Fun with Fungus

Fun with Fungus is an Alliance-only quest for level 10-40 in Shadowmoon Valley. It is step 7 of 18 in The Exarch Council storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Shadowmoon Valley at 56.5, 23.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 5,450 experience and money.

Description

It is our mission as rangari to explore and understand this world. Around you is the Umberfen. Many draenei lost their lives when we first discovered this place. The volatile spores burst whenever anyone approaches.

But we watched... and we learned.

Around the swamp you'll notice "Shimmershrooms," distinguished by their orange glowcaps. Their dust will make you invisible to the volatile spores. Grab the spores - gently! - and bring them to me.

We will forge this savage world into a weapon.

In order to complete this, first you need to go and find a Shimmershroom (it's an orange mushroom, stands out well in all the blue). When you use it, you will get a 30 second buff that makes all Volatile Spores friendly to you. Then simply go around collect (right click) as many of them as you can before the 30 seconds run out.

You should be able to complete the quest with about 2-4 shimmershroom uses depending on how many people are around.

The Shimmershrooms look like glowcaps. They give you a buff that make the Volatile Spores friendly. The Volatile Spores disorient you so avoid them when going to a glow cap. The glowcaps and the Volatile Spores can be operated while mounted ... get out your disc or water strider mount and do it quickly ;-)

Get the quest "The Sting" and kill the sporebats for the Pristine Stinger. The Umbraspore Giants (elite) drops a quest ... "Fungal Bundle". Turn in all three quest together.

1. Go to 53.8, 21.8
2. Click on orange glowing mushroom. It will give you a buff called [spell=165892].
3. For as long as you have the buff, [item=113192] will be friendly and you can click them to collect them for the quest.

Note that you can stay mounted while clicking on the mushroom AND the spores.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Naielle, The RangariShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    I am calling the Exarch Council to order to hear your petition. None of us doubt that this "Iron Horde" is a threat, but few can agree on what we should do about it. It is up to you and Vindicator Maraad to gather the Exarchs together.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hataaru, the ArtificerShadowmoon Valley · Level 10-40

    I will also need you to call upon Exarch Hataaru. I understand you were helping him with our defenses at the gate. Hataaru is our Chief Artificer - he understands our technology better than any other and has been working tirelessly to recreate the glory of the civilization we left behind.
