What to do
Bring the Flourishing Protector back to the hill in the center of Irontree Woods.
The quest giver's words
It is time to say goodbye now. You have raised me from a seedling, brief though it was, but now I must rejoin the forest.
Take me back to the hill you found me on. There I will set my roots, and grow in the shadow of the ancients that came before me.
What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

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 7,850 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
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 60 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 8,635 XP, done around level 51.
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 (Felwood), 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.
