Poisoned Barbs

Poisoned Barbs is an Alliance-only quest for level 35-60. It is step 6 of 15 in The Sands of Vol'dun storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Vol'dun at 39.0, 42.9. It rewards 8,150 experience and money.

Description

I'm surprised this snake-man is alive, let alone able to speak. Look at this!

<Ermey holds up a needle-like barb.>

It looks like it came from one of those giant insects wandering about in the bottom of the gulch. I'll bet my stripes it's poisoned.

You know what they say, that which kills can also cure.

Go get a few more of these barbs. I bet if I mix it in with that cactus he's wanting we will get a good antivenom to treat his wounds.

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.

  • Unexpected AidLevel 35-60

    I was shadowing those sethrak when I saw this one left for dead beside the trail. I don't think he's like the others. Looks like they roughed him up pretty bad. I made contact and before he passed out he said he knew where our man was being taken! We need to find out what this thing knows!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Antidote ApplicationLevel 35-60

    The antidote's ready. It smells like death and tastes worse, but it should be potent enough. Let's hope that we're not too late for it to do any good. Here, administer the salve to his wounds. It should work nearly instantly.

The storyline at a glance

The Sands of Vol'dun has 15 steps, from Voyage to the West to Return to Boralus.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Vol'dun (14), Tiragarde Sound (1).

Steps of this storyline count toward:

  • Ready for War Complete the war campaign in Kul Tiras and Zandalar.
