The rare Heavy Marauder Scimitar is the one to want, and Galak Marauder carries it on under one kill in a hundred.The rest sits in the 26–34 band beside it: 8 items in all.1 of them drop from creatures living only here; the other 7 are rewards the zone keeps to itself.
Thousand Needles is thinner for a hunter than for most: 8 against the paladin's 19.The Horde board here runs to 46 quests against the Alliance's 25, so the two sides are not walking the same zone.By level 60 another 224 world drops can surface here, but they surface anywhere in Kalimdor and there is nothing to chase.A hunter outgrows the band before the list runs out, so fill the slots that are empty and go.
