You can't summon Zelfrax while Mordant and Jarl are in the middle of their little "I brought you a housewarming gift, Jarl"-event. So wait for them to be done with their talking before using the Witchbane Torch or you'll have to wait for the cooldown.

This quest was glitched for me today as a level 100, as well as for the level 35-40 players I saw try to complete it. Once [item=33113] was used at the end of the dock, Zelfrax wouldn't yell or move. I tried abandoning the quest and picking it back up and I also waited until the NPCs were done talking, and nothing worked. I submitted a bug report, but skipped the quest, and was still able to get Dustwallow Marsh Quests without it.

What to do

StorylineDustwallow Marsh, step 16 of 83

Description

The torch is ready. Plant it at the end of the dock and be prepared to face whatever comes forth. I have no idea what the torch's smoke may reveal... if anything emerges at all. I must say, I have my doubts about this kind of folk magic, but we haven't time for anything else. For your sake and Jarl's, I wish you luck.

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 Witch's BaneDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    In my years as an herbalist, I've often observed that nature will provide subtle cures to the most vexing of problems. I've read that hedge mages and witch doctors often use the smoke of an herb known as witchbane to draw evil from its hiding places.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Lost ReportDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    Sifting through the loose dirt, the severed hand of an orc is found. And clutched in the hand is a bone-carved tube. And in the tube is a dirt-stained parchment. The parchment is a report made by an orc who spent weeks spying on the city of Theramore.
