This item is for a Quest by the same name you pick up from Babs Fizzeltorque at the lighthouse east of the Theramore Docks.

It was a follow up quest (sorry forgot the name) from a guard named Seargent Amelyn in Theramore that sends you to see the Babs Fizzeltorque.

Young Murk Threshers are non-aggroing type beasts.

The oil is not a 100% drop. I'd say about 30%ish

Follow up quest is called Dastardly Denizens of the Deep

This is quite possibly one of the most "perfect" quests out there. (Quest for these by the same name: Thresher Oil) Why, you ask?

Well for one, the fact the oil has a low drop rate means you need to kill LOTS of mobs to get the quest items. (For me, it took 28 Young Murk Threshers to get all 4 oil.). Why is this great? Because everyone knows that the fastest way to get xp is to do a combination of questing and grinding -- preferably quests that require you to kill x number of items -- effectively combining the grind with a fat reward of xp at the end (3300 xp for me at level 33) after you've killed all of those said mobs needed. This quest's low drop rate isn't bad because you're gaining xp effectively while working towards a quest completion goal and final xp reward as well.

Next we have the fact that the Young Murk Threshers are plentiful within inches of the quest turn-in NPC. You'll want to hop in the water just at Babs' feet and swim down -- you can't miss them because they're everywhere! You may just want to be sure to bring an Underwater Breathing Potion or two with you since you should expect to spend time fairly deep underwater for awhile. Or just equip your handy dandy Hydrocane instead.

Then, as if it wasn't already sweet, the deal is even sweeter because the Young Murk Threshers are neutral/non-aggro. They're "yellow", so that means you can swim freely and not have to worry about watching your back while you're down there killing these babies left and right, because they won't aggro you and/or gang up on you when you least expect it. (Only exception to this part is if you're on a PvP realm and for some reason there are Horde swimming around. Also, be sure to watch for those elite sharks that swim up near the main Theramore docks, should you stray that far from the lighthouse island... you shouldn't need to.)

This quest is even better if you're a Skinner, too -- lots of mobs to kill means lots of mobs to skin, and these guys drop Heavy Leather with an occasional Thick Leather thrown in the mix. I don't know about you, but stacks of Heavy Leather or Thick Leather seem to be the most sought after on our realm, and coincidentally the kinds that there's the least of regularly stocked on the AH in bulk. So if you're a skinner, you're leveling your skinning and putting money in your pocket all at the same time. Whew!

And there you have it. Enjoy this quest -- I wish more were this efficient at leveling me! :)

Doing this quest second time, and droprate is lower then 5% for me. Killed 84 mobs before getting 4 oils.
First time it was about the same.

I've done this quests on 3 alts & every time, the drop rate seems to get worse & worse. Now I'm doing it on my druid. I've killed about 20 mobs & no oil yet.

Considering that you can't drink while under water, the time it would take a caster to do this quest (between killing the things & then going back to shore to drink & gain mana back) makes it very not worth it. Tethyr being the last part of the quest is the only thing that makes this quest.

Just did this on 3.0.8

Drop rate was about as wowhead lists it, 40% ish.

So this must have been buffed judging by the above comments.

The quest text states that this only drops from mobs below the dock. So don't get too far away from the dock you'll get yours in 6-7 kills, instead of 67!
