Properly Inspired (Horde)

Properly Inspired is a Horde-only quest for level 30-35 in Shimmering Expanse. It is step 116 of 149 in the Vashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse storyline. It rewards 4,800 experience and money.

Description

Been all over the place. Blown all kinds of things up. I thought I might have some trouble carrying on the trend, what with the water and all, but it's all just a matter of inspiration.

I found something volatile enough to make bombs out of! There's a bunch of kelp hanging under the terrace to the southwest. Normally kelp stores gas that makes it float - this kelp produces a different kind of heavy gas. It keeps it hanging, but also makes for great explosions.

Gather me some?

Due to the usual Multi-level appearence of the area, and of course your minimap not picking up this fact can be quite hard to figure what you are looking for.

Simply go to the bottom level of the ruins and look for anything dangling plantation from the roof of the structure, now, it helps to get up close and personal to the plants, as the "Bloated Kelp" very nicely merges into the plant, and on most occasions the "sparkles" merge in too.

The "Bloated Kelp" is almost Acorn shaped in apperence, and if as stated you are up close you should eventually see one. For the most part they do seem to spawn at the bottom of the plants, but did find some half way up (wich were well camoflaged) and one at the very top.

Hope this helps, as if like me, was looking "From a distance" you really cannot see these too well if at all..

Happy Hunting..

Ugh. Such awful narration from this idiotic NPC.

The items you want are found in the outer ring, surrounding the sunken city south of the "attack base" where you picked up the quest.

[Horde only.... alliance is so much easier; they need no instructables]

The key item, missing here, is that these items are found on the *LOWEST* level of the ancient city. On inverted vine things which hang from the "roof", or from the floor of the next level up. Your kelp balls are round light-yellow bowling-ball sized things which hang from the tips of these vines, generally 20-35 feet above the sand floor. Should sparkle, so you can kick yourself once you do see one.

Best of luck

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Not Entirely UnpreparedShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    I overheard your conversation with the Captain. I know what we're doing sounds insane, but we really don't have much choice. There are people back at that cave that are depending on us. I've stationed lookouts on various ledges in the immediate area.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Swift ActionShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    We have everything we need to begin the attack. If your claims were correct, you would do well to make sure you cling tight to your mount as we make the run. Anyone who gets caught in the open water isn't likely to out-swim a naga.
