Where the Crocolisks Roam

If you're ever questing in the Wetlands and have to do one of the numerous "kill small/medium/giantsized crocs" quests I have a trick. Walk out of Menethil Harbor and make an immediate right - directly into the drink.




All types of crocs swim in this watery inlet. The young ones are closest and the giant ones are furthest. No more dodging murlocs, invisible Fen Creepers or Hogger wannabes to find one or two croc mobs.

See...? Lots of dead croc-ery goodness:



For those with no special underwater breathing abilities, I recommend a nice Elixir of Water Breathing. Some of those giant crocs like to hide near the bottom.

Murkdeep

In Darkshore there is a "Wanted" quest called "WANTED: Murkdeep" in which you have to kill, cleverly enough, a murloc named Murkeep. I highlight this quest because it's just a little different than the rest. And because you may have missed the "wanted poster" that starts the quest. It's outside of the inn in Auberdine. Kind of blends in with the wall.




He's located quite a ways down the shoreline in a murloc encampment.


Now the interesting thing about this quest is that you could show up at the encampment and not find him there. If he's not, then you have to lure him out.

How? By killing every one of his murloc brothers in the village. (/ominous voice) All of them.
When more come rushing up from the waters.... Yup, kill them too.
Wait a bit... and more will emerge from the sea... kill! kill! kill! until...


When you finally lure out Murkdeep... well, you know what to do...

Bloodpetal Sprout

I am probably atypical, but I enjoy Gathering Quests. In Un'Goro crater there's a repeatable quest for the beast of burden Dadanga (Dadanga is Hungry!). I know the quest reward is weak, but I like it because it's always a mystery. You don't know what you'll get in his gift pack. So this is one of my favorite quests because of these features:

  • Gathering
  • Repeatable
  • Surprise Gift
That said, have you ever looked closely at that sprout? Take a gander:



Is it me or is that one unhappy sprout?
