Got it on the 5th drop...close to the flock of Elites

Comentário de 18687

The drop rate on this item is VERY low. Been killing the whelps for about an hour or so.

Comentário de 78753

I got the heart after 3 kills...Sometimes its just luck

Comentário de Falkor

44000+ xp (non-rested xp); roughly 200 kills, to finally get this stupid heart!! finally lol. one of the lowest drop rates for a quest item I've ever had, i even got a Dark Whelpling pet before this dropped...

Comentário de 84025

Took me ~130 kills to get this heart. As a 46 rogue this took ~1.5 hours of non stop killing. No pet dropped though through out all these kills.

Comentário de 45924

Get hearth is about 20 kills. Low drop rate on WoWhead is about many people kill that whelps to farm dragon scales. Also, farm bots love this mobs aswell.

Comentário de meaky

Wow, this drop rate is absurd..

Comentário de mindfreak

didnt take that long, i just had to wipe the whole place

Comentário de 129218

Man...besides the fact that the drop rate is crap, this quest really sucks for a fire mage..XD

Comentário de Tripix

Had to kill about 120-130 (41-43 Scalding Whelp) to get an item. Awful drop.

Patch 2.4.1

Comentário de 152374

Sometimes you just get lucky, as it dropped for me on my first Scalding Whelp.

Comentário de 44749

Roughly 10 kills for me to get the heart.

Comentário de 125825

Got on the 6th kills =) hihi... yea it was "luck"... but im a fire specced mage -.-" so it was pain to kill these Whelps >-> omg... 177pyro (with 224fire+spelldmg -.-") ... Good luck for everyone^^

Comentário de 55632

57 kills.
35 minutes.

Comentário de bdobur

We've found our 25-30's kill. in 15 minutes, with a 44 Rogue, 44 Paladin and me (46 warrior). all group members can loot with one kill. Good luck :))

Comentário de 165279

Not going to lie this quest sucks.... the drop is very rare... I had to kill over 50 whelps just to get it!!!

Comentário de 168351

seriously Guys !! IT TAKE ME 3 KILLS !!! with a 48 warrior on Mugthol

Comentário de 144217

Just did this quest on my warrior, took me 4 kills to get the heart. Although i know what people are saying about the crummy drop rate took me absolutely ages on my paladin. Just gotta hope to be lucky is all :)

Norks

Comentário de 169060

the drop rate is really..extremely low..just keep farming and u will get lots of gold with..at least..i got few green and blue item when doing this quest..1st time i go for the elite dragons..then i go killing the small one.drop by the small one...

Comentário de xelixi

it took me 5 kills to get the heart on my 41 rogue

Comentário de 2915

Finally lucked out. Took about 30 kills. Best of luck to you all.

Comentário de 142688

I got it after my second kill lol

Comentário de 274970

Droprate is still terribal, killed about 60 whelps and the elites before I got the quest item.

Comentário de penfold29

Agree with the above - Takes AGES to get this to drop, one of the lowest drop rates I've come across so far. Good luck doing this it's a pain

Comentário de 292995

I killed about 10 of the scorched guardians before i got the heart. easy task for a lvl 45 paladin, using the fire resistant aura. :)

Comentário de Narielm

I Killed About 30-40 Whelp's And about 20 Guardians for this little Heart and i got a Whelping to (Non-Combat pet)
So when you do this quest dont just do it for the enchant thing and the Exp do it also for the Cute Little Dragon <3

Comentário de Granger

For skinners, this quest is a paradise (the longer it goes on, the more skins)...

Regardless, I got the heart after a level and a half of grinding these mobs :(. (41 to 42)

Comentário de joshua10

in doing this quest, i was lucky enough to get the black dragon whelpling non-combat pet from the non-elite mobs, and i was also lucky enough to get the heart 4 kills later, i decided to learn the pet instead of selling it for 100g on my server's AH

Comentário de 22642

Everyone knows that the Black Dragonflight is heartless. Expect to spend some time grinding them to find the one reject that has one.

Comentário de 307258

Found the heart on one after about 30 tries, Got it from one at 77.1, 63.6. It wasn't as easy as some of the other quest in Badlands but not to bad either.

Comentário de 367238

I hate to beat a dead horse, but this quest sucks! FINALLY got it to drop off a scorched gaurdian(elite) at 83, 58. Don't get discouraged, though. Be patient and it'll drop.

Comentário de Zizarz

This is the most annoying quest ever!

I killed around 150 drakes, then I skipped the quest cause it made no sense to search for it..

BUT....
Then I returned back for that new quest I had with the 3 stones. 1 small drake, the first I aggro'd unmounted me so I killed it, guess what item that was there? YES, the freakin' heart, and then after at the first stonething I aggro'd another drake without killnig any other drakes.. I killed it and guess what the loot was? YES, the freakin' non-combatpet that sells around 3k on my server!

actually, that was the luckiest moment in my entire life at WoW :D

Comentário de Szakiricky

I can't believe how Heartless those Dragons are....

(I'am currently on the quest, killed about 20 elites and 30 whelps, now....)

EDIT: Wow, about the 40th whelp droped the heart :)) no pet tough :(.

Comentário de Gwalchgwyn

Killed every single whelp and drake in the area for about 2 hours before it dropped at level 80 :/ Now to go farm Jazz'rik for Bloodsail rep.

Comentário de 384158

I only killed about 30 of the smaller whelps before it dropped, or approximately 20 mins of play time. Happy hunting!

Comentário de 300876

Got mine at the first kill, very lucky seeing the low drop rates. Good luck to get yours.

Comentário de metalliguy

I've been farming this item for about 10 minutes now.

Killed all the Whelps, no drops.

Killed one Guardian, got the heart.

I suppose the drop rate on Elites are a bit higher, or i'm really lucky.

-Amør, Hellscream EU.

Comentário de 462243

Goy mine after 20 Whelps and 15 Drakes, got it on a Drake.
If you're a Fire Mage, duel-spec Ice first.

Comentário de 342067

the heart dropped for me after killing about 20 scorched guardians. you just have to keep killing them.

Comentário de 481681

I gained over a 1/4 of my exp bar and i must have cleared the area of the whelps at least 10 times. But I finally got it on my 150th(?) kill.

Comentário de 314128

After 97 kills i came here to see if im doing something wrong. After that short break, aware now of the awful drop rate, got it first kill. Yay!

Not worth it unless you're a hardcore completionist.

Comentário de 84425

Cleared the area maybe 7-8 times, read some posts on it, then after about 6 kills it dropped. Pain in the ass, but the feeling of triumph you get when it does drop is wicked.

Comentário de Thomassi

Haha 10th kill, got it on a whelp

Lucky me.

Comentário de superkingryan

i got it in like 30 kills. no dragon though :-(

Comentário de Thottbot

oh and BTW I got in my 4th kill :) Fight the ones around 72,52. My last post sounded kinda silly. I was thinking along the lines of something like frost oil (a one time thing that last for x amount of time). One time use item, but enchantment style... It sucks if you get new weapons often though :\

Comentário de Thottbot

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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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%.

Comentário de Thottbot

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?

Comentário de Thottbot

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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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

Comentário de 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

Comentário de Thottbot

took 2 of us about 45 min killing everything and came off the whelps got myself a pet to :)

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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 :)

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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 =)

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

54 and counting and no Black Drake's Heart

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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

Comentário de Thottbot

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

Comentário de 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!

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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!

Comentário de 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.....

Comentário de 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)

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de 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!

Comentário de Allakhazam

47 kills and 3 hr and i got 1 ><

Comentário de Allakhazam

hmm...
the hearth wont drop...

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

stupid idiotic quest...

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de Allakhazam

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.

Comentário de Allakhazam

just got it on 1st drop ;) ALONG with a dark whelpling.

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de 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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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. :(

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de 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 :/

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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!

Comentário de 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?

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Edited, Sun Nov 13 01:24:43 2005

Comentário de Allakhazam

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

Comentário de Allakhazam

Got mine off the 3rd elite scorched guardian i killed

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Allakhazam

I killed maybe 20 dragons and drop it ^^

Comentário de 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

Edited, Sep 13th 2007 8:10pm by HebrewHammur

Comentário de Allakhazam

i killed them verry much some kind of 50 and no drop;/ this q is vMuch stupid to low drop:(

Comentário de Allakhazam

it does drop off the whelps, I got it after about 15 kills.

Comentário de Allakhazam

I'm getting tired of killing those welps, they maby give me exp, but they NEVER drop the damn heart. I've been killing them for almost 3 hours now. I'm giving it up.

Comentário de Allakhazam

Was just killing the non-elites with my fire mage, killed around 50 of them trying to get the heart before remembering why i never did this questline with any of my other toons. I was on my way out after looking up drop rate and got the pet, so while they have the same drop rate of ~1% i only ever got the pet to actually drop and i've try to do this with my rogue and mage.

Comentário de Allakhazam

I killed 5 Whelps and it dropped.. Guess I was lucky then! :)

Comentário de Allakhazam

I am fully convinced I will die of old age grinding for this damn heart

Comentário de ViiRuSV

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

Comentário de Malacasta

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.

Comentário de esspressonator

- Badlands (77,62)
- Dropped after about 12 Scalding Whelp kills

Comentário de nordiano

took me about 80 kill of whelps and 1 hour #$%^ you blizzard

Comentário de theanj

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de namwhan

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

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de 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.

Comentário de Khazi

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

Comentário de GnomeTBC

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

Comentário de 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
