TheWoWDBThis bugged out on me with 3 melons left to loot. I could see the melons but couldn't loot them. So I had to drop the quest and re-take it. Logging out and in didn't fix it.

[item=161241]s look like basket with sliced fruits and can be found around the ruins.
[item=161240]s are located mostly inside buildings.Improvised Survival - www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xpOJgRqeiQ

Description
The entirety of our copter's hold was reserved for bombs. There's actually still a lot of bombs left inside. Unfortunately, that meant that we weren't able to pack sufficient water and rations for our survival. Desert natives hoard supplies efficiently. I'm certain the Zandalari trolls up ahead wouldn't miss a few lost supplies.

Before this quest

- A Message to the Zandalari
I know we're here to hunt the Horde, but this is an opportunity. Exiles or not, these are Zandalari trolls, and the Zandalari have all but put in their lot with the Horde. Let's show them what we do to friends of the Horde.

Did you see? Did you see them? The floofy alpacas?! I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A... I mean, ahh, ahem! I would like to acquire an alpaca. To study. For scientific reasons. Nothing to do with floofiness at all. Here, this should help you wrangle one back here.
