For druids:
Hit them with your herb bundle then quickly hit them up with entangling roots. Get some distance from the burbolg while you focus on the slime. You will probably need to run a rejuvenation spell half way through to make sure you'll make it, but that's not so bad.

Description

With the sacred herbs and the bear's blessing, you must use this herb bundle to cleanse my brothers. The corruption spilling over from Felwood has driven them mad and they will attack any who come near. Expect the afflicted Blackwood to be angry with you until you have slain the spirits of corruption that haunt them. When you have freed my brothers from their madness, return to me.

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.

  • The DefilerDarkshore · Level 5-30
