Zone Drop Farming - Mob Level Question

I'm trying to farm the Elixir of Giant Growth recipe (
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6663
) and I noticed on the page here for it that the Sunscale Screechers and Scytheclaws both have over 110k times killed (which seems like a good sample) yet the level 13-15 Screechers have over double the times the recipe dropped than the level 15-18 Scytheclaws do.
So: does mob level matter when farming this? Thanks.

The reason for this is the Percentage. To get a good idea, dont look at the percentage. Look at how many actually got the item from how many kills, an example:
Barrens Giraffe - 18 out of 6830 - 0.3%
Find Percent of Two numbers example:
You need to find out what percent is 18 out of 6830.
Percent formula explained using above example:
First: divide first number by second number.
18/6830 = 0.00263
Second: multiply result by 100.
0.00263 x 100 = 0.26%
Third: Round.
0.26% = 0.3%
So basically, the percent is of how many actually got the item and how many kills. So out of 6830 kills, only 18 people got it.
yet the level 13-15 Screechers have over double the times the recipe dropped than the level 15-18 Scytheclaws do.
This is because more people kill the Screechers than the Scytheclaws.
To clear it up. Find something that has a higher Acquisition per Kill ratio.
