Raiding With Leashes IV drop rates!

[Yazhi]

I've just cleared the three raids on my main and came out with an impressive 2 pets xD

It's a good thing I have about 20 chars I can run with! Off to start the next set now ^^

Was the same thing I said (mostly as a joke...) after the first set of runs. Didn't think there was a chance I would actually need to do all 20. Looking more and more likely.

After 7 almost-complete runs of all three (my Warrior couldn't get past Mimiron)

[pet]Blightbreath[/pet] * 3 (all different breeds)
[pet]Blood Boil[/pet]
[pet]Dreadmaw[/pet] * 2 (same breed)
[pet]Ironbound Proto-Whelp[/pet] * 2 (same breed)
[pet]Magma Rageling[/pet]
[pet]Nerubian Swarmer[/pet] * 3 (same breed)
[pet]Runeforged Servitor[/pet]
[pet]Sanctum Cub[/pet]
[pet]Snaplasher[/pet]
[pet]Soulbroken Whelpling[/pet] * 2 (same breed)
[pet]Wicked Soul[/pet]

so averaging nearly three pets from each run.

[Vakeetah]

First run of each. Not a lot of luck...
Icecrown Citadel

• Blood Boil (H/H)
• Wicked Soul (S/S)

Ulduar

• Ironbound Proto-Whelp (H/H)

Trial of the Crusader
Nothing at all!

[Maizing]

So far, I have run Trial of the Crusader about 7 or 8 times and ICC once. Did them on a mix of 10 and 25 man depending on the character I was using.

I got the [pet]Snobold Runt[/pet] and a [pet]Dreadmaw[/pet] on my first run of Trial (on 10-man). I have since gotten four more [pet]Dreadmaw[/pet]s, but no more [pet]Snobold Runt[/pet]s.

On my only run of ICC (10-man) I got the [pet]Drudge Ghoul[/pet].

I've been wondering if it makes any difference whether I do 10-man or 25-man, but from the other posts in this thread, it looks like it doesn't make any difference. This is good to know because some of my alts can only handle 10-man.

[Nikkip]

I think I have ran about 6 toons through now, I have about half done. I have mailed extra pets to my BF. So through that he is about quarter of the way done. I personalyl dont mind much. I will giggle if I get mimrons head before yogs pet

After over a dozen clears of all three raids I personally tend to run 25-man (heroic). Especially Ulduar 10-man had a rather low yield for me on various characters. The hard modes don't seem to increase chances though.

I was somewhat surprised about the fact that phase 2 in the Yogg+0 fight is much easier on 25-man than Yogg+4 on 10-man. At least I got the mount now.

Has anyone managed to get the Creeping Tentacle? I've done 15+ runs and seen nothing of it.

Got it on the PTR on my 2nd try, no luck on live yet after a dozen runs.

But someone else was obviously lucky and put it very late at night and very cheap on the AH...

[FuxieDK]

I did ToC, ICC and Ulduar, all on 25H.. One Deadmaw, nothing else.

Crappy droprate

[Erdinger]

7 runs here too, and my efforts have yielded:

Blood Boil *2
Blightbreath
Soulbroken Whelpling
Wicked Soul *3

Dreadmaw *2
Snobold
Nerubian Swarmer

Magma Rageling
Ironbound Proto-Whelp
Snaplasher *2
Ultratonk


Not too bad for the first week, fairly consistent drop rates and not too many duplicates, even got the bonus pet from Trial and won't have to go back there. The tentacle from Yogg-Saron appears to be the rarest one, judging by our results so far.

[Skag]

I ran Trial of the Crusader 7x for all 3 pets to drop. 6x normal, 1x heroic.

ICC 10 1x Blightbreath, Drudge Ghoul; 3x Soulbroken Whelpling. After 3 runs I was already sick of it (I did all the achievement runs for 10 and 25 man ICC last xpac) and bought the Wicked Soul on the AH. Then I did the Lower Spire on 6 more toons until I got the Blood Boil. Then 4x Marrowgar only, but no drop.
Week 2: after 7x Marrowgar Boneshard dropped.

Ulduar 10 3x: Sanctum Cub, Winter Rageling. 5x Winter Rageling, Snaplasher. 6x Sanctum Cub.
Week 2, 1x G0-R41-0N Ultratonk.
Here I broke down and spent quite a lot of gold on the Creeping Tentacle. 3 more pets to go, and no more repeats.
2x Magma Rageling dropped. 5x Runeforged Servitor. 8x Ironbound Proto-Whelp. And I'm off to battle Alganon.

Ulduar takes forever, killing the bosses is a matter of seconds, but the place is so big, it just takes me an hour 45 minutes to do the whole thing.

I'm going to edit this post as I progress. I knew those alts would be useful one day!

Most of them feel about the same as RWL pets previously, except for the Snobold (which they did say was intentionally more rare... unfortunately), and possibly the Creeping Tentacle.

[Sarajiel]

If you take a look at the EU portion of the Undermine Journal, you'll notice that most pets are in healthy supply (>500 each) at the moment except for the [pet]Creeping Tentacle[/pet] and the [pet]Drudge Ghoul[/pet]. Both pets are very scarce (<20 tentacles, <80 ghouls) with less auctions than the [pet]Snobold Runt[/pet] (around 120).

I assume that only one of the Lich King pets will drop at any given kill and the ghoul is probably supposed to be the rare one.

The scarcity of the Tentacle isn't really surprising either, considering the mechanics of the Yogg-Saron fight and the problems you will have on lower level melees with Mimiron. However I didn't expect the difference that large.

[Gilneas]

Hope the Tentacle isn't actually a lower drop rate. It's the hardest one to get to, so that seems a bit silly if it were the case.

Up to 12 runs so far. 2+ of everything except for the Magma Rageling (just 1) and the Tentacle, Wicked Soul, Blood Boil and the Sindragosa whelp. I've actually gotten 3 of the ghouls. No Snobold, of course, which is to be expected. So at this point I'm still chalking it up to randomness. The Tentacle is not the only one I haven't seen even once, after all.

[Sarajiel]

Just got my 8th [pet]G0-R41-0N Ultratonk[/pet], but still no tentacle drop from Yogg.

20 more alts to go ...

[Gilneas]

3) If you are not a healing class, you can still do Valithria, just bring a Legion Silkweave Bandage (you get that as a default ability with Legion first aid). You only need 1 to do it, but perhaps bring an extra just in case. Also, if you are a BM hunter, your spirit pet will work, too.

Though you don't need to do so, if you don't want to. You can just walk around her, as she is no longer required to get to Sindragosa.

[Jrallen01]

yep, I am getting about 2 / 3 raid clear. Consistent with your experiences.

[Jazeel]

4 runs ICC now 1 pet. 4 runs ToC 2 snobolds 2 nerubian's, 4 runs of Ulduar 3 pets plus a duplicate, so drop rate for me is less than 1 pet per raid.
