Quest
Moths to a Flame
A World of Warcraft quest in Suramar. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This quest opens up for Make An Entrance, which is given by First Arcanist Thalyssra. However, she won't give the quest unless she's been fed, meaning you have to feed her 50 Ancient Mana in order to access the follow-up quest (assuming you haven't already done so recently).
I cannot get this quest. It is required to enter the two dungeons, but it was never offered to me. I am revered in Suramar and only have the vineyards to take care of but the questgiver is bugged or just won't work. The only quest Valewalker Farondin will give me is for being exalted with the Nightfallen. Am I the only one who can't get attuned because of this? Someone else must have run into this bug.

No doubt you have noticed our guests. I have watched them for a time and seen how they are attracted to the tree. I do not know if they are harmful to our sapling, but we cannot take that chance. Collect a handful of the insects and bring them to me. I will examine them and determine if they are to be left alone.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Make an Entrance
I need you to infiltrate the Twilight Vineyards and bring back something to deal with these insects. To do that, you will need a way to bypass the guards that keep the orchards secure. Ly'leth will be able to help us there. I will arrange to have her meet you near the entrance. Go quickly!
