StorylineLoch Modan, step 15 of 35
Rewards10g 50s, 6,200 XP

Description

Alright, now just shut yer gob and lemme talk, 'cause here's the plan. Those gnolls and murlocs are liable to be meetin' out there somewhere. So you take this clever plant disguise of mine, and you wear it and look like a plant. Then you sneak up on 'em, and you throw this scent pheromone you gathered on the mosshide standin' with the murlocs. Then the murlocs'll flip their spit, and the mosshides will think twice about trying to work with such crazy lil' buggers!

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Bearer of Gnoll-edgeLoch Modan · Level 5-30

    I need you to take this back to Mountaineer Kadrell. Show it to him and tell him the nasty critters around here might be having some kind of get-together.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Suddenly, Murlocs!Loch Modan · Level 5-30

    So we've got troggs working for kobolds, and kobolds working for gnolls. The gnolls must've moved in from the Wetlands. How do I know? Well, they brought friends, because what's left of the Loch is swarming with Bluegill murlocs that were never there before.
