Description

I once worked for the so-called "Banshee-Queen", Sylvanas, as an apothecary. I used to admire her, but something's changed within her. She's not herself anymore.

I broke my vows with the Forsaken and joined the Crusade. Now, I use my knowledge of alchemy to seek a counter-plague agent. And the Plaguewood is the perfect place to do so.

I need to resupply a few reagents, any of which can be found within the Plaguewood. I'll pay you if you can find any of these items.

To make the arm glitter instead of glow (making it much easier to spot them)
Go to System, Graphics, Outline Mode (bottom-right) and disable it.
I ran around for a long time and only found one, when I disabled outline-mode, I found the other four arms nigh instantly.
