The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.
The quest giver's words
These are difficult times for us, <name>. It was a very hard decision to burn the woods bordering the Ghostlands to prevent the Scourge's expansion.
The treants, who have been our friends for years, are now trying to foster the regrowth of the forest along the Scorched Grove.
This is a painful thing to ask of you, <class>, but we've failed to convince our former allies to cease their endeavors. I need you to stop them by the only means that remain to us: force.
Progress
I dread to ask, <name>... is the task done?
Completion
So, it is done. Curse these times that have driven us to desperate measures... and curse our enemy, the Scourge!
Learn this, <name>. Our lands must be protected, no matter what the cost. We shall prevail!

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 775 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 3 min 20 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
10 tracked kills, typically 852 XP, done around level 10.
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 (Eversong Woods), 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.
