This otherwise good quest is rendered useless by an obvious oversight that was never fixed. Clearly, Corrosive Sap Beasts are supposed to drop Stonetalon Sap. There’s 900 of them specifically in the questing zone encompassing like three spawns of Sap Beasts, which have a drop rate of like 10% each, despite there being like three of them in the zone. This makes the quest pretty much universally skipped because some airhead developer 20 years ago forgot to put Stonetalon Sap on the loot table of the Corrosive ones. It will take you two hours to get the saps by YOURSELF let alone with other people occupying the zone.

no, corrosive sap beasts are too corrosive for the sap to be any good 
obviously
Every alt I level is usually through Stonetalon. Whole quest takes me 30 minutes. And its a good quest too. Lots of killing. Lots of random drops. Bags usually full when you get back to town. #nochanges

This is one of the quests that intentionally has multiple potential spawns with some of the spawned creatures with no connection to the quest.
I am not sure why they did this but another classic one is the EPL quest where you need Wolves and they share spawns with the spiders that you don’t need. People kill all the wolves until there are only spiders and then people complain the wolves are rare. I just kill everything and then 50/50 Balance is restored, I get more loot, I don’t waste time searching for the spawns that may not even be alive.
I recommend the simple tip “Always be Killing”

I recommend an even better strategy: Afk at the entrance of a dungeon while some dude from Venezuela levels your character for you.
Y’know what else is cool times? The bag for [Noggle’s Lost Satchel] has a respawn time of 555 minutes.
