*Kills 3 goats*
"Man, this drop rate sucks"
*Reads quest text*
"...oh."
Soothoof Hillstriders are goats that can be found around the road to the shore. Use [spell=528] and slay sprites.
Btw if you pull a goat and then use [spell=528] nothing will happen, so dispell them before pull.Mischievous Sprites - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP4GTTxP08k

Description
It's a little-known secret that the dust sprites use for their various tricks has restorative properties. Some within the alchemy community balk at this claim, but they only refute it because they've never been able to get their hands on the rare ingredient. Sprites often shroud themselves in illusions to avoid detection. The nearby goats have a curious shimmer about them that suggests they may be sprites in disguise. Dispel whatever magic surrounds them to reveal their true form.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sampling the Source
My companion has fallen terribly ill, as you can see. He must have caught whatever these taurens had. Their entire camp has been wiped out! It appears to be fel in origin, and impervious to all known treatments.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shambling Specimens
This fel contagion appears to have three stages. The first is marked by a persistent, phlegmy cough. The second shows the skin turning a sickly shade of green. The third involves a complete transformation where the victim turns into a mindless corpse.
