In case it's not immediately obvious, go out into the water west of Town-in-a-Box and kill the sharks (Ravenous Lurkers) there... just not The Hammer! Best bet is to go left (south) along the shoreline so that you avoid him.

Blizz, in case you're listening:
I have a really hard time with these water quests, most especially where sharks or large fish are involved. You see, I have this phobia about large bodies of water and large things IN the water. This is not a joke, it's a real phobia and, sadly, it gets triggered when these quests come up. I found out recently that I'm not the only one who has this. I met several people who, like me, avoided Vash'jir almost completely because of similar fears and problems.
I'm not suggesting that you do away with any of these. But could you please PLEASE offer an alternative version ON LAND that doesn't involve sharks or whales or whatever? It would give those of us who simply can't tolerate the water quests a way to move ahead without having to spend another year in therapy getting over our underwater adventures.
Thank you so much. And while you're at it, you might consider alternatives to the very high altitude quests; there are some of us who are acrophobic also (hint: that's why we're playing this game instead of running around climbing mountains and jumping out of airplanes and going deep sea diving.) Please take this seriously, it's a real problem for me. :-(

What to do

StorylineThe Lost Isles, step 27 of 72

Rewards5g 35s, 2,750 XP

Description

Fine, fine, perhaps the whole egg thing didn't quite pan out. Who's up for some shark meat? Only one little problem. Well, a big problem, actually. A really BIG problem: The Hammer! Of course, I have a brilliant idea. Swim out into the Dire Strait to the west and get us some shark parts. Give them to my assistant, Greely. I'm too important to get my hands dirty with the small details.

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.

Coordinates

Turn-inThe Lost Isles 45.3, 65.2/way #174 45.3 65.2
Objective area (centre of the marked area)The Lost Isles 39.8, 66.2/way #174 39.8 66.2
Objective areaThe Lost Isles 45.4, 65.2/way #174 45.4 65.2

Map coordinates of the pins above. An area the client draws as a shape is given by the centre of its points.

Getting there

From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:

Objective areaabout 250 yards west

Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

THIS! YES PLEASE! I just need to be able to continue questing without a major phobia being triggered. I have 2 common ones and 1 uncommon. I don't expect the uncommon one to be adjusted for - I'll figure it out (was in a forest fire as a kid); but those big things in the water and the creepy 8 legged things freak me out to a degree few people can understand, unless you have a phobia as well.
