These are a rep turn-in for Kurenai(Alliance), Mag'har(Horde), and the Consortium(Neutral).

You need ten of each for each turn-in. It would be best (IMO) to do both of the starter quests your faction and the Consortium as those award XP and rep. Then, save them for whichever you think will be more useful to grind rep.

In my case (as a warrior who likes stamina and a dwarf hunter who likes guns), this is the Consortium. I'm not worried about getting rep for the Kurenai as neither of my toon's professions or is greatly aided by the Kurenai rewards.

Dropping at a roughly 1/3 (33%) drop rate, these obsidian beads are used to turn in for reputation. They give 500 per 10.

Kurenai reputation is primarily used to obtain the special epic mount - a "Talbuk"

Commento di 21585

Assuming you start at 0/12000 honored, to grind ogres to exalted would take roughly 1238 kills.

MATH:
Honored rep (12k) + Revered rep (21k) = 33k Rep Points
Drop Rate on Ogres (33%), 10 rep per ogre, 500 rep per Turn-in.
So, about 30 kills per turn-in, that's 300 rep (kills) + 500 rep (turn-in) = 800 rep for 30 kills, so...

33,000 divided by 800 rep = 41.25
41.25 x 30 kills = 1237.5 or 1238 Ogre Kills.

Commento di 20647

You get quite a bit of rep from quests too. I think getting rep with the Kurenai (for Alliance anywas) is a peice of cake (or pie) compared to any other rep grind in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to stealth nerf it, it's that easy. Would be really nice if some of the other rep grinds were this easy...or at least more fun.

Commento di 41559

Complete all the quests for the Kurinai in Zangarmarsh and then in Nagrand itself, completed all the chains, and after that had to start grinding the ogres for the beads, and for the 10 beads in a stack to turn in multiple sets.. remember that it will be 10 rep for kill as stated above, in a party of 2 or more people you kill more ogres, and faster bead acquisition.. if you are a druid, id recommend you are feral :) makes things go faster....

Commento di 42872

got 30 of them from killing 80 ogres so somewhat of a decent drop rate about 38% drop rate

Commento di CynicalBear

Each of the warbeards x10 give 500 Reputation for Kurenai.
This is atleast like that for my Night Elf hunter and been so ever since Friendly and all the way to Revered (still works while revered)

Commento di crescentwindx

An important note that has been so far totally ignored in these comments is that Zaxxis Insignias in Netherstorm are an easier way to rep up with Consortium than the warbeads are, because they drop more frequently (Insignias drop around 50% of the time, while warbeads drop roughly 33% of the time).

So no, it's not a total waste to use the warbeads for Kurenai or Mag'har, especially if you're like me and think talbuks are more or less the best thing since sliced bread (and are on a server where Halaa is contested maybe once a month).

Commento di 65452

Everyone here seems to completely ignore the talbuk aspect of the Kurenai/Mag'har factions. Remember, this is a game and if you want a talbuk and you want to get it fast by turning these in instead of stiffly maximizing your reputation gain you ARE allowed to so.
Its about fun, not efficiency, remember?

Commento di 88801

Also whats great about grinding on the ogres is that you get oshu'gun powder which you can turn into Halaa for research tokens (when your faction has control). that gives you some great rewards

Commento di dJe781

The best grinding spot for affliction warlocks is the cave at (40,32). No self-healing mobs and interruptable frost mages (instead of shamans which use totems or Earth shock). Also, mobs are little bit more near from each other, which allows you to "Tab & DoT" in a more efficient way, especially if you're using Darkmoon Card: Crusade

Commento di 120053

The drop rate is about 33%. Thast one drop per three kills. One kill awards ~1000 exp and ~10 Kurenai/Mag'Har honor.

For ten of these that would mean 30 kills. That is ~30k exp and ~300 honor.
And when you turn them in an extra 500 honor.

These are defintly worth grinding. Especially good if you combine it with those quest involving the Warmaul tribe

Commento di 131564

anyone done the math on consortium from friendly-MAX with warbeads? i suck in math .

Commento di 133236

At what level can you start to turn in the beads? I'm at lv 61, with 68 beads at hand, and I can't seem to turn them in. Is there a level requirement?

Thank you

Commento di 114755

any ideas wheres its best to grind these as a fire mage?

Commento di 103638

Up to 10,000 rep for a 200 stack turn in.

200 Divided by 10 = 20
20x500= 10,000

33 % chance to drop off ogres.

200x3 = 600 ogres to get 200 Beads and + the 10 rep bonus from 600 kills(10x600) = 6,000 + 10,000 = 16,000.

Good luck!

Commento di Kiayateo

I did the calculation for me since I wanted to get to Revered With Consortium and Exalted with Kurenai so see how many Ogres I would need to kill.

So assuming starting at 0/12000 Honored with both you would need
12000 Consortium divided by 250 a turn in = 48 Turn ins * 10 Warbeads/Turn in= 480 Warbeads
480 Warbeads * 3 Orges/Warbead = 1440 Orges

Now you will have gained 14400 Kurenai rep by grinding Consortium so you will only need 18600 to reach exalted.

Figuring 800 Rep a turn in from an above post you would need 18600 rep divided by 800 rep/turn in = 23.25 turn ins.

23.25 turn ins * 30 Ogres/Turn In = 697.5 ~ 698 Ogres.

Adding those together you will need 2138 Ogres to get Exalted with Kurenai and Revered with Consortium.

I'm 810/12000 for Consortium and 918/21000 for Kurensi so I have 1594 Orges left to kill.....*sigh*

Commento di Yofi

To chip in on the number crunching, if anyone's curious…

500 per Kurenai turn-in of 10 beads = 50 rep per bead

and 33% droprate off all ogres

…means that the bead turn-in adds about 16⅔ rep to each ogre kill.

So as you're killing, imagine you're gaining 26⅔ rep each instead of 10! :D

Commento di 201210

Always be sure to read (thoroughly) what's written on WoWhead before you try and farm. I made the -stupidest- mistake by mis-reading what was written.

the first numbers I saw pop up were ''250'', so I assumed 250 rep / 10 beads for Kurenai!

Let's just say, I got 100 beads more than required.

Also, if you're farming for Consortium rep, go south of Area 52 in Netherstorm and kill the Zaxxis raiders. they have a higher drop rate on their insignias than the ogres do for the beads. Plus, along with the random key (these come along quite often when AoEing big groups), that's MORE rep, free items AND you have a chance of getting rep with other factions (you may free a trapper Keeper of time NPC, for example, and get rep for them). Also, if you have any other people in the group, be sure to have them tag along when opening the Prisons. they get rep too!

Commento di 176208

I've been grinding these off boulderfist ogres and the drop rate appears to be much lower than in the past. When I did the exalted grind they were dropping at 33%. It seems much lower now I kill 5-6 mobs for one. It's been like this for days now. It's becoming a pain.

Commento di 185864

A great place to farm the warbeads is at 62, 73. I tried this place out just a second ago, and my first 5 dropped Obsidian Warbeads AND Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples. After those 5, it started to slow down to every other one, but this is way faster than any other ogres I have seen so far.

Commento di Firre

I use to farm these beads in Nagrand when i had to get both Mag'har and Consortium rep.
I figured out that I could kill 1 mod in about 30 sec. (with rest/eating time) on my rogue.

So remembering this:
10 Mag'har rep pr. mob
33% chance to get beads on mobs

I came up with this:
Farming pr. 1 hour (120 mobs) = 1200 Mag'har rep + 1000 Consortium rep (about 40 beads = 4 turn ins at Consortium).

Commento di RingK

But if you are collecting rep for both factions and start 0/12000 Honored with both, you would need to kill:

3.960 mobs to get Exalted with both
2.138 mobs to get Exalted with Kurenai/Mag'har and Revered with Consortium

Happy hunting :b

Calculations if you are interested: ^^
Kurenai/Mag'har
10 rep / kill (without turn-ins) OR (80/3) rep / kill (with turn-ins)
Consortium
~1/3*25 rep / kill ( I hate decimals)
= 25/3 rep / kill

Kurenai/Mag'har to Exalted
33.000 / 10 = 3.300 kills
Consortium to Exalted
33.000 / (25/3) = 3960 kills
Consortium to Revered
12.000 / (25/3) = 1440 kills

1440 kills = 14400 rep for Kurenai/Mag'har
2400/21000 Revered to Exalted is 18600 rep
18.600 / (80/3) = 698 kills
1440 kills + 698 kills = 2137,5 = ~2138 kills

Commento di 254687

Way easy to farm as a death knight, you dont need food or water, just kill kill kill. hehe.

^-^ happy farming guys.

Commento di 241776

The drop rate off the Warmaul ogres seems to be much worse than 33%, maybe 20% now. Grinding these is hard work.

Commento di phantomeagle

I find it far easier, after lvl 70, to fly around to all the spots that have the Ogres. With my DK, who's got mining and Skinning, I find it easier to keep moving and not wait for respawn of ore. I also find that I don't need to wait at all for mobs to respawn. I can easily get 2k faction in just a couple hours or work, without turn ins. I also get stacks of ore to boot.

Commento di DrMrsTheMonarch

I found that the Burning Blade Ruins at was a little hard to navigate quickly in order to clear the area efficiently.

I found the best source I found for farming these beads was to clear the two caves at and . Once you are done clearing one, just mount up and fly to the other. They should be respawned once you are ready to head back. There are also some fast respawns for some of the mobs, sometimes popping up the second you finish killing the previous mob.

If you don't have a navigation system with coordinates, get one. In the meantime you can find these two caves in the trenches North and Southeast of Halaa. They aren't marked with names on your map, but they are marked as cave openings.

Also consider collecting Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples to turn in for Halaa Research Tokens (if your faction controls Halaa). If you're level 80, most of the gear you can buy with them is pretty useless to you, but a nice 18 slot bag can be bought for just 8 of these. The vendor that sells this is Quartermaster Davian Vaclav for when alliance controls Halaa, and Quartermaster Jaffrey Noreliqe when horde does.

This grind also yields a truckload of netherweave cloth, sometimes 3 pieces per ogre. You're guaranteed to make a decent chunk of change from this on AH on top the money from vendoring all the greens you'll get as drops. This is overall a worthwhile rep grind. On top of that, you get a talbuk mount when exalted, which is the whole reason I'm doing this.

Happy hunting. :)

Commento di 218218

I'm not sure if this is a fluke or not, but mage and warrior boulderfist in the southwind cleft seemed to have a higher droprate than other ogres. When grinding in the burning blade ruins, it took me a full half hour to get only 6 beads, when in southwind cleft I got a stack of 10 within 10 minutes. The area also seems less populated than others.

Edit: The southwind cleft totalled to 29 in one half hour.

Commento di 303838

note that this item seems to have a hidden max in inventory limit of 50. Was killing ogres and wondering why i wasn't getting any drops. I looked in my inventory and found it curious that i was sitting on exactly 50. I killed about 50 boulderfist ogres and got no drops. Went and turned some in, as soon as i did they started dropping at their regular 33% rate

Commento di 336018

This rep group is a great source for the mount achievement(s). You will be able to buy 8 epic ground mounts total for Mag'har I'm sure, probably the same for alliance though too.

Commento di 348922

I started out as a lvl 66 DK, about 80% of the way through. I was at Honored. I farmed about 50 Warbeads in an hour and turned those in for Revered.

For Revered, I did the same thing, only on a MUCH larger scale.

By the end, I was almost lvl 68, and had earned over 150g! I also got the achievement for Got My Mind On My Money!

I found that Warbeads seemed to drop a lot faster at the Southwind Cleft than the Ruins or Northwind.

Happy hunting.

Commento di Lythoras

I took detailed notes on six occassions so that I could report drop rates here. All three locations are in Nagrand.

1. Laughing Skull Ruins:
-Killed 67 Ogres
-Looted 30 Obsidian Warbeads (44% drop rate)
-Looted 13 Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples (19% drop rate)
-Looted 56 Netherweave Cloth (84% drop rate)

2. Southwind Cleft:
-Killed 50 Ogres
-Looted 13 Obsidian Warbeads (26% drop rate)
-Looted 5O Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples (10% drop rate)
-Looted 39 Netherweave Cloth (78% drop rate)

3. Back to Laughing Skull Ruins:
-Killed 50 Ogres
-Looted 21 Obsidian Warbeads (42% drop rate)
-Looted 10 Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples (20% drop rate)
-Looted 40 Netherweave Cloth (80% drop rate)

4. Back to Southwind Cleft:
-Killed 47 Ogres
-Looted 13 Obsidian Warbeads (27% drop rate)
-Looted 9 Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples (19% drop rate)
-Looted 34 Netherweave Cloth (72% drop rate)

5. Northwind Cleft:
-Killed 48 Ogres
-Looted 14 Obsidian Warbeads (29% drop rate)
-Looted 5 Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples (10% drop rate)
-Looted 32 Netherweave Cloth (66% drop rate)

6. Back to Laughing Skull Ruins:
-Killed 59 Ogres
-Looted 16 Obsidian Warbeads (27% drop rate)
-Looted 10 Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Samples (16% drop rate)
-Looted 30 Netherweave Cloth (51% drop rate)

Except for the last time I went to Laughing Skull Ruins, all other visits there yielded better drop rates for all three items compared to Southwind and Northwind Clefts. The Ogres drop other items, too, but I did not record them.

Commento di sunako

Btw.. for Mag'har rep, you turn it in to Warden Bullrok at 56, 38 in Garadar.

Commento di Alannaaa

Alot of you will probably disagree with me here :P Just an observation I've made because I'm grinding rep with the Kurenai.

But I've noticed the ogres in Nagrand, up near the ring of blood at around 46,20 seem to have more obsidian warbeads than the ogres at Burning blade ruins 76,65. It's not because there may be more or less ogres in those areas, They just seem to drop alot less lol.

Just my opinion :P But I suppose it depends on the person farming them lol.

Commento di 268034

Well i didnt really mind to grind this rep but since im a DK 80Level and i got the DK Mount all along a talbuk would be nice :) Drop Rate is about 33-44%(Drops every 3 Kill,every 4 now and then) and about 25-50gold farm from killing the ogres(Since also drops cloths and uncommon items)

My Tactic as a Frost///UH Deathknight : Rush to points where major amount of agres are rush in with a HB and go on on about 10-15 ogres pop DnD and IT > Pestilence then HB and all of em dead :)

As Rogue : Use FoK Glyph rush in while pulling about 5 ogres shoot 1 FoK(about 10sec after pull) go on with about 20ogres and do a FoK Spamm with evsion on(only if 20ogres or more) try to run up and down to divide the ogres for eayest looting and use Intant pioson as Combat and Deadly(orly) as Assa

One of the easiest rep grinds in comaprison to wintespring or Sons of hodir

Happy Grinding

Commento di asloversgo

The best place, in my opinion, to farm these is in the Laughing Skull Ruins. It's very big, has a lot of ogres, and if you start at an end and work your way through to the other end, the ogres from the start has probably respawned. This means endless killing, which will be faster than if you have to wait for spawn inside the other places, which mostly are caves.

Commento di Toadkiller

Level 80 plus you want to hand in beads for mag'har rep and do Auchenai for Consortium rep.

Commento di 339992

I found the best place to farm these is Southwind Cleft. The respawn rate is ridiculously high. Even 2-shotting them at 80, they still respawned fast enough for me to grind that one area enough beads to reach exalted with both Mag'har and Consortium. Drop rate is pretty decent, too. On higher populated servers, you'd probably have to move between the other cave, and possible other Ogre camps if someone else is in the area.

Commento di 529338

Recently i was farming more beads and wasn't getting any powder drops. I looted over 30 beads, but not a single powder. At the time, i had a stack of 100 powder in my bags. Im thinking that the powder stops dropping if you have a full stack in your possession, and because of this, the rate of bead drops is increased. Just a theory, need to get another stack of 100 powders to test this.

Right click on the NPC who you turn the warbeads into and press whatever button you have this bound to. This makes turning in any rep item a breeze. I suggest binding it to the mouse wheel for nearly instant turn ins.

Commento di rabnab

I've just gone through the farming of those to get exalted with Kurenai. I figured that as a warlock, the quickest way to farm them is affliction specced. You can just run around and cast Corruption on every mob, and loot them when they all died. Also put your pet on passive. If your pet kills a mob before you have cast a spell on it, you won't be able to loot it.

Also worth noting, the mobs respawn FAST! Some of them respawn as soon as they hit the ground, as if there's a queue of mobs waiting to spawn. This can have funny results, like a field full of dead ogres: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/9063/moarkills.jpg

Commento di reiahart

I farmed in one specific spot because I rarely had competition. When I did it was only by those who had a quest that required them to go there. The place was "Northwind Cleft" at 40, 31.

It was the fastest spot I found to grind rep and get the obsidian warbeads, so I did a quick 10 minute study to show the results...

In 10 minutes I had:

- 63 kills
- 12 warbeads

(extras)

8.5 stacks of Netherweave Cloth
3 greens
21 Oshu'gun Crystal Powder Sample

The respawn rate was rediculously fast. I literally had them spawning on top of one another. I would kill everything outside, run inside the cave, kill everything in there and then rinse in repeat. Sometimes I would kill things too fast for them to respawn close to one another in which case I'd wait less than 30 seconds for them to respawn and be as less sparse.

Make sure you have empty bags for a long grind and loot every corpse so you can have a new mob appear, though I don't think it would hold it up for too long regardless.

Commento di 593201

To add my own personal numbers to the mix:

From 0/21,000, as a human, it took me 751 kills to get me to exalted. 751 kills put me at 8267/21,000 and by then I had just acquired enough Obsidian Warbeads fill me up the rest of the bar (13,200).

Damn that grind sucked. So glad I did it at 80 though. I recommend listening to dubstep to ease the pain of it.

Commento di 653776

Okay, when I started I had around 6000/12000 honored rep with the Mag'har. I killed enough Boulderfist ogres at the Southwind Cleft to get to revered (about 600) just off the ogre kill rep.

600 Ogres
114 warbeads
19% drop rate

What the heck? This is a far cry from the 44% listed up top and the 33% in the comments. Why does it vary so widely? All in all it was easy and didn't take long because they respawn so darn fast. I also got 14 stacks of netherweave, a handful of greens, a blue, and 52 Oshu'Gun powder samples.

My best advice is circling around the map for the ogres, massacre them all, and loot everything. Do Ring of Blood if you get bored and people are looking for help.

Commento di zeppelinluvr

The highest drop rate, and most concentrated amount of ogres, in my opinion, is the entire Laughing Skull Ruins area. Made grinding beads for the Talbuk mount go by much faster than anywhere else. Navigated between there and the cave located at 39/31 on the map, and grinding the beads went nice and quick.

Commento di 70906

I did Friendly - Exalted on my 85 hunter (Guild level 21 for 10% more rep) over 3h 10m.

It took me 1520~ kills and 440 Obsidian Warbeads to do this. I found the best place to farm at Burning skull ruins were I spent the most of my time. I also went to Laughing Skull but didn't found the droprate as frequent. Maybe cause they were my last 50 warbeads :p

Anyways, I'm a mountoholic so I thought this was totally worth wasting a friday evening on, gl farmers !

At southwind clef the ogre cave near Halaa.

High respawn makes it nice to circle in and out of the cave and constanly clearing mobs

Commento di 749500

I would like to say that purely from a lvl 85 perspective, you are probably one shotting these or close to it. IMO, the best spot to grind is Laughing Skull Ruins for the simple fact that the level difference between these mobs and a lvl 85 means most of your time is spent just navigating the terrain. Since Laughing Skull is out in the open, without alot of navigating and several mobs grouped together, it seems the best choice. Respawn timers also seem to be the same amongst all ogres roughly. The only downside is as a frost dk, I seemed to be killing them faster than a full group of mobs would respawn.

Commento di Zaxy

To turn these in for Kurenai rep, the repeatable quest turn-in is with Warden Moi'bff Jill Warden Moi'bff Jill, at 54,70 in Telaar. Others have said you need to be honored(?) with them to do the repeatable turn in, but i can't confirm that, as i was revered before i started handing in beads.

Commento di Calescent

You get 600 Rep per turn in by being Human (Race) and by having the buff from your 25 level Guild.
260 more and less, is enough to complete Revered and Exalted.

Commento di Silvertongue

Assuming you have are human, or have the guild reputation buff, at 0/12k honored--

At a 48%, rounded to 50%, takes 20 ogres for 10. 550 per turn in, 11 per kill. So, for a turn in plus the kills required, you get 781 rep. 33k/781=42.25)*20 To get to exalted, you need 42.25 turn ins, 845.07 ogre kills.
The last .07 kill of an ogre is the hardest, you just have to wound it then run away.

I recently farmed these beads to exhalted with Kurenai, the place I found best was indeed the cave at (40,32)

At this cave there are approximately 18 mobs inside and 10 outside, 2 of which walk in and out of the cave.

I found a loop that worked for me and stuck with it, I had no problems with respawns - they are very quick here.

I started at 9000/12000 rep after finishing all quests that gave rep. By the time I had gathered 200 beads I was 4 bars into revered just off killing mobs and after handing in I had 15 000/21 000 rep.

Using a feral druid I was averaging 35 beads every 15 minutes so this grind was not that bad in the end.

It took me around 280 beads to reach exhalted. NOTE: Each hand in was rewarding me with 550 Kurenai rep, NOT 500 and NOT 250.

Highly recommend this spot, hope this helps!

10 Warbeads will get you about 700 rep (this includes the rep gained from killing the ogres and includes the guild bonus).

I found it a lot easier to gauge my progress with this. Having just completed Mag'har of Draenor, it took me 190 Warbeads to go from about 7000/21000 to exalted. This is from 550 rep per turn in, and 11 rep per mob kill (guild bonus).

I farmed these around 2 hours 45 mins and got 3 superior healing pots, 1 superior mana pot, 8 greens, and 83 beads. I got enough netherweave to make our guild tailor say "I don't want any more."

turns in for rep all the way to exalted

Commento di Allakhazam

When does killing the Ogres STOP giving rep?

I'm getting 10 per kill at Friendly and don't want to start doing quests and turn-in's until the killing stops giving rep.

It was disappointing that you can't get much farther than the start of Honored with Thrallmar, and then again with Cenarion Exp. I even saved the CE quests until the kill rep stopped and they only got me to about 3000ish of honored...

I'm hoping Mag'Har, Scryers, Lower City and Sha'Tar are a bit more forgiving...

Commento di Allakhazam

For those of u farming this to get rep with The Consortium, turn at 31.57. U must be Friendly with them and every 10 stack gives 250 rep ;D

Commento di Allakhazam

takes about 4700 ogre slayings to get exalted with consortium from honoured.
although its highly worth it (as a rogue for me anyway), its very time consuming. just a heads up

Commento di Allakhazam

also turn in 10 for 250 rep whit horde/Mag'har

Commento di Allakhazam

Your best bet is actually to use these for Consortium rep. You can turn them in for 250 rep for 10 at the Consortium camp in western Nagrand. Every month the consortium sends you gems, the higher your rep the better the gems, so get grinding. And yes you do get Kuranei rep from Ogres all the way to exulted.

Commento di Allakhazam

Easiest rep grind ever, Started on monday and have done 2 hours every day, almost exalted with Kuranai.

Commento di Thottbot

They are also good for Kurenai rep in Telaar; 550 per turn in, even through Revered.

Commento di Thottbot

As mentioned above, you can bring any further stacks of 10 warbeads to Telaar... they go to Warden Lolol. I picked up 500 rep points with the Kurenai each turn-in.

Commento di Thottbot

If you plan to grind to exalted with Consortium, don't bother turning them in for rep with Kurenai.
You receive 10 rep per ogre kill for Kurenai, so you will hit exalted on quite the same time on both fractions (33% drop chance = 25 rep per 3 mobs for Consortium and 30 rep for Kurenai).

Commento di Thottbot

Where do you turn these in?

Commento di Thottbot

Turn them in at 54,70 in Telaar

Warden Iolol

by the big tree

Commento di Thottbot

I face the same problem

Commento di Thottbot

The warbeads are easiest found where the boulderfist ogres are, its about a 20% rate that it will drop.

Commento di Thottbot

Doesn't seem to have been mentioned, but you need to be level 65 to hand these in. You get the first hand-in quest at 65 as well, fo' sho'. Keep it real.

Commento di Thottbot

the ogre hunters that hang out east of Telaar in Nagrand have a pretty decent drop rate of Obsidian warbeads, for some reason, they aren't listed here, maybe because there aren't a lot of them, but there are enough to farm, just a suggestion.

Commento di Thottbot

Turn them in to Warden Iolol (that's an "i" at the beginning of his name, not an "L") in Telaar at 54.8,70.9

Commento di Thottbot

The guy you turn these into for the Horde is in Garadar by the wanted Poster (55,37) That is next to the fire. His name is Warden Bullrok.

Commento di Thottbot

Just finished a full run of the blouderfist ogres in Nagrand, got 4 warbeads. Ive been farming these for awhile, and was wondering if anyone else noticed a reduced drop rate. I am talking about the level 64-65 ones. I cleared the full cave, all by the quest giver, and the whole area leading to Corki, and the full bottom area including the buildings....

I thought it may have been a change because they had the same drop rate as the level 67-68 ones....

Oh well, I'll see if my luck changes.

Commento di Thottbot

Ok i've been nearly everywhere where the beads drop, and i've found that the Laughing Skull Ruins seem to drop the best, ands its taken me (at laughing skull ruins) about a hour to grind 1/4 with a rogue in revered. Seems to be the quickest way.

Commento di Thottbot

idk if someone already posted this, but for alliance, u have to complete both of the "Wanted:" quests for Warden Iolol, and then u can turn them in.

Commento di Thottbot

I started grinding the boulderfist ogres (Northwind cleft cave 40/29) at 4:54 ended at 5:33 (around 40 mins) and killed: 50 ogres and got....

20 warbeads
9 oshu'gan powders
2 green items
and over 40 netherweave cloth

plus 10 rep every ogre kill for Kurenai which = 500 total rep gained.

It is a long process but if your patient and do a little everyday you will eventually get there. Hope this helps.

Commento di Thottbot

You can also grind at The Heap in Netherstorm for Zaxxis Insignias. Those are used for Consortium reps as well but you dont get the Kurenei rep for the kills. IMO the grind for Obsidian Warbeads is easier and more rewarding.

Commento di Thottbot

I've been killing the Warrior and Mage ogres to get these beads.

Normally, the drop rate for me is about 1 kill in 4 ... but last night, at about 11:45 PM server time, nearly EVERY OGRE I KILLED dropped one of these.

And this wasn't just a statistical fluke. The drop rate was CONSISTENTLY high until midnight.

I'm wondering ... does the drop rate vary by time of day, like it does for some kinds of fishing?

Commento di Thottbot

I don't think I'd call 15 minutes of behavior "consistent". With the present drop rates, and the amount of people farming the beads, there's a considerable chance that every day there will be someone who gets a bead drop on every kill for 40 kills in a row.

Commento di Thottbot

just thought i'd post saying how awesome it is farming these at the laughing skull ruins early in the morning, especially as a 70 combat rogue.

in addition to the fast respawns, the
mag'har rep
beads
netherweave cloth
super healing potions
crystal powder
scrolls
food
water
vendor trash
up to 20s
that the ogres drop per kill, i also got lots of greens and a blue.

pickpocketing resulted in further silver and junkboxes containing pots, potion ingredients and flash/blinding powder.

a double money pockpicket trick was also pretty cool here, since i was doing it so much: stealth closely past a mob you have targeted and spam pickpocket really fast. if the mob only has silver to give you, you get the same silver twice instead of once. example:
http://i3.tinypic.com/6b3c7mg.jpg
may not seem like bothering over since it's just 5-10 pickpocketed silver, but when you're killing 35356464 mobs it mounts up.

i also came across a few boxes containing ore.

blade flurry for the pairs around the fires, cloak of shadows for the totems and frost shock, mana tap from the shamans and garadar is a short fly away for when you need to clear your bags.

all in all, it's a walk in the park and very profitable. stick on your favourite music and grind away!

Commento di Thottbot

2 hunters roving from one cave to the other in Warmaul Hill and we made 9000 rep each, including war beads.

Much faster than solo.

Commento di Thottbot

Farmed these for Kurenai and Consortium, figured I'd add my experience.

Exactly 33% drop rate. I used the southwind cleft, just because it was near Telaar for emptying out bags.

233 beads from 716 Boulderfist Warriors.
219 beads from 673 Boulderfist Mages.

Went up to Laughing Skull briefly one day that my camp got overfull. Same drop rate, mobs were a little bit harder for me though (70 combat rogue), I found the mobs at the North / South cleft's to be quicker kills.

27 beads from 75 Warmaul Shamans.
19 beads from 64 Warmaul Reavers.

About 200 Netherweave per 100 beads. If you make these into Heavy bandages, you get 6g / stack from a vendor, which is the same as 3g / stack of netherweave. AH prices on my server are around 3g10s, so it's very worthwhile to just vendor the bandages. I made a good 30g+ per 100 beads on just netherweave.

Pretty decent money otherwise, I got three blues - Two of Lunacy, a JC design that sold for 300g instantly, and a druid staff (Staff of Braxx-something) that won't sell.

34 green drops in 1528 mobs.

Commento di Thottbot

where does everyone keep getting Iolol , Lolol or whateverlol >.<

Gotta turn them in at Warden Moi'bff Jill in Telaar.

Commento di Thottbot

I got about 40 beads in an hour from Warmaul Warlocks and Brutes at Warmaul Hill.

Commento di Thottbot

In approximately 2 hours of grinding ogres in the laughing skulls ruins I got the following:

108 netherweave cloths
50 warbeads
1 green vendor fodder
1 Shroud of Spiritual Purity

not including all the gray drops and silver each mob drops

Commento di Thottbot

killing the ogres in nagrand are a great way to get war beads and are easy to kill. I farmed these to get up rep from consitoruim (give you a BAG of beads, atleast 1 blue, and about 6 othher greens a month), for xp, and for cloth that i make into bandages and sell to vender (more profit than paying to put them on the AH, atleast in my server, gurubashi)

Commento di Thottbot

In about a half hour of grinding these in laughing skull ruins I got 21 warbeads, and 20 netherweave cloth. I found that the shamans are very easy and quick to kill and the drop rate isn't too bad. I'll be grinding these to get exalted.
