What to do

StorylineThe Mantid Threat, step 9 of 9
Rewards2g 34s, 850 XP

Description

The mantid have been corrupting their kypari trees to imbue their amber with power from N'Zoth. The swarm is enough of a menace on its own. N'Zoth could transform them into something even more dire. The Shado-Pan need to hear about this. I suggest you bring this information to your other allies as well.

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.
