Gahrron's Withering Cauldron

Gahrron's Withering Cauldron is a quest for level 15-30 in Western Plaguelands. It is step 52 of 63 in the Western Plaguelands storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Western Plaguelands at 62.6, 58.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 2,050 experience and money.

Description

My analysis is complete! The blight that affects the animals here is no residual disease. No, it is something new... and I think I know what it is.

The Cult of the Damned maintains a plague cauldron on a farm called Gahrron's Withering.

This farm is due southeast of us, close to where the Eastern Plaguelands begin. I need a sample from this cauldron to verify my suspicions.

Eliminate the cauldron lord present there for its key. You will then be able to access the cauldron and obtain my sample.
