Speak to Fiona and wait for her to begin asking for ingredients.

In random order:

Let's add in something dangerous... Maybe even toxic - Swamplighter Venom
OK, how about something that'll stir it up and wriggle around! - Riotvine
Trow in something Meaty - Riverbeast Heart
How about something that'll give it a nice glow! - Moonlit Herb

Tip during launch / when crowded - if you cant find Gidwin, he is on the left side of Fiona on the ground (probably under the big pile of people)

"Here, give this to Gidwin. Hopefully this works."

...

I basically gave the dwarf poisoned meat.

Speak to Fiona first, then wait for her to begin. Watch your chat box and wait until she says one of the following:

  • "Let's add in something dangerous... Maybe even toxic" - which will be the Stingtail Venom "OK, how about something that'll stir it up and wriggle around!" - the Poisonvine Frond "Throw in something Meaty" - Riverbeast Heart "How about something that'll give it a nice glow!" - Moonlit Herb

She does not follow that exact order and you must be ready to toss in the ingredient or you will have to start all over again.

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.

    All this sitting around is horrible for business. I have to find a way to recoup some of my lost profits. Those Draenei females are obsessed with the way their horns look. I overheard one of them talking about a root that grows in Blademoon Bloom that supposedly reduces horn shedding or something.
