Just 2 ambushes: three lvl 47 scropids in the start and three wastevander humans (1 mage, 2 assasins, around lvl 44) almost in the end. And some usual mobs chicken just cant get past on its way >.<
Soloed without much troubles as lvl 47 affliction warlock.
Picture at http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=7784 shows the way chicken follows.

I must suck because I did this on my 60 hunter and failed it twice, but did it on my 45 paladin and succeeded. The moral of the story is that it's pretty challenging. You have to keep 3-4 mobs aggro off the chicken because he dies easily.

Kommentar von 44364

Me a lv 45 Hunter and a lv 46 worrier finshed this quest easyly I dont recomend doing it by yourself and allways let the chicken hit first becuase if you dont he will keep walking and aggroing more.

I done this quest as a lvl 43 prot (AoE) pally, it took two attempts. The first time the chicken died when i bubbled against the Mage and the 2 assassins because he pulled all the agro. I healed and ruined their day (but really they had already ruined mine!). Anyway, next time i got through with no problems. Tactics: I killed the scopids pally AoE style (BoSanc, Ret Aura, SoLight, holy shield). I consecrated to pull any agro off the chicken. (remember we don’t want him to die!) This was the toughest fight by far. I think i even used Lay on hands after some wolf joined in. I killed everything slowly from then on so that my health and mana kept going up, BoWis, SoL does it for pallys. I changed to Prot Aura too for the chicken! Keep an eye on the chicken’s health; take as much beating as you need to so that he has time to heal. You can always take a potion or bandage. (I couldn’t heal the chicken). I switched to Shadow res Aura before i got to the mage and Co. Killed mage first, pulled the agro from the chicken with consecration. Then went back to pally AoE again to finish off the assassins. They dual wield so happy days. (The chicken doesn’t take well to dual wielders though!) He died quick the first time! There was no other trouble. Sorry this is really only a pally guide....
The longest part of this was finding the chicken! Which got me killed once but the second time i pulled a lvl 50 basilisk and half way through that i pulled another lvl 50 giant bug that dropped critters. (they died on my BoSanc though! lol) I survived it though but the fight took so long the basilisk had disappeared (and i couldn’t loot it!) by the time I had finished off the bug! (really what happens is that you try and keep your health up (Jol Sol) while holy damage (ret Aura, BoSanc, Shield spike) slowly kills them!)

I soloed this quest as lvl46 hunter without any problem. Just stay behind a chicken a bit, when he aggroes, attack one mob after another with your pet, so your pet will take aggro for all three mobs attacking chicken. After that, just use mend pet on your pet, chicken will help you, throw few arcane shots on them and you're done.

Kommentar von Alderaan

Pain attention if you are a mage to aggro on you...
So don't use frost nova, expecially when attacked by groups of 3.
If you don't aggro on you, the chicken aggro on him and you fail the quest because the chicken dies.
Blizzard & Ice Barrier/Mana Shield are welcome when facing the groups of 3.

Kommentar von Hoshi

Don't know if it was just one of those days, but of all the times I have done this quest, the one I just completed a minute ago took by far the longest.

There seemed to be 2-3 times as many mobs on the route back, the chicken aggro'd everything in sight let alone range.

Would like to hear some more reports of doing this after 2.3

Kommentar von 103852

This little bugger runs right infront of Caverns of Time. I tried to do this but every time I bump into high-level hordes who find it funny to ruin my questing. Just a notice, everyone should be careful while doing this. I'd suggest doing it when it's not prime-time for players so that you might be able to avoid any high-level gankers.

Kommentar von Celwindia

Solo'd this the other day as a 48 SPriest. Instead of fearing ambushers for the escort quests, I usually try to find a different way.

The first group I thought would be like the previous groups I ran into, and come from a distance, so I mounted and scorpions spawn in a circle surrounding the chicken, and immediately start attacking. Throw dots, attacks, or get some kind of aggro from all of them, and just focus on the one he's focused on. For reference, I found my chicken was able to stay alive for at least 25 or so seconds, easily with one scorpion and poison on him. If you're a lower level, don't attack the mob that the chicken is focused on, take 2 off of him, and take the 3rd when you've finished one, the chicken should survive comfortably, as should you.

The chicken ran past or into several mobs on the way, before, after, and in between ambushes. I didn't find these happening too terribly often, every 20-30 seconds of dead time. I just join him in the fight, these are typically single mobs, I got occasional doubles.

The second group does approach from a distance, so I was able to mount and kite them, just running through, and then past the group. The mage was only able to cast on me once, and the melees got 2 attacks per? After seeing this was quite possible, I dropped mount and engaged. I threw dots on the assassin's, and then just focused on the mage, they dropped with no fuss.

A few helpful things to remember, I wasn't able to buff or heal the chicken whatsoever, but within 10 seconds of leaving combat, that cheesy NPC regen kicks in, and he's full in 2 ticks. If his health is really low, and he's walking directly towards a mob, simply go to the side of the path, and pull the mob yourself, keeping it out of the chicken's aggro range, he'll walk right past, and you can finish the mob yourself. Also, bandages are extremely helpful, just remember that they can be interrupted easily, wait until the scorpids' poison wears off before you bandage, or you'll have a minute to wait to try again =P Hope this helps. 5450 XP

Edited for typos and the like.

Just soloed this chicken-escort with my lvl 44 Warlock, guess they kinda nerfed it with 2.3 patch.

Kommentar von Yeoman

Followup of this quest is An OOX of Your Own, but available only after completing all 3 separate quests of finding distress beacons in corresponding zones:

Find OOX-17/TN! (Tanaris, this quest chain)
Find OOX-09/HL! (The Hinterlands)
Find OOX-22/FE! (Feralas)

Kommentar von 122145

I had a hard time with the humans, so I tried to do the Undead thing and eat them. The chicken, however, felt this was unnecessary, and chose to go on without me, and I failed the quest so close to the end.

Kommentar von Kevers

solo'd as 44 rogue

pretty easy just long

Kommentar von 88189

Just a small hint: make sure you let the mobs that aren't part of the ambushing plan (so the mobs the chicken runs into) attack the chicken first. So don't go clear the path, because then you risk the chicken getting more aggro, because he won't stop walking if just YOU engage combat. I made this mistake and got an ambush of 4 scorpids and a land rager instead of the 3 scorpids. Fail.

Kommentar von Soaa

I was doing the quest and at one point the chicken just suddenly disappeared even though no one was hitting him and he was right next to me. Didn't even get "failed" to the quest log.

Kommentar von 173144

For most of the mobs, you can mount and kite them out of the path of the chicken; you don't even have to kill them, if you make a big loop you'll get far enough ahead and leave combat.

So neither you nor the chicken will have to engage, except for possibly the ambush groups. If you fail the quest at one fo the groups, that one will also stick around and be available for kiting.

Kommentar von 184374

As a 47 prot Pally, I thought it wasn't too difficult. However, if you get ganked by a member of the opposing faction, not only will you fail the quest but you'll also have to find the distress beacon all over again.

Kommentar von 134320

What I would recommend doing is going and grabbing Tooga's Quest before starting this one around Thistleshrub Valley(30,73). Bring the turtle up to the quest start then escort them both to Steamwheedle Port for a total of 22650 experience (that's including doing Find OOX-17/TN!).

Kommentar von Abdulmaiden

Soloed as 44 level druid (feral). First part was kind of hard which is scorpids.

If you're a druid you can follow this:

Move as stealthed. Never attack any mob before they attack your chicken. The chicken does really good and helpful damage on mobs, he can even pull the mob with his DPS capability. When scorpids come do all of your hots on you, and go for bear form, kill one of the scorpids, then use War Stomp (If your damage is low). Then use all of the hots again and go cat form. Leave the chicken's target, and attack the other mob. Don't worry about the chicken's HP because it regens too fast. After you killed the scorpids, innervate yourself or just drink. Then go for stealth again. Do the same thing as i mentioned before, don't attack any mob unless they attack chicken.

After the humanoids come, do the same thing when scorpids came. But one thing is different here, don't go bear form. Cat form is enough. Kill warlock first, leave the chicken's target attack the other one. After you killed two of them, kill the chicken's target. Humanoids can flee, so be aware they can run away from you and pull other mobs. If they flee just use moonfire.

After you killed humanoids, you just walk. And kill the mobs on the road if you have to.

My druid's stats while I'm doing this:
in cat form: %21 dodge, 1.8k armor, %23 crit, 514 ap, 2.7k hp.
in dire bear form: %21 dodge, 6.3k armor, 229 defense rating, %23 crit, 353 ap, 3.8k hp.

Kommentar von 222970

You know what killed me after doing a corpse run, using a pot and following a chicken around for a few minutes? This line:

Cloaking systems online! CLUCK! Engaging cloak for transport to Booty Bay!

Also keep in mind that the chicken can take quite a hit before it dies, so run back if you died, he might still be around. He won't be around if you see you've failed the quest, obviously.

Kommentar von 260788

Tried to do this quest today, 1 Dec 2008 with my lvl 46 feral druid.

When I have done this quest before with other characters, it has been soloable with a little effort. Well.. no more by the looks of things.

This is because in addition to the chicken pulling random mobs on the way plus having some scripted mobs spawn on it (which isn't particularly difficult to handle), it also runs past one of the Wastewander camps (the one closest to the beach) and aggroes pretty much everything there. Since the camp mostly consisted of Wastewander Shadow Mages who hit pretty hard with their shadow bolts and have voidwalker minions on top of that, AND who flee when on low health (pulling a few more mobs - hey, the more the merrier, right? :P), try as I might I could not kill them, not even take the aggro off the chicken before the chicken was dead. It seemed to take about 4 shadow bolts and a few hits from the meleers to kill the chicken.

I guess I was a little slow reacting, might have been able to heal the chicken or do something else, but.. I really don't understand why it is necessary to let the chicken run past that camp so so close. Was it really just my bad luck?

One way to get past this, I suppose, would be to ride in pulling the camp myself, but about 2-3 shadow-bolting mobs on me does not sound particularly appealing, and if I get knocked off my mount, it can hurt. A lot. Can't clear the camp long beforehand either, since the mobs seem to respawn pretty quickly.

Has anyone else had the same problem?

Kommentar von JKremis23

Original: Very easy, yet up there on the list of terrible quests. I dread this one every time and not quite sure why... lol

Edit: I now remember why I hate it so much...
1) Can't help the stupid chicken (Heal, Buff, etc...)
2) As stated, the chicken is an effing tard that pulls everything cuz hes only lvl 42, and he deserves every failure he gets out of this quest.
3) As a pally doing this quest, it wasnt hard. That is untill he runs along the damn beach and pulls about 6 people, half of which throw shadow bolts around for about 200. Thought SR Aura would solve that... nope. Damn bird doesnt get buffs! How could i forget that?
4) Ummm... the 100s of scorpions he pulls poison the hell out of him and you cant dispel them. The poisons end as soon as he leaves combat, but still... hes in combat for 4 mins straight cuz he attracts sheit like an overpowered magnet on steroids.

And the absolute worst part... at the end, after you go through all that hell, HE TURNS ON HIS CLOAKING DEVICE TO GET TO BOOTY BAY! Where the hell did that come from? I was so ^&*!ed! He couldnt take the wussy rogue style way out from the start? Ugh.. Dumbass poultry..
I will never become a vegetarian... We need to wipe this species off the planet. A bird that cant fly? It cant even swim or run! *sigh* maybe one day....
J/K i love my Eggs and Bacon =D oh yeah and chicken sandwiches FTW =]

Solo'ed this with a level 48 Warrior (speced for Arms with Whirlwind sword).
Another ecsort job. Completed it with some difficulty. The robot chicken pulls several random critters. I followed the chicken and when it looked like our path would cross with monster(s), I would use Charge ability to stun and engage the mobs. At one point I had 2 basilisks and a scorpion at one time. Hack-n-slay away, finally beat them. Health really low at this point. Well timed healing potions and multi-monster attackes (Thunder Clap, Sweeping Strike and Cleave) are really helpful. Got jumped by 3 Wastewander members, they just materialize out of no where. Again hack-n-slay, they were much easier, one took off on me but bled out before he could bring any buddies with him. Other then that, really no problem. Had to go all the way back to Booty Bay to get the XP, that bites (I don't like that area, I get lost easy). Get a nice shield and XP reward...

Kommentar von 251762

I hate escort quests for the simple fact that whoever (or whatever) you are escorting always takes a route to deliberately aggro as many mobs as possible. When I did this quest as a 47 Prot Paladin I had no problems protecting him until we were in sight of Steamwheedle Port. It was there that I was walking right beside the chicken, a scorpid attacked me but left the chicken alone, which kept right on walking. Halfway through the scorpid fight a hyena had to stick his nose into my business. By the time I killed both the scorpid and the hyena the chicken was dead and "Quest Failed" because he kept on walking while I was fighting. I'm not going all the way back to start again so I abandoned. Besides, the two quest rewards consist of a shield which is not better than the one I already have and some other useless "novelty" item. As for the lost XP I can easily make that up on another quest.

Kommentar von 274181

i solo'd this quest at 48 with a retri pala with some epic gear and had level 80 priest buffs.
Everything was going fine until i came a cross 3 scorpids who jumped in and attacked me and the chicken. I layed down AoE and then another 2 hyenas decided to attack so i took the threat off the chicken and managed to kill all five creatures exhausting mana but only getting taken down to quarter health. I think this was the most tense part of the whole quest.
If i didnt have buffs i dont think i would have completed the quest. easiest way to complete is to walk infront of chicken and kill all mobs which are in the path of the chicken.
good luck guys and have fun ^^

This quest counts for the Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement.

Kommentar von 278963

Did this as a 42 survival/marks hunter.

For hunters it seems the best strategy is to run ahead when the first ambush comes, drop a freeze trap, feign, run back and nuke one of the non-frozen mobs. Then get your pet to charge the other non-frozen mobs, and do a sustained dps on it so that you dont take aggro. If the frozen mob gets out when the 2nd mob is still alive, scatter shot if you're survival. If not, concussive shot, then run up and wing clip, shoot down the 2nd mob, and drop the freeze trap when its off cool down. Finish the 2nd mob, viper and drink until the 3rd mob is freed, and repeat what you did for phase two.

I found this strategy works with the hinterlands quest and the first two ambushes in feralas, but with the gnolls check out the comments for feralas.

Happy Hunting!

Kommentar von 282791

Okay, got a minor problem on this quest. Ive escorted the chicken in and so on, but afterwards i realized it should be turned in at booty bay, so i abandonded the quest (yeah i know - dumb me). And cant start the escort quest again or anything either cant i get the drop again, so there's no way to complete this quest for me currently.. or any ideas?

Kommentar von 344286

This essentially is a quest I won't try again until I am 70+. Absolutely ridiculous, horrible AI, the pathing is a disaster.

I wouldn't even attempt it until you're over 50 solo. Probably doable mid 40s with an additional person.

Boo.

Kommentar von 339654

Wow this was really bad. Its such a long escort! I ran through the mobs on my mount to find the guy and lost half my health. Then i accepted the quest. The first ambush with 3 scorpids also pulled in a nearby hyena and basilisk really hard (im 44 hunter). I was about halfway there when some 80 horde came along and blasted me off the earth and no im #$%^ed off so i logged.

Kommentar von insinu8

I completed this as a lvl45 frost mage. The first set of scorpids caught me off guard, but I waited until the chicken had them all aggro'd, then hit them with a frost nova, backed up a step or two and killed them with 1 blizzard followed by two arcane explosions.

I then followed the chicken so I could see what his next encounter would be. It was always only one mob (except once, when he got a basilisk and a hyena). I stood back and let him handle it for the most part, only using my wand to make sure the mob died before senor el-cluck-o.

As soon as the warning about the wastewanderers came, I blinked forward with my ice barrier on to grab aggro, then led them towards the ocean until the chicken was past. I blinked again to catch up and then followed him the rest of the way dealing with the single mob encounters as I did between ambushes. It didn't take more than about 20 minutes, and I only had to use one mana crystal (scorpid ambush) and evocation once (after the scorpid ambush).

Be sure you have your mana crystal created ahead of time. Keep your ice armor up and don't waste mana killing the single mobs....use your wand. GL!

Kommentar von 119063

Does anyone know if the second part is shareable? I cant seem to get the drop for the life of me. I am a lvl 80 and mayhave picked it up a long ime ago but i dot have it now and i dont have a ! over him. And yes this is the only one i need to do to finish the OOX quests, 2 GM's confirmed this

Kommentar von Darksoul1719

Another good quest to combine with this quest is Tanaris Field Sampling, because on the way you encounter alot of the mobs that you need to test for the quest. Keep in mind though from the looks of it, this is a Horde only quest though.

Kommentar von 345231

while doing this quest u can also do "Tooga's Quest", the destination is the same just pick the tooga quest 1. and then come to pick up the chicken, and tooga can help u kill the mobs, not much but any help is welcome.

Kommentar von Kyuudo

This horrible quest got an absolutely wonderful update for patch 3.2: about 1/4 of the way through the regular escort route (before you reach the Wastewanderer camps), the chicken will enable rocket packs and fly away to safety, giving you quest credit in the process. I assume the other chicken escorts got updated similarly. Save 6~10 minutes of awful escorting you'd otherwise have to do.

Kommentar von 436714

Alright, so I (Level 45 Rogue) did this quest for the first time only to be chopped down unexpectedly by three scorpids (and a wandering earth elemental). I had already used up my resources (bandages, potions) and special abilities while battling the other critters along the way, so I was doomed with half-health by the time I got to the end with no chance of refueling. I traveled back to the crash site to do this quest again, this time taking down the wandering beasts with minimum effort. I also remained stealthed alongside chickenbot. Surprisingly, when I got down to the site where the scorpids spawned (I remained in stealth) there was... silence for a moment after chickenbot reported danger. Then only one scorpid spawned. o_O Hacked him down and chickenbot flew to Booty Bay.

Kommentar von Hybr1d

This has been made a hundred times easier. It now spawns 3 Dunemaul Scorpions roughly west of the bottom part of CoT and once you kill those you will have completed your quest. You no longer have to go all the way up to Steamwheedle Port for it to complete. Soloed as 45 rogue, quest was orange.

I just completed this quest, and there were no Wastewanders for me. Has anyone else done this with no Wastewanders lately?

Kommentar von 639399

I just soloed this quest as a level 43 restoration druid. I only had to fight a hyena and a group of three scorpids. The exp gain is well worth it.

I did this quest right now and it did not stop near Caverns of Time, but it went to Steamwheedle port.

i already did 1 escort... can i still get the other beacons? to complete all 3 quest?

Kommentar von Sedach

how do i get to booty bay?

Kommentar von 357874

My Wowhead looter says that I completed the "find" portion of this quest but not the "rescue" portion. It's been a while since I did that part, and I've since deleted the quest item (not thinking it worth doing at the time). Does anyone know for sure if I can still re-farm the beacon if I've done the first part? If not, any ideas on how to proceed?

For those trying to hunt down:

OOX-09/HL-Notsignalgeber from The Hinterlands (Personal stats: Killed some stalkers, some trolls, some owlbeasts (about 20 all told)... Then killed my first ooze at Skulk Rock, and it dropped)
OOX-17/TN-Notsignalgeber from Tanaris (Personal stats: Went into Zul'Farrak like all other posters recommend, killed some twenty or thirty trolls and scarabs, and it dropped from one of the troll corpses)
OOX-22/FE-Notsignalgeber from Feralas (Personal stats: As recommended by many other posters, Feral Scar Yetis - dropped on my first kill)

Only available if you have not already completed the quest.
Yes these still drop in Mists of Pandaria.
Yes it can drop off ANY mob in the respective zone, however OOX-22/FE-Notsignalgeber has the highest drop rate from Wildschrammyeti IF you haven't already done the quest.
It WILL eventually drop - some days RNG is your best friend, other days you want to repeatedly punch a kitten (or other obscenely fluffy creature) just to illustrate how cruel the universe can be.
The command to check if you have completed ANY of the distress beacon quests is here (special thanks to MrsSushi for locating the updated version of this as of 5.0.3):

/run local z={"Tanaris","Hinterlands","Feralas"}for k,v in pairs({{351,648},{485,836},{25475,25476}})do print(z)for i,q in pairs(v)do print(" #"..i,"\124Hquest:"..q.."\124h\124h" ,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(q)and COMPLETE or INCOMPLETE)end end

You will see lines of dialogue that look like this:
Tanaris
#1 Complete
#2 Complete
Hinterlands
#1 Complete
#2 Complete
Feralas
#1 Incomplete
#2 Incomplete
After completing all three escorts, you can then acquire the quest Ein eigener OOX and get your Mechanisches Huhn.

Happy hunting!

Make sure to have good connection when you do the quest! I was disconnected just a minute after I started this one, now I can't complete it! The thing is I have the questmark on the map where he's going to, but hes not there, and he's back where I found him, but can't speak to him again....

So if you lag, wait until you get better connection!

If you got lost and not sure what you did, or have to do, use this macro to figure out where you currently stand:

Seriously, I'm the only one that finds it annoying that I have to travel all the way to Booty Bay to turn this quest in?

The time it takes me to go there and come back, I could have done 2 or 3 more quests of equal value.

Kommentar von Firelocked

You all think you had problems, I got to Booty Bay right in the middle of a pirate war! Not only that, but my mouse pointer turns into a sword when I mouse over the guy I'm supposed to turn the quest in to! After I got trapped behind the waterfall and was slowly killed by a level 35 :/
