True, they are hard to see. You can type "/tar par" (without the quotes) and it will highlight them for you.

Oh no! Some o' the snakes are having trouble adapting. They aren't drinkin' as much as they should an' are dehydrated. Quick, {name}. Take this waterin' can and give 'em a good dousing.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Mossy BedsThe Oasis · Level 80
I've put together the rocks an' the moss that ye collected in Nagrand. Now it's time to see if the snakes like 'em. I spread 'em out around the eco-dome so you could test 'em out for differences. While you're doing that, I'll make preparations for getting 'em all to the Oasis.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Ophidian PortationThe Oasis · Level 80
Our tests are successful! Time to move to the Oasis. Ve'nari gave me these "portation" devices to quickly get the snakes o'er there. Why don't you take care o' Ember and Indigo, and I'll take care o' the rest? They've been giving me the side-eye ever since I moved 'em here.
