For those trying to hunt down:
[item=8704] from The Hinterlands (Personal stats: Killed some stalkers, some trolls, some owlbeasts (about 20 all told)... Then killed my first ooze at Skulk Rock, and it dropped)
[item=8623] from Tanaris (Personal stats: Went into Zul'Farrak like all other posters recommend, killed some twenty or thirty trolls and scarabs, and it dropped from one of the troll corpses)
[item=8705] from Feralas (Personal stats: As recommended by many other posters, Feral Scar Yetis - dropped on my first kill)
- Only available if you have not already completed the quest.
- Yes these still drop in Mists of Pandaria.
- Yes it can drop off ANY mob in the respective zone, however [item=8705] has the highest drop rate from [npc=5292] IF you haven't already done the quest.
- It WILL eventually drop - some days RNG is your best friend, other days you want to repeatedly punch a kitten (or other obscenely fluffy creature) just to illustrate how cruel the universe can be.
- The command to check if you have completed ANY of the distress beacon quests is here (special thanks to MrsSushi for locating the updated version of this as of 5.0.3):
/run local z={"Tanaris","Hinterlands","Feralas"}for k,v in pairs({{351,648},{485,836},{25475,25476}})do print(z[k])for i,q in pairs(v)do print(" #"..i,"\124Hquest:"..q.."\124h["..q.."]\124h" ,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(q)and COMPLETE or INCOMPLETE)end end
You will see lines of dialogue that look like this:Tanaris
#1 [351] Complete
#2 [648] Complete
Hinterlands
#1 [485] Complete
#2 [836] Complete
Feralas
#1 [25475] Incomplete
#2 [25476] Incomplete- After completing all three escorts, you can then acquire the quest An OOX of Your Own and get your [item=10398].
Happy hunting!

You cannot turn in this quest while Hated in Booty Bay
As you receive this quest in Feralas, this does count toward the Feralas quest achievement, even though you have to travel to Booty Bay for the quest hand in.
This was my last quest for this zone.

Description
The gnome's voice crackles once again from the robot: "I need to move OOX-22/FE to an open, safe place so it can begin a lengthy take-off procedure. It has built-in cloaking, but I need time on my end to make it operational again. Escort the robot from its current location to, let's say, the main road! That should be a perfect place, and long enough, to get things online!" "Escort it safely and then come talk to me in Booty Bay! Oglethorpe Obnoticus - out!"
