Nip It in the Bud

Nip It in the Bud is a quest for level 60 in Zereth Mortis. It is step 11 of 18 in the Forging a New Path storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zereth Mortis at 47.7, 80.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 8,150 experience and money.

Description

The Catalyst Wards used to be peaceful. Pilgrims have been coming here for ages to observe the wonders of the First Ones. But this place is no longer safe. The Cultivator showed no mercy and no reason as it slew several of our brethren.

You must destroy it.

Other Elders would disagree with me. The other Elders are wrong.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pluck from the VinesZereth Mortis · Level 60

    I ran, scrambling through the thorny foliage, the lashers snapping at my heels. My fellow pilgrims were not so lucky. I could hear their screams of pain and horror as I fled. You must find a way inside. Rescue them, <name>!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Root of the ProblemZereth Mortis · Level 60

    I suspect we can harness the growth energy present in these plants for our own purposes, but I will need fresh samples. You can harvest energized plant matter from any of the lashers or vine-choked automa nearby, or those inside the Catalyst Wards.
