Many people believe that all three OOX beacons are are more likely to drop off humanoids than other mob types. The drop rates are very low whatever the case, but if you sort the "Dropped by" list according to drop count, you can see that humanoids do seem to drop it about twice as often as other mobs, at least for the Hinterlands beacon. If you're farming for this beacon, focus on one or more of the Vilebranch camps in the area.

Seems like they became bugged on the last patch because I cant pick them up. The "looting this item will bind it to you" window sticks and wont come of until u loot the next time.... mucho wierd

works fine, just did this on my alt

That only means that more drops have been recorded from said mobs. Yes, they may "have dropped" this item "about twice as often" - but you have to consider they've been killed about ten times as often.

I find it unlikely that there is any magic to this other than that this item is a zone drop - as random as a world drop, but limited to the zone (with of course rares slightly more likely to drop it because they will always drop a green quality or better item from their loot table).

After doing every single quest available for horde, getting 2 BoE blue drops and over 30g worth of humanoid farming, this finally dropped right when I was leaving the zone. Dropped from vilebranch headhunter in jintha'alor

*edited for mob correctness*

It took me a long time to find this, the other beacons are easier. After getting 2 epics and a few rare items, it finally dropped off a green sludge at the sludge camp (46,42). Good luck!

According to the Wow Armoury http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=8704 this has an equal drop rate of 1-2% of almost everything in the zone, so I'd say any deviation from this can just be put down to chance. That said, I picked up the other 2 easy enough, and have managed to do every quest in Hinterlands without seeing this on my lock.

Commento di jodel

doing all three of these and turning them in will give you a BUNCH of xp. just the last quest where you get the pet mechanical chicken gave me 10500. (correct me if i'm wrong). it's kind of time consuming, but worth it and really good for the xp, i think. the drop rate of the beacons isn't really that bad if you're doing quests in the area(s). i had all of them drop for me at least two or three times.

Commento di 167468

I hate this quest soooo much. I've been waging war upon the Hinterlands for hours and not a single hint of this item.

Commento di Thottbot

Right click the item to initiate the quest.

Commento di Thottbot

no it wasnt, there are 2-3 different chickens that needs rescue.

Commento di Thottbot

i cant find the homing robot, can anyone give me coordinates?

Commento di Thottbot

49,38

Commento di Thottbot

can some1 give me directions (not coordinations) as to where the chicken is?

Commento di Thottbot

the robots at 49/38!
on a small rock in the water

Commento di Thottbot

A good place to farm for the beacon is the slimes in Skulk Rock. I got mine after 25 ooze kills.

Commento di Thottbot

Anyone hear of the rumour that you get a chicken as pet when you do all 3 escort quests?

Commento di Thottbot

You will receive a robotic chicken as a pet for completing all three.

Commento di Thottbot

I always have trouble finding these things when I actually look.

killed 200+ slimes with no quest drop.

Commento di Thottbot

Gave robot quest...have new quest now: rescue oox-09/Hl! where I am suppose to escort him to the beach...but he ist moving. The quest is accepted and right clicking on the chicken does nothing for me...any ideas?

Commento di Thottbot

There's a follow up escort after finding the chicken. You have to escort him all the way to the other end of the zone to shore by the turtles. To get the reward you have to go to Booty Bay.

Commento di Thottbot

I got the quest item from a turtle on the bar offshore from the beach in the Hinderlands.

Commento di Thottbot

oh god...4 hours of killing mobs in hinterlands...still nothing. so tired.

Commento di Thottbot

ok so i helped the chicken get to the river, where do i turn in the quest?

Commento di Thottbot

after escorted to the beach you have to go to booty bay to turn it in

Commento di Thottbot

So I picked this up in Feralas about my fourth kill. I see the coords are 49/38 but not sure where to pinpoint the coords :P I haven't started it yet in case I screw up

Commento di Thottbot

Call me lucky, call it random luck or whatever you want. But i think the drop rate is higher on the green sludge area to the west of the starting spot of this quest (47, 39). I got it to drop there for me like 5 times now. On diffrent Toon's of corse.

Commento di Thottbot

46 priest. Did this last night with a 48 shaman. As lvl 44 and 45 I found the beacon from a wolf and a troll and couldn't loot it. Just made 46 and was able to loot it. Blizz should add "Youre too low to loot that".

When you run into mobs you should whack whatever is attacking the chicken. Dead chicken, quest fails.

You can't shield the chicken. I tried.

This was my first beacon, but the third for the shaman and sure enough he got the pet mechanical chicken.

We ran into two slimes, two stealthed wolves, three owlbeasts and three trolls, in that order. The wolves were one at a time. I think all were 47 or 48.

Commento di Thottbot

I failed this quest trying to do it myself, now the chicken is gone from the rock. i looked twice to restart it. I have abandoned the quest already. Do i need to farm another becon or what.

Commento di Thottbot

I found this really hard, you have to run forward into the 2 mobs because if the chicken gets there first it will die.

Commento di Thottbot

The drop rate is messed up obviously because you only get the drop once. Once you get the beacon you cannot get it anymore, that is the explanation for the >1% on all the MOB's

Commento di Thottbot

chicken at 49,37 on top of the tallest stone in the lake where river starts (near skulk rock as said in q)

Commento di Thottbot

dropped on mangy wolf thingy =D

Commento di Thottbot

Here is how I did it. For the first time, let the chicken die when you meet the first three owlbeast, then kill 1 or 2, and leave to get the quest again. Now when you reach the same place, there won't be enough time for the beasts to respawn, so you pass without a fight. When reach the second group, dps everything you have to kill the first two but make sure you aggro everyone of them so that the chicken can stand more hit after you die later, then assuming you're like me, a lvl 47 priest, you would probably die at the third one, rush back from the gravelyard which is only seconds away, and kill the third one. Mission accomplished.

Good luck.

Commento di Thottbot

I was killing Trolls when i got this one dropped, thought i got dc in the escort :'(

Commento di Thottbot

The owl beasts have by far the highest drop rate for the quest item. Just kill them and anything else that gets in your way.
Took me roughly an hour, and made some decent exp while grinding the thing. Personally i gladly accept any reason to grind, because grinding for the sake of grinding is to boring for me.

Commento di Thottbot

Ok, so i completed this quest, got the chicken all the way to the shore, the quest says COMPLETE in my log. Went to Booty Bay to turn it in as previously told to, and there is no one there to turn it in to. There is no yellow dot, and i went to the Oogle guy and he does not except it? Is this bugged or am I missing something? Where do i turn this in?

Commento di Thottbot

Is the drop rate on the Vicious Owlbeasts way too high or what? Just wondering, 3.4% is high for a random drop.

Commento di Thottbot

I farmed this item for two consecutive nights, 3 hours a night, to no avail. I was killing the various Owlbeasts, Wolves, and Oozes. Today I switched to the Saltwater Snapjaws along the coast, and after 40+ kills it finally dropped off a level 50 turtle right next to the Horde outpost. They drop Speckled Shell Fragments; each stack is worth 45s.

Commento di Thottbot

It took me 9 hours of pure grinding and no avail, however while farming ghost mushrooms one of the oozes dropped the beacon (sadly, just a few hours before I helped my warrior friend with it). I decided since I had to wait for the shrooms to respawn anyway that I would try to solo it.

Surprisingly, it was supremely easier than the Feralas and Tanaris ones. As a 48 feral druid, easily took down the oozes in the beginning and kept behind him until he alerted me of the incoming danger, where I switched to bear and ran up to aggro the 3 incoming boomkins. It was a very easy fight, I let my rage go up for the first one, while always keeping demoralizing roar and faerie fire up, then when he died I slapped down frenzied regeneration for the two. Got through the second easily and then switched to cat to finish off the last one.

Same strategy with the trolls really, since it's a long run the cooldown finishes. No problems at all. Just heal between fights!

Commento di Thottbot

This is a quest for Peacecraft and not warcraft (for preists). On the other two chicken quests, the chicken would fight the mobs, and I would get bogged down in the fights and before i could get all the aggro (using power word pain) on me the chicken would die (not me). In this one, the chicken keeps walking when the mobs attack since I succeed at getting all the aggro on me. Then I fear the mob (I'm a preist) and ran to catch up with the chicken. And the mob doesn't follow! This happened with all 3 mobs I encountered.
So I didn't get to kill anything and finished the quest! But I wanted to kill the Owlbeasts as they might have Eggs which are useful for the 225 cooking quest for my alts.
In the other chicken quests I have failed, even if I get all the aggro on me, the chicken joined in the fight too, creating problems and becoming chicken nuggets.

Commento di Thottbot

Just did this quest as a 50 Paladin, was very easy.

A nice pally trick to use (with any escort quest) is to judge SOL on all enemies who are attacking, occasionally switching targets to keep the seal active. This way your escortee is constantly healing and you don't really have to worry about failing.

I got mobbed at one point by 3 quest mobs and 2 wandering mobs. During the fight another walked too close and aggroed making it 6v2. With SOL active on all enemies, it was easy to tank and the chicken didn't get below 80%.

Commento di Thottbot

Not sure if it's been mentioned but I finished all 3 of these chicken rescues and didn't receive anything special. I did however have to abandon one and re-do it because I died while fending off a mob and the chicken killed the last remaining mob memeber and wandered off into the distance. It was never found, never reset, and the GM's just told me to abandon it. So make sure you don't let that bugger wander off or live when you die!

Commento di Thottbot

You turn in the quests for all the chicken escorts to a gnome in Booty Bay, Oglethrope Obnoticus.

Commento di Allakhazam

I had been trying to get one in tanaris. i helped a guy do the quest there.

I will probably need help on this one. .me puts in the bank for later use

Commento di Allakhazam

I got the beacon drop off of a OWl beast in the hinterlands

Commento di Allakhazam

anyone got this one? Did the beacons in tanaris and feralas but never got the Hinterland version dropped. And I spent a lot of time farming trolls.

Commento di Allakhazam

What is the end result? of the quest not the chance to get a drop poll.

Commento di Allakhazam

Pretty much all the mobs here should be marked as Hinterlands. The ones that aren't, are mislabelled.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just helped a guildie complete his last 2 of the three beacon escort quests. When he turned the last two in, he got an additional 7000XP and a "pet" escort chicken. So doing all three gives you a bonus. I still need the beacon drop from the Hinterlands to finish my three......so I'm off to do some hunting up there.

Commento di Allakhazam

While i was leveling up, i hit 49 and decided to halt for a while and grind on the pvp.

God... i did pvp for about 2 months alont with just messing around here every now and then to get the beacon - took god knows how many kills, but it finally dropped off a vilebranch wolf pup

Commento di Allakhazam

on my other char i got feralas one and hinterlands one and never could find the tanaris one now i have got tanaris one and feralas one this char and cant find hnterlands one, weird isnt it

Commento di Allakhazam

The quest dropped from a wolf in Hinterlands, right outside Agol'watha. I think you can only get this quest once, so if you delete the beacon you're out of luck.

Getting to the robo-chicken was the hard part (for my level 44 Hunter, making it past the Jade Oozes etc to the lake east of Agol'watha).

I had to search on the forums to find the beacon. Walked all over the place first. Beacon is on the big island rock in the lake.

Then, I followed the chicken. Key hint: ride your mount, hang back from the chicken, and then when it runs into trouble (e.g. 3 level 47 Owlbeasts walking down the road), just let it keep walking. It seems that if mobs don't hit *you*, the chicken won't stop walking.

I had to kill a level 48 and a level 47 green slime (sludge?), and a level 47 and level 48 Silvermane Stalker (wolf)... I didn't have to mess with the Owlbeasts or the trolls (or the level 50 Snapjaw turtles on the beach which were yellow-mooded so they didn't attack since I didn't bother them).

But all in all, not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be... and not as hard as it would have been (impossible) if I had battled every mob that took a swing at the chicken.

Good luck...

Commento di RestInBeatz

Okay, so I've been farming slimes in skulk rock for 3 hours now. Is this confirmed to drop?

Edit: Okay I kid you not, it literally dropped on the mob that I was shooting while typing the comment. Confirmed to drop.

Commento di Philippos

dont even try to solo this as a prot warrior

Commento di Nandonut

Might be complete chance, but I was farming slimes for about an hour in total with no drop, and then I figured I'd switch it up so moved over to the Owlbeasts and got the drop within about 4 or 5 of them... Was the Primitive one to be specific

Commento di Fetlock

Droprate of roughly 1% seems right. I killed 72x Silvermane Wolf and 45x Vicious Owlbeast to get the drop from one of the Owlbeats.

Commento di Crazywoman

Farmed for 4 hours , killing slimes/elites etc etc.. then i read in forum here to kill owlbeast.. 10-11 kills of them and it dropped :-)

Commento di ZekkDistor

Took me about 2 hours of farming the Witherbark Trolls (they die easiest I find, and I don't have skinning), after finishing all quests in the zone. Droprate sucks bad.

Commento di GhostGhost

2 and a half hours and a full level it dropped.

Happened to drop the first kill after I left my group.

Commento di trashpanda01

started Hinterlands with level 48, I am now 51 and all the quests are done. No beacon in sight. (SoM)

how come the beacon in tanaris and feralas have moderate droprates, and this one is rarer than a female dwarf?

Commento di Karpata

Droprates are probably all roughly accurate and I got a bit unlucky. No miracle story here. Killed a large variety of mobs and including owl beasts and slimes. Took about 700+ mobs and it dropped from a troll.

Commento di br0xx

Wanted to post an update relating to current Classic Era servers. For about an year (or more), NPCs have had bugged pathing when they go in/out of water.

Naturally, after grinding for at least 3-4 hours I found the beacon (got it from Trolls btw, I farmed Oozes for hours with no luck) and during that time had to go back to sell to vendor twice, and I got to almost 20% durability just from fighting the oozes (with no dying).

So, it turns out that the chicken does have to cross a small section of water, which due to the bug leads to the chicken walking down to bedrock and disappearing into the void. This will fail your quest, but what I found is that if I go inside the water and just dive in a bit (the spot where it crosses is very shallow), it won't actually fail the quest. I guess you are closing in on the distance enough to stay in range like that?

I ended up finishing the quest, but wanted to give this as a heads up, because there is no sign of Blizzard planning to fix this bug anymore and it may appear like the quest is 100% undoable, but it is still possible to do it.
