There's no need to take a group.&nbsp As the 1st poster indicated, the NPC is at 38, 80.&nbsp Yes, there are a bunch of level 50 critters roaming around, including invisible level 50 panthers, but none of them are casters or ranged combat types, so if they jump you just run for the ocean which is about 20 yards from the NPC and as you may know melee mobs will not follow you into the ocean.

Approach the island from the north center and just go south til you see her.&nbsp All you have to do is speak to her and complete the quest.&nbsp It may take a few tries because there are quite a few mobs around and you probably have to be close to 45 to have a small enough aggro radius to make it possible, but I did it at 46 and it only took me 2 tries to make it to her without getting jumped.

After you complete the quest and get the xp, she gives you the King Mukla quest, which is a horse of a different color.&nbsp And another story.

38,80

Quest ends at a tauren female at 38,80, the big island southeast in stranglethorn vale

I'm a 45 Dwarf Priest. I had a 47 NE Warrior friend doing the quest with me.

First of all, the bottles on the beach don't all have the same note. The only one that starts the quest is the "Carefully Folded Note". There are 3 or 4 different notes that are named differently, but the "Carefully Folded Note" is the only one that starts the quest. If you leave the shark's mouth entrance to booty bay heading north, go straight for the coast past the graveyard right outside of booty bay. When you get to the coast, the bottle appears within about 100 yards north and south along the shore. (I don't have coords cause I'm at work right now and I'm bored so I'm posting on Anonymous :P )

So after you get the quest, you swim straight east to the island and the Princess is a Tauren chick exactly at 38,80 (I did this quest last night). There's a couple of shadowmaw panthers just in the forest's edge between the coast and the little camp that the Princess is held captive at. It's not really a camp like you would think. There's a fire, a couple of boxes, barrels, and debris and that's about it.

After you clear through the panthers and any Gorillas you aggro, you talk to her, then head east along the north side of the hill that the princess is at the foot of. You can't miss Mukla. He's about 75ft tall in scale. He hits REALLY HARD! We tried to 1-man him with my 47 Warrior friend and me healing but he hits so hard that we got him down to 80% health and I was down to 30% of my mana. I've got 3900 mana and I'm Holy/Discipline Spec and my Greater heals do about 1k HP and crit for about 1450HP.

So... I started messaging 48's and 50's for help. I found a 52 Pally and 48 Warrior who were coming to do the quest. It was pretty easy. Just make sure if you're lower than 50 that you clear out the gorillas around him before you engage. Also, he does fear. Not chain fear, just every once in a while. The paladin was feared 3 times and the fight took about 1 minute, but I kept removing the fear (being a priest and all) so that may have had something to do with him being feared so much.

Me and my warrior friend stuck around to help another group who aggro'd him too early and we didn't get a chance to clear the gorillas around him so I aggroed from healing so much and almost died once or twice. The 2nd pull was a mess, but no one was higher than 47 so we weren't doing as much damage as with the first group. We had a 46 pally, 46 warrior, 45 rogue, me (45 priest), and my warrior friend (47) and it was harder than with the first group I did it with.

So yeah, if you're 55+, you can probably solo him. But if you're 45-48, you'll need a 3-man group (tank, healer, dps). If you're 50/51, you can probably 2-man it with a healer (pally or druid would do).

You can find the author on the Southeast island of Stranglethorn Vale at 38, 81. If you dont have the co ords, its North east of the island on top of a small mountain/hill.

At level 50 I got 2900 XP for this. There was no reputation adjustment.

As a 45 Mage Alchemist, I made up one Lesser Invisibility Potion, took a drink and walked right to her. She's on a little mound just behind the big tree, as stated not far off the north coast. I had 39,81.

There's more than one way to skin a cat!
