Located at the SW base of Aldur'thar (under the 'A' on the in-game map). The cauldrons will award a 2 hour buff depending upon into which one you throw the mass.

Cyan / Light-Blue :: +100 attack power
Green :: +75 stam
Dark Blue (Purple):: +60 spell power

Thanks, Giantpie, for the SP number & color suggestion.

In order to complete this quest.

Head towards 49,33

Start off with right clicking the quest item, which allows you to farm the items,
that are needed for the quest.

Then you need to kill 10 of the "Cult of the Damned" people,
Who most likely will drop " [Tainted Essence]" (100% drop rate)
And when you have them, you can turn them into a Writhing Mass.
Which you then throw into one of the cauldrons.

Ripped from earlier post: (thanks a lot btw :p)

Blue/Grey: Attack Power
Green: Stamina
Dark: Spell Power

I hope this was of help :)

What to do

StorylineIcecrown, step 55 of 167

Description

This should do the trick! Those twisted hooligans are looking for souls to put in their crazy-juice? Then I say we help 'em out a bit! Take a swig of this - don't worry, I've diluted it plenty... Its only effect will be to detect any cultist's essence once you've defeated them. When you've collected a bunch of essences, throw the writhing mass of twisted souls into any of their cauldrons. Let's see how they like a taste of their own medicine!

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.

  • Cannot ReproduceIcecrown · Level 25-30

    I smell their cauldrons from here, but that's not plague they're cooking. Pledges to the cult are forced to drink a concoction that steals their will and enslaves them forever to the Lich King.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Not a BugIcecrown · Level 25-30

    Alright, friend, time to plant a bug. Relax, it's not a bug exactly, but it'll serve our purposes. In the northern portion of Aldur'thar, the cult's void summoners enslave demonic minions.
