/way #2215 54.52 25.33 Peculiar Fish
Make sure you're not on a mount when you are supposed to throw the fish into the water. When I did the quests, the extra action buttons for [spell=440905] and [spell=440980] didn't show until I dismounted.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Alluring Offer
It is done. Take this tidal charm, cloak your form in the darkness of the sea, and unmake the kobyss. Their strongest warriors gather and scheme against your kind upon that central island. With the lure, they will not see you for what you are. Use that advantage to become their end.
