Description

Death does indeed have wings in these blasted lands, <race>. I have witnessed the black slayers and bonepickers feasting upon the corpse of many a fallen explorer - sometimes feeding upon the most vile and disease ridden of carcasses. It is a wonder, then, how their internal systems overcome the pestilence that claims these lands.

Assist me in my studies, <name>! Gizzards I need! Two snickerfang jowls will also be required for the base of the concoction.

You shall be rewarded two-fold for your efforts.

Reward

You will receive:
Gizzard Gum
The following spell will be cast on you:
Spiritual Domination

Progress

Do not waste my time, <name>. We have nothing to discuss, unless you have recovered the items I have requested.

Completion

Most excellent! I shall get to work immediately. Perhaps a cure for many of the ailments of the world is to be found!

Ah yes, your reward - of course, should you require more of the gum, return to me and another task you shall be given.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 470 experience (28 20 at max. level)

After running into the blasted lands from the swamp of sorrows you will see two quest givers to the right, you get five quests from them. this one sux because in the whole there are only about 10 vultures. It took me about 4 hours to get these done. Be careful of the dragon boss that circles about every 20 minutes.

The https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8396 Vulture Gizzard's are extremely rare. Only about 10-15 birds spawn in the entire area, that plus the area is crowded. Droprate is said to be 30%. Mine was alot lower, possible 10% droprate. Skip the two quests involving these, if you not plan to grind the area for 3-4 hours.

I recommend to do all the quests except the one where it requires 10 Vulture Gizzard, it takes hours to finish it..

despite all of the places the map says the vultures can be found, the only place I found them with any consistency were at 55,44 and 56,37. There were at least two at each of these sites with an additonal 1 which wanders between them. Respawn time is 3-4 minutes. good place to go back to over and over while doing all the other kill quests.

On the surface these quests seem like they'd be a quick little 20 minute beast killing session. But the only thing I wanted to kill after doing this quest for a while was myself.

This is without doubt the worst quest I've come across on WoW. Terrible drop rate on the vultures, all the beasts are easy to kill - so it seems pointless as to why it should be so hard to pick these up.

Try and get started on the vultures first, maybe get yourself about 7 or 8 gizzards before you start on the other creatures - because trust me, these quests will take you hours.. and it's no fun when you're just after the vulture gizzards and they're not spawning quick enough.

Try not to fall asleep while doing this one, folks.

Bad News

- Abysmal droprate despite percentages listed on websites; I estimate it to be about 16% off of the Black Slayer and Bonepicker.
- Basically, there aren't many more than six of them out at a time.

Good News

- Decent respawn time (seems to be about four minutes)
- They don't scatter so they are real easy to find when they do appear.
- They drop some loot that can get you a decent amount of gold on the AH (Giant Egg, Buzzard Wing, and maybe Mystery Meat).
- Easy to kill
- Can be combined with several other quests from the two quest givers.
- The gizzards can be bought on the AH, but I only them twice, each time with only one available.

I found a way better drop rate for the gizzards around (56,36)

Whoever designed ths and the other quests must have also worked on most of the Un'Goro Crater quests. Quests for items with low drop rates. Mobs that drop the items usually drop junk and sometimes nothing at all and while they usually have small aggro ranges, they're usually crowded among other mobs. While killing mob x, get ganked by mob y, and while fighting y off get sucker punched by mob z. Be wary also while talking to NPCs that grant these quests as they are often in the path of wandering mobs.

Edited to add that the vultures will hit you with Fevered Fatigue, a disease debuff that lowers both your Spirit and Intellect by 10 for 30 minutes. Again similar to some of the mobs in Un'Goro Crater.

Seems like they increased drop rate, I got all 14 Vulture Gizzards while farming other mobs for quests. I just came back every 5 minutes to clear 2 vulture spawns and got all 5 quests done in about an hour.

This quest does count towards loremaster of eastern kingdoms, although it's follow up Spiritual domination does not.

No matter how boring, a player should do anything for a good amount of xp.
