What to do

StorylineGrizzly Hills, step 94 of 115
Rewards4,100 XP

Description

The furbolgs' work must be undone, {name}. The best of intentions do not count for much when the result is tainted by such strong a corruption. The sapling must be destroyed, for it is the source of this dark influence. Take this torch and use it to set fire to the corrupted sapling and bring me its ashes. Once cleansed, by fire, I will use what power I can to remove the taint from them. You will need the ashes to purify Ursoc from the evil power that holds sway over him.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Free at LastGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    The rock shard you imbued should be powerful enough to break the runic magic binding my brothers. Take it with you and find the runed giants walking north along the Eastwind Shore. Unleash the power stored in the stone and observe the results.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Vordrassil's SeedsGrizzly Hills · Level 15-30

    We must make sure that Vordrassil is never regrown. The furbolg must have harvested its seed. Go to Grizzlemaw, in central Grizzly Hills, and obtain all the seeds that you can find. I will make sure they're properly destroyed.
