The Spade's Blade

The Spade's Blade is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 4 of 6 in the Legion Herbalism storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dalaran at 43.0, 33.3. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

Did you notice the script along the base of the handle, <name>? It says "Herbalist Tharillon," in the writing of the nightborne.

The handle does little for us, but perhaps the blade of this spade will give us some information on how to harvest the starlight rose without failing quite so often.

I would start my search for it in Suramar.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Jeweled Spade HandleLevel 10-45
An immaculately carved spade handle lies beside the rose. Apparently the spade was more beautiful than it was durable, as the blade has completely fallen off. Your herbalism trainer may be interested in seeing this.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Insane RamblingsLevel 10-45
Scribbled, angry phrases on a dirty scrap of vellum. One part catches your eye: "thinks HE knows how to gather herbs <name><name> <name><name> steal my blade slit his THROAT when I just need a bit more mana maybe aethril, yes..." Your herbalism trainer may be interested in seeing this.
