Sporicide

Sporicide is a quest for level 30-40 in Spires of Arak. It is step 8 of 14 in the Pinchwhistle Gearworks storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Spires of Arak at 58.8, 92.8. It rewards 5,450 experience and money.

Description

It's revolting, absolutely disgusting, infuriating even!

I'm talking about seeing those spore creatures walking around Pinchwhistle Point.

While I'm working on the machine here how about you go out and kill off some of those spore creatures? I'll feel a bit better knowing there are less of those things moving around.
