dropped off a Dark Iron Taskmaster for me, spent about 20 minutes farming

Commentaire de Thottbot

Dropped from a darkiron slaver patrol...
Drop rate must be low, only 1 drop from hundreds of darkiron slavers/taskmasters/etc

Commentaire de Thottbot

Kind of low drop rate though.
Took about an hour grinding must have killed 100 or so.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Dropped on the 5th kill (Dark Iron Slaver) then farmed for an hour with no more.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I grinded for about 90 minutes, killed about 50-100 of them, and nothing..... Guess I will have to try again tomorrow.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Dropped 5 in about 1.5 hours. And I was killing all the slaves too.

First two within minutes of each other. One later. Last two were 2 kills apart. I'm only 48 so I'm getting xp at the same time. I'm gonna spend a lot of time there.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I was there for about 45 min and found 2... Does anyone know the drop rate for this recipe? It doesn't seem too steep, but then again I might have just gotten lucky.

Commentaire de Thottbot

and got either 7 or 8.. I forget now. So that puts it around 2%.

I didn't really count but base that on the number of mageweave I listed in AH.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I was out there killing dark irons and had 2 drop in a row, was just questing not out to farm these or anything...

Commentaire de Thottbot

I found my recipe on the second Dark Iron Slaver that I killed. I was able to sheep the undead mage with just enough time to kill the slaver and loot him before the mage killed me.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I got 2 after 16 kills :) one to my alc Char and one to AH, seen it for 100g on Kor'gal :)

Lucky me!

Commentaire de Thottbot

bought one for 15g BO today, if it really does sell for what you say above then i thinks i have a bargain

Commentaire de Thottbot

on my server, they are only selling for like 2-4 gold which sucks because i have 2 of them and it would be nice to have a couple hundred gold

Commentaire de Thottbot

Day ago found this Green Nature Resistance ring that sold for 21g (apparently couldve gotten more) and now I find this recipe, it's just so damn convenient to find these without trying.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I had two of these drop within 10 kills of each-other off the Dark Iron taskmasters and slavers by Thorium Point.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I just grinded the 3 main Dark Iron guys as listed above there in Searing Gordge in the Pit... and whala!

This is pretty easy to get... I didn't stick around to try and get another one because alliance felt it necessary to camp my corpse. Nothing unusual for them.

Anyways... great reciepe for firemages, fire specs, etc.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Yeah - the DI-dwarfs easily drop it. I doubt that the slaves drop it since the patch note give the hint that the dwarfs carry the "secret".

Commentaire de Allakhazam

wow,how high drop chance is it?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Please note that the posts made below me are posted on April 1st.

I can confirm the farming takes about 2-3 hours if you're not so lucky. The recipe is NOT a 1-2% drop, but (far) below that.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

who drops it ? :S

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I've sold a number of these on Frostwolf. They are around a 2-3% drop rate for me, according to MobInfo.

As usual YMMV, as you can run in and kill a few and get one straight away, but if you're farming for more than 1, you should expect to wait a while for the next one.

I've sold a few for 100g each when I first put them on the AH. People are currently paying about 40-50g for them, but the Asian farmers have finally picked up on these so now the prices for materials have gone through the roof.

I would expect the price of these recipes to settle down to 20-40g depending how much people keep farming for them. For my part, they rank about the same drop rate as the greater nature protection potion from WPL.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

A friend and I were doing a quest chain to get a BRD quest and got two of these in a row while just trying to get the daggers from the dwarves.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

just got it on EU Madmortem for 14 Gold, don't know who could possibly be dumb enough to pay 370 for it

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Recipe Dropped on the 3rd kill from a TaskMaster, within 15 mins of server patch reboot, then booted us all and did the 3 hour reload lol.
Our AH has only 2 others with the drop,
1 potion about 6g BO and Stacks of 5 for 30g BO
Recipe itself was set at 99G BO by a person who also had the pots for sale, so I assume that is dbl loot for that person.
I expect the drop rates a nd market values to plateau early.
But Firefin Snapper & FireBloom are now major Gold issues.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

My GF and I just farmed the dwarves while waiting for BWL. About 50 kills in, 2 dropped within 30 seconds of eachother. Far too common of a drop for what people are selling them for, but hey, I won't complain.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I was simply finishing some quests to try to get Thorium Brotherhood Rep up and one of these dropped. I was like Oh, cool.

A few minutes later, ANOTHER one dropped.
"Wow these must have a high drop rate, prolly dont go for much," i thought.

I checked auction house.

30 GOLD APIECE!

WHOA! Didnt expect that =)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Got one within 15 kills.

Selling for 50g on blackhand AH.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Man ppl are so retarded it drops like $%^& i got like 10 in 50mins, and ppl are selling it for 220g on AH, FFS...

I cant belive this i sold everything for 20g I and still its rip off ;)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

lol third mob, i win at farming

Commentaire de Allakhazam

At level 55 I ran around Searing Gorge just killing guys for quests and this dropped. I thought "eh, it's probably some junk recipe."

When I got back to the AH and went to post it, I was surprised at what Auctioneer said I should sell it for. 400g. I brought it down a little lower, because I thought it was some joke posting and figured "hey, if someone wants to buy it for 375, be my guest."

A couple hours later I log onto my bank char to check his mail. The auction sold.

That recipe made me 369g (after ah taxes) and it was just some random drop in SG.

Thanks to that, I bought my epic mount at 56 and now i'm saving up for Lionheart Helm / Titanic Leggins / Other BoE Epics for PvP.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Last night I've been farming for this recipe for over 2 hours and finally I got it! I guess luck is not really with me when I farm...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

i got 2 today killed about 15 task masters:)ah here i come

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Well all I have to say is you guys are very lucky. I'm currently at 2.5 hours (constant farming Dark Iron Dwarf Slavers and Taskmasters with my level 60 mage), in the slag pit and this pattern hasn't dropped yet.

Edited, Wed Mar 29 20:52:39 2006

Commentaire de Allakhazam

This thing will not drop, been farming for over 2 hours in the slag pit and barracks.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I got one on my 11th kill, then killed another 60-80 mobs and nothing.

Weird drop rate.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I saw this in ah and had to find out where it dropped. Wasn't about to pay 90g so I went to SG to try my luck. Got it on the first mob no lie. It was amazing =)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

The info given says its a 0.05% drop chance (306 in 608,627 kills) but the recipe was just introduce in 1.10 and a lot of the kills recorded here were probably pre patch so this isn't accurate by a long shot.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

238 kills and I got 1.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I saw this guy trying to sell this recipe for 30g in general. I though, "Oh. That wasnt to much for that great recipe" and I whispered him and asked if i could get it for 22g. He said ok and sent it in CoD for 22s instead of 22g.
Now he is spamming I'm a ninja in general. Haha.
His mistake, his loss.
Would you guys call me a ninja just because I did not send the recipe/money back to him?
Im pretty known and got good reputation so no one belive that ninja crap anyway.

By the way, I sold Abyssal Plate Legs for 60s instead of 60g 2 days before that happend.. heh, I did not even whisper that guy and ask if he could send it back. I just whispered and said he was a lucky bastard ;)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Already up on the AH here for 70g/85g BO. I'm going to say that's a little high, and just wait for a cheaper one.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

grabbed one in about half an hour of farming

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Really a luck factor in this. Got one now after... 10 kills orso. Still trying my luck now for more :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

As Grimhyde said, this recipe is a recent introduction. The right way to find its drop rate is based on incremental drops over incremental kills, not drops over total kills. I've been watching this for a couple of weeks (since I got two in one trip and sold them for much more than I thought they were worth), and the actual drop rate is around 0.75%. There isn't data to suggest that one mob has a higher drop rate than another; the initial trend was that Taskmaster was slightly higher, but it has been coming down.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

lol
killed 100 of these guys and 5 recipes :P 2 enchants for demonslaying :)) Selling these now allot on Twilight's Hammer

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I dont care how good rep you got or how know you are OR what you lost some days before....

Commentaire de kaynen

All the bragging and no one says where and who drops this. So many years of trolls who should all be down voted for wasting every ones time.

Dark Iron watchmen:
Dark Iron slaver:
Dark Iron Taskmaster: All are in Searing gorge. Level 50 required for recipe to drop (If Lv requirement has changed then say so instead of thumbs down like a newb.)

Reference: https://classicdb.ch/?item=21547

I friggen hate braggers.

From Classic Kaynen thats playing Krithia on Myzrael. (Give shout out and clap if drop eyes on her.)

Enjoy.

Commentaire de Dimiteddy1

To save you the trouble. Its not available yet in classic. Dont farm taskmasters. Phase 5

Commentaire de Bugfinder

Classic AQ PTR
Drop rate is around 3-5%. Very easy and fast to grind as a mage or other AOE class.

Commentaire de musclefollower

It was added already for Phase 5, I just saw one in the AH. 2020-07-28

Commentaire de caffo666

For many months no one gave a #$%^ about these dwarfs. Today after phase 5 release there is absolutely zero spawns and 20+ people trying to farm this. good luck

Commentaire de Tokutenrai

Got 3 of these with a guildy over a 2 hour period.
1 dropped from the Dark Iron Slaver. two from the Dark Iron Taskmasters.

The item isn't terribly rare, i'd say 3-4% drop rate in reality.. we did have most of the cave to ourselves.

For reference on number of kills, I had just under 6 stacks of Mageweave when the first dropped and my Guildy had about 4. The 3rd dropped when i had about 10 stacks, and he 6.

My realm has 9 on AH right now... we used two of them as we are alchemists.

Commentaire de KnightTime

Drops from one more Dark Iron mob, beyond Taskmasters and Slavers.........

Watchmen.

Commentaire de malcherus

With little competition for spawns, it took me 2 hours 43 minutes for a total of 236 kills to finally get the recipe.

Commentaire de Lyariana

I farmed this today, the night after P5 patch dropped. I spent about an hour in the cave with the slavers & taskmasters before it dropped. I didn't tag every mob; I got maybe 2-3 through the whole cave & outside. I also waited until late at night to farm it, when less people would be around.

I ran loops through the cave; entering through the bottom entrance, going round through the gate, then up to the ramp, through the left entry, along the corridor, into the big room and back out the entrance at the top. Remember to go outside as there are a few of these that patrol the crater as well.

From guildies who also have farmed this today, it seems that the drop rate quoted here is fairly accurate (3-5%) and it should drop within an hour or two if you have the place mostly to yourself.

And to quote it in mageweave, i looted 51 pieces of mageweave (2.5 stacks) before the recipe dropped.
