Wowza. Tell me you never play your own game without telling me you never play your own game...

The creatures you need to save for this world quest have an abysmal spawn rate and are shared with other players. Party up to complete it or wait until they hotfix it.

Respawn rate for 1 single animal is roughly 10 minutes. This is inexcusably bad.

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.
