What to do

Speak to Apprentice Meledor in Eversong Woods along the road heading south from Silvermoon City.

The quest giver's words

You, there! You must help me, please!

A fellow apprentice and I were attacked by the Wretched! In their mad hunger for magic, they took everything they could get their hands on: mana crystals, wands, spellbooks... everything!

Meledor gave chase after them; I had to stay behind and look after what they didn't take. Continue down the road and see if you can lend him a hand.

Completion

They're gone now. Scared the breeches out of them with a well-placed fireball! Unfortunately for me, they threw our precious cargo into the river.

Category: Eversong Woods.

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: 60 experience (median of 1 run), no money (median of 1 run).

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

  • Experience: players were paid 9% more than the 55 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

Observed, not a fact about the game: 1 completed run behind the medians, 1 recorded attempt in total.
32 s median time (accept → turn in) from 1 run

Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.

32 s fastest recorded run slowest 32 s

Same 1 run; mean 32 s.

1 / 1 turned in / attempted nobody abandoned it

Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.

0.0 deaths per attempt 0 deaths in total

0 tracked kills, typically 60 XP, done around level 6.

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.
