After hearing about the trouble with the drops, I checked the Blizzard Druid forums, and found this thread:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=32338890&postId=592285345&sid=1#19

In the thread, there was a suggestion to re-log, in case the stings weren't dropping for you. I had killed 15 wasps with no drops prior to relogging, and only needed to kill 10 wasps afterwards, to get my 8 stings.

The statistical chance of this being just by coincidence is less than one tenth of a percent.

I would recommend re-logging, just in case it helps, it helped me.

Here is the thread for the post I made about this, on the bug forums:

I have been killing wasps, workers, and reavers at 52,77 and my drop rate has been wonderful. I got all of my stingers in about 25-30 minutes.

Make sure you kill more than just the wasps as the other gorishi mobs drop the stinger as well.

The drop rate on these from Wasps is atrocious. And there's the issue of getting the wasps to actually spawn.

What I found to work better was to go into the Scar tunnels, and kill the Stingers there. Once you get the spawn locations and patrols figured out (easy), you can kinda hang out in one area, kill 5 mobs over and over. They will respawn as tunnellers, reavers, or stingers, and you can fight them without linking anything else, unlike up top.

I hung out right near the entrance, there's a small room to the east with two spawns and a patrolling spawn (it goes up and out, then comes back in to that room). You can kill it halfway down the tunnel. There is a spawn at the first intersection, a spawn just outside, a spawn at the second intersection to the right, and another patrolling spawn. Kill them all, one at a time. If a stinger spawns, great, I was about 1 in 2 for the stinger drop. If a reaver spawns, or a tunneller, kill it, hope a stinger spawns next time.

It seems a bit scarier than killing things up top, but I found it to be actually much, much safer. You won't get jumped so long as you remember when the patroller spawns.

Also be aware of https://classicdb.ch/?spell=8137 - annoying disease that the gorishi's sometimes cast

You should make sure your killing Gorishi Wasps and not Gorishi Stingers, the wasps are weaker and seem to have a much better drop rate on the stings. And as someone mentioned you get the bloodcaps from the Bloodpetal Sprout ground spawns.

Definitely do Pawn&nbsp Captures Queen I looted 4 stings from the Queen.

I'm getting stings from all the bugs, not just wasps. Maybe this changed in the patch, but don't single out the wasps.

/tloc 55,85...around this area where u can find Gorishi Wasp and reaver as well

Whats even worse is that the reavers give this disease that increase physical damage taken by 43% for 30 MINS!

For me,getting the 8 stings was pretty east but i cant seem to find the bloodcap anywhere.....

Bloodcap is picked up from the Blood Petal Sprouts on the ground: http://classicdb.ch/?item=11315
OK droprate picked 18 of them to get the needed 8.

I have been killing the wasps for an hour now... No drops yet...

The Gorishi Stingers tend to be more prevalent inside of the scar (the cave) and are also flying ones like the wasps. Any of the flying ones drop the stingers, but good luck on the drop rate.

They must have fixed the droprates, cause although they weren't great, they weren't as abysmal as suggested in earlier posts. They drop equally well around and inside the Scar. But there are more wasps to be found around the Scar than inside.

One sidebonus to this stupid quest is the fact that the bloodpetal sprouts will be needed for a later (and repeatable) quest...so hold onto them.&nbsp Also use this as a chance to pick up as much soil and crystals as possible as they, too, will be needed later.

I'm not one to complain about the drop rates, but this one SUCKS! I've kill every wasp and stinger outside and in, and have only come upon 2 stingers, this is absolutely the WORST rate I've ever had. The ending reward is so nice, but this rate is uncalled for its that low, GL with this I dropped it.

I had a 60% drop rate inside the cave on the gor stingers...super easy quest and nothing a pain about it.&nbsp Just go inside the cave, easy quest

This quest is all about luck! Some say the Bloodcaps are hard to get others say the Stingers are hard to get. For me is was the same as everyone else, Bloodcaps easy!, Stingers painfully hard! So my only advice... Tough it and realize you will probably be doing the quest a long while, hope for luck and go for the pretty nice reward when you get done with the chain.

Drop rate isnt terrible if you just kill Wasps, These are hard to find though

I killed about 100 of them when will i get one of the items?

I had 70% droprate from the level 52 mobs and only 15% from those at level 51.

The stings were fairly simple at lvl 50.

The hard part has been finding the bloodpetals that have bloodcaps. Gatherer mod helps some but it seems to be about 1 out of 3 bloodpetals that will have a bloodcap.

Edit: 8 bloodcap out of 19 bloodpetals, fyi. Not too terrible.

This quest is no where NEAR as bad as you guys are putting it out to be.. and there is alot more wasps then just 3.. if u guys circle the entire camp of the The Slithering Scar, youll see what i mean. I found this out because I decided to look for more since im not the type of person that likes to sit and just wait.. Im having more trouble finding the Boodcaps... Good Luck :)

The Wasps are all around and inside of the Slithering Scar. You prolly went looking right after the servers came up. I did that too and they were rare because so many druids were farming them. But it's the southern side (center) of Un'goro dead south of the volcano.

Wow, 5 hours of killing bugs and opening egg like plant things for 2 potions and a quest that will make me die when doing it...

I hate this quest

The secret to getting the wasps to spawn is to KILL ALL BUGS. I know there's a temptation to prowl around looking for just the wasps, but when the bug factory sees that a bug has died, it doesn't necissarily replace it with the same kind of bug. Instead, it has an X% chance of making a wasp (and a 100-X% of it being one of the other kinds of bugs). So just run around killing everything you see, and some of them will be wasps.

The drop rate of the stings is something like 1/5 - 1/3.

I suspect the same thing is true about the mushrooms, take the worthless pod along with the mushroom to make new sprouts spawn. Even with a bunch of druids in the area, I found 8 mushrooms from 20 sprouts.

This quest seriously ticked me off. The drop rate is RIDICULOUS! I was doing it for over three hours! I was about ready to throw the laptop across the room. Just... URGH! I don't even know if the quest is worth it, to be honest. I just wanted to SCREAM. Its RIDICULOUS.

Quest took me around 2-3 hours

Wasps were annoying to get 2. Just slaughted everything and they came

heh.

just my luck i was on the last one and 10 wasps were spawned annoys me

oo btw watch out for the Disease Silithid Pox

worst disease ever 41% increased dmg taken.... killed me 2x :(

I may have missed it, but does anyone have coordinates for these lousy things?
Thank you.

I looked for the giant flying wasps for quite some time and never actually found any. Anyone else find them?

I really hate this quest, I need only 2 more mushrooms. Since I've reached 6, i've found about 10 pods that have not given me ONE mushroom.

This is a part of the new Druid quest that was added in patch 1.10 (today).

The first part (which you don't need) is: Torwa Pathfinder

The second part is this one: Bloodpetal Poison
The third part is: Toxic Test (Elite)
The fourth and final part is: A Better Ingredient which is in the Sunken Temple.

The rewards for the final part are:
Grizzled Pelt
Forest's Embrace
Moonshadow Stave

This a bit of a problem for me since I have the Spire of Hakkar and now I don't which staff to use.

The order of the quest-chain are what I find as most probable order, since I so far only have gotten this part :)

The goroshi stings only drop from wasps and stingers and it's 10 and 5% drop chance!

No matter how I look at it, I can't fathom why they would intentionally make certain quests so incredibally tedious. This quest is not challenging. It is not fun. It is nothing but boring. You will kill bugs for hours trying to get the wasps to spawn--and when they spawn, they won't drop stingers. And, yes, it will take three hours--unless you happen to luck out and win the statistical lottery on the spawn and drop rates.

Not sure if the drop rate has been changed recently or something, but this was a very easy quest for me. I killed all the Wasps and Stingers i could find, and only had to kill about 15 total to get them all. Took me maybe 20 mins tops to do.

Maybe im just lucky :P

Furrious (lvl 50 NE feral druid tank) Skywall server

46,75 was where the first Gorishi Sting dropped from a Gorishi Wasp. Need to watch it though because a level 55 elite huge Tyranasaurus patrols by there.

Was killing Gorishi Wasps at The Slithering Scar at 49,79 but none dropped so moved over and got a drop there. Still hunting for more.
