Special Assignment: Rise of the Colossals

This did not seem obvious. I attacked quite a few very powerful mobs including Bleak Seatamers and chum seemed to drop from more that Seatamers. The mobs all have very high health in this area and are often traveling in groups so joining a group is much easier. Without a group, I found that single mobs with Bleak in their name were easily killable solo and dropped the Bleak Chum. When the Bleak Chum was in my bags, right clicking did nothing. I finally figured out that if I go to the the blue colossal swirlies in the water and dove down, I would get some wings or fins in the extra action area and when I clicked those wings the Colossal would be summoned. (This may have changed since War Within Beta, I heard you can just click the blue Colossal swirlies in the water now if you have chum in your bags.) You'll want other people helping you kill the Colossals because they are very deadly. I died once when I was alone even though I was ilvl 549.

1. The mobs that drop [item=224183] all have names that start with Bleak. Listed here: [item=224183]#dropped-by
Use a macro like:
/tar [nodead] bleak

2. Once you have [item=224183], there are gold dots on the minimap showing [object=449915]. Go click them to summon a Colossal mob and kill it.
You can additionally use a macro like:
/tar [nodead] Colossal
If you see someone else killing one, tag it--it gives you credit! The drop rate for chum is terrible, so you probably need to rely on tagging other questers' summons, too.

So if you want to do both, you could have a macro that does:


#showtooltip
/tar [nodead] colossal
/tar [nodead] bleak
/script SetRaidTarget("target", 8);

P. S. Don't forget you can group in LFG, too. Unite your [item=224183]s!
