I found the drop rate from the Seers to be utterly terrible. Stacking at 10 killed before one dropped...and then a further 15 kills before I got another. I dread to think how long it would take to get the 3rd.
Knives was easy to get, just focused on killing the warriors and have a drop every 2 kills.
Okay so the drop rates aren't as bad as the last time I tried it, got it done in 5 minutes going back and trying again, whereas I spent 20 minutes the first time with only one knife dropping. You DO have to kill Seers, and they are still irritating, but only three idols, which means you (hopefully) shouldn't have to kill too many of them.

Description
My observations and writings about the Blacksilt murlocs are quite illuminating, {name}, but they are just the beginning. I plan to return to Ironforge with items produced by the Blacksilts' rudimentary crafting skills. The problem is that the Blacksilt carry these items with them at all times, and I can't have their blood on my conscience. If you're willing to help me gather the idols carried by Blacksilt seers and crude knives of the Blacksilt warriors and shorestrikers, I won't ask how you came by them.
