This quest was the last I needed for the ranks of herb picking. I have picked many many foxflowers with no luck. I was surprised today that the quest popped up..... after picking a fel-encrusted herb in the Broken Shore. It turned out to be a foxflower in disguise. Who knew. Just letting you know that's possible. Good luck all!
Day 367. Still looking.

Description
As you finish gathering the foxflower, a particular part of the bloom catches your eye. One of the leaves has a small protuberance, right where it meets the stem. Further investigation suggests that this is where the foxflower's unusual smell comes from. Your herbalism trainer would be interested in seeing this.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chase the Culprit
This is a powerful herb, <name>. Creatures will occasionally snack on some simpler herbs, but usually they avoid plants of such potency. I'm intrigued. What kind of animal would eat foxflower? A moose? You should investigate further.
