Looks like this is unlocked by getting Aqua Team Murder Force (Alliance) / Aqua Team Murder Force (Horde)

Hi! Want to share combined knowledge on how to boost follower experience.
Stable version of the comment.

Giant Crab Leg - 50 reputation with Poen Gillbrack/Bladesman Inowari. Drop from Sandclaw Stoneshell and crabs west of Gate of the Queen (~41 16). +1 drop once from Arcane Pylon.
Fathom Ray Wing - 50 reputation with Neri Sharpfin/Hunter Akana. Drop from Soundless and rays in Coral Forest (~ 58 50).
Eel Filet - 50 reputation with Vim Brineheart/Farseer Ori. Drop from Chasm-Haunter and eels in The Hanging Reef (~ 50 72) + Deepcoil Tunnels (~61 18).
Reefwalker Bark - 20 reputation with each bodyguard (60 total). Drop from Kelpwillow/Anemonar/Urduu/Oronu and Murkbloom Reefwalker in The Hanging Reef (~50 72). +1 drop once from Arcane Pylon.
Unusually Wise Hermit Crab - 75 reputation with targeted bodyguard. Random proc from Mrrl with Azsh'ari Stormsurger Cape (make sure you get the WA for murlocs - its a blessing).
Ancient Reefwalker Bark - 100 reputation with each bodyguard (300 total). Drop from Kelpwillow/Anemonar/Urduu/Oronu. Not 100% drop, but very high. WEEKLY.
Naga Deployment Orders - 150 reputation with each bodyguard (450 total). This is a drop from Glimmering Chest (obtainable after using Scrying Stone) or Ominous Looking Tome sold by Mrrl.
As for my experience, I would recommend farming Orders from chests after the reset and then wait for Tome from Mrrl. Very rare drop from chests, not sure if I had them drop twice a week.

Tip for Murloco - buy one Hungry Herald's Tentacle Taco, sell to vendor, buy another one, craft an item from Mrrl and buyback for next time :)
Also, if Shirakess Armwraps following their description, they might be related to these items.

Follower levels doesn't give any boosts to their exp. e.g. no point to max one follower and then the others.
As they are leveling up by "experience", you don't get bonuses from Darkmoon Faire etc.

Recommendations:
0. Phasing. If Naga Deployment Orders and/or Unusually Wise Hermit Crab are sold today by Mrrl, you can buy them again tomorrow. Jump Nazjatar groups and find yesterday's phase. Sometimes it's really tough but don't give up. Also, you definitely can buy different items from different phases e.g. you buy "first" item without cloak and then you buy second with it - first item would be locked though.
1. Actual "farming" is not worth the time. Getting Ancient Reefwalker Bark weekly and buying items from Mrrl differs by ~one extra Naga Deployment Orders and 1-2 greenies only.
2. Rares have much higher chance to drop rep items, so aim for them and then try to farm small ones if needed. The bigger the mob - the bigger the chance.
3. Get WA for auto-buying items from Mrrl - can be found in the comment by Sipder2. It's a blessing (buggy though -> relog).
4. Don't waste too much time on Scrying Stone. Really not worth your time in life.

Got the Aqua Team Murder Force on August 16, 2019 that is about 7 weeks. But you can do better!

Best wishes for everyone!

If you are looking to get this essence as quickly as possible, make sure to always log in before reset on the day after Mrrl sells the Ominous Looking Tome with all the same materials that the Ominous Looking Tome required the day before so either buy double of everything or take note of what materials were required.

There is a short period of time between the daily quest reset and Mrrl's items changing giving you time to buy it a second time, you will not however be able to buy the item that is supposed to be up for that day, but since the Tome is the best thing Mrrl sells that is not a big issue.

You need to have Rank 3, Pearl of Perspicuous Intentions, before you are able to buy this.

Comment by edarien

Does anyone know if the Rank 4 cosmetic change affects the Minor Power triggering, or just the Major?

Comment by timreh

So, I finally got the achieve "Aqua Team Murder Force" three years after anyone else, and went to buy the Pearl of Luminous Design, and the vendor doesn't have it. Was it removed from the game? Yes, I already have Memory of Lucid Dreams rank 3.

Comment by SyonBroadcast

I just completed the Aqua Team Murder Force and can confirm that the pearl is no longer purchasable... Blizz just removed rank 4 because reasons. Yea, just like that :/
