Filing my tax return was more fun than this.
Painful daily, even in a group. The area is small, mob spawns are sparse, and interactable objects on the ground add very little progress to your total. Do once for credit and avoid in the future.

Description
There's been a resurgence of rylaks on the battlefield in our skirmishes against the Iron Horde. If we don't stop them at the source, we'll quickly lose control of the roads and be pushed back into our outposts. The most likely source of these additional rylaks is in southeastern Shadowmoon Valley, at Darktide Roost. If we move quickly, we should still have time to get ahead of the problem.
