It's kinda obvious why some have a terrible drop rate and others get what they need in 3 minutes. If I killed the raptors in the area where the name of the burrow came on the screen, I got feathers. If I wandered a bit wide and killed them in "Dragonmurk," I got either nothing or raptor meat. Stay in the area that says "Bloodfen Burrow," and you'll finish the quest quickly.
My problem was I ended up on the sheer rock side of the burrow and couldn't get up to the cave. That's why I'm here, getting the info on how to approach the cave.
Thanks everyone, once again you've proven invaluable.
