These drop off virtually any roaming beast found in Shadowmoon Valley (but not on Netherwing Ledge) -- feboars, dimetradons, chimaeras, scorpions, etc.

When placing the poison, be sure to do so one at a time, wait for quest credit, then do the next. Trying to do multiple poisons at once, seems to only grant credit for one.

I also recommend you farm one extra poison and save yourself a trip back to the mainland. Chances are fairly high you won't get credit for one of the poisons you drop and you'll find yourself at 11/12. At a minimum, you can just use the extra gland the following day.

Better get 13 Fel Glands, to be sure. I put one poisoned mutton near orcs, but they just do nothing, so i don't get credit for that one.

To clear things up:

1) You can't get more than 12 of these. They are quest items and capped at 12. No more will drop when you have 12 in your inventory.

2) To avoid wasting them, never drop any next to a peon camp where the peons are standing completely still. These peons are evade bugged and will not give you quest credit. Only drop them where peons are actually mining the crystals.

(1) Want to stock up for the next day? Get 12, do the quest, but DO NOT turn it in yet. Go out, kill more mobs, get 12 more, then go turn it in. Your extra fel glands will not disappear when you turn in the quest.
Aparently, you can't get any more fel glands after you turn in the quest. I tried to get them from the same mobs i got the first few before I turned in the quest just to test it out.

(2) you don't have to be right next to the peons, just as long as you're pretty close. You can also be running and click on the Mutton and it will place it on the ground. I just run by, place it without stopping while running towards a new group.

I find that the best place to farm these is in the small felfire pool outside Eclipse Point, the diemetradons there respawn quickly and are easy to kill.

Comment by Kazhirran

Can u get the Fel Glands after u did the Q ???

Comment by norksman

As the Fel Glands are a quest item you can only collect them while you are on the quest.

Comment by Flynn444

The best drop rate is ~20%, so you'll need to kill around 60 mobs to obtain all 12.

Yeah, best to do this with 2 or 3 others.

Best place I've found so far is west of the aldor base, about a 90% drop rate off the felboars.

Comment by 96990

Generally the best drop rate for Fel glands is from Netherskates https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/npc=21901 not Fel boars or Greater Felfire Diemetradon since I tested it many times with 4 chars. If u look at percentage at wowhead drop rate you can notice that boars and diemetradons have 21,18,and17% and for Netherskates is 15% but amount of killed mobs is 3-4 times larger because many people kill without quest since they are in easy accesable areas and the Netherskates are mostly on high grounds and are reached with flying mount.

One more plus for Netherskates is that they also drop motes of mana and next to them are Air elementals who drop motes of air.So, less then 10 minutes is needed to get 12 glandes and maybe couple of primals. My favorite place is just south of Dragonmaw fortress, they are easy to kill and not many people go there.
Have a nice grinding :))

Comment by ArgentSun

As a paladin, I've found Felboars to be the way to go. Just west from the Altar of Sha'tar, and just east from the Warden's Cage, between the Cage tne the Black Temple, there are two groups that may not respawn fast enough, but it's good if you clear one, and go to the other. Exorcism adds a huge boost to my overall damage, and I prefer Felboars instead of the lizards or the chimeras.

I usually collect the glands from south of the Ruins of Baa'ri.

Comment by Allakhazam

I had a brilliant drop rate from Mutant Horrors, might just have been luck, but they're worth a try if anyone is having trouble getting these.

Comment by Allakhazam

It is not that better drop rate as from felboars, just a bit. Now I killed 9 horrors in a row and none dropped the gland.

Comment by Allakhazam

dont know if i was killing the right felboars, or what but i kill 15 of them and got all 12

Comment by Allakhazam

While grinding on Mutant Horrors for Fel Glands my drop rate seemed to be decent.
This is a good place because you can go around the pool killing, and by the time you get back to the starting point, they have respawned.

10 drops from 25 total kills
40%

I know its a small pool of numbers, but they seemed to drop good.
I was grinding on Felfire Diemetradon for these before, which were also a good spot. they are all bunched together in some places out of lava.

At time of writing this, the drop rates shown here seem really low (currently showing drop rate of 5% at best). In my experience so far, the drop rates are much better than this, maybe somewhere around 25% for a number of mobs.

Comment by Allakhazam

Prepare yourself for some heavy grinding for these, or pray to your gods, as it's all matter of luck - i've been getting statistically one gland per 10-15 kills on both horrors and felboars.

Comment by Allakhazam

Killing the mutant horrors was by far the best suggestion. Took me 5-10 minutes to get the 10 fel glands needed.

Comment by Allakhazam

if they stop dropping all off a sudden, chances are you have some in the bank :)

no need to go back for them, just poison some camps and get the remaining glands

Comment by Allakhazam

only drops with the quest :[

Comment by Allakhazam

The Mutated Horrors have by fat the best drop rate. For me, it was about 50-60%

Comment by Thottbot

You can only carry 12 of these things, so even tho 1 camp in 4 bugs out and you don't get credit, you've gotta go drop 12 pieces of meat, then come back and farm 5 more glands to be able to finish off the quest...

Comment by Thottbot

Its possible the drop rate seems low for everything else because these mobs are killed during shadowmoon valley quests rather than netherwing, so the fel glands wouldnt drop for those people. Netherskates arent exactly center of the map so they are only killed by people on the netherwing quests.

Basically the drop rate is most likely 15% globally for all mobs. These stats are messed up by the fact explained above.

Comment by Thottbot

the drop rate is accurate for the netherskates. i've just been farming them and it seems 1/5 or so will have it.

although i did get 4 out of 4 .. the last one i needed took 9 kills.

Comment by Thottbot

For this quest:
https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=11020/a-slow-death

Comment by Thottbot

This item drops only if you HAVE this quest.

Comment by Thottbot

Felboars seemed to have the highest drop rate for me. Almost 100%, maybe five out of six had the gland. Go figure.

Comment by Thottbot

for you SL/SL warlocks out there this is very easy for one you have siphon life which heals for about 200 (with fel armor) and you have soul link (plus if you master demonalogist have VW out and you take 10% less physicall less damage also)

ok heres what you do run to some fel boars and siphon>CoA>corruption then once you do that keep doing it to every boar in area then just sit there while your dots tick away

they only hit me for about 160-180 with both soul link and master demo and my siphon life heals me for 215 and they hit every 3 secs (same as every tick for siphon) so basicly your invinsible

takes about a couple groups to get all 12

P.S. if you are not a farming class like that then get a group ! you only need 12 between the 2-5 of you whihc isnt hard

Comment by Thottbot

Fel Glands seemed to drop the most for me off of the Felfire Diemetradons, almost 100% drop rate from them. At least for me, they are around the magma fields.
