Unprepared Sawtooth Flank (8)

Description

I'm working on getting some supplies together for our outpost near the beach to the east--Tok'kar does what he can, but between shifts of guard duty and cooking for his soldiers there's not much time left in the day.

They do enjoy cooking up some sawtooth meat when they can, but I haven't had time to get them another shipment. Would you mind helping them out?

The young sawtooths aren't as tasty as the older ones, so stay clear of those; give them a year or two to get to full size.

Progress

Lok'tar, <class>. Traveling through the swamps isn't a risk taken lightly. You're brave to test your mettle here.

Completion

Ah! Wonderful. Fresh meat for the fire tonight. Thank you, <name>.

You've helped make the coming nights more tolerable. The fire burns bright, and our stomachs will be full.

Its a pleasant surprise to have you bring us a shipment; Dar's not the most attractive orc anyone's laid eyes upon, but at least his attitude reeks far less than his smell.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 315 experience (18 90 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Orgrimmar

The crocs you need are right outside of town. Look for the ones labelled Sawtooth Crocolisk. The Young ones will not work, neither will Sawtooth Snappers. The drop rate runs hot and cold every time I've done this quest, so hang in there.

It's worth noting that you turn this quest in not in Stonard but at the orc camp to the east, near the coast. You'll have to run through level 40 spiders, and they'll chase you a long way, so be careful. This area also has stealthed Shadow Panthers, so don't stop for too long if you are level 38 or lower.

By the time I had finished this quest, the drop rate for the flanks was exactly 62%.. although it didn't feel like that.

I had killed 23 of them, took around 20 minutes.

I'm not saying the quest is bad.

Coords confirmed, all pretty much right outside the town. Took me about 40 kills to gather all 8 though, at least it was good forced grinding to get through lvl 38, lol. Horrible drop rate for me. GL.

Best drop rates at Northeast area, higher level Sawtooth Crocolisk.

Since no one else has mentioned it, the turnin location is 81,80. It's SOUTHeast of Stonard, not directly east.

This quest seems bugged. I had to kill 23 Sawtooth Crocolisks in order to get the first quest item to drop. After that, every single remaining quest item (7) dropped from every croc I killed.

I am level 42 and was having no luck with Sawtooth Crocalisks outside of Stonard. The drop rate was below 10%. I think the drop rate is related to your level and the level of the beasties you are killing. The drop rate improved dramatically for me when i shifted NE to 78,18 and killed level 42 Sawtooth Snappers. Was getting around 80% drop rate.

lvl 42 sawtooth snappers are better drop rate

At 76,18 I found several snappers. Droprate is a bit higher in my case. About 40-50%.

Same as Hewett - around 77,21 found lots with great drop and spawn...

Well worth the ride up there.

Crocolisks look roughly the same when alive or dead - a fact you will come to rue before this quest is done. Nameplates will help.
