So if you get this quest like I did (someone shared it w/me in a bg), abandon it because it's pointless and there's nowhere to turn it in.
PS. Even though this site says it's not available anymore, my entire Ashran bg was able to get it bc someone shared it. Way to go Blizz.

Description
So, {class}, did I already tell you about all of the fabulous uses stranglekelp has? I did? Oh well... in any case we need a lot of it, and when I say a lot, I mean A LOT! Do you think that you could help us out? I know that it means going without all of those wonderful things that you can make with it, but it's for a good cause!

Someone shared the quest with me and I have the herbs. There is a "?" in the Military Ward, but there is no way to find the NPC. Ah well.

Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
