Thick Yeti Hide (10)

Description

My philosophy on leatherworking is that the work must be the best quality possible - no compromises. Anyone who says that quality doesn't matter is trying to sell you ocean-front property in Dun Morogh!

In my latest pursuit of high-quality materials, I have run across thick yeti hides. The Yeti are native to Feralas, with many found in Feral Scar Vale. I want some, and I'll give you a choice of one of my leather goods for a stack of ten. If that sounds fair to you, then we're in business.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Pratt's Handcrafted Boots
Pratt's Handcrafted Gloves

Progress

A stack of ten thick yeti hides will net you a choice of one of my crafted items. Because I care about quality, I am able to ensure you'll get a good item!

If you can't seem to find yetis, I know where some might be. Try looking just inland of the Forgotten Coast, around Feral Scar Vale.

Completion

Did you stop and examine the texture of these hides? Properly treated, these hides could very well be stronger than iron. Not many people know about these hides, and that in combination with the vast treating solutions I know will allow me to potentially make items with a true mark of quality... thanks to you, of course!

And now, please choose from what I am able to offer you for your service!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 405 experience (24 30 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Darnassus

For the non-skinner: This quest is doable. you do NOT need to be a skinner.

For those that are skinners they can also get a possible drop of the Thick Yeti Hide making their time in the cave shorter.

Note: The cave is just on the other side of the 'cave entrance' which is just really a tunnel to the actual cave.

Easily completed this quest w/ my 42 feral druid, all cat form.
55,56 is the mouth of a cave, go thru it to the next cave, which is full of yeti, mostly 45 & 46 in there, a few 44 outside the caves. I easily ran thru them all w/o heal, killed about 8 straight before health got below 50% and I tossed on a heal. The 46 gave me trouble, had to switch to bear mode for a moment while the DoT heal did its job. Probably took about 30-40 kills to collect all the hides.

With a skinner it took me 13 Yetis:
6 dropped the hides
4 yielded hides on skinning
(2 yetis did both)
All of this outside at 56,56

EXCELLENT quest for skinner/leatherworkers. Lots of mindless mobs with great drop rate for heavy/thick leather.

Pretty easy quest as a lvl 49 warrior and lvl 49 Priest but the drop rate was astonishingly low. We cleared the cave and all the yeti outside and only after hitting the cave a second time were we able to get all the hides we needed. A skinner has a definite advantage here.

You can NOT get the hides from the Rage Scar yetis at 54,32. I learned this the hard way.

As you're heading out of the cave, don't forget to https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2767 Rescue OOX-22/FE if you've picked up https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8705 OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon.

i got the hides when skinning 100%, you don't even need to go in the cave, 7-8 of them should be enough

edit: had about 300 skinning skill

Does this quest give credit to Loremaster of kalimdor?

If you're doing https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4124 The Missing Courier questline, I suggest you choose the boots, since the last quest in that line will reward you with https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=34417 better gloves.

(Though if you are doing the quests at their approperiate levels, the gloves will last a little while).

Confirmed 100% drop rate from skinning. Extremely easy quest at level 44 with skinning; took all of three minutes.

As others have said you do not have to have skinning to complete this quest, it just makes it go a lot faster.

If you can, do the quest https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2766 Find OOX-22/FE! at the same time, they dovetail quite nicely.

This quest was made for skinners.
Finished it in about 4 minutes minus travel time. Didn't even have to enter the cave or fully clear the mobs outside.

The cave at 55, 56 does have Yeti but that type, i found, does NOT drop The hide needed. the cave at 52, 31 the Rage Scar Yeti drops the hide. I got them all clearing the entire cave once as a nonskinner.

Edit: Actually the cave at 55, 56 is for the next quest [Improved Quality].
