WoWhead drop rate values are almost always wrong. Especially for quest items as they require a condition for looting and may thus not drop the item when you kill the mob normally and this might still get registered.

In this case I mean when the quest has already been completed. Anyway, 100% is likely not correct. I can check the db for it later. Loot drop percentages cannot be sniffed so idk why I made that booboo. It is still early

The best way to obtain this information is by hopping on a classic realm or the PTR and kill these mobs over and over again and registering when they don't drop it and when they do. If you get hundreds of kills you will start to see a more accurate number. Truly a painstaking process
