If you get this quest and the NPC is not showing in Chromie time Legion Dalaran for you to turn in you will have to go to your faction capital and see Chromie to return to the present. Then you can return to Dalaran and turn in the quest to the NPC who will now show, then return to your faction capital, turn Legion Chromie time back on, and proceed from there.

At the time of this comment, upon returning to Legion Chromie time the NPC has disappeared again, so my assumption is that this may need to be repeated every time you receive an herbalism quest from gathering.

The quickest way to do this will be to set your regular hearth to your faction inn in Dalaran so that you can port back and forth without waiting for either it or your Dal hearthstone to come off cooldown.

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.

Getting there

Inside the dungeon: Cathedral of Eternal Night

The upper chambers of the Tomb of Sargeras were once a place of worship to Elune. Since the Legion's invasion, fel minions have desecrated this holy place, twisting it into their own image. Now, this site will host a battle that could turn the tide of the invasion.

    The stem, leaves, and petals are dazzling, to be certain... but look at the pollination filaments, here, and the reproductive organs in the center of the bloom. They contain more energy than the rest of the plant put together.
