What to do
Investigate the cause of the water depletion at Umbrafen Lake. Then return to Ysiel Windsinger at the Cenarion Refuge in Zangarmarsh.
The quest giver's words
We came to Outland expecting to find small pockets of life. What we discovered in Zangarmarsh was a lush environment with a thriving ecosystem.
Our initial assessment of the area was deceiving, however. The water levels at the lakes and marshes have consistently been going down since we started taking measurements.
The impact this could have on the local animal and plant life is disastrous. Go to Umbrafen Lake, southwest of here, and look for clues related to this water depletion.
Progress
Did you discover anything, <name>?
Completion
The naga are behind this! But why? From what you describe, that steam pump must be part of the cause for the water levels dropping in the marsh!
No matter - this explains their open hostility towards us. Let's not waste any time, I need you to perform another task for us.

By character level
Level Experience Share 61–68 10,400 100% 69 8,300 80% 70 6,250 60% 71 4,150 40% 72 2,100 20% 73–89 1,050 10% 90 none 63s 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 10,400 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

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 (Zangarmarsh), 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.
