Description

I followed de Void pollution trail upriver and spotted a beast before it ran off to its cave: an enormous, void-addled crab. It was shedding those shards dat were polluting de river! As long as dis beast lives, it'll keep spreading pollution and infecting crabs with de Void. It must be stopped! I'd stay and fight, but I must warn everyone at de Overlook. Please, {name}. Slay dat crab and remove de source of its corruption before it can hurt more of my people!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Caging CrawlersZul'Aman · Level 83-88

    Our traps being mucked up with de Void would explain why we've been catching fewer crabs! And why some of de crabs have made our people sick. Please clean our traps upriver! Based on Nak'tek's report, de infected crabs sound dangerous... so be careful approaching those traps.
