What to do

Collect 8 Wyrmtail stalks in the Dragonmurk or Wyrmbog.

Objective by objective

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 the zeppelin crash delaying supplies, we've run out of medicines and bandages.

We're making use of what we can, but between all the insects, the injuries, and the enemies we're encountering here, I can barely keep up! I've found one herb that seems to help heal wounds and dull pain, but it, too, is in short supply.

It's called wyrmtail, and it's abundant in the Dragonmurk and Wyrmbog areas east of town. The plants themselves are made of coiled stalks, and seem to pulsate when you look at them.

Progress

Did you find any of the wyrmtail?

Completion

Thank you! This will help keep our guys going out in the field until Moxie returns with the rest of the supplies from the zeppelin crash.

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 (Dustwallow Marsh), 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.
