What to do

Find Johnny "Jenny" Awesome at the Sludge Fields in Hillsbrad Foothills.

The quest giver's words

It was only yesterday that I sent him out to investigate the farm directly east of here, but it feels like an eternity has passed!

True perfection. The way his blond locks framed his perfect blood elf face... Such strength. I didn't want to send him away, but he insisted! How could I refuse him?

Alas, poor Johnny Awesome has not returned! I fear the worst, <name>. Find him!

Completion

<Johnny is sobbing loudly.>

Tw... Twinkles!!!! Th... It killed her!

<Johnny continues to cry>

The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.

Observed, what players here were paid: 1,361 experience (median of 1 run), no money (median of 1 run).

The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.

  • Experience: players were paid 65% more than the 825 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.

This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.

How precise this guide is

Early guide Built from 1 run 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 1) not yet
  • Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) 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

Timings

Observed, not a fact about the game: 1 completed run behind the medians, 1 recorded attempt in total.
43 s median time (accept → turn in) from 1 run

Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.

43 s fastest recorded run slowest 43 s

1 / 1 turned in / attempted nobody abandoned it

Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.

0.0 deaths per attempt 0 deaths in total

0 tracked kills, typically 1,361 XP, done around level 23.

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 (Hillsbrad Foothills), 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.
