Even though the quest says Elite , the heart drops from the whelps as well as the Bigger elite ones.
I got mine for my rogue from killing whelps about 2 months ago, now im getting ready to get it agian with my hunter.
Guild mates got them from the Whelps also, SO i can conform whelps drop them. Just have to kill then , alot , or get lucky on the first few kills.
Peronsally, unless your going to farm the Dragonscales, heavy and thick leahter, and fire gizzards, this quest isnt worth the time. The fiery enchant is an AOE dmg, and if your in a group, your not going to want that, becuase it will break mezzes/sheeps.

I believe you are the weighing factor in the drop rate.

2 people get the heart instantly, that means you should have to kill approximatly 300+ to find one.

Look at the 0.6 drop rate and think about what I just theorized.

Edit:
I believe 80% of these kills must be from players who do not have or have already done the quest. Therefore killing them will not drop this item and throw off the true drop rate.

I would say the drop rate is approx:
2.3% - 12%.

I'm a 45 Druid and spent the better part of the afternoon and half a level killing Scalding Whelps before the heart dropped. I even killed a few 43 elite dragonkin. Probably killed 200 of these stupid things before it finally dropped at 80,33 off a lvl 43 whelp. The xp is great because you kill so many things, but it seems to me you could get more xp by completing 3 or 4 separate quests in the time you spend completing this one. Unless you get lucky or you just want the reward, don't waste the time. I started to abandon this one, but at some point it became a matter of principle. Hope this helps some folks out there. Good Luck and Have Fun! That's what it is all about anyway, right?

I got the drop after 33 of the non-elites. It was good experience, I'm level 42, and I was getting about 250 experience apiece.

評論來自 Thottbot

It dropped for me at 78,62 from a lvl 43 whelp. I think sticking closer to the elites is the key.

評論來自 Thottbot

If you die on this queset its a real ^&*!@, you have to walk all the way back from the other side of the zone.

評論來自 Thottbot

killed at least 20 of these 44-46 elites so far (thank god for being a warlock) and still no drop

評論來自 Thottbot

rofl @ warlocks getting this enchant, tell me how the aoe damage works out for ya

Yer gonna hate me :( 3rd small one I killed dropped it.

評論來自 Thottbot

as a lvl 43 hunter with the fast cat, i was grouped with a 43 mage we killed about 10 eleits and got the drop. it was loads easier in a group to do some killin...fyi skinnere, lots of heavy leather in this area

評論來自 Thottbot

sorry bout the spelling, kinda tired going on 24 hrs no sleep...stupid job;)
for skinners there is a lot of thick leather in this area

評論來自 Thottbot

I got mine off a Scalding Whelp after killing for about an hour and a half.

評論來自 Thottbot

I killed about 20 and it dropped just like they said.

評論來自 Thottbot

Killed alot , on the way down to the elite dragon's.. Then i was waiting , on my pet to get health back , so a Whelp respawned , i killed it , and get the item (:

Cords: 80.82 :)

Me (lvl 41 Pally) and a lvl 42 warrior at the same time got ours at coords at Badlands.

評論來自 Thottbot

Amazingly got it off the first whelp I killed, so either they improved the drop rate or it's time for me to go buy a lottery ticket

評論來自 Thottbot

The quest says from a 'still beating' heart. I got it from the 4 kill. This one I looted before the body hit the ground. Someone else can try, but I bet that is it.

評論來自 Thottbot

Dropped from my 4th kill, around coords 72,57!

評論來自 Thottbot

My friend was here and did the quest... first blazing emblem drop ( a blue trinket for lvl 38) and then like 6-7 more kills the freaking Q item drops. and that was in like 10 min

評論來自 Thottbot

32 small ones, 6 big ones and got the drop from one big.

Well worth the time spent.

Except now some freaking idiot named rakettikeiu is CCing me.

評論來自 Thottbot

Well, I was doing this quest and killed appoximately 12 dragons. Then, I decided to come here to check the drop %. After seeing it's low drop, I checked the comments, and found a suggestion to loot immidiatly after the dragon's death.

So, I did. And, 6 kills later, it dropped. Thats better odds than aroudn 1 in 140 or so.

The thing is, even if this technique doesn't work... It's still worth the trouble to try. It worked for me and many others, and the clues add up.

Try it =)

評論來自 Thottbot

First Scalding Whelp dropped one, however I have done this quest 4 times now with different characters and I have had to kill 20 or 30 previously. Just get in there and kill everything, one will drop.

評論來自 Thottbot

Killed 20 or so whelps with no luck, then went to 72,52 as posted way above, dropped on the first one. Have seen this with many other quests. Thanks for the coordinates.

評論來自 Thottbot

I tried the "ninja looting" technique without success for a good 3/4hour and 50-odd whelps.

In the end, however, I did drop the heart at 72,52 on a level 42 whelp.

評論來自 Thottbot

get a ravager any level dont care if level 70 and put it on it and pretty nice to aoe with

評論來自 Thottbot

Killed about 100 whelps before getting it + about 20 dragon guardians. Really boring..

評論來自 Thottbot

Mine dropped off a whelp near 75,64 right next to the three bones sticking out of the ground

評論來自 Thottbot

54 and counting and no Black Drake's Heart

評論來自 Thottbot

I got it on my 5th Drop :0
i guess im just Lucky

評論來自 Thottbot

Spent an 1 1/2 hours grinding for the heart. Not a big deal since the XP was great. I tried the method of looting before it hit the ground. This is probably silly to think it is going to change what drops but I did it anyways.

Location: 83,33

Its a random drop so chords don't really mean anything once you have the general location.

評論來自 Thottbot

guys i just got one off my first kill and it was a non elite to =)

評論來自 Thottbot

Camped at 72, 52 to hit the whelps there and in the surrounding area....30 minutes and no drop. I do not believe this is coordinate specific.

評論來自 Thottbot

I had the pleasure of getting the heart in 139 kills tonight... I was able to keep track by the number of whelps I skinned.

評論來自 Thottbot

Found my Black drake heart at 73,52, i think its cause the high levels there 42, 43 whelps

評論來自 Thottbot

got mine at 74,63 after killing about 8 little ones and 4 big ones, i got it off a little one

評論來自 Thottbot

I killed enough whelps to get 1/2 lvl then I quit. Almost made a gold though.

評論來自 Thottbot

118 kills, 35 elites and 83 whelps. Ridiculously low drop rate.

評論來自 Thottbot

wow, got it on my second kill, lucky or what?

評論來自 Thottbot

I was a lvl 43 Night Elf Warrior when I did this quest. I got the heart from a Scalding Whelp at 43,53. I did have to kill about 25 to get it. This takes a long time. DO NOT TRY to kill any of the elite dragons - big waste.

評論來自 Thottbot

Second kill, Off the Whelplings, very top of the Ravine. 81,36

評論來自 Thottbot

i have killed the elite alle day and wen i was going to logg of i killed a whelper and it droped on the first kill

評論來自 Thottbot

Finally got it. Took about 1.5 years non-stop grinding 4h per day :D

評論來自 Thottbot

took me about 1 hour , counted 97 dragons (: and oh yea got 5 g 7 bars of xp as lvl 43-44 and uhm green item dropped . so was it worth it ? .... NOOOOOOOOO!

評論來自 Allakhazam

In reference to the drop rates, note that the Black Drake's Heart is a quest item. That means that it will only drop for, or be visible to someone who has the quest. Since Scalding Whelps are good for farming if you want Dark Whelpling or small flame sac, it's logical that people have done these mobs without the quests, and it's probably been done a lot, thus horribly skewing the numbers.

評論來自 Allakhazam

A quest item with such a low drop rate?... This is stupid. I'll prolly end up with a dark whelpling before I get this damn heart!

評論來自 Allakhazam

...or why you should always read allakhazam first.

Seeing it was a lvl 45 elite quest, I assumed that it must drop off some elite dragons. Prowled in, found the scorched guardians at the back, selected the highest level elite there (44) and attacked. Starfire, Wraith, Moonfire, Faerie Fire, Dire Bear, Demoralising Roar, Bash, Maul Maul Maul Maul, Human, Healing Touch, Faerie Fire, Moonfire, Dire Bear, Demoralising Roar, Bash, Maul Maul Maul Maul die with 1% to go on Dragon. :/

So on my way back as a wisp from the other side of the Badlands I check the site, and find that it doesn't even necessarily drop from them anyway. Rez, select nearest whelp, kill it.... omg, pick up the heart.

That's right, first whelp I kill.

Maybe they've upped the drop rate.....

評論來自 Allakhazam

Have killed well over 60 with no drop. I am lvl42 rapidly nearing 42 have made around 30K xp so far. But this is trying my patience. (just got it at 79 kills)

評論來自 Allakhazam

I got the heart maybe after about 13 kills of some whelps =P

評論來自 Allakhazam

47 shammy. took me an hour or so and allot of kills to get the heart. I didnt bother with the elites. they drain too many resources and too much time. 77,35 confirmed coords. Just keep killing till you get it!

評論來自 Allakhazam

hmm...
the hearth wont drop...

i've had my bags ful 3 times and it still hasn't drop...

stupid idiotic quest...

Killed about 100 now. reading from my loot. and not a drop.

I KILLED WITH A FRIEND 68 Pally
Nr .11 Elites Guardians
Nr. 30 Whelps

And some night before solo I killed 30 more whelps.

WE BOTH GOT NOTHING !

STUPID QUEST AND A SILLY REWARD.

33.3% drop rate for me. found the heart at 77.35, from an scalding whelp

Woot! Just got it, about my 45-60th kill. Gonna go turn it in and see how it is! =)

評論來自 Allakhazam

Dropped off the second non elite whelp in the zone. quite happy after reading how much troubles others have had.

Dropped at 74 / 58

評論來自 Allakhazam

70 prot pally. I killed 5 before the heart dropped, go for the elites and I think they will give you a much better drop rate.

評論來自 Allakhazam

I started killing whelps around Lethlor Ravine for about 20 minutes. I leveled to 43 and the next drop after my level up was the heart. But the drop rate is %^&* indeed. :(

評論來自 Allakhazam

iv been killing those Scalding Whelps for 3 hours now... never drops :/

評論來自 Allakhazam

I killed like a hundred of these damned things before I got a drop.
I had planed to use the xp from this to help me level, instead, I leveled from grinding them trying to get a drop :/

評論來自 Allakhazam

First kill and I got the hearth... so I was VERY LUCKY!

評論來自 Allakhazam

I really enjoyed killing thos elites, getting between 996 xp and 1080 per kill, too bad i found it already after about 8 kills or so, my 2nd lvl 43 i found dropped it so on that mob it's a 50% drop for me. Good luck.

評論來自 Allakhazam

6-13 I killed 2 non elites and got it on the second one :)

評論來自 Allakhazam

In keeping with the spirit of the quest, I decided to only kill the 43-45 elite Scorched Guardians. I was a 49 warrior and leveled to 50 during the quest. It dropped off the 64th dragonkin and took about an hour and a half.

評論來自 Allakhazam

Just for the record, I was gunna do a quick flyby to Badlands and get this quest off my list. needless to say, this item has one of the worst drop rates (ive picked up 2 blue items, 6 green items, and a few gems, yet NO Black Drake Heart.)
----
lvl 44 gnome lock:
demonology spec.
----
Gold earned since begin quest: 4G
XP earned since begin quest: ~80,400 (16 bars)
2 blue items
6 green items
3 gems
2 lockboxes
30 small flame sacs (6 stacks)
and I leveled to boot.
----
Killed:
non-elite whelps (39-42): ~90
elite guardians (43-45): ~40
----
and yet, 0/1 Black Drake Heart!

評論來自 Allakhazam

well, ive killed about 30-40 of the whelps, and about 5 of the elites...still no dop, however I did get two of the welplings....so am I lucky for getting them, or unlucky for not getting the heart?

評論來自 Allakhazam

I did find a Dark Whelpling and I still have no heart ! lol

Got 2 Dark Whelplings that sell for 70 gold each, no heart still..I usually grind them for 1 hr or so.

評論來自 Allakhazam

Got mine off the 3rd elite scorched guardian i killed

評論來自 Allakhazam

Based on how much exp I got while doing this quest, and how much per kill... I figure it took me about 30 kills to do this quest.

評論來自 Allakhazam

I killed maybe 20 dragons and drop it ^^

評論來自 Allakhazam

I killed 12 elites and 53 nonelites before one of the whelps dropped it for me

Wasnt hard to do on my 44 pally though, judge light and then throw on righteousness and watch tv.. or for the elites seal/judge light and keep light refreshed, maybe stun and heal once

No whelplings dropped for me either

killed 200+ Finally got it.... I want to kill myself (classic wow)

評論來自 saskiaderksen

Just for people wondering: yes, if it drops it drops for everyone in your party from the same dragon. So you don't have to continue killing more for everyone to get one.

Party drop - when it drops, it drops for everyone in the group. Don't shy away from grouping.

評論來自 gildagger

Just did this today ( 11/26/19) . Thought because it said elite you have to kill the elite mobs. Not true. Killed 2 or 3 elites, then tried the lesser dragons. Dropped on 6th or 7th normal one. very easy.

Come on Blizzard, a quest item should never be a 1% drop rate... between this, buzzards, and lost fragments.. waste of time.

評論來自 SirGrahame

I was about to give up, came here, saw the drop rate was low and decided to keep going. 3 kills after that, it dropped. I had cleared the ravine about 7 times over 3 days on and off. Go figure...
The reward is pretty good though. Nice buff.

評論來自 Manleyman

Took about an hour and about 100+ whelp kills to get this to drop (Wotlk Classic). Also killed about 15 dragon guardians, but no drop and not worth the extra time to knock them down - stick with the whelps.

評論來自 Khazi

Took about 50-70 kills, so 1.5-2 % droprate seems accurate. (whelps only)

評論來自 GnomeTBC

It took an hour, so 0.4% chance of drop seems to be right.

評論來自 Killigann

I lost count pretty early on, but it went like this: I killed maybe a dozen or more and then used a round of my favorite pots. An hour later the pots ran out and I killed another dozen or so, hoping for the best. Downed another round of my pots and was thinking about unbooning my wb's that I was saving for Uldamon to speed the process up. Finally dropped after 7 minutes into my second round of pots. I would say in the neighborhood of 100 mobs, so the 1% drop rate seems to be accurate.

There are comments about the droprate getting skewed because the item only drops for ppl with the quest, but... most ppl on these mobs are there for the quest so... I don't think it's very skewed. Iike I said took me around 100 kills for 1 drop. Lots of leather and vendor goods, no blues/greens. Not a fun grind either tbh.

btw, The fiery enchant reward is s/b but useless for a caster. You can enchant a weapon with it without it getting s/b, so you can mail the enchanted weapon to an alt or put it on ah
