropped after 1.5 WHOLE LEVELS AT 58,26
Most Stupid Quest I have run across

The ichor is on bears ?

on the plus side, you can get alot of loot to sell.

Took me the guts of 2 hours. I lvl'd from to 26 while doing it. Pissed me off completely. I was about to abandon it when I said i'd give it one more try. Kept thinking... this'll be the one, this'll be the one. Eventually got it up by the wall south of TM. I'm heading back to Stonetalon...

58,26

While doing this quest I was attacked by a couple of worthless humans 3 lvls above me. I guess they should have noticed the big glowing axe in my green hands because I handed them their ___ on a platter. I love this zone.....

Grinding quests are the best dont stress out do something else for a while then come back to it.

Got mine after 6 spider kills....try killin mobs that are yellow not green....it seemd to me it increases the drop rate. Anyway good luck all

Jeez, I just looked over this thread. I'm a johnny-come-lately to WoW as of March 2006. And this ichor stuff has been a pain in the posterior in the past as well? I just spent two hours killing bears, starving mountain lions, and creepers, and I'm STILL looking for ONE LOUSY ICHOR DROP! The bear tongues weren't too bad, probably 1 drop out of every 3 kills or so the lions were worse, about 1 in 5 or worse but good gawd, I was beginning to think I was in the wrong place for the ichor. The lady warned the stuff was very rare, but this is getting friggin' ridiculous. My target is the creepers just south of the village, right?

wow. this quest really sucks. ive got all my bear tounges, no ichor after an hr of creeper killing. i have only 4 lion blood things after another hour of mountain lion killing. they really need to fix this quest and how much xp it gives. GG.

This quest is making me crazy…
Although I did loot Gargoyle's Bite
from one of the bears neat Tarren Mill… But, my quest is showing complete in the quest log… When I go to turn it in he has the question mark above his head, but he will not let me complete the quest.. I look at my inventory and I only have 9 gray bear tongues but the quest log shows 10.. I deleted all the quest items and abandoned the quest and then did it all over again.. No good… When I abandon the quest and then accept the quest right off the bat it says I have 1 of 10 tongues… Anyone else get his issue?
