use this macro to help you find them
/cleartarget
/tar squirming

set your "interact with target" keybinding to something you wont forget and press it

Well, I do not know how to do macros and I needed to do this quest. After slogging through the slime and seeing not a one, I just fished for them near the bubbles..and LO! And Behold! They fish up about 1 out of every 2. Did not take long..

Comment by Zumu

Helps if you put up your nameplates by hitting Ctrl + V (default setting).

That way you can just right click the nameplates. :)

Comment by Snarkby

Using macro above and setting raid marker on 'em makes it more fun.

Comment by restopresto

Essentially walking through the slime just plain doesn't work. Pick a spot and fish for them. Drops around 20% i am noticing for my level which is Master.

Comment by Ashkallon

If you're levelling up the best bet is to just Fish them up. You'll kill two birds with one stone then, since you get to level up fishing at the same time. It's pretty quick anyway. 2 minutes should do it.

Comment by whoopiecushion68

The slimes can be picked up while mounted. The slight increase in player height while mounted should be enough to avoid mucking around in the water. Quest is diminished to half a minute or so this way in combination with macros and V-targeting.

who'd want to eat a dead slime mold? Disgusting.

Oh a nethack reference! AWESOME!

Link for the youngin's!

Comment by Hinahina

Completely irritating to not be able to dive into the water as the second smallest Horde race (Blood Elf). I suspect only Goblins have the joy of sifting through the goo sans nameplates or targeting macros.

Comment by Straykitty

I used: the macro Ruuglawhar provided above, got into a group, mounted up, marked them with a skull (which I have keybound), rode over and picked them up. Less than a minute to complete this way.

Comment by Ascendanzy

Best way to do this is probably to activate Friendly Nameplates (Ctrl+V, unless unbound).

Tried finding them without, but to no avail. Activated the Friendly Nameplates and boom! Slimes everywhere!

Comment by dieb1tch

Unlike Orgrimmar cooking daily quest you can actually pick up the slime while mounted.

So the easiest/fastest way to do this quest is:
Mount up.
Press ctrl+v.
Right click on the nameplates when you are close enough to slimes.

You will probably collect them before you do a full round.

Comment by Martika

Seems like the least frequently chosen UC fishing quest, I have yet to get it in weeks of trying.

Comment by 862956

This macro makes it cake.

/cleartarget
/tar squirming
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target",8)

Comment by Engrelled

The Control-V worked well. I was surprised to have trouble with this quest since I had done it previously with my Tauren without a problem.

Comment by LaCrysta

Why is the water/slime OPAQUE?

Is there a setting that I need to change?

Comment by ShegoesPEWPEW

Running into the opacity issue on my low-level troll mage alt, over on the Mal'Ganis server. Funny thing is that a DK alt on the same server can run this quest without issue.

Never ran into this issue on my main. Ideas?

Comment by FixManTx

I did this quest for the first time today and didn't notice any opacity issues while swimming around gathering up the slimes. I also didn't notice any problems swimming around in the green goo, it was just like swimming around in the water in Org doing the cooking daily or the similar cooking daily in Stormwind.

One amusing thing I ran into was I'd try to click a slime to loot it and would accidentally click an Undercity Love Boat as it was floating by and would find myself sitting in the boat instead of looting the slime. If I get this daily again during the "Love is in the Air" event I might try fishing for the slimes instead.....:D

Comment by BullDozzer

As a troll (and probably tauren aswell) you'll have to either make macro or press shift-v, since the water is to shallow for a troll to swim in, and the blobs will then be hiding beneath the green surface, which is to solid to see through.

Comment by finnishboy

here is macro im using to see those slimes
/target squirming slime mold
/script SetRaidTargetIcon("target",8)

Comment by Sunbendyr

Not seeing this has been an issue for many, but my wife just did the UC fishing daily for 2 months before getting this quest. If you're going for the achievement and this is the last one you need and another UC fishing daily is available today, I'd suggest skipping the UC daily and going for progress in another major city for their achievement, then coming back tomorrow to see if this is the UC fishing daily.

Comment by burningglove

The weirdest thing about this quest is that I did it easily with my Forsaken, and could see under the slime, but couldn't swim along the top whilst breathing like you can with water. When I tried with my Belf I had to use the nameplate method outlined above. Perhaps some kind of height limit setting? It would be interesting to see how a Goblin would go. It is easier to switch to an overhead view when you get close to a slime so you get a better idea of how close you are.

Comment by homiebrah

Doing this as a BELF gave me some problems seeing under the slime. Using SHFT+V to see the nameplates helped.

Comment by Umiamz

The slimes now have the quest object sparkle which makes it easier for old duffers like me to see them :)

Comment by 135545

In the past you could go under the surface and see what was there but the Slime level was so low that I could no longer see under the surface, also there was no sparkle on my screen so I was hunting blind. I had to make a macro with the line "/tar Squirming Slime Mold" (do not include the quotes), and assign it to my action bar. Then when I found one of the little creatures I right clicked the icon and selected 'Target Marker Icon' and assigned the target the down pointing triangle. Then I got close to the marker and clicked below the point of the triangle till the pointer changed and right clicked it and caught it. It took about 5 minutes once I did this to get all 10.

Comment by hiramloram

Many times several slimes are grouped together. I have "interact with target" keybound and friendly name plates on. I swim through the name plate while spamming the "interact" key. The slime gets picked up as I go by, I don't need to stop. Then quickly target the next one and repeat.

Comment by homiebrah

Male troll, in regular size, can't get below the surface of the slime to see them. ~~My nameplate trick below doesn't seem to work either~~. Found it easier to just fish them up.

Edit: just seems I was going right behind someone who had cleared them out. Once they respawned, the nameplates were visible.

Comment by gokohono

With legion's arrive,ctrl+v doesn't exactly work.Just keybind "/tar squi" and you will be able to complete the quest.

Comment by Zarathel

Did this with no macro's, targeting or nameplate showing. I just simply jumped into the slime and while dismounted, I pointed the camera view down ( as if you're trying to look at your character from their feet) and I could see them all under the slime. I submitted a screen shot too, hope it helps.

Comment by VoidLord

Easiest way to do this if your character can't go beneath the water is to go into the Game menu > Interface > Camera > Uncheck Water Collision. Now you can position the camera below the water regardless of your character's size.

Comment by Jeffrion

All these suggestions are great:

Ctrl+V to show Name Plate
/target squirming to target the slime

One post said you can fish them up too, but I haven't tried that yet.

Also, if you're having trouble seeing them while swimming, change your camera angle so it's just beneath you (hold the right mouse button and move your mouse to change angle, for those who may be new to the game), then you can see what you're doing underwater/in the slime.

Comment by Siggy

If you're doing this after legion and have your underlight angler, as a fish you can angle the camera to see them.

Comment by Blandsaft

Just did this In the inner slime-ring.
Jump in to the slime and swim under the surface.
Smal slim wandering the bottom and you just need to klick them to get all done.

Comment by Lucilite

Trying this as a Dracthyr, I couldn't get the camera under the surface of the water unless I turned on visage form.

Time for Slime

Collect 10 Squirming Slime Molds. Deliver them to Armand Cromwell in Undercity.

	Squirming Slime Mold (10)

Description

It takes a special sort of fisherman to reap the bounty of Undercity's burbling slime troughs. Think you can handle gathering some of the squirming, sentient slime mold slithering about down there?

You can try to fish them up, but they're wily; you might be better off just diving into the ooze and grabbing them.

Remember, they're only useful alive and intact... who'd want to eat a dead slime mold?! Disgusting.
