Got it on the 5th drop...close to the flock of Elites

Commentaire de Thottbot

oh and BTW I got in my 4th kill :) Fight the ones around 72,52. My last post sounded kinda silly. I was thinking along the lines of something like frost oil (a one time thing that last for x amount of time). One time use item, but enchantment style... It sucks if you get new weapons often though :\

Commentaire de Thottbot

Even though the quest says Elite , the heart drops from the whelps as well as the Bigger elite ones.
I got mine for my rogue from killing whelps about 2 months ago, now im getting ready to get it agian with my hunter.
Guild mates got them from the Whelps also, SO i can conform whelps drop them. Just have to kill then , alot , or get lucky on the first few kills.
Peronsally, unless your going to farm the Dragonscales, heavy and thick leahter, and fire gizzards, this quest isnt worth the time. The fiery enchant is an AOE dmg, and if your in a group, your not going to want that, becuase it will break mezzes/sheeps.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I believe you are the weighing factor in the drop rate.

2 people get the heart instantly, that means you should have to kill approximatly 300+ to find one.

Look at the 0.6 drop rate and think about what I just theorized.

Edit:
I believe 80% of these kills must be from players who do not have or have already done the quest. Therefore killing them will not drop this item and throw off the true drop rate.

I would say the drop rate is approx:
2.3% - 12%.

I'm a 45 Druid and spent the better part of the afternoon and half a level killing Scalding Whelps before the heart dropped. I even killed a few 43 elite dragonkin. Probably killed 200 of these stupid things before it finally dropped at 80,33 off a lvl 43 whelp. The xp is great because you kill so many things, but it seems to me you could get more xp by completing 3 or 4 separate quests in the time you spend completing this one. Unless you get lucky or you just want the reward, don't waste the time. I started to abandon this one, but at some point it became a matter of principle. Hope this helps some folks out there. Good Luck and Have Fun! That's what it is all about anyway, right?

Commentaire de Thottbot

I got the drop after 33 of the non-elites. It was good experience, I'm level 42, and I was getting about 250 experience apiece.

Commentaire de Thottbot

It dropped for me at 78,62 from a lvl 43 whelp. I think sticking closer to the elites is the key.

Commentaire de Thottbot

If you die on this queset its a real ^&*!@, you have to walk all the way back from the other side of the zone.

Commentaire de Thottbot

killed at least 20 of these 44-46 elites so far (thank god for being a warlock) and still no drop

Commentaire de Thottbot

rofl @ warlocks getting this enchant, tell me how the aoe damage works out for ya

Commentaire de Thottbot

Yer gonna hate me :( 3rd small one I killed dropped it.

Commentaire de Thottbot

as a lvl 43 hunter with the fast cat, i was grouped with a 43 mage we killed about 10 eleits and got the drop. it was loads easier in a group to do some killin...fyi skinnere, lots of heavy leather in this area

Commentaire de Thottbot

sorry bout the spelling, kinda tired going on 24 hrs no sleep...stupid job;)
for skinners there is a lot of thick leather in this area

Commentaire de Thottbot

took 2 of us about 45 min killing everything and came off the whelps got myself a pet to :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

I got mine off a Scalding Whelp after killing for about an hour and a half.

Commentaire de Thottbot

I killed about 20 and it dropped just like they said.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Killed alot , on the way down to the elite dragon's.. Then i was waiting , on my pet to get health back , so a Whelp respawned , i killed it , and get the item (:

Cords: 80.82 :)

Commentaire de Thottbot

Me (lvl 41 Pally) and a lvl 42 warrior at the same time got ours at coords at Badlands.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Amazingly got it off the first whelp I killed, so either they improved the drop rate or it's time for me to go buy a lottery ticket

Commentaire de Thottbot

The quest says from a 'still beating' heart. I got it from the 4 kill. This one I looted before the body hit the ground. Someone else can try, but I bet that is it.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Dropped from my 4th kill, around coords 72,57!

Commentaire de Thottbot

My friend was here and did the quest... first blazing emblem drop ( a blue trinket for lvl 38) and then like 6-7 more kills the freaking Q item drops. and that was in like 10 min

Commentaire de Thottbot

32 small ones, 6 big ones and got the drop from one big.

Well worth the time spent.

Except now some freaking idiot named rakettikeiu is CCing me.

Commentaire de Thottbot

Well, I was doing this quest and killed appoximately 12 dragons. Then, I decided to come here to check the drop %. After seeing it's low drop, I checked the comments, and found a suggestion to loot immidiatly after the dragon's death.

So, I did. And, 6 kills later, it dropped. Thats better odds than aroudn 1 in 140 or so.

The thing is, even if this technique doesn't work... It's still worth the trouble to try. It worked for me and many others, and the clues add up.

Try it =)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

In reference to the drop rates, note that the Black Drake's Heart is a quest item. That means that it will only drop for, or be visible to someone who has the quest. Since Scalding Whelps are good for farming if you want Dark Whelpling or small flame sac, it's logical that people have done these mobs without the quests, and it's probably been done a lot, thus horribly skewing the numbers.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

A quest item with such a low drop rate?... This is stupid. I'll prolly end up with a dark whelpling before I get this damn heart!

Commentaire de Allakhazam

...or why you should always read allakhazam first.

Seeing it was a lvl 45 elite quest, I assumed that it must drop off some elite dragons. Prowled in, found the scorched guardians at the back, selected the highest level elite there (44) and attacked. Starfire, Wraith, Moonfire, Faerie Fire, Dire Bear, Demoralising Roar, Bash, Maul Maul Maul Maul, Human, Healing Touch, Faerie Fire, Moonfire, Dire Bear, Demoralising Roar, Bash, Maul Maul Maul Maul die with 1% to go on Dragon. :/

So on my way back as a wisp from the other side of the Badlands I check the site, and find that it doesn't even necessarily drop from them anyway. Rez, select nearest whelp, kill it.... omg, pick up the heart.

That's right, first whelp I kill.

Maybe they've upped the drop rate.....

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Have killed well over 60 with no drop. I am lvl42 rapidly nearing 42 have made around 30K xp so far. But this is trying my patience. (just got it at 79 kills)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

hmm...
the hearth wont drop...

i've had my bags ful 3 times and it still hasn't drop...

stupid idiotic quest...

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Killed about 100 now. reading from my loot. and not a drop.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

just got it on 1st drop ;) ALONG with a dark whelpling.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Woot! Just got it, about my 45-60th kill. Gonna go turn it in and see how it is! =)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Dropped off the second non elite whelp in the zone. quite happy after reading how much troubles others have had.

Dropped at 74 / 58

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I started killing whelps around Lethlor Ravine for about 20 minutes. I leveled to 43 and the next drop after my level up was the heart. But the drop rate is %^&* indeed. :(

Commentaire de Allakhazam

iv been killing those Scalding Whelps for 3 hours now... never drops :/

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I killed like a hundred of these damned things before I got a drop.
I had planed to use the xp from this to help me level, instead, I leveled from grinding them trying to get a drop :/

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I really enjoyed killing thos elites, getting between 996 xp and 1080 per kill, too bad i found it already after about 8 kills or so, my 2nd lvl 43 i found dropped it so on that mob it's a 50% drop for me. Good luck.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

6-13 I killed 2 non elites and got it on the second one :)

Commentaire de Allakhazam

In keeping with the spirit of the quest, I decided to only kill the 43-45 elite Scorched Guardians. I was a 49 warrior and leveled to 50 during the quest. It dropped off the 64th dragonkin and took about an hour and a half.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

well, ive killed about 30-40 of the whelps, and about 5 of the elites...still no dop, however I did get two of the welplings....so am I lucky for getting them, or unlucky for not getting the heart?

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I did find a Dark Whelpling and I still have no heart ! lol

Edited, Sun Nov 13 01:24:43 2005

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Got 2 Dark Whelplings that sell for 70 gold each, no heart still..I usually grind them for 1 hr or so.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Got mine off the 3rd elite scorched guardian i killed

Commentaire de Allakhazam

Based on how much exp I got while doing this quest, and how much per kill... I figure it took me about 30 kills to do this quest.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I killed maybe 20 dragons and drop it ^^

Commentaire de Allakhazam

it does drop off the whelps, I got it after about 15 kills.

Commentaire de Allakhazam

I'm getting tired of killing those welps, they maby give me exp, but they NEVER drop the damn heart. I've been killing them for almost 3 hours now. I'm giving it up.

Commentaire de ViiRuSV

killed 200+ Finally got it.... I want to kill myself (classic wow)

Commentaire de saskiaderksen

Just for people wondering: yes, if it drops it drops for everyone in your party from the same dragon. So you don't have to continue killing more for everyone to get one.

Commentaire de esspressonator

- Badlands (77,62)

Commentaire de nordiano

took me about 80 kill of whelps and 1 hour #$%^ you blizzard

Commentaire de theanj

Party drop - when it drops, it drops for everyone in the group. Don't shy away from grouping.

Commentaire de gildagger

Just did this today ( 11/26/19) . Thought because it said elite you have to kill the elite mobs. Not true. Killed 2 or 3 elites, then tried the lesser dragons. Dropped on 6th or 7th normal one. very easy.

Commentaire de namwhan

Come on Blizzard, a quest item should never be a 1% drop rate... between this, buzzards, and lost fragments.. waste of time.

Commentaire de Khazi

Took about 50-70 kills, so 1.5-2 % droprate seems accurate. (whelps only)
