You're looking for Gammerita (she was a level 48 elite in classic, demoted to a just a standard level 48 for Burning Crusade and Lich King and is now simply a standard level 31 mob after the Cataclysm... nothing to get nervous about anymore). She's the only named turtle patrolling the beach from north to south along the eastern coast of The Hinterlands (between Raventusk village and the waterfall). All you need to do is get close enough to her to click the camera... you don't actually have to fight or kill her... you can even take a shot of her after someone else has killed her. This quest does count toward the Loremaster of Kalimdor (A|H) achievement.

Note that this quest is obsolete after the Cataclysm and Gammerita no longer has a quest associated with her.

Comment by kaessa

You can take a picture of her *after* she's dead, as well.

Warriors...hamstring..then run...lol

Comment by 55212

don't know why this is considered a "group" quest. I did it as a 48 rogue. took snapshot, he ran at me, vanish. that's all, easy as hell xp. it does patrol down the coast, but i believe it spawns to the north where the waterfall is.

Comment by hnordland

did this as a 46 hunter...just hopped down....my body landed right where she spawned...i rezed called my pet...she spawned and i took the pic as she ate into my cat...i used my hearth and popped up in Booty Bay picture in hand

Comment by dinnerbone

Completed with ease as a level 44 shammy. Didn't have to get that close to take the picture, so I didn't get aggrod until I had taken it. When I did get aggro, I just dropped an Earthbind totem and walked off.

Druid's let me give you an advise. The turtle is a beast. Either roots or hibernate. Anyway, you can just take the pic and run. If you have any slowing effects, use them, take the pic and run. The quest is very easy. And the turtle shouldn't be hard to track down. It doesn't look like the other turtles.

My level 43 Mage did this and it was a breeze. The hardest part was trying to get to the beach. I tried the main road, but the level 47-48 wolves would stop me. I then took the road to Skulk Rock and followed the river, then jumped down the water fall (I used slow fall, but not sure even if that was necessary). Within seconds, I saw Gammerita walking his way toward me. I took the snapshot and then RAN LIKE HELL!
Blink came in handy and I was about to take a fast run potion but then he gave up on me. Very easy.

Comment by Hopie

Rogues, save your flash powder. I snapped the picture and then used Sprint. Gamm gives up somewhat quickly.

Everyone else, there is a path down to the beach about halfway down the coast. You have to go through wolf infested country, but it is there. I stealthed from the northern river along the cliffs to find it.

Best of luck to ya!

I killed him with 47lvl frost mage and i don't understand why this is group quest

I found 80.55 / 81.55, just u need to get close, and after run anyway

Comment by Danicus

This quest is really easy and can be grouped with Whiskey Slim's Lost Grog http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=580 and the final part of Cortello's Riddle http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=626 I soloed it on my 48 warrior. All you have to do is find Gammerita on the eastern coast of the Hinterlands, she patrols so you may have to look a bit. Her shell is white so she'll stand out from the other turtles. Put the Super Snapper FX into your action bar, then when you find Gammerita, target her from a distance and move in just close enough to take the picture. Once you do she'll aggro so get ready to run. You'll automatically be in combat so you won't be able to mount but you can easily outrun her on foot without any speed buffs.

I soloed Gammerita as a 45 affliction warlock. My VM died right after I got my DOTs applied. I just feared and drained life until dead.

Comment by 90584

Gammerita is a tenacious turtle. She <very slowly> chased my lvl 46 lock the entire length of the coast before finally turning back just outside of Revantusk Village. Whew! Maybe she was just pissed since I kept on recasting CoE on her. She's not a super hard fight though; probably any class around that lvl that can kite well could take her. I soloed her afterwards with fear/DoTs and felt kinda siilly.

Comment by 90608

If you don't wanna fight her, after you aggro her, just head for the ocean. As soon as you're in the water, she'll stop chasing you and wander off.

Comment by SharkBait

Gammerita is also coloured differently than the other turtles so it's not hard to spot her.

Comment by 66698

Extremely easy to solo as long as she cant 1 hit you. She hangs out with another 51 elite turtle up the shores of Hinterlands. Just approach her, take a snapshot and leg it. She wont follow you for far, then just hearth out. Easily done as a 43 druid, I would assume anyone over level 35 could do this without an issue.

Comment by Kartre

As of patch 2.3, Gammerita is just a regular level 48 mob, no longer elite. If she attacks you, you may as well kill her instead of running.

Exp: 6300 Rep: 250 Darnassus as of Patch 2.3

I was trying to make room in my bags, so I ditched the camera. Big mistake!! You need to keep the camera to turn in quest.

Comment by 77852

Gammerita was really to kill as a 47 druid, her being a 48 non-elite hostile turtle. You can take the snap shot her being dead or alive, but you have to get kinda close, and if she's alive, she'll often aggro. She roams between the giant waterfall at the end of the river down almost the whole map, and Revantusk Village( the farthest coast South still in The Hinterlands). Gammerita re-spawns really fast, but normally on the opposite side (I got her down by Revantusk Village, and she re-spawned back by the Waterfall).

Found in a few mins, using a /target Gammerita macro. It helps.

Comment by 144721

haha for me there was no need to take a picture of gammerita but from whoever turtle I meet :D

Comment by 17534

She's so photogenic.

Comment by 298028

I had tossed out the Super Snapper FX after i took the picture in order to make room, because at a glance i didn't see the implicit requirement of bringing the Snapper as well..
I tried abandoning the quest to just get the Snapper again but then i also lost the picture of Gammerita.

Comment by 316432

I thought the quest was bugged. It took me some time to realize that my bags were full. If you can't take the snap shot, make sure you have bag space.

Got only 625 xp and 250 rep with Darnassus after completing this one in 3.0.9

Comment by Boring

A quest classified as Feralas, gotten in Tanaris, completed on Teldrassil, and done in Hinterlands.

Soloed as level 45 Human Shadow Priest. I wanted to avoid Hinterlands, so I started of at Menethil (Wetlands) and jumped of the Thandol Span. Swam all around Arathi Highlands and took a big circle around Raventusk Village. I stayed close to the coast to avoid deep water.

I found the mob at coords mentioned above 81,51 . Gammerita is actually lower level than the mobs around it. All mobs around are neutral so you can just walk past them. I saw a troll house, but didn't spot any mobs there. I guess Raventusk is the only thing to avoid, if you come up from swimming from the south like me.

I snapshot Gammerita and then she aggroed me. It was an easy kill, considering she was 3 levels higher. Didn't have to use any special abilities, I justed DPSed a bit.

I did the quest for Gnomeregan reputation for the Ambassador achievement, and only got a bit of reputation. I think I got around 50 reputation, in stead of the 350 mentioned above.

Comment by Damnzil

I'm surprised no one's said this already. This quest appears to be a gimmick of the game "Pokemon Snap".

Rather amusing, if I do say so, myself.

Comment by Uleh

Anybody else start saying "Now give me sexy!" and "Now angry!" when going for the picture? Maybe I'm just weird...

Comment by 390038

I found her at 76.64, 73.75, patrolling the shore directly north of the horde camp. Which is, about 600 yards off from the coordinates I went to originally. Hope this helps!

Counts for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Description

Have the first look at my new invention, <name>. All you need to do is target whatever it is you'd like to take a picture of, and push the button.

What was that creature from the Hinterlands that you mentioned? Gammerita? Well, good luck finding her. I'm sure Daryn will be quite pleased with the snapshot you return to her.

In any case, here's the Super Snapper. Have fun!
