The pools are around the outside of the island, on the surface of the water, and look like dark vortexes.

Comment by Jacob4560

Note that you wont get credit for summoning the mobs, you get it from killing them.

In spite of the buff from Waterspeaker Gorai that allows you to walk on water I dropped into the water during a fight. But by jumping I was able to get back up standing on the water which made the fight much easier.

Also for each cleansing Waterspeaker Gorai says a random line. I saw these three:
Waterspeaker Gorai says: I will begin the ritual. Prepare yourself!
Waterspeaker Gorai says: Hopefully this one will not be worse than the last...
Waterspeaker Gorai says: Now, friend. Prepare yourself to defeat whatever emerges!

Comment by Sharpi3loko

I found a bug that allowed me to click the nodes but the Waterspeaker wouldn't begin the ritual. Probably caused when I summoned a beast and took off. But the fix i found is letting yourself die and comming back to finish.

Comment by Newara

If you dont see a GEAR icon, its glitched. /reload ui its an easy fix without having to log off game. I tried clicking several times and its not till I reloaded that was able to see the gear icon to right click. Hope this helps anyone that faces the same issue.

Comment by Meggies

I somehow lost my waterspeaker. Reload did no good but relogging fixed it.

Comment by Ruhig

Each pool spawns one Boiling Rage, which are just another version of the small sha. Not difficult, they just spawn right in your face and start attacking before you can even target them.

Slow Down!

Try fishing these pools instead of just completing this quest. I cast out six times and got 3 Sealed Crate.

This is woefully incomplete data, however worth verifying as the pools disappear after you complete the quest.

Comment by Orcbum

Annoying quest. The mounted patrols will engage combat with you frequently, disrupting and sometimes overwhelm you considering the radius of their patrols.

Comment by bood3e

Easily one of the most ANNOYING quests this expansion.

Comment by Chust

Walking to Binan Village and then back to the pools got me my waterspeaker back.

Comment by Rakenaid

Note if you do not see a gear icon with the Pool of Corruption first make sure that Waterspeaker Gorai is with you, if that fails to work try /rl or logging out and back in.

It seems Blessing of the Inkgill is also glitched.

Comment by lemele

For anyone wondering (perhaps for when taking on the rare nearby), he heals you when you are under 50% health.

Comment by drpimento

I thought the quest was bugged because Gorai wouldn't react to the corrupted pools. i didn't see the gears as on the airship when first arriving in Pandaria. i was giving up when I accidentally saw the gear. Even then it took a bit of mousing around to find it again.
