Description

<The machine buzzes for a few moments before Wizbang's voice breaks through.>

Interesting! The source of this corruption definitely came from something external--no surprises there--but it appears that in this case they've been eating something foul. A large mammal probably. Most likely a bear.

Search the beach for a bear carcass for me. Slightly east of there would make the most sense, on the inland side of the beach. Bring me the sample back at town.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Buzzbox 413Darkshore · Level 5-30

    Greetings! I'm helping Tharnariun here try to unravel what's been corrupting the wildlife in the area. I've set up some machines in the field that can analyze animal parts and possible corruption agents. If you can get me some good samples, we can get to the bottom of this affliction quickly.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Buzzbox 723Darkshore · Level 5-30

    There are a couple other forms of wildlife that we've verified infected. It's actually good news that the crabs appear to have caught this from the bears - hopefully that means this all stems from one source. We need to focus our attention on those bears now.
