Hardened Tortoise Shell (9)

Description

My brother is working on a new fuel for his rocket car. He's brilliant, he really is. So brilliant that... I think that new fuel he's designing is strong enough to eat right through the car's chassis!

I want to reinforce its fuel tanks before that happens.

The tortoises out on the flats have very hard shells. I want to use them to create new tanks for our rocket car. Tanks that can hold my brother's new fuel.

You look responsible enough. Will you get me those shells?

Reward

Also, you get: 25

Progress

My brother is making progress with his new fuel design, and that has me worried. I need to start work on a tortoise shell fuel tank as soon as possible!

Completion

You got them! Thanks, <name>!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 245 experience (14 70 at max. level)

The turtles that you kill for this quest also drop Turtle Meat (https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=3712 https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=3712).

SAVE IT!

You'll need it for the quest ""Soothing Turtle Bisque"" in Hillsbrad. (Alli: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=555 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=555 -- Horde: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7321 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7321)

Can be easily solo'd by levels 28-30, if you focus on the turtles in the north -western corner of The Shimmering Flats. They are around levels 30-31.

Drop rate on this is horrible. All turtles will drop though. Not necessarily just the snappers. I killed 10 turtles and got 2 Shells.

All the other quests in this area have reasonable drop rates, but this drop rate is painful after the others, so be patient. Just doing turtle shells and nothing else took me around 40 minutes. The upside was that my last toon is a skinner, and it was so mindless I could read the news on my other monitor.

I've been trying for these suckers for 2 hours solid. The drop rates been reduced far below the 30% quoted on this site... probably since 2.3. I would conservatively estimate Ive killed 100 of these since I started the quest (amongst finishing the other quests) and gotten 8 shells.... so a drop rate of 5-20%. Spawn time I guess is over 10 minutes so god help you if someone else is in the area!!

Not worth your time, skip it and pickup the XP somewhere else.

I found a large group of Sparkleshell Tortoises at 83, 55. They had a pretty good drop rate for this quest.

I did this quest on two characters on Patch 2.4.2. The boat is NOT the best place.

I found that the lower level turtles near the northwestern entrance 70,60 had almost 20% drop after I'd killed over 50 turtles near the boat.

All of them are 30-31, so they are easier to kill anyway. Just have to watch out for other mobs in the area.

The drop rate for the quest is horrible, unless you focus on the turtles in the north-western region of the Flats. These turtles are level's 30-32, and the drop rate from these turtles is higher than the drop rate from higher level turtles.

the drop rate sucks but the xp doesn't hurt at all...was long and boring since no one is in the shimmering flats tho but made enough money to help me get my mount soon anyways
