inside the building mostly, quite fast respawn on the cocoons

Kommentar von Discord

Cocoons can carry different things - friendly targets, enemies, or just plain nothing.

Kommentar von 20402

For Hunters: Dont use your pets to break the cocoons, you need to melee them yourself to get anything out of them. I wasted 15mins myself breaking them with my pet and nothing.

Actually it gives 21,150 exp and 250 Argent Crusade Rep.

This can take a while since the rate for soldiers seemed to be about 6:1. The fastest way to do this is make a single mad run through the temple and use whatever instant cast abilities you have to break them open (DoTs work best). You'll get credit for the soldiers and the enemies will stop chasing after a few yards.

Kommentar von Backwell

You can see the contents of the cocoon. If you look near the base and it's blue. It will contain a troll, if there is noting but cocoon it will be the npc you're intended to rescue.

Kommentar von Darkprodigy

It seems when i move up close to the cocoon then back away and kill the cocoon, its a captive footman everytime. But if i kill the cocoon from far away it is a troll and if i kill it up close it is nothing.

For ranged, I myself tried releasing the cocoons from ranged 10+ times, 100% of the time a troll came out. Then I decided to use melee, and 3 out of 5 were argent soldiers. So it seems self melee is the only option.

Kommentar von 273364

Just did this as a 77 mage. When I released the captives with any of my fire spells or by beating them with my staff I always got a troll. Arcane explosion ensured the release of three soldiers in a row after about 20 trolls in succession. Weird.

Kommentar von 281298

I had to go through about 20-25 cocoons before I got all 3 captives.

Kommentar von Joensuu

Just open the cocoons with a normal attack! I did 6 cocoons with spells and no captives freeded. The i just used normal melee twice on each coccon and got all 3 in a row.

Kommentar von 292292

I just did this as a 77 mage, too.

The way you open the cocoons is not important. I got captives when using ranged fireballs, and I got trolls when using my basic melee attack.

I think it's random.

Kommentar von 278845

Its just like all those other free people from webs it seems, horrible free rate. So far 10 trolls in a row and not one single victom.

All around 52,69. Horrible rate of release. Try to do it with other q's from the q givers nearby.

Kommentar von 197620

It might just be coincidence, but if you have 0 runic power, it always opened for me, with a regular melee attack.

Kommentar von 99641

At 52, 67 I got all 3 of them in my first three openings, all of them from just one melee swing.

Kommentar von 88759

Just a heads up: you MUST do Rupert's portion of the Pa'Troll quest (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=12596) before the 3 other quest chains open up here.

Kommentar von 322555

the drop rate sucks! u hav a 30% chance of getting the guys from coccons

Kommentar von 327560

Just hit the cocoons and they crack open, they will either be a Drakkari Captive or a Captive Footmen. I opened about 10 or 15 cocoons and of course, 3 were captives. Easy quest over all.

Kommentar von Superspacemunky

I tried everything listed here to no avail. The zero runic power, checking for the blue base.. etc. Maybe it was just my luck but when I was giving up and headed back to the little hand in area I decided to use Icy Touch on one from its max range and got the captive. Did the same thing for the next two and voila, quest done.

Kommentar von 66075

All these posts about, 'don't use sinister strike!', 'go close then back up and attack!', etc. are ridiculous. Whether it is a troll or a soldier is determined when the cocoon spawns; there is no internal programming processing 'oh did this paladin have a seal on? how much runic power did this death knight have when he attacked?' it determines whether you have done the 400-or-so damage to the cocoon and whether you are on the quest.

Onyxia doesn't deep breath more. keep your absurd and ineffective hypothesizing elsewhere. it doesn't help.

Kommentar von 318722

I agree with xtrmntr, but after a couple dozen empty/troll filled cocoons, even the wildest theories start to look good. On a slightly related topic, I wonder why the trolls attack? You save them from being liquified and sucked up by a giant spider and they decide trying to kill you is a good way to repay the favor?

also, on the topic of wacky theories, it seemed to me that when i was able to "kill" the cocoon in one hit I had a much greater chance of getting either a captive or a troll... Prolly not related, but there it is...

Kommentar von 334755

well having tried a few of the theories put forward here, i can definitely say that it's random. btw as a mage who previously had a staff skill of ~300, it's now at 354. these cocoons are excellent for weapon target practice.

Kommentar von Eleftheria

I managed to kill exactly 28 trolls (As a warrior using just melee as suggested) before I finally abandoned the quest, save yourself a headache and skip it.

Kommentar von Cometcow

The theory about the base of the nerubian cocoon, im sad to say i could not confirm that, how ever, as blankace stated that some of these crazy ideas seem to give you a little hope, i have one of these crazy ideas, that somehow worked for me, if no victims come out, just trolls, i had a ratio of 3trolls to 1 victim, simply just make one of the trolls agro you, keep it like a pet, and go hit the cocoons, maybe this will work for you, Hope this helps

Kommentar von 292926

LOL, i was killing coccons outside the building for half hour and nothing, then i went inside the building and in the first 3 coccons, 3 footman appear! 3/3 inside the building ! :)

Kommentar von 65322

haha funny how i did this, i got 2 throlls in 5-6 tries, after that i killed about 10 coocons and nothing, so while i was killing the spider i used "killing spree" (combat specced rogue) it killed the coocon and released npc :D

Kommentar von Feranda

This is weird. I did this quest just a min ago and it was one of the easiest quest I have done this far. First 3 cocoons I destroyed (with Ice Lance and Fireblast) gave me soldiers and quest complete. All cocoons I destroyed were outside buildings.

Either Blizzard changed this or I had luck. Anyways it seems to possible to get good rate outside building too.

Kommentar von 218650

Think this is bugged at the moment. Opened 35 cocoons (not in a raid group, and have quest in log) no NPCs, only hostile mobs. Gave up and dropped it.

To be honest, any quests which involve random drop rates tend to be a waste of time - the killing X mobs or get Y are the best for XP and levelling.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I opened about 15 with no luck, until I put the pet on passive and used a melee weapon (instead of ranged). 3 of the next 4 were footmen. It was probably a coincidence, but it's worth noting if you're having problems.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If you have a pet, but them on passive. Just you attack the cocoon and within 10 minutes of starting the quest.
