Drops off of Clacksnap Pincers, pretty common drop rate.

Comment by masanbol

Apparently this quest is broken as of beta build 12694, none of the Clacksnaps drop the required item.

Edit: The quest is fixed now.

"A Taste For Tail"

"Oh, my!

That's some of the biggest, juiciest tail I've ever seen!"

/facepalm
Really Blizzard, really?

Comment by Madplayer

1st you give her a case of crabs, then she ask for A taste of Tail...

Comment by SigmaKitteh

You must simply love this place by now, and in my opinion it gets better. :3

Does it bother anyone else that we're feeding her people? Humanoids, anyway.

Comment by Whiterock

In order to getPay Attention! you must completeGirding Our Loins before acceptingHelm's Deep.
Better Late Than Dead andThe Abyssal Ride are NOT needed to takeGimme Shelter! and followups, however that would make you unable to getGood Deed Left Undone.
Lady La-La's Necklace have 0% drop chance beforeOphidophobia done and 100% after, however anyone can share you this quest as long as you are 80+lvl.
Anyone can takeVengeful Heart and do it's followups as long as they are 80+lvl. Quests above are NOT needed for it.

<<Feedback here, please>>

Around this time, kill Gilblin Collectors and hope
Lady La-La's necklace drops for Lady La-La's Medallion. There are conflicting reports of what quests are needed for the item to drop.
This is also a good time to kill Gilblingle for waterlogged journal which starts Blackfin's Booty.

A Taste For Tail

Adarrah wants you to bring her 4 Clacksnap Tails.

	Clacksnap Tail (4)

Description

It could be days before we're ready to make our way to the surface, and to be honest, I'm already beginning to get hungry.

I hate to be picky, but when it comes to seafood, I'm afraid there are very few things I can stomach.

If you come across any lobster types, I would happily pay you what coin I have with me for their tails.
