RewardsTome of Alacrity, Munificent Bulwark, 10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

Now that we have a strain of the plague that has adapted to vrykul carriers, we really ought to test it on our specimens in Halgrind. If all goes according to plan, they will disintegrate immediately as the plague devours their innards! You will find Halgrind north of here. Our plaguebringers are deploying the previous strain there - shouldn't be hard to spot.

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.

  • Apply Heat and StirHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    You've done well so far, <name>. I'd like to teach you some of my more advanced techniques, so that you gain a better understanding of the plague. Take this empty flask and fill it with blood from the cauldron to my left.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Time for CleanupHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Being the practical man that I am, I'm going to declare our research here a success. After all, what army can't be stopped by turning its rank and file against each other? I will send word of our achievements to Vengeance Landing soon enough.
