Comentado por Thottbot

Find it after killing a Tangled Horror......After 5 min seraching O_o

Comentado por Thottbot

Man you are so lucky I am still grafting for this thing :(
0.7 max % of getting it is mental... come on Blizz give us a break

Comentado por Thottbot

I grinded the mobs in the NW corner for about an hour and it just wouldn't drop. So I got tired and went sleep, next time I logged in I went back and it dropped from the third mob I killed. I believe if it's taking hours to get an item to drop then it's obviously not time for it to drop, illogical as that may sound. Just go back to it in a few hours, you should have a better chance and less frustration. That's my theory and it's been working for me.

We do not do quests for the XP alone, and we really don't do the quests for most of the items we get after compleation. ( we had better 2 lvls ago anyways) we do quests for the combination of three things...

Experience
Items/Money
Reputation

Not a hard quest just time eater. So after the xp , item you sell to make money , and the rep ... Personally i think every quest is worth it..... Just my opinion though.

HAPPY QUESTING ! !

aloha all
been killin these things for what seems like hours! and this was going to be a quick quest on the way to somewhere else LOL, then you read the Bot and find out its a 0.3-8% drop PMSL
so its back to the swamp and russel up another apocolyps for the swamp things lol.......
if a quests worth doing its worth killing for
have fun and remember there are bigger things than you out there !

Reading all your comments I thought this was going to be a lot of grinding. I headed out to the Misty Valley and killed to Swampwalkers. It dropped off a lvl 38 Swampwalker. So maybe they fixed it..or maybe I'm just uber lucky. ^^

Comentado por Thottbot

After 2 hours of killing at 4:00 in the morning i finaly got it.

Comentado por Thottbot

I've seen several messages above regarding the 0.3 drop rate. You misunderstand.

Thott tracks how often the item drops from a specific type of mob. 0.3% of the time when this mob is killed, this thing drops.

The fallacy is that quest items ONLY drop if you have the quest. Most of the time, these mobs are killed by a passer-by without the quest. It's quite usual to see low reported drop rates for quest items.

Founded it really fast. killed about 5 lvl 40 Swampwalker Elders. took about 3-5 mins

-Good Luck-

Comentado por Thottbot

The dude who lost the essay made a wrong turn when he got into swamp of sorrows. Since Netherguard is south a wrong turn would be North. North in a little ravine is many swampwalkers and tangled horrors, he also states he was surrounded by many, unlike the ones walking around alone outside of Misty valley. Kill them here.

Comentado por Thottbot

lrn to get lucky :) Just turn left immediately upon entering the SoS. There is an alcove with nothing but elementals.

Comentado por Thottbot

Ye very low drop % since I have already got 2 same enchant recipe and still not q item :/

Comentado por Thottbot

one lap around the mist valley and it dropped..
good place if youre an herbalist since a recipie drops and various plants on the elementals

Comentado por Thottbot

Everyone else is right, these things do have a terrible drop rate. I cleared the valley 3 times, killed the lord 3 three times, and finally after about an hour it dropped off a regular swampwalker near the front, not an elder one.

Comentado por Thottbot

I wiped the entire area clean three times, then it finally dtopped. Killed about 30 mobs to do it.

Comentado por Thottbot

See it as grinding. If you were grinding them you would be doing the same thing. Now you're doing it for the quest, not only xp. I'm just going to continue here :P .. i have been here for over an hour and no drop.. but i did fill half my xp bar with 'm

Comentado por Thottbot

This is not a quick quest. As the previous comment stated, filled over half my xp bar with grinding these critters. Lvl 42 Paladin and the drop came the fourth time around the area. Got ot from the Mire Lord in the cave. I think it is worth the time.

Comentado por Thottbot

I ran around here with my 43 lock for about an hour with no luck. I must have cleared it 15 times. Since I found a quest crate in the area I decided to go turn it in to Nethergarde and come back. One the VERY FIRST kill upon returning, I got the book. What an odd drop rate for such an otherwise simple quest.

Comentado por Thottbot

These were a piece3 of cake after reading them and having spent 10 min u feel like it will take forever it felt like i spent 30 min on it but it was really just 10 min. if u get frustrated log off for 3 min geta drink, w/e come back and it shoould come up as long as you persist you can get a drop off any of those elementals

Comentado por Thottbot

Well, i have killed now for like 2 and a half hour.. and it has not dropped YET! omg so tired of theese bug quests..

Comentado por Thottbot

I found Khadgar's Essays in the NW corner just below the two lakes near Misty Valley. I got it after killing only my second Swampwalker. It was a drop.

Comentado por Thottbot

Got the item after roughly 15 kills. Wasn't too hard. Was expecting to be out there a while.

Comentado por Thottbot

I got the thing only on myu hird kill, I'm so lucky. Now I can go ge tthose boots for my rogue!

Comentado por Thottbot

I got it on the 220th drop. Only works at the corner.

Comentado por Allakhazam

For those who don;t know. U need to go to Misty Valley in Swamp of Sorrows. Entrance is 17,40.

Comentado por Allakhazam

i farmed these guys for the essays for about an hour and a half... no drop.

Comentado por Allakhazam

third mob ..muaha

Comentado por Allakhazam

cleared back to the cave (5 or 6 elementals), then got it on the 3rd one I killed on the way back to the entrance of the area

drop rate is listed so low because it's not a commonly done quest

got about 5 greens, too... nice drop rate for them on the elementals

Comentado por Allakhazam

I actually got the item from the third Tangeled Horror monster I killed and they supoosedly have the lowest percentages to drop it. I say just kill everything there from start to finish including the big guy too until you get it. It's totally random.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Good grief! Played from 8:30 till 11:15 and was a hair away from leveling. Finally fell off a swampwalker at the beginning of their small alcove. Oh well! At least I levelled up while I was there!

Comentado por Allakhazam

Very uncommon .
Lots of herbs drop before this does

Comentado por Allakhazam

Dropped on about the 45th elemental. Not too long, really.

Comentado por Midnitte

Not sure if this is something changed in Classic, but I got this on about my 10th kill, so don't let the other comments deter you.

Also don't forget to pick up the Lost Supplies quest from the nearby crates.

Comentado por Truth00

I farmed these guys in the mist valley for about an hour without getting the item.(I did get 2 enchanting herbalism patterns though) Then I killed the mire lord 3 times and it dropped the 3rd time. Also it is important to note the letter is group loot, so if you have others around doing it also, group up to increase your chances!

Comentado por scoolio

I've run this quest twice now in Classic. In both instances it took forever to drop. I think the first time I spent nearly three hours and in the second it was about two hours. Bring lots of bag space, plenty of food, and a ton of patience. This last time it dropped off a swampwalker but omg the RNG is murder.

Comentado por Xertoz

Got this after clearing the entire swamp two times over... Maybe this isn't a 8% drop in classic?

Comentado por dannuzor

For me it work with the log out method, 5 th mob after relog it drop .
So relog and give 10 min of grind .
GOod luck

Comentado por sethelton

I came to this page to check the drop rate since I was having such a hard time finding this item. Cleared misty over 3 times and counting, still no drop! such luck xD

Comentado por Bulevarko

Drop rate about 1% at best

Comentado por Thready

Drop rate is really low; had to kill 14 to get the quest item

Comentado por MEMERMAID

Its been 2 days, I had so huge amount of rested exp that I hit from level 37 and 2 bars, level 38 and 6 bars, stil no drop...
At least I have 2 bags of iron and few stacks of gold ore as compensation of my time
Edit: I leveled 2 levels and got my item

Comentado por Fingers0689

Made an account literally just to voice my frustration about this quest. If I had to estimate, I've killed over 100 so far and still no drop....

Comentado por skullcrasher

Took 3 bars of XP at 41. 1% drop rate?

Comentado por Ozweeplay

Had the area to myself at 5am (finally!) but after 3 hours and over half a level, still no drop. I did manage to level up mining quite a bit (iron nodes spawn every 10 mins or so) and you get about 2g per hour in coin, plus other herbs and random drops. Still, would have loved to have gotten the Essays at some point.

Comentado por striderevale

THIS is the quest that should be called pool of tears. Vanilla original - TBC classic doesn't matter, the drop rate is garbage

Comentado por HanzSolo

I got this second drop at 60.1 45.0. I was doing in Search of the Temple and a Tangled Horror Lumbered by.

Comentado por uriahworld

Got after 5 kills in the Misty Valley area, as a 46 Warlock. Classic Hardcore mode

Comentado por littlesten

Looking at these comments I got lucky.
Misty Valley - Swamp Walkers - 1st drop.

Comentado por Flofufu

Look at droprates in P2 of SoD, don't waste your time on killing anything else than Senhor do Brejo.

Respawn every 2.5-5 minutes (dynamic respawn), in the meantime kill a couple Errante do Pântano for increased chances or grab a couple herbs if your layer is full of druid bots like mine.
Got it after 5th kill, GL.
