Kommentar von Alzeimexia

These little furry creatures are part of a quest to get the recipe 'Dig Rat Stew'

Kommentar von 52332

One of the few Critters in game that drops any loot, even if that loot is itself.

Kommentar von Smorfty

These are found mostly in the basin at Bael Modan in southern Barrens and inside Bael Modan fortress aswell.

i once got one of the Unconscious Dig Rat (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?item=5052) and kept spawning it in the main citys, then killed it and looted the Unconscious Dig Rat again. My fun ended when it dropped a normal dig rat...then i got another one and some one else killed it D=

Kommentar von 421062

I swear the spawn rate has skyrocketed. I killed one another spawned i its place straight away

Kommentar von Kampw

just killed one inside the inn at gadgetzan.

Kommentar von Wildhorn

If you seek to farm these for the recipe or the unconscious rat, and you are Alliance or high enough level not to care about the NPCs, don't limit yourself to just the rats in the dig site. Go up the hill, into the keep. There are about 12 spawn points up there. 1 to either side of the entrance on the outside, plus about 3 on each floor of the keep. The keep has 3 levels.

After a few rounds, you can get a pattern going that makes it easy. Across one side, downstairs, across the back, upstairs, through the middle by the tanks, up the stairs, out to the balcony that overlooks the tanks, then to the adjacent balcony, and back down and outside to repeat the cycle. They would respawn for me in the time it took to run around inside.

To make it easier, try this macro and bind it to an easy key.
/targetexact Dig Rat
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
/startattack
That will put a star icon over the rat and turn auto attack on so you will swing or shoot as soon as you can. The icon can be seen through the walls, but only if there's one wall separating, otherwise it won't show up through objects. The target function is smart enough to target the rat closest to you, in front, that is still alive, if it can. If you run out of live ones, it will target carcasses.

Got my recipe after about 70 kills. There's a fireplace in the bottom of the keep you can use to cook the rat to learn the recipe.

The rat you spawn using this item no longer drops another rat for you to use.

Kommentar von 956445

Confirmed! Recipe still drops from these critters at 4.3! Use Percipient's macro

/targetexact Dig Rat
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
/startattack

to target the rats with a star and automatically put yourself in attack mode. I got my recipe with only about 20 kills!

Kommentar von thunderdragon2

its a shame that this is the only way to get this recipie is there an rough estimate you can give me time wise for getting the item?

no need for the estimate now got it on 3rd rat so shouldnt take too long i may have gotten lucky tho thats my 186th cooking recipie

Kommentar von Solaire

I looted 69 Grubenrattes, one Bewusstlose Grubenratte, and finally, a Plumpe Grubenratte! Whew!

Kommentar von wintermadness1

Got the Plump Dig Rat on my 10th kill...the RNG likes me today I guess.

Kommentar von lordcassius

All mine after 2 kills, I am obviously favored today :)

Kommentar von 1033311

ok im going to try to take my lvl 20 rouge down there and see if i can get it. ive been able to sneek my way into Orgrimar and fish there, so i might be able to get past the NPCs to the keep. the post about the spawn spots, that was great, thanks for the info.

Kommentar von Jauque

Can confirm as of 12/12/12 this item still drops the Plump Dig Rat to learn the recipe - simply cook this beast over an open flame and ta-da!

Kommentar von 1109872

Dig rat recipe was dropped off a Digrat. When I looted the body, it showed up as a recipe, that said Plump Digrat. I got it on the 30th kill. There are rats in the excavation site as well as the Keep up above.

AAJST(? dug a hole!
AAJST(? used DIG!

Kommentar von dreadnougt

Hi, it took me 35 kills of Dig Rat:http://www.wowhead.com/npc=3444 until i got Plump Dig Rat: http://www.wowhead.com/item=78342.

I created a macro for myself so that i could auto find, target and kill, replace my Arcane shot for hunters with any of your instant spells, doesn't have be strong since the Dig Rats HP is only 84.

Here is the macro: i also decide to set a target Marker Icon of skull, for visually finding it easier as well as setting focus to it:

/cleartarget
/clearfocus
/target Dig Rat
/focus
/target focus
/script SetRaidTarget("target",8)
/castsequence reset=target Arcane Shot

I hope that helps. Oh I also used the rat drops to make and ate 1 and sold the rest. I always eat 1 of something I haven't seen before, just in case its part of some random achievement somewhere ;-)

Kommentar von Kurasu

On Alliance, I found that the quest which 'explodes' the Bael Modan fortress also sets the area into a phase. Dig Rats no longer spawn around the fortress, though you can still find 5 or 6 in the valley. So if you're an Alliance which has done questing in the area, your choice of Dig Rat battles are severely trimmed down! My suggestion: do the quests only *after* you get the recipe, if you intend to do them at all.

Kommentar von dsnineteen

So I got it into my head that I wanted this recipe for my trial account twink Worgen hunter.
After running from Ashenvale to the south of Southern Barrens (and absorbing plenty of hits along the way), I plonked into the dig site to realise that ALL my gear was red. So, no ranged attack.

Fortunately, the image of a savage, fierce Worgen scrabbling around chasing after rats and clawing at them futilely was enough to amuse me long enough to make around thirty-seven kills, and collect my prize.

Disgusting Dig Rat Stew for everybody!

Kommentar von giovannicaloro81

Got the plump after 77 kills.
Good luck to you all! :D

Kommentar von 1344885

Went inside keep, target rat, kill rat.. found plump rat when looting. :) feel lucky... easy to get.

Kommentar von Peredhil

Got it on 22nd kill(alongside 1 unconscious dig rat too). Stick with Bael'dun Keep(didn't quested in the area yet),there is always one up,and use a simple target+set raid target macro,as mentioned in comments above.Good luck to all collectors.

Kommentar von Wyr3d

So, these guys still drop the item dig rat but I dunno about the recipe, or the unconsious digrat. That I can tell you is, if you are Horde, and you complete the quests in the area, you will be spawned back to camp. If you return to Bael Modan you will find the place is now populated with factioned Alliance. Basically, you won't really have a chance to go back and get these, or the recipe (if it still drops) until max level.

Kommentar von Maravec

I got the recipe for Dig Rat Stew today after four kills ("George just lucky, I guess."). Looting the fourth rat put Plump Dig Rat in my bag. Unlike other recipes, you don't want to just right-click on this to learn it; it's primarily a food item, and right-clicking without a Cooking Fire will simply consume the item. Lay down a cooking fire, then right-click the plump morsel. You will automatically learn the recipe and gain a Dig Rat Stew.

Kommentar von Malachi68

I gave up after the 80th rat killed offered no plump dig rat. I got two unconscious rats but no plump ones...

Kommentar von Suz191209

Odd I looted Unconscious Dig Rat few times Use a cooking pot and even the cooking pot downstairs since I phased in the keep but I don't get the pattern anyone knows if we can still get this or am i wasting my time

Kommentar von bratgirl

I was lucky I guess and got the Plump Dig Rat on my fourth kill.

I used the macro from one of the other comments without the start attack bit, and it definitely helped to be able to see the rats!

/targetexact Dig Rat
/run SetRaidTarget("target", 1)
