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.

I received mine from the Tauren west of the Horde Camp. Had to kill about 12 of them, was questing for their horns at the same time =)

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 went from Gnolls to Yetis.. From gorillas to Flying snakes.. From wolfs to hippogryphs..
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.

When you look at drop rates you need to consider the number of mobs killed. A 50% drop rate cannot be relied upon when there are only 6 mobs killed calculating that rate. Look for the high number killed drop rates for better accuracy.

Is it at all possible that your chances of it dropping increase the closer you are to the chicken? For the Tanaris and The Hinterlands beacons, I was near where the chicken was when the beacon dropped.... I still need this one but haven't started farming for it yet.

Look, the robot is inside the Feral Scar Vale, so you would have to get inside throug the cave. Many yeties, so be careful. The exact coordinates are 53,55. That beacon dropped from Ogre (dont' remember the name) Warlock.

My little lock was level 48, and had completed the escortes in Tanaris and Hinterlands, and decided to try for this.
Went to the yeticave, just where the robot is, at 53,55, and started killing yetis. Beacon dropped after maybe 15 kills.
My advice is to clear the yetis in the tunnel out, and those just outside the tunnel before you start the escorte.
One thing I have noticed on my three escortes, is that if you take aggro from the mobs before the chicken aggros them, the chicken will continue running like nothing happened! So my tactic was to run a bit behind, and let the chicken draw aggro, and then be quick to pull aggro of it. Then it will fight along side you untill the mobs are dead. This goes for all three escortes. Both in Ferelas, Hinterlands and Tanaris. But don't let the chicken have aggro! It dies easy!
As previous posters have said, there are three waves of mobs that spawn. The last one is the worst, with 5 mobs. But as long as you are capable of handling that, no problems at all!
My biggest challenge on all these escortes have been to avoid ganking hordies! Hehe...
Delivered all three escortequests in Booty Bay, and got my mechanical chicken! Yey!

It took me about 4 or 5 times to complete this quest. IMO the worst wave was the last (for me it was 4 Mosshides). I'm a level 47 Druid.
From doing it so many times, I figured out that if you get too far away from the chicken (either running ahead to meet baddies, or lagging behind) he won't stop to help you fight. If he keeps on running, try your darndest to catch up with him and he'll turn around and fight with you.

Took nearly three hours of farming but finally dropped from a grey yeti. Just reinforcing the belief that there isn't a level cap for the drop.

I had figured I would go back and do these sometime and finally got around to doing this one as a 70 warrior because i want to get my own robot chicken for fun. I am on the Zangermarsh PVE server and was having problems getting the drop from the Yetis. I ran into a long time player who suggested killing the ogres in the ruins. I started farming at the Ruins of Isildien in Feralas and sure enough got the drop from a warlock at 61,72. I wonder if these kind of drops are server specific depending on the type of server in order to make getting the rewards more difficult sometimes. Anyway happy hunting all. :)

Got mine for a Gordunni Brute at Lvl 70. Had to spend the best part of two hours switching between the yeti at the feral scar and the Ogres at the Isilden ruins to get it to drop.

Did this quest on a 58 feral druid to get chicken pet today. Got the beacon off of a gray mob within 10 minutes. (One of the Yeti in the cave) I am confirming that there is NO level cap for this drop.
Just luck.

Finally found it gnoll farming on a 70 druid, good thing is you can keep grinding them non stop even with the 1 shots because there are so many just south of Camp M. Got 7 greens and 4 stacks of mageweave also.

Gnolls @ 68,54 dropped it on the 3rd kill, SS above.

Easiest thing I found was to go to the Cave at the northern coast of the Isle of Dread. I would kill Lord Shalzaru then kill all of the Hatecrests in and around the cave until Lord Shalzaru rez'd. Lord Shalzaru has a good drop rate and all of the Hatecrests are capable of dropping the Beacon as well. So you're in one small space and everything you kill increases your chance of getting the drop. Try that. I got the drop after 20 minutes of grinding.

... Hatecrest Sorceress, after the 5-6 kill.
call it luck, I call it fate today.
Anyhow, I follow the suggestion to go for it to the lair of Shaluaru on the Isle of Dread.

I found the other two beacons while questing casually. Then, I realized that I needed the feralas one still. I walked over to the spot and realized I needed the beacon. I was panicking and trying to find it, so I went to the other Yeti cave, where I already had the "Pristine Fur" quest. I started AoEing them, and, lucky as I was, the first thing to drop was the beacon!
At level 50 this quest was EASY. But for all mages its easy. Just AoE: Time it so that you flamestrike as the charge, pop your bariers, freeze, and then AoE (recommended Bliz, as it crits now.) At lower levels, and not a mage, lock or hunter, this quest would seem hard.
As well, I found a glitch I believe. Tell me if I'm wrong, but is there supposed to be a yeti ambush in the begining, when one exits the cave? My chicken randomly stopped then got attacked and the yetis went to where it was going but then turned around and stood still in a random spot.

HUGE waste of time. My advice is you grab all the quests in Feathermoon Stronghold or Camp Mojache and simply do them. If it drops, great, do the escort, if not, SKIP IT. The drop rate for this is HORRIBLE... like 0.3 % chance, that's 1 in 333. I wasted an hour and a half trying to get this before I gave up. You can get MUCH more experience just questing than grinding to get this.
The only way I could see anyone wasting enourmous amounts of time grinding for this is if you're going purely for the pet for your achievments or you collect pets, in which case, settle in for a long haul. If you're an engineer, bring a repair bot with you if you don't want to have to travel back to base to sell junk. ;)
The odd person may get it fast, but at 0.3% drop rate, don't count on it.
One note, if you're a skinner, grind on the yeti's, preferably the ones at Rage Scar Hold (53,31). They give better leather and also drop a pristine hide which you can turn in (repeatable too, I turned it in twice). If you're not a skinner, I recommend grinding the crabs (for alliance anyhow) west of feathermoon stronghold, they drop clams with Zesty Clam Meat, which would sell well on the AH (cooking quest needs 'em). Also Nagas in the area drop golden pearls sometimes.

Good call on the cave on the northern coast of the isle of dread. I spent several hours killing all kinds of other creatures and it never dropped, but after 1 clearing of this cave I had my beacon.
评论来自
Thottbot
The drop rates indicated above are not reallistic because once you finish the quest you can't have the beacon again.
Therefore any other kill won't drop the beacon and it appears to be very rare when it might not.
评论来自
Thottbot
Something to keep in mind...did you get the item before? did you try the escort fail and not retry it. if so the item wont drop for you. instead the chicken will have the escort quest waiting for you

Thottbot
Dropped off a Longtooth Runner after maybe two hours of killing. Funny thing is, I killed the wolf just outside Feathermoon Stronghold where I was going to go on a rampage out of frustration. If you really want the pet or the quest credit, just keep at it. Nothing more to it.

Killed about 90 of the woodpaw knoll guys and it dropped. Easy to grind as a 80 resto shaman.

I'll second the gnolls. 80 Ret Pally, went up to the camp north of Mojache, killed 25-30 of them before the drop.

Confirmed drop off of the gnolls north of Camp Mojache. Mine dropped on the 18th kill. 70 dk.

I killed the yetis for awhile... went to the gnolls, dropped off the 4th one. I'd suggest the gnolls if you're farming for this!
评论来自
Thottbot
So, I killed the Yeti's by and in the cave for 45 mins, and then the water creatures for at least an hour. Decided to try the gnolls..6th kill it dropped.

Thottbot
Ok, so I came to this continent to find the beacon, I killed some ogre typ thingies, like 30, then 20 of those gnoll thingies, then just a gray bear and it dropped.. so, drops off everything (ofc).... I went for gnolls as people here seem to find it among them, well... it's all just luck, so kill all you can see, don't go by what people say here.
评论来自
Thottbot
Wanted to confirm again, I farmed the yetis for over an hour thinking they were the best drop rate. 6th kill on Woodpaw Monrels.
评论来自
Thottbot
After reading all these comments, I fully expected to spend a few hours farming for the drop.
I decided to head to the norhtern Yeti cave to start the process.
Got my distress beacon on the first drop! Totally caught me by surprise.
Good luck to all ... I'm of to Hinterlands to find the last of the 3 beacons.

After 30,000+ kills, approx 1000+ gold from dropped silver and greens and trash loot, maybe 200 gallons of coffee, 2 months, and 12 hours a day, i finally got this beacon. Dropped from a yeti inside the cave by the chicken. Time to get me a ROBOT CHICKEN. LOL

I grinded on the Zukk'ash mobs for an hour with no drops, but then I could mine the caves at the same time. Then it dropped on the first Zapped Land Walker (I used Zorbin's Ultra Shrinker in a quest). Looking forward to my mechanical chicken - funny pet.

OMFG!
So i've been randomly killing stuff in Feralas for an hour to get this thing. After that hour i pop back here to check what had the highest drop rate. I alt+tab back and see there's a Stinglasher pathing right up to me. I kill it and it drops the beacon.
Allakhazam you're my good luck charm!

This appears to be the more rare of the 3 beacons, overall. It's not something you would notice on just one character, across multiple characters this is the one I've seen the least of.

evil. If blizzard made a dungeon with achievement that you beat the boss called , 'bad drop rate' ppl would be lined up just to get it. Shoot, even pvp servers ppl would make the meeting stone a sacred no pvp zone and you'd have a website with a list of ppl on your server that broke that rule an would be KOS.
the hinter lands one fell during the aeri peak quests, the tanaris one dropped during the pirate quests for steamwheedle .
But this one, never not for the all of feralas. I've grinded over 1000 enemies. No dice.
I've touched every possible enemy that ppl say drops
hour with the woodpaws, the ogres (the lvl 52 ones and the isildien), nagas (lord and the cave also ), yeti city / cave c0mplex (both of them), hippogryphs, even that snarl rare spawn black wolf in the northern section in lower wilds, the silithid in their tunnels in writhing deep and that rare spawn qirot, sea giants and elementals (for the miniturize beam quests and elemental cores), screechers . . . grimtotems . . . haven't tried the dragon sprites cuz alliance can't target them (or maybe its nelf only, my human mage, shes too young to be up in those woods)
even the creatures near the two colossal sector
nope.
I mean I'll try again, in a few days but dang . . . I think maybe cuz I'm looking for it. for Aeri peak and Steamwheedle, I was just questin' . ..
you get nathing'
hope fully others will have better luck with the list of creatures

I spent five minutes farming the Gordunni ogres and got my last OOX drop. If you haven't quested in this area, you can pick up the Ogre kill quest off of Rok Orhan, a female orc that wanders up and down the road in Mojache. Gives you something to do whilst farming for your robot. Good luck!

I got one off a woodpaw
*** UPDATE *****
Ok I've done this on 4 toons (1 ally, 3 horde on 2 diff servers), and like someone previously said, this is the hardest one to drop out of all of them. I've even got the non ferales ones to drop 3x during quests in the hinterlands and tanaris . .
My luck has been with the woodpaws around 73 54 (if you don't know jack about coordinates, open up your map and it displays under cursor (and then move your iron glove hand cursor so it moves you don't need to d/l 1000 and 1 programs just use your map). I've gotten it in less than 100 kills . . .
and I've killed and maimed all over Ferales, and so far the woodpaws had dropped it for my toons
*** End of UPDATE
3 days of going into feralas, picking a group to bomb, killing 100 and leaving if nothing shows up.
I finally got it off 7th woodpaw kill. and I'd done the other two quests.
ppl at the AH said you can't have other beacons as beacons in your inventory lower chances of the next one dropping / if you've done other quests helps the drop rate . . .
but I asked a gm pal, she said . . . she heard it but no official word from bliz about it . . .
so I can't deny nor verify this . . .
the rewards are well worth it, plus end xp 10k . . . and a . . pet ..

After 2 long days and nearly a full level from 47 to 48 of grinding mobs, I finally got the beacon from a Hatecrest Naga. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when I first started grinding for the beacon I didn't have any quests in my quest log for Feralas. Yesterday I farmed mainly Gordunni and Woodpaw for about 5 hours in various places around Feralas with no luck. Then today I decided, might as well do the quests here since it can drop off of any mob. I picked up the Hatecrest Naga Scale quest from Feathermoon, and in about 45 minutes it dropped.
Good luck to anyone else looking for this beacon.

Once you start the escort quest, the beacon disappears from your pack. However, all is not lost if you fail the escort. All you have to do is delete the failed quest and go back into the cave. The chicken robot offers you the quest again.

This quest is clearly bugged - tried it 3 times now, every time with the same result:
As soon as you are near the bridge and the chicken says that "Danger imminent" crap, 3 apes spawn....and the quest fails instantly.
No warnings, no nothing - it just fails the very second the apes spawn!
What the hell, Blizz - why don't you properly test your goddamn quests? >:(
Edit: After looking into it, it seems one of two things will happen as the apes spawn:
1) The chicken will despawn instantly and you fail it instantly
2) The chicken will run past the apes and they will all aggro it, killing it in 10 seconds (and even if you manage to take aggro on all of them the chicken will just continue its run, leaving you behind with the apes, and the quest will fail)
GRRRRR.........!

All the chicken quests have had and seem to continue to have problems in Classic, including the last one I tried in the Hinterlands, where the chicken committed suicide two minutes into the quest. At least that was something I hadn't seen before. More often than not they are a source of massive agida, strange new curses and unexplained hair loss.
Have fun and just skip these. If you get one, you can't even give it to somebody you don't like because it's soulbound. Treat it the same way you would an angry, radioactive rattlesnake.
