Next quest Winterfin commerce

Comment by 16634

Just jump to the water west of king and dive to the bottom. There is classic water elemental. Kill him and use the shell on his corpse.

Comment by ScoobyDew79

You need not have killed him yourself. As long as he's dead, just target him and use the conch.

Comment by 245247

I found him at about 42, 17, all the way at the bottom on the ocean floor.

Comment by killerch0

Scalder is the name of the elemental you have to kill

Comment by 113739

Be sure to do this as quickly as possible. The 20-minute water breathing buff really comes in handy for the Winterfin Commerce quest linked above, and it should not take more than 2-3 minutes to get this done.

Comment by 248708

this is also a horde quest!

Comment by Vlad

Quick guide:

1. Go to Scalder (water elemental)
2. Kill it...
3. Use on the corpse.

Tips: He is usually dead (considering people are still leveling towards 80) so use /tar Scalder to target him.
If you do try to figure out where he is. Try using the item even if you are not close (or see) him, it has a
long range -around 30 yards. :)

You are done, fetch the next quest.

Comment by Mefirst

Just so you know, King Mrgl-Mrgl is NOT required to get this quest.

Comment by 238959

Is this bugged for hunters?

When i did the cleft q where I had to swim to the bottom, my pet didn't follow me. It disappeared.

Now, when I went to the bottom to kill Scalder, my pet followed but wouldn't attack. It just sat there while i was almost killed. I feigned death and the npc went away. I tried twice and the same thing happened.

Did Blizzard do something that messes up pets at depth?

Comment by Ambusher

Be sure to pick up Winterfin Clams for next quest while you do this. Saves you some time.

Comment by JungleJunkie

I had a bad experience with this guy. Now I'm not sure what was going on, but after getting him to a certain percent he would immediately began evading, followed by a reset back to the spot I hit him at to start, only for him to UN-evade and head straight for me at full health again.

So, after about 15 frustrating minutes, I realized that when he does his frost/blast wave thing that pushes you back, if you get knocked back too far, he resets. Not sure if this is a bug, but I found that if I pointed my back at a rock wall and he uses that wave, I didn't get the knockback as severely and was able to kill him without him resetting.

Hopefully you all won't have that annoying an experience.

Comment by Iroared

You don't have to be the one to kill him. When I came there he was dead, I used the conch and got credit.

Comment by 264315

You do have to swim down a bit to locate Scalder~As you swim down look for purple near bottom and he pats around this area. I located at 42,17.

Comment by 331888

Entangling roots doesn't work on scalder (the roots come up but it can still move around)

Comment by 400797

Interesting pronoun statistics:
Original quest text - "she" or "her": 2.
Comments - "he" "him" or "his: 21; "it": 1, "she": 0;
I'm just sayin'.

Comment by 370664

easy to do it for druid to dive with http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=1066

Comment by 483930

I did this quest a long time ago on my hunter with absolutely no problem. Today I decided to go back and level my priest and every time I tried to hit Scalder with my spells it would say 'invalid target'. I couldn't even summon my shadowfiend on it.

Comment by 684394

those northsea pearls are useful in tailoring

Comment by Emmeno

So would this be a magic conch shell?

Comment by 733783

It's a water elemental at 43,16. Dive down to the see bed and you will find him. Kill him, loot him, and then target him and use the quest tool to finish the quest.

Comment by Takata

If he's already dead, you can click on the corpse and still use the Empty Conch on it. As long as the corpse is still there of course.

Comment by AchimPeters

a) Scalder is not exactly at the location indicated by the mini-map. He moves around. Check 42,15
b) He does not appear with a red name indicating he's a target. You have to look for him
c) Once you kill him, it's a bit tricky to select him as a target in order to use the shell. If possible, don't (auto-)loot.

How to do the quest (with helpful links):

Tip:

You can still use The King's Empty Conch, even if you're the one who didn't kill her! So if she's already dead, be quick and use the item before she respawns.
There are a couple of Winterfin Shorestriker and Glimmer Bay Orca in the waters, so beware of them unless you don't want a fight.
If you lose your Water Breathing spell, cast by King Mrgl-Mrgl, just go back and talk to him again, and he'll cast a new one for you.

Comment by WoWGnGP

Learning to Communicate

King Mrgl-Mrgl has given you a conch to use upon Scalder's remains. Return The King's Filled Conch to him at Winterfin Retreat.

	The King's Filled Conch (1)

Provided item:

	The King's Empty Conch (1)

Description

To help, you must learn how to speak the Winterfin dialect. We'll work with the forces of nature and magic to do that.

Take this empty conch shell. At the bottom of the watery trench below exists Scalder, an elemental of air and watery fury.

Once she is defeated, use the conch upon her remains to capture her magical steam. Return the full conch to me, and I'll imbue my knowledge of the Winterfin tongue into you.

Luckily, a friend taught me a water breathing spell, which I will cast upon you.
