A Tailor-Made Formula

A Tailor-Made Formula is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Howling Fjord. It is step 107 of 162 in the Howling Fjord storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Howling Fjord at 53.6, 66.3. It rewards 4 reward items, 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

We've been spraying down the vrykul village of Halgrind for weeks now and the vrykul just won't drop dead.

Let's face it, <name>, by now our Plague has been exposed to humans, dwarves, dogs, livestock... you name it. As our strains adapt to their hosts, more impurities get thrown in the mix. What we need is a strain made custom for the vrykul's biology.

Halgrind's chieftain fled the town after we took it over; you'll find him west of here. As a patriarch of the Dragonflayer clan, his blood is ideal.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • I'll Try Anything!Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    I never want to see another barrel of salted fish as long as I live! Filling barrels day in and day out, and there are still more to be filled! I wish I hadn't used up all that bait I bought from Nat Pagle. Worked like magic, it did. Now I'm lucky if I can catch a fish an hour!

After this quest

  • Apply Heat and StirHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    You've done well so far, <name>. I'd like to teach you some of my more advanced techniques, so that you gain a better understanding of the plague. Take this empty flask and fill it with blood from the cauldron to my left.
