Area is packed with the Sea Sprays and Sea Elementals just south of the quest giver. Fairly easy to beat, just watch out for the elite giants in the area. Try to pick up the quest called Zapped Giants and do both at the same time as the mobs are all together.

Kommentar von GokuuSon

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.

Kommentar von craaazytaco

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%

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 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.

Kommentar von 25657

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.

Kommentar von 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 -.-

Kommentar von 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 https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=7003 as they're in the same area.

Also, leads to https://www.wowhead.com/classic/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

Kommentar von 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

Kommentar von 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

Kommentar von al7beeb77

confirmed
46,52

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

Kommentar von Thottbot

Go north of the quest giver to around 44,39 you will see the elementals start to appear there, follow the beach, these give the drop 10 times faster than the ones to the south and east. Got mine in 12 kills

Kommentar von Thottbot

I killed 15 and got 10.

From 42,37 to 49,54

Kommentar von Thottbot

maybe blizzard has changed the drop rate since all these posts, but i found that it was just the same as any other quest. you kill acouple- get one.

stop whining, it gets you xp anyways. and it certainly doesn't take days to do. i now have 9/10 and i've been doing it for about 15 minutes now. I recommend doing the 'Zapped Giants' quest while doing this one obviously, bc you'll get both done at once.

Just go up and down the coastline killing one by one and turn back around for respawns if you still need some.

easy fo sheezy!

Kommentar von Thottbot

There seems to be WoW players that dread,
To do a drop quest. They'd rather be dead.
Drop rate's one in three,
Should solo; that's the key.
They'd prefer complaining on Thott instead!

There are tons of Sea Sprays and Sea Elementals that have a one in three chance of dropping; which means by law of averages you will need to kill 30 of them to get your quest done. If you are grouped with 2 other people, you will have to kill 90 of them! Simple math. That's why Blizz put so many of them both north and south of the dock where the original quest giver is. So use your first aid, drink your free mana from the drops and start grinding! Vote for my limerick poem plz. :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

the best drop rate for this is 45.39

i have killed all over and by far this is the best

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Finished This Quest With My Level 47 Human Mage, Received:

Experience Gained: 4400
Reputation With Steamwheedle Cartel Increased By: 385

Info on Quest: Ok...this quest was a &*!@# for me. Not because I'm a mage...but because of my spec. I'm a frost mage...and they are Immune to Frost Damage. Just had to use some weak Fire spells for a while to get the job done.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest was worth 15 points of reputation gain at level 60 with all 4 parts of the Steamwheedle Cartel.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You guys are talking about the giants...Thats the other quest "Zapped Giants". I think you all posted on the wrong quest, but the mistake helped! =) so thank you!
This quest is for Elementals. Quest "Fuel for the Zapping". You need to get the elemental cores.

So far the drop rate sucks.

Thanks =)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The drop rate I found varied depending on how far you were from the dock. By the boat quest it was very high (45,65) but really low at dock. The giants are also far more plentiful farther down the coast and I only realized this after I had wasted about 30 mins getting very little by the dock.

Solo'ed as a lvl 49 Human Warrior. Good XP and did all 3 quests in one as noted above.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Horrible drop rates. I've killed twelve elementals and have only gotten one drop as of yet.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Just noticed that if you intiate combat by zapping the giants, they drop fairly junky, just silver and the dust. If you start the fight without zapping them (as a 'lock, I was sending my VW in first) then zapping them after he's pulled aggro, they always drop silver, mageweave, and a big-mouth clam (plus the dust). I've kept abandoning the quest because I believe there's a bug in the system. If you pull them first without the zapper, then they drop like they were still elite. Tons of greens so far! Either I'm really lucky (5 greens before I got the 15 dust) or there's something not right here...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Worth doing if you're waiting to giants to respawn. Also lots of elemental water dropped for me.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Killed the Sea Elements level 48 around 46.64 everyone droped the Water Element Core

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Solo'd as a 46 NE Druid. The drop rates weren't too bad for me, dropped about 1 for every 3 kills, and picked up a nice stack of elemental water too.

I just ran up and down looking for the 47-48 ones, I only died once when a 49 add came in at the last moment. I didn't worry too much about the giant elementals, I steered reasonably clear of them, but they didn't aggro me at all.

Fast, fun quest. Did it in about 25 minutes.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

As said before, very bad droprate, not fun at all!
Took me 90min to get all of them. Perhaps not worth the time, but good exp for you who don't mind.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Not good droprate for me - 20 kills and not single core dropped... seriously thinking about dropping this quest...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

At level 47, received 4400 xp and 150 rep to Steamwheedle Cartel

Kommentar von Allakhazam

And nothing else is dropping. Occasional core but others do not drop anything.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I HATE THE DROPRATE! I haven't gotten one and i've had this quest for a few levels now.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This might be an error, but I got the quest as Horde

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've killed the entire shoreline and I've gotten 5. This quest makes me want to break things. Still need 5 for one char and another 10 for my other.

Good luck grouping for this quest... pfft.

Kommentar von superseppo

The drop rate on the cores is so horrible that the game thinks you're not doing the quest and stops tracking your progress.

Kommentar von Kikazaru

This is one of the worst quests in the entirety of Vanilla. They hit very hard and the drop rate is abysmal.

You have been warned.

Kommentar von leens

This quest drop rate is horrendous. Not even sure if it's worth spending time doing it for the reward :/

Kommentar von Kanariya

At first I thought this wouldn't be so bad. The first four elementals I killed each dropped a core.

Then it took me another 38 Elementals to get the remaining 6.

Kommentar von TerribleAtGames

A friendly advice to all of you: Decline this quest and forget about it's existence.
If you dare to accept it, prepare to spend the rest of your lives grinding Water Elementals looking for Water Element Cores.

Kommentar von Sevrin02

I was at about 5/10 cores then for some reason my cores just straight up disappeared and forced me to start over despite not actually abandoning the quest. Mint, thanks Blizzard.

Kommentar von virtueavatar

If you're thinking of skipping this because of the droprate, don't - it's still worth doing, just get your mindset ready that it'll take longer than you think. It's not that painful. Also make sure you are at least a couple of levels ahead - level 49 or 50 (higher for warriors), so you can despatch them relatively quickly.

You should also be doing Zapped Giants at the same time, and if you can, the final part of Testing The Vessel.

Kommentar von shrikearghast

Nightmarish. One of the worst drop rates in vanilla.

Kommentar von Angryandidiot

This quest absolutely stinks if you're not a mana user.
47 warr, so far gained HALF A LEVEL only killing the Sea sprays (because the elementals are just too tough)! Yes, I need about 120k XP to ding, which means 60k XP and about 550 XP per mob (all rested XP) I have killed more than 100 of them - and I'm STILL only at 7/10 cores...!

Blizz, you can take those cores and shove them up where the sun doesn't shine! $%^& you and your lame low-drop quests! >:(

Kommentar von Xothal

One more thing...they are immune to frost spells. As a Frost Mage, that's pretty significant. Use your Flamestrike and Frost Ward because they use Frost themselves.

Kommentar von Vulkanian

This quest is already bad if you're at the appropriate level, worse if you're a melee, and undoable if you're a mage. Do NOT waste your time on this quest as a mage, they're completely immune to frost spells and are resistant to fire spells as an unreasonably large amount of my fireballs had half their damage resisted.

Kommentar von GibbleFenwick

Note that completing this quest along with Geschrumpfte Riesen unlocks this NPC as a vendor, which can be much more convenient than making the trip across to Feathermoon Isle.
Also, after completion, the quest becomes repeatable for XP and Steamwheedle Cartel rep.

Kommentar von Torrance

Really bad drop rate. It was a pain.
