Hunt the Savages

Huntsman Markhor at Revantusk Village in the Hinterlands wants you to kill 20 Savage Owlbeasts. Return to him once the task is complete.

Markhor mentioned that the Savage Owlbeasts occupy the wilds of the Hinterlands.
  •  
Savage Owlbeast slain (20)

Description

Among the more ornery of the wildlife of the Hinterlands are the savage owlbeasts. Many a good Revantusk warrior has been lost to the ferocious claws and beak of the beasts.

Kill every savage owlbeast you see, <race>. Return to me when you can stand no more bloodshed. Your contribution will then be weighed, measured, and judged.

The Owlbeast share their spawns with the Silvermane Stalkers. So if you can´t find any Savage Owlbeasts just kill more Stalkers.

The tricky thing about this quest, is that the wolves and the savages share the same spawnpoints.

Ie. if u kill a wolf, a savage will spawn

Either that or the savages just felt like spawning at the time i started mutilating wolves

I found most of them at 56:53 (North of Altar of Zul) and the easiest way of getting them to spawn is to kill the Silvermane Stalkers. If you don't kill the Silvermane Stalkers there will be no more spawns as far as I know.
I'm also pretty sure that it doesn't effect the spawn if it's day or night.

I agree with Treigzak (see above). After hours of trying to find owlbeasts, I decided t give up and look around on Anonymous for answers.

After seeing Treigzak's post, I decided to kill some wolves to see if they had the same spawn points. in fact, they HAD.
After killing around.. 10 wolves, owlbeasts started to appear.

so.. the lack of owlbeasts is probably due to people skirting around them to find and kill the owl beasts

talk about huntng the owlbeast to extinction >.>

Well, while taking more than 15 minutes, this quest isn't that hard either. I did it while doing:

Avenging the Fallen: https://classicdb.ch/?quest=7830
Stalking the Stalker: https://classicdb.ch/?quest=7828

As the mobs needed spawn around, so you can do those 3 quests together :)

Reading the previous posters' advice, I set out looking for these Savage Owlbeasts.&nbsp Found about 3 at the lake North of Jintha'Alor at the little hill just north of the road.

I tried wandering around Skulk Rock and thus far have found 12.&nbsp Grind the stretch of land starting at Skulk Rock going directly South to the mountain range separating The Altar of Zul (Ghostbusters much?) from Jintha'Alor.&nbsp I have found mobs of 5 of these things there.&nbsp Respawn time is atrocious though.&nbsp At least 5 minutes.

By Flinxsl on 07/28/2007 (Patch 2.1.3)
if it looks like there are more/less of them, it is because of the shared spawn with the stalkers near skulk rock. just grind all of the wolfs/wildkin in the area and you will find plenty.

also i combined this quest with

I found these spawned directly south of Skulk Rock (around 59,54). As has been said above, they seemed to spawn in better numbers at night, so if you're going to do this quest, I'd suggest doing it after dinner!

This can be done with Natural Materials (a major part of it), Testing the Vessel, Stalking the Stalkers, and Avenging the Fallen.

i have to disagree with the time frame for the spawns. i did this quest in the middle of the day during my lunch break and was finished in about 20 minutes. they are the the above mentioned areas though.

Am I the only one who noticed that these guys are REALLY rare? I found about 3 or 4 in a clump up near the troll villages in the NE but otherwise I only see the other owlbeasts.

Everyone, I tried to do this quest doing the day time on Bonechewer and the Savage Owlbeast barely spawned. But then I came back during night time on my server and they were all over the place. GI guess it's only logical that since they are owls they would be nocturnal.

Just to let you guys know, incase someone is still having trouble with this quest. KILL the stalkers, then the savages will respawn. Just run around and kill the invisible stalkers to get the savages to come out and play :D not that difficult. Hope that eased some frustration.

Did this during the day, no problem.

Admittedly I did go to the same area twice but they had respawned from the fiirst time round.

Didnt take longer than 20 mins to get all 20.

Most of them are at 63, 50. I also listened to the song by Paul Stanely - Live to Win(as seen on South Park), so the grinding went preaty fast... Live to win, till you die till the light dies your eyes! ^^

You should head for co-ords 54,51 which is a little southwest of skull rock, just across the path, and just basically wander around that area killing any savage owlbeast you see.

Yep, as said before: Pick an area where stalkers/beasts spawn, grind on stalkers within the area. The Owlbeasts will start to spawn soon enough, keep grinding. Remember to keep killing the stalkers even after you see the beasts because it'll help in the long run.

Using tracking humanoids as a hunter or druid really helps too as you can see them right as they spawn.

I wouldn't trust the sceptic above. If you take the path from SKULK ROCK on your map and follow it east, you'll easily find Savage Owlbeasts north and south of it, should take about 15 minutes to complete at 49.

There are alot on each side of the road from Skulk Rock (57,40) to the other side of the road, by the mountains from 53,53 - 57,51.

I did not have any problem with this quest at all!
