Pristine Hide of the Beast is skinned off The Beast in UBRS.
Frayed Abomination Stitching drops off of various mobs in Stratholme.
Arcanite Bars can be transmuted.
Skin of Shadow is dropped off of various mobs in Scholomance.
The 50g comes from your pocket ;].

The stats on the Breastplate of Bloodthirst are basically pre-Molten Core, and good for non-raiders, especially with an enchant.

The only thing that's debatable is whether or not it's worth all the hours you'll put in collecting the mats, or the gold to aquire them.

Comment by Thottbot

If you're having trouble figuring out this armor, just ignore the pretty purple frame for a second. Look at it as though it were a green or blue item. I couldn't really justify the effort needed to equip my 60 Rogue with this. Any breastplate you replace with it is also bound to lose a set bonus, worth considering. Come to think of it, I don't even think I'd go on instance runs for this thing.
Even though this is just my opinion, I know that this will anger some pre-pubescent idiot into paroxyms of rage so strong that they will sorely test his typing and spelling skills.

Comment by Thottbot

When it comes to this just don't farm for it. just keep it in mind when you do the places that drop the things.
I mean you will probably do Scholo a lot of times to get the SC from there(skin of shadows is there). Strath for SC and some other nice things from there(abominations) Ubrs has LOADS of nice things(hide) and arcanite can be bought pretty cheap if you have a nice enough guild.

u get the quest in UBRS from a small goblin. he gives a quest for a hunk of the beasts flesh and u take it to the winterspring guy.

Comment by Thottbot

OK

in every class i see this dumb senstence
"Hey this is for a "class" or Hey this is not good for "class"

everyone play like they want/love/willing to SO LET THEM PLAY LIKE THEY WANT

if a rogue love to have strength it is is right

Comment by Thottbot

doesn't anyone have a picture of this?

Comment by Thottbot

Well, I'm a pure Feral Druid on the Realm Die Silberne Hand and I think this is the best chestitem for feral druids.
Ive got all the items for it except the arcanit bars, which im going to buy today.
At the moment I have a base crit of 33% and this item would just fit me nicely.

Comment by Thottbot

Guys the beast is a level 62 creature. Formula for skinning is level/5 = level of creature you can skin. 62*5 is 310 skinning. so just finkles dagger will be enough. I actually skinned the beast with only the dagger when it dropped.

Comment by Thottbot

I can see what the fuzz is all about, but I gotta say thou, if I was a rogue, id never really go to such efforts for this armor, when clearly theres better out there for rogue, easier to achieve.

For the other 2 items crafted of the hide, I think neither is really worth the effort either.

But for a feral druid, this chest is very nice. So I would put it this simple, if no druids in the raid needs the hide, let the skinner have it....i see no reason why any other classes should roll on the skin at all than druid infact....i mean, if youre balance druid, and consider the legs...sure theyre nice for leather, but heck...with 360% armor bonus in moonkin, why do you even need leather when blue cloth gives more damage? and for the stats...theyre not that great.

The scarlet cap isnt even worth mentioning, i took a look at it and got so dissapointed, theres so much better items out there than this, its almost not even worth the epic purple name...

So pristine hide of the beast is only worth using for the chest they way i see it, and only for a feral druid.....so if no druids, then let the poor skinner keep it.

And dont forget rogues, you get 1 AP pr strength, while a druid gains 2 pr strength, considering this and the massive stamina, id say a feral druid in bear form would gain most of this item, so stop being greedy if a poor bear actually wants to make this chest.

Id go as far as saying a rogue rolling on pristine hide of the beast is like a druid rolling on the shadowcraft set....sure we dont need +daggers, but heck ...we love the stats ;) well offcourse rogue can put it to good use, but not as good as a bear anyways.

Comment by Thottbot

everyone stfu.

This chest is nice to anyone who has the patience to finish the quest and gather the items. =)

good night.

Comment by Thottbot

U need pristine hide of the beast for this... not worth it... this is actually:

13 attack power
200 Health
2% crit chance
1% dodge chance

While Darkmantle tunic is:

31 attack power
62 armor (not important)
1,3% crit chance
2% dodge chance
150 health

Go figure, incalculated that darkmantle tunic gives set bonus of 200 armor (also not important, but still...) and this it more expensive. (The pristine hide is worth about 300G)

And you'll eventually replace this with things like bloodthirst or nightslayer anyway.

Comment by Thottbot

I just got this, very easy to get.
got 1-2 skins / run in scholo
got 10 stitchings in 3 UD runs
paid 250g for pristine hide
paid 140g for 5 arcane crystals

for my feral druid alt.

Comment by Thottbot

On some servers you can pay guilds to take your character through MC until the item you have payed for drops. They do this to add money to the guild bank. Think a little before calling someone a liar.

Comment by Thottbot

Ok people don't know this but these items are for casual players they are optional to to raiders
Casual players can't do raids due to real life schedules and things. So there are various quests that get them epics without haveing to do 3 or 4 hour molten core BWL AQ or Naxx a day

Comment by Thottbot

This is how it goes:
This is much better for PvP than Darkmantle Tunic (it's actually not close), so If 10 Frayed Abomination Stitchings fall into your lap before you're able to get your NS chestpiece, I say go for it. Even a below-average number of Scholo runs will get you 5 Skin of Shadow, and Pristine Hide of the Beast and Arcanite Bars are just $. If you're a level 60 rogue, you have no excuse not to have enough.

Comment by Thottbot

Okay, seeming no one else has posted a lot of information regarding dependencies for this quest. I have done the beast slaying, the abwee bit and the kicking off the mountain to the other island. I have also done the WP bit of the quest and seen the catalogue there.

When I went to Winterspring for this catelog I still could not get the quest. I think this is because I am neutral with the Brotherhood. I will try and get to a rank where I can access them and post the rep level.

BTW The catelog for this quest is in Everlook, on a table right next to the smelting area (beside the Brothers Thorium dude not the Argent Dawn dude as per a previous post).

Comment by Thottbot

In order to get this quest, you need to first go to UBRS, kill the Beast and get the quest from Finkle when he pops out. He doesn't always pop out, but at least you know you gotta keep going til he does.

Quest:
https://classic.wowhead.com/quest=5047

Take the Glowing Hunk of the Beast's Flesh to Malyfous Darkhammer in Everlook. You will then be able to get his quests (i.e. Breastplate of Bloodthirst, Cap of the Scarlet Savant, etc.)

Comment by Thottbot

sorry for anyone saying its not the best thing for rogues ... get t1 or t2 ...

this is one of the very very few really good feral druid items in the whole #$%^ing game ...

i am no dr00d btw

Comment by Thottbot

Why do you people bother argueing with each other on who this is better for? I mean seriously!

Does this have a class tag? No
Does this drop from an end-game instance? No

I mean seriously, IF you look at the mats needed, most of it you will be rolling against everyone for.

Prestine hide of the best:

Sells for 400g-1000g (depend on server)

Also used to make the other quest epic.

And don't forget unless your good enough to convince a group of 9 pugs, why they should let you "need" it. Be prepared to spend months in UBRS.

Frayed Abomination Stitchings:

Not so hard. But you might have to roll against:

1) people who have those quest for the epic mail/plate gear.

2) and people who rolling on it for the ZG Nature resist enchant.

The Skin of Shadow:

Ever since patch 1.10 these things seem to be rare. I've been through 3 runs and never seen it drop, and i've been on 1 run where 4-5 have dropped.

And finally arcanite bars, are easy to get.

In the end, what im trying to say is; why waste your time saying who this is better for?

In the end, it's really depends on whether or not the person who wants it, has the patience to get the mats.

Comment by Thottbot

For a feral druid this is a greate chest and i think druids might benefit more for it then rogues and when it comes to time...

Well if you really want it then do it... and its worth it imo sins many guilds wont let ferals get dps gear and many dont even get to play feral cus the guilds want em to be restore

Comment by Thottbot

Lvl 60 Rogue that does endgame with a feral druid in my guild. We often do Ubrs, Strat, and Scholo runs for the people just hitting 60 or getting close. If I see any of these mats drop I pass them to feral druids and I suggest all the rogues in my guild to do so as well. Rogues will get Nightslayer eventually and if you really try Bloodfang. If you're not into raiding heavy Darkmantle is a good choice for rogues because of set bonuses and such. Druids get healing gear for their raiding efforts and rarely get good epic leather peices with these kind of stats. Again think of the raid dps over you're dps. Even though a druid with good gear will never beat a good rogue in Dps, a druid will make better use of this chestpeice.

Double posted. I fail :-(

Comment by Allakhazam

300g in cash alone to get this piece of leather.. i havent looked at all the other available options for a rogue but this doesnt seem like the best choice. Maybe if you are a combat druid or something

Comment by Allakhazam

Not worth the time and effort?

WHAT time and effort? You guys have been staring at your monitors too long and fried the hell out of your brains.

10 abomination stitchings? If you have a guild that knows you already have the pristine hide, and if they're decent, they'll let you TAKE the stitchings. It'd take, maybe, 4 or 5 Strat runs. Boo hoo, I'm sure you'll survive.

Skins of Shadow? One or two Scholo runs. Cry me a river.

Arcanite? Hardly a problem. Farm a little for money, or make a few friends. Yes, friends. Scary thing to have, I know, but bear with me.

The hardest part of this is the Hide. I just won it tonight in UBRS, out of nowhere. Wasn't even looking for it. I already have 5 Skins of Shadow and three miner friends who would be more than happy to hand over a few arcanite/mats for arcanite for the right price (around 15-20g a pop).

I have all of this and I work a full time job and am married. Anyone who says this is too hard to get has NO REAL EXCUSE other than just being lazy and not wanting to do a few runs of some simple instances.

So, my advice is...stop listening to idiots on sites like Allakhazam and Thottbot, and go get yourself an epic chest piece, rogues, feral druids, whoever the hell wants this. :)

Comment by Allakhazam

getting finkles skinner to get this quest is a pain in and of itself.
Ive got the skin of shadow everything else will take some time...

Comment by Allakhazam

rogues... dont even bother, this is absolutely not worth the time, effort or money, in any way, shape or form. feral druids... nice piece, knock yourselves out, hehe

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone got cords for the quest giver?

Comment by Allakhazam

Is it only 50g? My quest log still says 300g and I got the quest after the patch that supposedly lowered it.

Comment by Allakhazam

BoP.

Comment by Allakhazam

I think the best part is how my skinning druid was there when Finkle's Skinner dropped off the Beast, but I lost it to a rogue who wasn't even a skinner. *Shakes fist*

Get the skinner, bring a skinner, and getting hides of the Beast shouldn't take too much time.

Comment by Allakhazam

This is quite nice for a tanking druid.. Good
AC, lots of stamina and +dodge. I'd pick this
over Tombstone for tanking any day; dodge is
essential for a druid, as they haven't got parry,
and they increased the droprate of the hide
dramatically, so it shouldn't take more than 10-20
UBRS runs to get it.. unless you have bad luck
with rolls ;)

Comment by Allakhazam

Why in the world would you run UBRS for 9 months looking for the Hide? You can farm gold for a week and have more than enough to just buy the damn thing. I never understood the rationale behind stuff like this.

Just buy the stupid thing.

Comment by Allakhazam

Its now only 50g to create. Ive almost got all the materials. The arcanite bars are proving to be the worst since I dont want to spend money on them :P

Comment by Allakhazam

do yu have to skin it yourself or can you just get the mats for it?

Comment by Allakhazam

This versus Tombstone Breastplate Breastplate
Binds when picked up
Chest Leather
174 Armor
+4 Strength
+10 Stamina
+6 Spirit
Requires Level 57
Passive: Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 2%.

vs

Breastplate of Bloodthirst
Binds when picked up
Chest Leather
190 Armor
+20 Stamina
+13 Strength
Passive: Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 2%.
Passive: Increases your chance to dodge an attack by 1%.

So...
+26 Armor
+10 Stamina
+9 Strength
+1% Dodge

..

FOR 300 GOLD AND OVER 100 INSTANCE RUNS.

Not bloody worth it.

Comment by Allakhazam

u must first skin the beast--then talk to finkle ernhorn--he tells u to go to winterspring--u will se a lil gold dot on ur minimap once ur in everlook--GIT ER DONE
by the way you will need the hide to continue the qeust so dont bother flyin ur a$$ all the way up thier till the hide drops

Comment by Allakhazam

This is really a piece of #$%^ for rogues. The stamina is good, and the crit chance aswell, but dodge isnt and I rather have some nice agility and/or attack power than strength. The nightbrace tunic dropped in ubrs is even better imo, with 10sta 5ag 50ap and some nice resistance. If u think sta is too bad, get +100hp on it. So if u have time over, spend it on getting revered with Zandalar tribe and get the Zandalar Madcap's tunic, instead of wasting gold and time to get this.

Comment by Allakhazam

damn!

Comment by Allakhazam

Biggest pita is those damn Frayed Stichings, i never win them :(

Comment by Allakhazam

So can a druid do all 3 of these quests? or can you only pick one?

Comment by Allakhazam

With the Green dropd out of Outland being much bettter than this epic is it really worth the week or two farming to get it. Sorry no not any more I have a Blue from a much simpler drop BOE called Jerkin of the untaimed spirit, Leather cheast piece, 425 armor, 23 str, 22 agi, 22 sta.

Comment by Allakhazam

Second best Feral Chestpiece in the game. And its obtainable by doing nothing more than Scholo/Strat/UBRS. Relatively easier to obtain than most ZG pieces. You bet your @$$ I'll be going for this as a druid.

Comment by Allakhazam

I think you guys are missing a pretty important point:

It looks kick ass. Kind of like Dracula armor.

Comment by Allakhazam

hes talking about the hide , nub cake

Comment by Allakhazam

Not Really any Good For a Rogue seeing as +1% chance to get a warrior Kiking yer But.

Dodge is so poor against warriors.

BiS Feral tanking chest piece in Classic.
If you're a Feral tank and your guild gets the hide and doesn't give it to you, tell them where to go.
Let nobody tell you otherwise.

Comment by RedracerNZ

I couldn't figure out how to get this quest to turn in my stuff. I talked to Malyfous Darkhammer and he just said his dialog, no quest popped up. There is a book next to him you have to click. It lets you pick which piece of armor you want... Beware you can get ganked in that spot a million times. The guards can't reach that spot.

Comment by ZorbiusGaming

Well as an Enhance Shaman with now 700 arena runs for SGC I've resorted to this. Neither SGC or RBH will drop for me so this will hold me over. Maybe new phase 5 arena boss loot switch around will give me better luck. So far 30 runs in phase 5 and only seen Gorosh once...
