The Customer Service Forums (US) have an on-going thread about the three individual drops needed for this quest. If you are unsure which of the OOX you have had drop for you, post and the friendly GMs will let you know where you are in the quest line!

Wondering which OOX quests you've done?

Macro 1:

/run f,z=CreateFrame('frame'),{[485]='The Hinterlands',[351]='Tanaris',[2766]='Feralas'};f:RegisterEvent('QUEST_QUERY_COMPLETE')

Macro 2:

/run local s,t;f:SetScript('OnEvent',function() t=GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t[c] then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'found OOX in',v) end end);QueryQuestsCompleted()

Press the 1st macro, then the 2nd, the game will tell which OOX quests you've done. (Macro author unknown.)

If you're looking for the eggs individually, get ready for some farming. Youve got a good chance to get the Tanaris beacon from a run in Zul'Farakk, But the Hinterlands and feralas ones required some decent farming. Theres a huge camp full of Woodpaw Gnolls in Feralas that work nicely, and in the Hinterlands look for Mangey Silvermaine wolves.

I really like this pet. I wish he had OOX in his name though.

I can't belive people sell this one on the AH. Once you get him and sell him, you can't ever get him again. I know, I know... some people just aren't into pets like we are. But seeing this one on the AH makes warcraftpet collectors cry for those that know not the joy of companion collecting.

With Patch 3.3, the lua allows for addons to query the server for which quests you have completed, which means certain addons can tell you which of the OOX quests you've completed, or partially completed, or whatever!

I used the addon "EveryQuest" from wow.curse.com. Worked like a charm.

Happy Hunting!

The trick I've found for preventing the chicken from ignoring combat is to lag behind him so they attack the chicken first. If it's actually engaged in combat it will stop and fight rather than leave you to die. He's not bad in a fight either, usually almost dropping one of the mobs while you're working on the others.

You can still get this pet in 4.1
The Shattering changed the Ferelas quest, if you did the old one it no longer counts and you'll need to do the new one before you can get the pet.

Once done;
You may also get an error about not meeting the requirements while claiming the pet (I did) just accept the quest again and it should go through awarding the pet.

This chicken needs to be brought up to the size of the ones you escort, and it needs its name changed to an OOX codename

P.S: why was my suggestion of OOX-04/U downrated so badly?

If you are doing these quests at low level, be aware that the chicken in the quests likes to keep running sometimes when mobs appear leaving you to deal with them alone. I remember this happened to me in Feralas at least. This is easy way to fail the quest if you're too slow killing them and chicken gets too far from you.

For the beacon in Feralas, the easiest way is to farm the yeti's, I found the drop rate to be good and it's really close to the 00X.

In the Hinterlands, if the wolves (mangy silvermane) are giving you a hard time, I found that the oozes in the cave of skulk rock worked wonders for most of my characters.

The beacon in Tanaris will almost always drop in zul farrak, but if you don't want to do the instance, the pirate mobs south of Tanaris also drop it (though not as frequently).

Good Luck!

I finally found the last 2 of the quest drops i needed to get this pet while doing a scavenger hunt for my guild. I was so excited but when I learned the pet i was vastly disappointed to see it was only a uncommon pet. Well, here is hoping to find a Battle-Stone to up its quality.

It's nice that these are BoU but I accidentally learned a second one (had farmed it to sell it) and because they're not cageable, I can't get rid of the duplicate unless I release it. =/

After hundreds of kills, reading pages of old information, trying out completed quest macros and chat requests.... i found the OOX0-09/HL laying on a rock in the

middle of a lake waiting for me to find him.  Just an easy find and follow, no more looking for a drop!

With the amount of hazzle to get this companion, you'd think they would make the companion rarity for pet battles into blue.

I had a LOT of issues with these quests. The Hinterlands one glitched and I had to contact customer support to restart the quest. Then I still didn't get it and contacted them again, and they told me I never got the Feralas quest, which I know I did. For those of you who have issues, you're not alone. Contact customer support and if nothing else they can help tell you which quest you're missing.

You need to do all 3 quest lines with the beacons before you get the pet. Just wanted to clear that up for you :)

This pet was ridiculous to get, post-cata. I got it on my ex-main quickly pre-cata, but last week, it took me 5 days (3 in Hinterlands). Feralas was quick, as listed yeti drop it in a few kills. Tanaris took 100+ kills outside ZF & then I did 2 full runs of ZF before it dropped. Hinterlands was absurd. 200+ kills, then did ALL the quests, then 300+ more kills. Went to BB, showed that I didn't meet requirements for OOX of my own, but turned in tanaris quest, and I got the pet!! Confusing..

Gnarl Leafbrother dropped 00x-22 FE for me in Feralas, co-ords 68.5/47.5, or halfway between Dire Maul and Camp Mojache for those who don't have co-ords.
He was the first kill in the zone for me.

A highborn poltergeist attacked me in Darkmist Ruins in Feralas. Surprise! That was the final escort quest, coming about a year after I'd given up farming for it.

This is the one of the few mechanical pets that doesn't require engineering to create. All you have to do is escort OOX-22, fending off swarms of yetis, gorillas, and gnolls, all the way to the Feralas coast. Then guide OOX-09 through the Hinterlands, fighting oozes, wildkin, and packs of invisible wolves. Next hit Tanaris to lead OOX-17 across half the zone, thwarting scorpids, basilisks, hyenas, rocs, and bandits. Yup, that's much easier than getting a few mithril bars and some jade… but I'm not bitter.
