So, taking everything everyone has reported, and consolidating with my own observances after doing this a few times now, I think I know how this works. There are 9 barracuda spawn points. 7 around the Veksar structure and 2 in the shallows at the south end of the lake. The north spawn is always a stuffed barracuda and is for something else. The NE, NW, E and S spawns as well as the SE shallows spawns is a 30 second respawn. I have never seen a tainted at these locations. The SW, SE and southern shallow spawn are all a 5 minute respawn, and I have seen a tainted at all of these locations. The one location mentioned below of -1351, -761 is one of those 3. For each of those three spawns you can get either a deepwater barracuda, a bloodgill barracuda, a tainted barracuda (lvl 36ish) or a tainted barracuda (lvl 45ish). I can confirm the info that the level 45ish tainted is the only one that will produce a corrupted. Of the 3 times I got a corrupted, 2 were at the southern shallow spawn point, and I think one was at the SE spawn point (that one was years ago).
Locs for the 5 minute spawn locations:
SE -908, -832
SW -825, 137
Southern Shallows -1351, -761

Definitely do not waste time killing the 30-sec PHer deepwater barracuda mobs - but move between the exact 3 PHers mentioned here. Having done this epic twice recently for two different druids, both times the level 46 tainted barracuda spawned in the SW loc. for me. I followed the main writeup on the Druid 1.0 page and that walkthrough says to kill barracudas in the lake at -900, -835 until you spawn a tainted barracuda. But after 70 parsed barracuda kills earlier today with no tainted pop - that is incorrect. Only the 3 five-minute-spawn Pher mobs spawn the proper higher-level 46 tainted barracuda, which immediately pops the "corrupted barracuda" with the druid epic drop. Many thanks to previous posters here for sharing this info!
The advice about camping that one spot is sound. I wasted an hour killing every 'cuda and had no luck. Camped that one spot while working on another computer and got the tainted/corrupted to spawn by the 6th or so pop.
Placeholder repop timer is 5 mins.
Note to admin: you don't have tainted barracuda on the list of mobs in the druid epic entry.

Spent several hours camping this and believe there is a single PH that will spawn the correct tainted barracuda. I killed about 10 tainted barracudas in the 30s and had zero corrupted spawns, however the first level 46 tainted I saw spawned the corrupted
The location of the PH for the higher level tainted is -1351, -761 (this LOC was from the P99 wiki but it is accurate for my experience on Coirnav). It is a little way away from the underwater dome and in more shallow waters. After killing hundreds around the whole lake, I gave up on that and just sat on this single spawn and had the corrupted in about 45 minutes.

Same situation - spent a long time killing all the barracudas. After awhile I decided to try this. Took a couple hours, got one lower level tainted and then the higher level a bit later.

I swam around for a long time killing each fish one by one. NO WAY. they respawn in like 30 seconds. I marked them all on map, and am testing which ones spawn the tainted faster, gonna take alot of testing to prove but.

Theres 6 spawn points I find for barracudas. I marked them on map using track. Now to get my tainted.
The Tainted Barracuda that spawns the corrupted is level 45 or 46 (was yellow to me at 44) as opposed to the fake tainted which are level 36 as shown above.
Soloed it fairly easily at 44, just took a little while root/dotting with weak dots to conserve mana for Corrupted (only 183 wis - this is on Mac server which stops at PoP so no uber defiant stuff that you PC druids will have). Used a mixture of fear and root to control him as he broke root fairly frequently but didn't resist fear at all.

I wanted to clear some wring rumours upon him and being part of the DRU-Epic 1.0.
1.) Yes ... there are 2 forms of the tainted. As I killed both, I just can tell, that I didnt find any visible differences. I just can say, that the one that had been stronger spawned the corrupted .. but as I cant give you a lvl conform, its hard to difference him upon that. If he doesnt spawn the corruped .. dont be sad .. go on for it!
So upon that - the tainted has no static lvl ... he has a lvl-range!
2.) It has NOTHING to do with the ominous loc. of -900, -900. The one that spawned the corrupted for me had been a few hundret meters away. So just go on killing every deepwater barracuda in your location. Tainted can spawn on each of these locations. And any of them can spawn he corrputed.
