The Star of Xil'yeh comes from Grel'borg the Miser (https://classicdb.ch/?npc=2417), a named Ogre that patrols around the Alterac Mountains (where all the higher level elite 37-40 ogres are -- you can find him walking from the "town hall" type building to the "castle" building. Several quests involve killing Grel'borg, so don't be surprised to find other people also hunting him down at the same time.

The Hand of Dagun comes from Dagun the Ravenous (https://classicdb.ch/?npc=2937), a named water giant that is summoned on an island to the north of Theramore. You will know it's the right island when you see a small glowy orb on an altar. To summon Dagun, you need to kill the Mirefin Oracles for a quest item called "Enchanted Sea Kelp" -- it only drops from the oracles and may take a while (it's always taken me at least ten minutes of killing to get it on all of my alts). Once you have the Sea Kelp, you click on the altar and Dagun will rise up from the sea.

Finally, the Legacy Heart comes from Mogh the Undying (https://classicdb.ch/?npc=1060), a named troll in central Stranglethorn Vale (you can find him in some ruins directly south of the Mosh'Ogg Ogre Mound). I believe that he is the hardest to finish (unless in a group) since he's surrounded by many mobs that also respawn fairly quickly. Either bring a friend or two or be 44+, because it's pretty hellish clearing when you're underlevel and soloing.

I'm a lvl 47 pally.&nbsp I took a clanny lvl 38 warlock with me to help him get it done also, but I could have completed it solo easy, all 3 of them.&nbsp I completed them in order on the letter, from killing the Alterac one 1st, then Dagun 2nd, then the troll in Stranglethorn Vale 3rd, this is how I did it:

Alterac -&nbsp Just went it, killed Ogres to help clannie complete couple quests, then proceeded to kill him and 3 other Ogres at the same time very easy.&nbsp

Dagun - This one I hated.&nbsp We killed 100's of these little freaking Murlocs.&nbsp Killed them all around the alter so we didn't have to clear it afterward.&nbsp We then summoned him, and took the 43 Elite Giant out pretty easy.

Stranglethorn Vale - My clanny left to for life issues, so I started this solo.&nbsp I approached the ruins where he's at, killed a number of trolls leading up to him.&nbsp And then I joined up with a 43 mage to help him get it also.&nbsp We just cleared out everything around him, then took out 44 elite troll and the 2 that is with him.&nbsp

So, I would say that most could solo this at or above 47+ pretty easy, that is for a warrior/pally.&nbsp Don't know about others, because they do good damage.&nbsp So depends on class what you can solo I think, but you never know.&nbsp

The Altar is at 59, 10
This is also where the most Murlocs are found, and it doesnt take long at all to get the kelp.
The Giant is 43 Elite with no special powers.

1. Star of Xil'yeh

He is seen walking around here: <B>http://www.wowlocator.com/Alterac_Mountains/39/53</B>

The mobs are all elite and Grel'borg is a 39 elite.

2. Hand of Dagun

The mirefin murloc mobs are found in those surrounding islands on the east. I killed all the oracles and worked my way up no kelp. On this island: <B>http://www.wowlocator.com/Dustwallow_Marsh/59/9</B> - I found two kelps. >.< The altar is also located there.

Dagun is a 43 elite. The murlocs are not elites.

3. The Legacy Heart

<B>http://www.wowlocator.com/Stranglethorn_Vale/47/43</B>

This is freaking hard. I had a 60 help. He was above a ledge, above the other ruins. Check the area I have dotted. Mogh is a 44 elite. The mobs are 40-44 non elite.

Good luck.

I was absolutely convinced this drop was bugged.&nbsp I was about to abandon the quest and low and behold, it FINALLY dropped.

To put this into perspective, this is what I ended up with when the kelp finally dropped.

- 77 Fish Oils
- 74 Shiny Fish Scales
- 44 Thick Murloc Scales
- 20 Junk vendor items

Took a few hours overall, killing non-stop. (47 Druid)

Anyway, good luck with this one guys.

I had to kill 18 Oracles to get an Enchanted seaweed to drop. I then went to the isle and cleared it back to front - that is i cleared the side Dagun does not come up on first and the side he comes up on last. When he showed up he was a 43 elite and i soloed him with HP to spare as a 47 warrior (no impressive feat there). Thing is, while i was clearin another enchanted sea Kelp dropped and I (of course) could NOT pick it up as it is a unique item - BUT as soon as i popped my kelp on the alter i picked it up for insurance as this was my second go round with Mr Dagun.
As i believe others have said BE CERTAIN to clear the isle of murlocks - especially oracles - before u summon him.

oh - and good luck

Grel'borg the Miser&nbsp (?, ?)&nbsp Alterac Mountains

I started in the Ruins of Alterac,&nbsp Grel'borg the Miser.&nbsp He's RED!&nbsp He moves from the Town Hall to the Castle.&nbsp I finished him off pertty easily.&nbsp When I entered the ruins, I spotted Grel'borg, and aggro'ed, so I watched him walk off.&nbsp I did find him&nbsp just inside the castle door off to the left.

Mogh the Undying&nbsp (48, 44)&nbsp Stangelthorn Vale

Mogh has some body guards and is a little harder to kill.&nbsp A warrior and I fininshed him off and his 2 body guards.&nbsp Not that hard with two people.&nbsp Note: He regens, so unless you can deal out the damage.&nbsp Good luck.

Dagon the Ravenous&nbsp (59, 9)&nbsp Dustwallow Marsh

We got to the island and had to sweep it twice before the "Mirefin Oracle"&nbsp dropped the Kelp that we needed.&nbsp Place the Kelp on the alter and Dagon comes out of the water from the beach.&nbsp Another target that's easy to kill.

Getting the Hand

Go to the island in Dustwallow Marsh 59,9, kill the oracles (it can take some time) and get the enchanted kelp.

Stand near the alter (with a large ball sitting on it), and right click on the enchanted kelp this will cause Dagun the Ravenous to spawn (he is a giant who walks out of the water and is visible from the alter).

Kill Dagun for the hand.

Good luck... and thanks to all contributors above.

Concerning Dagun and the oracles, go North from Theramore along the shore, the first Island off that shore is where I found most oracles (there arent many of them), took me 3 kills to get the Kelp.
The Altar is placed on the northern most island in the map.
Kill all the surrounding Murlocs before summoning Dagun.
Hes 43 elite giant and I was able to kill him as 45 NE Warrior, had to use bandages to kill him though (Slowed him and ran off to heal, since I had no potions=)
Have fun with it!

The two things with this quest that make it difficult is that the drop rate of the oracles is incredibly low. I spent 20 minutes killing them over and over before the kelp finally dropped.

The other thing is that Mogh is surrounded by mobs that i had to pick off one by one until it was down to Mogh, his minion and another headhunter that I couldn't get close enough to kill on his own. Once it was down to those three, I went into Cat form, pounced his little boy and killed him first. With him out of the way, you don't have to worry about Mogh getting healed mid-battle. After that i was able to kill the mob, heal, and then take down Mogh.

grel-Borg is easy, since there are open spots where you can take him w/o worrying about other ogres to jump in.

Orcales that drop kelp are lv37/38, so I suggest farm them when you around lv45, would be good exp/drops.
At lv50 or so it'll be easy to beat all 3 bosses, you can go back to dugun.
If you farm for kelp at lv50, you cannot get exp from kill mirefin oracles.

Mogh the Undying&nbsp (48, 44)&nbsp Stangelthorn Vale
is hardest one.. couldn't solo him at 44 warlock.
He heals his guards too, so eliminating step by step is not possible.

And the ona in murlock isle is most time consuming.. i mean to find thing to activate altar and to get boss appear.

Easiest is boss in alterac mountains.

I soloed this today, but not without problems. After trying two times I re-thought my strategy, and took him down in flames :). I did it like this: Cast sheep on the caster besides him, rapidlay shoot a fireball in Mogh�s face, cast counterspell on him, lock him and the minion in place and continue pounding on Mogh. After a few more seconds he falls to the earth in a burning spectacle leaving his helpless minion behind. Kill him to if u like, or spare him if thats your cup of tea :P
Also advisable is to clean up a bit before you start. Also loc is confirmed at 48, 44.

I�m a 48 mage btw so if you are a bit higher level than 44 it obviosly helpes... Good luck to all :)

(48 Pally)In the middle of this quest took me the better part of an hour to find the Kelp. After that, the giant was easy. In Fact, I had to keep it from running by using Judgment of Justice. Like earlier post, I would say get the kelp in a earlier level and solo the quest about 47+.

Keep on Flyin Mighty Eagleknight!

I used another tactic with my 46 Demonology warlock.

First is the same as what others said, kill all the close trolls.
After that, I let my VW attack his add, the little boy. I only attacked Mogh, curses and SB, then Shadow Ward and Drain Life until he's dead. The boy vanishes after Mogh dies. He only got healed once.

I was grouped up with a couple of people to do this quest on Suramar, and we ganked 4 islands of murlocks (concentrating on the Oracles) over and over and over and over again with no Enchanted Sea Kelp, for about 30 mins. I had run out of time, so we de-grouped, but I killed an oracle on the way off the island with the altar on it and it dropped the Kelp.

That must be some kind of glitch, if you ask me. If you have trouble getting the drop and you are in a group, try de-grouping and killing things solo. Other than that, not a hard quest, just annoying.

All green mobs, so it was pretty relaxed.
