Many people believe that all three OOX beacons are are more likely to drop off humanoids than other mob types. The drop rates are very low whatever the case, but don't seem to support that theory, at least for the Feralas beacon (of course, there aren't *that* many humanoids in Feralas). If you're farming for this beacon, it looks like the Woodpaw might be your best bet.

If you do all the 3 Distress Beacon quest, in Feralas, Tanaris and Hinterlands, you will in the final quest recieve a Mechanical Chicken as a reward

This was a real challenge to solo as a 45 rogue...you'll have to defend the chicken against any random mob in his path, as well as several scripted groups. The chicken does not pause or stop at all to let you med up, so mount and run ahead of it, then stop to bandage/eat while it runs past you again.
The scripted groups are 3 yetis just outside the cave, 3 gorillas near the bridge on the way to the coast, and finally a group of 4 woodpaws on the ramp down to the water. The yetis hit the hardest, the gorillas are the easiest group and the woodpaws are tough just because there are so many.
On the Yetis I would suggest using a blind and blade flurry (assuming you're combat spec). On the gorillas don't use any cooldowns. That should leave you with all your cooldowns for the final group of 4 woodpaws...I was able to kill them by using evasion, blade flurry, and adrenaline rush all at the same time. If you're going to die before all 4 are dead you can vanish to dump aggro on the robot, then finish them off. Don't hesitate to use a health pot if you ever need it.
One thing to watch for is that this quest is a bit buggy. Sometimes the scripted groups come and aggro on you but the chicken keeps running. If you just let him go you fail due to proximity, so you really need to keep up. Use your sprint if you have to, eventually it will notice and aggro on you. If you stay right on top of the chicken you can make sure this doesn't happen. Staying behind it wont necessarily work, sometimes they run right past him and attack you even while stealthed!
You can also use that bug to your advantage on the last group. If you can get them to aggro on you while the chicken runs past just let him get a bit of distance, then vanish to drop aggro. They'll reset to where they spawned since they're not in combat with the chicken and then you just follow him to the shore.
Good luck!

Finish all 3 OOX escorts and the quest to get your own mechanical chicken will become available.

The quest is nothing more than handing it back in to the quest giver.
7,100 exp for doing nothing more than acquiring your very own non-combative mechanical chicken.

Trying to get the Mechanical Chicken, I decided to go back with a 70 toon and finish up this chain. I've had four blues drop and an epic (Ardent Custodian), killed over 4,000 mobs throughout Feralas, and still no quest item drop. I know for a fact I haven't done this one, since I cannot get the OOX of your Own quest, and I just recently finished the Tanaris and Hinterlands portions. It may still drop, but that general 1% rate is certainly inaccurate as of this patch.

I can confirm the Woodpaw theory. I farmed animals for a few hours at 70, but on my 5th Woodpaw it dropped. Maybe just coincidence, but they are easy to kill quickly at 70, so a good spot nonetheless.
Also, keep in mind that a GM can tell you which of the OOX quests you have completed in case you come back and don't remember which ones you've done. Saved me farming for the other two needlessly.

I tried clearing out the Yeti caves repeatedly, I tried killing Woodpaws as some of you recommended and even did the Feralas zone quests on my mage but nothing I was doing would cause the
OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon
to drop.
However, I had the
OOX-09/HL Distress Beacon
in my inventory as I was trying to get them all before I did the escorts. After trying in vain for 2-3 hours in Feralas to get the beacon from there, I came up with the tinfoil hat theory that having the Hinterlands one in my inventory was causing drop issues. So I went to the Hinterlands and did the escort there and when I returned to Feralas, I got the beacon in 2-3 kills of Gordunni Ogres. Weird huh?

I'm getting no luck at all getting this item. I killed the rogue vale screechers for 2 days, no luck. Then today i started on the Woodpaw Gnolls, still no luck at all. I've killed maybe 60 and no drops.
It finally dropped after around 120-130 gnolls, alot less than the rogue screechers.

took about 1 1/2 or 2 hours of farming random clustered groups of mobs...and finally i tried gnoll grinding. After about 20 minutes, it dropped off one of the Woodpaw gnolls (mystic i think).
If you want a WELL populated area to grind, full of woodpaw mobs, head to 75, 56...all around that area just south and southwest of Camp Mojache has tons of woodpaws to farm.

Well.. for me, it took around three hours to get it to drop. First I killed probably a hundred ogres at least.
Then, I gave up on them, and killed about 50-75 gnolls.
That didn't work, so I went around killing Vale screechers (they have the highest drop rate). I killed roughly 40 of them as they are not as populated as the other enemies.
Well, I gave up on them too. I then went to the Yetis.. and I killed roughly 20 of them and it suddenly dropped!
I could be under estimating some of these numbers, especially the ogres (I could have very well killed 200+ of them), but I am almost certain I was grinding for 3 hours.
Ironically, the Hinterlands beacon dropped off of the 20th enemy or so.

Hmmm i was level 53 and i finished 2 chicken quest i decided to finish all 3. I started by reading this comment page to see what is more likely to drop this item. I went for the gnolls for 1 hour i farmed south gnoll camp the next day i went north and farmed them for 2 hours.
Got 4 greens 1 really nice head :P and i lost all my hope after like 400th kill then i decided to kill the last one. When he was at 15% i felt bored and i clicked on my baby blizzard bear to summon him and quess what that last gnoll DROPPED it. The feeling when u realise that the item you farmed for such a long time finally dropped is priceless!

I tried farming the naga for a while with no luck. Then I switched to yetis. I finally got lucky with Grimtotems just north of Camp Mojache. As an 80 DK, it was easy to round up all the ones around the sprite darter cage and just aoe them down.

Either it was just a coincidence, or the woodpaw gnolls have the best drop rate. I farmed nagas and ogres for about a half hour with no luck. It only took me 3 minutes to get the beacon off the gnolls.

This one is a pain. The one in Tanaris has dropped on pretty much every Zul'Farrak run I've been on, the Hinterlands one only took a little farming, but I've spent hours on the yetis around the site of the chicken (so not to have to travel far, and also because I was going there anyway to make sure I hadn't done th finding part already) and still have nothing but stacks and stacks of salable leather. Moral: Do this someplace that has something else you want. ;)

On my 1st toon, the beacon dropped from a harpy in the ruins of ravenwind while i was questing. On my 2nd toon, it dropped after i farmed a dozen or so yetis at feral scar vale. This was after i was farming 30+ rogue vale screechers with no luck so i am not sure whether the 1.3% drop chance is accurate.
If you fail the escort quest, just run back to where the beacon is near the caves and you can try again. No need to farm mobs to find the beacon all over again.

The Woodpaw are probably the best idea, but not for any gambler's fallacy theory about the droprate. They are best because they're found in small clusters at their camps, making for quick AoE for many classes, and because they drop mageweave pretty consistently. On the servers I've been a part of, mageweave is more valuable than runecloth, and the longer it takes to farm this quest item, the more stacks of it you'll have to sell when/if the beacon finally drops.
That said, no matter how you farm this, cross your fingers. I'm up over five stacks of mageweave with no bacon-- erm,
beacon.

I've farmed this item today to get my own robochicken, but I have to disagree with the posts above.
For 2 hours I've been farming the Gnolls and it didn't drop. Then I went to the yeti cave to try out my luck there and I got it on the 20th kill or so.

I have to say that I agree with Palm's entry above; I spent about 1.5 hours in Feralas, grinding through the Screechers, bears, hippogryphs & the humanoid groups with no luck. I hit the yeti cave more to make sure I knew where to find the mechanical chicken body (53.4/55.7 in the Yeti cave entrance, btw-look for the sunlight dappling down through the overhead leafy canopy-at least that's what I saw that marked the entrance) and since I'm a miner, I decided to grind through the cave (got 4 truesilver & a lot or iron that prospected into some nice gems). I got out of the cave & checkec my bags to see how much ore I'd gotten & saw to my surprise that somewhere in the cave one of the yeti had indeed dropped the beacon. I went back through the clearing outside the cave, wiped the prowling yeti, then went in & activated the robot. When you follow OOX out, he'll veer to your left outside the cave & the first mob of 3 yeti spawns shortly thereafter. If you cleared the area outside befre going in, you should have a decent time & the yeti do seem to hit the hardest of the three scripted mobs so any help is good. The second mob was the apes right around the beginning of the "sidewalk" then the third mob was a band of knolls. I did not get an exact count but it was at least 4 of them. AoE works great in all cases & sticking close to your OOX is a good idea, too. I did confirm with the Tanaris portion that if you fail you can go back to the robot & re-accept the escort without grinding another beacon (thank gods!) I have an OOX of my own, now, and he's just dandy. I call him Spot, cause I had to get the spot out.

Don't do the same mistake as I did:
Farming mobs in Feralas for an hour until I accidentaly moved my cursor over the chicken, only to discover that I had turned in the beacon while leveling years ago, and only needed to complete the escort. Bah.
Good luck getting the drop people :)

I looted this off a Woodpaw in one of the Alpha's camp. I farmed the Yeti's, hippogryphs, gorrillas and Screechers with no luck. Decided to go into the woodpaw camps. Found after about 20-30 kills. I would recommend this area because the mobs are closer together and respawn very quickly.

Just like the other beacon quests, this will pretty much drop equally from (-almost!-) any mob in the zone. So I would suggest there are but two main things to consider when searching for this item:
1. Number of mobs in area/respawn rate.
2. Drops.
I'd go with the largest concentration of ogres you can find as the mageweave will make you a nice amount of cash on the side (sells for 8-16g stack on my server).
In Hinterlands I went with only the trolls and made about 300g in mageweave and an additional 250g in wildvine in the 1-2 hours it took to get the drop.
Are there better ways to make money? Yes. But, since you're going to be killing potentially thousands of mobs, you might as well make some money on the side while you do it. Instead of 5,000 feathers, etc.
Note: If you skin, it might be more profitable to kill animals.
Edit: Down rated for trying to give helpful advice. Explain what part is wrong. haha I can understand if it is redundant, but I don't see an earlier post.

I don't know about a drop. I got the initial beacon that started the quest from a beast in Tanaris. That was a drop, yes.
I followed the directions (I use Carbonite, too) to the Yeti cave in Feralas. The crashed bot (the chicken) was in the clearing after the first tunnel/cave and before the bigger cave starts. There's a ? over it. It didn't drop from any Yeti 'cause I saw it before I got there.
As a 48 mage, the Yeti weren't a problem getting to it, as long as I waited until one was far enough away from another that my fireballs didn't draw attention (except the one being targeted, of course).
I got the escort quest and we made it fairly far before we were met by the 3 gorillas. They wiped me fairly quickly (wasn't prepared) and the chicken was still alive when I rezzed but died right after. There weren't any Yeti that chased us but I did get attacked by a bear. There's a LOT of them in that area. The chicken kicked his butt while I got the front and then we headed out.
I can see a ! where I first found the bot so I can go back and try again. But I'm going to wait until I am a little higher level.

OK... i have just started doing these now as i am very close to 75 pets...
I grinded for about an hour for the one in Feralas yesterday.... andf also sent a ticket to a GM to find out what if any i have done...
GM said i had handed in the hinterlands one but not done the escort...
So i headed to hinterlands and done it.... then went to tanaris to do that one as it was the nearest.... got the beacon on the FIRST kill....
I am wondering if you can't get a second beacon if you have not compoleted one of the other escorts?
Heading to felaras soon to see if i get the drop quicker this time ;)
To sum up.... deffo ticket a GM to see what you have done before and make sure you have completed the escorts before you head to the others :)
yeah... got it on 5th kill of the ogres near the cave :))
VERY happy now ;)

I would have to say I agree about the Woodpaws. I farmed the Ogres for a good 30 mins with no luck (very quick kills as an 80 feral Druid) and headed over to the Writhing Deep and cleared only two camps and had the drop. Already did the two other escorts, so now I get my chicken!

This Drop was a real P.I.T.A. I farmed about 3 generations each of screechers, woodpaws and Ogres... was on my way to farm the Yeti cave and it dropped from a stupid bear. lol I guess this drop is pretty random. I say be prepared to farm between 100-150 mobs. If you get the drop before 50 mobs consider yourself lucky. My other suggestion... and it might already be to late for this if you've resorted to looking it up on WOWHead, is to consider questing in Feralas. I didn't quest in Feralas with my toon and was fighting hundreds of mobs and getting no EXP cause of everything was 10+ lvls lower.

Isn't it weird how the only time you actually need to find it is when it doesn't drop. I could be questing and purposefully avoiding this thing and it will drop off multiple mobs. But as soon as I direct my attention to it, it won't drop. Isn't that the way it always works?
On a side note, been grinding this thing with my dualboxed warlocks for about 6 hours now, been killing most of everything on this list, and still no luck. It's a tough one guys.

This dropped after only killing 4 or 5 Feral Scar Yetis at the Feral Scar Cave. The actual one that dropped it was the one right at the entrance of the cave. I had previously farmed a few dozen of the northern Yetis in Rage Scar Hold, so I recommend farming the ones at Feral Scar Cave.
Also note that if you're grouped when this drops, your entire party will be able to loot the item off the mob who drops it, so you won't have to worry about trying to get it multiple times for you and your friends!

I suppose I got lucky really, I got mine in under about 70 Kills. I kept being forced out of areas by horde, it annoyed me at the time but in the long run it really was to my benefit.
However, seeing this was a Zone wide drop I decided to farm humaniods. The reason for this is two fold. 1). They drop money. average 3 silver a kill over 300 kills is 30 gold. 2). Cloth on my server sells REALLY well still.

(Lvl 80 shadow priest) - I thought I'd just grind my way through the top few mobs listed here and eventually I'd get the drop. I did the probability calcs based on the top drop rate and found a good circuit of rogue vale screechers along the coastline that respawned perfectly. After an hour, I extended my route to include the Vale Screecher area, the Hippogryph clusters, and in front of the Yeti cave.
Two hours, nothing.
My grind count (from notes on paper) - Rogue Vale Screecher (134), Vale Screechers (4), Grizzled Ironfur Bear (16), Longtooth Howler (7). I'm estimating another 40 hippogryphs and the Yeti outside the cave area. Eventually I went in the caves and clear them twice. NOTHING.
Finally I headed over to the Gnoll camps (71,55) and the beacon dropped on the 29th kill. Assuming a 1% chance to drop on any mob in the zone, I was at 229 mobs when it did drop. My cumulative probability was at 80% for at least one drop during that time, but it seemed very odd that it was that soon into a move to the Gnoll camps.
I suggest trying the gnolls first.
As the last of the three, I did get my Mechanical Chicken (

My theory, and it's based off of purely anecdotal evidence, is that the drop behaves more like a mining node or a fishing pool.
I have no way of knowing if it is true, but I believe it spawns on a mob, and only that mob can drop it until it despawns or someone else kills the mob, then it spawns on another.
This would mean killing the same mobs over and over would lead to a much higher bodycount needed to get it, and would explain the "I switched to X and it dropped in only Y attempts"
Of course, that could be explained away by saying people prefer to post those stories. But I believe these kind of rare drops aren't simply a 1% for each mob, where only quantity matters. I believe Blizzard wants to discourage that kind of grinding, and this method of dropping the item would do that.
Edit:
and yes, I finally got my own chicken. I hated the drop rate. I hope they add an achievement for 100 pets, with them constantly adding more pets, I'll get there eventually.

Hi guys, I started this quest chain yesterday, Found TN and FE in 3 hours ^^ Anyway, at FE I checked your guys comments and was heading to the snake like things to get it. then I just " Ok, I kill some of the wolfes just to check." I killed 1, and then U was about to leave when I killed another, just to be sure. and there I found it, at the 2 mob I killed O.o I got really stunned. A tip : Kill EVERYTHING u can find. even a little crap mob can drop it. the TN beacon I found when I was entering Zul Farrak the second time, killing scarabs. a tip is that u should gather all scarabs in ZF and then start AoE them all.

I was in Feralas for a week or so grinding for this item, and i use mobinfo to keep track of my kills
From the top drops:
Old Grizzlegut - No encounters
Rogue Vale Screecher - 46 kills
Vale Screecher - 41 kills
Antilus the Soarer - No encounters
Grizzled Ironfur Bear - 89 kills
Longtooth Howler - 87 kills
Gordunni Ogres (all of them) - over 600 kills (not kidding)
Woodpaw Gnolls (all of them) - over 500 kills (not kidding)
Ironfur Bear - 83 kills < and here it dropped!
This quest item is by far the hardest to get of the 3.. at least for me!

I would recommend going to Jintha'alor as it has a high mob density. You can kill your mobs to the top, and they should have repopped at the bottom. Also, you can get the (Now useless) Mallet of Zul'Farrak for practical or novelty reasons. It took me a matter of minutes of farming in this spot to get this precious egg.

Funny thing happened just now. 80 mage running around farming the gnolls for an hour with no luck, so I ran over to the chicken to see if I already turned in the beacon. I hadn't, but killed a handful of yeti adds on the way in and they dropped it... talk about timing!

I also found this beacon was the only one I really had to make an effort to get. After days of clearing out yeti caves, ogre camps and farming the vale screechers I finally got the beacon off a hippogryph.
My tips to people also farming for this... take breaks and don't try to farm it in the one sitting or you'll feel like breaking something. Just be patient and come back to it now and then and eventually it'll drop.
Also, I chose the hippogryphs because they fly within close proximity to each other and thus are faster to kill... the faster the kills the quicker the chance of the beacon dropping.
Good luck!

THIS IS THE SECRET OF THE BEACONS?
I spent hours and hours on my chars to get the third beacon and never had it drop. I started to think about it and realized that no 1 and 2 always drops in lots, no matter what zone you are in, but no 3 takes for ever. When i picked up the 2nd one i was struck by a cunning plan. I abandoned the 1st quest (the beacon stays in you inventory and you can accept it again), some day later i went to Feralas to search for no 3. After 6 kills it dropped. So, this is what to do: DONT DO THE QUESTS! It seems that theres a built in droprate change so that the 3rd one gets much harder to get if you have done the first two quests. When you have all 3 in your inventory you can accept the quests and complete them.

As of 4.0.3a this item has a 100% drop chance from the Feral Scar Yetis. I tested this by looting the item but not taking the quest and then proceeding to kill over 20 more mobs (each dropped one).
EDIT: After accepting the quest the item would no longer drop from the mobs.

I did all 3 of these previously and was rewarded my mechanical chicken pet. But I just received the new version of this in Feralas. So will there still be a pet reward fro completing all 3 again? And will it be a different skin than the original?
But I can confirm that if you have already done this with the old ones, you can get the new versions.

As of 4.0.3:
I do not think you can get all three beacons any more, I think It is now set so you can only do 1 of the 3 of the escorts, but there is a higher chance of getting it to drop, if i am wrong please let me know, and feel free to downvote.

I was in Ferals re-grinding all the old quests, and the homing beacon dropped from the very first Feral Scar Yeti I killed. And, until I accepted the quest, every single Yeti after that. Once accepted, the beacon stopped dropping. The escort itself was easy as pie, as it now just takes you to the closest road. One two-yeti ambush, and the chicken blasts off.
I haven't checked in Hinterlands or Tanaris to see if the other quests are equally altered.

Ok so I (80 lock) decided to train enchanting and needed an iridescent pearl for a rod. I heard that the nagas in feralas have a good drop rate for big mouth clams and decided to go kill those for it. Apparently in patch 4.0.3a the drop rate for clams was very much lowered or some mobs no longer drops them (one of them being these nagas i think). Before noticing this I killed 5 and the last one dropped this beacon. Now the thing is this. I remember completing these quests getting the mechanical chicken and selling it.
Now I assume that this means that everyone who completed the 3 beacon quests before the patch can now do them again. If the mechanical chicken is still rewarded I dont know, but the beacons drop again. If i find out that the chicken is rewarded yet again, obv me and lots of ppl will farm them once again. Just wanted to let ppl know.
Cheers.

For everyone shocked that they can redo these quests, it's because reset almost every quest from before the sundering. I had the old world loremaster and when 4.0.3 happened maybe 100 of my old quests counted.

According to a GM, if you've done all three of the OOX escort quests before 4.0.3 was implemented, then only the Feralas escort will have been reset. The ones in Tanaris and The Hinterlands will
NOT
have been reset, therefore don't waste time on farming for the distress beacons in the previous two zones if you know you've done them pre-Shattering.
I should also note that the quest which gives you the Mechanical Chicken pet after finishing all three escort quests doesn't reset either if you've done it already. :(

This seems to be a 100% drop rate from
Feral Scar Yeti
s. I was doing the quest
Improved Quality
there, got one off the first mob, didn't accept the quest and consequently saw one on every mob from then on.

Well.. wow.
I've read all the comments and decided after getting the one in the Hinterlands to skip and head directly to the Feral Scar Yeti.
I kill one.
The beacon drops.
EDIT:
Ah.. i didnt see Hitaltair and Hallerion's comments above this one xD
So i suppose i'll confirm the "100% drop rate" :o
Can't say if it's 100% but it sure feels like it.

As of The Shattering, this quest has changed. If you have done the quest before, you will have to do it again in order to get
An OOX of Your Own
, per a GM that I petitioned. Before Cata, I had done Feralas and Tanaris already. After The Shattering, I finished the last one (Hinterlands), but I did not get my OOX. Upon petitioning a GM, this was the response I got:
I wanted to let you know that I have looked into this issue for you. It appears that, while you have completed the Feralas version of the quest, it has since been updated, and no longer counts as a pre-requistie for An OOX of Your Own. In order to get your OOX, you will need to find the OOX-22/FE in Feralas again!"
So it looks like the Tanaris one did not change, the Feralas changed/reset, and I don't know about Hinterlands (since I only did it afterwards).
I started killing ogres in Feralas, trying to get this beacon, with no luck. After reading Wowhead, I moved to the yetis: first kill dropped the beacon. Killed one more, just because it was nearby... and that one dropped it too! Two for two. Third one didn't drop it. Wanted to agree with the previous few posters that it appears to be a 100% drop rate off the
Feral Scar Yetis
if you have not done the quest or looted the item yet.

If you did "An OOX of Your Own" back before Cataclysm, the item will NOT drop again for you now.
Many old-Azeroth quests that existed before Cataclysm can be repeated now, but apparently the various OOX distress beacon quests are not among them.

I can tentatively confirm that the drop rate for this item has been increased by no small amount (if not 100%). Killing Rage Scar Yeti's and other mobs yielded no Beacon, however when I went into the Feral Scar, I mass pulled the yeti just outside the cave. The beacon dropped on Every. Single. One. eight in all.

Just FYI, it is the
Feral Scar Yeti
not Rage Scar as stated.

I would go for the Yeti's in the Feral Scar. I always get the drop in there while leveling, which I usually don't want. Though doing it today on my Paladin main I've noticed they've made it a ton easier. She got the drop off the first Yeti - which is the normal drop rate for me there. Definitely, go for those Yeti's.

I did quest for collecting hides at the same time. I got this from each yeti. Around 20 of them, because hides dont' have 100% drop rate. And when I remember how much I had to kill in Hinterlands... want to hurt someone from Blizz real bad :D

A long long time ago when all things Vanilla were common and they werent named Vanilla...I thought I had done this quest in Feralas. SO after finishing farming the other 2 beacons, i went here--went to the cave entrance where the chicken resides and killed the first mob. And guess what drops...the beacon for Feralas. lol. I was like, no way....well I guess I didnt do that quest...so finished the escort and am now in Flight to Booty Bay to pickup my Mecho Chicken...I hope he has freaking laserbeams.

I can confirm that this now has a 100% drop rate from Feral Scar Yeti's.
I imagine that Blizzard did this because this was the only beacon of the 3 that received new quest ID's with Cataclysm, meaning if you did it before the expansion, you have to re-do it now.

Just took my goblin through Feralas, and got the beacon on my last Rage Scar Yeti. I turn in the pelt quest and go directly to the Feral Scar Yeti quest, and after more than a dozen kills, there is a beacon on every single one. Don't know if that's intended, but it's crazy as hell.

For those trying to hunt down:
OOX-09/HL定位器
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定位器
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定位器
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定位器
has the highest drop rate from
深痕雪人
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
你自己的OOX
and get your
机械小鸡
.
Happy hunting!

For Alliance I advise farming the
Grimtotem Marauder
in and around New Thalanaar. They are super easy to kill, have a ridiculously high respawn timer, and have a chance to drop the
Sprite Darter Egg
.
I did this on my 85 Worgen Warlock, if you intend to do this on your high level Warlock, then I advise using the following macro.
#showtooltip
/tar Grimtotem
/cast Fel Flame
/cleartarget
This will target one of the mobs, cast
Fel Flame
and then clear your target. It will always target a live mob first, so just put it on your actions and spam to your heart's content. Got the beacon
Hope this helps.

As of 4.3 it is no longer a guaranteed drop from the Feral Scar Yeti's.
It is still quite high though, usually drops within 5-10 kills.

This thing drops at a ridiculously high rate. Even when I have one in my bag already. I'm just trying to up my skinning level on these damn Yetis and it just keeps droppin and droppin and droppin. So annoying.

Suggest for other Pet collectors out. These are things I farmed while working on Mechanical Chicken
"FE Distress Beacon" ==> Noxious Whelping for Emerald Whelpling (also Sprite Darter is a Zone Drop)
""TN Distress Beacon" ==> South Sea Pirates for rep with the neutral goblin towns pushing towards United Nations. Does not reduce Bloodsail rep. (I was about half way through revered with each, so it was well worth it)
"HL Distress Beacon" ==> Jade Ooze for chance of Oozing Bag which may contain Disgusting Oozeling

I was killing Feral Scar Yetis for the beacon and went to the robot, where I was able to pick up the escort quest without having the beacon first... a bit puzzled... but hey...

I highly suggest downloading the addon npcscan. Two out of the three beacons I found were picked up from rares that the scanner alerted me to while I was farming randoms mobs in each area. Happy hunting!

Others have already left guides, but I'd like to point out you need to get all 3 different beacons and do all 3 escorts to get the pet. Each beacon works for the corresponding homing chicken-bot, which is in the same zone as where you found the beacon. The 2 letters after the / in the beacon's name denotes the location it's from. Some posts were misleading in only saying that you need to get the beacon once, you need to get all three once. :P

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

With the introduction of Shadowlands, the script to run checks on quest completion has been deprecated. I have updated the script to work for Shadowlands.
/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",C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(q))end end
