TheWoWDBThis quest is absolutely ^&*!ing atrocious.
Spent 34 mins killing 22 goliaths to finally get the trophy.
It will never be worth doing this quest for the pitiful 75 rep you end up getting for it.
Quest
Getting Ahead
A World of Warcraft quest in Uldum. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Low drop rate off the Aqir Goliaths.
So after killing about 5-6 and asking chat (universally $%^&*ing about quest) I came here. After looking at comments I started counting. Another 13 before I got the "trophy". So 20ish to complete.
I can understand wanting some "Flavor" in quests. But since a "normal elite" quest is 5 or so Elites something like this should be on a logarithmic upscale after about 4 kills.

Description
Morale's been down at the camp lately. Funny how getting chewed on by some bugs can spoil the mood of a place. I've got an idea to perk the troops back up, though. We need a trophy! See if you can get me the head of one of those big tanky-looking ones so we can put it on display to show these bugs that we mean business! Just try to make sure it's not too mangled, okay?
