Creeping Death

Creeping Death is a Horde-only quest for level 30-60 in Vol'dun. It is step 3 of 8 in the A City of Secrets storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Vol'dun at 47.1, 75.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

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 this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Searching the RuinsVol'dun · Level 30-60

    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 RemedyVol'dun · Level 30-60

    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.
