Quest Log

Collecting Kelp

Collecting Kelp is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Elwynn Forest. It is step 13 of 30 in the Elwynn Forest storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Elwynn Forest at 43.3, 65.7. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

I can make an invisibility liquor for Maybell, so she can slip away from the Maclure Vineyards and go to Tommy Joe. But to make the liquor, I need some crystal kelp.

Although the kelp usually grows in the ocean... sometimes murlocs collect it. See if the murlocs near Crystal Lake have any. Crystal Lake is just east of Goldshire.

" I'm sure Maybell is anxious to see her beau..."
This guy is just so God-damned classy. I am serious.
Also, tip for casters: Streamrunners are fast all heck. Try to slow them (Frostbolt for mages). Also, you usually end up pulling at least two, so watch out (goes for all classes).
