How long does Beer Basted Boar Ribs take in WoW Forever?

Short answer: Beer Basted Boar Ribs is a Dun Morogh quest that wants 6 Crag Boar Ribs and 1 Rhapsody Malt. The ribs drop off Crag Boars, but only for the person who loots the boar, so a group doesn't get them any faster. I had one rib, gave up, came back, and it took me 17 Crag Boars and about 20 minutes to get the other five. It took so long that I ended up at 75 skinning.

Where do you get Beer Basted Boar Ribs in WoW Forever?

In the original game it's from Ragnar Thunderbrew in Kharanos, and the Rhapsody Malt comes from Innkeeper Belm inside the Thunderbrew Distillery. I did it on Short, my level 7 Dwarf, and it showed up in my tracker as a level 7 quest: 6 Crag Boar Rib, 1 Rhapsody Malt.

How many boars does it take to get 6 Crag Boar Ribs?

My combat log has me killing 17 Crag Boars between 6:40pm and 6:59pm Thailand time, and I got five ribs out of them, because I already had one from an earlier go. That's about one rib every three or four boars, on one run, so don't read it as the drop rate. It's just what it cost me.

It took so long for boar ribs to spawn that I was killing the boars and the wendigos around where the boars spawn when I needed my six ribs, and I ended up at 75 skinning. My bags were full of leather by the end of it.

Do Crag Boar Ribs drop for everyone in your group?

No. You have to get your own ribs from your own boars. I was grouped with my brother, Gaspode, and we both needed six each, so every boar only counted for one of us. He got his before me, and after that I was killing them by myself.

So grouping up doesn't make this quest quicker. If two of you need ribs, you need roughly twice the boars.

Is it worth doing?

I handed it in, and I can't remember what I got. It wasn't that great.

As of 6 November 2026, from my run on Short in Dun Morogh. The boar count and times are from my combat log; the log doesn't record loot, so which boars dropped a rib is from my bags and loot chat. The quest giver and the malt vendor are from the original game's data.
