Description
Hey {name}, you look like you're ready to handle hostile territory. Far away in the desert of Vol'dun, on the continent of Zandalar, there grows a plant called akunda's bite. You couldn't pay me enough to go there myself, and there's almost no mention of them in any of the books I've read, but all is not lost. I know of an herbalist who lives there in the desert and studies that plant. Find him, and I'm sure he'll be able to teach you a thing or two. Oh, and do be warned... He is a bit... eccentric.
