TheWoWDBIn case you seem to be having trouble completing this quest, just drop it, find the questgiver, and then just wait around. I ran off and missed the event because I was speed questing. Just watch the guillotine.
Quest
Cry For The Moon
A World of Warcraft quest in Duskwood. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If you want to collect decors by completing this quest, but you don't have any here, you need to complete a very small quest chain starting at [npc=43738] with The Yorgen Worgen.
Then he will send you to the [npc=43730] and you will have the quest A Curse We Cannot Lift available, that is one quest behind this one.
If you're doing this with a high level character, you can use Soft Foam Sword for the lurking Worgen. This drops him to near zero HP, but does not kill him

I'm hopeful, but let's remain professional. It's business as usual for this one. Into the guillotine he goes... and if the alchemy doesn't take, he won't be getting back out of it. Jitters and I will attend to this. Please, just stand back and watch from a safe distance.
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.
- A Curse We Cannot Lift
What we do here is not a cure. The transformation cannot be removed once inflicted. But the mind... The mind can be restored, through alchemy, if enough is left intact. This worgen you've encountered sounds like he's fighting to stay aware, <name>. We've got to find him again.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Fate of Morbent Fel
Before I was lost to the woods, the last thing I remember is Morbent Fel. He was a vile necromancer, and the reason this land swarms with so many vile undead. I asked an adventurer to help me put an end to him. I thought they did!
