In that span and the three hours spent prior to this post I farmed very close to 2000 whelps (1952 to be exact.whats another 48?). *EDIT* On 11/10 from 12:00 pm cst - 10:06pm cst I farmed a combined total of 7:16 - completing 43 circuits, and 6 minutes into my 44th circuit I finally got my whelp (and that's not counting the 3 hours I spent farming and getting the information for the first part of this post). I made about 3-4g on money drops over 5 circuits, and then another 4g selling everything they dropped to a vendor, so you stand to make as much as 1.6g per circuit. The reason I say this is that on average every 2.5 circuits or so (north three times and south twice or vice-versa) you will fill a 16 slot bag, so plan to throw a lot of stuff away or bring several empty bags.

They drop mostly Forked Tongue, Ripped Wing Webbing, Small Flame Sac and occasionally Wicked Claw or green drop. By the time I finish the south section the north has respawned so it's very easy to run back and forth farming with no interruptions other than running across the area with the elite dragons. As a holy pally it takes me about 10 minutes to clear both the north and the south groups never stopping to drink. The group to the north has 18 and the group to the south has 14.

These guys are in two easy to farm groups separated by a big open area full of elite dragons (in the badlands). I've got the Emerald and Crimson whelps, Crimson is a huge "circuit" with several which don't even drop the pet, and the Emeralds you have to farm the few there are (half of which don't drop it), log to another toon for 10-15 minutes then come back and try again. That said, this has been thus far the most enjoyable grind for the whelp. Some people are willing to grind endlessly to get the item for free, or may think that buying one is not as much "fun" as grinding for one, however the time spent grinding is unlikely to pay as well as the dailies would over the same period of time and doing the dailies provides other benefits such as faction rep, quest rewards, etc.Ĭomment by 231672I've been working on farming the Whelps since I got my copy of WotLK Collector's Edition reserved. IMO, it's all about how you choose to invest your playtime. Personally if I can guarantee myself one without ever having to kill a whelp I think I would prefer that to the alternative. This should take you anywhere from 3-4 hours per day by the time you factor in traveling around the various zones.Ĭonsidering that the Wowhead average Buyout price for this item is 400g you should be able to earn enough to buy one within a couple of days, which is probably a lot less time than you will spend farming the mobs that drop it. You can either spend countless hours farming for this drop, or (assuming you are lvl 70) you can do 25 dailies that will pay you at least 200g per day and just buy one at the AH.
