Mobs are in Zeth'Gor. Cauldron is in front of zeth'gor, about where the Z is on the map.

It's worth noting that the drop rate on this quest is somewhat less than desirable, so if it's taking you forever, it's probably not because you're doing anything wrong. I killed a whole lot of these guys before I got all my blood. Also, there is a 'bug' or perhaps a feature that some mobs in here spawn instantly after they're killed. Not quickly, but seriously, instantly. There was this one caster in a hut that I killed, the ones with the two skeletons, and every time I killed that caster it would immediately show up again, before I could kill the two skellies. This of course left me with 4 skeletons and a caster, and that was a pain. :(

They must be trying to make sure that they don't run out of mobs, which I appreciate, but it was a little crazy making.

Comment by brianjz

When you use the Cauldron, make sure you clear the surrounding area. Every time you boil 1 blood you get a mess of "Cursed Scarabs" that come out. Most of them are harmless, but a few are "red." They're easy kills, but annoying.

Comment by Orik

A good way to escape from the bugs is just run up the hill right when you boil the blood. Wait for them to despawn then go do it again. It takes about 5-10 seconds for them to despawn.

Comment by briyan

Tip: if you stand at the very edge of the little hill near the cauldron, you can boil your blood out of range of the scarabs that spawn.

Comment by orcishincubus

As a shaman, you can throw down your stoneclaw before boiling the blood, and then throw down your fire nova after the bugs spawn. Kills em.

1) Watch out for the Fel Reaver here

2) The scarabs disappear after a few seconds - boil a blood, back away quickly, watch out for other mobs, and wait for the cursed scarabs to die out. Easy as pie.

Comment by 119934

the peons around zeth'gor seemed to drop more blood and were easier to kill

Comment by Szili0

One of my most annoying quest what i've ever done in wow, the drop rate is very low, and thoose annoying scarabs -_-

Comment by 151989

Definitely the worse quest in WoW, at least that I have ever seen. The blood isn't THAT hard to get. I picked up a few, and then I grouped with some people in the area. They had a real hard time trying to get it but I didn't have too much of a problem. But, one problem that seems to arise is that if you are in a group, if you try to loot a corpse and it has the quest item on it and you DO NOT take it, trying to get your group member to take it seems to result in them not being able to loot it despite it being there.

The mobs aren't that bad. But like everything else in Hellfire they are tightly packed. However the other major problem with this quest is the cauldron you need to boil the blood in has several Necrolyte mobs around it. These guys cast fireballs that hit for several hundred fire damage and have what seems to be an army of skeletons at their command. These guys are extremely annoying, especially soloing. Not to mention that constantly patrolling the area are grunts or the mobs on wolves. So it wouldn't be hard to imagine you trying to kill a Necrolyte and wind up with a wolf, his rider and a grunt all trying to kill you.

Oh but wait there's more! Yes, because after you get all of the blood you need to boil it ONE AT A DAMN TIME. YES, TWELVE times. You don't just toss it all in at once and it says 'quest complete'. No you must clear away all mobs, put the blood in one at a time, wait for the scarabs to dissapear or kill them, then repeat eleven more times. Don't even think of doing more then one at a time because the scarabs that spawn will end up killing you. And let's not forget if you didn't clear all the fel orcs they could easily be aggroed by the scarabs.

If in a group then each of you needs to do this boiling, individually, for each one. However you may, "MAY' be able to get away with two members doing theirs at the same time as long as you run away from the cauldron. Be warned though there are MORE MOBS in the direction you would generally run (west of the cauldron) so be careful you don't aggro them.

And the reward?

90 SILVER! That didn't even make up for my repair bill on this one. If you really wanna do the chain, approach this quest with caution, a good group, and maybe a drink or smoke to keep ya calm. And watch out for those damned boars to.

Comment by makhael

Neat trick. After I got all my blood, I stood at 65.4, 71.7 on a small rise. I faced the kettle, ran forward and clicked on it. While it shook, I just backed up to my spot. The bugs left me alone, and the roving patrols of orcs on worgs never even came near me. One Grunt did spawn on the hill during the time I was doing the boiling, and a Necrolyte spawned in the purple casting circle. Both were easy kills and spawned once each. Better than fighting tons of orcs to do this quest.

Comment by 175908

Umm... contrary to popular belief, this quest is not that big of a deal. It does not live up to the hype of the "worst WoW quest evarrrr". Its a bit tedious and time consuming, but thats about it.

Comment by Jel251

THIS IS THE GAYEST QUEST OMG, I HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR AN HOUR AND HALF

wow....i had to come on here and rant on how gay this quest is....get like 4 70s to help you do it, cause the blood drops every 30 mobs

Comment by friedchicken17

I'm guessing they fixed the droprate the other posters are complaining about above. I got the blood to drop well over 50% of the time. I wouldn't recommend skipping this quest anymore.
And half of the red scarabs don't attack even if you stand down off the hill. they are 2 shots from my wand, or just ignore them and keep clicking the cauldron because any sort of AOE (or a couple Sinister Strikes for our rogue friends) will bring them down. The scarabs themselves are basically no harm to you even if you are wearing cloth.

Comment by ankorafeonix

I've noticed an increase in the amount of bleeding hollow blood dropped since one of the more recent patches. I'm getting about 1 drop for every two or three kills.

Comment by Stigmata

The drops are a bore, yes. The bugs aren't a problem.

THE TORMENTERS, HOWEVER....

Comment by tailsandy

This quest is definitely not hard, but it is rather time-consuming.

I recommend you work on Zeppelin Parts at the same time.

Comment by Sorenr

The worst quest I have EVER done. Takes forever to get the blood (around 50 kills. No, I am not exaggerating). Plus, when you have to boil the blood, it spawns about 12 scarabs that you have to kill before you can boil the next blood.

Comment by 748840

I wish you could do this quest with Blood Boil (as a Death Knight). So much easier. Just kill mobs with Blood Boil.

Comment by Gimroth

As of patch 4.3, the quest mobs still do not always drop the blood. Even though our apothecary friend seems to think that he is on the right track with his theory about the blood, one may conclude one of two things:

1) His hypothesis is simply wrong, since not all orcs drop the blood and therefore don't have it: the cause lies somewhere else.
2) His hypothesis is correct, but you have simply been too caught up in your butchering of orcs to leave some blood for collection, instead spilling it all.

The mystery remains unsolved...

Comment by Farzeer

Mages with ice barrier after 5.0.4 patch (personally i was fire mage);

1. Get the 12 bloods required for the quest
2. Kill all the mobs around the cauldron (Like 3-4 mobs)
3. Use ice barrier
4. Click the cauldron
5. Use Blizzard
6. Repeat steps 4-5 until you're out of ice barrier. Then just use the ice barrier again.

Took me less than 2 minutes to get the 12 boiled bloods.

Molten armor and Arcane Brilliance helps a lot!

Boiling Blood

Use Bleeding Hollow Blood at the Cursed Cauldron to make Boiled Blood. Bring 12 Boiled Blood to Apothecary Albreck at Spinebreaker Post.

	Boiled Blood (12)

Description

That last experiment was not a complete loss -- I did save a small bit of the blood you brought me. Now boiled down, it should be free of whatever curses the Bleeding Hollow witches placed on their people's blood.

I need more for study. Go gather Bleeding Hollow blood from the orcs in Zeth'Gor. When you've gathered the blood, bring it to their cursed cauldron and boil it. Bring me the boiled blood.
