If you use your speed up spells before using roots, ur speed will be increased and you can pull vine out. For example, if you are paladin and use freedom/steed while pulling out vine it will be canceled, but if you cast freedom/steed before start pulling - everything will work.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Salad BarThe Oasis · Level 80

    Hemet, Om'talad, and I have been working together to see what we can do to help the lapbugs. It seems their original food source didn't make it through the collapse of K'aresh!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lapbug Essence HunterThe Oasis · Level 80

    Thorntails are known to hunt smaller creatures. If we are to increase their numbers, we should also increase the numbers of the lapbug population to compensate. Gather some of their astral essence. You can use a phase conduit to get into Untethered Space.
