The drop rate on these are horribly wrong. If you kill any of three mobs Giant Silver Vein can drop from (listed under the "Dropped By"-tab) while you have the quest it's a 100% chance of getting 1-3 Giant Silver Veins. I had to kill five in all, giving the actual item a 200% drop rate - this should be a lot closer to the right % then what the "Dropped By"-tab announces.

Solod as a fire mage at 56... have decent gear... word of advice... do not get hit :-) and they drop 1-4 veins per giant

Comentario de 90781

Many of the Giants that drop these at 71.20 but they are lvl 53-55 elites.

Comentario de Keepertje8

Weren't these items obtainable through gathering a while back? There are still unlootable veins near the Giants

Comentario de Thottbot

are these mobs all elite?

Comentario de Thottbot

well this is 1 elite u cannot kill at low 50s no matter what class u r without some serious buffing / purple eq. my 57 pally had quite a hard time doing it, no i don't have very good eq but i knew how to solo as a pally. didn't die but had to use up all my shields and sometimes a mana pot to kill 1, didn't even attempt killing the lvl 55+. good thing is drop rate is very good, dropped 3 in 1 go on 1 of them

for those who think they could solo elites 2 lvl above them so can i, but not giants/golems/dragons, they're on a different league

Comentario de Thottbot

Frost mage took em out (52-54's) with a bit of a fight but not too bad if you clear some room to run around -- these guys hit pretty hard. Each dropped 2 or 3 items.

Remembered I still had Mechanical Yeti and that made it cake, even took out a couple after I had all the quest items while the Yeti was still active - he survived all the fights too!

An advanced target dummy might help as well for solo ranged fighters, didn't try that tho.

Comentario de Thottbot

I soloed em at 57 as a priest i just went after the 53 lite giants in azhara some even drooped 3 gsv at once took me Abo 30 Min's to complete since i had to fish around for the low lvl ones

Comentario de Thottbot

Do these drop without the quest? I had gotten the quest but dropped it, I still had the vial so I was able to fill it in Un Goro Crater, and I was hoping to get all the stuff before I go back into BRD?

Comentario de Thottbot

As the subject says, my druid alt did the rock guys part when he was 56 without real problems. He had innervate and was wearing caster items.

Comentario de Thottbot

Soloed theses at lvl 55, druid! =)

Comentario de Thottbot

As a 58 priest, I found it easiest to solo Thunderers . Though Cliff Walkers are lower-level, they like to stun you when you drop to about 900-1000 health, exactly when you want to heal yourself. I liked killing these guys---about 900 XP rested.

Comentario de Thottbot

soloed as 57 destru warlock - trick is to keep feared at all times ... didn't even bother to summon pet - just fear fear fear... if they get too close: death coil saves you. did anything i found from 53-55 until i had all 10. only time i was a bit in trouble was when a 53 (like the above post) decided to stun me for 3 secs or so... that's a long time! anyway a potion and fear and i was back in the game ;D

easy q

Comentario de Thottbot

just fear them and DoT....easy as pie, if you feel cocky, take them 2 at the time. They re great for grinding xp to...i got like 1k a kill on rested

Comentario de Thottbot

A bit of advice for people trying to get the silver veins: Kill the Cliff Breakers, because they also drop a blue pattern that is worth some gold. The other giants don't, only the breakers.

Comentario de Thottbot

I'm a 57 shaman and I killed the 55's and under easily

Comentario de Thottbot

For druids, go bear form and use frenzied regen when you have 100 rage, i'm a resto druid and i can solo these just fine without using innervate.

Comentario de Thottbot

I did not die once and I was able to defeat the 52 and 53s. I never tried the 54s but don't think its possible for a 53 mage. I was only able to defeat them because im an ice mage and was keeping them back freezing getting lucky freeze traps. BTW I didn't see anyone post WHERE they are so here is where they are 54,85 and everywhere around it. Without cosmos you'll see them just past the dragonkin elites they are further east. Southeast of the entire map.

Comentario de Thottbot

With my frost mage i could down the 54's at lvl 54, so these are pretty easy if you keep them frost nova'd

Comentario de Thottbot

Where is the best place to farm these elite guys in Azahara?
cordinates please if its possible!

Comentario de Thottbot

52,80 in Azshara

Comentario de Thottbot

Not hard at all, just gotta keep a distance. Frost Nova, and cone of cold. Most of them mobs were 55 and 54 I encountered thow.

Comentario de Thottbot

I soloed them as a 55 Rogue total EZ mode!

Comentario de Thottbot

soloed as 56 holy priest, not easy but not hard.
had only problem with Cliff Walkers as they do stun.
52-54 elites at 52.80

Comentario de Thottbot

Doable as a 56 rogue, the 52/53 at least. Use all CD's and take your time.
I used crippling poison in slow MH and instant in faster OH
(crippling is good for staying out of reach if gouge fails or if you need energy)

Cheap shot, backstab, hemo, Kidney shot, backstab
Gouge (healing potion might be used here)and evasion
Sinister strike x2, Hemo, Cold blood, eviscerate.

If necessary blind + bandage

(backstab),gouge, backstab hemo, sinister strike (x2),cheap shot and backstab should make him fall.

Died 4 times in the process due to ui-failure (dunno if it's the new patch, but my stealthbar wont turn to normal after going in combat,
but after killing 4 I had what I wanted :-)

Comentario de Thottbot

The Silver Vein drop is more than 100% (if you are on the quest of course), only took me 5 kills to get the 10.

Comentario de Thottbot

soloed this as an lvl 53 fire mage !
cords seems to be right. at 52.80

Comentario de Thottbot

How would you do this as a lvl 59 Arms warrior?

Comentario de Thottbot

WoW. I am a 57 mage (fire spec) and coudl NOT for the life of me get down a 54. 53's and 52's are doable though. Good luck to anyone soloing this and take care to take out any creatures that might aggro on you and take the last of your health after the fight.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Following the advice here, I went for the Breakers and got the pattern on the FIRST drop! (Does Homer Simpson's "Woo-Hoo!")

PS. Also found that after you get the required nuber of items (you may be one or two over from the last drop), no more will drop.

I solod them quite easily (lvl 60 rogue); the lvl 52,53 and 54 ones were ok. I died on the lvl 55 ones. So (duh!) choose only the lower level ones. Drops are just as good (2 or 3 veins per kill). A green cape dropped for me from a lvl 53 one.

Comentario de Allakhazam

I went to Azshara and killed roughly 20 giants without a single drop.

I reckon you actually have to start the quest before you start killing the giants for the veins. Rather silly but typical of BRD questlines.

Comentario de Allakhazam

The pattern for blue dragonscale shoulders drop off cliff breakers, so farm those for the quest "The Love Potion" and you might get lucky. If you go to the south side of Azshara, you might want to swim out to Hydraxis and get his quests while you are there.

3 of these veins dropped on every kill for me, so it was only four kills. I did it solo by carefully choosing targets to avoid adds and resting plenty between fights.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Solod the quest easily with 56 rogue ... just aimed at the giants 52, 53 lvl . The drop rate was quite good ... about 2-3 per kill.

Comentario de Allakhazam

Coords 73,15 they are 4 or 5 on one spot

Comentario de SpamHard

Absolutely soloable for a mid 50s+ druid. Did this as a 56 resto druid, aiming for the 53 and 54 cliff thunderers to the south and had very little issue. Each one dropped 1 to 3 silver, had to kill 5 of them in total. For resto druids you can make use of everything and take advantage of that nice mana pool. Started with a couple of casting rotations; starfire, moonfire, insect, faerie into nature's grasp, back up, repeat the process. Once they catch back up, throw on a reju and a regrowth, refresh moonfire and insect, then go bear to tank the heavy hits. I just auto-attacked until health was below 1/2, then frenzied regen to use up all that rage and heal back to full. They should die at that point but if you're getting low on health again war stomp/bash, throw on another reju and regrowth (and moon/insect if you can spare the mana) and bear it again. Happy hunting to all druids out there, especially my resto pals.

Comentario de DadRage

I was able to solo the lvl 53 giants as a 56 Rogue, but I had to burn all my damage cooldowns as well as blind and bandage.

Comentario de scoolio

Soloed these as a 58 mage (Above average gear for level) without crazy buffs but some of the pulls were close calls (ice mage). Didn't use any potions but came super close a few times. I would kill the Thunderhead Patriarchs (Blue griffon looking things) and then pull the Elites back and forth between the dead Patriarch to avoid picking up a second mob. Be careful not to pull the Moosehead Courser's with AOE effects or you will die. It would be best to bring a friend for safety but if you're decently geared and careful you can solo these as a 58 more than likely.

Comentario de scoolio

If you've turned in the quest in the BRD bar area for the Love Potion quest and have some "extra" Giant Silver Vein feel free to delete it.

Comentario de Turawkemor

can confirm as of 11/28/23, i have killed about 15 of each of the 3 cliff rock elites. not a single giant silver vein has dropped. yes i do have the quest
