Prepare to cull the whole area of mobs to ever so slightly fill up a progress bar, while at the same time having to contend with faction tagged mobs. Engaging content!

A World of Warcraft quest in Zereth Mortis. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

Cheat sheet for how much each mob gives:
Avians: 5%
Grazers and Bulls: 4%
Animates: 3%
Mawsworn controllers who are sallying about: 0%
Nothing is worse in this expansion than seeing a quest with a progress bar....
It seemed to me every mob you killed was worth 3% or 4%, so basically it's 25+ kills to fill the progress bar.

What to do
Description
The forces of Zovaal have been spreading their malign influence into the natural life within Provis Fauna. With the rate of their corruption, attempting to cleanse them one by one would be ill advised. Instead, we can just return their energies into the systems of Zereth Mortis to be used to create new fauna. Use this orb, let it absorb their energy as they die, and then cleanse it once it has been charged.
