Don't be afraid to kill neutral baby mammoths as well. They are cute indeed but subjectively it seems that drop rate from them is much higher than from Wooly Mammoths or Wooly Mammoth Bulls. Also there is a lot more of them around and they are easier to kill than big ones to boot.

Don't feel bad. All you're doing is forcing the mammoths to run back to their corpses and ressurect. So you're not orphaning the little ones, you're just pssing off the big ones and costing their leather armor durability! Heh. Heh.

What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 134 of 182
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

I've reconfigured the skeleton of an old bot to create an earthquake large enough to collapse the tunnels, but the machinery is delicate and sensitive to Northrend's biting cold. I've devised a means of insulating it using the thickest hides of the native mammoths. They roam the plains south of the airstrip and adjacent to the Geyser Fields. Bring back enough of the hides for me to finish the machine and then we'll be able to unleash it on the Nerubians!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
