When you pick up Defend the Riverlands and Return to the River from [npc=95186],
make sure to also obtain Spray and Prey from [npc=95956] standing close by.Suggestion regarding the [item=127988] provided in the Spray and Prey Quest
Rather than turning this quest in A.S.A.P.,
keep it open so that you can continue to make use of the [item=127988].When you spray a Drogbar with this item, he/she will go "off his nut" and
attack other NPCs in the area... e.g. [npc=94687] and other INSECT NPCs.When you approach a couple or three NPCs, do the following:
1) Target the Drogbar and spray with the Bug Sprayer.
2) Switch to another NPC and attack that one with your usual attacks.
3) After the Drogbar helps you kill other NPC(s), kill the Drogbar.I suggest you might want to hold onto the [item=127988] until one
of the Drogbar drops the [item=133820] Recipe. However, you will not be
able to receive the next quest in the chain, Lifespring Cavern, until you hand in Spray and Prey.It would have been so much nicer if one could hold onto the sprayer while battling
it out in Lifespring Cavern... or perhaps Snowblind Mesa? ROTFLAPMP
;)

Step 2 of 2. Chain order is read from the prerequisite data in the current retail client build, so it reflects what the game requires, not a curated storyline.
Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- The Flow of the River
We can leave Farmer Maya in charge of the farmland now that the greatest threat has been reduced. But we aren't out of hot water just yet, <name>. The fisheries are just as important as our fields, and they are in even greater danger than the farm if what Angler Creel says is true.
Other storylines on the Highmountain map
- Legion Blacksmithing
- The Bloodtotem Tribe
- Rivermane Tribe
- Allies of the Horde: Highmountain
- Legion Leatherworking
- Snowblind Mesa
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.

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.
