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
I cannot begin to comprehend why the naga would drain the water out of their own habitat. What I do understand is a need to put a stop to their operations.
These seeds carry with them the rage of the earth. Take them to the steam pumps operated by the naga and use them on their controls.
The vines that grow from the seeds will be as thick as your arm and as strong as iron. Go, <name>. Restore the balance that the naga have upset.
Progress
Is it done, <class>?
Completion
It is done, then. The marsh has been saved for now.
Don't think for a second that this will be the last we hear of the naga. We must remain vigilant of our enemy as we continue with our mission in Outland.

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 (Zangarmarsh), 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.
