The Vile Reef

Bring a Tablet Shard to Kin'weelay at the Grom'gol Base Camp.
Tablet Shard

Description

Long ago, a great shudder of the earth sunk an old troll city beneath the waters of the Savage Coast to the northwest. We call that place the Vile Reef, for murlocs now reside in the ruins of the city, attacking any who draw close.

There is an old tablet among those ruins that tells the ancient tale of Gri'lek, a hero of troll legends. The tale is sacred to the Darkspear tribe, and although the tablet is too large to move, I want a shard of it to enshrine in our new home in Orgrimmar.

Progress

I await the Tablet Shard, <name>.

Completion

This is good. When I return to Orgrimmar I will place this shard in a sacred place. It will remind us of the might and honor of Gri'lek.

Thank you, <name>. Your deeds mark a growing friendship with the Darkspear tribe.

Why this quest is elite, I have no idea. The tablet is outside the wall of the underwater city, you can snag the shard without getting any aggro.

This quest was really easy, found the tablet shard at 24,23.

You should do [36] An Unusual Patron which is just at the island off the coast while you're in this area.

Called Gri'lek the Wanderer. Exact coords are 24.8, 22.8. Outside the wall, no aggro involved.

As of patch 2.3 the surrounding mobs are no longer Elite, making this quest even easier.

My Level 31 hunter died while doing this quest. I took the opportunity before resing to go down there as a spirit and find the exact spot as you can breathe underwater when you're dead. I then collected my corpse, did one dive and collected the shard. The easiest quest I've done to date.

dont go afk here! I did and i thought i had fine distance to the ruins below so i tabbed out and when i tabbed in again, epic fail! Checked combat log and 3 murlocs (warrior oracle and warrior) had killed me. Probably a pat?

This is one of the easiest quests in STV, if you choose to take the table at the outer wall. there are no mobs to attack you.

From what I just experienced, an easy way to find where to dive for the shard is: You can clearly see a rock spike thing jutting out of the water off the coast west of Bal'lal Ruins, the area where the tablet is is right below it'll be sparkly like all those other quest items that need physically picked up. Completed as a 33 warrior easy mode. And as of 3.0.2 breath bars are much longer incase you actually DO pull something (but you probably won't)
