Washed Ashore

Recover the Sea Turtle Remains from the Skeletal Sea Turtle in the waters west of Auberdine, and then speak with Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde back in Auberdine.
Sea Turtle Remains

Description

That beached creature is not an isolated incident here in Darkshore. There are more along the coastline and even in the water. I would like for you to investigate another one that we know of; this one was reported to be in the water due west of Auberdine, close to a sunken vessel. Return to me with anything that you may recover that would aid our research.

Also, in your travels you may find other creatures. By all means, if you should discover anything then please bring it to our attention!

Sea Turtle is at loc 31,46. Just swim out a bit from the docks where the ship goes to Wetlands.

It's a common mistake to look for the remains at the beached turtle just south of Auberdine, even though the quest tells you west. That's the incorrect turtle. The actual turtle that will give you the remains is located just west of the Auberdine docks, under the water. You can see it if you swim out to the island that you fly over when you take a Hyppogryph ride. If you're on the island, look toward the docks.

no.. the sea turtle remains are the ones in the water off the end of the dock by the sunken ship. your talking about the beached sea creature remains. If u go to the side of the dock for the boat for menethil... look out in the water you'll see the sunken ship.. it's right on the other side of that. It's head is the remains. Just click on it for the Sea turtle remains.

This quest is not bout the skeletal turtle south of auberdine, but the one out in the water, which is visible from the Auberdine dock where you catch the boat to Menethil Harbor.

So you don't get frustrated like I did :)

After completing these quests, you can pick up quests with the same basis, but they start at the remains.

For instance, there is another thresher body at 42, 31, that starts a quest to send you to Gwennyth.

I will update with the coords for the other when i find it again.

Some clarification of the location might be useful for those who are having some trouble finding it (it took me over an hour).&nbsp Start on the Long Wash dock, standing on the left hand (south) fork.&nbsp Looking south, you should be able to see a small island, and if you look down in the water you may be able to see a shipwreck.&nbsp The turtle is between the dock and the island, south of the shipwreck.&nbsp You can see the turtle on the minimap, even, as a light gray dot between the landmarks I described.&nbsp The dot is kind of subtle, but once you see it, you'll know exactly where to head.&nbsp If you can't find it on the minimap, just swim around looking for the turtle's big shell.

Once you reach the turtle, you will notice that you can't loot it from the surface.&nbsp You'll have to dive to get it.&nbsp Try adjusting your camera angle so you can actually see what you're doing, but otherwise just look for the gold cursor to loot the remains.&nbsp If you do it blind, be aware that you CAN get yourself stuck inside the turtle shell and not see what's going on.&nbsp I would recommend using the hearthstone to get yourself out of there (you will have plenty of time if you use it when the blue breath bar passes to the left of the word "Breath" you might want to make sure your stone is set to Auberdine first).&nbsp I, personally, was a little too slow the first time, and the only way I figured out I was stuck inside the shell was that I could see it with my wisp.&nbsp If you simply resurrect yourself and use the hearthstone right away, you won't have a problem.

straight off the menethil harbors dock on the long wash, then down. Only the actual skeleton will work, the shell just gets in your way.

Hello there fellow gamers, hope you getting some fun from your experiences.

In order to loot the remains, you must swim under water untill your cursor changes to a golden wheel, right clicking at that time will automatically loot the turtle's remains.

In order to swim under water, you must hold both the left and right mouse keys and adjust your camera angle into a downward sighting.&nbsp This will or should cause your character to dive down to the remains.

I hope this helps and please remember to have fun, don't get to frustrated and always ask for help when you can't figure things out for yourself.

WoW is a game that was created to force each and every player to work and play in groups.&nbsp There are quests you can solo, but in most higher level parts of the game you will need help.&nbsp So you might as well learn how to play your character(s) in a group setting, as either a lead, Warriors and Paladins, or in supporting role.

You click on the head of the skeleton to complete the quest. That head is visible in the water from the end of the pier going to Menethil. The head is a white blob in the water just above the shipwreck (as viewed from the pier).

After doing the two washed ashore quests you can go and collect the bones from the other creatures wich are lying around north and south from auberdine.Thats why Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde says : "Also, in your travels you may find other creatures. By all means, if you should discover anything then please bring it to our attention!"

Just jump off the deck into the water and start swimming toward the small island in the distance from where u pick up quest. Did'nt have to fight anything doing the quest. Very easy xp

It's perfect to jump off the dock as if you're going to Menethril Harbor (left side). Go underwater and the turtle is right there, click on head (get close).

Funny thing was, after handing in this one I got to also open heads and walk up and down the beaches around Auberdine and get some exp too. Only do one head at a time, though, it won't let you do any more.

At map co-ords 44, 20 to the north of Auberdine, I found a beached turtle with what looks like a house strapped to it's back. There's an item in it that can be turned in for addtional exp. Other than that, just run south down the coast... the corpses are easy to find lying along the water's edge.

Well, i can see the turtle remains when im outside the water, but when i want to dive in the water (to get the remains) everything is blue, so when i'm under water i can't see anything, only a blue color.
maybe it's a bug?

Never mind. After 2 hours of repeatedly jumping off the pier I finally figured it out.

To complete the quest you need to locate A Corpse of Sea Turtle and loot [item=12289].
A bit tricky to find this one, jump down and swim west of the Auberdine, there's a small island with some trees.
So, swim towards that island and check for sea turtle corpse under the water, it's right before the island
Sea Turtle Remains location coordinates are 31 46
