Alright so a fair while back I decided to go through with getting all of these items together after the feet dropped skilling up club near the norg zone in yuhtunga jungle with my gf (40-somethin whm and blm). It all went pretty smoothly... cept this blasted head.
I swear I spend 50+ hours total in SSG trying to get this head, getting help from all sorts of people, and no sight of the head. Only near the end of a run, late into the morning, i declare 'this one is the last one and we're going' and it drops -_-;

So I came back there yesterday to help a friend farm elshimo newts so he could get some goblin drinks brewed to fight the NM in oldton movalpolas. We start killing the sahagins and get 3 heads in 10 minutes >.< WTF.

Anyway, I recommend not starting this quest unless you get the head first, it seems to be the most troublesome piece and the other pieces will clog up your inventory space if it takes you 5 months to complete (like me).

Happy hunting

what these items are for...

I cant see it mentioned here what these items are for, if you want to know...

You have to collect 4 parts of Mermaid items which are dropped off Shahgins. Then take them to a Goblin NPC that pops in Yuhtunga Jungle on WINDSDAY only (He pops at the area where you drop down on way to second jungle and he is hidden behind a rock).

This Goblin then marks on your map Treasure which you should then go and seek - take a pickaxe with you.

The treasure (apparently is random) the sort after item is the "Mermaids Ring" which has emnity 2 for level 43 jobs - I dont know other items...Square being the way they are you could probably end up with fishbones or Kelp for the many hours you have done getting this quest done.

At time I am writing this I was able to get all the parts with Bst/Whm 64 with no problems with exception of Mermaid Head which after 250+ kills - still no sight of it.

grrrrrrrrrrrr

People seem to think this one is hard?Im pretty sure they are all equal except the NM ...I truthfully took a lot longer to find the hands than the head

i came here to camp for blacked toad (coz no one selling it on AH) and trying to get the map. I saw another lady fighting and later learned that she's camping for this mermaid head. Right after I asked her, it just dropped to me. So, to make her feel better, I kept quiet ...
Anyway, what's this head for? a quest?

this piece sux

im 3/3 on mermaid ring quest, this is the piece that takes time. im 61 thf and can get the other pieces very easily, the NM probly being the easiest(nobody camps it, and its 100%)

this piece has taken many many hours the first and third times ive collected mermaid pieces. the second time it dropped while i was soloing 1500 exp to ding 61..so i then went and got the other pieces pretty quick.

To any who have doubts that Brook Sahagin drop the Mermaid Head, they do. the ones behind silver door and past silver door all drop it. ive checked probably 4 times on forums the first time i was attempting to get it, because it took so long i never believed anyone until i saw it hehe.

I was hoping to find out what this thing was for, but I guess the search continues...

I just arived to the area near the silver door as bst to lvl up, and this fell on the first mob I killed (Brook Sahagin).

If someone knows what it's used for, please, send me an e-mail if you would.

Thanks

Rare drop, Pffffft

It would be a rare drop if it ever dropped at all.

The brook sahagin's must not be able to find any mermaids to kill and dismember.

I've killed them in the pond room, the room before the silver door, the pathways after the silver door, and the circle room with the chest spawn in back.

Did this drop get changed during one of the updates?

It really is a rare drop. ~_~;; I got the Body while camping the Holy Ampulla NM, so I decided to try for the rest of the pieces. Hands dropped pretty quick, and the Tail dropped the first time I killed the NM, but I've killed a ton of Brooks and no Head. I've gotten 2 pearls, over a stack of stolen Mythril Beastcoins, about a billion seashells, a Sheep Leather Missive, 2 Eastern Gems, a Shall Shell, 2 Elshimo Toads, several Elshimo Newts, a Blackened Toad, 3 Grotto Chest Keys, but no freaking Mermaid Head!! >_<;;
Useage?

This is the second time I do this quest, and first time i spent like 45 minutes on these guys, and the head is the only thing im missing now for the 2nd try! Didnt get ring on first try >.<, and they r going for 550k on Garuda!
BST 43-45

Got myself one of them after about killing ~40 Sahagins or so. No sign of what to do with it though. Easy to pick it up by leveling BST from 43-45 on the sahagins and bigclaws.
um...
