Did it in like 30 minutes. It's not that bad, really. And the XP given is worth it.

The ones I killed were down south near Boulderfist Hall.Took me about 20 minutes to complete. Just make sure you have Call To Arms in the meantime, so that you can kill some Ogres to await the respawns. About 1 out of each 4 Raptors drops the item.

With call to arms you can get two quests in about 20 minutes, and guile pretty much has 6k xp (like that guy above said), PLUS the xp you get from killing so many mobs.

This quest is very irritating. But very, very worth it. All in all you get about 6k experience just in quest completion alone. You also get Call of the Raptor which is a cool buff. I pulled a greenie Aurora Cloak, not to mention the xp you get from killing the 65 billion raptors and the 45 quadrillion spiders and buzzards that aggro from 15 continents away. The drop rate totally sucks, I had to actually check the log a few times to make sure I was killing the right monsters and also that the quest wasn't bugged or abandoned. Talk about annoying, I got to 11/12 hearts, and I joke you not I had to kill 11 more raptors just to get that last heart. Final numbers are in:

Total monsters it took to complete quest drops: 63 Raptors / 12 hearts

Total time: 45 minutes

Level : Solo 35 Warlock / VW used for aggro

VW's ""Taunt"" and ""Suffering"" were huge on this one. Without VW tanking it would have taken forever.

Total Aggravation (1 to 5000) : 9999999999

Great Quest for leveling though.

Yeah, I was wondering about all of the aggro too, I was in that area before I got the quest and it was remarkably insane.

Now I have to go back and use most of this for good XP.

Oh and yeah the two people that talk are like 10 feet away from eachother, what's the point of making you the messenger?!

You'd better pair this with the ""Call to arms"" quest.
The part where you kill the Boulderfist Brutes and Magus.

Raptors are just outside their cave at 55.74 Saves you some time and will bring you in about 10 -12k XP together (depends on how many mobs you kill in total ofc:>) .

And if you get sick of one mob type you can kill the other:)

just sit on top of the little hill at 51,69. you can get almost half the quest done here!

this quest ain't hard at all, sure it will take some time but it drops,very good!
a good idea is to finish the quest ""call to arms"" https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=678 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=678 the boulderfist outpost is really near the raptor location. exact coords are : 53,77
by the way there are 2 raptor locations,the first is really close to the road and has like 3 raptors
and the other spot is west to the boulderfist cave and near the river
coords are between 45,82-50,82
got much more raptors there

Note that the vultures patroling the area (who used to be the worst about Arathi) are now not red, which means they won't attack. So one less thing to worry about, I guess.

Completed this as a 33 hunter. They had a 100% like people are saying, call to arms is nice to have so you can just kill the ogres while your there =] Found it funny tho, that the guile quest was a light red, while the ogres were dark red and the ogres were of lower levels >.>

i just charged the first raptors i saw, and didn't get a single one,after about 12 I decided to go for a different quest and kill raptors on the way.
But when i hit the Highland Flesheaters around 50 , 67 .yup, it was a 100% drop rate.

As previously said, near Blouderfist hall.

:)

Near the ogre cave [southern portion of Arathi Highlands], you can find some around. Just kill those and the drop rate is rather good, so if you are at the right level, you may be able to finish this one up rather quickly.

100% drop rate for me.

I had a drop rate on 100%. Make sure you have https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=678 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=678  (Call to Arms) so you can do them after each other.
Happy questing!

The quest item dropped from the Highland Flashstalkers near the southern Ogres and was 100% drop rate for me.

There is a 100% drop rate while doing this quest.

it takes a little effort for a lvl 34 but it gives u good xp both killing the raptors and finishing the quest.

I don't understand, don't have coodrantate thingys, so I do not understand anything tell me where please!

-Alesihia

remember when i was going it over a year ago on my main, was like 5% drop rate. now its raised to about 90% :o

You need to kill Highland Fleshstalkers, not Highland Striders, and they have 100% drop

I think we need 10 more comments discussing about this being a 100% drop rate

there only level 36-39 i did the quest with a level 34 rouge in about 15-17 minutes but make sure to stack up on food and i found them at 52.1 the hearts have a 100% drop rate :)
