Encrusted Tail Fin (10)

Description

Our rocket car is the fastest thing on the flats! So fast that ... I'm afraid friction is going to tear it apart!

To prevent that I need to create a composite to coat the car's moving parts. It must be hard but not brittle, and must be resistant to salt corrosion, or time spent on the Shimmering Flats will eat it away.

Have you heard of the Vile Reef, <name>? It's off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale. Saltscale murlocs live there, and their tail fins are a crucial ingredient of my composite.

Reward

Also, you get: 35

Progress

Do you have the tail fins? If I can't protect our car from its own speed, then it won't last long in these races.

Completion

Thank you, <name>! After I grind these down and fuse them with a few other ingredients, the composite will be ready. And after that, the car will be safe from its own speed.

Safe, as long as it doesn't hit anything...

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 345 experience (20 70 at max. level)

Quite easy to do. I myself managed to do this by myself as a lvl 38 Fire Mage. Just make sure you don't stay underwater too long ;)

I would suggest either have someone give you underwater breathing or buy a few potions, many ofthe mobs are so deep that if u try to pull them to the surface they reset from distance.

Anyone know why I was unable to pick up this quest? I have not done any of the ones in this area. I am Level 42. Wanted to do it while I did the pearl quest.
Level 42, I found the NPC, only quests he had for me was the ZG one and one of the old low level ones.

3300xp as of 2.3, a reduction ? maybe because they are no longer elite.

Very easy now after 2.3 as above have said, the murlocs are no longer elite. The drop rate is 100% which is great however you really are going to want a underwater breathing potion or a warlocks unending breath buff before hand. Its not needed but i'd recommend it because it sucks having to swim up to the surface after every kill, which you could just stay down there and get it done faster.

I did this as a lvl 34 shadow priest, the murlocs are mostly lvl 33-35, there are however a few lvl 37s but not many.

I found this quite a pain as a warrior. Mobs were no problem, drop rate was 100%, but I had to pull them and swim up to the surface every time to avoid drowning, and they reset quite a few times.

Definitely recommend getting yourself some underwater breathing pots or an unending breath buff if you're a melee class doing this.

As a rogue for this one I would simply hit the casters with my ranged weapon and swim up to the surface. The caster would expend all mana and then just swim up to me.

36 Rogue they hit me for ~85 dmg for frostbolt and took off ~450hp before coming up to me.

Your mileage may vary.

EDIT: The oracles cast much harder than the Tide Lords I originally posted about.

Same here, I got all 10 by killing 10 murlocs.
