Objectives

Bring a Tablet Shard to Kin'weelay at the Grom'gol Base Camp.

Description

Long ago, a great shudder of the earth sunk an old troll city beneath the waters of the Savage Coast to the northwest. We call that place the Vile Reef, for murlocs now reside in the ruins of the city, attacking any who draw close.

There is an old tablet among those ruins that tells the ancient tale of Gri'lek, a hero of troll legends. The tale is sacred to the Darkspear tribe, and although the tablet is too large to move, I want a shard of it to enshrine in our new home in Orgrimmar.

Progress

I await the Tablet Shard, <name>.

Completion

This is good. When I return to Orgrimmar I will place this shard in a sacred place. It will remind us of the might and honor of Gri'lek.

Thank you, <name>. Your deeds mark a growing friendship with the Darkspear tribe.

The murlocs are no longer elite...therefore the quest is much easier. If you get the quest from Wizzle Brassbolts in shimmering flats called [Encrusted Tail Fins] you can do them both at the same time :)

24,22. Underwater, took me a minute or two to find the location once I was in the area. It's easy once you know what you're looking for. It's underwater all the way at the bottom of the ocean floor, in what looks like an old civilization with tons of elite Murlocs swimming around within its walls. I was able to get the tablet without aggroing any of them. Easy as long as you take your time, and even then it's still a pretty quick quest. If you're a shaman use your underwater breathing ability. :)

Coords confirmed. Look for the blue whirlpool with enemies around it. There's a square stone wall surrounding the whirlpool and enemies. The tablet is leaning against the wall on the outside. Take your time and you don't have to agro a thing! Underwater breathing suggested for extra patience. ;)

Confirmed at 24,22. Dont worry about the murlocs being elite if you are lvl 34+ you can swim down and grab it without aggroing anything.

i was looking along the north wall, and it wasn't there, assuming one is using the compass in the upper right of the screen! it was along the west wall... it really didn't look to me like it moves or anything, but yes.. along the west wall, no need to aggro things, and can easily be solo'd.

Exact coords are 24.8, 22.9. Closer to 25,23 than 23,22 which is in the Savage Coast not the Vile Reef. There are two slabs; one of which faces the blue aura, the other faces the cliff wall which is accessable without aggroing the elites.

I can confirm 23,22 for the area.

Find the blue shiney thing, as said, you can see it without diving very low.
Head towards that and face towards the cliff.
Don't get too close to it, you will be able to get the tablet without being attacked at all.
When near the blue shiney thing, face towards the cliff. The tablet is on your left, on the bottom of the stone wall you see surrounding the blue thing.
Hover your mouse to find it, go back for air and come around the back, you can grab it from the other side of the walls.

Good luck :)

I confirmed coords 23.22 Did it solo as 35 Lock. Stay in between cliff wall and the wall right behing the tablet, hug the cliff wall and you'll get no aggro. pick up tablet and that's that.

You dont need a group for this one. Just swim to the back of the ruins. Dive down. snatch the tablet and bail. You shouldnt aggro anything. Group. :P

Ok it was on 23,22 (NOT 24,22) it is a big difference..

At murlocs (elite) camp you see ruins at those ruins you see a blue thing shining.. you can see that from far away.. its stuck on the blue thing... good luck

I found that 24,22 is a valid location for this slab. It's down in a sea valley leaning on the north side of the wall from the blue altar.

Easy as pie for rogues.
Just stealth there, if you aggro anything vanish (although i didn't), or just kill it.
If you're undead it's even easier, just stay under there if there's any murlocs near it and then take it once it's gone.
Just swim under, take teh tablet and swim up, no problems.
Elite my ass.

Swam down, looked at the wrong tablet and agroed two murlocs. Succubus took one, feared the other and grabbed the tablet.

I dont know the intricacies of other classes, so Im not sure how simple this would be for others.

The tablet is located on the outside of the wall of the ruins to the NORTH of the blue altar.

The tablet is basically on a huge slab that is leaning against the wall.

Your mouse cursor will change to the wheel when hovering over it.

You may be able to get it without aggroing anything inside the walls.
