Lady Darkglen is located at 35.89, 48.29. Although I could see the quest icon on the map, I couldn't see it on the minimap till I was standing where the NPC was located.

This may seem obvious, but don't stand in the water!

What to do

StorylinePathogenic Problem, step 2 of 6

Rewards33g 50s, 12,850 XP

Description

A strange pathogenic presence has infected my fellow ren'dorei. When we arrived, I was awestruck by the colorful vibrancy of this decay-filled valley and its many blood-stained flowers. I had hoped to gather some for my collection... to study of course, but this pathogen was living in the same pestilent pools these blood petals thrive in. Are they naturally resilient, or do they have purifying qualities we can harness for a cure? Dear {name}, please, cautiously gather blood petals for my research.

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.

Message to the MoltVoidstorm · Level 88-90
Ah, champion! There are so many unique specimens to identify and catalogue here that I can't keep up. Speaking of which, Lady Darkglen took time out of her busy schedule and coordinated an expedition to a particularly dangerous region north of here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Virulent VerminVoidstorm · Level 88-90
The pathogen appears to spread unevenly among the Molt's wildlife. When my fellow ren'dorei were infected, they grew confused and unresponsive. The local fauna appear more resistant. I suspect some of the Molt's denizens have a stronger resistance than others.
