Alchemist is at 35.1, 52.1 inside building, annoying quest. i'd suggest doing this first for timed event.
Brandon is 48.8, 78.9
Rupert is 58.1, 72.5
Grondel is 48.1, 63.9

Completing the daily on time (that is, before the timed buff wears off) gives you a follow up quest. It's an instant complete, which gave me 26450 experience, 12 gold 40 silver, a "Fat Lute" and a bag with 20 gold in it. Definitely worth it.

Kommentar von Tyriar

I took about 10 minutes, I failed a few times on alchemist so I restarted.

Here are exp/rewards at level 77.

Turning in the daily: 21150 experience, 6g20s
Turning in the 'Congradulations quest, which counted as a daily: 31750 experience, 18g 60s and "Patroller's Pack"
Patrolers Pack contained: Slimming Ankle Bracelet (Grey bracers) which sold for 15g 11s 25c

Total gained for completing within 20 minutes:
33g 71s 25c
31750 Experience

Currently there is an issue with this quest if you complete it only a few seconds before the On Patrol timer expires.

I completed it today with only a few seconds left and was offered the Congratulations! quest. When I clicked on the "Complete Quest" button nothing happened. Upon closing the window the blue "!" was still above the NPCs head but he no longer offered the quest. When I relogged the "!" was gone.

I petitioned a GM and he told me that there were "several other petitions citing the same problem."

The obvious short term solution is to finish the quest with more than a few seconds to spare but as other comments point out, the alchemist's task plays a large role in how much time you have left to complete the rest of this quest.

I have to say, it really blows that this takes up 5 of our daily slots (6 if you get the time reward). With all the new dailies available I have more than 25, and need rep with pretty much all of them. To blow 6 of those slots on a SINGLE quest (which all up only grants around 800 rep, depending on which ones you get) is pretty poor.

Kommentar von MikadoGG

Definitely helps to be 77 with a flying mount for this quest because the travel time between the different bases is considerable. I failed to finish this today on time with 5 seconds over the time limit. A flying mount would've made all the difference.

Edit: Just a quick tip for everyone to make the alchemist quest easier. Whenever I'm picking up an item for him I scan along the other shelves and see what the items on them look like and their names. After two-three days of doing this quest and getting myself familiar even with the items he doesn't ask for I confidently finish this quest every time first try with no problems.

Kommentar von 170735

doing this quest with a flying mount takes about 10 minits if you know what your doing in,
during that 10 minits you will make (at lvl 77) 75000 exp, and around 30g + a patrollers pack

pretty nice for a quest done in 10 minits (tho it takes up 6 dailys.... wich i gues for some is a lot) but hey since i think doing more than 7-10 dailies a day is more than enuff (more just gets boring) this is perfect for me ^_^

Kommentar von Avalonia

The alchemist part is by far the hardest part of the whole quest, so do that part first. If you fail the alchemist part you can abandon the whole quest and start it over. The alchemist quest will bug when you drop it and start it over (at least it did for me) and you will need to log out and log in. It is possible to get the timer this way even if you didn't get it in the first try.

Pick up the quest, go do the alchemist part, and if you have epic flying make sure you do the alchemist part in the first 10 minutes and allow yourself the other 10 for the rest of the quests.

It is also important to note that you can loot all of the items in flying form (if you are a druid) and you don't even have to land to do so, so its possible to do the entire line without ever getting in combat.

This quest is beyond annoying (the alchemy part anyways), but its basically nothing more than a game of memory, and as you do it more and more it should become easier.

Also, I don't know if it is a bug or not, but the top shelves on all of the shelves was unreachable when I tried to get items off of them (this item is to far away was the message I got), so you can basically rule out all of the tops shelves when you are looking for items.

The timer will reset if you die. This sucks very, very, very much. And it sucks even more on an PvP realm.

Kommentar von Zeldendorf

I can't seem to get it down on time...I go as fast as I can..I don't kill anything besides the moss monster things and I do the alchemy quest perfectly.....I think blizz needs to give us more time >_>

Kommentar von Venorize

BULL^&*! ALERT:

If you abandon the daily, you can NOT get it again, it fails for the day. So don't think if you fail the timer you get another shot at it, apparently blizzard likes to screw over people who make mistakes or get called away from their computers suddenly.

Kommentar von 153995

Does this daily give any rep?

Kommentar von 35026

Be aware that this daily requires you to complete 4 other daily quests, and the bonus for completing it on time is yet another daily. So make sure you have, and are willing to spend, 6 of your 25 dailies on this.

Kommentar von PieceOfSheet

at level 77

5300 xp + 1g 58s = Captain Brandon's Task
5300 xp + 1g 58s = Captain Rupert's Task
5300 xp + 1g 58s = Captain Grondel's Task
5300 xp + 1g 58s = Alchemist Finklestein's's Task
21150 xp + 6g 20s = Troll Patroll
31750 xp + 18g 60s + http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43556 = http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12604

total: 74100 xp + 31g 12s + http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43556

that is the total xp + gold at level 77

Kommentar von unreal25

So since everyone is having trouble with alchemy part -- use this and blow your competition away.

I quickly make a list of stuff thats left and right, just ignore the top shelf its unreachable. This is the way on my server (Darksorrow-EU). If its different on yours (easy to check) just copy-paste this in say notepad and update the table.

This is the list of items that I found. L or R in bracket tells you whether its left or right or both (LR) or unknown (?). * marks rare ingredients -- I figured out there's only 1 of these and on only 1 shelf. This is where they were in my case (not sure if/how do they "respawn"):

Ingridients on shelves:

(L ) *Abomination Guts
( R) Amberseed
( R) Ancient Ectoplasm
(L ) Blight Crystal
(L ) *Chilled Serpent Muccus
(L ) *Crushed Basilisk Crystals
( R) *Crystalized Hogsnot
(LR) Icecrown Bottled Water
(L ) *Frozen Spider Ichor
( R) *Ghoul Drool
(LR) Knotroot
(LR) Pickled Eagle Egg
(LR) Prismatic Mojo
(LR) Pulverized Gargoyle Teeth
( R) Putrid Pirate Perspiration
(LR) Raptor Claw
( R) Shrunken Dragon's Claw
(LR) Speckled Guano
(LR) Spikey Spider Eggs
( R) *Trollbane
( R) Wasp Wings
(L ) Withered Batwing

Stuff on the ground / off-shelf:

(LR) Muddy Mire Maggots
(LR) Hairy Herring Heads
(LR) Seasoned Slider Cider

If you fail, you can abandom all Troll Patrol daily quests in the log and go back to step 1. This restarts the "buff" timer.

Remeber if you're leveling, this is 5x5k xp from each individual patrol, 21k on turn in and 31k on congrats quest, thats ~ 70k xp. Plus tons of money and argent crusade rep.

EDIT: Yeah, right and left from the viewpoint of facing Alchemist. My initial guess is then that they are randomized at server reset or are on separate long timer. They were like this on my server for 2-3 days straight (no restarts). Also added 'trollbane' to the list -- didn't spawn to me; so I'll assume it's "rare". So maybe I should rather just mark them as either "both sides" or "one side".

EDIT2: Added Crystalized Hogsnot.

Kommentar von 16488

If you die during the event and loose the buff timer you don't get the extra gold/xp.

Damn you, gankers.

Oh and yes I mean you have maybe finished one or more parts of the dailies.

Kommentar von Kerrianne

So, over a few days of doing this series of dailies, I've noticed that the rewards seem somewhat… lacking. I've been tracking all the dailies I've done, and these were no exception. What I did find out after doing a little math may put you off doing this series in favor of others*.

(Please note that I'm writing this from the view of a lv80 character, and will not discuss XP rewards.)

The Troll Patrol set of dailies are started by talking to Commander Kunz, who tells you to head out and do the tasks assigned to you by 4 others. Three are Captains whose dailies vary between a set of three, and the final one, Alchemist Finklestein.

It should be noted that the gold reward at lv80 is a static (and small) 3g18s for EVERY Troll Patroll sub-quest.

The first stop on your patrol is Captain Brandon. He offers you one of three possible dailies, Troll Patrol: Can You Dig It?, Troll Patrol: High Standards, or Troll Patrol: Something for the Pain. Each of these rewards 75 rep with The Argent Crusade.

The second stop will be Captain Rupert, who offers Troll Patrol: Done to Death & Troll Patrol: Throwing Down for 75 rep each, or Troll Patrol: Intestinal Fortitude which rewards a whopping 250 rep.

Third, we have Captain Grondel, offering Troll Patrol: Couldn't Care Less & Troll Patrol: Creature Comforts at 75 rep apiece, and Troll Patrol: Whatdya Want, a Medal? offering a paltry 25 rep.

Fourth and finally, Alchemist Finklestein offers Troll Patrol: The Alchemist's Apprentice, which requires you to run around like an idiot in his lab for 75 rep.

So, if we were to average the rep reward for each stop, it would look like this:

Captain Brandon: 75
Captain Rupert: ~133
Captain Grondel: ~58
Alchemist Finklestein: 75

Added together, this is a mean average of 341 rep, or ~85 rep per daily over 4 dailies, as well as the gold reward total of 12g72s.

But, we haven't figured in the Troll Patrol rewards yet, and assuming you complete the entire patrol before you timer buff wears out, we also need to figure in Congratulations!.

(It shouldn't be a problem to complete these quests within 20 minutes, unless you're on a PvP server, in which case, good luck.)

Troll Patrol adds 250 rep and 12g69s, while Congratulations adds 350 rep and 19g05s.

This brings our total mean average rewards up to 941 rep and 44g46s, or an equated average of ~157 rep and 7g41s per daily over 6 dailies. Even as a best case scenario, you can only get a max of 1075 rep and the aforementioned gold*.

The reality of this series of dailies is, if you're looking to make gold, avoid them at all costs. There are far more lucrative dailies to be run out there. If you're looking to grind Argent Crusade rep, this and Slaves to Saronite are really your only options, unfortunately.

*I didn't include the contents of the Patroller's Pack you get as a reward from Congratulations!, since it's contents can vary in value from a few silver to several gold, or have a value completely based on your server's economy. I leave it up to those reading this to decide if it's worth going after.

Set your home point to Argent Stand... just missed timer by SECONDS because I neglected to do that.

Originally posted by SPLUNGE. Reposted without permission coz I'm ninja like that:

Heres a cheatsheet for Alchemist Finklesteins list. The first part is the initials of the item he wants. the second part is the location in the format (N/S)(Set of shelves going clockwise in the room)(Shelf its on from the bottom)

Example: N1-3 = North room, 1st set of shelves, 3rd shelf from bottom
Example: S3-2 = South room 3rd set of shelves, 2nd shelf from bottom.

There are 3 items that dont have a shelf location. They are large, easily found items described and are in both rooms.

This list heavily favors the south room, going around the room clockwise. If the listing shows the north room ,its doesnt exist in the south room.

Item name (Alphabetical by initials) - Location

A N1-2
AE N1-2
AG S4-2
BC S2-2
CH N1-2
CBC S2-1
CSM S1-2
FSI S3-2
GD N3-1
HHH - Big Boxes
IBW S1-3
K S1-2
MMM - Big bag of grain
PM S1-1
PEE S1-3
PGT S2-1
PPP S2-3
RC S1-3
SG S1-1
SDC N3-2
SSC - Big Barrel
SSE S1-1
T N4-2
WW N1-1
WBW S1-2

Using this list, i was able to complete Pa'Troll in 9 minutes.

Kommentar von 196807

I have written an addon for this daily called EasySerum (Curse link / WoWInterface link).

When Alchemist Finklestein whispers you the name of an item to find, such as Pickled Eagle Egg, the addon will print a message that says Pickled Eagle Egg: Right side, Case 1, Row 2, Item 2.

Simple and effective, no more alt-tabbing to wowhead for this quest!

Kommentar von Tabmoc

Completeing this quest in the 20 minute time alotted can be done on an epic ground mount with a few minutes to spare, if you don't stop for anything unnecesary.

After hitting 77 and be able to fly again made this quest a breeze. If you have an epic flyer, and you can do the Alchemist's quest in a few trys max, you'll still have plenty of time to spare. Feel free to mine some nodes and pick some herbs if you have your epic flyer while on this quest.

Kommentar von 189712

Easy Repgrinding:

1.) Accept the "Troll Patrol"
2.) Go accept this subquest (of course this only works when this one is due at the given day).
3.) Do this quest.
4.) Submit this for 250 rep, cancel "Troll Patrol"
5.) Repeat from 1.

It works, and at 25 dailies per day this is 6250 rep / day, and doable in a good hour if you're fast.

Sadly there are no other subquests but this which net 250 rep.

Kommentar von 65521

The XP rewards at level 77 make this a priority to complete. Counting the mob XP from the random kills you'll have, and you're looking at ~80K XP for 10-20 minutes of play. It's very difficult to beat that.

Kommentar von 186959

Is there a prerequsite for this quest? I am level 75 and Commander Kunz has no quest for me.

Kommentar von 64668

Note that you need to have the buff from Commander Kurz to be eligible for the extra quest. If you die but complete it within 20 minutes you do NOT get the extra daily quest.

Kommentar von 270028

You can do all 4 sub-quests for the rep reward, abandon this main quest, re-accept it, rinse and repeat. I was able to grind a decent amount of Argent rep. We'll see if Blizzard patches this.

Kommentar von fireforge124

Just did this quest today while farming Argent rep. The individual quests gave me NO reputation when they had given me rep just the day before. Also, the main quest gave me 350 argent rep instead of 250 as before. I believe this may be a change in response to the bug that will allow you to get rep just by abandoning the main quest and redoing the individual ones. This needs some confirmation to see if it's a universal change or a bug or something different.

Kommentar von fraeg

I received 350 rep today for the main quest and none for the sub-quests. A GM said that no rep is awarded for the sub-quests.

Kommentar von 251875

This quest is a WASTE OF TIME for Argent Rep. You are much better off doing dungeons with the Argent Tabard.

Kommentar von Xalick

This quest was changed in a recent patch.

The sub-quests no longer provide any reputation gains. It is therefore no longer possible to take advantage of the repeatability of the Intestinal Fortitude sub-quest. The primary quest (Troll Patrol) was bumped from +250 Reputation, to +350 Reputation. If you complete the quest within the allotted time for the extra reward (20 minutes), you will receive another +350 reputation.

Edit : I had previously stated that the quests also no longer rotate. After logging in again today to do this daily once again post patch. The subquests have miraculously changed and I stand corrected.

Kommentar von 89984

Just a question, can you accept this quest, accept all the other dailies, abandon the "Troll Patrol" quest, finish all the other sub-dailies without turning them in, re-accept Troll Patrol (now turn in the sub dailies) and be done with this?

I'm assuming this is possible as the sub dailies don't disappear if you abandon the main one, but if you turn them in without having Troll Patrol accepted, you won't get any credit.

Kommentar von dbodinem

Did it today for the first time in under 20 minutes.

~50,000 exp.

Regular Flying Mount.

1st Task: Raising Standards
2nd Task: Raising Morale(?)-The cowering soldiers
3rd Task: Drakkari Medallions

Alchemist's task 1st time.

Lucky, for sure. Made it w/ 30 sec. to spare.

Study the shelves as you grab material...Today it was all in the room on the right.

This is my 4th day on this daily....and recognizing the stuff for the alchemist was definitely helping w/ my time. Did his task in ~4 minutes.

Kommentar von 74836

Known Issue.
I normally have 10 mins or so to spare even though I have to regularly 'Ctrl-Alt-Del' in Zul'Drak. The only time I have problems is if I get the Mossy Rampagers one which is always the last of the four NPC's I visit, If there is more than one person doing this part then the respawn rate is terrible and competition is bad. I got to Kunz with 5 secs to spare, handed in and accepted 'Congratulations', thinking I was home and dry I stupidly announced to nearby players that I had had only 5 secs left, the 'Complete' however would not click and he is stood with a blue '!' above his head. Can't even do again as there is nothing to abandon. You need to complete the follow up too within the 20 mins. So it is Exalted tomorrow and not today.

In short I think they missed a letter 't' out of this guys name.

Kommentar von 111622

I did it in 20 minutes without a flyer, at level 75. Had 3 minutes left when I turned it in.

- Suggest Auto-Loot, I didn't but it helps
- Questhelper points you in the direction you need to go
- Hearth in the area, for faster transportation
- Memorize the Cauldron quest and location of items
- Avoid getting dazed off your mount
- Only fight the NPC's you need to
- Don't rest, bring potions or quick food

21150 xp, 350 rep twice (700 total), 6 gold and 20 silver.

After you turn this in, another daily will apear above his head, and your timer will still be on. Right click on him, an instantly completable quest will pop up called "Congradulations!" and you will receive 31750 xp, no rep, 18 gold and 60 silver. Along with a Patroller's Pack.

Edit: The bonus for getting this complete in 20 minutes is now 500 reputation.

Kommentar von Anzael

I've noticed that the subquests seem to come in very specific groups. For example, I always do the alchemist's quest first, then move on to Captain Grondel. Based on what quest he gives me, I'll know what the rest of the quests are going to be.

Group 1 is the "easy" quests. They can be done just by mounting up and flying around a bit. Most likely you won't have to kill anything, and they go very quickly.

Group 2 is the "medium" quests. Again, they're mostly the gathering-style quests. You might have to kill a few things.

Group 3 consists of the "hard" quests. (Hard being a relative term, when the quests are compared to the other two groups.) You will have to kill things to complete these quests, and because of that this group takes the longest to complete... Although it's still quite do-able within the 20 minute time limit.

I'd be interested to hear if other servers have noticed the same thing, or if it's just been a long string of coincidences on Ysera.

Kommentar von 204972

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge already, but it's quite easy to reset the 20 mins timer on this repeatable daily chain.
You take the quest from Kuntz, do 3 out of 4 - all of them but the alchemist one - without turning any of them in.

When you have the 3 completed in your log, to to Kutz, remove the main quest and retake it. The timer will reset and you will have 20 mins to do it with 3/4 quests ready to complete. Very helpful.
Make sure you always leave the alchemist last, because if you take the quest from him, you cannot reset the timer anymore.

Kommentar von pangeltveit

make sure you got 6 or more daily quests left for the day if you're going for the timed reward,
i did an daily quest rampage and had 5 dailies left when i started troll patrol,
when i turned in troll patrol i had 0 daily quests left and couldn't get my reward cause its a daily quest aswell.
opened a GM ticket and waiting for answer, hopefully a good one ^^

I was personally curious how long these quests took and how much the average return was, so I'll be compiling these on an ongoing basis (mainly among rep quests exc. Sons of Hodir): I know this one is really dependent on which sub-quests are used, so I'll list those separately as I complete them.

Stats are for a level 80 protection warrior in decent gear (badge/heroic) w/ epic flyer. Times are from acceptance to turn-in. YMMV

Avg Time to Complete: 591s
Payout Per Minute: 4.56g (includes all sub-quest payouts and Congratulations! reward)
Rep Per Minute: 86

Rank Among All Dailes (g/min): 2

The following dailies are being evaluated thus far:
Defending Wyrmrest Temple
Troll Patrol (and sub-quests)
The Way To His Heart...
Planning for the Future
Preparing for the Worst
The Aberrations Must Die (included just because I normally do these)

More data will be gathered for other daily rep quests and I'll update this post.

Sub-quest average times:

Intestinal Fortitude - 65s
High Standards - 65s
The Alchemist's Apprentice - 127s
Whatdya Want, A Medal? - 183s
