Gray Bear Tongue (10)
Creeper Ichor

Description

Ah, another wretched day in Tarren Mill. All of this clean air puts me in such a foul mood, <name>.

The sooner we can plague the humans here, the better. I've been conducting intense studies on possible killing agents to use in my concoctions but I haven't the time to collect them all.

If you want to make yourself of use, procure the following items for me: 10 Gray Bear Tongues and the very rare and hard to find, Creeper Ichor. You'll find both bears and creepers just outside of Tarren Mill.

Reward

Also, you get: 1 50

Progress

I see you are back. I hope you were able to gather the agents I need. Another deathless day will put me in such a gloomy mood.

Completion

These specimens are perfect. Well, <name>, you have managed to bring me the slightest hint of joy on yet another miserable day. Your efforts are appreciated.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 18 experience (1 8 at max. level)
  • 25 Reputation with Undercity

This quest is usually quite frustrating. The Creeper Ichor has about a 2% chance to drop so you could get it on your first spider or your 500th.

The Grey Bear Tongues aren't that common either, about 20% chance to drop. North of Hillsbrad Fields is a good spot for both spiders and bears.

You will have the grey bear tongues long before you will have the Ichor, unless you are really lucky. This quest is notorious for taking hours to complete just because of the ichor.

After messing with the creepers for a bit, I found a Creepthess which was a little S of the road by the Hillsbrad fields 39,53. He dropped the echor two times i found him. Its easy to spot because its Grey not Green.

This is an extremely annoying, and time consuming quest. I was grinding for the items for so long I leveled up twice while grinding. I had started as a level 22 and finished the quest as a level 24. Extremely ridiculus.

I got the Ichor fairly quickly from the spiders by the river. However I have only gotten 4 tongues now in around 23 bears. I am almost ready to lvl to 21 and started this quest at 20. I can use the lvling so don't mind that so much. The bears by the river do seem to drop more than the ones up by the road. I got 2 within a shorter time by the river. Only problem with the river is the plentiful spiders. Though if you have cooking and have gone to Tranquil Village to get the recipe for the spider legs then that wont be a problem.

My tip would be, to cross the eastern river ( the one with the Snapjaws in it ) and kill the mobs level 24 - 26. The first creeper i saw and killed there dropped the ichor. The bear tongues also dropped more frequently.

I would suggest this for any quest of this nature - where the task is to kill one type of creature (wolves, bears, spiders etc) - to move on and find a higher levelled creature of that type. The drop rate is usually higher.

This worked for me, anyway. Hope it helps

I was disappointed when I turned in this quest. Then I did the follow-up and said, ""Oh, nevermind..""

As of 3.1, they seemed to have raised both the drop rates to about 100%. Or I'm just extremely lucky =D

From my experience, the droprate on the bear tongues seems to have been increased significantly, but the Creeper Ichor droprate is still awful.

After getting annoyed with this quest, i followed kiddx's advice and found Creepthess, killed him and it dropped the ichor. Im not sure if that is luck or 100% drop rate but it worked. i found him at around 36, 56.
