If you're doing the 106 tailoring quests without having quested in Stormheim before:

Start and finish the starting quest for Stormheim from your Scouting Map.
Get to the flight point at Forsaken Foothold by taking the elevator just south of where you spawn. Pick up Stormforged Grapple Launcher while you're there.
Follow the road to the southeast for a bit, then ride to the flight point at Stormtorn Foothills. An Enchanting Home is on the way if you're an enchanter.
Jump down to kill the Fleshripper Helsquids. They're pretty spread out and the drop rate isn't great, some form of water walking helps to speed things up.
Get to 57,47 (south-eastern part of the harbor subzone, there's a tower that also shows up on the map).
Look for Grapple Points (either on the mountain or in the tower) to get to the roof of the tower and up the cliff.
Get the flight point and kill Bonespeaker Runeaxe or other Vrykul at the marked area. Done.

Alternatively, you can follow the road from Forsaken Foothold to Cullen's Post, take the bridge between Cullen's Post and Valdisdall and do the quests the other way around.

Comment by varenne

This quest is a mess, the drop rate is extremly low.(or at least it was for me, but wowhead shows the drop rate of almost 100%)

You need to collect Helsquid Ink from Fleshripper Helsquid
Anyway the problem of this quest is that you have to kill underwater creatures and the are 40-50 yards away.
So bring some waterwalking if you can, because it will take 10-20 minutes otherwise.

Comment by alpanhell

Absolutely idiotic drop rate. Maybe 20%, not many squids yet tons of other mobs that you'll have to kill.

Plus they're squid! Every single one should have ink! This is the kind of quest Cataclysm was supposed to get rid of.

If you want a much better drop rate and you have this quest while questing in Helheim, the Bleakwater Helsquid have a MUCH higher drop rate (I'd say like 80%).

Comment by Iluuro

I believe there is a trick to this quest. As a cloth-user you tend to stand far away from the mobs which might add to the low droprate. I noticed a very big increase in droprate when I stood near the squids and allowed them to use their "Icy Ink" ability. I went from around 20% droprate to near 100%. It might be a coincidence, but I'd say it's worth a try.

Comment by Celano

A sea turtle mount makes this quest a little less painful.

Comment by JonGhost52

Probably the 7.1 patch : I had 100% drop rate, very quick & simple quest.

Comment by Boxofbeer

You have to loot Helsquid Ink from Helsquids in Stormheim. Fly to Valdisdall and run down (or use any things / skills to glide down there) to Tideskorn Harbor, there you'll found some helsquids under the water. Loot as many Inks as you need and get back to Dalaran then.
After the quest you'll learn how to craft:

Silkweave Slippers

Comment by leighloo

100% drop is correct. Look for them in the deep water section. If a priest, use levitate to walk on the water between kills.

Comment by ranzalduam

Found the octopus in the water. 100% drop rate

Comment by Wowzir

The Right Color

In 7.3.5, Fleshripper Helsquid were dropping Helsquid Ink at 100% for my level 110 Highmountain Tauren Enhancement Shaman.
10 squid, 10 ink

I was almost tempted to go into Helheim and check out the Bleakwater Helsquid, however, I was thinking that since I had my 10 inks for the
quest I might very easily have found myself with the kind of drop rates in comments from the past...

OBTW, my tool of choice was Draenic Water Breathing Elixir.

;)

Comment by tobex

Checking if I've completed the quest shows 'false', yet I cannot seem to get this quest from anywhere? The previous 'Taking Inspiration' quest shows true when checking if completed.

The Right Color

Obtain 10 Helsquid Ink.

	Helsquid Ink (10)

Description

Your assistance, <name>, if you have a moment.

I've been attempting to reproduce a pattern for footwear that I spotted a while back, but I'm having trouble getting the right color for my dye. Our black dye is too dark, our blue dye is too bright, and mixing the two doesn't look right.

The color I'm looking for is more of a squid-ink blue. If, in your travels, you come across any dyes of this color, would you do me the favor of bringing some to me?
