Flotsam is a world boss of Legion expansion, he can be found in Highmountain, at 49.0 7.0 point, near Shipwreck Cove fly master. He's a big sack of loot, nothing special.

Flotsam is located in Highmountain.
Coordinates: 49.0, 7.0 - Highmountain, Shipwreck Cove,
TomTom: /way Highmountain 49.0, 7.0 Flotsam
Flight point: Shipwreck Cove - [npc=98066]
Achievement: Unleashed Monstrosities


  • if you start at the "Shipwreck Cove" flight point, go east, past the Murlocs and you come so directly to Flotsam who sleeps in the water between some rubble.
    Look at [spell=220340] and [spell=223317] in combat as a melee. From time to time he throws [spell=220295] on random players. At [spell=223373], a few [npc=112128] appear to fling the [spell=223355].

Objectives

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
