Troll Patrol: Whatdya Want, a Medal?

Quest Giver: Captain Grondel — Drak’Agal, Zul’Drak [48, 64]

Objective: Gather 7 Drakkari Medallions from Drakkari Corpses in the shallow water near the Coliseum.

Walkthrough

• Head into the waterlogged area northwest of Grondel. The Drakkari Corpses are scattered across the shallow water around [43, 59].
• Right-click each corpse to collect a medallion. There’s a short channel time, and the medallion may take a few seconds to appear in your inventory after clicking. You don’t need to wait for it; move on to the next corpse immediately.
• Corpses can be partially submerged and hard to spot. A targeting macro helps:

• You can interact with corpses while in combat. If a Mossy Rampager or Lurking Basilisk aggros you, kite it to the next corpse rather than stopping to fight. Only engage if you get Dazed.
• After completing, Grondel directs you to Alchemist Finklestein to the west.

Efficiency Tips

• Remount immediately after clicking. You can start casting your mount the instant after clicking a corpse, even while the corpse is still “targeting” you to register the loot. The medallions aren’t looted through a traditional loot window, so you don’t need to stay dismounted.
• Paladins: Use Sense Undead to see corpses as green dots on your minimap.
• Avoid the deeper water pockets that force you to swim. Most corpses are in shallow, wadeable water.
• This is generally the fastest of Grondel’s three possible tasks since corpses are plentiful and no combat is required.

Easter Egg

• The quest title and Grondel’s gruff military persona are a reference to the TV series M*A*S*H. It is from the “April Fools” episode, where a hard-nosed colonel sarcastically asks a doctor who just saved a life, “Whatdya want, a medal?”
