Concerning the ~49% drop rate from the ironbeak screechers, I call B.S.
I've killed about 20 of these things and found 3 eggs.
Could the droprate for these have been decresed in 2.0.1 because 12 are needed for Artisan Cooking?

From Tanaris, the best place you can get these are from searing rocs at 33,60

Commento di 79760

The giant bone structures in Tanaris around the text Abyssal Sands on the map will have a ton of fire rocs that drop these. Clear out both the hyenas and the rocs and get these easily. This works well as you will get plenty of red wolf meat to cook into hot wolf ribs (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=13851 ) as well as buzzard wings for BBQ buzzard wings ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4457 ). skill up to around 250-260 for free as well. :)

I have enjoyed quite a nice drop rate from Winterspring Screechers (in winterspring) at around 61,57.
Be careful from their 7 sec silence! (though it has only a melee range)

Commento di Exorsist

63,59 - Winterspring.
The entrance to "Owl Wing Thicket". There are many Owl beasts and the drop % is quite good too.

Commento di Mudling

The Primitive Owlbeasts in The Hinterlands are quite reliable for Giant Eggs. My favourite place to hunt them is around 28,58 and 46,67

After accepting the quest in GZ, the huge skeleton in the middle of the Tanaris desert is probably the best spot, and you'll still get Exp when starting quests there. Respawn rate is high and there are plenty of them. The vultures in the Badlands are apparently too low to drop giant eggs.

I just got the eggs (for the cooking quest). Have to say it went a lot smoother than I thought I would after reading some comments. I farmed the owls in felwood and it worked like a charm. After a while I found a way to circle around the whole area working new owls all the time without having to stop.

Start at the beginning of felwood (south). Work your way up on the left of the road. When u get about to the bridge, change side and work your way down on the right side. I didn't time it but it took about 15-20 minutes.

Any warlocks doing Rage of Blood will pick up a lot of these. If you happen to be in Winterspring and see a Warlock farming Owlbeasts, maybe ask him if you can take them off his hands. I had 3 stacks by the time I was done with the quest.

Commento di Garrett

To collect these for the Cooking 225+ Quest: Clamlette Supplies I found this to be the best route: Map: Giant Egg Run

Start at Gadgetzan and head South to the giant dinosoar Skeleton and circle around it killing Fire Rocs.
When they're all dead, head directly North killing any Greater Firebirds and Rocs you see.
When you reach the mountain edge turn back to the dinosoar Skeleton by which time the Fire Rocs be back.

Took me around 5 "laps" killing 30ish to get all 12 Giant Eggs.

Hinterlands - The Savage Owlbeast (LVL 46-48) seem to have a fairly high drop rate; located around (58,52).

Commento di 88936

the birds in the blasted lands also drop these fairly regurlarly.
bonepicker http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=5983
black slayer http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=5982
loaded up on eggs and mystery meat while farming them for vulture gizzards for a quest. and almost no one actually quests there anymore so its easy farming.
Vulture Gizzards and Mystery Meat should sell fairly well on the AH, but dont even bother trying to sell the Jet Black Feathers.

just make sure to read up on this guy http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=7846 before you go there.

The Owlbeasts in Owl Wing Thicket, in Winterspring, have a very fast spawn and droprate.

There is usually noone around here and the Owlbeasts have very low health compared to other mobs.

Commento di 177989

What I did was the following... I quit near one of the skeletons in Tanaris and came back later that night. (at about 1AM) There was nobody near them at that time (obviously as most people sleep) so I had all the Rocs and fire Rocs to myself.
In comparison, at day ( 4PM aprox) it took me almost an hour to get 4 eggs. At night it took me only 12 minutes to get the other eight.

The pro's:
- All the birds to yourself (less wandering around)
- Farming galore (as no one else is around, so nobody cares, however, put them up for auction and people will buy them for loads)
- Lots of extra XP

Cons:
- More creatures wandering around (had to kill lots of hyena's and basilisks)
- Need to get up late at night.

Personally I have found Hinterlands rather troublesome to farm these in. The Savage (and I think Primitive too) Owlbeasts share spawn points with the wolves, which are stealthed. So no only do you have to kill mobs which you may or may not be after (tender wolf meat is always handy for leveling cooking!), you also have to be in close proximity to see them.

I'll be heading back to Tanaris. Yes Searing Rocs share spawn points with the Hyenas, but atleast they are gathered in small clusters which I found was much more ideal.

Just my opinion anyway. Good luck getting those eggs!

Winterspring, just north of everlook. Took me about 5mins to collect my 12 eggs by killing both the Winterspring Owls and the Raging Owlbeasts.

Commento di 284598

The best place I have gotten them is in Winterspring near Owl Wing Thicket. The Coordinates are 65.8, 60.6. You will kill various versions of Owl Beast that range in level from 56 - 58. I had a drop rate of ~ 30 % from killing 50 or so of them. While some critters have a better drop rate, I have found the respawn rate in this area to be quite fast and I barely saw any other players there while gathering the eggs.

Commento di 284941

Just a warning. DO NOT FARM THESE IN TANARIS!

Me and a friend have been farming different kinda of Roc's in tanaris for both our cooking quests. After 1.5-2 hours we got 14 eggs and quit farming because the respawn was too slow and their spawns are SO spread out. Not to mention we had very bad luck with drops... about 20% for us.

We ended up buying the last 10 Giant eggs from AH for 60g which is well worth it and would've saved us a lot of time >.<

Commento di 331117

Owls in Felwood seemed to be closer to 1 egg in 3 to 4 drops.

Commento di 372604

If you are farming these to level your Cooking skill I'd recommend going up to Everlook, head a bit north and farm the Raging and Ragged Owlbeasts, along with Winterspring Owls. They are pretty packed together whereas the owls in Felwood are more spread out so the drop-rate might be better but you won't be killing as many of them. Don't kill the Ice Thistle Yetis though, as I don't think they drop from them.

Commento di 384933

I found tanaris to be fine to farm these. The drop rate is a bit "meh" for a lack of a better word but the time spent traveling to winterspring or hinterlands to farm owlkin for a slightly better drop rate is time I could spend farming the rocs in tanaris.

Unless of course you're already in those areas and pick the eggs up before hand or something.

Commento di 210838

On my server these can be a solid moneymaker , a stack of 10 sells for 16 gold!

Commento di 736884

These now drop of the Fir Rocs in Tanaris. Makes the cooking quest so much easier.

Commento di 747127

Cataclysm : Giant Egg can also looted from Fire Roc in Tanaris ( South of Gadgetzan )

Commento di Camril

Your best source to get GIANT EGG is to kill Savage Owlbeast in the Hinterlands.

Commento di cyberdreck

I can no longer farm these in Hinterlands all they are dropping is small egg. I have to recommend going to Tanaris or winterspring , i will check Badlands and see if they drop there.

They do drop in Badlands but you have to be ranged in order to pull the buzzards. I was able to fly into them to pull to the ground.

Commento di 807127

In Cata. I killed about 15 Owl and got ten Giant Eggs. 61.86 in Winterspring. They are level 54. Plus, they had good Runecloth drops.

Commento di 25632

DO NOT GO TO HINTERLANDS. I've killed over 20 savage owlbeasts and i've only gotten small eggs. Should have stuck to tanaris.

Commento di Vv0LF3MAN

I AGREE WITH vodanh

Tanaris is a good place for drops (giant eggs)

I'd give give it 1 egg for 4 kills. Im a 85 frost mage and ice lance is a 1hit on the Fire Roc's. Plus theres lot of them anywhere theres a animal remains.

Commento di 746413

For anyone interested in cooking here's some useful information!

First of all, this is great for leveling cooking and is in my opinion best farmed from as you should easily be able to get from 225 - 285 farming in the same area:

25 x Uovo Gigante from any owlbeast in the zone, the drop-rate isn't too good, but there are a lot of them.
40 x Costato d'Orso from the shardtooth bears located just east of Starfall Village.

I've been looking around on wowhead, and the part about getting the recipes is really outdated pretty much everywhere.
As of the Cataclysm, this goes!

Ricetta: Omelette Mostruosa is bought from several vendors, including Himmik in Everlook. (needs 225 cooking)
Ricetta: Polpette d'Orso is learned by cooking trainer. (needs 250 cooking)
Ricetta: Kebab d'Orso is learned by cooking trainer. (needs 250 cooking)

The two last recipes green out at cooking level 285, hope this helped (:

Commento di Nyloaf

For anyone having trouble finding these Giant Eggs, a really good place to try farming is in Tanaris at the coordinates /way Tanaris 44.70 40.36 and in any of the surrounding spots that Fire Rocs spawn in nearby.

For reference, I farmed the Hinterlands primitive owlbeasts for almost 30 minutes and saw 0 Giant Eggs drop, I went to Tanaris and killed 5 rocs and got 3. It's your call, ultimately, but it is in my opinion far more efficient to head to Tanaris for these eggs first.

Commento di violetta

I didn't know giants laid eggs!...

Commento di DaemoniKira

I had pretty good luck farming these from Zampalunga delle Paludi in northeastern Swamp of Sorrows, which is a couple zones northeast of Stranglethorn Bay. I averaged about 1 per kill; rarely I'd get none, but most of the time I got one egg per Zampalunga delle Paludi I downed. I only made one pass though before I had what I needed, so I can't speak to their respawn rate.
