Because reading wasn't my thing today...

Combine (5) Oily Mak'rana Chunk + (5) Hatecoil Scale Patch + (5) Salteye Oil to create the required completion item: (1) Piscine Pigment.

Hopefully this helps others that are too impatient to read the first line of quest text. *derp*

All the guides and lame "watch my dumb video" posts is it asking too much for someone to post something like

For Oily Mak'rana
"Best place to "farm" it since it doesn't have a high drop rate is going between 63.12 , 64.17 and 63.27 , 61.97. Both of them are Mak'rana Elder and by the time you kill one the other one spawns. In case it does not spawn there is plenty of Mak'rana Warrior around." By Jinxxie (1,129 – 3·20) 20 days ago (Patch 7.0.3)

For Salteye Oil Kill Salteye Murlocs (will fill in location later)
For Hatecoil Scale Patch Kill Hatecoil "Drop rate is pretty fast - got them all within 5 minutes up at the Crumbled Palace (46, 39)" Thank you By Shokra (727 – 4·10) 12 days ago (Patch 7.0.3)

Some of us had no idea wth to kill some of us (who me?) thought we had to fish. I mean it is fish oil right?

Anyway more so than the other crafter quests in this nightmare for crafter expansion this one is exceptionally fishy to me.

Description

You know, herbs aren't the only ways to obtain ink. Other materials can be inkified. Slightly related! I've been tinkering with the idea of creating my own type of Darkmoon card. Surely if those troggish carnival people can do it, then so can I. To do so, we'll need some special reagents. Go down to Azsuna and collect some oils for me, then mill them into a suitable ink.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Smashing HerbsLevel 10-45

    Now that the formalities are out of the way, let's have you do something actually useful. On the islands below, there's a plethora of new and exotic herbs that we've yet to experiment with. I'd like you to get some of those herbs and create some new pigments from them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Card SharkLevel 10-45

    We have the pigment, but we still require one more ingredient. Visitors at the Legerdemain Lounge will often play card games, and occasionally their cards are discarded. Go see if you can find some loose cards that players may have gotten rid of between matches.

The storyline at a glance

Legion Inscription has 42 steps, from Sign This to Demon Ink.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (18), Azsuna (15), Stormheim (4), Ironforge (2).
