A tip for Smuggler's Run people:
A wyvern should phase/fly in right near Velonara after you accept the quest.
The wyvern didn't show up immediately for me, only after I walked up to the entrance of the brewing camp and back to Velonara. If you don't want to run back manually, or are confused at what Velonara's saying about the flightmaster insisting a ride back, try this.

This is one of the quests in a chain that will grant at it's conclusion an [item=116394] and the toy [item=119001]. This quest is only available if you have built the Brewery (Hearthfire Tavern).

In addition, via this quest line you will get a follower for your garrison - [follower=453.2] (H)/[follower=453.1] (A). This follower is also available from [npc=88635] (H)/[npc=88633] (A) in your garrison for 5000g if you have built a Smuggler's Den and do not intend to change it.

The [item=119001] can only be obtained if you have built the Hearthfire Tavern (Brewery) instead of the Smuggler's Den as your Spires of Arak Outpost. If you have already selected the Smuggler's Den, you must pay 5000g to switch outposts (You can get 1000g back at later, as I've noted at the end of this comment). This can be done by speaking to [npc=81920] (H)/[npc=81929] (A), who will give you the option to pay the fee to switch.

After building the Brewery Outpost, you must complete the following quest line:

Horde
Alliance





After this quest line has been completed, you can obtain the quest Not In Your Army (H)/Cleaning House (A), which will grant the [item=119001] toy as a reward.

NOTE: Completing No Time to Waste (H)/No Time to Waste (A) grants [item=116394] as a reward. This can be used to purchase blueprints from [npc=85840] (Warspear)/[npc=85849] (Stormshield). You can get blueprints you don't already have instead of purchasing them with gold.
However, if you already have all the blueprints, purchase any of the following blueprints to vendor for 1000g:


  • [item=116431] (H)

  • [item=107694] (A)

  • [item=109254]

  • [item=111968]

  • [item=111980]

  • [item=111986]

That's probably because the Alliance has an identic questline, and there the person is a male dwarf. This is what happens when you copy paste Blizzard. Sure the Alliance text isn't identical, but they probably used it as a template and then changed it around.

Description

Commander, we're in luck. The antidote recipe is fairly simple. I was able to make a small amount with what I had on me. You should take it to Lunzul before it's too late. It should keep her alive long enough for me to make more.

Where to go

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • We Have Him NowSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    We have Gardul right where we want him, commander. You're far more equipped to face him than I am. Dispose of him, take his formula from his corpse, and grab as many barrels of poison as you can. I'll guard this ramp and make sure no reinforcements come to his aid.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Peace OfferingSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    We need allies amongst these spires, and quickly. Commander, I believe it would be wise if you sought out aid. There is a lone arakkoa outcast southeast of here living near a ravager nest. The ravagers do not attack him - I suspect he has information on the beasts we may be able to use.
