FPS issues in Dappled Hollow


Zoom all in to improve FPS issues, focus on mobs that are further away from this NPC. BE PATIENT! If you get to 1 FPS, wait and move slowly so WoW doesn't crash.
Kill satyrs for their horn, destroy 3 totems and QUICKLY deliver this quest and grab the next one:


THIS is the FPS issue. The closer you are to this asset the lower your FPS will be. Once again, be patient. Have your mouse hovered the burning item and move slowly towards the roots.
All you need to do is manage to burn it, wait and don't click anything else or WoW might crash. Even if you see your character spaced out atop nothing, don't keep clicking.
After a while the roots will be destroyed and you can fly away and deliver it to Mayruna (/way #680 25.8 31.0 Mayruna Moonwing).

Take this torch, {name}. We cannot reverse the Nightmare corruption once it has taken hold. All we can hope to do is destroy its manifestations. Incinerate the root. Only then can we rest easy in Suramar.

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.

    I cannot, will not, accept what is happening here. My body resists me, but I will stop this. <He looks at you.> You will stop this. Here is a root of the corrupted World Tree Shaladrassil.
