"Please, make sure that my budlings are well protected."
Sure thing! Because I most certainly did NOT start mounting up and flying off immediately after setting down each one, because the quest doesn't require you to kill the mobs that spawn for completion. No sir-ry I most certainly did NOT do that!

Pick up all of them and you will be shown where to go next

After the quest you can go back to the hydras that are now bigger. They remember you and you can pet them.

Description

With the previous tasks done, it is time to reintroduce the budlings to the wilds. I have marked suitable locations to place the budlings. The little hydras will be an easy pick, so expect predators to attack you. I am sad to see them go. However, I know it is for the ecosystem's and their own good.

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.

Feeding the BudsHarandar · Level 83-88
The orchid hydra's favorite food is the violet chloroceros--especially the buds on the bull's back. With the hydras gone for so long, the violet chloroceros grazed too much of the fauna. Soon, there will only be mud in that once lush and beautiful part of Harandar.
