    IMPORTANT: While you do the Quest A Growing Mystery dont just kill the Mutated Lashlings for your Quest, kill also the Toxic Lurker and you will recieve after a few kills the Night Elf Ring. This gives you the Quest Strange Discovery for your Achievement. If you already turned in your Quest A Growing Mystery the Lurkers cant drop the Quest any more!

This gives you the Quest Pirates? I Hate Those Guys for your Achievement. If you already turned in your Quest Time for Heroics the Oils cant drop the Quest any more! If you do this in a Group only 1 Member can loot this Hat and has to share it to the others!

For this quest, you need to find one of these items: [item=168223], [item=168234], [item=168235], [item=168236]. The most common I found was the [item=168223], there are multiple lying on the ground (or in the oil) around 78, 60.

If you struggle with this quest, it might be because you were looting from your mount using [item=152813]. If you were and can't loot anything from the objects, you need to abandon the quest and pick it up again.

EDIT: Added three more items that give credit towards the quest, thanks to chaostorm for pointing it out!
