good drop from camels!

Comment by alexiel

This item has a chance to come out of the Crate of Tasty Meat and can be used for a cooking recipe at 425 (Blackened Surprise). It is also used for an Engineering pattern that is similar to a Fish Feast (Goblin Barbecue).

Comment by Vindaloo

The drop rate for ingredients ~20% is very poor compared to northrend ingredients which are around 50%-50% from beasts in the field. Food would be a nice boost leveling but until one is epiced out at 85 and can AoE them down its a hard grind to make a stack of anything. Be nice know why it was implemented this way.

Personally, I found the Stone Bats to be the best source of this. They fly in large packs at a time, so you can kill several easily. Farming anything else feels too slow as there aren't a lot of them around.

Comment by silver78

By far the best place to farm these is from the Stone Bats.

Run #1
15 min
10 flocks of bats, only 5.5k hp of 7 bats downed easily by aoe
21 flesh
33g in trash
3 greens!
------------------------------------
Run #2
12 Min
10 flocks of bats, only 5.5k hp of 7 bats downed easily by aoe

Good Luck Happy hunting

I hate patches.......

Comment by Volundrung

I just killed a group and got none. O.o

Will update on the next group.

Edit:

Yeah, killed 2 groups now and all I'm getting is fangs and green items.

I think it's been removed from these mobs (which would make sense considering they're made from stone.)

Well, think about it. Perhaps the flesh is so toughened that it has the consistency of stone when you bite into it and break your jaws.

Also, I got one from a single flock of bats. It appears they still drop as said above.

Comment by heliconius

Stone Bats have been nerfed,also they were skinnable, not anymore :/

Comment by Verdice

So aside from stone bats, are there any other good places to farm this meat?

I'm thinking of trying the orca in Kelp'thar forest, since Blackfin and the Frenzied Orcas both have a 20% drop rate for the meat. It's definitely no Stone Bat, but we don't have Stone Bats anymore (at least until this bug is fixed).

Edit: I'm actually going to confirm that the Frenzied Orcas are awesome for farming Toughened Flesh. They haven't been nerfed, they're skinnable, and they have an incredible respawn rate. Have fun! :)

Comment by 441106

The stone bats will no longer drop toughened flesh. This was applied in the most recent hotfix (though not listed in the patch notes) and

"confirmed to be an intended change"

by a Blizzard rep. You can check it out on the forums. doesn't make much sense imo, its not like it was 100% drop rate. You actually had to work for it :-(

Comment by 774292

these are much easier to farm from tigers in lost city of tol'vir and you can also farmt hem in the oasis to the west of the lost city in uldum. just from farming savage leather i have reseaved over 600 of them and have nothing to do with them. anyone no if turing them into the food and selling that is more profitable?

Comment by 79973

A general, all-purpose flesh. The Cataclysm version of Chilled Meat. However, Toughened Flesh has fewer uses and drops from fewer mobs.

Comment by Gyaris

Camels in Uldum have a decent drop chance, I was out there and was able to get a stack of meat in about 10-15 minutes.

Comment by 196623

I personally had at least a %50 drop rate from the pacified Hyjal Bearspacified Hyjal Bears in hyjal. Took all of 5 minutes to get a stack of flesh.

Comment by 486737

If you're farming this from Hyjal Stag, be prepared for some frustration because you'll not be the only one farming it. Those freaking annoying Twilight Hunter Trolls kill them too. However, I did notice the Stag dropped the Toughened Flesh an average 1 out of 3 kills. That's my observation and it might be different for others.

Comment by 789885

Best place to farm these are from the Hyjal Stags in Mt. Hyjal. Yes the trolls there do hunt them too but the respawn rate is incredible and if you just kill some of the trolls you won't have to worry about competing against them. I just farmed 80 flesh in about 8 minutes on an 85 boomkin. Just dot and run to the next one.

Comment by 642641

Personally I like to farm the rabid hyenas in Uldum. There are plenty of them and the drop rate is very high.

Wish I'd been leveling cooking when the stone bats weren't hotfixed. :<

Comment by 771700

I was in Twilight Highlands, had to save the female dwarf.

Those worgs dropped them pretty well. Of course probably not a great place since you go in a cave full of orges.

Comment by Okoth

Fair warning: If you're going to farm the bears in Hyjal for the meat, do so before completing the quest chain that regrows the forest. The bears are no longer there once the fires are out, it seems.

Comment by 733706

Tigers in the Lost City of the Tol'vir? Didn't see any in or around the place. And no oasis on the west side either, just a narrow strip of land up to the mountains. I was able to get a decent drop rate further to the west at the Cradle of the Ancients (44, 73) from the shaggy desert coyote, roughly one in three. Watch out for the buzzards in that area they will attack you when you are on your flying mount.

Comment by Esploratore

As for the tigers in lost city of tol'vir, they're very easy to solo-farm, even as a warrior: normal difficulty, there are 2 groups of 5 tigers and an oathsworn elite, and despite of my all but excellent armor the elite hit me for 5,5k, and the tigers for 700-800, so I focused on the elite, and killed the tigers with AoE.

They drop almost always the toughened flesh.

Other good place I found to farm it is, of course, mount hyjal: the stags have a worse drop rate than these tigers, but at least you don't have to reset every time, and that's a thing you can only do five times every hour.

Comment by 724955

I'm finding Hyjal Stag a good source for Toughened Flesh.
Drop rate is around 50%
The Stag re-spawns at a fast rate.

Comment by 909161

If you're farming Toughened Flesh to level up your cooking with Blackened Surprise, my experience has been to farm in Uldum, mainly Marsh Serpent, Rabid Hyena, or Tiger. There are plenty of them, and they have a decent drop and respawn rate. I was able to collect a decent stack of meat inside of 15 - 20 minutes.

Comment by Atora85

So far Ive had a 100% drop on shaggy desert coyotes in Uldum at Cradle of the Ancients....

Comment by 995772

For sure the Rabid Hyenas in Uldum at 67, 51 and 65, 48.5 then head north a tiny ways and get all the Mangy Hyenas around the Obelisk of the Stars- avoid aggroing the Sand Pygmys at obelisk for time sake then once you've completed a full pass around the obelisk, head back to the Rabid Hyenas at the coordinates above.. I went back and forth and collected two stacks in 20 min. no biggie.

EDIT: actually... yes! The Shaggy Desert Coyotes in the Cradle of the Ancients of Uldum were a great place to farm these! the drop rate wasnt 100% as someone here said but it was good- just as good as the hyenas- and the number of coyotes was simply superior to hyenas. Also, the re-spawn time was great! and no sand pygmys to worry about. Definitely farm toughened flesh from the coyotes.

Comment by MustiQue33

Obelisk of the Stars (66,28) is a great place to farm these.
Almost every Mangy Hyena drops these. I farmed about 10-15 minutes and got 25 of them.
They also respawn pretty fast.

Comment by 931280

Toughened Flesh can be skinned in Twilight Highlands from Highland Worg (36% drop rate) and Highland Elk (36% drop rate).

I was trying to get Toughened Flesh for a cooking recipe (used as regents for Blackened Surprise and Goblin Barbecue).

Comment by cephadex

I found the marsh serpents in Uldum to be a good mob for this. There are plenty of them around and the drop rate is good. You come across longstrider gazelles now and again as well, which I found also have a good chance of dropping it.

Comment by 1034993

Confirming Marsh Serpents at the Northern tip of Uldum is an excellent place to farm! near 100% drop rate for me, and I got to help a couple lower lvls with a quest there

Comment by Caman92

Actual drop counts are more accurate. Only drops 50 to 40 percent of the time on most creatures. The trisfal stags aren't even worth it as their drop rate seems to really hover around 30 to 20 percent.

Comment by MABGamer6407

It be more appetizing if the Meat was't green...when it mostly drops off of Red meat pray. And i saw a link saying it drops off Pygmy's..... 0_o

Comment by MoarHeroisms

If you farm Zul'Gurub regularly and your cooking skill is low, you can save this meat from the panther/snake trash (and the Gurubashi Master Chef if you bother) to level you cooking from 425 to 465 through the recipe provided by your trainer.

Comment by MissDot

As of the current patch, 8.3, Camels and Snakes are the best to farm at 120. I really like the area south of Temple of Uldum (west side of the map) around /way 33 31. Once there head south. NOTE: Even when phased to Cata the southern area around Schnottz's Landing, to the south west, will not load mobs correctly.

**Edit - Casters I HIGHLY recommend using melee to kill mobs and NOT instant cast spells. Instant casts will NERF the drop rate.

Comment by Wyler

If you don't mind burning through your instance limit, you can use the Lost City of the Tol'vir to farm these. (I did this after having gone back in time with Zidormi - not sure if it works in current time)

Normal or heroic, it doesn't matter (heroic might yield more loot?) - just kill the two tiger groups right at the entrance, leave-reset-repeat. I got about 50 toughened flesh by the time I hit the instance limit, in 10-15 minutes or so.

You can fish for Lavascale Catfish outside if you want, too.
