Very good rewards for a fairly simple quest. All you have to do is kill Baron and he ALWAYS drops Strange Water Globe.
If you are trying to complete every quest, do not complete the Amongst the Ruins quest at level 20. Wait until level 21 to loot the Fathom Core. If you are level 20 when Baron Aquanis spawns, he will not drop the Strange Water Globe for you that begins the Baron Aquanis quest.
Regardless of how you missed the Baron Aquanis quest the first time (whether you were level 20, as described above, or you forgot to loot it), you will need to join a new party and have someone else complete Amongst the Ruins in order to get Baron Aquanis to spawn. You can then loot the Strange Water Globe as normal.

Description
The defeated water elemental has left behind a strange water globe. You surmise that the object somehow fed the beast energy. Inside the globe, a putrid-looking form of water sloshes about. The globe itself seems impervious to any sort of physical force. If anyone can make any sense of this item, it would be Je'neu Sancrea of the Earthen Ring.
Getting there
Inside the dungeon: Blackfathom Deeps
Once dedicated to the night elves' goddess Elune, Blackfathom Deeps was thought to have been destroyed during the Sundering, lost beneath the ocean. Millennia later, members of the Twilight's Hammer cult were drawn to the temple by whispers and foul dreams.
Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Ghamoo-Ra, Domina, Subjugator Kor'ul, Thruk, Guardian of the Deep, Executioner Gore, Twilight Lord Bathiel, Aku'mai.
