What to do
Speak to Serge Hinott at the Ruins of Southshore in Hillsbrad Foothills.
The quest giver's words
Before my capture and imprisonment, I was stationed at Southshore. My primary job at the ruins was to take slime samples and make sure that the blight that we released was safely dissipating. Simple and easy if not for the worgen that would continuously harass us.
I need you to head to Southshore and find my apprentice, Serge Hinott. Make sure that he's ok and inform him that I will return once my work here has concluded.
You'll find the Ruins of Southshore to the southeast, near the coast.
Completion
The worgen situation hasn't gotten any better and Helcular is really creeping me out.

What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

at level 27 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 20–27 440 100% 28 350 80% 29 260 60% 30 170 40% 31 85 20% 32–89 45 10% 90 none 2s 70c more money 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.
The listed figures and the players here disagree, so both are shown rather than one picked.
- Experience: players were paid 65% more than the 440 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
Timings

Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 726 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.
- pick up
- turn in
- where players die – not published yet
Where they happened is shown once at least 5 characters from at least two different people have done this quest (now 1 from 1): unlike the route, a death spot is about the player, not the quest.
- Pick up
