What to do
Bring the Withered Basidium to Reavij at Swamprat Post in Zangarmarsh.
The quest giver's words
A close inspection of the basidium reveals a number of indentations that might have once held something. The alien mass of fungus presents something of a puzzle. It's far from healthy, but you have little clue as to what function it might normally perform.
Perhaps someone more familiar with the denizens of Zangarmarsh would be able to tell you more about the basidium.
Progress
What is it you have there, <name>?
Completion
It looks like the basidium of a boglord, but I haven't seen one in this condition before. I'd heard that the giants in the Dead Mire had begun to wither, but it's far more advanced than I expected.
The Dead Mire was once a lake like the others in the marsh, and it served as the spawning ground for the giants. With the waters receding, it seems the changes are preventing the giants from sporing. If this continues, the giants may disappear entirely.
Category: Zangarmarsh.

By character level
Level Experience Share 60–67 10,050 100% 68 8,050 80% 69 6,050 60% 70 4,000 40% 71 2,000 20% 72–89 1,000 10% 90 none 60s 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 10,050 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 51 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills, typically 11,055 XP, done around level 63.
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.

Objectives, in the order players do them
No objective progress has been uploaded for this quest yet. Once somebody plays it with the addon on, the objectives and their hotspots appear here automatically.
Tips
No tips yet – they need a handful of runs before they say anything true.
