If you're higher level and having problems killing them, [item=137663] is one good solution, sold by toy vendors - [npc=52358] sells it in Stormwind for 50 gold, [npc=144084] in Boralus for 40 gold, and [npc=52809] in Orgrimmar.

One hit from it takes them from 100% health to 10% health.

Description

The infection is getting stronger so I made some adjustments and I'm pretty sure I have the right formula now. It should now work but it needs to have less competition with the infected blood for it to have any effect. This means you will need to weaken them before you apply the serum for it to function properly. The infection is getting more advanced and will soon be untreatable so we have this one shot to save as many as we can.

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.

  • Field TrialSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Look, I didn't tell Kimzee about this because I don't want to hurt her feelings, I chose not to leave Pinchwhistle Point. See, I've been working on a serum that I think should be able to cure the infected, but when I tried to test it I got surrounded and I injured my leg during the escape.

After this quest

Taken from a quest that requires this one.

  • Flame OnSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Alright <name>, we've saved as many as we could but now we need to make sure this disaster doesn't spread any further. The firebombs are wired up and ready to go. Kimzee just finished work on the flying machine so we're ready to ride back to the Gearworks as soon as we're finished.
