Obtained from work orders at the level 3 barn. I was only getting 1 savage blood per work order even with a level 100 skinning bonus follower active on the building. As of most recent build, work orders take 24 hours each to complete (20 with a max follower) so these will be a bottleneck for upgrading crafted gear. I suggest getting level 3 barns on as many alts as possible if you want to get your crafted gear upgraded in a timely manner.

Comment by wilsim

Is the Barn really supposed to be the ONLY way to upgrade crafted gear? Seems like you need to catch a lot of beasts no matter which kind of gear you want to craft.

edit*
Seems like JC will be the only self-sustained profession, since it does not rely on Savage Blood to create the highest ilvl gear.

Comment by Beriberi

The blood can be obtained by trapping elite creatures with a level 3 barn. (Level 3 barn plans are the reward from Master Trapper )

Wetland Trampler - work order produces Savage Feast and a chance at Savage Blood.
Ironhide Bull - work order produces Raw Beast Hide and a chance at Savage Blood.
Direfang Alpha - work order produces Sumptuous Fur and a chance at Savage Blood.

The Primal Spirit traders, "Appraiser" Sazsel Stickyfingers (H) and Ashley Zerep (A), sell Savage Blood at 50 PS per blood in the garrison.

As of build 6.0.2.18935, Savage Blood is required for the upgrade items for all professions. The work orders are currently (9/27/14) 4 hours per trap on the barn, allowing 6 elite creatures to be trapped per day with a chance for blood.

Comment by IceWolfDK

Hrm, seems to me that Savage Blood essentially is the new 'living steel' of WoD. The quintessential rare crafting material needed by all gear crafters. It will fetch a premium early on the AH, due to the hefty need for it to upgrade the crafted epics, as well the rng in obtaining it.

I hazard a guess that all those with massive amounts of xmute alts, will turn them into Barn owners to generate Savage Blood. Though its a significantly more complicated effort from just pressing a transmute button daily, as you need to actively go out and trap beasts to keep the workorder queue rolling.

Comment by AtomicKitty

At the current rate of Work Orders (4 hours) it will take 20.83 days to get Master Trapper, which is needed to purchase the level 3 Barn. So until then, you cannot get the level 3 Barn to start farming Savage Blood. Keep in mind, these numbers are based on one character, but the achievement is account-wide. If you have 10 characters doing this each day, the achievement will go 10 times as fast.

However, if you simply need to queue the work order instead of completing each one, it should take 18.5 days to simply place all of them, at a rate of 14 work orders per building.

Furthermore, if you have Storehouse Level 1, then it will take 17.6 days to complete this achievement, since you get an additional 5 work orders per building.

Adding a follower with the Skinning trait will also increase work orders and further decrease time, if you only need to start work orders and not finish them.

Remember, work orders do not complete at the same time, one must complete before the next can begin.

Until you can get the level 3 Barn, you are better off farming Primal Spirit and trading 50 of them in for Savage Blood.

Comment by permeus

ok so as with all the professions in WOD im hearing how you can get X with this garrason building and X with this other building but what if you are a skinner can you get Savage Blood as a random (Rare) drop from skinning or is it only from vendors and the barn?

Comment by Garumeg

Weirdly enough, this item was ninja-hotfix nerfed all the way from epic purple to uncommon green. Interestingly unnecesary, if I may add.

Comment by qwertywasdallday

So I know it can be sold/bought on the auction house, but does anyone know if you can just farm it on one and send it to an actual crafting alt?

Comment by Esben82

So i finally got my Barn to lvl3, and its been up and running for about 24h, i put in 18 workorders made from Elite Clefthoofs in Nargrand, now i would like 2 see some bloods, but all i get is more leather... why?

Comment by taqman

I need to recruit me a vampire or a chupacabra to work my barn to get me more of this stuff.

Comment by DrHavocMD

Can be obtained by trapping level 100 elite animals in Nagrand with Deadly Iron Trap for the barn level 3.
From what I've heard to chance of a level 3 barn work order containing a Savage Blood is ~33%, however out of 5 elite work orders I did none yielded any. I will update my drops the next days and try to get a data sample big enough to estimate a good average.

Data of elite barn level 3 work orders WITH a level 100 follower working in the barn:

2014-12-01 1 out of 6
2014-12-02 3 out of 6
2014-12-03 1 out of 6
2014-12-04 2 out of 12
2014-12-05 0 out of 9
2014-12-06 1 out of 13

Total 8 out of 52

Average 15,38%

*I'll try to keep the data updated.

Comment by Gwedo

Master Trapper can be Achieved faster by having barns on Alts. The achievement is account bound.

Comment by ucplayer

Damn RNG. 18 orders 1 Savage Blood. And got a lvl100 follower at the Barn...

Comment by Dragmarion

Drop rate from work orders was boosted at 9th December. Yesterday i have opened 17 work orders and got 3 savage blood inside. Today i opened 3 and got 2 savage blood in them.

Comment by furianXO

These are 1900 a pop on my server (KT), as an engineer, it would cost me 28.5k to upgrade my weapon... so much for being able to craft guns. I'm better off picking gathering professions and buying a weapon off the AH!

I imagine the drop rate on these will be increased at some point, or the requirements for the recipes to be dropped.

Comment by Kariego

As of December 2014 this is the best thing to spend Primal Spirit on. At 10 Spirit per crafting mat it would have to be worth at least 20% of what a Savage Blood is worth for 50 Spirit. So if Savage Blood is going for 1500g you'll need your crafting mat to be worth 300g a piece, meaning a wearable item that uses 100 mat would need to sell for 30,000g. That's not happening anymore, so buy Bloods.

Comment by TawathaCamber

Its great to see the lvl 3 garrison and barn working for others..but..
I have put in almost 20 elite 100 trapped animals. I have a follower working and I have yet in almost two weeks to receive even 1 savage blood. I get savage feasts out the ever lovin' nose..I have had to use my primal spirits to even start getting savage blood's. Unless I missed something I don't know what to do. I'm putting in the orders correctly, have the lvl 3 barn, trap the right animals and I know they are because they damn near kill me everytime lol (those Alpha wolves hurt) If drop rates picked up. I unfortunately am not wielding from it..just one savage blood to show it does work would be nice instead of just feasts...

As I am a engineer AND a JC..not cost effective to buy the blood's in the least. Not having them drop at all for me in the barn is aggrivating and I'm already sick of wasting my time spending hours caging the beasts for it and getting nothing in return. Nearly two weeks, bug reports, and tickets and not a damn word from anyone..not to mention my NPC's are bugging the hell out half the time have to leave the garrison and come back just for them to talk to me to put in a order in any building. I have every building, garden, mine and fishing shack to lvl 3 in my garrison except for my stable (which almost is) with the time and gold spent..to yield something productive for both my professions is turning out to be completely without merit. I get my gears and my taladite crystals from my professions, why is it a building that is supposed to yield as the professions do don't?

Comment by MagusMaximus

I must be extremely unlucky, because as of the Dec. 9th hotfix, I've yet to obtain a single one of these from the Barn. In the two days before the hotfix that I obtained L3 barn, I got 7.

Comment by gegzy

Stop rushing! You people expect the best epics to be handed to you on a plate! The expansion has been out just over a month and you want to be best geared ahead of the people that raid for the real rewards?

Personally, I don't raid with my guild as our guild has two sides, raid and social. But that doesn't mean I won't eventually head into LFR. I'm more than happy to just toddle along, get my gear as and when.

It's complainers like you folks that "want want want" without any effort that ruin this game.

Comment by R1NN1

Not a long time ago players were selling this item for 1,5-2k and it was actually good to grind for in order to get some money. Now I am really disappointed seeing it going at 1k only and I guess the price of it will just go down more and more.

Soon there is no point grinding any of these mats.

Comment by joecynthia

If you have a lot of alternates as I do, here is something you can do. A level 2 mine can be obtained by a character at level 92. It is very easy to raise a character from 90 to 92. Here is what I am doing to obtain savage blood. I have a main at level 100 with a level 3 mine, and 10 alternates at level 92+ with level 2 mines. I farm the mines each day. Presently I have 1,367 Primal Spirits spread across these alternates. Primal Spirits are bind on pickup, but Savage Bloods can be mailed between alternates.

Some of these Primal Spirits have come from 3 herb gardens which can not be obtained until level 96. As I obtain more herb gardens, the production rate of Primal Spirits will increase.

Good luck.

Comment by Speciale

In case you are wondering, assigning a follower to the barn will not increase the drop rate or chance of Savage Blood. It only effects the amount of Savage Feast, Raw Beast Hide, or Sumptuous Fur. Source: Reddit Warcraft.

Comment by Gordolfo

Beware! You can steal a prey from other players just by placing your tramp behind the elite beast at 49% health.

It does not matter if they have not hit the beast, this is freaking happening.

Comment by lujana

Just a comment for those of you that are having bad time farming those, I realized that if you use the Deadly Iron Trap in a creature that already has the "caged" debuff it awards one more Caged Mighty Wolf to start work order, tested this multiple times today with wolves in Nagrand, and each "encounter" awarded two caged beast instead of one.
Edit: This was fixed in 01/09/14 hotfix. Now it works as it "should" and is not possible to have more than one caged creature.

Comment by Draewind

To trap an animal, you must bring their health down to 50% or less. If you are high dps, have a pet, bodyguard, or trinket proc ... they will usually die before getting trapped. When you place the Iron Trap , it will sit for a second as it opens. It will not trap an animal during this period. Once it is opened, the damaged animal must walk over it.

I use the macro below to keep from killing them before they are trapped. Bring them to 50% then use the Iron Trap macro (below).

You trap animals (listed on the trap) to get one of the Caged Beast listed below. You then turn them in to the <Barn supervisor> either Homer Stonefield or Farmer Lok'lub. Depending on the type of Caged Beast you bring him, he will offer to start a workorder for:

Clefthoof or Elekk = Leathery Caged Beast workorder produces 8 x Raw Beast Hide

Talbuk or Wolf = Furry Caged Beast workorder produces 8 x Sumptuous Fur

Riverbeat or Boar = Meaty Caged Beast workorder produces 1 x Savage Feast

(Leathery Caged Beast Furry Caged Beast Meaty Caged Beast - MAY BE IN YOUR BANK to start the work order with them. They fit in the Reagents tab.)

With a LEVEL 100 follower working in your Barn (with the Skinning trait), instead of 8 you will produce 12, or instead of 1 occasionally you will get 2. Followers of lower level do not produce as much additional (stated in the tool tip Skinning).

Those of you that chose a Brewery for your Spires of Arak garrison, will have acquired Hulda Shadowblade at the end of your questline for the zone. Those that did not acquire Hulda Shadowblade, will probably need to find Goldmane the Skinner. When you free him you get Feline Friends Forever which rewards Follower: Goldmane the Skinner.
(Goldmane the Skinner)

Iron Trap allows the capture of Leathery Caged Beast and Furry Caged Beast.
Improved Iron Trap allows the capture of Leathery Caged Beast,Furry Caged Beast, and Meaty Caged Beast.
Deadly Iron Trap allows the capture of Leathery Caged Beast,Furry Caged Beast, Meaty Caged Beast, Caged Mighty Riverbeast,
adding the MIGHTY:
Caged Mighty Clefthoof, Caged Mighty Wolf, and Caged Mighty Riverbeast.

Leathery Caged Beast,Furry Caged Beast, and Meaty Caged Beast will always give the yield shown above, regardless the level of the animal you trap. A level 90 Clefthoof will give the same production from a work order as a level 100 Clefthoof.

Caged Mighty Clefthoof, Caged Mighty Wolf, and Caged Mighty Riverbeast will give 15/22 instead of 8/12 (without follower/with follower) and have the possibility of Savage Blood.

Deadly Iron Trap on Ironhide Bull gives Caged Mighty Clefthoof
Deadly Iron Trap on Direfang Alpha gives Caged Mighty Wolf
Deadly Iron Trap on Wetland Trampler gives Caged Mighty Riverbeast

---------------------------
TRAP MACRO
---------------------------

Instead of Iron Trap mine is now Improved Iron Trap or Deadly Iron Trap. (Everywhere in the macro where it says, "Iron Trap", I have added "Improved" so that now it says, "Improved Iron Trap" -- or "Deadly" and "Deadly Iron Trap".)

Type /macro into the chat window and your Macro Frame will open. There are two tabs at the top, General Macros and <CharacterName> Specific Macros. Click on the Character Specific tab and then find and click the New Button (bottom about center). A side window will open with a lot of icons, and the Red Question Mark icon selected. Leave the Red Question Mark icon as the icon selection and type in any name even a blank space will do in the top text area of the side window. So that I know it is a macro, I always give it some name even an X at times. I named this one TRAP.

Now click the Okay button and that side frame will close. Click on the large black text area to position your cursor into the text field, it should automatically be in the top left corner. Now copy and past the commands below into the window ... just as they are typed:

#showtooltip Iron Trap
/stopattack
/petpassive
/petfollow
/use Iron Trap

The first command makes the Red Question Mark icon turn into the Iron Trap icon.
Next is the command that stops your Auto Attack.
Next will put your pet on passive followed by the command to put your pet on follow.

All attacking has been stopped and the last act is to drop the Iron Trap.

Press the save button and the macro with the name you gave it and the Iron Trap icon will be there in your macro frame. Now you just drag it to an action bar (as you would any spell) and go test it out. And now you have made your first macro and have a bit of an understanding, you can go to:

WoWWiki Macro Slash Commands

And learn about macros a little more ;-)

Comment by azureheart

not sure of the drop rates per work order but i have picked up 31 work orders in a row...with my level 100 purple follower working there...and received only two savage bloods. so, is not a really high chance - for me.

Comment by ShotzHuntress

I find the drop rate on Savage Blood to be quite alright. I started all 26 work orders at my lvl 3 barn (only using Caged Mighty Clefthoof) and i received 22 Raw Beast Hide (from each delivery) and a total of 16 Savage Blood. I have an epic lvl 100 follower assigned to my barn with Skinning (Hulda Shadowblade).

You have a 15% chance on each work order to get a Savage Blood if you are placing orders for Caged Mighty Clefthoof, Caged Mighty Wolf and Caged Mighty Riverbeast. So, to clarify: it's not 15% chance on 26 work orders, but 15% chance on each work order.

Comment by TheMineKnight

Don't know if this is relevant, but I've gotten 31 Savage Blood from a total of 88 Work Orders from Elites.

Just wanted to let people know, since I don't know if I can send in info to WoWHead, and the Contained In section is blank to a Chance.

Comment by NildaHostar

As of 6.1 it can also be obtained by Alchemists with this spell Transmute: Savage Blood. You will need a skill of 1 in Alchemy and this recipe Recipe: Savage Blood to be able to transmute the matts into Savage Blood. It requires 50x Alchemical Catalyst and 7x Crescent Oil.

Comment by Michals

I have finished 20 work orders in last several days, only 2 savage bloods from them. Either there was some secret hotfix or RNG is working against me.

Comment by Shapingus

Looks like they can be acquired via missions as of the 6.1 PTR, too. Just picked up a 2-person 645 item level mission "Deathhoof" that rewards one Savage Blood.

Comment by Amalkatrazz

There is something really strage with SB proc in the Barn. Placed a cap of 21 work orders, got 4 Savage Bloods overall with a level 100 Skinner assigned to the building. So it seems to me that as of Patch 6.1, assigning a follower really affects the productivity - in a negative fashion.

Comment by KilledByVen

I would just like to note how relatively pointless the Recipe: Savage Blood recipe is. Given that the other methods are much simpler to farm, and the fact this transmute has a daily CD, unless you have an extreme abundance of , I have seen players making use of the which seems pointless, as you have a vendor available that sells the bloods for 50 Primals, which is exactly the same cost as using the cooldown-free creation skill, however without the wastage of herbs. Does anyone feel like the price at the vendor should be upped? Or the required catalysts dropped, for example to around 30?

Comment by athika

Shares cooldown with Transmute: Pyrium Bar, Transmute: Living Elements, Transmute: Primal Water to Air

Comment by ixyvi

Putting a worker with skinning at the barn increases your work orders. The Head Hunter in your Garrison Inn, who offers a new follower weekly with 1 trait or attribute of your choice, can be used to find a follower with the skinning trait.

Comment by Cinnamohn

100% chance from Barn orders as of Patch 6.2.

Comment by Artiana

As of July 4th, patch 6.2.0 build (20201), 1x Savage Blood now cost 25x Primal Spirit (down from 50) when bought from Ashley Zerep / "Appraiser" Sazsel Stickyfingers .

Also, Barn Level 3 now has 100% to award Savage Blood with work orders. Unconfirmed if it works with Barn Level 1 or Barn Level 2.

Comment by cg6568

72 straight work orders in my lvl 3 Barn with a lvl 100 follower working.

Grand total of ZERO Savage Blood.

WTF?

Comment by Cierona

Here's how to get a few more Savage Blood each day in exchange for garrison resources, in addition to what you can get through the Barn/Alchemy/Primal Spirit drops:

Build a Trading post on one of your characters.
Go out of your way on that character to collect more garrison resources (eg. hunt for Radiating Apexis Shards or chests in Tanaan).
Make a note of the trade material requirements for the following quests:
A Bit of Ore
Some Dust
Sumptuous Fur
Raw Beast Hides
Herbs Galore
When the trader at the Trading Post is selling these trade materials for 4 garrison resources each, purchase the required quantity for each 90+ character you have on that faction.
Distribute the resources to your 90+ alts, and each day realm hop them to the garrison of a player who has the daily trader at their Town Hall (Group Finder > Premade Groups > Custom > Find a Group). You are looking for people that mention Ore Trader/Dust Trader/Fur Trader/Leather Trader/Herb Trader.
Turn in the trading materials for their daily quest that rewards 25 Primal Spirit, then use that to buy a Savage Blood from the Primal Trader in the garrison (you can also trade any amount of trade materials to them for additional Primal Spirit, but the daily quests have a much better exchange rate).

Comment by trahc

This costs 25 primal spirits for me. Probably because of a patch that I missed to read

Comment by LionsMike

I think I read all of the posts and did not see anything mentioning a not well geared player farming the bloods Solo.

I have a Palli at ilvl 690. If I put on all my buffs, drink a draenic strength flask, eat a legion chilli, and use an augmented rune and I bring my level 3 bodyguard along I can sometimes survive long enough to capture 8 or 9 beasts. When My Body guard gets killed my chances of surviving get very close to zip so I have to leave. Has anyone found a way to farm them that is easier , or even f a bit more difficult has a better survival rate?

Comment by Darthpilsner

Since Legion started, farming Savage Blood is the only reason I go to Draenor anymore. One of the easiest ways to make gold now, I find.

Comment by BeauCharles

Solo farming is all over with as of patch 8.0. The elites all have 90,000 health while my level 101 stat squished Paladin has 18,500.

Comment by Nysmon

I collected all the solid numbers here (number of work orders and number of savage blood) and compiled them. A total of 993 work orders yielded 307 savage blood for a reported drop percentage of 30.92%.

I did not include those who said something like I got 1 per day for 5 days since that was too vague. If they placed the work orders late in the day did they count that as a day or ignore it? Similar issues with the last "day". Savage blood "per day" was just too vague and potentially inaccurate so those vague numbers were not counted.

Please note that I said "reported" which is crucial. We don't know for sure what the drop rate is even with doing an aggregate look. I put in a ticket when I got no savage blood from a couple dozen work orders. I was directed to a comment here on wowhead quoting a supposed 15% rate. For the 15% to be accurate that means a huge number of people aren't reporting when they get very few to none since the reported ones here give a 31% rate.

I've also come to realize that the standard deviation (a statistics term) is massively huge if the 15% is right. With two different GMs pushing the 15%, it seems that is the case. What that means is you can never count on the drop rate at all.

As for the comments like "it's not 15% chance on all work orders together, but 15% chance on each work order" - said here by at least one person and paraphrased by one of the GMs - they don't understand probability. The smaller the number of attempts, the less reliable any percentage is. But the larger the number of attempts, the closer one gets to that percentage unless there is something weird going on. What this means is you can't assume for a 15% rate that the 7th drop will be a savage blood if the first 6 work orders were a bust. 40 work orders could get you 6 but not necessarily. 100 is likely to get you around 15 plus or minus a bit. By 1000 you should have 150 plus or minus a only a few. Unless there is a huge standard deviation then the percentage stops having meaning.

TL;DR: Reported aggregate of approximately 31% rate on this page. But officially 15% is being pushed. Which means huge variability so the percentages don't have any real meaning. Some days all, others none.

Comment by Madr

Writing this comment during BfA, there is very little actual crafting use for Savage Blood anymore. It is unlikely you will want to expend the resources to upgrade any WoD crafted items; you'll level through WoD quickly and get better items from Legion quests and dungeons very soon after you ding 100.

If you craft upgrade items to sell on the AH, you'll have to charge such a high price to make it worth the mats that it's unlikely you'll sell many. Maybe it would be worth buying upgrades for a level 91-99 twink (is that even a thing?).

If you have an alchemist, at level 91 maybe you want to craft yourself one of the philosopher's stones (learned from Tome of the Stones) which will take 15 Savage Blood. These stones are BoP so you cannot sell them.

And if you have an enchanter, you may wish to craft Tome of Illusions: Draenor and sell it on the AH, which will take 15 Savage Blood apiece. This is the only ongoing, viable, profitable crafting use of Savage Blood at this time.

So if you find yourself with Savage Blood on hand and you're wondering what to do with them, you may wish to get 50+ gold apiece out of them by exchanging them at the Trading Post in your garrison for Bloody Gold Purse. If you don't have a Trading Post, you can go into the group finder and join a premade, custom group for garrison activities and visit someone else's garrison who has a Trading Post.

If you see Savage Blood listed on the AH for less than 50g, buy it and turn it in at the Trading Post for pure easy profit.
