What to do
Chief Plaguebringer Middleton at Venomspite in Dragonblight wants you to collect 8 Emerald Dragon Tears.
Objective by objective
- Collect Emerald Dragon Tear item #37124
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
With an inert specimen of the blight compound complete and the activating agent in hand there only remains a need for a suitable shell to house the components.
Southwest of here, on the shores of central Dragonblight, is where you will find the Emerald Dragonshrine. Within the shrine you will find the hardened remnants of a green dragon's tear drop. I don't know the whole story, but apparently they cry a lot right before they die. Go figure.
Go to the Emerald Dragonshrine and gather tears.
Progress
Fortunate it is that we have a location nearby holding a surplus of emerald dragon tears. I would have had to send you to Feralas otherwise.
Completion
I do believe that the blight is now ready for a field test. Fortuitously, the dread citadel, Naxxramas, is laying siege to Wintergarde Keep. From beneath the very earth that Wintergarde was built upon rise the living dead, eager to do the bidding of Kel'Thuzad.
The Alliance are, of course, outmanned and outgunned. The people laid to rest in the Wintergarde Mausoleum awaken, hungering for flesh!
Perhaps we shall give them a taste of the blight, yes?

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 (Dragonblight), 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.
