Rage Scar Yeti Hide (10)

Description

I have a lead on an even BETTER source of hides, if that's even possible to believe! In the northern parts of Feralas - deep within Rage Scar Hold - are another throng of yetis. They're much tougher than the ones you dealt with before, so if you're up for a bigger challenge you'd best be on your toes!

I would reward you handsomely for a stack of ten of their hides; bring them to me here, and we'll finish our business.

Reward

You will receive:
Pratt's Handcrafted Tunic
Also, you get: 70

Progress

If these Rage Scar yeti hides are anything like the quality displayed by their Feral Scar counterparts, they could very well be as resilient as thorium!

Imagine that!

Completion

Excellent, excellent! These are going to work out incredibly well - I can already tell that they're going to be much harder when properly cured.

Thanks again for your help <name>. Here - please take one of my latest creations.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 440 experience (26 40 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Darnassus

Yet again you do NOT need to be a skinner to complete this quest.

And, again, skinners can complete this a tad earlier from getting the skins as drops.

(Not being a skinner, I managed to get all but skins outside the cave.)

Note: The path to the yeti area is at 51, 33. There are 'two' ways to get there:

1) Go up the northern path from the shore (46, 37) cross the road and go cross country to the yeti area - but having to contend with rather numerous unfriendly critters along the way.

2) Go up the northern path from the shore, travel north on the road until your are approximately even with the yeti area and jump down from the road.

Have fun...

The yeti's at the cave respawn pretty quickly, so you best be prepared at all times to face yet another one. They are mostly level 46+ as well, so you may not want to get more than one on you at a time, unless you're a good crowd control class.

Its a good thing that the cave complex is fairly large. I killed every yeti in the caves *twice* and still didn't have enough hides.

Along the way you're bound to get the drop that starts the Pristine Yeti Hide quest, too, though they nerfed the reward for it, so its not really exciting anymore.

For me the drop rate was 1/10. So nice XP. There are plenty outsite the cave, and they spawn quick, so you do not need to enter cave. Please note: There is a path that leads to the yeti area. The path stats at 51,32. For those, who do not have cords, you will follow the road from the coast. You have to jump down from the road, when it makes a little ""break"" at a very huge tree. Just go straight forward and you will end up at the path. There should be laying some bones, meat and stuff there. Good luck!

It was quite odd, contrary to what has been said before, I had a drop rate of about 60%. Perhaps they upped the drop rate in the latest patch?

The cave is at 51, 32; dont - as I did - spend time in the southern cave (Feral Scar), as the paths start approx. at the same spot...

Solo as a 45 rogue with skinning. Only took about 14 kills. Just be aware of aggro because even if you sprint away you're going to run into 48-50 lvl beasts near the Hold.

Drop rate was quite good and gained 6300 exp at lvl 51. Definately worth the time.

BONUS REWARD?

After completing both of the ""quality"" quests https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2821 The Mark of Quality and https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7733 Improved Quality, I finished https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=7735 Pristine Yeti Hide and some time later found the following letter in my mailbox:

Hello again - I just wanted to drop you a note that things here in Feathermoon Stronghold are fine. I've managed to make several new pieces of leather items, thanks in no small part to the help you gave me!

I had some extra bits of leather left over, so I thought I'd send you something extra for all the help you've given me. If you're ever by the Stronghold again, be sure to look us up!

Your friend,
Pratt

I had a horrible drop rate for this quest. I cleared the cave and the outside area twice, and I still only had 9 hides. Not a bad quest though, i grinded (ground?) like 10% of the way from 48 to 49.

I must have been lucky, i got all of the hides in about 13 kills.
Besides the drop rate, this quest isn't hard, the yeti are spaced out pretty evenly so besides the pats, it's hard to get adds.

great drop rate, every other one at least and with 300 skinning, I got a rage scar on every body. shouldnt need more than 7-8 yetis

Counts for the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

The drop rate from killing the mobs wasn't exactly spectacular, but from skinning the Yetis I got 1 per mob, so not a bad quest for skinners.

I think this is bugged. As a level 80 working on loremaster, not a one yeti hide dropped for me while on this quest- even as a skinner! Well, the PRISTINE yeti hide dropped, but I only skinned thick leather from them. What's up with this? Does it prevent high levels from doing the quest?

5 kills, 10 pelts, with skinner at level 46 as a hunter.
