What to do
Take Old Man Thistle's Almanac to Seedkeeper Shing Sing at Halfhill in the Valley of the Four Winds.
The quest giver's words
At the very bottom of the treasure chest, you find a stack of scrolls and a soft leather sack with seeds.
Unrolling the scrolls, you see they contain detailed farming notes, drawings of plants, numbers and calculations, locations of nearby water springs, and countless other snippets.
There might be someone at the Tillers Union who would like to see this.
Progress
What do you have there?
Completion
Ah yes, I know the story of Old Man Thistle quite well, <race>.
There are all sorts of crazy tales about his quest for treasure.
But the truth of the matter is that he was a bit of a recluse, a bit eccentric, and an excellent farmer.
As he grew near the end of his life, he retreated up into the mountains and was never seen again.
He was just a man, and it seems that you have found his legacy.
But don't tell Fish the truth. Some stories are best left tall in the telling.

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 (Cavern of Endless Echoes), 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.
