The Star of Xil'yeh comes from Grel'borg the Miser (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=2417), a named Ogre that patrols around the Alterac Mountains (where all the higher level elite 37-40 ogres are -- you can find him walking from the "town hall" type building to the "castle" building. Several quests involve killing Grel'borg, so don't be surprised to find other people also hunting him down at the same time.

The Hand of Dagun comes from Dagun the Ravenous (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=2937), a named water giant that is summoned on an island to the north of Theramore. You will know it's the right island when you see a small glowy orb on an altar. To summon Dagun, you need to kill the Mirefin Oracles for a quest item called "Enchanted Sea Kelp" -- it only drops from the oracles and may take a while (it's always taken me at least ten minutes of killing to get it on all of my alts). Once you have the Sea Kelp, you click on the altar and Dagun will rise up from the sea.

Finally, the Legacy Heart comes from Mogh the Undying (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=1060), a named troll in central Stranglethorn Vale (you can find him in some ruins directly south of the Mosh'Ogg Ogre Mound). I believe that he is the hardest to finish (unless in a group) since he's surrounded by many mobs that also respawn fairly quickly. Either bring a friend or two or be 44+, because it's pretty hellish clearing when you're underlevel and soloing.

What level do you have to be to solo this?

I used another tactic with my 46 Demonology warlock.

First is the same as what others said, kill all the close trolls.
After that, I let my VW attack his add, the little boy. I only attacked Mogh, curses and SB, then Shadow Ward and Drain Life until he's dead. The boy vanishes after Mogh dies. He only got healed once.

The two things with this quest that make it difficult is that the drop rate of the oracles is incredibly low. I spent 20 minutes killing them over and over before the kelp finally dropped.

The other thing is that Mogh is surrounded by mobs that i had to pick off one by one until it was down to Mogh, his minion and another headhunter that I couldn't get close enough to kill on his own. Once it was down to those three, I went into Cat form, pounced his little boy and killed him first. With him out of the way, you don't have to worry about Mogh getting healed mid-battle. After that i was able to kill the mob, heal, and then take down Mogh.

grel-Borg is easy, since there are open spots where you can take him w/o worrying about other ogres to jump in.

Comment by SharkBait

I've done the quest twice and its been about an hours worth of killing murlocks both times for the kelp to drop from the oracles.

Comment by mrdummy

L48 Ench Shaman with good dual L48 maces can do it. Kill healer near Mogh fast, kill 2nd add fast, then keep Earthshock boss, so you don't get hitted by his heavy shadow bolts. (it interrupt spell casting) And don't forgot your health, i just need 1 health potion drink and finish it. Put also some totems down for support.

Whoa :)

Beter continue with quest, because you receive soon interesting item "Skull of Impending Doom" in next quest.

Must be my lucky day - got Enchanted Sea Kelp from the 5th Mirefin Oracles

Comment by Ruiness

I just completed this quest as a level 47 Priest and obtained 7900 exp.

Comment by 226654

just to let ya know, this is not worth it. HORRIBLE drop rate for Enchanted Sea Kelp.

Comment by Nods

Just spent 45 minutes farming Oracles to get the kelp with my 46 enhance shammy, and Dagun wasn't bad at all. The trolls... well, I guess they'll all be gray when I get back to them to solo... overall, everyone's right, unless you're needing for rep, this one's definitely not worth it.

If you're going to do this quest you should also pick up The Perenolde Tiara in Stormwind Keep, since both require you to kill Grel'borg the Miser.

Comment by 356262

This is were I make myself an enemy...but I had the kelp drop on my 3rd Oracle ...Dagun himself wasn't that difficult using my Destruction and Warlock and Voidy at lv45.

Perhaps the drop rate has changed since the 3.1 patch?

Comment by 370140

Also note, there are Mirefins on the island EAST of the alter. The Hand of Dagun drops there as well.

Comment by 370225

As of 5/22/09 i only had to wait 10 minutes to find the kelp for the hand of Dagun. i did it with my level 45 warrior and just pulled all of them at once.

Comment by TimeTrap

If you're having trouble getting this drop, (like I am...3hours...) Be sure to kill the muckdwellers aswell as Oracles. This way you get more of a chance that Oracles will respawn. Also be sure to check the island to the East for more Oracles.

*Edit* Doing this quest as an 80, is no fun at all. You'll kill them far too fast for the respawn rate, making you sit there awaiting repsawn.

This quest counts towards Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms

WTB 'Cailler, Destroyer of Murlocs' title.

Anyone who does this quest deserves it.

Took me more than an hour to get the frikkin kelp dropped by the oracles ... stoopid.

Comment by 441199

To avoid mobs when targeting Mogh the Undying - stand on the ledge above and behind them. Target his minion first since he is the healer while there are only three of them around the fire. His minion will run up to fight you, move down a little on the ledge to meet him while Mogh and the troll will follow at a slight distance below and throw spells at you. Make sure you can handle being blasted by two spellcasters while you take down the minion and they burn their mana. Once he is dead the other two should be out of mana and will come up to the ledge to meet you. Target Mogh and he will come down easier.

Interesting note..

after completing the quest Gerrig will emote that he stows away the items and then say "I thank you, Name. My associates who will do great things with these...."

Nice grammar Blizz!

Comment by Riot

I have to hadnd it down to blizz, they have a great talent at ^&*!ing up the game experience. The game is stupidly easy where it should be difficult and incredibly hard where it's not the case. After killing over 50 murlocs and checking the reward that I will never probably use because, well it's quite useless considering you could just get a pair of Swift Boots that have 40% run speed and not a single downfall to them.

Not to say that in the time you spend on this single part of the quest you can do about 5 more in the same area I don't see any reason why i shouldn't abandon the quest right now. Which is exactly what I am doing.

Drop rate, blizzard's devilish way to keep you spending more time in the game for the single reason of paying another month. Hey, they're doing it for the players right?

Comment by mutedheretic

Without a doubt, the most ignorant bit of game programming I have ever witnessed. The drop rates in this quest are asinine. A complete waste of time.

Comment by Maggey

Actually i am trying to do my loremaster achievement and whenever i catch a chance to drop by to the quest zone for murlocs, i kill dozens of the oracles there and still no kelp. today is my third day i dropped by.

very very very low drop rate for this kelp. starting to think it is bugged..

edit: dropped from an oracle at the fourth day. not bugged confirmed. :D

Comment by 598636

I probably spent 20 minutes on trying to get the Enchanted Sea Kelp. If you travel between the 2 islands killing everything on them it goes pretty quick. I also noticed immediate respawns after I killed Muckdwellers and Oracles. I did this as a level 80 Shadow Priest. Just used Devouring Plague to 1 shot everything. :)

As someone mentioned earlier, take the Enchanted Sea Kelp to the island with the glowing orb, click the Enchanted Sea Kelp and watch him walk up from the shore line! :D

Comment by schwim

Thanks to the comment above, I managed to grab the kelp in about 10 minutes(maybe 20 oracles). After emptying the island with the altar, I came here, read the comments and decided to try the island east of the one I was on. The kelp dropped on the third oracle there.

I've done this quest probably 5 times on other toons and it never occurred to me that the oracles on other islands were fair game. I guess I'm not the sharpest crayon.

anyways, thanks to faint for the mental kick start!
