What to do
Search Serpent Lake for signs of a drain. Return to Ysiel Windsinger at the Cenarion Refuge with news of your discovery.
The quest giver's words
The schematics you've obtained show an underground system of drains and pumps that connect the lakes in the region to Serpent Lake.
If the schematics are correct, there is a giant drain in the center of Serpent Lake. Confirm this and bring the news to Cenarion Refuge.
Progress
What news do you bring, <name>?
Completion
The naga have turned Serpent Lake into a giant water sink for the rest of Zangarmarsh. What could they possibly be doing?
You've done well in bringing this news to us, <name>. We will send a team to investigate this drain you've discovered. I have a different task for you in the meanwhile.

By character level
Level Experience Share 59–68 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 10% 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.
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 h 22 min.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 11,440 XP, done around level 65.
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.
