I can't seem to get this quest. Thottbot indicates that level 20 is needed to get it, but that doesn't really make much sense. I'm level 17. Can anyone else confirm that it requires level 20?

You find a murloc camp at loc 40,44.

Comment by 45970

This Quest is perfect for the Dreanei, because they often get to this region @ lvl 20. So you can combine this with (https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=127) the Selling Fish Quest. Best Place to kill the murlocs at lvl 20 is at 40,45 (Northern Part of lake everstil)

Will any merloc fins do? I have a ton of these from darkshore....

Comment by 59265

yes they will do

Comment by 91777

I found a group of about 10-15 at the coords 41,46 there are enough there to get the 8 Murloc Fins. While on this quest grab the quest called "Selling Fish" because the Murloc's there will drop the Spoted Sunfish you need for that quest.

Comment by Thottbot

Yes, the Dwarven Fishing Rod.

Comment by Thottbot

I got it from Dockmaster Baren in Lakeshire

Comment by Thottbot

Yeah, me 2 from that guy, and i didnt do any pre-q's i think.And the man is standing near the inn in lakeshire.U almost cant miss him.

Comment by Thottbot

Location of Murlocs is 39,45.

There are some on the island itself though you may have to dive under the water to get the rest that you need.

Had to swim around a few to get the 8/8 that I needed.

THERE ARE ALWAYS MURLOCS UNDER THE WATER YOU HAVE TO DIVE DOWN TO GET THEM SIMILAR TO GETTING THE SPOTTED SUNFISH QUEST AND THE LOST TOOLS QUEST WHICH I DID AT lEVEL 18 MAGE.

Comment by Thottbot

That's halarious. I wasn't really watching when I finished the quest. I just went right to my back pack and started to wonder why I didn't have the fishing pole...

It took me a few but I got it... LOL.

Comment by Thottbot

I actually found this much easier on the southern bank, around 49,71.

The drop rate was better and it was easier to see what I was doing/take them on one at a time.

Got a fair few sunfish too :)

Comment by Thottbot

Murloc Fins are NOT quest items so you can log on your main, grind those annoying *!@#$es in 3 seconds and mail all the fins to your alt.

Comment by Thottbot

they are not at 49,71 for the fins ok
tryed 10 of them and no fins there

Comment by Thottbot

Goddamit, I hate those murlocs.

Comment by Thottbot

I killed few of them right near lakeshire, but there was no drop. So went to the murlocs camp on the other side of the lake (\mntloc 49,71) and finished q in 5 min.

Comment by Thottbot

you can do it in lvl 6 to btw(murloc fins drop by all murlocs)

Comment by Thottbot

First you have to be 20 to obtain this quest.

But he also gives a lvl 16 quest, https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/quest=127/selling-fish, while killing the same mobs for the lvl 16 quest, they will also drop the murloc fin's needed for the lvl 20 quest ( murloc poachers ).

So save 8 of them untill you reach 20, turn them in and have some easy xp.

Comment by Thottbot

NO you cant get them in lvl 6! cause the lovest lvl murloch that drop them is lvl 17! good luck killing some1 11 lvl's higher than you ;D

Comment by Thottbot

I have abandoned the quest 3 times now with all the fins and he still wont continue when i talk to him to complete the quest. Does it have anything to do with me being a night-elf hunter? And I am lvl 23 so whats up with that?

Comment by Thottbot

Man i hate those murlocs they send a glitch to my game and they im screwed!

Comment by Thottbot

Those bastard Murlocs!

Comment by Thottbot

...for the murloc god will have its revenge.

Imagine, if you will, a deep underwater raid instance, in the great depths of the ocean, lit only by the manifestation of the fury of the murlocs' rage.

As you swim down into the cold depths with your 39 compatriots, perhaps riding a feral druid, you see a faint red glow. Is it liquid hot magma spilling out into the ocean depths? The burning hatred of some locked-away demon? Nay, it is a crevice, a crevice of great power and evil, a chasm of fear, and you are going to venture inside against all mortal reason, where you will surely find your doom.

As you swim up on the other side of that depraved and forgotten portal, you can sense that you have reached its lair, but it does not yet make itself known. The stench is overwhelming, but you continue on. Only after fighting through wave after wave of amphibious creatures in the dim red light of its anger, you finally reach the final cavern, and from that dark place, the behemoth will emerge.

Its warcry, no mortal may withstand, and you will find yourself stricken with fear. It does not wait for you to attack it, no, this ancient creature has no patience for your main tank to get into position. Your healers do not need their drink break. Your rebuffs are meaningless to the muloc god. It waits for no man nor elf nor orc.

First you are feared, and as you run about, half insane from its terrible shout, it charges in. First, perhaps, it turns its attention to a mage. The mage's ice block is of no consequence, the mage is consumed. Next, it runs towards a moonkin, and though the moonkin has come out of its fear, the murloc god is immune to his moonfire spam. The druid, too, is consumed.

In the brief few seconds before the second maddening scream, the main tank gets in a mocking blow, or perhaps a taunt, and attempts to gather aggro. But the murloc god cares not for your pathetic aggro list. The murloc god only wants to feed. Surely, when it cries out again, it shall turn its attentions to a priest or paladin, a shaman or a warlock, and it shall feast on their blood, growing stronger with their life force.

Your attempt was folly. You cannot defeat the murloc god. Your five seconds between fears are not enough to make even a dent in the murloc god's defenses. The few successful strikes only make you drunk with insanity, your screen blurring, your miss chance growing. And as the murloc relishes in your offered banquet of flesh, devouring the majority of your raid, a hunter or two might feign death. But the murloc god cares not, for it only makes it easier to pick you up and toss you back into its obscene maw. The rogues who vanish may find themselves similarly destroyed, as the murloc god sees all.

Only when none of your numbers remain, and the murloc god has had its fill, will it retreat again into its dark place. Perhaps it rests on a throne carved from aquatic bones, covered in your blood, with dark magics woven into its seat. The lesser murlocs may then pay homage, prostrating before that black hole in that dark cursed wall. Perhaps a few scraps will be left of your band, and they too will feed. There may be cries of adulation and dancing in that dark dank cave, even as they tear themselves apart and sacrifice themselves before their diety, but none have witnessed it and lived.

The only sign of your audacity is the reddened water slowly dissipating from that deep underwater crevice. But no shark dares come to the feeding frenzy, for all of nature abhors that deep place.

Comment by Thottbot

"Dwarves aren't known for their subltlety."

Comment by Allakhazam

I see a lot of coordinate references. What maps are these references from?

Comment by Allakhazam

I am lvl 22 (lvled to 23 with that) and I was just pulling one by one with daggers (they are to the left of the Lakeshire bridge if you stading with your back to it). The drop rate is ok, but then I had dranau (sp?)warrior asking for help. We cleared the whole camp few times and after I got my 8 I started getting 2 in each kill. I just traded them to the other guy. We all go out ok. We died once when we pulled 5 of them, but 2 or even 3 ok for lvl 22.

Comment by Allakhazam

Strange that noone's mentioned it, but there's some prereq to this quest. Two characters I've levelled up this hasn't been available from the dockmaster at any level. I suspect the lower-level murloc quests in Elwynn might be required to pick this one up.

Comment by Krumior

For those that dont see the quest - you have to finish the quest "The Lost Tools" which you can pick up at Foreman Oslow at the bridge.
