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!

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! :)
This quest in Val'sharah starts with [npc=116010] who is located inside the Temple of Elune at the top of the stairs.
When the game starts, one of 3 barrels flashes white and then the barrels move in a random fashion. You have to keep your eye on the original barrel and click on it when they stop moving. You flash yellow when you picked correctly, and red if you get it wrong.
If you complete the first stage successfully, 4 barrels appear in stage two. I groaned loudly on the inside because I suck at this type of game and I was expecting for it to drag on with me trying to follow 5, 6, then 10 barrels! However, despite failing the second stage with 4 barrels a number of times, the quest completed anyways after stage one for me.
I was awarded [item=141956] which gave me 9,300 Artifact Power.
