Handling It: Taut Tethercoil

Handling It: Taut Tethercoil is a quest for level 70. It is step 2 of 4 in the Rune of Shadowbinding storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Azure Span at 40.1, 64.3. It rewards 1 reward item, 4,750 experience and money.

Description

I've read of a root in the Emerald Dream known for its defensive qualities. It binds its tendrils to powerful foes as a way to protect surrounding flora and fauna. A friendly scribe might be able to help you adapt its properties.

If I could just get my hands on some of that root, I'm sure I could dissect its properties and mold it into something capable of harnessing Fyr'alath's power.

Here are my notes. You should be able to find powerful creatures guarding patches of wild tethercoil. Good hunting.
