This can be easily Soloed as a Hunter. Not sure why it doesn't have the other mobs, but all of the Blue Elite Drakonids in Winterspring have a chance to drop it. Droprate is rather low, but you might get lucky and not have to pay 300+ some Gold or wait on a raid on ol Azuregos.

Commento di 9379

Your looking at apx 0.1% drop chance. If your in a friendly guild who like to farm together, take 2 friends down and make sure one is a skinner, as quite a lot of money can be made from coin drops also, more than 3 people would limit the profit, and may make some people think they wasting their time

Commento di 65267

Might have a low drop rate, but while farming blue dragonscales this evening, two dropped for me.

Commento di 60508

What dose it do ??

Commento di theonlyalterego

lvl80 BM hunter, solo'd Azuregos easily. You do not have to have the quest related to this item for it to drop, you can kill the dragon get the drop and the get the quest from the Molten Core drop.

Commento di Foxclaw

Soloed as an 80 Enhance Shammy

Just Took forever.. bout 15 min.. blew wolves at least 4 times and BL twice.

Dropped 2 epics + Blue Sinew + 3 BoE Blues + 2 Pats + 3 Green Randoms and 137g

Nice bit of change for a little work. Better than any daily

Commento di martinu

To all those above saying "soloed blabla" : you cannot kill an item! go post on azuregos, not on the blue dragon sinew.

Commento di 202879

Just had this drop from a Cobalt Wrymkin at Mazthoril area, wasn't sure what I was suppose to do with it and if it is still a sort after prize. Will try selling on the AH as a DK doesn't need it that I know of.

Commento di RedwoodElf

Note that this is now basically worthless. Since ammo pouches and quivers got nerfed, they're just bags with a particularly lame limitation on what can go into them and no bonus. I'd rather have a 20 slot normal bag, than an 18 slot "quiver"

If you downrate this comment, please post a REASON why anyone would want to go through all of this for a quiver that has no bonus other than wasting a bag slot when ammo now stacks to 1000.

Commento di 499455

Got a hunter friend who is just recently doing this questline because she wants to have the staff, bow, and quiver. She won't ever use them, unless it's for a fun time in a place of nostalgia, but she'll have them. And she'll feel proud for having gotten them. Like anyone should for doing something like this.

Well I'm one of those obsesives who is trying to have some unique or hard to gather items, achievements, all tailoring, enchanting and leatherworking recipes etc.. This item, for instance, has an antique value for me and the only reason that would make me keep this item or the reward of this item is the joy of having a rare item like this.

Another reason may be the level locking system.. I've locked my first char in game, a 3 years old lvl 60 hunter, which I'm planing to join to an old school raiding guild and have fun.. So spesificly this item may be a good choice for me.. (Never like bows as a dwarf hunter but I'm trying to give the perspective^^) I wouldn't like some TBC lvl 60 items to taint my lvl 60 hunter.. He belongs to classic WoW and should benefit from the classic WoW items as much as possible..

Commento di 37999

I got the sinew after killing maybe 50 elites. They're old, lowbie elites too, so they're easy enough to take out at 60 with Outland gear. I think they may have raised the drop rate on the non-bosses since the change to Onyxia (who drops the black sinew).

Commento di 17627

I'm not sure if it's the same with this item, but if you have , then Tendine di Drago Nero Adulto has an 100% drop chance, if you kill a Black Dragon, and it doesn't have to be Onyxia

Can someone clarify if it's the same here?

Commento di 17627

Confirmed, just tried myself, doesn't work like Tendine di Drago Nero Adulto

Commento di 441972

Azuregos has now been changed into a neutral ghost in preparation for the Cataclysm.

:(

You can no longer obtain the dragon sinew from him. It appears that the only way to obtain it now is to kill the elites in Winterspring.

Commento di Wh1spY

YES, finally got mine, decided to farm the mobs instead of waiting for the boss to spawn.
Tog about 40mins for mine to drop.

Commento di AyaJulia

It's worth noting that despite the Whelps/Broodlings/Spell Eaters not dropping this, they do take up shared spawn points with the mobs that DO drop it. If you roll through the cave killing only the elites, you'll find more and more non-elites on each pass. Do clear them all. :)

Commento di IcedInferno

Were you able to find it recently? I know it doesn't show the enemies as being able to drop the sinew, as the black dragons did with the black sinew! I was afraid maybe the patch messed it up so it couldn't drop anymore! An hour of killing, 5 Robe of Winter Night patterns, 4 Greater Arcane Prot Potion recipes, an Assassination Blade and a Hanzo Sword later and I still didn't have my sinew :(

Commento di 601993

Got mine today after about two hours farming. Turned it in for a new 24 slot bag/quiver! Hope Cat has some new hunter quests I kinda missed out on doing these at the correct level...

Commento di kylector

I farmed for about 15 minutes in the cave in Winterspring and got this from an elite.

Commento di Bmxrandi

I am farming this since level 75 in that freaking cave. every day around 1 hour. Now I am level 80, my lowest item level in slot gear is 264, already got Volontà dell'Araldo della Morte,
already done Esploratore universale
Since level 80 I am killing the freaking blue mobs.
Since I started making some calculations made about 974 gold just in looted coins,
2x Assalitore Frenetico
4x Lama dell'Assassinio
lots of Acquamarina and Rubino Stellato
2x Zaino del Viaggiatore
TONS OF Modello: Tonaca della Notte Invernale and Ricetta: Pozione Superiore della Difesa dall'Arcano

more than 48 hours of farming

Nothing about Tendine di Drago Blu Adulto

Commento di Bmxrandi

Just a warn to 60% of the unlucky hunters around the world

And you can see in my other post here, I have farmed a lot, almost made the 5k gold achiev there.
My calculations tells me that I have farmed 2768 gold 67 silver and 13 cooper in gold looted + sell everything in VENDOR while I was farming the winterspring caver in a deep search of Tendine di Drago Blu Adulto

TODAY I GOT MY HUNTER ITEM
I waited and waited.. and Azuregos finally has spawned. So I soloed with a Boar and BM spec, done one MD to pet, and 1 Mend pet (wasn't really necessary)

So if you were unlucky as me, just wait for the spawn of the Azuregos, don't be silly as me, Azuregos just yell to Azshara while he is under attack. While he his pathing around hes quite. Turn on your Track Dragonkin ability and run around the spawn zone.

Best of luck

Randi

Commento di Lindentree

With Azuregos removed as a killable mob in Cataclysm, but the quest for the lamina still present in the game, does anyone know if there's a new blue dragon we can kill for a higher-than-1% drop on this?

Farming in Winterspring is becoming tedious.

Commento di 465890

Hm, atm I find this item confusing, does it have any value anymore, can one still complete the quest ?

If one can still pick up the quest after The Shattering, and the Mature Blue Dragon Sinew does not drop anymore, the value has increased tremendously.

I've seen some in the pricerange of 3000-9000g on AH, but I think that is just wishful thinking.

As of patch 4.0.3a, having these old world epic hunter items gave no achievement nor a FoS....maybe in Cata?

Commento di 397420

can anyone just give usefull information & tell us
wether it's possible to complete the quests & where to start
nobody needs to know u'r one of the lucky that got a drop
it doesn't really help at all

Commento di 869484

As of this date the quests for the bow, staff, and quiver are removed from the game. I still have the petrified bark (which is no longer in wowhead's database) and the mature blue sinew from azuregos. :( looks like they arent available anymore. I just talked to a gm and he/she said it was removed.

Commento di 465890

There might be a solution to this. Let me highlight that: might.

That is, if the first quest can be shared.
I would ask a GM if this is possible, before you start spaming trade. 9/10 accounts have a hunter, chances are someone has an old lvl 60(from vanilla) Hunter; and maybe with the first quest?

The only reason I post this, is I remember vaguely an old TBC quest-line I had not done before it was removed. A guildy of mine had the first quest in his log and could share it with me, after the entire quest-line was removed/no longer possible to get from quest giver, and I could do this quest line (long after it was removed). Sry, can't remember which quest line it was.

Btw: This item is still purple/epic......and has the same tooltip as listed above here on wowhead:

"Mature Blue Dragon Sinew
Unique
Requires Level 60
Item Level 71"

Commento di Thottbot

This drops from Azure, the blue dragon. i Got it 2 days ago. When doing the huter epic quest, this is the item which makes the epic hunter quiver. The onyxia sinew is used for making the bow string. The last item u need is the ancient petrified leaf from Majordomo executus in Molten Core. It drops from his chest.
With this leaf u proceed to felwood, get the quest form the trees to A) kill 4 demons to get the staff B) Get onyxia's black sinew for bow string, C) Get blue sinew from Azuregos for the quiver.

Presently, i am trying to get the leaf to drop from MC.
U can have 4 paladins in ur group at the time that u fight the bosses, for their auras. As long s they dont do anything during the fight, their auras, buffs and potions of all sorts should b used and the fights are relatively easy if u know how to exploit their weaknesses.
Get potions of EVERY kind (especially demonslaying) and get every kind of druid/priest/paladin buff before u fight them. good luck!

Commento di Thottbot

Dropped for me by a "normal" elite dragonkin at winterspring.. i think they can drop from them since the patch has been released ;P

Commento di Thottbot

been at it for about a week so far. Farming Manaclaw plus 8 or 9 spawn points around him (back towards the entrance). Made about 50 gold so far off of vendor sales, and 12 stacks of Rugged Armor Kits.

That's a lot of dead dragons and no sinew yet =(

Commento di Thottbot

Luckily got it with few hours of farming the elite dragons outside of the cave.

Commento di Thottbot

it took me 244 mobs before i finally got one. From a mageweaver blue dragonkin in winterspring.

I got a green every 10tth - 15th kill or so, robe of winternight recipe thats BOP ffs and im no tailor, some grey crap, mana pots, healing pots

cool to grind here as a frost mage, but took me hell of a long time lol

Commento di Thottbot

I was farming the elit dragons in Winterspring 'cause of the Patter of Winternight, and i was only killing them for 40 mins, and it dropped.. I didnt stop farming and i got another Pattern of Winternight, a Greater Arcane Protection Potion recipe, and this epic Mature.. :DD Maybe i was SOOO lucky? :P

01.06.2007 on Bloodscalp

Commento di Thottbot

Is there any difference on the loots on the inside or outside of cave. I've been farming outside the cave for the sinew for a while now still no drop.. maybe if I moved inside would I be getting better drops?

Commento di Thottbot

I have been hunting these dragons for 3 days now and still no drop. Can anyone confirm this still drops from these dragons? Is it a better drop rate inside the cave?

Commento di Thottbot

Where Is the Guy YOu Turn This Into At?

Commento di Thottbot

Yes! You'll have better luck inside the cave.

Commento di Thottbot

The Worg Hide Quiver (purchased after being honored with Kurenai) has 18 slots and also increases ranged attack speed by 15%. It's for level 68, and can be purchased from the Kurenai quartermaster for a few gold.

Better yet, the Knothide Quiver is for level 60 and has 20 slots in addition to the 15% increase in ranged attack speed. Knothide Quivers can be crafted by high level leatherworkers.

Personally, I'd never pay 100g+ for one piece of sinew used to craft an equivalent (or lesser) quiver.

Commento di Thottbot

I just picked up one of these from a Cobalt Scalebane in Mazorthil! It says 0.0% chance of drop from these, but I guess that is not accurate! It was a nice surprise....

Commento di Thottbot

I'm a paladin, I have no use for this, so I did chuckle when it dropped off the first elite I killed which was merely in my way.

It just goes to show that no matter how much you think you're lucky, the luck isn't always needed.

I just hope it sells/I can use it somehow.

Commento di Thottbot

While fighting as a lvl 61 prot warrior, i went and killed sum mobs, and this dropped on like the 50th kill... outside the cave from a Cobalt Wyrmkin. Lucky me! :P

Commento di Thottbot

Normal story, Bored and exploring...wanted to see wut was in the cave since I couldn't when I was questing here. 2nd elite this fell. It's nice that thottbot can tell us wut it's for since most of this stuff is "antique" now.

It's more of a status symbol now if you also have Rhok.

Commento di Allakhazam

Blizzard has been saying that these quest items are supposed to be world drops(a physical item appears by the corpse that anyone can click on) so you dont have to be in the raid that kills him to get the item, but they obviously screwed that up...

Commento di Allakhazam

I got this today on my paladin, took me about 40 mins for it to drop, I only had the idea to farm it, was because of a guild member offered to trade it for libram of protection (worth 400g).
So as soon as he comes online i'll get it.
I put it in the bank at the moment, and gone to farm another one, for another guildie, he offered 250g for it =), i'm in the money business.

Edited, Thu Feb 2 10:33:11 2006

Commento di Allakhazam

I consider myself extremly lucky.
I just had this drop for me aswell. been killing them for 3 hours.
Just tagged this mob before the horde hunter did and it dropped for me.
While i was farming there i found 2 robe of wintersnight patterns.
So i also have that on my mage now :D

Damn i'm so happy.

This worked out better then farming for the crusader enchant :P that cost me over 1.5 month to get it.

Commento di Allakhazam

Dropped off of one of the cobalt scalebanes, should update that it does drop off them.

Commento di Allakhazam

I farmed for 23 days to get this drop...it was rather ungodly...but i ended up making about 1300 gold during this time. Some days 4-5 hours and some days more...I know I could have bought this thing but I am a cheap somebody :)

Edited, Mon Nov 21 15:50:22 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

I went ahead and farmed this because, well, I do love me some purple. That and grinding AV rep held no appeal to me. Anyway, long story short it was on the 774th kill that I get my drop (right before an MC run, a good day all around). Anyway, I thought I'd help with some of the math behind the likelihood of this dropping to keep people's spirt up.

Note: This technique will work for any drop. I post here because this thread (and the disparity between farming for 3 minutes vs. 3 months) confused me somewhat.

The chance that this thing will drop is about 0.1% , which is to say 1/1000 (0.001). This means the the chance of it NOT dropping is 100% - 99.9% (0.999).

From statistcs we know that if you have two consecutive events you can find the likelihood of both events happening by multiplying the chance for each individual event together. Thus the likelihood of NOT getting the sinew after killing two dragons is (0.999)*(0.999)=0.998. In other words after two dragons you're not very likely to have picked it up.

We can generalize this to the likliehood of recieving the item after N dragons: (0.999)*(0.999)*...*(0.999)=(0.999)^N. Now let's pick a reasonable likelihood to shoot for, like 50%. So the number of dragons you need to kill for your likelihood of NOT getting your sinew to equal your chance of getting your sinew will be the value of N that satisfies: 0.5=(0.999)^N. Employing logarithms we can solve for N and we find our answer to be 693 dragons. So it took me a little longer than I expected to get it, but not to far off.

Now one should note that this doesn't mean that when you kill 693 dragons that you have a 50/50 chance of it dropping, it only means that after 693 dragons the likelihood of your NOT having recieved your sinew is equal to the likelihood of your having recieved your sinew.

Hope this helps someone out there optimize their time and lower frustrations.

Commento di Allakhazam

Mine dropped after 3 weeks and over 3,000 dragons.

Don't go in thinking this will be easy.

I was farming for Guardian stones in un'goro, they were camped out so I went to winterspring, killed about 6 of them and it actually dropped, I was shocked to say the least. They sell for about 700g on my server, going to see if I can get that much.

Commento di Allakhazam

Long time ago when these still sold for 600g me and a few friends would farm the winterspring dragons for the drop... If we were lucky we got around 2-3 for a days farming... And today i got boored from being in outlands i went back to winterspring to do some old fun filled grinding and after i killed 4 mobs it droppped =D 10 mobs later it dropped again, to bad its not worth more then 30g on ah =/

Commento di Allakhazam

lol drops 1 out of 13k kills of blue dragons.... they had my hopes up that i could actually farm for it... Y_Y

Commento di Allakhazam

Do u need the quest to get the drop? i'm guessing no, since they are gettign sold on AH

Commento di Allakhazam

HOW do you people find these things? I've farmed EVERY day for the past one-two months and the most I found/got was a Dwarven Hand Cannon, a blue pattern (BoP), BILLIONS of expensive patterns, and 500g. And now I'm hearing stories of (not only on this site either) people getting their sinew after a few mobs/minutes/hours/days. Or even on their first mob! Well, more farming tomorrow I guess. But I will NOT buy one! I stand by my rights to get my epic mount once I get 300 more gold :/

Put in a 5-6 hour farming session, then a 3 hour farming session in one day (with others), and have yet to see it drop. Found about 3 greater arcane protection pot recipes, 3 robe of the winter's night patterns, and one arcanite dragonling plan, and i'm seriously considering selling the dragonling plan to get money for the sinew or just trading it for the sinew. I dont think i could stand farming those damn dragons anymore.

Been farming these about 1-2 hours a day casually, after about 250 I loot and get an epic... Wasn't the sinew though! Got an Amulet of Cainwyn, not a bad 2nd rate prize for my time, but I still want that sinew! /goes back to grinding

Is that correct?

Commento di Allakhazam

You can't be serious if you're selling this for 500g
It barely sells for 100g on Mazrigos EU. The one you can get from AV is quite good as well. I don't see any reason to pay 400+ more g on something that increases your attack speed by 2%
The 2 slots simply isn't worth it either.. since when did you run out of arrows with a 16 slotter?

I'm not sure how much they go for on my server (yesra) but after looking at how much they go for on other servers I feel pretty lucky. Bought it tonight off a guy in IF begging someone to buy it from him for 100g. from the way he was selling other stuff I'm fairly certain he was a farmer. In any case now I have to make the decision whether to go sell it (still need epic mount) or keep it.

Hmm. I think I'm gonna park my Rogue in the cave in Mazhoril to farm for both arc crystals, the mechanical arcanite dragonling schemata and the sinew, as I have a 52 Hunter alt that will be soon using it. I am a decently geared Rogue, with a tad over 4k hp. If you look at my profile under Tressa of Blackrock, you will see my setup. I have no trouble taking down the 58 casters or the 56 "Female" looking dragons. Havn't tried the male ones yet. I'll give that a bash later.

LOL I go look for black lotus if its there, it's not. then a mob aggros me and I start runing but think, what if it drops it, AND IT DROPED! :)

Commento di Allakhazam

In my opinion, if you are just farming in order to sell this for a profit, you are much better off farming for the Crusader formula, chances are it will sell for more, plus it has a 0.18% chance to drop rather than a 0.09% chance to drop. I have farmed 5 of them. Kept one, split earnings on two of them, and got all the profit from the other 2, about 450g each thats 1350g plus i have the enchant... good game. Still takes a long time to farm though, no doubt

Commento di Allakhazam

do u get this from skinning the dragons or just a regular loot?

Commento di Allakhazam

Man, reading all these "Hey, I got it after ten kills" and so forth...

It makes farming this thing seem easy as hell but truthfully its a pain in the ass to farm. I spent a total of 34 hours trying to get it, in the process saw:

Pattern: Robes of Winter Night x 6
Recipe: Greater Arcane Prot Pot x 5
Recipe: Flask of Petrification x 1
Orb of Deception x 1

Lots and lots of green armour and weapons, and those grey ones too

Farming periods varied while doing it, probably spent 4 weeks trying to get it.

So... don't go in with high hopes... I was desensitized to the point where i was like "WTF is this crap, when did mobs drop bandages" when i saw it drop

Good luck to whoever tries getting it though

Commento di Allakhazam

Farmed for it a week :)

Commento di Allakhazam

2 weeks of farming, and still no joy, 5 hour sessions each.

they sell for 500g on our server...

I can't afford that either

No chance to kill Azuregos either, the alliance swarm all world bosses, they know when they are going to spawn next because they have all seem to have taken one and camped it...

Sometimes I seriously hate the alliance, most times I hate my luck more...

This thing is useless imo, grind AV faction instead and get the 16 slot 15% speed quiver/bandolier and don julios

Commento di Allakhazam

ive been ginding these guys for a while, in between checkin on the winterspring demon, id say ive killed close to 400 and havent gotten it yet, im almost 1/2 way to having a good chance at getting it, but now that the winterspring demons dead, i wont be in winterspring as much any more so perhaps this will take me a bit longer than expected... im slightly annoyed though, that in the hundreds ive killed ive yet to get anything good except for the blue bop winters night pattern that vendored for a whopping 50s -_- whereas others have gotten 900g in 2 days of farming, o well just more brainless grinding for me

so i come home from college, feeling like crap, i think, ive got nothing better to do than play wow! (lol..)

so i logged on, and someone asked for help with the WS demon, i said summon, i did, he killed it, and then i just thought, meh, HS is on CD so ill grind (had a mage in group make me some water and food...)

the long and tedious grind went on from 3 uk time to 11 ! but then i looted a level 57 blue elite caster dragon and got my sinew! now the proud owner of my ancient sinew wrapped lamina! yay :D

gonna grind it again tomorrow, make some serious cash! :D

Commento di Allakhazam

farmed 4 hours with my shadow priest on Dentarg got a schematic for 300 eng arcanite dragonling or so... got greens greys got Demonslayer too and after 4 hours the sinew dropped and i gave it to a friend

Commento di Allakhazam

Dropped from Azuergos on 4-20-05 on Cenarius.

Commento di Allakhazam

EDIT, THIS JUST IN.

I was going there to grind for it, like i staded some posts earlier. Drops on the 4th kill.

Happy panda ist me.

Commento di Allakhazam

i gave up farming it and just bought it off some rogue who just picked it up i guess (theres nothing wrong with taking the easy way out right?)...cost me 180g

Commento di Allakhazam

Dropped for me in about 2 1/2 days during that I got 2 assination blades and 2 plas for an arcanite dragonling which I sold for 200g a piece and I also got 2 recipes for greater arcane protection sold for 40g a piece maybe I was lucky in the mix who knows but I made about 900g in a 2 day period, a guild memeber got his in one hour.. just depends keep on killing and put the hours in if you want it, either way you might get it or get blues doing it to sell and just buy it. Sells for 550 at ah on Lightning's Blade. These are actually easy to solo if you have your hotkeys set up and a 5 button mouse, so I don't have to share loot.

Commento di Allakhazam

so we're doing the ONY attunement quest right. I tell my guildies, lol imma pull this one. We had it on Free-For-All for no reason. I solo it and it drops. i'm a 60 hunter too so it was like ownage. Running MC tommorow to get other ones and get the bow =]

Commento di Allakhazam

Today, I was on this (elite) Chimera quest (forgot how its called) nwz:
we (55 rogue and 54 shaman) were searching for this Chimera, and then this lvl 56 elite comes and attacks me - wtf?
we killed him and THIS SINNEW DROPPED!

I was like OMFG!
we agreed on needing the item, results - me: 67
he: 65

YES! that's what I call luck.
I had no idea that this guy will drop it, I didn't even know what it is :P
I checked if I can vendor it - nop
I was like: damn -.-

but then, I spam in /trade city
WTS 'sinnew'

guys wispers me: I will buy it for 200g
another guy - 250
and so on.

I think I will put it in AH and see how much I can get out of it - only bid afcourse

Commento di Allakhazam

Is it used in any other quest? coz i just looted one =P

Commento di Allakhazam

I have been farming it for over a week now, still have'nt dropped. Sells on AH for about 300g on our server, i aint gonna buy it yet though im starting to feel tempted...

Commento di Allakhazam

got my rhok and lok, then the next night joined a pug that downed azuregos on 1st attempt. I was the only hunter who had the quest so I got the sinew!

Commento di Allakhazam

Do you need the Ancient Petrified Leaf to get the the Quiver?

Commento di Allakhazam

I wanted to farm this for my alt hunter since lately I have nothin to farm, so this seemed like a good choice. Farmed for about 2 days, 3-4 hour farm sessions both days. Got a bunch of vendor trash, 1 robe pattern (which I have no use for and vendored), and an arcane protection pot recipe.

So this morning I decide to go there and farm for another few hours but low and behold, drops off the first Cobalt Mageweaver I see =D

I'm happy as hell right now.

Commento di Allakhazam

Dropped off third mob on Darkspear today,
gave it to a hunter in my guild

Commento di Allakhazam

Any1 know the reward for mages?

Commento di Allakhazam

Whenever I read about people saying "oh yeh i got this uber rare drop on first kill lol!" I always call the bull%^&* card. Untill today.
A level 56 mage and myself (Level 60 shadow priest) were going to hand in the part of the Onyxia quest chain where you have to speak to Haleh in the cave and we saw a group of Alliance grinding the mobs, we helped them clear part of the cave and "ninja-tagged" (Their words...)a freshly spawned Cobolt Scalebane, low and behold it drops, on the first mob me and the mage killed, the first mob I had killed in the area since I put my old warlock into retirement. Currently accepting bids on it of over 300gold, wish me luck. =D

Commento di Allakhazam

LOL, having done this Quest ages ago, about the time when they changed that u can get the bow and the staff together, I remember the 1st sinew i got was from those blue dragons in winterspring, while doing the Ony Q's killing the dragons. Then another dropped while i was helping another friend, and this morning I was checking for thorium and then it dropped again. So im either extremly lucky or Im just fated to get this item.

Commento di frost3go

Took me exactly 735 kills outside of the cave. I'd say it's not worth it, better off farming gold somewhere else and buying it at the auction house.

Commento di maribomba

This dropped of a Cobalt wyrmkin for me after killing 510 cobalt elites

Commento di Cullitia

Farmed this with my Hunter buddy over the weekend. He gave me his sinew since he'd experienced the thrill of Rhok'delar in vanilla so I had my bow at this point thanks to him!

The Mature Blue Dragon Sinew dropped off of a Cobalt Wyrmkin. Overall, he had about 800 kills spread evenly across all the types of Dragonkin in the cave, as well as Manaclaw over the course of about 3-4 days. I was probably there for 300-400 of those kills over 2 days.

We were also in a raid group when it dropped (just the two of us) - mainly cause I made a troll comment about maybe drop rate being better in a raid? After making it a raid, it dropped within about 20 kills. :') Not sure if a raid group makes it better or not, but why not spice things up to try and appease RNGesus? :D

He would solo outside of the cave and then with a party of 2, the cave was easy to clear out from the beginning to Manaclaw and back (respawns would be happening right on time with this so long as there weren't any other cave farmers).
We had a pretty easy time with Manaclaw as 2 Hunters, but it could get rough with a pet freezing or you freezing with Manaclaw's aggro on you - might be worthwhile to just skip him if you're unsure and focus on the Dragonkins. Whelps don't drop it, but it's worthwhile to kill them for the room in the hallways of the cave as well as the whelp pack could respawn as a Dragonkin instead (we just ignored the packs beyond Manaclaw - usually always whelps).

Good luck and happy farming! :D

Commento di Henne8210

This drop took me 560 elites, but the feeling was so amazing - GL!

Commento di silyar

You can only get the quiver after you got the leaf from majordomus.

Thanks to someone anonymous on wowdb!

By far more interesting information then how many dragons everyone needed to kill, thats what the drop rate info at the top of the page is for...

By Anonymous on 09/20/2005 (Patch 1.7.0)
You get the quiver from one of the 3 quests you get from the tree spirits in Felwood that spawn after you get the Ancient Petrified Leaf...
All you have to do for the quiver part of the quest is turn in a Mature Blue Dragon Sinew, super rare epic drop off of blue dragons.
The other two quests are for the 4 demon heads which give you a Rune Etched Stave and one quest is to turn in a Mature Black Dragon Sinew which gives you Enchanted Mature Black Dragon Sinew and then you right click the staff once you have the enchanted sinew and etched staff and then it forms the Rhok'Delar Longbow of the Ancient Keepers/Lok'Delar Stave of the Ancient Keepers.
Good hunting!

Commento di mattslayba

After killing 2536 of these, it finally dropped from a mageweaver outside of the cave. For ~700g on my server currently, it probably wasn't worth grinding. Almost any other money making method would have made more than enough gold to purchase it. I believe the drop rate is actually a consistent .1% for all of the dragon types, however the mageweaver's are definitely easiest to kill, so if you do decide to grind it, always go after those first.

If you're looking for info on this item, it is used for the epic Hunter quest after you've looted the Leaf from Majordomo's chest in Molten Core. Turning in the leaf at the trees in felwood will open up this quest: Ancient Sinew Wrapped Lamina. Completing that quest will yield the reward: Ancient Sinew Wrapped Lamina

Commento di Vaipo

Been farming this for about 5 days now. total of about 1000 elites across the 3 different types and 25 manaclaw kills.
Not a single sinew.
Dropped about 4 Arcane dragonling schematics, 8 robe patterns, 10 or so Greater Arcane protection elixirs and ~500g worth of vendored greys and greens.
Also picked up 2 random blues worth about 20-40g.

One might say its not worth the time investment but I'm subborn and will keep farming till I get it :)

Commento di Jaalouro

Do you need to be on the quest for this to drop or can anyone without the quest be able to loot this?

Commento di Raudlauk

1800 kills so far. no Sinew

Commento di Ahndoril

After about 200 kills i got a addon tracking my kills and this is the killcount so far.
Cobalt scalebane: 1044 Kills
Cobalt Wyrmkin: 1073 Kills
Cobalt Mageweaver: 1044 Kills

Finally! The Mature Blue Dragon Sinew dropped from a Cobalt Mageweaver with a final killcount on
Cobalt Scalebane: 1273
Cobalt Wyrmkin: 1294
Cobalt mageweaver: 1283

Got about 523 Raw gold and another 312 gold from grey items and green weapons, Green armor i sendt to alt for disenchanting and got materials worth about 300 gold, 25x Recipes: Greater arcane protection potion, 3x Schematic: Arcanite Dragonling and the BoE Epic Destiny

Used about 95 hours farming this item and I do not think i will do this farm again, rather buy the sinew of the AH (current realm price is 650g-800g)

At the time i got the sinew i did not have the leaf from Molten core nor did i then have the quest for the quiver.

Good luck fellow hunters: hope you are luckier then me!

Commento di Methuselah1

Edit. Just dropped after 2300 elite kills. Inside cave from a mage avg seems to be around 2k kills here?

Commento di Lmory

631 Kills. I got pretty lucky compared to others. Happy hunting!

Commento di Cruso

Im at 4257 kills atm. no sinew.
Including 30 Manaclaw kills.
Will update this if RNG gods decide to turn in my favor.

Update:
(same day, 2:27 in the morning)
I still cant believe it but it finnaly dropped. Total number of kills 4766.

To those that will come after me: Do not lose hope, be persistent and RNGeezus be with you all poor souls.

Commento di Stewbz

Had it drop for me last night after farming the dragonkin a few hours a day for 2 weeks, about 30 hours. It dropped off a Cobalt Scalebane, which I found funny since I was purposely avoiding them since they take the longest to kill and, according to wowhead, have the lowest droprate.

Commento di prolight

I have been farming this for a month after raids in the cave.

699 Wyrmkin
677 Mageweaver
672 Scalebane

No signs of the sinew.
Guildies ask "Why no buyin' it from ah"
But they don't know that at this point this is about honor and commitment.

Edit:
After 833+774+796=2403 kills it finally dropped.

Commento di KelWow

According the the wowhead hunter guide, this has a 0.5% chance of dropping off the blue dragonkin. I've farmed this area for over 10 hrs and no drop yet! Drop rate feels more like .005%.

Commento di loothuntard

as others have said this is definitely very rare i have killed at least well over 1000 of these and have seen nothing

Commento di izbrisani

Farmed today from 8am. Droped after 4 hours. Less then 50 mobs. seems i was lucky.

Commento di yandeuce

Got it this morning on my 4th kill of the day! Couldn't believe it.
You just forget what you're there for and then you see the purple color of an item.

Here are my stats:
Farmed for about a month. Started at 59 and leveled exclusively from 59 to 60 with this. As a BM hunter you could even do this at 58.

After 350 kills I decided to get killtrack.

233 Cobalt Wyrmkin
225 Cobalt Mageweaver
217 Cobalt Scalebane

Which makes a total of 1025 kills.

I believe I was lucky as well from the looks of it.

Commento di t0lkien1

I'm wondering if these even drop anymore. Been farming for three weeks solidly. Thousands of mobs, nothing. Even had friends farming for me, so add many hundreds to those thousands. None available on the AH during that time either, which tells me there's something possibly wrong.

Commento di Plurii

So here is my little story with this item:

I'm a relatively fresh 60. I just joined a new guild and had my first MC run. I got 3 Set Items and 1 Off-Set, because the only other Hunter already had those items. Immediately people start complaining and I feel terrible because I got most of the loot on my first run with them.

So the run is over, we cleared everything except Ragnaros (got it 2nd run). I go through Winterspring to get a pet (ability) and get dismounted by these blue dragon elites. I kill it and this thing drops. I got TSM (Addon) installed so right away I knew this was worth a lot. Googled it and saw the drop chance...

I then mail the item to the other Hunter (who just got the leaf) as a nice upgrade for his new bow and hope that reliefs me of some guilt of what happened before - Also, it literally took me 1 kill to get it...

Then I got the leaf and went on farming. 3500 kills and nearly 4 weeks later it dropped for me. It was painful to say the least.

And 3 days ago the third one dropped (only 100 kills later) for some nice cash.

Besides a fun story, this also is my attempt at saying: Don't give up! It 'will' drop... Just a matter of time.

Keep on grinding boys :)

Commento di Ilthalaine

Decided to get a kill tracker, after having already killed hundreds of elites.

So far:

Cobalt Mageweaver = 63
Cobalt Wyrmkin = 73
Cobalt Scalebane = 82
Tracked Total = 218 Blue Dragons

Drops so far have been the BoP tailoring pattern, the Arcane Protection Pot, the dragonling schematic, a handful of greens and greys, and lots and lots of rugged leather. But, no sinew. Judging by other comments, it's probably still going to take a very long time - or it isn't? Such is the nature of RNGesus, I guess!

Commento di screamatme

I joined a group and the first Blue dragon kill outside of the cave this dropped. As a Holy Priest I won and now I have it. Gave it to a guildie. Happy grinding!

Commento di Tytios

Dropped for me after about 1700 kills, inside and outside the cave, and about the same amount of kills for Mageweavers, Scalebanes and Wyrmkins. I still don't have the Leaf for the quiver quest.
Always get a bunch of mage water to refil your mana quick and Heavy Runecloth bandages for your pet!

Commento di nemoolcay

Got this after 28 hours of farming. Took me around 900 kills including that annoying whelps.
295 x Cobalt Mageweaver
269 x Cobalt Scalebane
317 x Cobalt Wyrmkin
135g and 208g of vendor items also dropped.

If you are a skinner, it makes them spawn faster and helps beside the 1000 leathers. (sometimes you get double rugged leathers)

Commento di ToOurRoots

60 Scalebanes, 67 Mageweavers and 98 Wyrmkin later. Got it off a Wyrmkin.

Got a second one at 103 Magebanes, 79 Scalebanes, and 132 Wyrmkin off a magebane.

Commento di LivingBones

Feel bad for being that guy, but I got the sinew from Ony yesterday, and figured I'd farm this, since none is up at my AH. I very luckily dropped it after less than 20 mobs... Dropped off a Scalebane I think, the biggest ones. Feeling blessed considering the hard grind it was for some, but that's just RNG for you...

Don't give up, it can always be the next kill.

Commento di esapol

I'm sitting at close to 2100 kills at the moment. It's maddening. However, I have gotten a decent amount of greens to DE, as well as health and mana pots for raid. I'll update again if it ever drops.

UPDATE: 12/11/2020 - I was over here today farming the invasion mobs and decided to stop in and kill a couple of the Dragonkin. After about 30 minutes it dropped, couldn't believe it. Final kill count

Cobalt Wyrmkin 1211
Cobalt Mageweaver 1196
Cobalt Scalebane 1128

Add about another 100 more from before I started tracking and total is ~3545.

Commento di Barfboy

Obscenely rare. I'm a person who enjoys tough farming, and don't get bored easily. While initially just going for the blue tailoring pattern, I decided to keep going till I had the sinew. I finally received a sinew from a mageweaver within the cave after approximately 1500-1600 kills as a warlock.

It feels around 1/10th the drop rate of the eye of shadow down south, as ive seen many of those. Based on my experience and reading I would estimate the sinew' drop rate is between 0.1% and 0.25%.

Tips I've learned:
-You cannot control RNG, but you can control kill rate. Bring affordable consumes to assist you. Consider even speccing optimally.

-Ignore the cave, the whelpings (which dont drop) block paths everywhere and killing them slows your effeciency greatly.

-Don't bother with the inner dragons, there is no evidence they have a higher drop chance then a typical mob. Never heard a soul who had success with them.

-Mageweavers are priority, they are by far the easiest and have additional drops.

Commento di illbilli

I have gotten 3 so far this month

1 off the mageweaver

Then yesterday and I know this will upset others but it can happen I ended up getting 2 within 30 minutes of each other. They dropped both off the big Scalebanes and if this happens to you make sure you put one up on ah or mail it to an alt before you go back to the farm. Luckily I had a friendly guildmate to come meet me while I held the corpse open for approximately 10 minutes. You cannot hold two nor can you store one in your guild bank and hold the other on your person. You can put one on the AH and go back to farming.

Keep killing and it does not matter if you do them all at once I left and came back and the first one I killed dropped it then I kept going and after 16 mobs the other dropped. I spend about an hour or so each time while I wait for my AV queue on Stalag where the queue is about an hour and fifty minutes :(

GOOD LUCK

Commento di CharlzO

Just passed my 2000th kill today, three weeks in, still nothing but dozens of greens, dozens of arcane pot recipes, half dozen robe patterns, and some misc patterns here and there. By far though, the most frustrating part isn't that it hasn't dropped yet. It's watching non-hunter classes come out, farm, and then see them list the Sinew in the AH shortly thereafter. Frankly, they should be paying me a commission fee, since my non-drop kills probably bumped up the odds of them actually getting theirs. The other thing to watch for, is the people that insist the entire hillside is yours. When I see other hunters farming, I tend to localize myself to an area and leave them be to theirs, and most of the time, that seems to be reciprocated. But every so often you'll get the people that just run after every single mob regardless of if you're attacking it, or aiming to, or not.

And on a personal note, if you happen to be out there and you see someone that's been obviously out there farming without luck, comments like "oh you'll get there, I just got my 7th, so keep at it!" will make me hate you, and your entire existence. You are exactly the type of person who's been getting the drops while I'm not, and I despise you and hope you get sucked up the fiery rear opening of Ragnaros.

Commento di Chedah

Don't know if they changed the drop rate on this item, but I have had 2 drop in the last week. Total kills ~300. First one dropped after about 75 kills. I never turned in the quest and kept farming to see if i could get a 2nd and sell it.

Low and behold, about 200+ kills later a 2nd dropped. Off of the same exact mob (spawn location outside of cave).

*NOTE* - if you have one (bank/bag) it won't let you pick up. I had a friend come pick up for me (I traded him mine - then looted). I sold one for 450g, then got my original back.

The drop rate may be affected by having the quest not completed - this is speculation, not sure.

Sharing in hopes it helps some of you.

Commento di IronArsenal

just over 3400 kills and trade chat calling me a @#$%^ and quitter for posting WTB and finally it dropped.

stick at it guys. takes time but it has no choice but to eventually drop

Commento di Eyzi

I got it after 297 kills (107 scalebanes, 101 mages, 88 the other ones).. If the drop chance would be 0.1 % then the chance of dropping it after those tries is roughly 77%.

Commento di LivingBones

SoD: Wanted to highlight this can drop off Colbatann as well. It's not in the stats yet, but don't sleep on this guy, mine dropped off him. I've tried to upload the data I had, but it might take a while I suppose, or it wasn't in.
