TheWoWDBThis quest has the most miserably low drop rate of any quest I've done in years. It's just horrendous. We've killed at least 30 of these things, and I have 4 tails and my leveling partner has one. One. Be warned. I think someone misplaced a digit in the drop rate.

Terrible respawn rate.
Terrible drop rate.This must be the worst quest ever.
As others has said, this quest is awful. But, the only saving grace is you can actually use your land mount if you're on the bottom of the ocean, and move at mounted speed. So even though the area is huge, and the respawn rate is slow, at least you can move around at a decent page to cover it all.

Description
In my living years, I was the greatest warrior of the swarm. Help me regain my strength, and I shall show you. I smell the salt sea nearby, and where you can find the sea, you will find briny clackers. Bring me their tails. I must feast upon their flesh.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Strange Appetite
Food. I must have food. In my time, the meat of the starfish brought not only strength, but also clarity of mind. This is what I must eat. Bring this to me from the nearby shallows. Wait much longer, and I will devour you instead.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Bloody Delight
A warrior is not ready for battle until he tastes the blood of his enemies. I am still too weak to hunt, so you must go in my stead. Only the blood from the fiercest predators will do. I can smell their presence in the waters outside this cave!
