Absorbent

Description

One other thing I need. Hot water.

Not easy around here. Not hot springs, no friends to share. One good way though. Have this sponge... it's ultra absorbent! Use it to go soak Vile Splashes at the sandbar eastish.

With enough, go squeeze them out over near the tower to summon jumbo elemental. He has hot water.

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.
