TheWoWDBDon't worry if after you kill a couple and it doesn't let you loot- just leaves a skinnable corpse behind. For some reason the threshers don't have any greys that drops if you randomly kill them, so there will only be a lootable corpse if it contains the Thresher Oil.

Remember to kill the fish under the docks, not the ones around the docks. The drop rate is much higher for those.
Thanks for that, the first five I killed didn't drop anything and thought it was bugged or something.

Description
The old log in the lighthouse indicates that the lamp was fueled with oil from the threshers that live along the coast here. <Babs wrinkles her nose at the mention of such outdated technology.> I suppose it's a practical, if inelegant solution. The log says that the oil taken from the youngest murk threshers works the best, and those live right underneath the docks of Theramore. If you're up for it, would you help resupply the lighthouse with fuel?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- This Old Lighthouse
The old lighthouse out to the east hasn't worked for some time, but Babs Fizzletorque has gotten it into her head to get it working again. I don't know how she plans to do it by herself, but she claims that it'll make the movement of ships and goods into the docks smoother, so I can't really object.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dastardly Denizens of the Deep
You know, it's amazing what you can find in that old lighthouse. After I lit the lamp, I noticed this book in one of the old trunks up there. <Babs holds up the book and reads the title dramatically.> "Dastardly Denizens of the Deep!" Why, I think I might swoon if I ever saw one of these!
