What to do

StorylineVashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse, step 74 of 149

Description

Marvelous creation if I do say so myself. Ready for deployment. Simply spray the clam divers with a bit of the chemical and they shall soon be accompanied by a protective aquatic companion. You can even spray yourself to similar effect if you so desire. Speaking of desire, I would highly recommend that you moderate deployment of the chemical attractor to minimal applications. Large doses could result in undesirable effects... Undesirable for you anyway. Likely very desirable for the fish. Away!

  • Art of AttractionShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    I have an idea. A brilliant idea! Those clown-looking fish have developed a symbiotic defensive relationship with the anemones. Having dismissed anemone disguise plausibilities, I've uncovered the chemical attractor that lures the fish.

  • Clamming UpShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    Here to help with the clam diving? Get to it then. There are clams about everywhere just waiting to be dived.
