Description

It's obvious! The bloodspore moths are the entities responsible for pollination on these plains. It must be something that happens within the moth's internal system that acts as a catalyst for this pollen to work. It's all starting to make sense now, {name}. That's why the kobolds don't kill the moths and instead go to great lengths to protect them! Those stupid little rats have it all figured out! Well we'll just have to get our own moth pollen! What do you say? Fetch me some in the name of science?

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Wondrous BloodsporeBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    We are witnessing something amazing here, <race>. A whole undiscovered ecology lives and breathes not more than a few paces from us! I surmise it is the bloodspore plant that sets this environment abuzz.

  • Karuk's OathBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    They call themselves the Kvaldir. My people have legends about them; we call them the tuk-hariq - walkers of the fog. My village was destroyed by these giant mist-men. Everyone I knew was slain, including my father Ariut. By tuskarr law I must seek retribution against those who shed my kin's blood.
