Witchwing Talon (8)

Description

The blasted harpies have been ravaging our caravan supplies for too long. It's time we slit a few of their throats and diminished their numbers.

I've been snooping around their nests and figured out who leads who. The most devastating attack will destroy a good section of their lower chain of command and then we can work our way to the top.

I'll start you off slow, take out Witchwing Harpies and Witchwing Roguefeathers in the Northwest and bring me 8 Witchwing talons. That should be a good start...

I have done this quest few times, and its easy when u are 14 +.
If u are new and dont have coords, take a look here to know where they are :) "http://classicdb.ch/?maps=17:396186387182378178366178365165374165386168397170409190406176411165397155408153402135392137392122395102402110387110378124383139384151370149373137"

Alots of them dear, but take cear u dont aggro the others, so the smartest is to clear all up first.
You need to kill Witchwing Harpies and Roguefeathers, notice this.

EDIT: If ur Priest it wud be a little bit harder at lvl 14, so make sure ur doing this quest at 16 or sumthing :)

if your having problems doing this quest...get to 41,17..its on a hillside where there are no spawns...just pull them here..kill..and rest in the same spot..other than the bad drop rate...this is pretty quick and safe.

*edit* its right by a camp of roguefeathers, which have the best drop rate. Also, this area is a great place to AoE grind if your a mage til about 17ish

Horrible drop rate, I'm solo'ing it at level 16, and I'm a rogue. The coordinates are around 41,16. Gl.

Also awards 62.5 Darkspear Tribe reputation. I would assume the same goes for Undercity (and possibly Silvermoon) but I can't verify since I have that on Exalted already.

Watchout for the level 18 Windcallers which patrol around/through the lvl 14-15's!

Every time you get reputation with one branch of your Faction (Ex: Darkspear, Orgrimmar, etc), you get 1/4 of that with all of them.

So since this gives 250 Orgrimmar Reputation, you'll get 62.5 reputation with the Darkspear Trolls, Thunder Bluff, Undercity, and Silvermoon City.

Same goes for Stormwind, Ironforge, Gnomeregan Exiles, and The Exodar.

This rule only counts for your own Faction (Horde or Alliance), and, I believe, the Steamwheedle Cartel.

Be ware, that the roguefeathers use a slowing poison, so it'll be hard to run away

The above coordinates are correct however, even though the quest states that Harpies will drop the talons, Roguefeathers seem to drop them more frequently.

Ya know why complain about the drop rate ya get xp from each kill that help's you gain lvl's yes you gotta kill a bunch of them and yes you may even die alot but quit whining over it the coord's are correct and yes the rougefeather's drop them the best.

ui.worldofwarcraft.net has the most addon's for the game such as map addon's for coord's auto pet feeder's for hunter's and the like :D

The harpies are in the far northwest area of the barrens. The talon drops from any of them, not just the Witchwing Harpies and Withwing Roguefeathers.

Rather easy quest to do. You just need to watch your travels to the location. Lots of 16+ mobs running around that will agro you.

Result:
You gain 1050 experience.
Your reputation with Orgrimmar has increased.

No coords needed here. It's a large territory they live in so cords would somehow be wrong.
It's the most northwestern part of barrens.

Around 20% drop rate appears to be correct. There's tons and tons of harpies though, all grouped together, so you can run through them pretty quickly. And the groups are spaced out pretty well so you don't run into problems with respawns behind you.

Careful though, as there is a level 18 that patrols around the area - caused me some problems as I was 14 when I was doing this quest and he snuck up behind me.

I had no trouble doing this quest on a lvl 14 shaman.
The drop rate is not as bad as they make it seem.. I got it once every two kills.
These harpys are located Top left corner of "The barrens".

-Good luck. : D
