Description
I've a feeling the long trip across the sea is affecting the effectiveness of our plague. What is needed is a potent toxin to boost the potency of the strain. The crabs near this beach are a distant relative of the much smaller brown-shelled tidecrawler. The smaller tropical variety produces a paralytic toxin strong enough to knock out an ogre. As we all know bigger is better! The much larger glands on the local variety should prove more potent. Bring me a few!

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.
- The New Plague
Not long after Arthas condemned us to this wretched existence, we in the Royal Apothecary Society endeavored to create a plague of our own. A plague that would devour all flesh: living, dead or undead.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Test at Sea
We've just received word of reinforcements coming to the aid of the Alliance forces. Their timing couldn't be better! We're in sore need of test subjects and these North Fleet reservists will do nicely! Take these plague vials with you and speak to Camille, the Bat Handler.
