Underbelly Whelp Scale (6)

Description

I need some underbelly scales from black dragon whelps to pay for the shoes Argus sent me from Goldshire. If you can get 6 of them for me, then I can pay Argus with some... and have enough left to fashion something for you.

Black dragon whelps are often flying around south of Lakeshire, but they like to wander. You might have to just keep an eye out and hunt them when you see them.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Black Whelp Boots
Black Whelp Gloves

Progress

I know that greedy Argus will send someone to collect his scales if I don't give them to him soon. Have you found those scales yet?

Completion

Thanks! These will get me out of debt to Argus...

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 170 experience (10 20 at max. level)
  • 350 Reputation with Stormwind

i found TONS of whelps at about 57,78. You can also farm them at 35,70 <or> South of the lake along the road, they spawn individually and are easier to kill. North of the road between the lake and the road, there are many of them that spawn and will not be easy as level 17-18.

I found these fun to fight for some reason. Their fireballs do a lot of damage but they drop some scales and when you skin them, you can get hides or more scales.

In order to get the 'Baying of Gnolls' quest, which leads to 'Howling in the Hills', and 'Underbelly Whelp Scales' quest, you need to do 'The Price of Shoes' quest and 'Return to Verner'.

I had a horrible drop rate. When I got one in six I felt lucky. Did nearly half a level just getting six scales.

I found the drop rate to be totally erratic. When my mage did this quest it took over forty of the them to get the six. A couple of days later I ran my druid through and he got 6 out of 7.
I also ran a hunter through and from what I can recall he did at least 20 plus.

The dragons have a fairly quiet aggro alert and instead of rushing you they hit you with fireballs from a distance, and those hit pretty hard at this level. I see a lot of people fighting a whelp or some other mob oblivious to the dragon behind them charging up a fireball, which often results in death. Otherwise the things are glass cannons.
