RewardsOintment-Coated Handwraps, Fuzzy Gloves, Ointment-Coated Bracers, 21g, 4,100 XP

Description

I've cultured these unusual spores you dug up with a most magnificent cocktail of ... reagents ... that I'm fond of. I'm eager to see how my manipulated spores react to the waters of the Crossroads oases. The Stagnant Oasis to the southeast should provide us an uncontaminated site for our experiment. Simply plant this culture in the moist soil anywhere near the oasis, and document the results for me. Be sure to cover your mouth, {class}. <Helbrim grins disarmingly.>

Where to go

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Growing ProblemNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    An explosion of life from barren soil... My companion Jerrik has described similar events happening elsewhere in the Barrens. I shall have to see this for myself, but I cannot abandon my post. Here, <name>, I will loan you my 'eyes.' My eagle companion here has served me since I was named.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Stagnant OasisNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    Can what's happening to the south happen here? Judging by what you found at the Forgotten Pools, these oases may be the key. Let's perform an experiment. Here, take these seeds I've collected from the summit here. They are dead and infertile, but carry them down to the Stagnant Oasis just below us.
