[wowhead list it at 66%](https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=26410/...horn#drops) but I wonder how that is calculated for items that only drop when a quest is active ?

Ok. Does the wowahead addon check if a quest is active ? The item could drop 100% when you have the quest, and 359 people didn't have the quest when they killed it

I've used the wowhead client in the past. I'm pretty sure it collects as little data as possible. Take their percentages with a grain of salt.

Their % is estimated from the data they get from their users

Yes that's my assumption as well. Currently, the item is configured to have a drop rate of ~65% when the quest is active.
I think that's wrong, and it should be 100% when the quest is active. I'm not sure if there is a good way to check that or should I just make a PR with that change

That's how retail was. Early quests were usually 100% drop. As the quest levels increased, the percentage would usually drop.
