What to do

Speak with Witch Doctor Mau'ari at the Snowden Chalet in Winterspring.

The quest giver's words

When this creature died, some sort of energy was released from its body. The energy was passed on to you, and now you feel somewhat stronger.

According to Winterspring locals, Witch Doctor Mau'ari at the Snowden Chalet is an expert in the wildlife of the area. She might know something about this mysterious energy.

Completion

What's dis? You got de smell of de E'ko on ya! Let Mau'ari tell ya a little bit about de E'ko and what it do.

You're lucky, <race>. De E'ko searched you out. A troll like me's gotta go find de E'ko herself.

All de creatures of Winterspring have E'ko. De furbolg, de chillwind, de shardtooth... even de Ice Thistle yeti! You kill dese creatures, and sometimes, a bit of E'ko comes out. Different creatures... different E'ko.

Go on now. Go find de other E'ko!

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: 9,680 experience (median of 1 run), 1g 50s (median of 1 run).

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

  • Experience: players were paid 10% more than the 8,800 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

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 (Winterspring), 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.
