TheWoWDBSo I was working on this chain, when suddenly I was unable to get this next quest in the chain -
Improvised Ammunition - turns out that at this point you need to finish the 3 quests from [npc=61470] at which point Taran will open up Improvised Ammunition!

Make sure to grab Thieves and Troublemakers and In the wrong hands next to the quest area, as you have to farm the same mobs.
Well, I was doing that quest. I saw something similar to these orbs (bah, I'm wearing glasses, so...). I have taken that. I was suprised - it wasn't an orb, but a gray item, called "Amber Encased Moth"...It's sell price was 105G.

What to do
Description
I've got another job for you. The dragon cannons we depend on to keep the thicker swathes of mantid back are running low on ammo. The camp's cannoneers developed an improvised explosive that's made from the globe seeds down the western ridge. They dispatched a couple initiates to bring some back hours ago, but have heard nothing from them. I want to send someone a bit more capable to make sure that this gets taken care of. Are you my man for this?

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

I do have another task for you, <name>, though it's a might grim. I really need to get to the bottom of this mantid poison, but to do that, I need more information directly from the source.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cutting the Swarm
The mantid numbers have been increasing since you left for the cleft. Let's put these orbs you gathered to use. Get down on the battlefront and man one of the cannons. Let none through.
