Helcular's Revenge

Retrieve Helcular's Rod from the Yeti and bring it back to Novice Thaivand in Tarren Mill.
Helcular's Rod

Description

Master Helcular was almost complete with his transformation into a Lich when a human lynch mob discovered his ritual lair in the hills and brutally killed him. To make matters worse they buried his corpse in the Southshore cemetery.

Such disregard for the great wizard is unacceptable. As his apprentice I shall see to it that the rains of vengeance fall upon the town of Southshore.

We will need Helcular's Rod first. Yeti overtook his ritual lair. Undoubtedly one of the beasts has it.

Progress

Have you recovered Helcular's Rod yet? There are so many Yeti in this region, it will be very difficult to locate. But we must have it in order to proceed.

Completion

You found it! Most excellent, <name>!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 265 experience (15 90 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Undercity

Good luck with this one. I have had characters find this rod on the first yeti killed. Other characters had to kill MANY yetis to get the drop. Yes, the yetis you have to kill are in the cave on Darrow Hill. Any yeti there (or right outside) can drop it.

I've done this quest twice. The first time, it took nearly three hours for the rod to drop. The second time, it was only about a half hour. Either way, it seems the drop rate is very low. It's a good quest to do though if you don't mind straight up grinding... overall, it yields some decent xp, plus the yeti cave has some good ore spawns in it.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the low drop rates...I killed every Yeti in the cave and didn't get a drop.

Eventually, you will get the rod. If you are fortunate to get the rod outside the cave, you must enter the cave to put out two of the three flames. So don't run off in celebration (as I did).

Coords for the flames are:
Azel 44.28 (turn right inside the entrance, same level)
Veraz 44.26 (bottom floor, near the pool of water)
Uzel is at the Growless Cave (37.67)

Helcular's grave is at 52/53; reached easily by skirting the river to avoid SouthShore guards - his grave is the first you'll come upon once you reach the graveyard. Helcular rises from the grave - no need to stick around further.

Great quest for increasing skinning skills.

Tedious quest to do, but it is cashtime if you are a skinner.

Everybody here is talking about the cave yeti, however after cleaning out the cave 3 times I was bored of that and I went towards the mountain yeti (Alterac) cleaned out all the yetis from about 33,71 to 33,51 via 40,63 when I was down to the last three (!) it dropped :) I gathered 155 leather and hide in the process.
Moral of the story is you can get it from the mountain yeti as well.

Many people think every time they kill somebody, their chances go up.But that is NOT correct. Every time you kill somebody, it has again 1% chance. So sometimes u have it quickly and other times it can be a pain in the ***.

Small schedule to make it clear ^^:
1% is NOT : 1 + 1 turns into 2%! ==&gt; NOT!!
1% is : 1 + 1 stays 1%+0! ==&gt; True
( Drop rate can be different, it was just a example)
When u kill somebody, the drop chance stays the same. It does not increase. Expect spending long times on locations sometimes.

Have a great time in WoW.

Blizzard has increased the drop rate on some quest. The ones that I have noticed most is


https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=547 Humbert's Sword
And this quest.


Both quests have had their drop rate increased significantly, you can gather your item in under 10 kills.

It's of course mentioned in the ""Dropped by..."" for the rod itself, but you can get the rod off the yeti surrounding the Growless cave in Alterac. (The location of the Flame of Uzel.)

It may be considered 'out of the way', especially being that you have to return to the cave for the second part, but I've found the area to be far easier to farm without Alliance intervention.

3rd kill today from a Yeti just outside the cave entrance. I guess this makes up for all the hours i've spent on other toons :)

all you have to do is just clear out the yeti by the front of the cave and you'll definitly have it by then

So I took my little level 25 paladin to Southshore today to get the flight point. It seemed nice there, with bears and lions in the mid-20s that would provide decent leveling and- wait a second, why am I drawing aggro? Helcular's Remains? What the @#^&amp; just killed me?

Anyway, I got the flight path.
