TheWoWDBThis quest seems really unintuitive to me.
- You'll only see the icon for the potion you have to throw when you are in or near Perdition Hold even though the quest text says nothing about this requirement.
- I've only seen it actually work when I'm in Perdition Hold.
- It aggros whoever you throw it on. So even if they're fighting NPC's get ready for them to go for you once you throw the potions.
- The runes will appear on the ground but will disappear if you take too long to kill the mob. And since you aggro them from the potion you have to kill them first, so you're screwed if it takes too long.
- Some mobs have these appear in their loot. It seems like only elites, but can't be 100% sure.

Has this quest been available once yet?
It took like 8 Night fae assaults to get the first Just Don't Ask Me To Spell It.
I feel like this one is even worse off.
This quest is finally available on 10/1 for NA.
Throw the potion BEFORE you kill the guys. Remember to pick up runes off the ground. Overall pretty easy and straightforward.
If you don't turn the quest in you can still use the potion on other mobs in perdition hold if you need to complete other quests in there.

Description
The Jailer's troops use anima charged runes to empower their armor. Without those runes, the troops will be significantly weaker! I developed this special formula to remove tough laundry stains, but it should be capable of removing magical runes as well! Splash my Putrification Potion on Rune-hardened troops, the bigger the better! Then collect the runes that fall off, so I can extract their anima.
