What to do

StorylineZul'Drak, step 33 of 79
Rewards2g 62s 50c

Description

Gritty as my men are, they're still mortal. Wounds and pain diminish their ability to perform their missions. No amount of training changes that simple fact of life. Thankfully, one of our alchemists has developed a recipe for a salve that binds to our bandages and greatly reduces the pain our soldiers experience. The salve requires a special poppy these trolls cultivate just west of here. Go to Drak'Sotra Fields and harvest some of them to keep our stockpiles from running out.

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.

  • Creature ComfortsZul'Drak · Level 20-30

    Well, it ain't glamorous, but it needs doin'. My troops have been fightin' their hearts out while knee-deep in stagnant water for days on end. That just can't be good fer ya. What they need is a nice fire to dry 'em out and lighten their spirits.

After this quest

  • Throwing DownZul'Drak · Level 20-30

    Clever... Just when it seemed we were getting things under control, they tunneled right underneath us and secured the shrine! Now we're caught between two Nerubian armies and our predicament is worsening by the minute. As our first course of action, we must stop them from reinforcing.
