Afterwards you'll get a letter from [npc=135400], which reads:

Hey [player]. I ran into a little ranishu while I was out walking my cobras. She must love the sound of the flute, she followed us home. Would you be interested in her? I only train cobras.

Same as with te Brutosaur quest chain in Zuldazar (Monstrous Matchmaker), this letter is only to let you know that NPC now sells pets for [item=163036]s

That is every comment on this page.

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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Charming TailVol'dun · Level 30-60

    I think they would make great guardians, when they get older... with the proper training. However, it seems some of my trainees have wandered off. There are so many things nearby that could harm them! Between the walking sandstorms and angry plants...

The storyline at a glance

Feeding the Hungry has 4 steps, from A Lost Flute to My Hungry Neighbor.
