Description

It could be days before we're ready to make our way to the surface, and to be honest, I'm already beginning to get hungry. I hate to be picky, but when it comes to seafood, I'm afraid there are very few things I can stomach. If you come across any lobster types, I would happily pay you what coin I have with me for their tails.

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.

  • Ain't Too Proud to BegKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    Now that you've brought me to safety, I'm afraid I must impose upon your kindness just a bit further. The captain of our ship, Samir, is still out there. Mack too. I'm sure they made it to the sea floor but beyond that I didn't see what became of them.

  • A Girl's Best FriendKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    Let's just get it out in the open. I'm no stranger to love, <name>. Over the years, if there's one thing I've learned, it's that love's tangible treasures last longer than the flames of passion.
