Cracking Maury's Foot

Bring Maury's Key to "Sea Wolf" Mackinley in Booty Bay.
Maury's Key

Description

Curses! That swab Maury put a lock on his foot, and I can't open it! His loot's inside the foot, and that's what he owes me!

We need to find the key to open the lock. Maury was known to gamble with the Mosh'Ogg ogres, at their mound to the northeast. And he told me, when he was still alive, that the last time he went to the mound he was chased off after winning too much. Maybe the Ogres there have his key.

But if they do, you might have to kill a load of them to find the right one...

In doing this quest myself (45 Shaman) I have 1 thing to clarify:&nbsp There is not a mob that drops the key 100% of the time (as the percentages show the best drop rate on this particular item are around 5%-6% off level 41-42 Warmongers.&nbsp It took me 17 kills to get mine.

Yeah, I was killing them out in the open, the FIRST mob I killed near the cave dropped it. So if you are having problems, move closer to the cave itself.

Get ready to grind like a madman. Despite my friend being able to nab it after one or two kills, I spent 20 minutes on my level 46 rogue clearing the ogre compound around 6 times, totalling to about 40-ish ogres.

This is best done at around level 45 - 47, as the ogres tend to be easier to kill, as well as continue to give you XP. Makes the grind a bit more bearable.

P.S. Did this quest with patch 2.3, in case you were wondering.

I stuck to the lv 41 elites, were some tough fights but completed this quest solo at lv 42, very doable.

Doesn't matter which ogres you kill whether they're near the cave or not.

Solo'd this as a lvl 41 shadow priest, 1k xp rested per kill. I also managed to solo this as my pala at lvl 42.

Killed about 10 before i got the key.

I did this at level 47 as part of my "finishing swoop of doom" on Stranglethorn's more difficult quests, and found the ogres to be a nice source of easy exp. As I was rested, the level 41 guys gave me 640 exp and the 42 ogres gave me 720, which is nice from something I was felling without too much difficulty.

The quest took me about thirty minutes, including running up to the Mosh'Ogg Ogre mound from BB, and the key dropped from the twenty-something ogre. Got a nice lump of Mageweave from it as well, also some silk and Moonberry juice. Quite a relaxing quest, really. :P

Solo'd as a 46 feral druid..

Took the first warmonger that crossed my path, very easily... key dropped.

Simple as that.

I've killed around 30 elites now and the key doesn/t seem to drop.
I've done this quest with other characters but I think I'll skip it with this one...
Nice XP though, but I think that if I had hit Maury's Foot with my mace as much as I'd hit the ogres, I would have smashed and opened it myself...why bother finding a key?

Was also just about to quit then came on here to see if any particular ogre/area has a better drop rate. Went outside the cave and it dropped off the first lvl42 warmonger I killed :D (had killed about 15before but was getting bored quickly :P )

I can honestly say that completing this quest was one of the most unpleasant experiences I have had playing WoW. I know I killed 50 of these guys during 3 or 4 different attempts. The ogres are elites, which makes them difficult to handle solo unless you're in your upper 40s or higher, and even then they take a good bit out of you. I seriously was going to drop this quest, but I was just stubborn and finally a random ogre dropped the key. I got somewhere around 2000 exp for completing it (it was long green to me) and a shield that is nothing more than vendor trash.

For those who got the key on the first few drops, consider yourselves lucky. For those who haven't yet finished this quest, dump it now and save yourself the aggravation. It's not like there aren't a gazillion other quests out there.

If I am right those ogres have a chance of dropping epic items so having to kill many of them is not bad if you want those items and XP
