Coilclutch Vine

Obtained from [object=373438] in Nar'shola Terrace, Shimmering Expanse at /way #205 34.7 75.0, located on the balcony of a tower on the second level of ruins (you should have a ceiling above you, but not be on the sea floor). The object is extremely hard to see as it looks similar to the background textures it's on. While visible to everyone, the object only has a tooltip and interaction for those holding [item=187662] and not already holding [item=187916].

Needs to be upvoted due to "interaction only for those holding Strange Goop" :)

If you're not familiar with Vashj'ir like me, be aware that if you swim down it will look like you're at the bottom and this will all be extremely confusing to you. There are more towers below what looks like the ground!

This right here is what saved me! I kept swimming above it not realizing what was below me. Thank you!

[b]Before going to the coordinates of the item, fly to 37.55 69.13 above water and then swim straight down, to see and get past the "false floor".[/b] Plug in the coordinates for the item and you're golden. I uploaded some screenshots to help understand what people are talking about, [url=https://imgur.com/a/qhdv5Zl]here![/url] Hope they help. Congrats on your shiny jelly mount! :D

@Lichiana Actually you can. I just got it when shapeshifted using the Legendary fishing pole.

Part of the items required to craft [item=187923] which Is required to make [npc=180978] Emerge The player Triggering [npc=180978] with [item=187923] is guaranteed a [item=187676] to drop on kill.

To obtain a [item=187923] you need to fish up [item=187662] from Hirukon's pool /way 52.6 75.0 Dropchance is quite abysmal, probably around 1/1500 according to my experience and the people I've talked to.

Once obtained to go [npc=182194] in Maldraxxus /way 57.6 92.0 She lets you know that she can make a lure if you bring 3 materials. [item=187915] [item=187922] [item=187916]

[item=187915] can be fished from a school inside Coilfang Resevoir in Zangarmarsh Outland /way 52.2 37.9

[item=187922] can be fished from a school in Nazjatar, when caught it slips away and you have to barbaricly catch it with your bare hands. /way 72.8 24.3

[item=187916] Is found in Shimmering Expanse, the subzone of the Cataclysm zone Vashj'ir. Found in the lower ruins on a balcony, and can be very hard to see. /way 34.7 75.0

Return to [npc=182194] with the materials and she'll make an [item=187923]

Apply the [item=187923] once at Hirukon in Zereth Mortis, and you'll be able to see an Aurelid Cluster. Fish in it to trigger Hirukon to Emerge.

*IMPORTANT* - The mount will not drop if it is not your first kill of the day. Killing Hirukon when someone else triggers him, will lockout looting the mount until next reset. So if you obtain the Lure, don't use it until the next day if you've already killed Hirukon that day.

Grats on your [item=187676]

Thank you for being the first comment to actually say WHAT ZONE the Shimmering Expanse is in.

For those of you looking above the temple at 34, 75, go to the bottom layer of temples. That's where I found it.

The hardest part was being on the correct level. You have to be on the second level up from the bottom level of the temple, then start zeroing in on the coordinates. I was on the second level of where I thought the balconies started which was more like the 4th level. Basically ignore the word balcony. Once I was on the right level at the right coordinates, the vine wasn't really that hard to see - it's a clump similar to a druid root effect. But yes, green on green makes it hard to spot if you aren't right by it. Changing the video settings doesn't help like it does in other cases because the vine isn't a quest object so it isn't highlighted at all. I did the nice-guy thing and sent a message out to the zone saying if anyone was there to get the vine, group with me. Got 6 takers.

If you go to the coordinates and descend straight down to the floor with a tower in front of you, that's not it. You are actually on the third floor. Swim to the edge of the floor towards the North East and look down. Go to the second floor of the palace and to the coordinates.

Also note that you do not have to have unlocked Vash'jir to loot the item; you can fly from the Stormwind Lighthouse straight towards Vash'jir without suffering fatigue.

It looks like a lettuce or cabbage

OMG! Crumpus tytyty

I uploaded two screenshots [url=https://imgur.com/a/qhdv5Zl]here[/url] depicting a closer view and one farther away to show the "false floor" people are mentioning, and a screenshot of proof that this item can be seen and obtained without having completed any Vash'jir quests (though it seems if you've completed [i]some[/i] quests, you may be phased away from the item until you complete Chapter 7 out of 10). Do yourself a favor and fly (above water) to coordinates 37.55 69.13, then swim STRAIGHT DOWN -- this will get you past the "false floor"; THEN plug in the coordinates of the item and go!

So hard to find! Thanks for this info!

This made it much more clear thank you

I have gone to the correct coordinates exactly and clicked and looked and it is not there. There is nothing to click on or gear. Is it possible there is a phasing problem with the Coilclutch vine? Is anyone else having this problem? Does it only spawn in that one place?

There is 100% a phasing issue with this item. I've been having the same issue and finally swam away from the Ruins of Vashj'ir and used the Farwater Conch to look at the spot. I could see the vine in the spot it's supposed to be in.

It is a phasing issue. My friend was able to get more than one Coilclutch vine and he sent me one. I have done the start zone. So why am I phased?

@Muggles7 I haven't done any quests in that area and i got the vine where it supposed to be. After reading another comment posted a day after this one, I see it has stated you need to finish at least 7/10 chapters of Visions of the Past.

[s]how do i get to vashj'ir if i never played that expansion on this character? the portal is not clickable and the npc nearby offers three quests. ugh. i'll start by trying the quest called the eye of the storm tomorrow i guess. i think thats the correct one [/s]

new update. apparently from another comment, alliance can fly straight to the spot from stormwind without picking up any breadcrumb quest. i didnt test it but feel free to try it. what i did is below and it worked.

update. what a clunky workaround but this worked. from [url=https://www.wowhead.com/quest=14481/into-the-abyss#comments:id=2623245]this comment[/url], just keep accepting quests from the heros call board, prioritizing cataclysm quest zones, and vashj'ir will show up eventually. alliance can go to the sw harbor after you get it. not sure about horde but theres a marker presumably.

[quote]If you are high level and cannot unlock the portal and cannot find the quest anywhere to start Vashj'r, go to the Hero's Call Board as indicated. If the Vashj'r quest is not one of the three listed, do not despair. Accept one of the other Cata quests, and then the Vashj'r quest should appear on the Call Board screen. If not, keep accepting other zone quests until the Vashj'r quest shows up. Accept it, then off you go![/quote]

I already did Vashj'r and I was phased out of getting it.

It bears mentioning.... if you enter the coordinates shown in these comments when you land in Vash, at Skybreaker Cove, the spot shown is INCORRECT. It shows the coords by L'Ghorek (directly left when you open map) Fly To: Tranquil Wash THEN enter coordinates and it will mark map accurately. Remember, you need to go to second level of the Ruins, and then when you reach coords item can be found on the Balcony of that roundish building.

I was phased. In order for me to get this I completed the Visions of the Past quest chain. If you need help locating the quests or a guide I suggest the BtWQuests addon.

I can confirm this. I couldnt see the vine, until i finished the Visions of the Past quest chain. It's the 7th chapter of the 10 total in Shimmering Expanse.

I have not done any Vash'jir quests on any character on this account, and I had no problem seeing and looting the [item=187916]. [url=https://imgur.com/a/qhdv5Zl]Proof.[/url] It seems maybe if you have already started the quests, you have to get to a certain point (Chapter 7) to phase back to the item. But the default seems to be for players to be phased to the item.

Be in the Shimmering EXPANSE and NOT the Shimmering Grotto when using the way point /way 34.7 75.0

I got very confused and hope this helps someone who like me stood around wondering where it is like John Travolta waiting in Pulp Fiction.

This post should be upvoted more!

I upvoted. The previous comments didn't help much with different coordinates. Your worked like a charm.

Thank you for posting meaningful coords and not garbage other comments posted.

2nd LEVEL! Cannot stress this enough! Don't spend 10 minutes on the ground level looking like me.

If you're alliance and on a character that hasn't done the Vashj'ir intro quests. You need to talk to the guy on the Stormwind docks that offers this quest. Make sure you have low level quest tracking turned on [quest=14482]

You do not need to complete any Vash'jir quests to see and loot this item. [url=https://imgur.com/a/qhdv5Zl]Proof.[/url] However, it seems that once you [i]have[/i] started the quests, you may need to get to a certain point (Chapter 7/10, according to one person) before you will be phased to the item.

I recommend people look at the screenshots attached to this entry. It helped me so much.

Thank you when I looked at the screen shots realized I was on wrong terrace

Make sure your in the right spot when you paste the coordinates. 45 min before I realized there was no zone ID

Once you get [item=187662] by either fishing it up (1/1200 chance) or buying it on the auction house, the hard part is DONE.

[item=187915], [item=187922] and [item=187916] [b][u]require NO RNG so don't worry, [/u][/b]just go to their locations and you will fish/loot them up quickly.

Once you summon Hirukon using the lure [item=187923] make to have graphic settings on high and [u][b]make sure it's your first time looting Hirukon for the day on that character to get the mount [item=187676] [/b][/u]

I located this at 34.76, 74.83 in Shimmering Expanse, Vashj'ir. I included two screenshots to help spot it. Hope this helps!

Came here to say it doesn't seem to be phased if you haven't done the main questline on your character. I just did the intro quest up to [quest=25929] so I didn't have to worry about drowning. This can be skipped if you're a druid or Forsaken with the racial [spell=5227]. Alternatively, you can buy [item=5996] off of the auction house or [item=8529] from [npc=43418] in Gadgetzan in Tanaris and keep using them until you get [spell=16591].

Also you must be at least lvl 60, tried to use my alt with opened location, but no joy. You can see the object and loot it while having the Goop in your pockets, no fish from previous steps are required.

REQUIRES LEVEL 60. Went in with an alt that has Vashj'ir unlocked, had the Goop with me and couldn't get it.

Yeah, the 34.70, 75 waypoint is great and all, but look for Nar'shola Terrace. The level is up, not down, and you can see the big villain shell fortress (Nespirah) if you turn your back to the tower. Putting a map screenshot in the group.

For me, seeing where the blue flower is was key.

See the screenshot from [b]akarisuicide[/b] for the long shot. Then see the screenshots from [b]Tibriel[/b] and [b]Inotal[/b] for more detail. You'll swim through the open curved colonade near the large blue sea plant. It will be on the right on a green shelf on the colonade floor. It's the only 3-D plant. Check the other screenshots for close-ups. Coords: 34.7, 74.8

Just a note it is not All the way to the bottom You have to be up in the terrace Nar’shola terrace Then go to coordinates and go up a shelf

Everyone kept talking about the right floor and I thought they meant the levels on the tower itself.. THE ACTUAL FLOOR/GROUND has multiple levels, u need to go to the edge and swim down, its right beside the blue coral where the coordinates are

THIS. What appears to be a plant floor at the bottom of the tower at these coordinates is way ABOVE the place you need to go. If you're having trouble, swim way out, then go UNDERNEATH the entire upper part of the structure, which is very large, then re-enter the coordinates, and adjust up from the bottom to find the item.

For the Horde players who have not unlocked Vash'jir yet, you can pick up the [quest=25924] to get there and then just do the first of the questline called [quest=25929]. This will grant you the ability to breathe underwater, allowing you to grab your [item=187916] easily!

After reading through comments here and even after seeing reference to the blue flower and searching a while this video helped me no end! Thanks to KstateJeremy over on youtube! x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi9o6X0cgDk

Going out of your way, you can do [quest=25924] (Horde) to get to Vashj'ir and get your Sea Legs buff, which grants water breathing and increases sea floor movement speed by 60% while in Vashj'ir. You can also get a swimming mount some quests in, though it only works in Vashj'ir. It goes faster than if you were using swimming mounts in the open world. I keep having to come back to do this quest becauses the event resets and I have to do them over. This zone has been problematic since inception.
