Quest Log

Spayed by the Spade

Spayed by the Spade is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 2 of 5 in the Legion Herbalism storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dalaran at 43.0, 33.3. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

The stem, leaves, and petals are dazzling, to be certain... but look at the pollination filaments, here, and the reproductive organs in the center of the bloom. They contain more energy than the rest of the plant put together.

I suspect that we can more responsibly and efficiently harvest aethril by focusing on these parts.

Still, it looks like this bloom has been damaged. I need undamaged parts if I'm to be sure.

To obtain the items, you have to gather some more Aethril until they appear along with Aethril in the loot.

"It may seem wrong to remove these most... "intimate" flower parts, but do not fret. They will grow back.
Much like the parts of a troll. "
wait...what?

Ragged Strips of SilkLevel 10-45
Finely made strips of clothing, torn, tattered, and dirty: telltale signs of the withered. The feral, degenerate outcasts of nightborne society must also be harvesting the aethril... but why?
