Description
Scorposhi venom usually induces a slow, creeping death. It's remarkable that your friend has survived this long. As with most antivenoms, the thing that kills is also the thing that heals. I'll need to extract the venom from several scorpashi stingers to craft the cure. When the extracted poison is mixed with cactus root salve, we will have the antivenom we need to treat his wounds.
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.
- Searching the Ruins
Dese dunes are crawling with assassins. Nowhere is safe, but we must press on. De ruins aren't far from here. Let's continue our search on foot.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nature's Remedy
Your friend doesn't have much time left. The scorpid venom is likely rotting his veins right now. He will certainly meet death without a cure. I will help. The first ingredient I'll need is the root of the prickly plum cactus. Its natural healing properties will make a suitable base for the salve.
