This quest is terrible... Spawn rate is so low it is completely undoable right now.

Comment by Nachtmerrie77

THEY FIXED IT! <3 Hotfixes for July 2nd: "Drab Hoppers now respawn much more quickly for the quest "Gold's No Object.” - yessssss! I have completed this quest on my alt today and the respawn difference was huuuuuuge :) I even managed to take a few screenshots of those little Gnomit buggers <3

------
Another idiotic quest that takes ages to complete since the gnomits take ages to respawn and there are plenty of people around trying to do the quest. Will the Blizzard ever learn? Live servers are not PTR so the respawn should be adjusted accordingly.

Edit: Luckily it can be completed in a party, so get the full party, spread in the area to cover the most of it and goodluck! (Amourette @Draenor EU)

Comment by Sibryc

The objective is to find 7 clickable critters in the area. They're distinctly outlined with yellow.

Right now, the spawns are shared and only one player is able to click any given objective, making this quest quite the bottle neck.

Comment by Sunaru

Horrible spawn timer, but doable in a Group

Comment by Cyrsztof

Beta testing this quest on live! Literally 30 people trying to find a single one of these, it's so much fun! Thank you blizzard for making such a challenging quests <3

Comment by 695399

This one is currently bugged on EU, as there's no quest objects (Gromit) to capture.

Comment by Voltzlab

Comment by spid3rs1

Why would you think its a good idea to make the spawn timer so long for this when you just released the zone and every person is trying to do this quest ?

Comment by AdmThrawn

Another quest designed to waste players' time. Pinnacle of current wow dev team design philosophy. Either group up (which still may not greatly speed it up) or don't bother doing it. Perhaps in 9.3.5 respawn will be faster and more than one person will be able to loot the little buggers (one can dream).

Comment by Lilbolt

Another &*!@#$ed quest with almost no mobs and super slow respawn.

>>>This quest has now been hotfixed, but I still feel that this wouldnt have happened if they tested it properly or with more than 1 player at a time.<<<

Comment by Exephia

GET INTO A GROUP

This quest is very poorly design with spawn rates, get into a group! You share credit.

Comment by Diamonds13

Find a group and be patient...

Comment by varenne

Gromit respawn timer is currently bugged, you have to wait near the respawn point
to grab it before other players. It took me 15 minutes to complete the quest.

Comment by ED209

Don't know why Rendle calls them pests; they're adorable!

Comment by KodiakJedi

Literally sat there for 20 minutes in a group of 5 before we finally got all 7. This is the dumbest quest ever designed. You have a slow respawn rate, in a small area for a daily quest that everyone is doing. Whomever came up with the idea for this daily needs to be fired.

Comment by KodiakJedi

Comment by Eromlig

Spawn rate is terrible and would take hours doing it solo, just join a group via the Groupfinder and have it done in less than 5mins.

Comment by shadosan

To complete you *must* group up otherwise you stand very little chance to capture the little pests. It's like competing against 20 bots in a 50x50 meters area to collect herbs, except the herbs instantly disappear once collected...

Comment by Lemistio

Find a group and camp some spots I guess

Comment by Volleynova

Sat at 53, 37. There's a chance for two of them to spawn here, and sometimes one after the other. Good luck.

Definitely a messed up quest, got it done in about 10 mins. Reported the quest to Blizzard.

Comment by Ambyrlei

I realize this will probably be an unpopular opinion but... drop the quest and move on with your life. No sense getting aggravated at something so inane. Wait for a fix, or just do two today, and try for three tomorrow. It's not a sprint.

Comment by omedon666

Welp, found the first "nope" quest of 9.1. I'll wait until I see this quest in some kind of hotfix or patch notes before touching it again. Walking up and seeing a bunch of stationary "campers" was the first red flag. Not worth my time or yours.

Also, "competitive clickables" are so 2005. The concept is antiquated.

Comment by LainiWeiz

Why do Blizzard never learn?

Comment by Cholador

Sadly, as of 7/2/21, it's not worth doing unless you get a korthite crystal.
you need to get 7 of the little gromits, each one takes around 3 mintures to respawn, per location, and there is atleast half a dozen people trying to grab them with you.
Try doing it on your main for rep or crystal if you're desperate.

Comment by Taramina

This qualifies for a spot in the Worst Quests Ever category.
Group
Camp or
Drop it and move on.

Comment by Virgo4Ever

I used this macro to find them. It pings a noise and puts a target icon on the unit when it finds one:

/cleartarget
/tar drab
/run local r,T,t,a=SMRI,nil,"target",{8,7,1,2,3,4} if not r then r=1 end if UnitExists(t)then T=t end if T then if GetRaidTargetIndex(T)==nil then SetRaidTarget(T,a) PlaySound(120,"master") r=r%#a+1 end end SMRI=r

I just spam the macro until I get a ping. You can change the target name and use it for other hard to find quest items like the bloat flies in Maldraxas or bulbs in Ardenweald.

Comment by gameleon

The grouping up and the collective bashing of the quest by the players walking around in this area really gave me that "community" feeling that has been missing from WoW for so long. Although probably not in the way Blizzard intended.

Comment by Currently

Whoever made this quest, and more importantly, wrote the code for the spawn timer needs to be promptly fired.

Comment by Haxan

After months of testing this patch we get a quest that is like this? Wtf....

Comment by dagrimone

well gold might be no object.,,,, but the time investment in this one is

Comment by fdiaz90

Big NOP. Stupid Design.
Same as stupid design as bastion 2 world quests who overlaps and can't complete because bosses doesn't spawn on the spot they supposed to.
Reported on DECEMBER, and came back a month ago, still not fixed. Same @#$% is gonna happen here probably.

Comment by c4ctus

Join a group and have each person camp a spawn point. Took me around 15-20 mins this way.

Side note, the designer responsible for this quest should have to run a marathon on a road made of LEGO bricks.

Comment by RedCat30

This quests requires you to click little yellow-glowing critters. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/YMAImge.png

The spawn rate is abysmal (update: apparently improved now in a patch), and the critters disappear after anybody clicks them. Quest credit is shared among group members though, so I strongly recommend grouping up, either using the group finder or by inviting random people in the quest area.

Comment by dagrimone

this has now been hotfixed in todays round of hotfixes dated 2nd of july

Drab Hoppers now respawn much more quickly for the quest "Gold's No Object.”

Comment by Wraitth

Just completed this quest late at night... Like almost midnight & it took like 60 seconds :)

Thanks!

Comment by Gestopft

A month later, and the respawn rate for the quest is fixed. The rewards are pretty fun. The rewards list is incomplete; there are about 10 different "Gold Filled" objects that it can be, with varying amounts of gold, and sometimes another item. I.E. "Gold Filled Hat" comes with a iLvl 200 (or 207) upgradeable helmet piece for your class.

Comment by draelyn

how is this quest not called "drab, nab it"?

Comment by Darthvixen

this daily was up today on US-Alexstraza/Terokkar. with 16 characters that I had did the quest, rewards were mostly anima tokens or korthia relics; no reward was something that gave gold. so presume the gold nerf has come to roost here
