Coords from somebody above. Make it better story. :)
1st: 29,19 -> in Bal'lal Ruins
From east side, you can see tablet in the NW corner of the building.
You pull only mobs which is in you way. The one mob which is a bit near stone, you can mind soothe him.
First loot.

2nd:&nbsp 25,23 -> Vile Reef, inside water. Swim until you see blue glowish stone below. Swim a bit more north, look behind the wall, outside the temple. You see tablet against the north wall. Swim carefully near tablet, so elite mobs don't aggro. Easy second loot.

3rd:&nbsp 22,13 -> First part in Ruins of Zul'Kunda. Starts from west side/coast. Walk with care up the hill, turn immediately to left to west wall. You kill first mobs. Now walk a bit further against the wall (the stone is behind the wall). You shall cause first aggro. Walk now a bit back so you can see both mobs. Kill them. Now clean the area a bit and you can loot third loot.

4th:&nbsp 24,8 -> You need here more trick. Leave the Ruins, and starts now from east side of same Ruins place (you walk around). Go climb up the hills you see at right side, starting near the entrance. Go to the fartest place where you can jump on the wall. Now walk more to right/north until you stick against another wall. You see a small path in the wall. Walk carefully to west. Go to the waterfall part you see there. Walk over the waterfall-wall. You see the table at other side. You must pull two mobs before you can loot. 4th loot!

Now you have all stones. Your choice: fight, walk back to small wall path, or heartstone to near place (Stormwind of Booty Bay). I can fight through the many mobs, but it's not easy. Remember they can drop a bit mageweave cloth.

The first troll legend can be picked through the wall, so you don't have to clear all those trolls.

The second troll legend can be taken from outside the wall as well! :D

Still working on the 3rd and 4th.....

the first scoll is at 29.19 (Ruins)&nbsp 2nd is at 24.22 (underwater ruins)&nbsp 3rd is at 23.12&nbsp (southwest corner of zul'kunda)&nbsp 4th is at 24.9 (about the middle of Zul'kunda)

Okay, since not everyone has the coordinate add-on, here's where the 3rd tablet is located. When you are facing the ruins FROM THE BEACH, there is a entry arch guarded by 2 trolls. To the right a little bit (it's not next to the arch), there is a path that you can go up. Take this path up, or climb up anywhere at this point. There will be a small plateau with 3 trolls that you have to get rid of. Take the path up from there, there's one to kill at the top of the path. There's also one to the left once you get up there. He's outside a short wall. The third tablet is on the inside part of this wall. There are a couple casters and hunters to get rid of, and it is in the corner.

This is like the south-west part of the main compound. If you enter through the archway and up the path, you can kill along that initial hall. When you get to the corner, where it turns left, the 3rd tablet is on the OTHER side of the wall where the corner is located.

Hope that helps.

Vile Reef - city in water near island with water elementals

the fourth part is the hardest

lots of mobs (so u can steal it in easy way :< )

Since everyone seems hung up on this quest and it's prereqs, might I point out there's a guide to Stranglethorn?

Don't trust the recommended level on this quest, though. The area was made more difficult since the beta era I was writing the guide from.

For Fourth Legend - 24, 8 go in front of the main entrace, you will see a big wall on the right...go near it and walk all the wait (from the outside) till you reach the mountains, using them jump up the wall, then continue to walk onto a small ledge and u reach a pool...on your left you can see the stone and only one 1 mob needed to be killed with this way!

after spending 3 hours begging for locations and exploring i finally found them....here they are

3rd 22,13

4th 24,8

It should be noted that Bad Medicine given by Sergeant Yowha must be completed before you can talk to Brother Nimetz to get Kurzen's Mystery.

The basic idea of this quest is simple: Go to various ruins filled with baddies and interact with a stone tabled in each - usually surrounded by several mobs at once. Good things to have: Superior Healing Potion, Elixir of Water Breathing (superior or lesser- any will do).

1st Tablet - From Nessingwary's Expidition camp, head Southwest towards Kal'ai ruins.&nbsp Bypass this on the right side by climbing over a few foothills. Continue going Southwest until you find Bal'lal Ruins. Inside the Ruins there is a campfire surrounded by 9-10 mobs. And in there is the stone tablet you have to interact with. Kill the mobs (expect to fight 2 at once) until they are dead and then click the tablet. This is pretty much waht you will be doing for the all the rest of the tablets you have to interact with.

2nd Tablet - After you've gotten the first tablet, go immediately southwest from Bal'lal Ruins and into the sea. This one is a pain because the tablet is in ruins that are underwater - about midway between the island and the shoreline of the mainland. If you are a melee - that underwater breathing potion would come in handy here since the ruins are very deep. Once you get to the location, look down and see the ruins beneath you. They are inhabited by level 35-37 elite Murlocks. They are relatively close to the tablet so you may want to bring a friend for this. If you have a pet though, just send it in to draw aggro while you get to the tablet.

3rd Tablet - Go back to the Bal'lal Ruins and go past it on the north side via a narrow grassy path. At the first opportunity head north and up a plateau. You will see Raptors here. Head west until you find the Zal'kunda Ruins. Do not enter the ruins, but climb the rocky hills along its southern side and head west (staying on the hills). As you head west you will pass 2 enclosures of ruins on the right. The 3rd and last ruin enclosure you come to is where the 3rd tablet is - at the backside. Kill the mobs and get the tablet.

4th Tablet- This is the hardest of all them because the mobs are 1-2 levels higher and the tablet is located at the top of the main Ruins. From 3rd tablet location, look for the north wall and follow it east. If you're below 40, expect to fight along the way. When you get to the end of the wall turn left and follow the paved road back west again - this time into the main ruins. Fight your way to the nearby ramp on the northside of the road. Climb the ramp and fight your way up. The tablet is surrounded again by many mobs. Kill them and you got the tablet..

3rd is the hardest by far as a solo, easy to clear the area around the stone, but the 3 guarding it (mystic lvl35+ and 2 hunters lv35+) are a pain as they agro together, Also clear outside the walls of the compound, once you agro the group of 3, any patrollers outside fire in *through* the walls, nasty.

I've done this as a sham/warr/hunt and lvl36 priest. This quest is excellent for tailors (tons of silk) and players wanting to farm xp without feeling like grinders. Just a few things I wanted to add in response:

1. [29,19] On pvp servers the 1st Legend can be hardest to solo. There are 4 horde quests that take place within sight of the ruins and at peak times I've seen 8+ 35-40 players there. The other Legends can be as bad, but the density of mobs makes it far more dangerous for anyone wanting to mess with you around the others.
2. [25, 23] The 2nd Legend is no longer difficult. Pre-2.3 the murloc's guarding it were elites with an infamous "Patroller" who 3 shotted anyone with crappy luck. You don't go in there at all if you've read the notes above.
3. [22, 13] Anyone with CC or a decent survivability ratio (Warrs/Shams/Pallies in particular) can solo the 3rd. Priests can solo this without any trouble even in lower greens. The 3 guards on the third tablet are a random combination (possibly changed in a late patch from the 1 caster/2 melee I remember) but MC\Sap\Sheep\Trap is applicable to all. In fact, a word; CC away one of the casters first no matter what the combo. Their heals are 500+ and difficult to interrupt in a 3 on 1 especially if there are multiple casters. There is a patroller who wonders in there, more often than not a Scout.
4. [24, 8] The 4th Legend is on the highest plateu of the temple (East from the inner road). People don't always get that from the coords. The 36-37 trolls have a pretty good loot table for humanoids, low-ish dps, great xp and respawn so quick you never run out. Good farming local if you've got no where special to be pre-40.

For the second one its underwater east of the big Vile Reef island.&nbsp Its NOT between that island and the nearby peninsula.&nbsp Looking around underwater you will see a perimeter wall with a purplish glowing area with 35ish murlocs in the area.&nbsp Thats not it, don't agg the murlocs trying to find out.&nbsp Been there, done that.&nbsp Its actually OUTSIDE THE PERIMETER WALL, kind of leaning against it and not distinctive.&nbsp I found it by - first by using Elixir of Water Breathing - going to the bottom and mousing around until I hit it.&nbsp Then no problem getting close and clicking it, the murlocs stay INSIDE the wall and I didn't agg a single one.&nbsp

The third one is the one that gave me the most trouble, stupid ranged-weapon trolls that net you and had to keep shifting in and out of cat form alot and drained my mana and eventually died just once getting to it.

3550 xp @ level 38

still some confusing info about 2nd part, esp when the links that were meant to clarify are broken.

the little temple-looking area is SE of the island of elementals in vile reef. when you get under water, look for a big black something, i guess it represents an underwater valley. this is where the temple is at.

3 and 4 are both in a very large troll compound. If, like me, you're a Priest, you may wish to bring a friend!

As far as the underwater tablet is concerned, I did this as a level 34 Mage without any problem.&nbsp There is a tablet on the outside of the structure where you won't be bothered at all.&nbsp The tablet on the outside is directly behind the one inside the structure.

If you dont have the co-ordinate mod then the second tablet is in the underwater temple south of the haunted island.&nbsp The stone of tides is in that temple :)

Hes in the Rebel Camp around 35,7

Noopzilla is actually describing the Fourth Scroll. It's found up top in the area with the chief. The third scroll is actually found in the most SW portion of the Zul'Kinda ruins. It's surrounded by a ton of mobs but you can sneak in with minimal aggro as a Druid or Rogue.

The wall indeed won't go further then the pool, but it's still quite safe to that part. Especially with stealth.

But I'd say it's better to use the front entrance now, fewest mobs to kill. Almost all singles, but you have to be wary of patrols, I just got killed by one. Make that twice. When you try to go up the ramp there's a reasonably fast troll patrol, usually a berserker. It will kill you quite fast.

Anyway, use the main entrance, go all the way down to where you have a ramp up to your right (Where also the boss resides on the platform). You'll have to be wary for the doubletroll patrol coming from the beach entrance, and there's a berserker patrol coming down the ramp. Everything is single pullable. The table is visible when you reach the top of the ramp.

If you don't have addons like me, finding the second tablet is hard unless you know where to look. Its right next to the alter for The Curse of The Tides quest. You can easily swim down from behind the wall and get the mystery without aggroing a single murloc.

I just did this quest with my lvl 37 draenei shadowpriest. The first and second tablets are easy as hell. Just a few mobs to take care of, and in the second you don't have to fight at all.

At the third tablet there were lvl 33-35 mobs guarding, I used mind control to great success, mind control a caster and let him be beat to death, then taking on 2 melee mobs at a time is not hard.

The fourth tablet is more complicated. I brought a 33 shammy from my guild and we actually wiped once because adds ran up from the lower level. Anyways, the 37 mobs were no prob 2 at a time, just Vampiric Embrace, shield and Facemelt ;)

You do have to fight to get the fourth tablet, it is guarded by 4-5 mobs.

This quest is actually soloable but as a under geared priest I found it faster to get help :) good luck, and stuff ^^

As quick note, the 2nd Tablet is located deep underwater in some ruins, I used a Waterbreathing Elixir to get down there and fight the mobs.

Note that Brother Nimetz will not make this quest available to you until you first complete Bad Medicine, given by nearby Sergeant Yohwa.

This quest is easy. I did it solo with 38 Rogue. Use the post where solitary posts this:

Just finished the quest

First one Easy just hunt around,

Second this one is big its in the Reef it took me a long time of swiming around look for the ruins and then look down into the ruins until you see it. NOW Go on THE EXACT other SIDE of the wall and grab it from there go slow and there is no killing needed.

3rd and 4th are on the oposite sides of each other.

Third is at 23,12 (not quite 22,12).

The original coordinate puts it on the side of a mountain, but just go up that hill, and it'll be there, in the corner.

this quest is a pain in the butt

You can't climb on on the wall and use the ledge to get to the second pool any more.

This, of course, is part of Blizzard's ongoing battle to remove any sort of clever solution to a quest that doesn't involve hack & slash along their predetermined pathways.

the tablet is underwater or not? because to open it,it requeres a item called catelyn's blade ut is true or not?
