Head up and down the coast North of Theramore. The turtles are level 36-37, and the droprate is fairly low, so you'll be killing a lot of them.

They do drop the Thick Scaly Tails and Speckled Shell Fragments, though, so it's not all that bad of a grind. They're gray, but they sell for a decent amount to vendors.

This quest was very easy, with no trouble and good Heavy Leather yield and xp. I didn't even need to use coords for it...just hang a right outside the gate, go thru the cemetary and down to the shore. I never even set foot in the water so the shark wasn't an issue. I just ran up the coast killing turtles. The drop rate was pretty good. Blizzard must of heard the complaints and the respawn rate was good. I ran up and ran back and got them all in around 15 minutes. No aggro, no nothing. VERY good place for leatherworkers..

Good drop rate (1 in 3) along coast from 64,44 to 61,31. Done in 15 mins

Comment by kanaxya

found them at 60,57 (south west of theramore in the bay near the quagmire). the mudrock borers drop forked tongues with a good drop rate.

Comment by pata24

Its very easy its just to go outside the entrace/exit to the right or left.

Comment by DarianQuinn

I was able to solo this with my pet, both of us are at level 35.
just head north east from the entrance/exit. they are level35-38. you could also head south but the problem with that is you run into other things that are aggressive. the ones to the south are level 40-43, so they are a lot harder. i suggest just heading to the north east. about 61-25 but the drop rate is painfully low.

Comment by Snuggs

Best spawn/drop rate is to the right at Dreadmurk shore.

Comment by Kuzazie

Patience is the key to this easy quest. You can find the Mudrock Spikeshell along the coast East of Theramore. They go almost all the way up to the Barrens! Defias Rummagers and murlocs will probably get in your way, but being a druid, (DRUID POWER!!!) I could easily prowl around them. They dropped a Forked Mudrock Tongue about every 5-7 kills. Extremely easy at level 44. . . (LOL) The turtles are normally 35-36. I saw one 37. Again, patience is the key.

Comment by Omnicia

Also, note that all the mobs on the east coast are melee, so feel free to AoE farm if your class permits you to do so.

Comment by Vism

Painful quest since the drop rate is so low. When i did this quest, its about a 31% drop rate (8/26 Mobs), some of the mobs leave empty loots as well. Overall it took me about 30 mins+ to do this quest.

Comment by 3Shifty

The Forked Mudrock Tongues had an 47%(8/17) drop rate so it didn't take all that long. I recieved the tongues on the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 11th, 13th, 16th, and 17th turtles.

Comment by Lukian

Drop rate does seem quite improved, however I was questing at off-peak times. 8/12 = 66%

Comment by silkfire

The drop rate for me was very low, took 2 hours to complete. ~10% chance to drop.

Comment by Guibor

Turtles are lvl 35-36, so this quest is really easier than its level may suggest. You only shall care about Defias walking around (althought they're not a problem theirselves, it may be bad getting'em as adds). If you see a Defias, I suggest you killing it before of getting a turtle, or disguising it.

It may be only a coincidence, but I had 75% drop on lvl 36 ones, and 36% on lvl 35 ones. I also got 3 turtle meat, and some gray stuff. Not a bad quest, at all.

Comment by Fruitcase

i finished this quest in 9 mins , killed 8 turtles , all dropped it , maybe dropped rate is improved or maybe in just luchy

Comment by iv00w

The droprate has NOT improved, you were very, very lucky. I've killed 36 now and I have 4. I'm not in a raid group or anything like that.

Horrible quest.

Comment by Eaodin

I didn't find the drop rate to be nearly as bad as some were saying. I killed maybe 20 and got all 8 tongues. Just be wary of the Bloodsails hanging out on the coast the further north on the beach you go. Higher levels won't have much trouble with them (they average level 36) but dealing with them and the turtles can be tricky if you're lower level.

Comment by holto97

Very poor drop rate

I had to kill about twenty-five to get all eight tongues. Took me about an hour and a half to complete.

Not a very handy quest if you are a little short of time.

Comment by Federalagent

Before you pick up this quest, Go see Angus Stern in Stormwind City, for the quest called "Morgan Stern". It is a prequest to this one.

Comment by AschenDog

I got 250 Stormwind rep. for completing this.

Comment by ziggy29

Put me into the "lousy drop rate" camp. I probably had to kill 30 of them to get the 8 drops, and maybe a little more.

Comment by Traynwreck

But I don't want just any tongues! I hear that the tongues of some Mudrocks are forked...

See, this I like. A real REASON as to why I may end up having to slaughter 50 turtles for 8 tongues. I am always slightly annoyed with a quest that has me collect something like hooves or heads (that I can clearly SEE on the critter I'm killing) and yet the drop rate is dismal.

Comment by Iceveiled

Just did this quest on a low level alt. haven't quested with an alt in Theramore since WOTLK was the newest expansion. This quest still has a pretty bad drop rate. I'd guess around 20%. I killed a lot of turtles. This is one of those quests that you remember doing before, years later. "oh yeah...THIS quest.....".

On the positive side I got a lot of heavy leather and turtle scales to sell to leather workers on the AH, as well as turtle meat for leveling up cooking.

Still, spending 30 minutes on a low level quest is mildly annoying. My advice: well worth it if you are leveling up leather working and/or cooking and need turtle meat, otherwise skip it. There's plenty of other quests that won't take as long.

Mudrock Soup and Bugs

Bring 8 Forked Mudrock Tongues to Morgan Stern in Theramore.

	Forked Mudrock Tongue (8)

Description

I'm working on a dish I call "Mudrock Soup and Bugs." I still need the major ingredients, and... well, I don't think I'd last long trudging through Dustwallow Marsh!

So, <name>, can you do some hunting for me? First, I need the tongues of Mudrock turtles. You can find Mudrocks along the coast, mostly around the bay.

But I don't want just any tongues! I hear that the tongues of some Mudrocks are forked...

They say the forked tongues have a distinct flavor, and I want that flavor in my dish...
