Drop rate ain't too bad. Killed 34 to get my 12.

Comment by 13910

You get the quest from Mudcrush Durtfeet at 34,38(A bit south of Brackenwall)
You can find a small tribe of the murlocs at 56,22 but there's a much larger bunch on this peninsula at 58,15.

The drop rate isn't that great. I'm a frost mage and I've been AOE'ing these guys for a bit. I'm at 7/12 now with about 30 kills. However, the money isn't horrible and you can get some greys and cloth drops.

For my level 37 Shaman, the droprate wasn't that bad at all. It wasn't 1:1, but at least one out of every five or six would drop a head.

There's a nice little group of murlocs a smidge Northwest of "Swamp Eye" Jarl. They walk around a lot but they're spread out. They also respawn very quickly so you never have to pick off the tethered ones nearest the huts. I didn't notice if the head dropped faster from one kind of murloc than another.

57, 21 Only problem about this place is that you can aggro more than one (2-3) Since they're so close together.

As a Warlock, Im glad I have my Voidwalker to take *most* of the hits, I tank the other 2 while he takes on two. Oh, make sure you use Curse of Recklessness too, these guys run around and aggro the rest of the mobs. =_=

Ok I finaly figured this quest out. The orge wants fish.. don't sit and fish like I did at first. The fish are a drop off of the murlocks NE of quest giver at tloc 36,38 level 35 - 36 or if you want the safe way go to the beach. I did it at level 34 and the murlocs ( on beach / islands just off beach ) are levels 36-38. Take a friend or go slow. Took me about 1 hour in travel and kill time Exp was 2800. If you need any extra info message me on medivh server "mysticalmage"

I found the Mirefin at 61,20 drop Mirefin Heads every time. outskirt of island is level 36. a couple of 38 in the center. Be Hungry no more

Comment by Thottbot

The ones at the location right above this definitely do not drop every time, not even close.

Comment by Thottbot

There is a small murloc village north of the house where the guy asks you to find 40 spider eyes. The drop rate is 20% there, all other murlocs in the region have an 8% drop rate (check the thottbot stats).

With only 20% (or less) murlocs having heads it's no wonder neither the hoarde or the alliance recruited them... ;-)

Comment by Thottbot

55.20 are there a camp they drop heads

Comment by Thottbot

Found mine on the island off the east coast the centre of which is 62.18, had to kill 18 to get the 12 heads not a bad rate, the average lvl was 37-38, i was a lvl 39 pala so it was a doddle, which was good coz i cant use a ranged weap so i cant pull.

Comment by Thottbot

just north of Swamp Eye Jarl house. At 57,22: there is a camp of mirefin murlocks drop rate was very high for me

Comment by Thottbot

Yes, it IS amazing. I usually just click on "Map" link next to quest giver name (usually starts or ends in quest description). And what a surprise, it shows a coords and even position on map.

Comment by Thottbot

Bear in mind that the drop rate stats on Thottbot include people who may not have the quest. If you don't have the quest, or you are done with the quest but stick around grinding murlocs for some reason (maybe because you like their death chortles?), that reduces the drop rate-- more kills, but no drops, rate goes down.

Comment by Thottbot

coord for Mud are 35, 38

Comment by Thottbot

57, 20

Lvl ranges from 35-38, pretty simple and straight forward Solo'd at lvl 40, just watch out for aggro.

Comment by Thottbot

57,20 I got a 40-50% drop rate, as well as some good $ from pick pocketing and upped my lockpicking a bit more too :D

Comment by Thottbot

I soloed this at lvl 36, had to kill a load to get the heads but i got a nice blue drop on the second island if you're coming along the coast from theramore.

Comment by Thottbot

I was on the shore waiting, taking a look at the murlocks...suddenly: "Entering Combat". "- What was that?" I thought millions of things: allys, murlocks under the water, tortoises...but no. It was a Coral Shark level 46 Elite. If I had entered the water, I would have been killed. So watch out before entering.

Comment by Thottbot

Solo'd as a 34 Warlock, VW Pet. One at a time, tloc 58,18. Took off singles from the two camps around that area. Made massive exp ^^

Comment by Thottbot

I tried killing every type of murloc for quite some time. There is no way the drop rate was higher than 10% from any of them. It was rather frustrating. Eventually, I decided it wasn't worth it.

Comment by Thottbot

up in the scattered islands to the north east there just so happens to be a lage amount of murlocks. the ones u also need for the quest "the star, the hand and the heart. probaly about a 75%drop rate on the murlock soldiers.

Comment by Thottbot

Go to the island from previous posts. about 1/3 to 1/2 of the mirefin drop the quest item.

Comment by Thottbot

Rather low drop rate if you ask me. I did it on level 36 with my Draenei Shaman and it took me about an hour..

Comment by Thottbot

Check the screen shot, a good place but watch out for the mobs if your lower level or soloing. Also there are a bunch of mudrock turtles there, (although the drop rate for scales sucked).

Location 54,15 on the coast.

Comment by Thottbot

Start is 35,38

Comment by Thottbot

Camp at 56, 22 just NE of where u get quest has a ton of level 35ish mirefins. drop rate is about 1 in 4.

careful not to aggro too many

solod as a 38 shadow priest.

Comment by Allakhazam

The Murlocs that drop these mirefins can be found behind/above the Swamplight Manor to the east of the map. Hope this easy explanation can help :)

Comment by Allakhazam

Anyone know where to find the Heads?

Comment by Allakhazam

Island @ 64,28 gave a good drop rate

Comment by Allakhazam

The best place to get is the top northeast part of the map..... 3 camps of the little morlocks or whatever they are called the second one is a good place with great drop rates and a chest in the little village.

Comment by Allakhazam

A small pond and camp at 56, 22 was a marvelous place to be during this quest. On your map, it will look like a tiny pond, just north of Jarl, on Witch Hill.

The spawn rate is great, and two people could easily grind here with little to no conflict.

The Mulocs here gave me a drop rate of about 1:5.

I finished with all 12 heads within 25 minutes.

Comment by Allakhazam

I cannot find Mudcrush. I have tried to track him and to no avail. If anyone can help please do.

Comment by Allakhazam

the mirefins (murlocs) on the island at loc 62, 19, drop the heads at a rate of about one every 3-4 kills.

Comment by Allakhazam

But what if you don't have Cosmos? Then where is he? XD

Same place but without the Co-ords :-)

Comment by Allakhazam

Take the road towards Barrens. You will find the ruins of the Shady Rest Inn ahead of you on the left, and a road to your right. Take the road to the right, which moves north. Follow the road, which turns into a dirt path.

Comment by Allakhazam

The post by HelloSonya below was spot on and if anything, understated just how thickly populated this small area (56.22) is with Murlocs. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. I went late at night so there had been virtually no thinning of the herd and since I had missed everything but the Tabetha quest in Dustwallow, my 42 Lock was catching up on some of the lower level quests as well as the +40 quests out of Brackenwall. My character was a bit over-powered for this quest, but in a way, it was all for the best.

Take the road north from Brackenwall to get to this location unless you want to get all turned around and unnecessarily bitten and snapped at all the way through the swamp. You will have to pass a couple of small enemy camps along the road which are easy to bypass and fun to wipe out too. After that the road makes a big loop when it goes by North Point tower. That's a quest you can combine this quest with, which comes from a stranded sailor in Brackenwall. You can rescue a woman and retrieve the sailor's lost cargo on the way to the Murlocs for a quick two quests.

I hate Murlocs, so slaughtering them was a lot of fun, but things can easily get out of control since they're so concentrated in such a small area. My minion and I were taking them on in pairs and threes but then I started losing control of them and runners were getting away and my Voidwalker was bringing half the village down on us by chasing them down for the kill. We were knee deep in murlocs and within a hair's breadth of getting wiped out a couple of times, so my advice is to take it easy and play the edges because, as most of you know, murlocs are runners and are good at coming to the aid of their buddies.

Murlock camp

56,22

Comment by Isilien

There is really no need to do it in the large murloc camp like a lot of the old comments are suggesting. Go to the offshore islands. The murlocs there are far more spread out and can be easily pulled singly.

Comment by geekygirlish

I camped the pool behind Witch Hill, just north of Swamp Eye Jarl house at 57,22 Easy to cull the herd without pulling them all. The drop rate was abysmal, I almost went thru a full 14 slot quiver of arrows, I was down to my last stack. Being on my own I also made sure I killed the beasts around the area that I had to kite into their territory. Made good XP, some money, and a wonderful new bow dropped! Also have your cooking up to date, esp roast raptor and spider sausages. You can run down to Jarl's house and make food when your bag gets too full. Oh and take some soothing spice so you can complete the q with him while you are there.

Comment by LaffiBoozegnome

Finished in ca. 5 minutes at coordinates 64.27. The droprate was almost 100% on the Mirefin Muckdwellers and Mirefin Warriors. A bit less on the Mirefin Oracle (don't go for them).

Comment by luciussuberbus

Basically a 5% drop rate. Typical for the game it seems.

Comment by madmurdock

The murlocs are popular mobs for mages who want to aoe level. A good spot to not be annyoed by them is 63.3, 17.7 . This mini isle does host casters, so they dont work with mages at all and its usually empty there.
