Drop rates on collection quests

Elixir of pain, Elixir of suffering. I have killed 18 lions and gotten 1 blood. I can’t count how many bears at this point and I have 4 tongues. Players need 30 human skulls but can expect to kill about 100 to get the items.

There is no good reason for this. None of these quests offer any spectacular rewards so why do they have to be such a pain to complete? Seriously if there was ever anything in classic that turns players away its BS like this. Pretty much every collection quest in the game is a painful slug with junk rewards.

I mean its just RNG really. But without the filler mob grind xp, you would fall behind on xp anyways

You should do the Satyr Horns quest in Ashenvale if you think that’s bad.

How classic was designed you need to spend a fair bit of your leveling time grinding on mobs, the low drop rates make that a smoother process. As for the human skulls quest, that one can be done alongside the entire battle for hillsbrad chain so you end up killing a lot of humans anyways while working on multiple quests.
