Objective by objective
- Collect Aloe Thistle item #49140
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
No one knows better than the Cenarion Circle that this lush oasis could dry up as quickly as it appeared.
We must take care not to interfere with the processes taking place here, but to support and preserve them,
A new species of plant, very plentiful in the surrounding region, has appeared since the great change.
Collect samples of these for me, that I might study them and learn what they have to teach us,
Progress
Have you collected the samples I require?
Completion
These are fine specimens, <race>.
I shall commence my studies immediately.
Category: Desolace.
What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
No item reward.
- Money
- 30s
- and 16s 20c more at level 90, the level cap, in place of the experience
- Experience
- 2,700
-
at level 37 or lower; less above
By character level

A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 2,700 listed. An experience bonus (heirlooms, a guild perk) pays more; a character well above the quest's level earns less.

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 2 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 2 runs by 1 player – 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 available
- 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 2) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 1 from 1) 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 (Desolace), 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.
