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 :)

Tooga wanders to the south-west of the map, at the extreme opposite of where he wants to go.

Comment by 5666

Start: Reported and found at 31.74 and 66.25

Ends: (Torta) 66.25 just South of Steemwheedle Port

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 :)

Comment by 4463

the starting coords are right but i think u have to kill soem mobs in the area first do tooga can spawn.
Btw quest bugged to me in a moment tooga disapeared but it didnt said failed.

Comment by tweek

Step 1.) Accept Tooga quest, have him follow you around
Step 2.) Stealth around Tanaris and track down opposite faction
Step 3.) ???
Step 4.) Profit!

Comment by 28526

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.

Comment by fodigg

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.

Comment by 37106

If there's several people in the area, it's worth it picking it up before finishing the other things in the area.
Thought I'd stick around, and take it once I was done, but a nelf beat me to it, and I've been waiting for ~45 mins for the spawn.

Comment by auiotour

Tooga Can also be found at 29,60

Comment by 43758

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.

Comment by 49206

The most rediculous thing happened while I was doing this quest. Me and a random group was escorting Tooga to the port and we were literally 2 minutes away. But then some asshole NE hunter comes and kills us all so we all failed the quest. I think we go too close to Gadget so, whether you are Horde or Alliance, by all means stay away from Gadget so some asshole won't ruin everything for you.

Comment by Siedygan

This quest can actually be very easy. If you can just avoid the lvl 45 mobs this shoulnd't be aproblem at all. Just keep in mind that Tooga is very slow and will attack everything that attacks you or him. And Tooga is saying some pretty cute things on the way to Torta (66,25). When you get there you MUST see their conversation... I'm just thinking of how he ended at Thistleshrub Valley :S ...

Comment by 36346

OMG! This quest is insane! Tooga decided to FIGHT EVERYTHING and me being a 45 rogue, strugles to kill a 48 croc! So I die, he dies quest over! *Mad face*

Comment by chimera

Quest not available for my draenei warrior O_o

Comment by 70251

when I did this with my friend we completed it with about 12 minutes left... but when I got there she was ble to get ther reward whiel I wasnt. Did something bad happen. I didnt go to far ahead and he was following me not her. I wonder why I wasnt able to finish the quest. (I wasnt able to press continue) and I saw the dialogue

Comment by Alina

I Solo'd it with my lvl 45 balance Druid. I ran from a few mobs. As long as hes not hit he wont chase them. He has great armor, so i need not worry about healing him. but his hits are horrible.

Comment by 40551

I may be wrong, but it seems that if someone else is doing the quest, you will not be able to find Tooga until they are done. I and my friend just spent about 15 minutes searching for Tooga using the coordinates listed here with no success.

Comment by 70171

I think the biggest problem is ally, I was a 47 hunter and a 48 frost mage stopped and slaughtered me when I was at the turn in
Didnt get to complete it T_T

Comment by bEwaRe

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?

:)

Comment by 98128

this quest made me angry! He just kinda stopped following for no reason and i failed, twice!

Comment by FuzzyYak

Something went belly up here. I was busy fighting a basilisk and he just dissapeared... *shrug*

Comment by 71469

you cannot talk to him if u are doing Tanaris Field Sampling :D just wanna let u know

Comment by DaMouse404

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

-DaMouse

Comment by Hoshi

Now gives 8500xp.

Comment by 72808

confirmed.

Comment by Valdan

I added a screen shot. If your a high lvl with a mount you can do this quest very quickly in under 30 min. I did in 18min 45 sec, and also when you find the wife turtle, be sure that you click on her to complete quest, it's not your average escort where you escort and all is complete. I only had 4 interruptions and they were single mobs low lvl and easy to kill. These turtles have alot of armor and can walk pretty fast if your mounted which also prevents them from being attacked. But if your mounted and have carrot slow down and stop after about 4 seconds of running. They are fast but not that fast. Let em get close but not close enough to walk or stop walking. Dont worry when they complain about being thirsty.

Comment by 106490

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.

Comment by mjblink

8500xp at level 51. i suppose it was worth it. took about 17 minutes

Comment by 77852

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

Comment by MoonLite

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 Soothe Animal, to avoid more fights)
(hunters can use track beasts/humanoids to manouvre between mobs more easily)

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.

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...

Comment by 93394

I found tooga at 31,74

Comment by Darkfire

Not much point following Tooga into the ocean after the dialog at the end, He just walks in and despawns

Comment by shawarmakriger

Soooo sucks on a PvP server.

Comment by mrdummy

There is enough time. I even stop for some mining :) Tooga wait for you.
Even you can go in Gadzetgan for some jobs.

If you walk good enough, mobs don't attack Tooga, or if there is some aggro, the speed is high enough to let mobs behind.
Stop only when Toogo really stop, not earlier.

Comment by 112592

wrong he spawns at 32,74 not 31,71

Comment by 146119

Is there a time limit on this quest? Or a limit of how far Tooga can go? I'm about to get this quest and it sounds like he'll make a great pet while questing in Tanaris for a non-hunter.

Comment by mizz

Very easy as druid: went straight to Gadgetzan, using Shoote Animal all the time :) Then followed the path from Gadgetzan to the port. Not fought a single mob, did it in 9 mins xD (found Tooga at 30.74)

Comment by beefbrunstan

Dang it, I accepted the quest. Once I realized it was a timed quest, I abandoned it thinking I could pick it up later. Well, he disappeared when I abandoned it, presumably to respawned somewhere else... :(

Comment by 138837

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.

Comment by 168285

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...

Comment by 171682

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. :/

Comment by caewen

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

Comment by Necrodain

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 http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=3362 and http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=2605.

Comment by dadadumdums

was qutie easy for me, lvl51 shadow priest
i had 16min left when i turned q.
I just went to gatgedzan first and then to the main road to port

Comment by 134320

Like caewen said above you can do Rescue OOX-17/TN! at the same time (which starts from 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.

Comment by mrdummy

Played as a hunter here.
Whoa, i have for first time server error. I walks to Gadgetzan a bit fast but keeping eye at minimap radar (in beasts mode). I walk forward but look carefully at green dot behind me if she still walks forward and not attacked by another beasts. I stopped sometimes to not fall her too far back.

But when i'm near Gadgetzan i discovered she suddenly stopped without reason near the graveyard at east of GG. I thought the quest failed, but the questlog has no failed message. Tooga still speaks some words.

Then i decided walk further to coast. Tooga is already 400 yards behind me... 600 ... 800 ... 1000 yards ... it's now very small green dot on the screen but not gone from game!

Finally i'm at coast by Torta. Then suddenly - Tooga is nowhere in the game - the quest is finished! Torta starts talked without Tooga. :-o

Strange server error. But quest is done o_O. I have some screenshots if you want see it.

Comment by Dokee

66.48;25.61 near steemwheedle port

Comment by Danata

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.

Comment by 152100

By the way, for those who's WoW crashes as soon as they accept this quest, Disable the "Questhelper" addon.
Questhelper automatically crashes WoW for any quests that have a timer on them @_@

Comment by fraeg

I found Tooga at 30,72 near the zeppelin wreckage.

Comment by poitin

My advice (especially to hunters)...

Enjoy your new second pet! Sure, he hits like a 5 year old, but I accepted the quest, and went right into Un'Goro with him. Nothing like a hunter rolling with two pets. Besides, I've always hated escort quests, and running across an entire zone on a PvP server is never any fun.

I'm tempted to grab him again, and hearth to see if he follows.

Comment by 251762

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.

Comment by Shemmari

i wish you could just pick me up and carry me.

Comment by 206795

dont ''abandon'' this quest because you cant re-accept it!

Comment by 1upgamer

Counts for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Comment by 344900

There is a timer of 30 minutes on this quest, I suggest seeing what quests youre doing in order before returning to town when youre picking this up. It starts immediatley without warning. (I.e. Questhelper having a set route for you)

Comment by 154195

Counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Comment by Dramfiolz

Is this quest broken right now? I went to get it and he had no quest for me. Level 48. Is there a hidden prereq maybe? Done it many times on other toons.

Comment by 389166

Are you a druid? have aquatic form? then just go to the sea and Tooga will follow you faster! :D

Comment by 434279

This is a hard quest for a low level >.< I started it at 44, I didn't know what I was getting into, I was getting chased by a bunch of those giant grass guys (I don't remember their names), and I started the quest, and I suddenly had 5 level 48-50s on me, 3 chillin' attacking my pet, 1 on me and 1 on Tooga. My Pet killed 1 by himself, I killed 1 on my own, then me and my pet finished off a 3rd one, while the 4th one finished me off, but instead of rezzing myself, I was watching Tooga, take on a single giant, still with ~half HP, but the giant had not even a sliver of health gone (I fxing hate those totems they have), and the second one that aggro'd him helped finish him off faster, so yes, he IS a GREAT, weak, but great tank.

Comment by Myebika

This quest was adorable; poor Tooga hehe...

Comment by 438225

Quest is pretty easy to do, and rewards a really nice amount of xp. If you see him while wandering around like I did, I suggest picking up the quest. You will hate all the scorpions and and wolves by the time you get there though, but its still worth it.

Comment by 397318

Am I the only one that thinks escorting a talking, charismatic turtle husband to his talking, gold-digging turtle wife in the middle of a desert is strange? o_O

Talking turtle's? what the @#$% am i completing 0_0

Comment by 111427

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!

Comment by 641817

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

Comment by kymully

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.

Comment by 40507

Does **NOT** count for Loremaster of Kalimdor.
