Description

The furbolg are more numerous than we expected in these southern regions. They have also been far more aggressive here than we would like.

With our resources divided between hunting down elves and harvesting much-needed lumber, that leaves you to help me put an end to our furbolg distraction.

I have research to conduct here. In the meantime, I need you to take a more hands-on approach. Bring me the ears of nearby furbolg as proof to Tarkan that the problem is being dealt with.

The respawn rate on the furblogs is way too low given how few there are. 15min of waiting, still no love.

The foulweald corpses just north of silverwind are scenery masquerading as mobs, they will never respawn. Head east of them for the actual mobs. The in game quest helper is a little inaccurate in its placing of the blue area markers sometimes.
