Dust from the Drakes

Dust from the Drakes is a Horde-only quest for level 20-30 in Blade's Edge Mountains. It is step 14 of 95 in the Blade's Edge Mountains storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Blade's Edge Mountains at 52.4, 57.9. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The Alliance has recently moved in to the west, using their elven magics to grow a town and grove in a short matter of time. We must keep their defenses weak so that they do not also grow a spine.

I have a plan that will do that and more. I want you to traverse the bridge to the southwest, which crosses over Bloodmaul Ravine and leads into the Living Grove.

Attack their fey drake defenses in the Living Grove and bring back the magical dust that sometimes can be found upon their wings.

I did this last night. This quest is a royal Pain. I'm not lying at all here, these are exact numbers.

Start time: 11:01 PM Est

End time: 1 AM

Class: Shadow Priest (67)

Killing 'Fey Drakes' at The Living Grove. I was not in a raid group or anything to hinder it.

Dusts needed: 4
Fey Drakes slain: 186

Statistically i was getting 1 Dust per 47 fey drakes, but the last one took me the majority of these killing. I was sitting at 3/4 for 107 fey drake kills.

Unless you are feeling lucky, i don't really recommend this quest, the droprate is absolutely obscene, in my experience.

*** THIS is my personal experience, go ahead and try your luck, but for future characters i am avoiding the pain of this quest!! ****

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Encroaching WildernessBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    The Thunderlord were once a proud orc clan before they were transformed into fel orcs through the blood of Mannoroth. Recently we recovered this orc stronghold from the ogres that infest the ravine below. They had moved in when the Thunderlord clan abandoned it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Protecting Our OwnBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    With the magical dust you recovered, I have fashioned a magic ointment that will aid in our own defenses. Our dire wolves are the perfect combination of mount, sentry and friend, but the Alliance scum have been poaching them in the Jagged Ridge.
