Description

Samples... yes... must have samples! These, ah, experiments... I mean, these unfortunate laborers must be studied. Travel southeast to the first farm and kill the risen ghouls. From their decrepit corpses you must recover flesh samples. Bring them to me! <Arnauld wrings his hands together and laughs maniacally for no discernible reason.> Must test!

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.
