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
A <race> mage! How wonderous. I have not seen one of your kind for... oh what is it going on now? 500 years!
I have something that will quench your thirst, but first you must do a task for me.
<Lydros snickers.>
There is an anomaly in Eldre'Thalas. A water elemental has taken residence in the east wing. His presence must be catalogued!
Venture to the Warpwood Quarter and extract a portion of the elemental essence of the Hydrospawn. Return it to me and I shall teach you a useful cantrip.
Progress
Yes? Do I know you?
Completion
Wonderful! Who are you again? Oh it matters not. What was I supposed to give you? Hrm... well you are a <class>, perhaps you will find this useful.

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 (Dire Maul - Gordok Commons), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. There is no zone artwork here – the grid lines are tenths of the map.
