The Kvaldir in the area seem to drop between 1 and 5 [item=122619].
If you complete this quest and then leave Helheim without doing the following quest (Stealth by Seaweed) you may encounter an unusual glitch. Every time I logged back in with my character anywhere in the Broken Isles there was a water splashing effect and I heard Ashildir speaking about how disgusting the seaweed is.
Not a big deal until I unlocked flying. If I happened to be flying when I logged out, the seaweed animation when I logged back in would dismount me. Fortunately I was not high off the ground when I first discovered this. At least the glitch inspired me to finally finish the rest of the Helheim quests.

What to do
Description
I'm not sure what yer doin' here, but ye have my thanks. If ye want to get any further, though, ye'll need to get past that foul dog, Guarm. I've tried meself a few times, and I think I have a plan. If we can get some of the seaweed these kvaldir wear, we might be able to trick the mutt. Guarm's mean, ye see, but not too smart. What do ye say? Think ye can take on a few kvaldir?
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Accessories of the Cursed
Wait! Before ye go rushin' off, we might want to be gettin more than just seaweed. Ye see, these vrykul also be carrying bones with them - worn all over like jewelry. If ye can get yer hands on some of the bones they got lyin around, it'll add to the disguise. So what ye waitin for?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stealth by Seaweed
There! The disguise be complete! Don't mind the smell, there. It's probably better that we smell like the kvaldir, as well. Though I have a feeling I'll be needin a priest to get this stench out once we're gone.
