And all those bloody Zhevra with no hooves!!!
âWhy do I have to gain experience to finish my quest?â
Trust me, you should be happy you have to kill 50 mobs.
Donât get me started on dragonscale leatherworking. I was seeing the Burning Steppes in my sleep.
because quests are designed to make you grind to fill the void of extra EXP needed. by low drop rates it forces you to grind - but the average player sees this as just hunting for drops. itâs calculated.
Itâs one of those quests. There are a lot of those. The moment you feel like youâre not getting any drops you could just skip if you want.
Or keep the quest but just donât focus on it and kill whatever it needs you to kill as you adventure around.
i love how obnoxious some people are, itâs like they think there gods because they played classic, i played classic before i got my account banned
iâd rather see quest that want 200 items that takes 2 hours to collect, rather then 8 items that take 2 hours to complete, that way im counting down the items needed rather than killing a mob and saying to myself ffs still no drop!!!

Did you need to necro for that?
The droprates are the same as they were in classic, the difference is that in the lower level areas you had nowhere near the amount of competition from other players for mobs spawns.
Some of the drops were notorious even back then, in particular Sidaâs Pouch off the slimes.
what?
you speaketh nonsense lord vanilla man
well iâm off to collect the 8 of 12 remaining raptor hearts that has taken me over 2 hours to collect,
Or Turtles rarely have any meat, but must eat a load of clams judging by the drop rate.
The best for me are the spiders who donât drop legs, they have 8 of them!

i rest my case!! shall i go play retail
Well said grandma
Youâll appreciate those grindy quests when youâre doing one and a blue or purple boe drops, as a world drop. Which you wouldnât have gotten if you had only killed 10 mobs and got 10 items 
Its rare that it happens, but its happened to me a couple of times over the years and its usually on the grindy quests.
What about getting a black dragon heart in blasted lands, apparently dragons are born heartless 
Its working as intended, its quests like this that are designed to help you get plenty of xp. I personally dont mind these grind quests.
I imagine non vanilla players would hate them and expect a drop on every kill, well im afraid classic doesnt hold your precious little hand like retail does.
At the moment I think they have definitely improved the drop rate if you compare it with the start of Vanilla. But I donât remember if they already did this during Vanilla.
