Description

The mantid don't ever make my job easy, but now they've gone too far.

We can fend off the occasional attack from Kor'vess, but now... now they're starting to surround us. What's worse, they're draining the amber from our tree.

This will not stand! We need that amber! To make beer!

They've dug a burrow into the south side of the tree. I'm short-handed here. Could you take care of them for me?

Where to go

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.

  • Falling to PiecesDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    Why would the saurok have amber? More importantly, why would Oracle Hiss'ir be so protective of it? It is unlikely this came from the heavily guarded Zan'vess, so where did it come from? Perhaps the Klaxxi will know what to make of it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sacred RecipeDread Wastes · Level 30-35

    "When the horror comes a-rising And the heavens hum with war Our great vessel of salvation Must be broken from its core." The scroll continues on for several stanzas. Perhaps somebody at The Sunset Brewgarden will be able to decipher its cryptic message.
