ok...I don't normally post to thottbot...but this quest demanded it!  From what I could see  the felboars at 33,38 area did NOT drop the glands.  Now maybe I had a HUGELY bad string of luck...but I killed at least 15 w out a drop.  Now the other Felboars...like there are a lot at 60,45...dropped at the 1/3 ratio like someone else noted.

Felfire Diemetradons around 45,62 (lava lake north of Eclipse Point). Plenty of 'em there,

Carefull when planting the food.  If you see peons standing not moving at all don't use the food.  They are glitched and you will waste it.

While it is true you can only have the 12 fel glands, the same does not hold true for oter Netherwing quest items.  Items such as flayer hides and crystals can be farmed as often as you like.  Don't even have to have the quest to farm them and you can have more than the required number for the quest.  I make it a point to go there and skin carcasses left behind.  I haven't tried to see if the tabards will drop after you have already done the daily quest.

  I found that the Dimetradon mobs dropped them the most around 75% drop rate for me. 

Dying during your daily quest grind isn't necessarily a bad thing here, while you're over on the mainland make a point of grabbing the fel glands while you're there - save yourself a trip later.

The overall drop rate on these is a lot closer to 35% than 5%.  However, most nights when I'm doing this quest, I end up killing 10 or 15 animals before getting any drops.  Once or twice, and I'd think it was just bad luck, but this seems to be a consistent issue, which makes me think (not for the first time) that there's a secondary mechanism at work on quest-item droprates beyond a simple percentage chance per loot.

This will definitely not be one of the quests I do for money once I hit Exalted with Netherwing.  What a pain in the ass.

This is quite possibly the worst quest in WoW to date.

As others have stated, it is extremely buggy, prone to forcing to to retrace your steps for another meat.

Even when everything goes well, you're looking at a *minimum* time investment of at least 45 minutes. That is ASTOUNDING for a daily. Most of the Netherwing quests, while painfully dull, are at least 15-20 minute affairs. This one usually took upwards of 1/3rd of my total daily grind.

That's ridiculous, Blizzard.

the way you do this, is:
you find a camp with THREE WORKING peons (not sleeping, being disobedient or whatnot). you use the meat, and stand COMPLETELY STILL until they have eaten the meat and you have gotten credit for them dying. if there are only 2 mobs in the camp, or if you move when you've placed the meat, it might bug. easy.

for those of you that hate this quest as much as i do there is a light at the end of the tunnel, when ya get to friendly with the netherwing new daily quests open up there is a straight kill mobs one and anoyher gathering one in the mines don't have time right now to see about the others and btw at least the gather in the mines gives 350 rep.

GO to 66,69.  Travel West killing NETHERSKATES along the way.  OMG a plethora of Fel Glands!

First time I did this quest I farmed wildlife for a hour straight and only got 1 on the first hellboar I killed, I decided to run back to the ledge and use it, logged back in the next day and got a gland on my first kill, Since then I always get a gland run it to the ledge and so on and the gland  drops either first or second kill, try it out and see if it works for you too.

1.  the glands wont drop unless u have the quest ( which may expain the "5%" drop rate).
I'm gettin about 33% DR.

2.  When the quests bugs, and it will, just fly over to the area where u got the gorefiend quests
and kill the greater diemetrons for the extra gland...beats flyin all the way bak to the fel pits or magma fields

This is a DAILY???? OMG BLIZZ!! I am doing this once and I will never do it again! This is WAY to time consuming for 11g and the awful drop rate for these stupid glands.

Yeah, I've only done this quest once, but I would surely agree that it's annoying. And you know what, the longer I walk around, especially in SMV, I see many ridiculous things like this and the entire development team at Blizz should know better. So I have a feeling that there is just single one guy in Blizzard development that want us to truly feel the pain.

The horrible flight routes that takes you to a location, away from it and back again for no reason? Yep, that guy.

The 2,4% drop rates on 89% of the quests in the game? Yep, he chose that drop rate.

The bugged quest that haven't been fixed even though they been in the game for a year or more? Yep, that's his responsibility.

If we ever find out who this horrible man is, I am sure that every WoW player will want to rip out his heart, cut his flesh with a Skinning Knife and use their Cooking skill to make a Nasty Human Brain out of his inner organs so many times that he will never forget the pain he caused upon us.

It's advisable to just skip this one all together. It's worth 250 rep anyway.  Yeah, 1 egg.

imo the crystal one is much worse...

higher level mobs...

more for quest...

not all party members can loot...

and the fact that when trying to farm them you pull like 2-3 mobs

i also think the drop rate is much worse then glands...

I'm up to 22 felboars and i havent gotton 1 yet. I give up on it.

I've found that if I start killing the felboars first and they don't drop the glands I move on to the reptile folk and they do.  Or vice versa.  Then after I get 6 glands from that type, I go to the other to get 6 from them.  Works for me every day and the drop rate is on average one gland every two kills, sometimes more.

When I first did this quest and just stayed on one type the drop rate was terrible.

Hope this works for someone else.

This daily quest isn't worth the rep it gives and I usually skip it each day. It took me an hour to collect all the felfire glands and another couple minutes applying them. "The Not-So-Friendly Skies" daily only takes me 15 or 20 minutes to do and you get more rep from it. All in all this quest sucks.

40% drop rate on the level 68 felboars and 80% on 67 felboars

Yes you can only have 12 Fel Glands in your possession at one time.

That includes any may have in your bank... One more thing to check if the low drop rate goes to zero.

Felboars and Felfire D. at 38-44 didn't drop any after 20+ kills.

drop rate was he same everywhere.  went to 6 different spots, most of the ones above and got the same drop rate basically everywhere, 1/10 or about a little variation here and there but 1/10 seemed to be the rate on any beast any area

2 out of 18 kills! 2! for fucks sake blizzard this is shit!

the dimetradons have the best drop rate, i agree with the post above
