in my opinion you should definetly do this quest, reason being is if u do a quest with a 20 percent drop rate thats just more exp, try around 65,41

This was a pain as a Frost Mage lvl 53. They have a lot of Frost Resistance, so beware ;)

There is also a cave at 68,42 full of ice yetis and more tightly packed too so easier to work through. I'm on a PvP server so I did most of the quest in there to avoid ganking, you might want to do the same. :)

The real reason to do this quest is because you are an engineer and want the tranquil mechanical yeti. You finish this quest first and then this quest https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8798 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=8798 appears and you get the recipe. Enjoy!

Keep in mind that only Ice Thistle Yeti and Rogue Ice Thistle drop this item! Do not kill either the Patriarchs or the Matriarchs because they don't drop it. There are a lot of Ice Thistle Yeti around 67,44.

In Winterspring Ice Thistle Yeti's hang out in abundance around a cave loacted at 67.41. I experienced a 0 drop rate on the fur's If I took down any other type of yeti other than the Ice Thistle ones. I would recommend picking out the Ice Thistle Yeti's to complete the quest the fastest. Also the cave at 67.41 is where you need to go to complete the next quest in the chain.

Make sure to kill the Ice Thistle Yetis only. Nothing else will drop them.
My kills:
Lv. 55 Yetis - 6 Fur / 12 Kills - 50% drop
Lv. 56 Yetis - 4 Fur / 16 Kills - 25% drop
Have fun!

Worst drop rate ever for a quest =/ Two hours later and I only have 7 of the 10 furs I need. This is also avoiding the Matriarchs and Patriarchs per instructions above.

the drop rate is really good right outside the city, me as a level 54 hunter got it done in under twenty minutes. the yeti's can be skinned though i do not think you can get the yeti furs from that. good luck all!

Best spot: 65, 41

I believe they have upped the drop-rate on the furs. I completed this quest in about 15 minutes as a level 54 fire mage. It took me 14 kills of Ice Thistle Yetis (not the Patriarchs or Matriarchs) to get the 10 furs required.

56,29, work your way down the hill and back up again. You should be able to complete the quest in about 15 min. Drop rates are 50 percent in your favor. Skin them as well if you are a skinner.

I'm about halfway through this quest, and doing the math, I'm getting a 15% drop rate.

cords 66, 41 found a ton of them. range from 55-58, took about 25 minutes to do, drop rate was 34%. Can skin them for thick leather and rugged leather.

237 Rugged Leather
118 Thick Leather
78 Wicked Claws
52 Roasted Quail
21 random greens
3 blues
1 epic
7 stacks of Thorium
3 stacks of Mithril

and 2 levels before I saw the last of the furs drop.

Did this with a group of four. Frost mage, Enhancement Shaman, Feral Druid, Disc Priest. We were killing things faster than they could spawn. Nobody else in the zone at all.

Took almost 4 hours. Far too long for 40 pieces of fur that should drop easily.
Not to mention we went from Unfriendly to Friendly farming furbies while waiting for respawn. &gt;.&gt;

If you're going to do this quest? Bring something to amuse yourself during respawn. I was shocked at how long it took us. None of my other characters went past 30 minutes total, even in full 5 man groups, fighting bots and other groups for spawns pre-BC.

Uh, either the drop rate has been fixed or i was very very lucky because i honestly got all 10 furs in about 15 mins like any ordinary quest. Don't let all the above comments scare you if you're not afraid of a little grinding imo.

If you are reading this thinking ""omgz dis quest looks liek fail"" - ignore these other people who missed the post that says: IGNORE THE YETI'S TO THE WEST OF EVERLOOK, GET THE ROGUE YETI'S TO THE EAST.

Much better droprate.

As of patch 2.4.3, the furs will also be dropped by the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7459 Ice Thistle Matriarchs and https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7460 Patriarchs.

I did this quest as a 52-53 Orc Warrior (dinged half way through) and i did it all off the Ice Thistle Yeti's and it took FOREVER i only got drops about every 4-5 kills so i would definantly do this with Rogue Ice Thistle Yeti's unless u like to kill alot of things?

The fur's seem to have a 100% drop from skinning ^^ took me only 8 kills or so to get the 10 required furs.

Just as a heads up for those frost mage's out there (including me) these guys have a pretty good frost resistance so expect to be hitting half what you normally would with frost spells. Also, they will resist most of them anyway so try to use fire for these guys.

Got the furs today very fast. Killed the yetis infront of the cave at 65,41. Must have been buffed in some patch, because it was much worse last time I did this (during tbc)

By ziggy29 on 02/17/2011 (Patch 3.1.3)
I agree with the folks who mentioned that the drop rates were much better in the caves. I killed probably 15 of these outside the cave to get my first two, and in the cave the drop rate was probably closer to 40-50%.

This quest doesn't require level 52, by the way. I went through it all with a level 51 tank warrior rather easily.

This place would have been paradise if only I had skinning on this toon.
