You can find the lake at 35,35. Most of the plants needed are underwater. The elementals are immune to ice.

They are all around the lake(Has no name, but it's in the Darkcloud Pinnacle area). The plants are orange/brown and scattered all throughout the lake.
Elementals are nearby, levels 27 or 28

I found the mobs hard to kill in close combat.
Fist of all, they DPS is crasy. Everytime they hit me, they damage around 90. And when they critt they damage is on 130. Sometimes the mobs uses a stun that last 3 sec. They even uses a curse or something that gives you 30% chans to miss. For casters they are not so hard but look out rogue, warrior, pala and drood, you wont take 2 at the same time.

The quest giver says northeast, but it's really just east.

they might look like water elementals but they do only fire dmg, even their melee is fire
so fire ward is very handy

Thist quest is pain in the butt for fire and especially frost mage. The elementals that hover in and around the pool are immune to frost spells and have very high resist rate on fire spells. So most of the time the only option is to spam AE or Arcane Missiles, and without the talents in Arcane tree Arcane Missiles gets interrupted very easily.

All I gotta say is this quest sucks for frost mages. Use your mana shield, fire ward and I found arcane spells hit better then fire spells.

Solo'd as a druid. You CANNOT pull more than one if you don't have a pet or if you're under lvl 30. Period. If you do, lose agro and pull just one again, they're spread out so they're easy to pull.

This quest sucks as a frost mage. As in, every talent point you have is basically useless, and the traditional frost mage methods of snare and kite are impossible as this is immune to frost. However, after several tries, I came up with a strategy that works well to solo this, even as a 0/0/x pure frost mage (for all the good those talents do you here, you might as well be 0/0/0...).

This is of course just my opinion, but this worked very well for me and I completed the quest with little difficulty after adopting these methods:

1. First, you must use Dampen Magic. It reduces all damage dealt by the elementals.

2. Second, before you pull, cast Fire Ward on yourself. This will absorb the damage, and Dampen Magic's effect will cause this to last longer. If you want to be extra safe, you can cast this 15 seconds before the pull, so the 30 second cooldown will be up at about the time your ward collapses.

3. When you fight the elemental, make sure you're facing a direction that's clear. The reason being, you can and should Blink out of its stun, but as you're stunned, you can't change direction. Make sure you're facing a good direction to Blink into. Don't burn Blink before it stuns.

4. Always pull with Fireball (or pyroblast if you have it). After this, you're using Arcane Missiles or Arcane Explosion only -- it's fire resist is high enough that you don't want to cast fire spells, at the same time, being as you can cast fireball/pyroblast before it aggros you, it just acts as a little bonus opening damage. Always open at max range to get as much DPS in before it reaches you.

5. Don't try to use Mana Shield, it really doesn't work very well; these things hit hard enough that you'll deplete your mana pool very rapidly.

Important notice, the ""Scalding Elemental""s are fire based, they are immune to cold damage, and all fire damage done is reduced by about 60% against these targets, mages are going to have a REALLY tough time with these... they have about a 20% chance when they hit you to ""Scald"" you which is a three second stun... other then that bit of information, yes the plants are found all around the water.

As a shaman, don't forget that if you did your quests you now have Fire Resistant Totem.

Their moves are confirmed.
The Scalding Elementals, to me, are a little bit stronger than the Boiling Elementals They can use Scald which is a 3 second stun.

The Boiling Elementals have a 10 debuff called Steam Jet. It lowers your chance to hit by 30%.
Both mobs are slow but strong hitters and they crit a lot more than usual. But i think all in all they are pretty easy if you have burst damage. My 28 rogue never got below 50% even when i took on 2 at a time (evasion).

Now for the plants.
The plants are found mostly underwater but you can find an odd few around the edge of the water. Clear th mobs around the plant so you dont get unwanted pulls when trying to open. The elementals can aggro from pretty far away.
The plants underwater were hard for me to find at first. They are the same colour as the ground there on and usually close to a wall, not out in the open.

P.S.
For people who dont have first-aid and have to eat, ive found a kind of safe spot if you clear like 1 or 2 mobs. Co-ords are about 35,35. Between a small pillar and the cliff there is a part thats underwater but only by a little bit. You can rest or pull your mobs there for easier fighting and no pulls.
Good luck,
Kruelty

Done pretty easily as a lvl 27 rogue. They use scald pretty often to stun you for about 3 seconds which got very annoying. Not every plant has an elemental near it so that was a plus since I could just stealth around, gather the agave and stealth again. Only found one plant outside the water by the smaller pool so you'll be spending most of your time in the water. Also helpful to have a healing potion on you in case you pull two since they hit hard. &amp; yes Crippling poison was a big help.

Agave is the name of a botanical genus. Plants belonging to such have a history of spectacular, though infrequent blooms.

Incendia is french for ""burned,"" which makes sense as these plants are growing in the ""Boiling Pool""

Easily done as a lvl 27 shadow priest, just bubble and dps. Only thing for me was the amount of plants there actually are, not to many :/

Can't believe this quest is still so broken. Mobs are easy to kill as any class, but finding 10 of the damn herbs will take you 20 mins. This is one quest I won't be missing when Cataclysm drops.

I did this quest on my rouge it was NOT easy, i found the flowers around the lake in the water and behind rocks.
I hope you guys don't fail as much as i did.

I think that they must have nerfed this quest recently. The elementals are doing around 50 per hit on an equal leveled player and they don't stun any more.

really easy now :)

Edit - the Boiling Elementals still stun.
