Think of the Critters

Think of the Critters is a quest for level 60 in Korthia, added in Shadowlands. It rewards 1 reputation reward.

Description

The wildlife of Korthia have been through so much. Some of them can't seem to find enough to eat.

I've saved some extra food that we can share with them.

But I'm worried that they might be too shy to trust us, and I don't blame them!

Here. Take these treats and see if you can get close enough to them to feed them properly. Even small creatures are so important.

Update: Since this comment was posted some fixes where made that makes it less tedious of a chore. Critters are now less likely to run away when you feed them and other players passing by while feeding them no longer causes them to run away.
---------------------------------------
This quest is an convoluted mess.

What you're supposed to do is:


  • Throw food using the quest item at a distance to get the critter's attention (get too close and the creature runs away).

  • Once you have the critter's attention (noticable by the Wary debuff), get a bit closer until you see a action button

  • Keep throwing food using the action button (about 4-8 times till the bar is filled up)

  • While doing so kill any mobs that appear as quickly as possible before the critter runs away (killing the mobs also advances the bar a bit)

But the randomness of the timing when the critters run away make this a very convoluted and tedious endavour.
The distance at which they are scared away also seems to vary a bit, and sometimes they are scared away by other players running past the critter you are trying to feed.

Another very badly designed Korthia quest to add to the already pretty long list

How to do this quest:
1. Accept quest
2. Abandon quest immediately
3. Celebrate that you didn't spend your time spouting profanities for a small amount of rep

This is a terrible design for a quest or it's just buggy as hell.

The idea is to feed the little grommit and let it "get full" by spamming your extra action button (toss treats).

It sounds easy enough, however, they will disappear if you get too close, they will disappear if someone runs near it while you are trying to get closer, they disappear when the razorwings come down, or they just disappear for no apparent reason.....

I spent over 45 min and never got a single one. The other issue is that as a healer I can't insta-kill the razorwings so the grommits tend to run off after two seconds. And you can't feed them while killing the razorwings so I was never able to get one full.
