The coord are correct for Winterspring. For those who don't have it it's the "Dun Mandarr" cave just west of the road. Also the Owl Wing Thicket on the east of the road at the same vertical coord dropped zero after 9 kills. The range of levels are 57-59 and they also drop Ironfeathers for LW. Total drop rate was 33% (5 of 15 kills) and the spawn rate is 8 or so min, but very few at Dun Mandarr so ur sitting a bit. There are also a TON of Owlbeasts in the NE of the map (Hidden Grove) but they also seemed to have a zero % drop rate.

they mean it's designed so the hunters 'track beast' ability alows them to find things easy

The drop rate on the rocs seem to be pretty bad.I dont care what it says i killed a bunch of them and havnt got 1 egg yet.Killed a few of the fire rocs and they seem to drop them everytime almost.So maybe they nerfed the drop rate on those rocs right outside Gam.Either way getting them is a pain in the ass.The fact that there isnt exactly alot of them flying around out there,others doing the same quest and the adds you get trying to chase these basterds down your best bet is to have an alt camped at the AH checking for them and move on to something more productive.

Hmmmmm...


Where?

Hey all!

Was following the info here trying to lvl my cooking skill but the best location to farm the eggs isnt even mentioned!

approx 61,55 in Winterspring there are dozens of winterspring screechers around with their 40% drop rate

previously I had been running all around everlook trying to get enough eggs this place gave me them within half an hour!

Hope it helps xD

I tried to kill some owls in Hitherland <sp>, but was barely putting a dent in them at 35. Since you can get the quest for cooking at 35 you would think some brain at Blizzard would have beasts you could kill with a decent drop rate for the eggs. The owls I encountered were 41 and up. I've killed other beasts that were 5-6 levels higher, but those owls must all be plds or something.

i remember it was hell to grind these for the artisan cooking quest, so instead of using them to make Monster Omelete, sell them on the AH. i made a bit of money doing this cuz there are some mobs that are higher lvl that drop the eggs with a much higher drop rate than the roc's that the questgiver tells you to farm for them.

True.

Hunter loot.
