After you speak with Tooga, he follows you wherever you go. Just run him to Steamwheedle Port, in the northeast of the zone. He's slow, so you have to go on foot or he won't be able to keep up.

Stick around when you finish the quest, the dialog is funny :)

This is one of the cutest quests in all of WoW, when you find Torta, her and Tooga have a very cute conversation. Call me a sap, but it was adorable!

Also, just an useless piece fo information, the Spanish word for turtle is ""tortuga"". Get it ... Torta and Tooga :)

Just a word of advice..if you pull aggro, STOP AND KILL IT. Tooga will keep attacking it until it's dead, so if you try and outrun the aggro, Tooga will fall behind.

You pretty much set the difficulty of this quest yourself by choosing how straight of a path you want to take. If you're willing to take the time to go around NPC patches (especially the Dunemaul compound) you can do the entire quest with no aggro.

The largest problem I ran into was opposing faction members harassing the poor turtle. I was able to solo with a 48 Blood Elf Pally.

START: Tooga spawn right in front of me at 29,60
FINISH: Found Torta on the beach at 66,25
Run around mobs and avoid aggro. You'll have plenty of time to make it if you know where your going. Tooga was able to run faster then me so if you have a mount then use it but don't get too far ahead. (or mages use Blink) Just keep some distance so he stays running at top speed for him.
Completed with 16mins left & fought 1 mob on the way.

Did this quest as lvl 46 lock. Easy...

Tooga makes such childlish comments like:
- I'm thirsty.
- I wish you could just pick me up and carry me.
- How much further to go?

My advice after just doing this now is to not go diagonal, once I started going straight up and across it was easy as pie, I have like 16 mins left on the clock and Mr Turtles comments were the only thing keeping me sane because the walk got that dull :P

P.S. Druid cat form is a great speed for him, you don't outrun him too fast, Travel Form is a bit excessive

For any druids doing this: Get to the water and then swim him up to steamwheedle while in aquatic form. He can swim at the same speed as you and most of the things you see in the water aren't hostile.

I found Tooga just past the South end of Thistleshrub Valley, also referred to as, ""The Cacti Garden."" It's a good quest to do after completing ""Thistleshrub Valley,"" and ""The Thirsty Goblin,"" because it gets you back up to Steamwheedle Port, which is right by Gadgetzan. Really easy, it's just that if either of you get in combat, he'll fight to the death, so fight with him! It helps to target him when you're not in combat, so that when Tooga gets in combat, you'll know. The dialog was funny in a really stupid way!! Here, so you can share my laughter. ^^
Tooga says: Torta, my love! I have returned at long last.
Torta says: You have any idea how long I've been waiting here? And where's dinner? All that time and nothing to show for it?
Tooga says: My dearest Torta, I have been gone for so long. Finally we are reunited. At long last our love can blossom again.
Torta says: Enough with the rambling! I am starving! Now, get your dusty shell into that ocean and get momma some grub.
Tooga says: Yes, Torta. Whatever your heart desires.
You can tell that wife REALLY CARES. xD

Tooga follows YOU, you don't have to follow him. He walks at around 110% speed, so running with a steed might get him lost.
He attracts almost no aggro and if you take care where you walk you can walk all the way without fighting a single mob.
You have 30 minutes, but can do it in 10-15 minutes if you avoid fights.
(druids can use https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=8955 Soothe Animal, to avoid more fights)
(hunters can use track beasts/humanoids to manouvre between mobs more easily)

https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=5955 Tooga is found between (29,60)-(30,73) , around Thistleshrub Valley. You might have to wait for him to respawn.
He doesn't roam much, mostly stays at the same spot.

https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=6015 Torta is at (66,25) , just south of the Steemwheedle Port in the north east. She's always there so no waiting there.

Mobs neer Tooga are lvl48-49 elementals.
Mobs go down from lvl48 to lvl40ish in the north (scorpids/wolves/basilisks/pirates).

If you arrive, Tooga's gonna have some words with his wife:
  • Tooga: Torta, my love! I have returned at long last.
  • Torta: You have any idea how long I've been waiting here? And where's dinner? All that time gone and nothing to show for it?
  • Tooga: My dearest Torta, I have been gone for so long. Finally we are reunited. At long last our love van blossom again.
  • Torta: Enough with the rambling. I am starving! Now, get your dusty shell into that ocean and bring momma some grub.
  • Tooga: Yes, torta. Whatever your heart desires...
  • Torta: And try not to get lost this time...

Do not share this quest! I accepted the quested, joined a group, and the damn turtle followed the group leader who was the only one who got credit for it. Anyone who is not the group leader will not get credit for it.

Very easy quest and good XP... On a side note, I had the Ogre quest and I took him along with me and my pet to do it on the way :-)

He does not do much damage (17-21 is what I think it is) but it was funny to see him go after the Oger's with my pet. I had plenty of time to complete the ogre quest and still had 5 minutes on the clock...

make sure that if you get aggro on the way to kill that mob...if you run it is possible for tooga to follow that mob back and fail the q. happened to me when i was about 1 minute from reaching Torta. :/

Just a quick note. You can do the chicken escort https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=648 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=648 at the same time. I had about 5 minutes left on the timer when I got him to Torta.

Try not to run through any areas where other people are questing. Tooga seems to react to any nearby player being in combat. I tried running him through Waterspring Fields (the area with all the nomads) and several times he ran off to attack mobs other people were fighting that weren't anywhere near us.

Tooga's damage is extremely low (only 10-11 damage per hit to the mobs near where he spawns), making him largely useless as a ""pet"". When you're fighting multiple enemies, you can get him to tank one if you don't do anything to generate threat on it (if you generate threat you'll pull aggro almost instantly since Tooga generates very little threat due to his poor damage). Tooga has good armour and HP, so he can take hits pretty well.

Overall, this is a very easy, if somewhat monotonous, quest. The hardest part of the quest is actually getting it, since Tooga won't be available to escort if someone else is already doing it, and there's often competition for the quest since people come to the area where he spawns for https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3362 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3362 and https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2605 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2605.

Like caewen said above you can do https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=648 Rescue OOX-17/TN! at the same time (which starts from https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=8623 the distress beacon). If you do both of these at the same time 22650 experience which is a nice chunk of a level for roughly 20 minutes of work.

Pretty easy quest.

He follows you so that makes it much easier, just go around places like waterspring field and dunemaul compound, and just kinda bob and wave through the random mobs on the way and you should be good.

I got it done in 15 mins with a couple of agroes.

The walk is dull, but i still recommend doing this quest just for the dialog at the end.

Quite easy for an ""escort"" quest which I usually avoid doing. Find Tooga in Thistleshrub Valley while killing Dew Collectors for the ""Thirsty Goblin"" quest. Tooga was actually standing (if that's what turtles do?) in the middle of several Thistleshrub mobs. I was killing all of them for the Dew Gland needed for the Thirsty Goblin quest. The Dew Collector roaming right by Tooga was the one that dropped the dew gland I needed. After killing him I clicked on Tooga and go the quest to escort him to his wife just south of Steamwheedle Port. Pretty much a straight run east to the other side of the zone and avoid all the aggro you can. Torta can be found on the beach about 50 yards south of Steamwheedle Port. When I did this quest Torta had a question mark above her head but it was grey, not yellow and it did not show up my mini map. Click on her to complete the quest.

This quest turned out to be one big joke for me, just running around having fun with the turtle I decided to do the quest as level 80. Everything was going good, I wasn't complaining, he was! Well at last we made it to Gadgetzan and I was reliefed now it was safe route..!
UNTIL two stupid horde came around killing me! I just used 20 minute a fat turtle complaining about getting sand in it's toes and I GET KILLED.
Well when I got back to my corpes it said quest failed, way to go! I felt like the turtle had fixed this up and wanted to assassinate me!

Story of my life, no boner goes unpunished!

This quest may be a reference to one of the very first Dragonball episodes when Goku and Bulma met Roshi's sea turtle. It was lost in wilderness (I believe it was a desert) far from the sea and was escorted by Goku to the Turtle master. It made me smile when I realized how long and boring the quest is going to be (for my 80lvl) and reminded me of the DB.
Is it really Ok for sea turtles to speak without any explanations? :P

Confirmed for counting towards Loremaster of Kalimdor (Horde).

You can buff Tooga with Power Word: Shield and if you have the Body and Soul talent, he will run faster for a short period.

Funny to note that even after the quest has been turned in, you can buff Tooga but you can't buff Torta.
