spawns 2 initial level 40 water elementals, then spawned 2 or 3 more before he was finished. So be prepared to fight at least 5 before he runs out and you can follow him.

There is an unmentioned prerequisite to this quest, which may explain why the professor won't give it to you. Especially if you come into the area in your 40s, you may miss https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=663"">(Quest #663) from the ogre https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=2766"">(NPC #2766). It's the prerequisite for the other quests in the cove, but since it's just a level 35, Lolo may not have the ""!"".

As a 36 firemage
Had to pull the guys out & have the pirates fight them- even just the hits they got in while running down to the pirates almost killed me. Only the blackwater deckhands will aggro, so its a bit of a run while they're both trying to frost nova you.
The prof won't die fighting one of them for a few min, but he will if you let him fight both. Learned this after dying twice trying to get both of them at once(for some reason they really like fighting the prof!). Instead I used fire blast on one of them, blinked down to the blackwater raiders, and ran back up and did the same thing with the other one. Once I figured that out wasn't nearly so difficult.

Careful as they like to use frost nova, and seem to be resistant to fire and arcane (or it could just have been my lower level).

This quest has been massively nerfed recently. I just finished it as a 40 rogue. One set of elementals and the quest was complete.

PITA for my 41 frost mage since the WE's are immune to all frost spells. Did it by AoE'ing the two water elementals (Arcane Explosion, +18 Arcane Dmg) till dead, using Ice Barrier, Mana Shield, and Ice Block as necessary. By the time they were dead, Pizzle had finished and was running out, so no second wave.

I will like to tell all you rep farmers this quest does not give you any scryer rep whatsoever and that since I found it hard to navigate where i needed to be for this quest it is in Faladirs cove bottom left corner of Arathi

The -275 reputation with The Aldor & 250 reputation with The Scryers is incorrect on this entire chain. There is none.

This quest is terrible for 38 Combat Rogue (NE). With Blade Flurry I can kill easily the fisrt two elementals, but the others are insurmountable problem, because with my 1820hp the first two wound me around to 1000, and without Blade Flurry remaining elementals kill me. So for me is very difficult because they are very strong.

(sorry for my bad english, I'm not from english speaking country and I'm only learning english as my second language)

A few moments ago, I red that if I stay with the first wave of elementals outside of cave no other will apperar. I will try this.
So, i've done it. With eating, bandage, blade flurry, evasion, blind, but i've done it. So it can be done by 38 Combat Rogue. 2 elementals in 1 wave appeared. But there were some old from my first try that i failed. So I was fighting 4 and with abilites above survived.
