Description

<class>, I've got an idea. I want you to head north again, this time into the heart of ogre territory!

Northwest of the Hewn Bog there is a place named Ango'rosh Stronghold, which sits on a floating island across a large mushroom bridge.

The ogres must be storing the harvested mushrooms there. I bet you'll find them all over the place, and probably on the ogres themselves, too!

Bring me a sufficient number and I will try to do something about providing the bog lords with a new source of nourishment.

Mushroom boxes are both a drop and actual boxes that you can loot. When looted the box beware of a 64 mob that will spawn and attack you. When you turn this quest in, Leesa'oh heads east and plants a large mushroom. There is no additional reward or quest, I do not see any reason to follow her unless you're interested in those aspects of the game.

@Ravus For me, that is what happened the first time I did the quest. The second time, she walked out there, cast the spell, and then the mushroom grew huge. However, instead of thanking her/turning-friendly, the bog lord attacked and killed her. XD

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Familiar FungiZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    Yes, that's it, I knew I had seen this particular phylum of mushroom elsewhere in the marsh! To the north is a place known as the Hewn Bog. Odd name for the place if you ask me, but I've never been there. I'll need samples of those mushrooms to confirm my hypothesis. Just be careful, <class>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sporelings' PlightZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    You there! You must help us! The fungal giants are devouring all of our spore sacs! You must do something, or we'll lose our young! The spore sacs start out large and become smaller as the air inside them is depleted. Look for the small, mature spore sacs and save as many of them as you can!
