Pristine Yeti Horn (2)

Description

Now that I have what I need to cover the mechanical moving parts, I only need one other thing. Well, actually two. Two horns!

The ice thistle patriarchs and matriarchs have the largest horns, so of course, those are the ones I want. That type of yeti inhabits a cave to the southeast. There are plenty of them there; you shouldn't have any problem finding them.

Remember, I only want the best looking ones -- no beat up or broken horns, please!

Reward

Also, you get: 90

Progress

I've just about finished attaching the fur, <name>. Please, hurry back with those horns!

Completion

I can't wait to show my friends! Now, just wait a moment while I attach these...

Perfect!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 465 experience (27 90 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Everlook

East of Everlook, should be called Ice Thistle Cave. The Ice Thistle Patriarch is where I got my horns from. The Matriarch barely drop any for me.

Drop rate is very low, about accurate to wowheads reading (4.1%) HOWEVER, I did this at Level 56 as a shadow priest, it's really easy to kill them and fast. And good exp(340-400 non rested @ my level), so it's not a total waste of time. Even better if you are a skinner

Also, this might be some help to someone:

Ice Thistle Yeti HP:
3640

Ice Thistle Patriarch HP:
3909.

ice Thistle Matriarch HP:
3727

They use skills like ""Tendon Rip"" Which reduce your speed by 70% &amp; Frost breath which deals frost damage toward you.

Also, they have a skill called ""Rushing Charge"" But I've only seen Matriarchs use it.

They're all located at

67,42 (Ice thistle Hills / Ice Thistle Cave)

This is usually a 'farm' area pick up for Miners, as 1 or 2 thorium veins spawn inside the cave, Along with truesilver veins.So watch it.

I killed the Matriarchs and Patriarchs for around 45 minutes until I realized they were just not dropping.

I did something that I have successfully done in the past when this happens, and the next two kills i got gave the two horns.

I recommend '''logging out and logging back in.''' It has worked around half the time for me before, and if you have been grinding these guys for around an hour, I think it's worth a shot.

In a party, the Pristine Yeti Horns will only drop for one member at a time. They are not group quest items.

Drop rates:
Lv. 57 Ice Thistle Patriarch - 0 Horns / 10 Kills = 0%
Lv. 58 Ice Thistle Patriarch - 0 Horns / 7 Kills = 0%
Lv. 56 Ice Thistle Matriarch - 1 Horn / 6 Kills = 16.6%
Lv. 57 Ice Thistle Matriarch - 1 Horn/ 7 Kills = 14.2%

Overall:
Patriarchs = 0%
Matriarchs = 15.4% or about 1 horn per 6-7 kills.

This is just from my run through. The matriarchs appear to drop more often, but it may be even.

Drop rate is very very low for this quest.
The yeti's have an instant cast (which they can use even while stunned) that freezes you for 2 seconds,
but otherwise fairly easy to kill.

6750 Exp as of 2.3. It might be just me, but the droprate also seemed to have improved. I got the 2 horns in about 5 Patriarchs/Matriarchs.

Be warned, it can be quite a long grind, I cleared the cave at least 3 times before I got the horns.

Having said that it's a very easy grind with mobs almost always pull-able in ones.

For what this quest lacks in drops and drop rate it makes up for in XP. While it was annoying that I didn't get the horns until 100+ kills and an hour later, I gained about 1/4 level in the process on my 56 hunter. So while it is annoying to have such a bad drop rate, you sure do level a lot faster than expected =P

The drop rate on the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=12367 Pristine Yeti Horn seems very random. The drop / loot system in World of Warcraft is decided upon world spawn. So most likely only a handful of the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7459 Ice Thistle Matriarch or https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7460 Ice Thistle Patriarch will have the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=12367 Pristine Yeti Horn in it's loot table. It all depends on luck really.

I suggest going in the cave at 67.5, 41.3 and killing the https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7459 Ice Thistle Matriarch or https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7460 Ice Thistle Patriarch around there. You will run into https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=7458 Ice Thistle Yeti often, even outside the cave, these do not drop the quest item you need.

Best of luck. And if you are a skinner, good amounts of https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8170 Rugged Leather drops and for tailors https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=14047 Runecloth. Have fun, and help Winterspring in it's battle against the Yeti! Also, this quest line is extremely worth it, if you like scaring goblins.

Things to note:
  • Only one https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=12367 Pristine Yeti Horn drops at a time. No group sharing or anything.
  • Experienced earned is decent, if you are unlucky and keep grinding expect to get a few bubbles.
  • This quest is fun! Well it is in my opinion, if your drop rate is bad, go back later. Do some other quests for you don't burn yourself out.

Random note ~ if you're a frost mage, bypass this. They are highly resistant to frost. Sigh.

The XP reward for this quest is not worth it. The droprate is terrible, about 5% at most. Skip this is you are trying to get to Outlands quickly.

Very painful for me as a Frost Mage - Many resists from my spells.
The drop rate wasn't very good for me either, while it may have been improved.
Nice grinding though, and if in the cave suggested above, keep an eye out for roaming pats.

you can kill them anywhere in Winterspring until the cows come home and they won't drop. Hit the cave like they say, they'll drop pretty quick....

this might just be luck, but I got both horns from two level 58 patriarchs, while the 56 and 57 didnt drop it in about 10 kills

so go for the 58s (thats probably why people had much better luck in the cave) first

The drop rate stinks, but it still gives good experience/money. Easy quest, easy experience =)
Also, for all the Frost Mages attempting this quest, or any quest in Winterspring for that matter, I just made a secondary action bar with Fireball, Scorch, and Fire Blast; works like a charm. You'll have to restore your mana after one or two mobs, but it's better than respecing. Just spam Fireball, Arcane Missiles, and finish with Fire Blast. Piece of cake.

Oh wow, I remember this quest from a loooong time ago. I will be missing this quest if it gets removed in Cataclysm. I remember wasting around 40 minutes just to get these horns in patch 1.12. Good times! :')
