Anyone want to polish my helm?

Comment by distomos

Located at 55.59, 62.94 -- directly west of Dun Niffelem. Kill the neutral slimes for the oil.

Appears to be a 100% drop rate.

Comment by Ingalill

Not even close to 100%... killed 11 got 1!

Comment by hidd

100% drop rate confirmed.

And I thought the big bone worm was funny now we got polishing the helm daily

Comment by K0n1jn

also: do NOT turn in the quest while on your flying mount.

I did, and it dismounted me to which I fell to my death...

You have to do "Forging a Head" first:

After about 30 kills I was wondering why these were not dropping. Ensure that your not in a Raid Group =p

Comment by Loady

A really fast and safe way to do this quest is, enter the cave and turn left. You will enter a rather big room, with a ledge on the right side. Go up that ledge and wait for the oozes to spawn and range pull them. They generally spawn in those little craters. This is really the best way to do it, because you hardly have to to worry about the aggresive adds. The respawn rate seems to depend on how many oozes in total are inside the cave. A few times, I had another one spawn as soon as I killed the previous one, meaning I did it as fast as Hitler conquered Poland.

The quest names are just hilarious. This gives me a great idea for a farming quest "Picks up, Hoes Down". You'ld have to clear a field of encrouching competition with your pick and then use your Hoe's to plant the field and profit. Should be from a goblin decked out in a pimp hat and clothing surrounded by women of all in game races.

Im not sure if this is the only one that does it but that oil in the far most left side of the cave respawns every 15 secs.

Upon attempting it the next day, the oil did not spawn that fast... glitch maybe?

Comment by Truelove

Did the quest on patch 3.1 and no oil dropped?
Did they nerf the droprate?

Comment by bottlecap32

with the time it takes me to do this quest that helm would probably hae been broken by now :)

Comment by Elfmaid

Just a note for those who are unlocking this for the first time: If you are on the quest to kill the Jormutter (jormungar mother-critter) http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=13011, you get instanced so that you can't see the viscous oils.

Don't panic, just finish that quest and turn it in. The oils will appear the next time you go into the cave.

I flew around and slaughtered who knows how many of the worms before I figured it out. LOL. Hope this helps!

I created a map for a quick visual guide for the three dailies (Blowing Hodir's Horn, Polishing the Helm and Hot and Cold). The quest locations are marked along with the waypoint coordinates. A short quest description is included.

Comment by mstieler

Finally! A creature whose body is made up 100% of the item you're trying to get, and it's got a 100% drop rate.

Polishing the Helm

You are to enter Hibernal Cavern west of Dun Niffelem and collect 5 units of Viscous Oil from the Viscous Oils there.

You are then to return to Dun Niffelem and apply the oil to Hodir's Helm.

	Viscous Oil (5)

Description

As you draw near the helm, you notice that the frigid environment is already taking its toll on the artifact's surface. What is now just a thin layer of ice will surely grow to envelop it entirely.

Not about to let your hard efforts go to waste, you resolve to scour the region in search of a solution.

Just as you set off, the eyes of the helm flash and an image of the nearby Hibernal Cavern enters your mind.
