TheWoWDBThis quest will be a lot easier with this macro:
/run SetRaidTarget("mouseover", 8)
This will set a Skull on your mouseover target. When the barrel lits up, mouseover the barrel, click the button and click on the Skull marked barrel when you're done!

This world quest can be found above the Shal'aran cave. To get there easily, take the Ruins of Elune'eth portal. You're looking for it to phase you and for Archmage Kreimhold to show up along with some barrels.
Use the extra action button, labeled "Start a Round" to begin. You'll need to pay attention to the barrel that flashes yellow at the start and then select it once the barrels stop moving and flash white. I got the 1st one right, 2nd one wrong, 3rd one wrong, 4th right, 5th right, 6th wrong, 7th right, 8th wrong, 9th wrong, 10th right. It will start with 3 barrels and work it's way up to 7 if you keep getting it correct. So, it looks like you'll need to get a total of 5 rounds correct before you receive credit.
As you can see, I'm a failure at this mini-game, especially when there were 5 or more barrels out. :-p
As Ishidin stated in the comments, this WQ becomes a lot easier if you set your camera looking straight down over the barrels.
Hope this helps!
The most recent patch has somewhat "fixed" these so that you can't use a mouseover macro to place icons on the barrels anymore...
...that is, unless you do it when the barrels become clickable. This macro will allow you to sequentially place raid markers on mouseover targets:
/script if (charm == nil) or (charm < 1) then charm=9; end; charm=charm-1; SetRaidTarget("mouseover", charm);The idea of using raid markers to identify the correct barrel is the same, but the execution is a bit different. This time, go ahead and start the minigame and follow the barrels as best as you can. 3 is generally pretty easy so you shouldn't have much trouble. Once they're clickable, use this macro to mark each barrel before you select the right one. As the minigame progresses, you'll be able to mark additional barrels before clicking the correct one and thus, you can still easily identify which barrel is the correct one.
Happy barreling! :)
