Collect 30 Root Samples.

•  [Corrupted Root Sample] (30)

Description

The massive roots of Shaladrassil are spreading a horrible corruption throughout the forest.

If we are to save Val'sharah, we will need to find a way to stop the encroachment of the world tree.

If you bring me enough corrupted root samples, I may be able to discover their secrets.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 15 40
• 14,800 XP
• +150 reputation with Dreamweavers

Progress

Have you collected the root samples yet?

Completion

It is as I feared, <race>. This corruption is... irreversible.

Our only course of action is to somehow find a way to fight it at its source.

Notes

Completion

Isoraen Nightstar says: Shaladrassil... it cannot... it must not be true!
