Webbed Pterrordax Scale (8)

Description

I'm making a flying machine!

I got stranded here, and I'm absolutely horrible at finding my way around. I'd take a gryphon or wind rider back to Gadgetzan, but those beasts just scare me to death.

So, will you help me? All I have left to build is the wings, and I was thinking that the webby scales from the pterrordax and diemetradon would be perfect. There's no way I'm going to go up against one of those, but you look pretty tough. Why don't you give it a try?

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Shizzle's Drizzle Blocker
Shizzle's Muzzle
Shizzle's Nozzle Wiper

Progress

Every great vehicle needs a name... I was thinking I'd call it... Pwned!

Completion

Yes, these scales are perfect. I should be able to get this flyer off the ground with these scales for sure!

Thanks!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 490 experience (29 40 at max. level)

There are two or three different flavors of both dinosaur types in Un'Goro. All of them have a chance at dropping one of the items.

Drops off of all of the Pterrordax and the Diemetradons.

I found that the best place to find the Pterrordax was by the large crystal pylon sites which are around the edge of Un'Goro. The Diemetradons are spread out all over.

Drop chance is about 30% for each scale off any of the above mobs.

Well this quest is a bit of a nightmare, as the Diemetradons are everywhere and the Pterrordaxs are no where to be seen. But i did find them, for those without Co-ords:

South of the crater at Terror Run, there is a hill with about 7 of them (they respawn quick).

With Co-ords just go to - 44,89

Despite the quest's level, it's best done at level 54 or above, as you are strong enough to take on the Elder Pterrordaxs at this level. The weaker flavor of these flying dinos are rare and looking for them will possibly involve a lot of travelling and waiting for respawns.

Another good spot for the pterrordax is on the Ironstone Plateau at 78,41. The drop rate and respawn time are both very good.

Pterrordax @ 56,10 - Around 6 of them so you may need to wait a while for respawns; don't know how quick the respawn is, discovered this spot while doing the Pylon quests.

Diemetradons @ Southeast of Fire Plume Ridge - loads of them scatterered around there, but pretty packed, so if you're a lower level you may need to watch out for mobs running in half-way through a fight.

And, as always, watch out for Devilsaur as he roams casually around the area and is surprisingly sneaky for a 50 foot high creature.

Get 2 other quests from the Marshal's Refuge if you want to save some time:

Roll the Bones: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3882 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3882

Beware of Pterrordax: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4501 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4501

The mobs you kill in this quest will also give you the quest items from these 2 quests, so it's a bright idea to carry all 3 to save some time.

I'd like to add that you can harvest scales at 77,82. The levels are 48-50 so it's easy enough :)

These are not part of the kill count quest though!

This quest is absolutely horrible. The quest items has a abysmal drop rate.

I have grinded from level 50 to 52 just trying to get the scales to drop. I do not recommend anyone doing it if you are easily frustated by quests such as this. (I sure am frustated after finally completing it.)

On the other hand, exp is exp, and is required to level up anyway.

Unless you're level 53ish, you want to kill the young version of these mobs to get the scales

at 77, 42 is a plateau with many fledgling pterrordax that drop the scales and are easy to kill

lvl48-49 and they don't have a fear, but a knock down instead. DEFINITELY the place to get these

the young diametradons are pretty much all over the NE quadrant

As of patch 2.3.3 I had about a 25% drop rate. I found the plateau's around the edge were hot spot. Several are mentioned in the above reading, as well as around 23,59. Just work your way around the outer edge of the crater. Anytime you see a path leading up the hill, follow it and you'll most likely run into a group of them.

(50.5, 10.9) right next to camp is a few unless competition cuts them down.
(56.6, 88.4) dozens of them.
(50.4, 88.4) two more.
(45, 87.5) bunch more.
Their move ""terrifying screach"" is REAL annoying. No walking away to get a cup a coffee while killing these guys.
A MAP of those four cords I just gave: https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=490:505108566883503885450875 PTERRORDAX LIVES IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Note that these cords are not where to find the other two types, Fledgling and Frenzied Pterrordax, but only the one just plainly named Pterrordax.

------------------------------------
Diemetradon's are all over but I found some lower lvl ones at:
(63, 36) three of them
(60, 50) three of them
(57, 55) ten of them there and surrounding area, mixed in with a very onry pterrordax
A MAP of the three cords I just gave: https://vanillawowdb.com/?maps=490:630361601500572551 A FEW LOWER LEVEL DIEMETRADON'S THAT I FOUND.

You can get these off of Fledgling Pterrordax and Young Diemetradons around the north east corner of Un'goro. Also, you should do the ""Roll the Bones"" quest with this as the bones you need (8 bones) will drop from these as well. I did it with my lvl 49 hunter and it did take more than a few mobs to drop the stuff. But its worth not dying, trying to face Elder Diems and Frenzyed Pterrors at a lower lvl.

Good place for Fledglings is Ironstone Plateau. Seven or eight flying around up there.

I got this quest today (20/12/2011) and it's telling me to collect 35x https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=11831"" class=""qundefined icontiny"" style=""background-image: url(images/icons/tiny/inv_misc_monsterscales_12.gif)"">Webbed Pterrordax Scale only, none of the other item.
So far (about 20 kills in) none have dropped.

You would think that if Blizzard has gone so far to say that a quest is obsolete and unfinishable, they'd at least take it out.

They really need to fix Un'Goro Crater.
