If you're wondering where to turn them in, return to the bridge where Eastern Plaguelands meets Western Plaguelands. Questgiver is there. For some reason, the question mark didn't show up the map for this and The Gift for Fiona quest. But the questgiver is still there.

There are some IN the water, along the shore, in the path and even one or two partly up the mountain, although hard to see, the glimmer should give it away even those ones in the water. Just zigzag your way down the path and you should get them all without to much trouble.

Description

Sorry about that. I was pretty sure you were one of those spider-beasts, doing a bad {race} impression. How do you do? Gidwin Goldbraids, at your service. I'm in a bit of a hurry back to my caravan, but I was wondering if you might do me one last favor? My pal Fiona runs a small shop, and she could probably use some of these herbs that grow along the river shore. I'm thinking if we give her some nice herbs, she'll be MUCH less likely to murder me. That's the plan, anyway.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Just EncasedEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    You should have seen me fight! I must have killed six of those beasts, when... Oh wait, you can count the bodies, can't you? OK, fine. I killed four of them, when the fifth one shot me with this web. To make things even worse... when he blasted me with web juice, my mouth was open!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tarenar SunstrikeEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    As soon as we stopped, they made a bet about "who could kill the most undead in five minutes." It's been an hour, and I'm still waiting for them to come back. I saw Tarenar run off to the southeast. Unfortunately, I can't leave the caravan here by itself.
