Come closer, my apprentice... I have a mission of dire import!

A necromancer came to our house recently, sent by the lich Margrave Sin'dane! He seemed so polite, always eager to lend a hand in my lady's most volatile creations.

But I grew wise, my apprentice. The way he skulked around, prodding for our most sensitive experiments...

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hazardous Waste CollectionMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    Ah, slimes: the dearest of friends and infinitely useful! They will help us craft our potion. But it seems our tools have been scattered around, doused in toxic refuse. Margrave Stradama would be so disappointed at my lack of respect for lab safety!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • By Any Other NameMaldraxxus · Level 10-54

    Excellent work, my apprentice! Our laboratory is back in working order! Now, there is one final ingredient we require to complete our potion for Margrave Stradama. You will need to run along to the greenhouse. I've cultivated a sprig of dreadshade that should be ready to harvest.
