Observing the Sporelings

Observing the Sporelings is a quest for level 10-30 in Zangarmarsh. It is step 32 of 64 in the Zangarmarsh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zangarmarsh at 23.3, 66.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

We need to learn all that we can of the sporelings at Sporeggar and their relationship to the creatures around them. One way to do that is what I'm doing; passive observation while making a note of their interactions.

I need you to head over to the Spawning Glen to the west. Investigate the whole area and then return to tell me what you saw.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Jyoba's ReportZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    Flecks of withered fungus dot the body of Scout Jyoba. Whatever killed him must've been made of the same dying fungus as the giant wilting mushrooms of the Dead Mire. Perhaps one of the withered giants caught him by surprise as he sat writing his report.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Question of GluttonyZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    I was wondering why the bog lords were crossing the road to go to the Spawning Glen - they must be starving for some reason. This just will not do! I mean, normally I wouldn't get involved, but if they continue to eat all of the sporeling pods they'll wipe them out!
