To get this recipe, you must do three short quests from [npc=98067] (at 42.7, 10.9) to empower Murky (who you will control for the final quest).

Slime Time
I'll Huff, I'll Puff...
Nature vs. Nurture

After turning in those three quests, you will be able to accept Murlocs: The Next Generation (also available from [npc=98067]). Click on [npc=89630] to take control of Murky. The murlocs in the quest area will become neutral with you when you are controlling Murky. There is a time limit to controlling Murky but there was no buff so I’m not sure how long that it is. I was “ejected” from the vehicle (i.e., Murky) while writing this guide. If this happens to you, simply go back to his egg by King Mrgl Mrgl and click it again.

You will have four abilities as Murky:

[spell=179021]
[spell=179023]
[spell=179038]
[spell=179062]

You are looking to kill [npc=98194] (which look like lobsters). Personally, I found that they were not very hard to kill. I used [spell=179023] while running up to one of them and then [spell=179021] (repeat as needed). As for loot, I only found Intact Shimmering Scale and Razor Tooth on the dead lobsters. No tail.

Hope this helps.

What to do

StorylineMurky Waters, step 5 of 6
RewardsRecipe: Barracuda Mrglgagh, 20g 22s, 6,150 XP

Description

The time has come! Murky and his followers need a place to hide out and train--away from the mature murlocs--so that they can prepare to take over in the future. There's a nice cave not too far away... only problem is that it's filled with makrura. This would be a good base for the tadpoles. Murky must go show them what for! Mindmeld with Murky in his egg and show him how it's done!

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.

  • Nature vs. NurtureHighmountain · Level 10-45

    I appreciate murloc-kind far too much to tell you to go kill all the adults. What we should be doing is setting up the next generation to be more peaceful; Murky is the best representative for this. Bring him to talk to the murloc tadpoles. He'll get them on our side.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Oh, the Clawdacity!Highmountain · Level 10-45

    The leader of the Cavemoss makrura, Clawdayshus, has been ordering raids into the Cavemoss village to steal the young for snacks. This isn't going to do at all. In order to prove their power, Murky and the tadpoles must destroy him as well! This is a job for murlocs.
