What to do

StorylineBorean Tundra, step 6 of 182
RewardsSuper Rejuvenation Potion, 3,100 XP

Description

You there! Please, I need your help. This soldier will succumb to the cryptfiends' venom unless we act immediately. I've managed to slow down the poison, but without a suitable supply of antidote I cannot counteract it. I was promised a new shipment of anti-venom in the Stormbreaker's most recent trip from the south. Go inside its hold and search for a chest of first aid supplies. Hurry, {class}! We can't afford to lose any more men unnecessarily.

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.

  • Plug the SinkholesBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    The Scourge are showing no sign of letting up, <name>. It's those blasted sinkholes; they connect to tunnels all the way to Icecrown for all we know. Giant undead worms burrow under the ground to create them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cultists Among UsBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    This altar bears all the markings of the Cult of the Damned. It appears fanatics from the mainland have made it into Northrend. It might be prudent to notify the captain of the ship. Perhaps he is to be found above deck.
