TheWoWDBThis might just be the most awesome lore quest in the whole game. Why? Because it shows someone seriously -- and I mean seriously -- cares about crafting a living culture and getting it right. I study folk lore and herbalism in real life, and stories related to plants are very real and deeply fascinating, but are getting forgotten because hey, they're just plants... right? Big thumbs up to Blizzard for including this!

Description
I have noticed dat your skill with harvesting plants has improved, but I have also noticed dat you just treat each flower and leaf as a commodity. De flora of dese islands have a rich history, with a deep cultural significance to us. Go down to the Port of Zandalar, and ask some of the men and women what a sea stalk means to them. Learn from us, and l will make it worth your while.
