Drops from the optional boss Gahz'Rankha in Zul'Gurub. While using Poly: Turtle doesn't have any strategic advantages over Pig and Sheep, it's very rare and can help to distinguish multiple CC targets in areas where more than 1-2 sheeps are needed. Plus the turtle is my personal favorite being a mage~

Happy hunting!

Commento di starkill

tome of polymorph turtle dosent help you in the battlefield but like sheep and pig its just a fun thing to get. and if you have two diffrent mages one can use sheep and the other can us turtle seperating them so you know which one to keep polymorphing

Commento di Chachee

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, and it's even more incentive to get your own turtle poly: Turtle Polymorph spell randomly creates 1 of 3 differently colored turtles.

There's a green skinned + tan shelled variety (similar to the Speedy pet), there's a red-skinned + brownish shelled one (like Cranky Benj), and then there's my favorite which is sort of like a sea-turtle with a bluish-green color (same model, only colors are different).

This is an extremely in demand item, especially on high pop servers like mine. Expect to pay 4000g+.

Commento di tlanwarrior

Sold for 2kg after about 5 minutes. I had a druid trying to tell me its worth 40g, and that hes a "Exalted ZG Warrior". If this was true, I dunno. Don't give this for less then 500g. You can make a hell of a profit off this thing.

I also did this with a feral druid, and myself (I'm a Resto Shaman, fully epic, in Kara gear, while my Girlfriend (The Feral Druid) is in a few Kara epics). It was easy and took maybe 20 minutes total to kill the boss, maybe 30+ min for the fishing though.

This item can go for 5000gold (atleast 3000 and its sold) on Stormscale EU :)

Commento di Kaigami

I've sold this reliably the past 5 times its dropped on Draenor-EU for at least 4k every time (first time it went for 6k)

In these last legs of TBC, gold is easy to come by, and this sells very easily, and very quickly.

Commento di Healingproof

Haha, I got it for 500 g from AH. Am i lucky or has the price really sunk that much since WotLK?

Commento di 50304

I found that animals that are already turtles are actually immune to this Polymorph...including hunters pets when they are turtles.

Commento di Felicitas66

Just now, playing in live v. 4.3.13329 with ZG gone from the game but with Wowhead not having updated that Tome of Polymorph: Turtle is available from any other source than this boss in ZG, my husband got it just randomly fishing. He was in Twilight Highlands but I don't suppose that really matters because I am assuming this has become a random world drop now.

Commento di 724426

I fished up this tome today in a pool of fish in the Twilight Highlands. That means fishing is one way to get it, although I don't know if it's the only way.

This item now appears to drop from fishing.

I got one fishing from a school of Albino Cavefish in Deepholm. Unsure of whether it is fished out of schools only, or can drop from fishing anywhere in the Cataclysm zones.

I apologize if this is redundant information!

El has a awesome page on this topic, where it can be fished, etc. But it seems like these are only caught out of pools, not in open water, much like the Sea Turtle

EDIT: URL didn't come across, http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/tome_of_polymorph_turtle.html

Commento di youf133

I managed to fish this up from a Fathom Eel pool in Tol Barad Peninsula while doing my dailies. It really surprised me considering how much question there was regarding whether this would exist after 4.1 hit and Zul Gurub went from raid to 5-man. I already had bought one on the AH after 4.1 and paid quite a bit for it just so I had some variety in my Polymorphs. Now I'm just wondering if I should sell it now and get some money back or hold on to it in case it "leaves" again and then sell it for a fortune?

Commento di 854908

I fished one up in a Highland Guppy fishing swirl in Twilight Highlands. I was only skill level 190 when this occured and I was wearing only a fishing hat, a strong fishing pole, and no lure.

Commento di Andygorus

For those of you who found this during Cataclysm and didn't specify,
What class are you?

I'm just wondering if I should fish with my mage, who's a noob, or my non-mage, awesome fisherman.

Commento di Bsmx93

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this... but the sound effect of the spell is extremely... strange. It sounds like someone gurgling into the mic.

Commento di Thottbot

We have now a sheep, a turtle and a pig... Where is the rat?

We had the childrens week (as usuall) this year to. If you've done all the quests there you got to choose between a pet turle, pig or rat... The rat is the only one wich is missing now. :D Where is it? :D

Commento di Thottbot

To summon this boss you first must pick up Nat paggle's measuring tape in ZG. There is a fishing spot with some broken bottles etc... there should be a lootable item on the ground.

After delivering the tape to Nat on his small island in Dustwallow Marsh (loc 60, 60) he'll teach you how to summon the boss. The tome is a random drop from it though.

Commento di Thottbot

Since the patch came out, we've downed Gahz'ranka 4 times, and this has dropped every time.

Just done it there easy. First attempt was just me (Holy Priest) and a Tankybear druid (both 70) The 2 of us got him down to 25% before i was sodomized =( Round 2 we done him with a rogue and boomkin...downed easy but no book =(

Commento di Thottbot

no one goes ZG any more right after TBC i mean ?

Commento di Thottbot

Pain in the *** to get enough folks together to kill this mob especially since loot only benefits mage. Pain in the *** to get all the fishing quest requirements to kill this mob. Then finally killed fish boss TWO times on two different days and turtle did not drop either time. Only trash loot which we disenchanted. Not surprisingly friends not too crazy to try this again.

Commento di Thottbot

This turtle looks WAAAAY too happy...especially considering he's probably about to be frozen or set on fire.

Commento di Thottbot

First time this dropped, it was rightfully given to the mage that summoned the boss for us during one of our guild's retro raid weekends. After that, I got a bee in my bonnet about wanting to have it for my mage as well.

I painstakingly levelled my hunter's fishing up to the bare minimum of 250, and armed with a stack of fishing lures and three friends from my guild, we began the task of farming for it whenever we were bored and people felt like trekking out to STV. We'd skip everything else by just hopping into the water and swimming to Pagle's Point, killing fish along the way.

Took about five tries spread out over a few weeks, and refining the art of pet-tanking the boss, but the book finally dropped last night and my mage is now a happy turtle-maker :) Thanks Orlene, Khani, and Bulli, for all of your help!

Commento di Thottbot

BAM! Too many years wanting this and finally got it and found people willing to... just lie to everyone and say you want to farm for the raptor mount and tiger mount then be like...oh since we are here I have this lure set to go.

THE MIKEMAN DUMMYS THE GAHZ'MAN.
Loots Tome of Polymorph: Turtman. Attempt one.
Thanks to Anthman, Deploy and Savij (Shattered Halls)

This quest is peanuts. The boss is peanuts. Just have someone to hold aggro, someone to heal, and someone to smash his face.

He doesn't cast any magic attacks, so mages should Amplify Magic on the whole party.

-----------

To start quest to summon Gahz'Rilla:

- Enter ZG, you can go alone.
- Swim around the main temple in the middle (where Hakkar is), to the NW corner: "Pagle's Point"
- Loot a chest there to get Nat Pagle's Measuring Tape.
- Bring it to Pagle in Theramore, get the follow up and buy the item he now sells.
- Go back to ZG, fish 5 of the fish he asks for from the Churning Muddy Waters around where you swam the first time.
- Get your group of 3+ 70s together
- Go to Pagle's point again, summon him.
- Dummy him.
- Loot the ToP: Turtman.

------------

Commento di Thottbot

um just got this on my warrior and sold it for 2k. It was an easy fight that took 3 min with 3 freinds and me. theres nothing at all hard I just recomend u clear the 5 fish in water and fight the boss there.I am a warrior with mostly blues and few kara peaces and he only hit me for 500. Even our healer wasnt well geared for it but at 70 any healing class will do fine no matter the spec. I recomend u get a small group and farm this guy. this was our first try and I made a great profit for what took me a 3-4 hours of work to get the quest an lv up fishing. now all that has to be done is spend 5 min a week seeing if we get lucky and hopefully everyone that helped will get 1.

Commento di Thottbot

For the last 3 days, I have gotten my mages fishing up to 300 and 2 maned ZG (me and holy pally) for the tape and 9 Mudskunks, i would run into a mob of Gators and the pally would heal me as I AoE'd them down, then fished for my prize, the next day, I got a raid together to down the badass "Fish Boss"! he dropped nothing but a polearm and some #$%^ greens :( better luck next time! (I hope)

Commento di Thottbot

If you learn this will you always polymorph people into turtles or can you choose to polymorph them into a turtle or sheep?

Commento di Thottbot

Alright, so here's my guide to getting the Tome of Polymorph: Turtle.

I am a 70 mage named Starstrike on the Rexxar server if you have any questions.

You're Objective: Go to ZG, summon Gahz'ranka, kill Gahz'ranka, claim your prize Tome of Polymorph: Turtle. Keep in mind that the Tome has a chance to drop and isn't guaranteed to drop every time. I've killed this boss twice now and still haven't recieved the drop, hopefully next time though.

Location: ZG <Zul'Gurub> This is a pre BC raid instance located in eastern Stranglethorn Vale.

Gahz'ranka: This is the "fish" boss in ZG. You can summon this boss at Paggle's Point in ZG. It looks much like a hydra and the only really annoying thing about this fight is when he tosses you into the air and when he drops aggro.

How to summon: The only way to fight this boss is to summon him. How you do that is with a special fishing lure that you can obtain by first getting the quest from ZG. So you can either do the quest for the lore or take the easy way and find someone else who has the lure and beg them to come with you to summon the boss. So anywho back to the longer way. When you accept the quest you will be given a measuring tape that you will need to take back to Nat Paggle (this npc is located in Dustwallow marsh. The easiest way to get to him is my jumping off the southwest end of the theremore docks and continue swimming southwest, or just look up his name on thottbot to find the exact location.) Once you turn in the quest you can buy the lures from him for 1g a piece. Buy a couple lores so that if one doesn't work you have a backup. Now comes the even more complicated part, you need 5 zulian mudskunks (fish from ZG) to use the lure. So you need to know fishing.

Fishing 101: Fishing can be a pretty annoying secondary profession that will require a lot of patience, it will probably take you a couple days to get your fishing skill up to where you'll need to be to fish in ZG. So start learning fishing. Once you get your fishing maxed you'll need a book to continue learing up till 225 (you get this book from the fishing supplies at booty bay.) Then get your fishing to 225. Once max'd there you'll need to go back to Nat Paggle in DWM to learn artisan fishing. He will give you a quest to fish up some rare fish. complete that part and you'll be able to fish up to 300. Which means that as long as you either have 300 fishing or a skill+lure that equals 300 fishing you can begin fishing in ZG, however it can still be difficult to fish as you'll recieve a lot of "your fish got away" messages that will drive you crazy. (Reminder: even if you are using a lure you can only obtain a skill that is up to your max....ie: if you have a 225/300 fishing skill if you add a +100 lure your skill will still only be 300/300.) So to make it easier I decided to go up to master fishing which means you need to get your fishing up to 275 then you can use a book to learn 300+ fishing (you get this book from the Fishing trainer in Zangarmarsh.) Now you can use a lore and have a max of 375 fishing which makes fishing in ZG so much easier.

ZG fishing: then you go fishing in ZG. Look for the fish pools (says muddy water or something like that when you scroll over it.) All you do is make sure you're lure is in those pools an you'll get Zulian Mudskunks. (note: once again watch for crocolisk and frenzy fish while fishing as they will attack you and are hard to solo. Also I recomend bringing elixirs of waterwalking with you to make it easier to fish since you can stand on the water and avoid the crocolisk then.) Once you get 5 of them you can finally summon Gahz'ranka.

Summoning the Big One: I found that it's really easy to down this boss with 3 70's (a tank, dps-probably the mage, and a healer.) All you do is swim back to Paggle's Point in ZG and use your lure and Gahz'ranka will appear out of the water, then just fight, kill, & loot and hopefully the Tome will drop for you.

Tome of Polymorph: turtle: This is a spell that turns your polymorphed target into a turtle. Yes you can still use any of your other polymorphs at will (pig or sheep.)

Polymorph: Penguin: Apparently there is also gonna be an inscription in WotLK that will allow you to polymorph things into penguins!

Hope this guide helps some, best of luck to everyone who is trying to get this tome!

Spells sold to mages on the AH:
Tome of Polymorph: Turtle (5000G on my server)
Conjure Food rank 8 (240G on my server)
Conjure Warer rank 9 (300G on my server)

For a mage to learn Ritual of Refreshment to give all those beggers in BG their food/water, we need the max ranks of food/water which is a total of about 500G.
I don't give tables unless someone in the BG pays me.

Don't ask a mage for his/her services without a proper 'please' and 'thank you'.
We have to pay for those spells and the reagents so we expect manors at the least.

Me and my guildies farmed this for our mages for a few weeks, I got one :) Then got another a few runs later so gave it to my best mage friend :D

3. 2 Mannable, but realistacly bring 3-5.

4. @#$%ty drop rate, so GL or come buy one from me on Dethroc Horde Side.

I saw it drop and won the roll on it on our first ZG raid ever! Is it really a 4% drop? If so, then I was super lucky indeed.

Something that I don't see mentioned anywhere is that there are 3 different turtles you can polymorph into. You can get a normal-looking green turtle, red turtle with a black shell, and a black turtle with a black shell as well - seemingly random with a 1/3 chance each. It's also a lot bigger than a Pig or Sheep, so(hopefully) less likely to be broken on accident by inattentive players.
