You are guaranteed to get the organ if you kill 15 blighted elks, which are most abundantly found east and west of Azjol Nerub.
You can ranged pull the elks as they won't drag along any extra mobs (other than nearby elks).

Description

With Scourge comes death and disease. We often overlook that the wildlife of a Scourge infested area is ravaged and ultimately destroyed by rot and contagion. For most of the indigenous beasts of the Dragonblight it is too late. The festering disease that the Scourge brings has already infected the beasts and they are now rabid and rotting. You must venture west, towards the Pit of Narjun, and cull the infected wildlife. Check their corpses for a preserved organ as we need one to devise a vaccine.

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 Translated TomeDragonblight · Level 15-30

    Here it is, <name>. I have translated everything printed upon the pages of the tome. Inside it you will find a list of the names of Cult of the Damned members spanning the entire continent. Their network of spies and operatives is impressive, to say the least. Farewell, friend.

    Our Forsaken allies have sent their apothecary core here to assist us in destroying the Scourge at the Wrathgate. One among them, Doctor Sintar Malefious, is well versed in the Scourge rot and methods of containing the spread.
