What to do
Bring the Filled Gahrron's Withering Bottle to Shadow Priestess Vandis at the Bulwark, Western Plaguelands.
The quest giver's words
You carefully close the spigot in the control panel, watching the cauldron's putrid ichors drip into the empty bottle.
With the poison in hand, it is time to return to Shadow Priestess Vandis at the Bulwark to complete the mission.
Progress
Gahrron's Withering houses the last cauldron that we need to acquire access to here in the west. Once we have a sample of the plague from that cauldron, we will be able to introduce our reagents into the environment through four separate vessels! The Scourge will be hard pressed to keep us out of all four, even with the power of Kel'Thuzad behind them.
Completion
Congratulations <name>, you've unlocked the last cauldron for us! Apothecary Dithers will soon know what this cauldron requires as far as reagents needed for the mix.
As for you, I am sure that High Executor Derrington will want to thank you personally for the assistance you've given us. Without you, our struggle against the Scourge would have been nearly insurmountable. I thank you, mighty <class>.

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 (Western Plaguelands), 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.
