Thank you for everything you have done for my people, but they are still scared of outsiders.
Fight the bog lords and rescue the spore sacs in the Spawning Glen. The future of my people is at stake!

if a player reaches neutral or friendly reputation with Sporeggar prior to taking the quest it is no longer an avaialble quest and cannot be completed on that toon Confirmed by GM ticket response
If you're a completionist and are looking for a way to complete this quest after reaching neutral, here's what you can do:
1) Open up a group and activate party sync.
2) Redo the quests The Sporelings' Plight & Natural Enemies from [npc=17923]. DON'T ACCEPT Sporeggar!
3) Open your reputation tab and set yourself at war against Sporeggar.
4) Go to Sporeggar and kill dem all. Each kill gave me -25 rep and -50 for Msshi'fn. Depending on your rep, this can take a while.
5) Once you reach unfriendly status, go back to [npc=17923] and accept An Outside Perspective.The Sporeggar guys take quite some time to respawn (2-5mins). Go farm [npc=21076] during the downtime.
Make sure party sync stays active until you're done :)
This neutral quest is the lead-in for the "Trip with the Sporelings" section of Mysteries of the Marsh. Completing his two dailies will likely leave you with a short distance from the next reputation level. Kill some more bog lords, or wait for the daily to refresh in order to continue the quest chain into Sporregar itself.

Us sporelings and the bog lords have never gotten along well. In the past, we've managed to keep them at bay with spears and stones. Lately they seem to have become more aggressive... or more desperate. They do not fear us or our weapons. You are much scarier and better armed than us.

You're a kind <race>, <name>. Not like some of the others I've met. You should meet the rest of my people; they'll be very grateful for your help. Take these spore sacs to my leader, Msshi'fn. You will find him in Sporeggar, north of here.
