TheWoWDBThis quest is horrible. From all the enemies in the area only a handful of them actually even drop the weapons with an abyssal drop rate on top of that. Don't bother with it if the Vale is filled with other players.

The [npc=158052] seem to have a good drop rate. They are up on the wall mostly
looks like the Vil'thik Warriors and Quickblades are the only ones that drop the quest item.
ETA: looks like mobs on the wall can also drop the blades, just mind the elites!

Description
The mantid are frail and easily broken, but the amber blades they wield are formidable. With a bit of work, they could be reshaped into something suitable for the mogu. Bring them to me, and I can see about repurposing them to service the Rajani.
