Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to get this drop as part of the Bo collection. Per wiki it drops from Tengu in Auric Basin near West Watch. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Silencing_Down_Feather

I spent a rather long time finding a way up onto that plateau and started killing Tengu. I learned that the Scouts don’t drop anything at all, that I can’t solo the Champion though at least he leashes very fast so I didn’t have to flee the plateau, and that there is a spot where an Assassin and a Warrior spawn and they drop very minimal stuff, whites and blues.

I’m not a farmer and I hate grind and I would really like to know there is a chance for me to get this drop in this location before I waste my time on it. Can anyone confirm the wiki’s information? Do I need to get a bunch of folks up to kill the champ?

I seem to recall getting mine before running into any Tengu but I don’t know where it was from, maybe a champ bag.

I wonder if jungle raptors or the black moa in VB might drop it. I’ll have to try them. Sorry, feathered jungle beasts, you’re about to be a target just for existing.

I got the feather from a tengu that was alone up in a tree a bit away from the rest of the tengu, I had to climb up on some treefungus that made a “stair”. Cant give you directions, as I have no idea how I got there.
Hope this helps, but probably not

Mine must have been from the Quetzel Cache.

Mine dropped from one of the scouts somewhere on the map. It’s random, just like the other “drops from mob type in Maguuma maps” items in the other specialisation collections. There’s a bunch of Tengu northeast of the eastwatch waypoint though that’re easier to reach than the ones near Westwatch, maybe try those if you’re set on farming the item now.
