you're right....one Oracle in 1 zillion inkspewers/flesheaters.

The second to the last part of the "Threat from the Sea" quest requires you to kill 10 of these guys. I've only found one by the sunken ship on the coast. There is a decent concentration inside the cave, but the cave is tough to handle alone and I saw a level 50 cruising around in there as as a mixed in member of the Murloc possie.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Cheers!

These are an absolute joke, however, did manager to find one on its own furth up the coast to the north. Think it's around the 'shack' thing with no mobs. You have to swim out in the sea & look under the water! Only managed to find it in druid cat form with 'track humanoids' on. It's not much help but should cut down the time it takes & at least it's on its own!

If you can handle the cave, it's by far the easiest way to find these buggers. A couple of laps and you should have your ten.

There's a sunken ship down in a "crater" at the very eastern edge of the map - just south of a line drawn to the east edge from Fallow Sanctuary. Around the rim of the crater, and down on the sunken ship, are about 9 spots that spawn Marsh Oracles and Marsh Flesheaters only. Just a couple loops around and I got all 10. You'll need some sort of underwater breathing, of course.

The user above is correct the best place is the underwater area with the ship. The coords are 97,26 roughly (tita coords) I cleared the cave and there was only 2 or 3 in there and the beach is a joke. I gave up on the beach and started swimming aimlessly and found this. Then thought to check thott and saw it was posted ><

That is the only way to describe this quest. Whilst the mobs are pretty easy to kill, the lack of oracles means that you are going to have to kill a lot of unnecessary mobs in the hopes that they will respawn as oracles. With the amount of killing in this kill-quest, it feels more like a drop quest, which most of us dislike. ^^

As for the method I used, I just went around the aforementioned ship a few times killing everything. Every set of respawns usually yields 1 or 2 Oracles, however they are all capable of becoming oracles. Anyway, doing this it took me half an hour to kill the oracles and flesheaters. After that, the ink guys are a snap - they're all over the coast.

Just found loads of the inside the cave at 66,77. I suggest you start the quest Continued Threat and head there immediatly, as there are a dozen Inkspewers and Flesheaters before you find the Oracles.

Found most of the oracles at 94,21 around a sunken boat, there are lvl 45, with flesheaster.

To anyone else having trouble with these, here's what I found.

When you get the quest to kill these, if you hit the beach and head north (killing ink spewers & flesh eaters)a bit. On the map above, the middle group of dots for locations, there are two camps. Each camp has two little huts in it and one of them also has a large, empty turtle shell marking it. Around the small huts you will find Flesh Eaters and the Oracles. Usually it's 1 Oracle, 1 Flesh Eater per camp at the huts, and Jarquia also has a chance to spawn at these two locations.
Problem I had, is on top of the already scarce spawn, half the Oracles I was killing were re-spawning as Flesh Eaters.
Did this quest at 44, mobs were all yellow to me as well as the quest. Was pretty easy to just run back and forth and clear both camps. At the two small huts in either camps, you will get re-spawns of either Flesh Eaters or Oracles, and if your lucky sometimes two Oracles. Knocked this out in about a half hour, hit 45 (being about 4 or 5 bars away when I started) and got a Grim Reaper.

Also, this can be done at the location that Tinbar mentions, at the sunken ship. His loc is correct, I verified, but for those without co'ords it's smack dab in the middle of the northern-most gaggle of dots on the map above!

Hope this was of some help as this personally drove me bonkers.
