Description

The great archdruid Naralex recently appeared here in the Barrens. He's either behind this mess or trying to fix it. Either way, you should talk with him before this jungle engulfs the whole world! He's in a small tauren camp to the southeast. Along the way, it would be helpful for you to gather plant samples for him to study. The newest flower buds will tell him a great deal about the most recent changes in the jungle.

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.

  • When Plants AttackSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    This camp was built at the edge of this jungle, and already it is overwhelmed by plant growth. Something unnatural is happening here! Earlier I made the mistake of sending some of the healthier refugees out to gather nuts and berries.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Biological InterventionSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    The energies unleashed here have surged through the wildlife, twisting them into powerful and unstable forms. If allowed to spread beyond this grove, these deviates will wreak havoc on the existing ecosystem, devouring local prey and driving out the weaker natural creatures.
