Murloc Head (10)

Description

Would you believe it, <name>? Redpath wasn't satisfied with all the murlocs we killed--oh now, don't be modest, you had some hand in it. Now he wants me to bring proof of the dead, hacking off cold, slimy murloc heads to submit for his approval.

I don't know why the drop rate is so low. Its not like we are killing headless murlocs.

This quest was pathetic, the mission objective was to loot 10 murloc heads, which in my eyes should be done by killing 10 murlocs, since all of them have heads. But the drop rate was very low, and I can't really understand why. I am 100% sure that all the murlocs I killed acctually had heads :p

Pathetic.

the drop rates are better with muckdweller and coastrunners further west around 33,70. they are lower lvl (28-29) so that would also speed up the process. the oracles and tidehunters have a lower drop rate for the murloc heads, and are higher lvl which would slow your the quest completetion further

hope this helps =]

Since the 2.3 patch this drop rate has been improved considerably.

Running up the coast just north of Southshore gave me a drop-rate of 10 in 35 kills for ~30%

Why the heck do I not loot a murloc head if I can see a DAMN HEAD ON THE MURLOC! And... this is the same for all kinds of quests! Where did this monster's eyes go? Why dosen't this have a tongue... or spit... or fur... or blood... or a horn... or WHATEVER THE CRAP YOU NEED! It's not like my fireball burned this murlocs head off, becuase I can see it... I really want drop rates to be 100% on quests like these and just double the amount needed! Oh well... all I know is that I will get a head on one of these non "headed" freaks. (MURLOCS FTL)

You have to hunt between the 2 murloc camps.&nbsp I hunted the one closest to the docks for about 30 minutes and got 2 heads, but when I moved between the 2 camps drop rate went up to 100%.&nbsp Hope this helps.

40,69 was lovely. as a warlock, done in 10min. i didn't bother with the guys on the beach. put on uneding breath and killed guys in water. easier to solo and 2 outa 3 dropped heads. thanks for the coordinates!

The drop rate is near 100% if you go after the ones in the water only.&nbsp I did these between the two camps and only had one not drop his head.

the drop rate is way better near the villages but this quest is retarded since all murlocs have heads!

I found that heads were more likely to drop from level 32 mobs than 30 or 31. Oracles also dropped heads more often for me than the others.

I spend about 45 min just near of southshore and only got 3 heads.

As soon as i carried on to the western strand i got the last 7 within 15-20 mins. Maybe its just pure luck, but it might be useful to some others in here

By varying my attacks to the murlocks on the shore and in the water, I was able to complete this quest fairly quickly. It helps if you're a druid so you can shapeshift and breath underwater.

I completed this quest fairly quickly, within about an hour. Also, that was really only because there were two other people doing the same quest. I mainly stayed in the area between just beyond the Southshore pier and the murloc village on the Western Strand.

Completed as a level 30 Night Elf Hunter.

The drop rate may have been increased since TBC was released.

I did this as a Lvl 32 Rogue and finished in less than 30 minutes.

What an annoying quest! Very bad droprate, had to kill around 90 murlocs until I had the 10 heads.

lol.

I am assuming that some of the heads get mangled during combat to the point where they just gush around and you can't easily scoop them up. Still, it's an easy quest.
