Edit: Thanks everyone for reporting, as of 3/15/2025 I was able to complete this quest.

Is this broken for anyone else? Tried left click and pull, right click and pull, interact hotkey and pull, abondoned quest, reloaded ui, switched characters, completed light dailies in the area. When i pull the root it just lets me go until it times out and resets the plant. I submitted a bug report but maybe I'm just missing something?

Description

Alright, I'll come with you. Show you how to do this properly. If I'm up, we might as well stock up on taro. Can't rely on adventurers to do delicate work, I suppose.

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.

  • Something EarthyHallowfall · Level 75-78

    Ah, another one of you lot, eh? Well, if you want to eat, you need to help. Pick me a fresh taro, will you?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enough GarlicHallowfall · Level 75-78

    Normally, this would do. I'm not so picky. But you're a guest. So we'll need some garlic. I found some growing on a hill not far off. Shouldn't be there. But it is. Too bad hydras found it, too. You have weapons and such, right?
