That is really funny! Three in 15 minutes... I wish I was so lucky with other drops.

Yes, the recipe drops ridiculously often while questing in the Barrens nowadays.

It's a real shame, but it's not really strange luck, it's just a kickass recipe that is as common as muck now.
Look in many guild vaults and you'll see an abundance of these recipes along with Elixir of giant growth.
I made some good gold off these back in the day because newbies didn't really know the value so they appeared fairly often on the AH cheap, and could be snapped up and re-listed for 1k+ (and they always sold)

It's standard for that thing to drop so often on Horde...on Alliance? Not so much.

well that's cause this recipe drops pretty much only in the North-Barrens in which the alliance pretty much has no quest.
however just going on a killing spree in the zone should make one drop quite quickly, for what ever faction you are.
You'd think so....but sadly, not so much. I tested that once, and after the recipe dropped three times in a row for my lowbie Horde druid in that cave with all of the Quillboar, went there on my max level Alliance Death Knight and slaughtered the manpig cave multiple times, and didn't see it drop once.

Yes but as you are fond of telling people.
RNG is RNG.
I don't think it favors a particular faction, It's just Horde kill way more mobs in that zone than alliance, and if it was rare for Alliance the AH prices would reflect that and I have not seen that at all.

The two recipes also drop like mad in Southern Barrens. I usually do that zone on my Alliance characters and the quantity of recipes I get before I am done turns them both in nuisances. I don't even vendor them anymore, I just delete them.
