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! :)
If your like me and find things like this more frustrating and annoying than entertaining, or your in a rush and cant afford to get it wrong, or your just a slacker.
Open your chat window and type
/run SetRaidTarget("mouseover", 1)
Put your mouse over one of the barrels, then press enter, this will mark it with a star.
Repeat this with
/run SetRaidTarget("mouseover", 2)
and then again with
/run SetRaidTarget("mouseover", 3)
You will now have all 3 barrels marked, press your special action button and see which one (star, circle or diamond) flashes, you dont even need to watch it now as you know which one it will be.
On completeion it will add a 4th barrel, you guessed it
/run SetRaidTarget("mouseover", 4)
and repeat, and then again finally with
/run SetRaidTarget("mouseover", 5)
Win.
