As a warrior that is spec'd some protection and some arms, I have to say that this was one of the worst quests I've had to face yet, because these water elementals are an absolute horror to deal with. Well that, and I was level 46 picking on tough 48-49 elementals. It's an alright drop, but don't expect to be grabbing a Water Elemental Core off of every mob you kill. In fact, it took me about 3 hours to complete this quest, mainly because there are a lot of mobs pretty densely packed and it's very easy to pull some unwanted friends over to you. Main thing is, alway look around and make sure your surroundings are clear when you are taking on one of these. Oh, and if you're a frost mage, better use some fire spells, cause these bad boys are immune to frost completely.

They're also immune to poisons for you rogues doing this quest.

My advice? Get a Paladin with frost resist aura, all their damage is frost, and it takes out about 1/5 of their hits and you resist a good deal of their spells.

Also the reputation is higher, I got 385 with all Steamwheedle Cartel.

The drop rate is much lower than 50%

Комментарий от Shivacode

Drop rate is awful. I tear through these things like paper on my shaman and it's taken me about an hour to get only 6 cores, nonstop killing. Their attacks ignore armor by the way, which is also annoying. Frost resistance aura/totems are good.

Комментарий от Anvil

this quest is obnoxious. It's VERY hard to do sub level 48 as a warrior, and the drop rate is awful. I went through 2 stacks of food, eating every other elemental before i finished.

Комментарий от Agrithnaar

Its really not that bad as a lock. I did this at level 46, along with the quest where you shrink giants. Hell, I was even able to take down stupid ganking warriors just after killing an elemental or two. Just VW and you'll be fine.

This quest takes forever. This site says that Sea Elementals and Sprays drop the Water Elemental Core at about a 50% rate. This is not correct, not by a longshot. It took me an hour and a half to get ten Cores... Drop rate was, at the most, 12.5% (one in every eight). A very long, very drawn out quest that will have you running up and down the coast trying to get the Core.

Комментарий от 27922

Drop rate was not spectacular, but it seemed alright to me.. I remember doing this on my priest a while ago and taking ages. Maybe the drop rate has been upped?

Mages: Use your frost ward, even the ones that don't cast frostbolt use frost damage with their fists. And use fire.. this quest is pain for frost mages -.-

Комментарий от Kryz

I just finished this quest on a 47 pally with little to no trouble in less than an hour. Drop rate was about 50% on the Sea Sprays and about 75% on the Sea Elementals. Just pop on your frost resist aura, judge and seal light, and swing till they die. The sea sprays have a knock back, so keep a finger on your cleanse so they don't get free hits on ya.

Do it with http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7003 as they're in the same area.

Also, leads to http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7726 , which is the same thing again, so hopefully you won't hate it as much as these people. =)

I wasn't getting drops until i got to the cove around 46,52

Комментарий от 43147

Not too bad if you can heal, if they dont drop the elemental core then they tend to drop enchanted water, which you can use to healyourself, Often 4-5 at a time

Комментарий от 47214

I don't really know what earlier posters were talking about it only took me 20min to finished this. Guess I was lucky
btw they drop from both water elementals and sea spray north of quest giver by the giants

Комментарий от al7beeb77

confirmed
46,52

as a frost mage
Frost Ward + Arcane Missiles is your key to kill them

Комментарий от 69354

97600 experince gained during this quest (At "normal" rest state!).Grinding takes forever (46 Warrior)

Incredibly low drop rate...

Комментарий от Jerek

Really not worth it unless you're already coming here to grind for Globes of Water. Just do the giants quest and only bother with the elementals if you don't mind grinding them a little or if they attack you.

I've been killing them for 30 minutes and not a single drop off the water elementals. I've been thinking I didn't have the quest or was supposed to do something, but it is, in fact, a horrible quest. 3/4 of my kills in this time have been water elementals, 1/4 giants, and I'm 7/15 on giants with 0/10 on water elementals. Oh wait, while I was writing this a giant attacked me and I got another giant residue. -_-

Комментарий от Frigo

First, as a lvl 47 Frost Mage, doing both Zapped Giants and Fuel for Zapping together, this one started off very tough. All three creatures you're trying to kill (Sea Sprays, Sea Elementals and the Giants) are Frost resistant. Finally created a menu bar consisting of Arcane and Fire spells - things got MUCH easier.

Drop rate was not fantastic. I worked my way down the coast and back up again, killing everything I encountered. I got 15 zapped Giants just about the same time as I got my 10th core drop. Never had to venture into the Cove or go swimming in the water (did get my feet wet though).

As a time saver, you can work this quest with part 2 of The Missing Courier quest series ( starts with http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=4124 ) as the rowboat you're looking for is just under the water, and barely offshore at 45,64.

Комментарий от dogman1

As a 46 Lock, I didn't mind the quest at all. Yes the drop isn't the best, but there is worse. I was pulling in 290-320 exp per kill unrested. Worth it for me.

Комментарий от Cuphat

Easy as a level 50 full frost mage. Dampen Magic youself, toss up Ice Barrier. Pull with Fireball, spam down with Scorch. My Ice Barrier usually broke as the second mob died. Repeat.

Комментарий от Aevitas

This quest took me about 30 minutes, drop rate around 12,5% - 15%.
This time I was playing a level 46 Beat Mastery hunter with a cat pet, hardly had any down time to eat/drink, just mend pet, bandage your pet and yourself up, and you can grind non-stop.

Комментарий от Shalois

Soloed this quest easy at lvl 48 Rogue. good drop rate too.. went just north of the questgiver, and got 10 cores out of 14 elementals.

Комментарий от Mediocre

Not really hard at all, just takes a while with the droprate. MobInfo listed it at 16.7% for me. But as I said, grinding these and the giants wasn't at all difficult as a 46 full fire mage. Frost ward and I barely had to rest, except drinking every few pulls. Giants were incredibly easy, even the 49's. Pulled with a pyro, fireballed a couple times and i could get them to almost half health before they reached me if i got lucky. Then I'd mini them and kill easily. Good xp for what it was worth.

Комментарий от 23693

This quest is horrid if you are a frost mage. They are immune to frost damage. Use Frost Ward so you aren't dying horribly, use low mana cost Fire spells because you will inevitably have to sit down and drink/eat after 2 kills. Drop rate on this quest is about 1 in 10 kills. It took me (lvl 46 Frost Mage) almost 2 full hours to complete it. I did get 5 bubs of XP for just the kills, though. Not sure if that's quite worth the frustratingly low drop rate....I will not be doing the repeatable part either, screw that.

Комментарий от 85097

this is a repetable quest... not too hard at level 47

Комментарий от 88622

this q is flipping ridiculous................23 elementals no drop so far............. how do you people keep patience?!?!

Комментарий от 106624

Got 6300exp at level 48 as of patch 2.3. Sadly, the drop rate still sucks. :(

Комментарий от 108059

just did the quest now on my 47 BM hunter and it seemd that almost every single one dropped a core around 46,56.

Комментарий от 107808

As a level 48 druid I found this quest very easy. Killed about 30 to get all cores, while popping a heal after every 8-12 kills. Unrested I was getting fairly low exp, but it was quick and only took 15 minutes.

The giants nearby are also useful as they are easily grinded in 5 minutes.

Комментарий от 110753

at first my drop rate was about 1 in every 10.
then i went down to the south, (46,52) and i got an elemental core on every kill.
46/47 Warlock: easy.

Комментарий от bwvbb

i noticed that i got almost a 100% drop rate from the Sea elementals in the long cove. 48, 52. i never got a drop from the sea sprays. also dont bother with takeing refueling for zappers, it doesnt give any XP after completeion ony 21 silver.

Комментарий от 53576

very low drop rate around the dock but Iwas also doing the zapped giants at the same time so it didn't bother me as much. Did this as a levl 50 fire mage, piece of cake!

Комментарий от Anator

Theres 49 and 48 elite giants all the way down the coast line - so watch out for them.

Also there is noway the drop rate is 50%. I had to go up and down the coastline clearing everything twice before i got 10.

Комментарий от 113818

For the Protection Paladins out there:

I've tried to complete this quest at level 47, but as mentioned before on other comments, the drop rate is pretty low, like 20% I would say.

But the biggest problem is that these elementals only attack with frost, so you won't be absorbing any damage, your redoubt will have no use, either Holy Shield, so it's like fighting when you were a Lv10 Paladin, also your Frost Resistance Aura (Rank 2) will only absorb some of the attack, and it will not absorb completely, you'll still take 98-120 dmg with each attack. It takes a lot of time just to kill one mob, so I gave up on this one, I'd rather kill 284612 boars to level up instead.

Комментарий от 131667

52 kills resulted in:
10 cores (20% drop rate)
3 1/2 stacks of Enchanted Water (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=4791)
4 Elemental Water (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7070)
1 Globe of Water (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=7079)

Aside from the horrible drop rate, the quest is quite easy. My 45/46 Hunter had no problems, although my pet had difficulty holding the aggro of the 49 Sea Elementals. But since the mobs are spaced so far apart, it's not really an issue.

Комментарий от a124

From what i can tell, the Sea Elementals have a far better droprate then the Sea Sprays.

Комментарий от 167647

Never been so frustrated with a quest.

Even as a 49 Prot. Paladin this quest was a beating. The frost ones are still a pain in the ass even with the frost aura on. They kick you back about 30 feet and slow your movement by 50% so it takes forever to keep dealing damage.

Horrible quest for any up-close meleer.

Комментарий от 172877

the drop rate improved DRAMATICALLY when i east down to the canal west of the giants. Kill the elementals,i didnt get that many from the sea sprays

Комментарий от 192006

For balance druids ur best bet is to stick to the sea elementals,if u aggro them usin ur entageling roots add faerie fire then insect swarm + moonfire followed by starfire/wrath spam they go down quickly and never hit u + considerin the drop rate of enchanted water from them this is quite a good combo to use

Комментарий от 78377

Counts for Loremaster of Kalimdor achievement

Комментарий от 215071

Drop rate has been improved a LOT since I first did this quest, they now seem to drop around every 3-5 kills.
Still a fairly long grind but not unreasonable.
They drop some stuff that is usefull or at least worth a bit on AH, like globe of water, elemental water and even aquamarine, I also got a couple of stacks of enchanted water, which is pretty handy.
A good quest to do. Also good to do the giant quest from the same guy at the same time, although the giants seem to be more common underwater while the elementals stick more to the shoreline.

Комментарий от Mith

This quest *does not* reduce your Bloodsail rep as noted above.

Комментарий от 444474

Killed 8 - nothing.
The 9th droped and then anothe 5 - silent.
Killed another 9 - 100% drop... Guess i was lucky :)

Комментарий от 70784

Drop rate on this quest, STILL sux! I have done this quest on about 15 different characters and each time the drop rate is horrid. Might wanna skip this quest, or just keep grinding as it provides ok XP. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Комментарий от Oitsumeru

Confirmed. Counts towards loremaster of Kalimdor. The drop rate wasn't bad for me. Plus, there's lots of these elementals around that drops 'em.

Комментарий от 105245

I can't help but think, is this a play on words to be seen as 'Fuel for the Fapping'?

Комментарий от Sasserine

350 Rep for:
Gadgtzan
Everlook
Booty Bay
Ratchet
DOES COUNT For LMK.

Комментарий от Wolfenpilot687

"Add to that the benefit of there now being fewer elementals along the coast, and I might no longer cry myself to sleep at the prospect of having set up shop in perhaps the worst place imaginable!"

I feel guilty for laughing.

Комментарий от eXceSSum

Leads to Refuel for the Zapping which is a repeatable version of the quest but only requires 6 cores rather than the 10 that are needed for this one.

Also note that this quest counts towards Loremaster of Kalimdor however the repeatable one does not.

Комментарий от 562703

I want the schematic for Eng. but have all reps exalted with Bloodsail max honored. If I do this quest does it drop your bloodsail rep also?
