TheWoWDBThis is unquestionably the longest escort quest in the entire game. While you can combine it with the repeatable quest Now That We're Still Friends, which also involves killing Naga, it takes so long it really isn't worth it. I am convinced it has been lengthened since the last time I levelled a character through Zangramarsh years ago. While It does give rep for Sporregar, it is not part of a chain, from a purely time management perspective or power levelling you'd be much better off just grinding through Coilfang Reservoir dungeons to gain rep with them. In addition, picking up five Sanguine Hibiscus in Underbog grants 250 rep with them when turned in for the repeatable quest Bring Me Another Shrubbery!

These items are are excellent if you're below, say, 64.
64-67, they're decent.
68+ they're D/E or vendor food.Blizzard either needs to lower the rep requirement to honored or at the very least, revered, or buff the items significantly.
It's unfair to force players to farm Sporeggar rep pre-70, putting their leveling to a grinding halt, or give them sub-par items at 70.
As of patch 4.3 I can confirm this is quest is available upon honored reputation instead of exalted!
