Captain Brandon can be found at 48.8, 78.9 (Just east of the water fields)

Captain Rupert can be found at 58.1, 72.4 (Just northwest of Kolramas)

Captain Grondel can be found at 48.2, 63.9 (Just south of the 'Ring of Blood'-type arena)

Alchemist Finklestein is at 35.0, 52.1 (Between the Alter of Sseratis and Argent Stand, off to the west a bit)

Just do the first quest they give you and you'll receive credit for completing their 'tasks.'

Heres a cheatsheet for Alchemist Finklesteins list. The first part is the initials of the item he wants. the second part is the location in the format (N/S)(Set of shelves going clockwise in the room)(Shelf its on from the bottom)

Example: N1-3 = North room, 1st set of shelves, 3rd shelf from bottom
Example: S3-2 = South room 3rd set of shelves, 2nd shelf from bottom.

There are 3 items that dont have a shelf location. They are large, easily found items described and are in both rooms.

This list heavily favors the south room, going around the room clockwise. If the listing shows the north room ,its doesnt exist in the south room.

Item name (Alphabetical by initials) - Location

A N1-2
AE N1-2
AG S4-2
BC S2-2
CH N1-2
CBC S2-1
CSM S1-2
FSI S3-2
GD N3-1
HHH - Big Boxes
IBW S1-3
K S1-2
MMM - Big bag of grain
PM S1-1
PEE S1-3
PGT S2-1
PPP S2-3
RC S1-3
SG S1-1
SDC N3-2
SSC - Big Barrel
SSE S1-1
T N4-2
WW N1-1
WBW S1-2

Using this list, i was able to complete Pa'Troll in 9 minutes.

Completing this opens the daily quest Troll Patrol.

Comment by Aevitas

Is it just me who laughed at "Patrol" being wrapped in a troll flavour?

Comment by Tabmoc

Completeing this quest in the 20 minute time alotted can be done on an epic ground mount with a few minutes to spare, if you don't stop for anything unnecesary.

After hitting 77 and be able to fly again made this quest a breeze. If you have an epic flyer, and you can do the Alchemist's quest in a few trys max, you'll still have plenty of time to spare. Feel free to mine some nodes and pick some herbs if you have your epic flyer while on this quest.

When completed under 20 minutes, I got no rep from the parts, but I got 350rep when delivering this, and 350 bonus rep since I did it within the timer.

So doing this under 20mins gives 700rep with Argent Crusade.

Do all of these dailies count toward the 100 quests required for the "Empire of Zul'Drak" achievement?

I found that there's a good way to get easy Argent Crusade rep with this quest.
Lab Work is the easiest part once you know what items to go for and can probably be completed in under 2-3 minutes. After completing Lab Work and getting you 250 AC rep, you can abandon Pa'Troll which allows you to do Lab Work again. It's possible to do the other parts of Pa'Troll as well but Lab Work is by far the easiest.
Make sure you don't complete Pa'Troll or you'll be left with the daily version which is much harder and less profitable.
It's possible to get 10000 rep an hour just doing this over and over again and it nets you quite a bit of gold as well.

I'm sorry that I have to ask but is there an achievement bound to this quest? I read that many people want to do it in under 20 minutes.

Comment by 314979

This used to be the quest in which you could get the easy Argent rep right? Where you start the quest, do the tasks for the other guys, and then abandon it and do it again? If so, it doesn't work as of 3.0.8... there is no rep for any of the quests that the other guys have you do.

For anyone wondering yes this can be done pre-flying mount (normal or epic) with minutes to spare.

Put your WoW client in windowed mode, with the reference list on this page handy for the alchemist quest. Know where the quest givers are so you don't waste time looking for them and how to do each quest.

If you stop for nothing and with liberal use of shadowmeld/invisibility/feign death/etc. to break combat and mount up quicker you can make the timer with quite a few minutes left. Good luck.

Update
My previous solution was incorrect.

There is right

Take pa'troll

Do goals of all captain's tasks, except alchemist's quest (don't take it; you can't refresh timer while you have it) but don't complete those quests.
Decline pa'troll, take it again and you will get 20 minutes for alchemist's quest and for completing all 4 tasks.

I love the "Heart of Darkness" reference in this quest.

Of course, the folks at Blizzard have entirely too much fun, sometimes.

LOL

All 4 of the quests can be done in 12 minutes if you're level 80.

Awards 49g 46s (including Congratulations quest and selling the vendor item you get most often for 5g)

Video of a 12 minute run of all 4 dailies here:

There's a bonus if u complete the four/five quests within the time limit, this will grant u the access to the quest "congratulations" which gave me 18g, 16s and an XP bonus 34924 @ lvl 76 and furthermore there's a reputation bonus with the Argent Crusade @ 500 so all in one u'll get rep bonus of 850 if u complete quests in time :) + money and XP ofc

I completed this quest within the time limit by using my flying mount . saves u a lot of fights and time :)

I don't much like the way this humans talking to me...
He's got some pretty tough talk for 11k hp...

Comment by 384138

I don't know if this works, but I have heard of a way to cheat and rep grind quickly for the Argent Crusade.

When you begin this quest go visit all of the crusaders you are supposed to visit. Do all 4 quests then abandon the quest. Supposedly you get Rep (and a little gold) from the 3 captains and the alchemist. So if you keep doing this you can easily rep guide.

Unfortunately I completed this quest before hearing about this little trick. If someone wants to test it please do. I'd rather not give out false information.

Oh? /Decline quest.

Comment by 384138

Well it does work....save for the fact you only get 98 rep points...

Commander Kunz clearly needs his coffee post-haste. Dude's like me in the morning pre-caffeine.

Comment by 625768

It would appear (to me, at least) that the time limit has possibly been nerfed? I remember completing this quest back during WotLK with the time limit constraint. I'm currently working a level 85 towards Loremaster and picked up this quest with no mention of any extra reward or even anything about completing it in a certain amount of time. Not sure if it's just a particular situation with my character or what, but I didn't get any notice of a time limit.

Edit: My mistake, the repeatable quest that unlocks after this quest is completed, https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=12587 is the one with the time limit.
