You can loot them while mounted. If you're just finishing up the zone after leveling, doing it on your flying mount is trivial.

These mobs are ALLREADY dead. their name (Withered Husk) appears in grey but the are lootable corpses. Located to the west of the questgiver and up the hill. The drop rate appears to be 100%

(still broken in 9.1, same solution still stands it seems.)
AS OF 8.3 this quest is broken (atleast for 120 players), you get phased into the 120 version of the zone for a vale quest.
Go to 44.0 7.0, on the oterside of the big log bridge, there is a small section that DOES NOT phase into 120.
here you can kill a bunch of Kor'thik Mantid for quest -> Kor'thik Aggression
here you can loot 2 corpses for Fragrant Corewood for quest -> Bound With Wood
you might have to wait for respawns, its not IDEAL ofc, but its a temporary walkaround i found.
(you can also complete the quest chain given by Taoshi (as in destroy the 5 crystals, and do the reconinace misson after), as that will then phase the area back to lvl 90)

Description

<Vu eyes the recipe.> Hmm... "bound with wood". We don't typically brew with wood. Sap, yes... but not wood. We have, on rare occasions, infused our drinks with corewood from the treants to the west of here. Most of them have fallen to the mantid... but their remains should suffice for our recipe.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Rending DaggersDread Wastes · Level 30-35
Forget about them, and forget their BREW. We've got real work to do. The scroll mentions "rending daggers of the great ones". I've got a feeling I know where to find them. A pair of mantid lieutenants patrol the Horrid March, to the south. Each one carries a ceremonial dagger.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Wood and ShadeDread Wastes · Level 30-35
"Rending daggers of the great ones shall be bound with WOOD and SHADE." Hmm. I've learned a lot about the Kor'thik mantid in my time here. I know that they maintain shrines within their settlement, Kor'vess. One is a heartroot of the very tree that they inhabit.
