Item that gives quest giver - Oronok's Boar Whistle: http://www.wowhead.com/item=30462

It is a prerequisite for attunement to The Eye in Tempest Keep and Mount Hyjal.

Problems with the quest:
1) There are too few Fel Boars around.
2) All the Fel Boars are stacked in one place
3) Upon using Oronok's Boar Whistle, boars becomes hostile and starts attacking. They do not dig up Tubers.

How it should work:
1) Fel Boars should be scattered all over the ridge. They should be attacked by Flayers that are present there.
2) They should dig up Tubers when whistle is blown. Additionally - if there are multiple boars nearby, all should come and dig it up, resulting in several quest items (Tubers).
3) Boars should not dig tubers if they are agroed (if used whistle while being in combat with them). Once agro is dropped - it should dig.

To replicate:
One needs to complete previous quests and take this one (I was a lot of things) and head to the place where boars are

Screenshot showing 3 things: these are all boars that can be found around; they agro upon whistling; Shadowmoon Tuber tuber tooltip and how the Tuber looks. http://i39.tinypic.com/a5gcxv.jpg

Quote from wowhead comments:
In order to loot a Shadowmoon Tuber you first have to find a Shadowmoon Tuber Mound, a tooltip will pop up when you hover over it, then you have to use Oronok's Boar Whistle when a boar is nearby and the boar will come dig up the tuber, then a lootable Shadowmoon Tuber appears and you loot the tuber from that.

The only real difficulty in this is finding a spawn that is near a felboar, and also keeping the felboars alive because the Ravenous Flayers all around the are are constantly killing the boars.

Note: aggroing one of the felboars to make it follow you and then using the whistle while standing on a tuber, Does NOT work, just means you have to kill the felboar, which is pointless.
