This walkthrough is just a variation on the norm and combines 2 pet grinds into 1.
The mechanical chicken is NOT bind-on-pickup, so you can sell it for a hefty profit or give it to a collector friend.
Alliance
Before You Start:
- Get flight point route from Gadgetzan to The Hinterlands.
- 2 Elixir of Fortitude
- If you think you've done one or more OOX quest but can't remember which, petition a GM to find out.
[Freedom for All Creatures] is timed and requires you to protect the escaping Sprite Darters and Kindal, so I suggest clearing the camp before you accept it. When you open the cage door, they will scatter everywhere and it's annoying to run around saving them.
Finish, turn in, pick up [Doling Justice]. Keep killing until you complete the quest and recieve a [OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon] drop. It could take a while. If you're doing other quests in the area, feel free to move along, as anything in Feralas can drop it.
Turn in [Doling Justice] and get the followup of the same name which sends you to Darnassus.
At this point you're going to use the Distress Beacon and start the quest to find the chicken. The chicken is in the west (52,57) deep inside the yeti cave. Turn it in and pick up the Rescue followup. You will have to fight 3 ambushes of 3-4 mobs on your trek. As a 60 rogue with no aoe, this was particularly annoying.
Once the chicken reaches the western coast and gives you a quest complete message, swim to the island and fly to Darnassus (take a coffee break for the 9 minute flight).
Turn in [Doling Justice] to Tyrande upstairs in the Temple of the Moon.
Check the Auction House for 2 Elixir of Fortitude if you haven't gotten them yet.
Fly back to Feralas (second coffee break), get [An Orphan Looking for a Home] from Kindal Moonweaver.
Fly to Gadgetzan. Do not go see Quentin yet.
Kill mobs in this zone until you get a [OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon].
Once you get one, use it to start the quest to find the chicken at 60,64. Turn in the quest and pick up the Rescue followup. The chicken will lead you north to Steamwheedle Port, aggroing mobs along the way. There are only two ambushes along this route.
If you don't have your 2 Elixir of Fortitude, get them now before doing anything else. Also make sure you have your quick route to Hinterlands from Gadgetzan, as you'll have only an hour to make the trip.
Ride north of Gadgetzan, out of Tanaris and into Shimmering Flats (Thousand Needles). Keep going north to the Raceway (80,77).If you don't have an Ancona Chicken (not to be confused with Westfall Chicken), pick one up for 1g from Magus Tirth at the southern edge of the bleachers (west side of the Raceway).
You'll find Quentin along the bleachers just north of Magus Tirth.
Turn in [An Orphan], pick up [A Short Incubation], turn in the Elixirs and pick up the TIMED quest [The Newest Member of the Family].
You have one hour to reach Aerie Peak in The Hinterlands. I recommend flying from Gadgetzan to Theramore, taking a boat to Menethil Harbor, and flying to Aerie Peak. Takes less than 20 minutes.
In Aerie Peak, go down the mountainside to the Inn. Head to the back of the Inn and go downstairs. The guy is in the middle of the downstairs area.
Turn in [Newest Member] and pick up [Food for Baby]. Silvermane Stalkers are in the eastern half of the map and are stealthers, so ride on over and start killing.
Keep killing things until you get a [OOX-09/HL Distress Beacon]. Go ahead and ride northeast to 49,38, use the beacon to start the quest, turn it in, and pick up the Rescue followup.
The chicken will take off and you'll have two ambushes. Follow it to the southeast until it gives you a quest complete message.
Return to Agmar and turn in [Food for Baby]. Get the followup [Becoming a Parent] and turn it in for your pet.
Fly to Booty Bay (final coffee break for 10 minute flight) and find Oglethorpe Obnoticus to turn in your OOX quests and receive your robot chicken pet.

Before You Start:
- If you think you've done one or more OOX quest but can't remember which, petition a GM to find out.
Feel free to stay in Feralas and kill Sprite Darters for the pet drop (3.1 change).
Tanaris -- Kill mobs in this zone until you get a [OOX-17/TN Distress Beacon]. Use it to start the quest to find the chicken at 60,64. Turn in the quest and pick up the Rescue followup. The chicken will lead you north to Steamwheedle Port, aggroing mobs along the way. There are only two ambushes along this route.
If you don't have an Ancona Chicken (not to be confused with Westfall Chicken), pick one up for 1g from Magus Tirth at the southern edge of the bleachers (west side of the Raceway).
Hinterlands -- Kill things until you get a [OOX-09/HL Distress Beacon]. Go ahead and ride northeast to 49,38, use the beacon to start the quest, turn it in, and pick up the Rescue followup.
The chicken will take off and you'll have two ambushes. Follow it to the southeast until it gives you a quest complete message.
Booty Bay -- Find Oglethorpe Obnoticus to turn in your OOX quests and receive your mechanical chicken pet. (The reward for this pet opens up once you turn in all three, so if you think you've done one or more, turn in the ones you can still do, one at a time, and see if it opens up. You can also petition a GM to help you figure out which of the quests you've already completed.)

ReplyDeleteCan you do that? I'd think they would get annoyed answering requests like that.
That's the only answer anyone had for how to find out if you've done the quests. One or two said their GM answered them wrong, but none (that I saw) said the GM blew them off.
ReplyDeleteNever had problem with a (european) GM. As long as you stay honest, friendly and don't ask them to babysit yourself, they'll do about anything for you.
ReplyDeleteYes, they even redistribute loot from 5 man heroics if the wrong person picked it up.
And, yes, if they tell you to destroy the item so they can assign it to the other person, they mean destroy as in destroy and not as in disenchant. They can see that. Still makes me giggle that she tried that back then. :-)
As a side note. During Christmas 2007 you got this clockwork robot pet. I destroyed it back then with my main but I still got the feat of strength for it. Unfortunately, I could not restore it with the pet NPC. I asked a GM and he restored it for me. 1 pet more for my collection.
