I didn't see any of the red plant. I found grey sacks...few and far between.

What to do
Description
There is a plant that grows in the old ruins of Bathran's Haunt across the road to the east. The plant is called Bathran's Hair and is known to cure ailments of the spirit. Now the Horde are there harvesting the plant for their own evil schemes. There is a sick child in Astranaar, and we believe that her illness is more than just physical. I promised my master that I would help seek a cure, but I am no fighter. Will you go to Bathran's Haunt and gather the plants?
