Messy Business

Messy Business is a quest for level 15-30 in Dragonblight. It is step 145 of 149 in the Dragonblight storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Crystalsong Forest at 42.2, 88.6. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Even at first glance, the sample you brought me shows obvious signs of some kind of corrosive spit. It would be a natural assumption that the same substance these worms use to burrow through the ground has allowed them a formidable weapon against the Ice Giants.

Take this scraper and pick a fight with some of the worms. When they spit on you, use the scraper to remove it and bring it back to me.

Get me a couple samples - I'm going to have to use it as the base for an elixir.

The larger worms, Feeders, are the only ones that will spit. The smaller worms, Spawn, will NOT spit. For higher levels, you don't even have to attack them. Engage combat, stand and wait. They will spit. Use the scraper and that's it.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Slim PickingsDragonblight · Level 15-30

    Cold out here, isn't it, <race>? Ko'char has refused to meet with me. It seems he has more pressing things on his mind - namely, the jormungar that have been attacking them from the cavern below. Maybe you can help me convince Ko'char that I'm one of the good guys.

After this quest

  • Stomping GroundsDragonblight · Level 15-30

    Greetings little one. I know not what madness has brought you to the Crystal Vice, but you are welcome in my presence. These ice worms... these jormungar have taken a taste to eating my brothers.
