Threat from the Water

Threat from the Water is an Alliance-only quest for level 5-30 in Darkshore. It is step 2 of 55 in the Darkshore storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Darkshore at 50.7, 18.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Some of the survivors of this last Auberdine attack are still trying to make it up the coast to safety. We only caught word that they were coming within the last hour. I wish that we had more warning...

The coastline west of us is swarming with vile spray, vicious little water elementals. We need to clear them out if any of the survivors are to have a chance of making it to Lor'danel. Depart immediately and kill every elemental you see.

Having kind of a hard time with this quest. The vile sprays spawn from the lvl 10 elite Vile Terror. There are five sentinels that are fighting off the elite, when he dies he spawns 4 or 5 of the vile sprays. The sprays usually spawn right on top of you, but the sentinels are killing them off so quickly that I'm not able to kill more than one per spawn. The elite respawns pretty quickly, but it is time-consuming nonetheless.
As a side note, you don't have to fight the elite for the sprays to spawn, but the fight will go faster if you do. Look out that you don't grab aggro from the sentinels though, he hits pretty hard.
Edited because I can't type and play wow at the same time (not legibly anyway).

Regarding both comments above - there are more of the Vile Sprays further down the beach that you don't need to have spawn from the elite; but you should make sure that you aren't near any of the Lor'danel Sentinels when you attack them, otherwise they'll run in and "help" you. Since they're a much higher level they kill the sprays much faster and you don't get credit for the kill since you haven't done most of the damage.

  • The Last Wave of SurvivorsDarkshore · Level 5-30

    It's too late for Laird, he didn't make it in time. The last wave of night elves from Auberdine attempted to escape a couple of hours ago. They stayed in their old home, clinging to the hope that it could be salvaged, but it seems they were finally forced out.

  • Buzzbox 413Darkshore · Level 5-30

    Greetings! I'm helping Tharnariun here try to unravel what's been corrupting the wildlife in the area. I've set up some machines in the field that can analyze animal parts and possible corruption agents. If you can get me some good samples, we can get to the bottom of this affliction quickly.
