Currently on 8.0, this and Naga of the Strand are difficult (if not near impossible) to complete, thanks to The Zoram Strand phasing oddly due to its proximity with southern Darkshore. Speaking with [npc=141489] doesn't currently fix this either, at the moment (2/8/18) as she doesn't appear to be phasing the zone correctly, which is having this ripple effect on the Zoram Strand. I was only able to find 1/10 statuettes within the Ashenvale zone, but the rest are too deep within the Zoram Strand, and it didn't seem to respawn either. Hopefully, this phasing issue (and Zidormi, by extension) will be fixed when the expansion launches fully on the 14th.

Description
I would charge you with a task, {class}. I was on my boat, skimming over the submerged ruins of Zoram, when naga attacked me, surging from the water and tearing at me with their claws! I fled and the rest, as they say, is history. I am an archaeologist of sorts, and I am attempting to recover artifacts of the lost city. Will you head out onto the Zoram Strand to the southwest and recover any ancient statuettes you come across? They are the reason I have braved the dangers of the Zoram Strand.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
