I think this quest is really buggy, and I've noticed some reports on Thott as well.

I originally recieved this quest like a week ago.
(You retrieve it by looting the Empty keg located near the Venture Co. Sludge Fen in North East Barrens)

The bugs begin here.
3/4 of the guildmates who had tried to loot the keg - including myself, experienced loot-bug. We couldn't loot it, but we were stuck in loot mode. I relogged in and tried again, and luckily I was able to loot it successfully. I was the only one who had such luck.

Anyway. So I delivered it to the Brewmaster in Ratchet, and did the first Collection quest he sends you on.

Then for the second part, he sends you out to collect some other stuff. I can't remember what it is at the moment, but it basically involves collecting 5 items from the higher-level thunderlizards in the southern barrens, 1 item from a greater thunderhawk, and 1 item from a kodo or something.

The Kodo item was no problem. The thunderhawk was a pretty rare drop, but I got that without a problem, too.

But the 5 items refused to drop.
I counted over 200 kills over the course of 3 days before I gave up. 0 drops. Other members of my guild experienced the same problems.

I tried the quest again on Wednesday, and I got them all EASY. Like 5/6 drops.

My guess is the scheduled maintanence on Tuesday fixed the problem?
Or is someone else still experiencing it?

And yes, I was killing the correct/same mobs the whole time.

In beta it wasn't bugged and I did the quest just fine. That's all I know...

I did notice that after i got the keg the first time(i got it around the gnolls just northeast of xroads) and tried to loot it again it got me the bug all the time. Don't know about the second part cause I never did that part.

When I was levelling up I got the lootlag trying to pick up the keg as you described. I just assumed it was because that was when the game was new and there were MASSIVE item DB problems, but I never got around to trying again.

It depends on which lizards you are killing, the 2nd part of the quest requires you to kill the level 23 lizards in the southern barrens.

Yea, its a very buggy quest. I expereinced the loot-bug of chen's keg. I was told that the keg is dispersed all over the barrens, and was able to find another one. I dindt have problems with collecting certain reagents, but i did have a completed quest given to me again. Had the problem like 2 months ago. I'd expect it to be fixed already, but it isnt=(

you are supposed to be redoing it. As far as i recall i got it to redo again but no xp the 2nd time. Just like those "collect this <insert meat> and i will make you roasted <insert inserted meat> wings"-quests. They are redoable because you are then able to get that item more times than 1

It is alwo the only quest for the Undead that will give them faction with orgrimmar.
Other repeatable quests are the wastewander water pouches, and the morrowgrain quest.

If you save these items up on your main and give them to your alt you can get xp multiple times on your alt for truning these 2 quests in.

It worked fine for me, the only time it did something buggy was the loot bug on his empty keg at the place you described (man im bad with names).
