I just wanted to mention that if your character has herbalism, you will be able to see the Marrowpetal and Xavren's Thorn on your mini map if you have Find Herbs activated. The Briny Sea Cucumbers are in the water, and although you "collect" them like an herb, they will not appear on your mini map.

What to do

StorylineTirisfal Glades, step 3 of 36
RewardsPumpkin Bag, Marrowpetal Boots, Xavren's Gauntlets, 10g 50s, 3,100 XP

Description

These pumpkins have a purpose, {class}. They'll be the delivery mechanism for my latest batch of plague, which should be a particularly painful and virulent concoction. However, the plague requires a few rare ingredients. We'll need Marrowpetals, which grow at the bottom of Stillwater Pond, just to the east of here. We'll also need Xavren's thorn, which grows on rocky cliffs to the northwest. Finally, we need some briny sea cucumbers, found in the surf off of Whispering Shore.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
