Tracking the Trackers

Tracking the Trackers is a quest for level 45. It is step 2 of 3 in the Legion Alchemy storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Krokuun at 56.1, 66.7.

Description

<name>, have I told you about my tracking potion? Our scouts use it to track demons, especially their "fiends".

Those particular creatures tend to consume the astral glory in the area, making it difficult to replenish our stores of the herb.

If you could help thin their numbers out, it would greatly help us from having to search elsewhere for supplies. You can find many of them in the Annihilan Pits.

I could also teach you the recipe for this potion for your effort.

Rewards

You will receive:

Spell: Recipe: Tears of the NaaruTeaches you how to create Tears of the Naaru (Rank 1).

Ok for anyone that is looking for the astral healing potion recipe for the mage tower (or any other reason)
Here are the brief steps that should help
1. this is on Argus, knowing that there are some things you must do
a. have you been to argus on another character, if so this will be easier, go to Legion Dalaran and Violet Citadel and talk to Khadgar he will have a quest
Hand of Fate - that should get you started
b. Have not been to argus, I then recommend you read
comprehensive argus guide on here
2. Once you accept hand of fate, use portal to Org (horde)
[url=https://www.wowhead.com/quest=47221/the-hand-of-fate]hand of fate
go to bladefist bay outside of Org and accept that quest
It will complete the intro to argus (its not long)
3. Complete a couple other easy quests
There is a great list on the hand of fate page linked above
4. keep going until you finish
rendezvous (should take about 15 mins at high level)
5. now you should have the hovel opened up, which should reveal
alchemist-funen
he is sitting on a little hill, use your /target alch if you cant find him
6. He will now offer you two quests
tracking-the-trackers
limited-supplies
7. once you have completed those and he offers you
ascending-alchemy
you will now have access to buy his two recipes
you do NOT have to complete the alchemy stone quest, just abandon it
8. Buy the recipes from him

That is every comment on this page.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Limited SuppliesLevel 45
Hello, <name>. It's good to see a fellow alchemist again. I've been supplying our camp with necessary potions to deal with the demons, but lately I've been running low on supplies. Normally when scouting parties go out, they return with empty vials, but as of late fewer have been returning.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Ascending AlchemyLevel 45
I've seen other alchemists come through our camp carrying interesting looking trinkets. I believe they refer to them as... "alchemist stones"? I can sense the power they radiate, but they appear fel-tainted. The herb that grows on this planet is particularly good at cleansing corruption.
