Description

I'm no brewer - just looking at all those heaps of ingredients makes my head spin. Just put the brew in front of me when it's finished, thank you.

No, I'm here to make sure that the brewers don't get cut in half while they're trying to make that perfect brew. It's not an easy job.

The Kor'thik mantid across this basin have been attacking us nightly. If you're already heading over there, why don't you return the favor and attack a few of them?

If you are stuck on Bound With Wood, Wood and Shade, and Kor’thik Aggression quests in Dread Wastes and are a fully leveled toon, you must go to Zidormi in Vale of Eternal Blossom (/way 81.13, 29.43) and change your timeline to present time and then complete Taoshi’s questline (/way 13.6, 75.4) as follows:

1. Reflections in Amber
2. Once More into Kor’vess
3. Crippling the Hive
4. Rotten at the Roots (/way 47.0, 16.0)
5. Amber Secrets
6. Old Faces, New Problems
7. A Unified Swarm
8. Heart of the Swarm
9. The Mantid Threat (/way 40.14, 75.26)

If you do not do this, you will not be able to move forward with the Dread Wastes questline. On another note, when I went to present time, it turned out that I had already completed the 1st (3) quests in Taoshi’s questline. I ended up having to abandon the dread waste quests to get Taoshi to appear alongside me at Kor’Vess offering me the Rotten at the Roots quest.

I hope this helps someone. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to complete Dread Wastes as a level 70 in Dragon Flight.

Quote from a comment of quest Wood and Shade: "If you are 120 and you're struggling with this quest, you need to complete the quest chain given by Taoshi. Doing so will phase the area back to level 90

I was trying to do this in 8.3, all the mobs here are scaled to 120
I have found the rooms I need, walked in and got the red blades light up, but the quest wasn't marked as complete.

I had a feeling the Kor'vess scaling/phasing is really messing around with the quests here so I went at did that, and after finishing Taoshis questline that starts at Serpents Bite, I was able to complete this quest"

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wood and ShadeDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    "Rending daggers of the great ones shall be bound with WOOD and SHADE." Hmm. I've learned a lot about the Kor'thik mantid in my time here. I know that they maintain shrines within their settlement, Kor'vess. One is a heartroot of the very tree that they inhabit.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fate of the StormstoutsDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    Greetings, <race>. I am Chen Stormstout. I'm looking for my family. I am told that several Stormstouts came across the wall to help face the mantid threat. I mean to find them, and join them. Have you seen anyone named Stormstout come through here? Would you mind helping me ask around?
