The quest giver's words
Something strange has changed the teromoths of the thicket.
Where once there was a diversity of life in there, now only the teromoths remain. And while before they were at peace, now they are agitated and will not hesitate to attack you should you get close.
I need to compare the vicious ones to the normal. Collect for me a number of samples from both. You'll find the unaffected teromoths both to the south and the north.
I'm certain this is related to whatever killed all of the druids.
Progress
Do you have my samples?
Completion
Odd. The samples from the vicious teromoths are infused with what feels to me to be pure mana.
It would seem that whatever caused all of this death also left behind that strong field of residual energy. But for some reason the teromoths were not killed by it; instead being driven into an agitated state.
It seems apparent that this strange energy is the by-product of whatever attacked the thicket.
Category: Terokkar Forest.
What you need
Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.
The reward
No item reward.
- Money

-
at level 68 or lower; less above
By character level
Level Experience Share 62–68 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 12 min 31 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
30 tracked kills, typically 11,440 XP, done around level 64.
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 (Terokkar Forest), 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.
