These guys currently do not reset aggro, and will follow you across the instance unless killed during the quest where you escort the elementals across their domain.

Careful.

So... these guys are made of stone.... yet you can skin them?

1 Savage leather per mob + a constant supply of mobs makes this a skinners paradise.
also close by are groups of stone bat with just over 5k hp 1 Savage Leather from ech this is definatley the place to get your savage leather.

Usually casts Stone Breath (stuns you for 2 seconds) soon after casting Wing Buffet (pushes you back). Stone Breath can be avoided completely by moving from the front of the drake, and sometimes when the drake is in the air I've been able to avoid Wing Buffet.

The drakes that stand along the sides have a really fast respawn rate, and for elites, they are very squishy. If you are a skinner, they are a fast, trouble-free source of blackened dragonscales.

Kommentar von Mostunknown

It's not on the skinning list, but i received a Makelloser Balg

@bdan - they might have changed it but i killed 3 groups of those bats and couldn't skin them.

I believe these drakes carry a generic elite loot table, making them a decent place to farm green drops and dragon flanks at the same time.

Kommentar von Pootles

It says they drop 1-5 savage leathers but I've only ever gotten one. Same with the blackened dragon scales, I've never received 2.
Perhaps an error on this site? A change in skins per mob policy?
Either way it was a disappointment. : (

Kommentar von Snaake

Our guild just got the broiled dragon feast recipe, so thought I'd come and test them as my new blackened dragonscale + dragon flank grindspot.

Nice, fast kills, only got 1 savage leather each so far. Did get 4 blackened dragonscale once though, so at least that's confirmed even in this patch. And indeed, decent amount of greens.

Apart from being a good source of leather (stony one), i found them good for being farmed for green items (i'm an enchanter), money (sometimes they contain over 1.5g each) and lot's of expensive grey items (i sold them all for, like, 50g).

Today (29/07/2011 @ 20:45) i received a Pristine Hide from skinning the Stone Drake! It's not in the Skinning tab!

How do the urls work so you can see the above links 'info'?

pretty sure all world mobs are capable of dropping world BoEs. Hence, 'world'.

any advice that twilight highlands is more dense, is not accurate. In the last 30 minutes, I have been surrounded by dead stone drakes in packs of 10-12, as while I try to tap everyone drake in range, I do not have enough downtime to skin. Furthermore, elite 83's whose main attacks are channeled at melee are far easier to pull and destroy than normal 83-85's who tend to charge, cast at range, patrol and otherwise are spread sparsely throughout an overloaded area.

Two plus's not yet mentioned:
1. Having a max health of 161k, the stone drakes are close to execute range. This is easily abusable with an execute ability (glyph'd Shadow Word: Death times two) as well as execute trinkets (Sorrowsong is giving me 1.5k SP every time I damage a drake, effectively, as they are close enough to the 35% health point). Shadow Word: Death refunds mana, so there's very little downtime. I'd imagine kill shot, execute etc. all have similar functionality / are relatively cheap to cast.

2. Being part of the lore of their quest line, stone drakes are knocked unconscious. Thus, it is perfectly legitimate to /afk in their vicinity, as they will not aggro

2 hours of farming

2 Pristine hides
15 Greens
5 stacks of savage leather
1.5 stacks Blackened Dragon scales

Kommentar von Smalblu

It seems that either i, and everyone on Stonemaul has been very lucky, or blizzard has increased the droprate for Blackened Dragonscales significantly. Wheras previously i would get approx. 1 scale every 5 drakes, i now get some pulls of 5+ drakes where most of them drop scales, and i have procced (with guild perk Bountiful Bags) up to 6 scales from a single drake. All other posted information seems to be accurate, as they will not aggro unless attacked, have between 60k and 40k hp when they hit the ground, and their abilites are easily avoidable. All in all, this place is a much better spot than some other places in a certain highlands *cough.*

TL; DR, This place is awesome.

EDIT: Seems i was lucky that day, droprate is back to normal, more or less, but i picked up skinning on my main, and in mostly FL gear, i four-shot these guys. i can't skin them fast enough. They drop a steady stream of trash, greens, and gold. My warrior's inherent ability to keep killing without downtime makes him that much better at farming it. The only way i could be any better is if i was a worgen. (I'm undead)

One hour of farming yielded:

10 Stacks of Savage Leather
107 Blackened Dragonscales
14 Cata Greens
1 Cata Blue (Fetish of the Fiery Sands)
178g from Mobs
116g in Vendor Trash
Total Estimated Value: 800g (Leather) 1070 (Scales) 300g Enchanting Mats
Total: 2464g
Not bad for an hour of work.

Kommentar von AnatoLiy

After 1 hour of farming on my OS ENH shaman which isn't fully geared yet:

166 Savage Leather
88 Blackened Dragonscale
11 Green's (which turned into 17 hypnotic dusts and 7 lesser celestial essences)
Gray junk that NPC'd for a total of 76 gold
Looted 162 gold off of them
About 70 Dragon Flanks
A few of each Volatile's from their strange bloated stomach

Great place to farm for LW to get it up to 525 or just to make gold in the AH.
