1st Kill and drop :)

Kommentar von 40164

This can seriously take a while to get to drop. The 5% drop rate seems accurate. Clear the Warriors to get more Oracles to spawn and also clear the NE island as well.

I had to clear both islands 3-4 times before I got a drop.

This is not bind on pickup, correct? So you can basically buy it from the auction house? Wicked *laugh*

Kommentar von 36073

I have completed this quest once solo, working on it a second time. The drop rate is ridiculous - expect to have to clear both islands at least twice before you get the kelp, and even then you might still be out of luck. My first time took me almost 2 hours, and it looks like the second will too.

Kommentar von 70576

Well I just spent 2 hours grinding for this and no luck. I probably killed close to 100 oracles (and god knows how many other murlocs).

How it can occur to anyone at Blizzard that this sort of thing is fun is beyond me. There's a reason why I do quests and not just mindless grinds.

Kommentar von 78468

I've been killing Oracles for nearly 1.5h! That's next to idiotic.

Kommentar von 82105

The drop rate for this sucks. I must have killed 100 Mirefin Oracles before getting a single Enchanted Sea Kelp. 5% drop rate? >> more like 1%. ]:(

Kommentar von Atham

Surprised to see the drop rate has not been improved. Took me 54 minutes. Was however able to solo the 43 elite as a 46 Enhancement Shaman, so it's not that much of a challenge, but to be on the safe side you might want to bring someone to help you.

Kommentar von 64664

This part of the chain can take hours and hours of mindless grinding. The droprate is so low that you can even outlevel the quest before this actually drops. Probably the worst droprate quest ever in WoW. Getting someone to help you (who's also on this quest) helps a lot. As it can drop for both of you.

Kommentar von 114817

Took me about Oracle 25 kills to get mine. The drop rate for the level of this quest is too low.

Kommentar von 16251

got mine at 64th kill.really freakin bad drop rate

Kommentar von 65817

About 300 kills (70arms war + 43 enh sham). Chinese quest.

Kommentar von ronaldscott

I'd like to apologize to everyone that had to grind for this. I just got it off the third Oracle I slew.

Kommentar von 140374

I've been killing these things for an hour... come on, one of them has to have some kelp.

Kommentar von 161970

Ok, well I just killed about 4 and it dropped. Guess I was just lucky. Don't give up tho folks!
We all know some 5% drops can take just 1 kill sometimes, and others 40+...But thats what makes it the ratio that it is. So don't fret.

Did this along with: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1177 and they drop the Mirefin heads as well.

The altar is in the middle of the island (if you don't get that far in before it drops). Coords are (59,9)

Kommentar von Nechrono21

ha! u guys are lucky! i have been farming these fcukers for almost TWO weeks now...musta killed over 1000 of teh bastards by now.... its a terrible drop rate...horrible actually!

Kommentar von 138399

1 out of 76 = 1.3% for me....was about to go crazy

Kommentar von 246979

This is seriously annoying... you would think blizzard would change the drop rate to at least 30 or something! come on now... i was 41 and a half starting this quest and now im 4 bars in to 42...

Kommentar von 195614

Took me around 40 minutes to get this to drop off the Oracles. I got 3 green drops from farming.

Kommentar von Villordsutch

I feel bad for saying it but whilst Exploring for the achievement this dropped and I never noticed until I checked my bags, got a blue from the chest near the mob too.

Will be going back to do the quest (for points).

The time it dropped was around 10:20 GMT

Kommentar von 265795

Well, I must say, all of the grinding time warnings scared me, especially since the quest is gray for me, I took it when I was 38 or so, and now I'm 57. But I decided not to abandon it and give it a try. I killed off 9 Mirefin Oracles and Muckdwellers, and the Burgle Eye came, I slayed him and he dropped the Enchanted Sea Kelp. Yess.

So, maybe you'll be as lucky as me ;) Good luck with this one guys :)

Kommentar von 239300

pray to the wowhead god.....

ok resume grinding

Kommentar von wesdiaz

damnit tht suck cuz took me 3 hrs get it ha

Kommentar von trillz

cleared off all the oracles, dropped of Bugle first kill.

Kommentar von Farrar

After filling my bags with 8,726,111 shiny fish scales, it finally droped, however as had been staring at the monitor for several days without rest could no longer see the alter, had to /abandon the quest.

It should come with a health warning being perfectly honest about it....

And just make sure your in the lvl bracket to still get XP off the murlocs, or the whole thing becomes a waste of time.

Kommentar von Lomew

This is ridiculous... Supposed drop rate of 3 - 14% from the oracles, my eye! I've killed at least 70 oracles ( and countless muckdwellers, in the process), and still no drop! This goes down in my books as the quest that is the single biggest waste of time. I play this game for fun, not to keep doing the same damn thing for hours on end...

Kommentar von Lomew

Update: roughly 40 oracles later... I finally got the drop! Time to be done with this garbage.

Kommentar von Lomew

I repeat: BIGGEST waste of time... The quest reward is an off-hand item (with a mediocre bonus to Int) that can easily kill you, if you aren't judicious about using it. Unless you need the xp, and have no other use for 1-3 hours of game time, do yourself a favor, and avoid this quest.

Kommentar von Seeathis

Grinded for 45 minutes before I deleted the quest. World of Wait was designed perfectly. Why make a quest quick, enjoyable and fun when instead you can slow players down to a dead stop. It's to their advantage to make it take forever. This i'snt a quest, its a time sink. Drop it.

edit:
Didn't delete, but it took a full hour killing everything on the island before I got the drop. This IS a time sink, if you don't mind overly long grinds, you'll enjoy this quest.

Kommentar von Kahraman

Took like 20 mins to loot that. World of Waiting rox

Kommentar von zespri

Took me 2 hours. (as of patch 3.2)

Kommentar von 466329

Blizz must have changed it cause i killed about 6 mirefins before i got it(:

Kommentar von Hezar

cleared both islands twice before i got it. took about 15mins. i hate grinding for low drop qitems and gladly i was lucky with this one.

Kommentar von xarg

Cleared both islands 3-4 times to get this.

Kommentar von 497922

This is the stupidest item to find ever if you see it in a quest don't bother it's now orth it

Kommentar von 541011

After about 250 oracles, got it.. i feel like i should be a little more excited... hm..

Kommentar von Nicknich

Found mine in the second oracle I've killed. Guess I'm a lucky one.

Kommentar von 563316

I do not know if this will help anyone else - but i farmed for a REALLY long time for this thing. I mean a REALLY long time. I am a lvl 80 hunter and i went through 650 bullets AFTER i started counting. As you can guess Im pretty much one shot one kill at this level. Also i decided after awhile (mainly because i was getting bored) to level up a weapon skill - i took my axes skil from 320 to 399. Im thinking this CANNOT be right. Now I happened to have the "hungry" quest in my list and thought maybe the (Mireheads) was screwing up my loot table. So i went ahead and turned that in, stopped by the camp and sold off some trash I had picked up. Came back to the island and (BAM!) second Oracle i killed dropped the sea kelp. Coincidence? You decide.

AND...one of the oracles i killed during the fight with Dagun...uhm, dropped another sea kelp. lol

Kommentar von 551560

haha big ROFLs im reading comments and endouring questers waste 2 hours with out a drop and ppl on a whole diffrent quest gets it at random ;P

Kommentar von 566721

Its waste of time i killed 789 i got a addon that counts and it droped at the 788 its waste of time go buy it at AH!

Kommentar von 566721

if u wana get it faster take the hungry quest i killed around 800 oracles for it and when i took hungry quest i goted it after 5 mobs !

Kommentar von 507760

I got mine after about 25 of the Oracles, I got lucky!

Kommentar von 623853

Many a murloc have perished by my hand. Yet no kelp has dropped...AH is empty, guess I'll go grind some more.

Kommentar von 297533

It is high drop chance now, I remember farming it for few hours few months ago... :)

Kommentar von 633942

Dear lord...i drove those crazed lizard fish men to near extinction over a piece of kelp. There "Mrgggrgrgrllll" noises still haunt my dreams.

Kommentar von Baraddur

I can't found that altar... where is it?

Kommentar von 14454

When I stood on top of the altar, the coords I got was; 59,4 9,6.

Kommentar von 652192

The best way to do this is probably group with loads of people on the same quest and kill all the oracles on the 2 islands, who ever gets the seeweed, place it on the altar and wait, when the fishy man is dead, everyone can loot the hand or claw ^^
Good luck :P

Kommentar von elcius

The 2 islands have linked spawns and there is an enforced minimum number of murlocs can that be alive, by clearing out one island you can force the other island to be repopulated, just keep switching islands, took me about 3 clears of both.

Kommentar von 579589

quest items shouldn't have such RETARDED drop rates. wake up.

Kommentar von 524400

Ok, had to kill way to many oracles to get this kelp. Killed around 200 switching between the two islands that had them. I got every item that was listed under Mirefin Oracle as a drop on wowhead before I got this.

Kommentar von Marikhen

For those of you, like me, who just pulled this item while doing the "Hungry as an Ogre!" and "Jarl Needs a Blade" quests the item is now useless if you want more than just to fight an elite giant with 5k HP. If you follow Zevarix's links in the first comment you'll note that the related quests are no longer available.

Kommentar von r8dj

Wowhead database is inaccurate. This item just dropped off the rare murloc spawn, Burgle Eye.

Kommentar von Xmenjade

This item is back in game but very low drop rate since patch 6.0.3

Kommentar von whiptail

Just had this drop on the island around 57, 10. I was level 56.

Kommentar von NikNovi

Still drops in Dustwallow Marsh. But I have not idea what is it used for...

Kommentar von Scalard

Wowhead is quite wrong about u can't get this, I just doing a quest (hunting chest and rares in Dustwallow, then suddenly dropped from one of the oracles). Now, what can I do with this?

Update: Dagun (a spoof of Dagon H.P. Lovecraft monster) merges from the deep and u can kill it, though drops nothing... quite disappointing actually.
