TheWoWDBThe absolute best way to farm these is by doing the the Frenzy thing in the Emerald Dream.
Kill a bunch of neutral mobs, Surging Lasher spawns, tag and kill him, repeat.
Could be done in less than an hour!

Is this buggy right now? I made sure that the debuff stays on the rare mob when it dies but i do not receive the taut tethercoil. I tried several things: only autohitting, not being in a group, using item directly from bag. Normal rares, event rares. Relogging, abandon and accepting quest again... nothing works
Extremely important to know: DO NOT press ESC or use any /stopcasting macro while you have the buff, it will get removed and you will not get the quest item! Just tested it while farming some rares.
Hope this can help you, good luck!

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Handling It: Rune of Shadowbinding
Lydiara Whisperfeather is an academic who recognizes the rigidity of the rules that govern our world. She also likes bending them. If there is anyone who can assist in binding Fyr'alath's power, it's her.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Handling It: Prototype Rune
Ah, I see! We're in uncharted territory here, but I've got a plan. You'll need some Cosmic Ink, Runed Writhebark, and Shadowflame Essence. Sharing this recipe with a friendly scribe should allow them to complete a Crafting Order for you.
