...Everybody had magic towels...
Don't waste your time in the water. Lots of the quest mobs ([npc=11562]) wander around the plain just south west of the quest giver.

What to do
Description
Thargad works practically nonstop chasing after ancient Titan relics. He stays so busy that if it weren't for me, he'd probably forget to eat! Speaking of eating, I'd like to prepare him something special - perhaps you could help me out? Lobstrock roam all over the coast to the west. I'd never last in a fight with them myself, but I could make a great meal if you were to bring me some of their tails!
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.
- Hunting Brendol
I'm too busy collectin' artifacts to busy myself with much else, but there is a bit of an issue here I wouldn't mind sortin' out. There's a forsaken apothecary who's been pokin' around these parts for a while now.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Impactful Discovery
<Thargad rummages through the satchel and pulls out a curious object.> Well now, this is odd... it's a hollow kodo horn with some sort of potion inside. <Thargad sniffs the potion.> WHEW! Definitely not any kind of healthy elixir. This mess is meant for one thing... killin'.
