Pining for Nuts

Pining for Nuts is a Horde-only quest for level 10-90. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 9,500 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

The Shu'halo use pine nuts in so MANY dishes: meat, fish, vegetables, even baked into breads or sprinkled over sweet pastries.

The Earth Mother has blessed us in that the very BEST pine nuts come from the trees upon these very mesas. Simply gather pine cones and toast them over a cooking fire to release the nuts within.

Would you please be so kind as to gather some? There are hardly ever enough to go around...

The pine cones are at the base of almost every tree in Thunder Bluff. Each pine cone cooks into 5 nuts. The pine cones are visible with find herbs ability.

The Pine Cones can be tracked with the Find Herbs ability if you're an Herbalist.
You get 5 Pine Nuts per cone so you only need to collect 6 Pine Cones.

You can only do one of the cooking quests and one of the fishing quests each day from TB, Org, and UC. If you want, you can mix and match them... say, do the fishing quest in UC and cooking quest in TB. But if you did the cooking quest in Org, you can't do a cooking quest in TB or UC.
