What to do
Plant a Fungal Culture near the Stagnant Oasis and observe the results.
The quest giver's words
I've cultured these unusual spores you dug up with a most magnificent cocktail of... reagents... that I'm fond of. I'm eager to see how my manipulated spores react to the waters of the Crossroads oases.
The Stagnant Oasis to the southeast should provide us an uncontaminated site for our experiment. Simply plant this culture in the moist soil anywhere near the oasis, and document the results for me.
Be sure to cover your mouth, <class>.
<Helbrim grins disarmingly.>
Completion
Explosive spore clouds? You don't say... tell me more. Choking? Stinging? Burning of the eyes? Was there itching? Nausea? Mortification? Delightful, DELIGHTFUL! You've certainly earned your commission, <name>.
That skin rash of yours should pass in a day or two.

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 (The Barrens), 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.
