The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
According to Berard's Journal the moss from Lake Skulkers and Creepers might prove useful for our quest to brew a new plague. Those beasts dwell on the islands in Lake Lordamere to the east.
He also mentions a very rare Hardened Tumor that he discovered on a Vile Fin murloc. Apparently the tumor is so rare Berard was only able to obtain one.
Collect samples of the moss as well as the rare Hardened Tumor and take them to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Undercity.
Progress
What brings you back to the Undercity, <name>?
Completion
Such a blow to the Royal Apothecary Society to lose Berard. But through your hard work and Apothecary Renferrel 's diligent research Berard's studies will still be useful to The Dark Lady's plight.
We are on the cusp of something great here, <name>. If you were not so skilled in the ways of combat I would try to recruit you for membership in the Society.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Silverpine Forest), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
