Quests

Quests are server-side in Forever, so every line here is an answer the beta server gave a running client. The list grows as the beta is played rather than being complete today.

Hamuul Runetotem 16

Speak with Hamuul Runetotem

Turned in toHamuul Runetotem (named in the quest's summary)

Chainstep 1 of 3

The shells you brought me have a taint, one I have never before seen. I am certain the water of the Oases is the cause, and I can sense the confusion they cause this land. It is as if the land dreams and cannot awake.
The Wailing Caverns must be the source of the taint. But before you go there, speak with Hamuul Runetotem, the elder druid. I sent word to him of the happenings in the Barrens. He is wise, and can offer you counsel.
You will find him in Thunder Bluff, on the Elder Rise.

Pays 290 XP · Thunder Bluff +25
Nara Wildmane 16

Speak with Nara Wildmane.

Turned in toNara Wildmane (named in the quest's summary)

Chainstep 2 of 3

I entered the land of dreams, and dreamed of a cult of druids who dwell in the Wailing Caverns. I saw that their goals were once noble, but they have lost their way. They are now servants of the taint seeping through the Barrens.
I am old and my strength fails. I could not long dwell in that dreaming place and know little more of the tainted druids. But Nara is young and her spirit is fierce. She remained in the dreaming when I fled.
Speak with Nara. She is in the tent, over yonder.

Pays 120 XP · Thunder Bluff +10
Deviate Hides 17

Nalpak in the Wailing Caverns wants 20 Deviate Hides.

ObjectivesDeviate Hide ×20

As Naralex descended deeper into his nightmare, a strange breed of beasts arose from beneath the Barrens into the Wailing Caverns.
These deviate creatures have strange, otherworldly properties. While evil in nature, it is my opinion that some good can come from their existence here in Kalimdor. I believe their hides will be of particular use in the ways of leatherworking.
If you feel up to the task, venture into the caves below and retrieve some deviate hides.

Pays 18s
Serpentbloom 18

Apothecary Zamah in Thunder Bluff wants you to collect 10 Serpentbloom.

ObjectivesSerpentbloom ×10

The Royal Apothecary Society, based in the great Undercity of Lordaeron, has sent me here for a very specific service, <name>. Perhaps you wish to aid me, and in turn The Dark Lady in our efforts to advance the Forsaken.
Recently I studied a rare specimen of flora named Serpentbloom. I believe in greater quantities this herb has great potential.
Unfortunately Serpentbloom can only be found in the darkest recesses of the Wailing Caverns, a dangerous cave system located in the Barrens.

Pays 20s · Undercity +150
Smart Drinks 18

Bring 6 portions of Wailing Essence to Mebok Mizzyrix in Ratchet.

ObjectivesWailing Essence ×6

Turned in toCreature #3446

Ok, so the raptor horns didn't work so well. But that's all right -- no one got rich on their first try! And besides, I think I found something that'll work even better in my smart drinks!
There is a substance called Wailing Essence, and I think it is the cause of the strange plants and animals in the Barrens. Get me some and I'll try it in my drink!
I heard the essence gathers in ectoplasmic creatures in the Wailing Caverns to the west. Hunt those creatures and gather the essence.

Pays 10s · Ratchet +100
Trouble at the Docks 18

Crane Operator Bigglefuzz in Ratchet wants you to retrieve the bottle of 99-Year-Old Port from Mad Magglish who is hiding in the Wailing Caverns.

Objectives99-Year-Old Port

Oops!
Had a little mishap, as you can see! The morning cargo shipment from Booty Bay was huge. Huge I say! Never seen so many crates. Well, I was trying to expedite things so I started unloading a bit more than I could handle. That's when everything came tumbling down.
Before I knew what was going on, I saw that menace, Mad Magglish, go running off with a bottle of 99-year-old port. Chased him all the way to Wailing Caverns. No way I was going in there.
Maybe you're brave enough to find him?

Pays 10s · Ratchet +100
Deviate Eradication 21

Ebru in the Wailing Caverns wants you to kill 7 Deviate Ravagers, 7 Deviate Vipers, 7 Deviate Shamblers and 7 Deviate Dreadfangs.

ObjectivesDeviate Ravager ×7, Deviate Viper ×7, Deviate Shambler ×7, Deviate Dreadfang ×7

Naralex had a noble goal.
Our great leader aspired to enter the Emerald Dream and help regrow these harsh lands back into the lush forest it once was. But something went terribly wrong.
Naralex's dream turned into a nightmare and corrupt creatures began to inhabit the caverns.
While some Disciples of Naralex seek to awake our master, my concern is with ridding these caves of the evil beasts.
Brave the caverns, <name>, and eradicate the deviate spawn.

Pays 25s
Leaders of the Fang 22

Bring the Gems of Cobrahn, Anacondra, Pythas and Serpentis to Nara Wildmane in Thunder Bluff.

ObjectivesGem of Cobrahn, Gem of Anacondra, Gem of Pythas, Gem of Serpentis

Turned in toNara Wildmane (named in the quest's summary)

Chainstep 3 of 3

The druids in the Wailing Caverns, the Druids of the Fang, are an aberration. They were part of an order of noble druids whose plan was to heal the Barrens, but now seek to remake that land to match their own, twisted dreams.
The Druids of the Fang have four leaders, and each possesses a dream gem. Even now their faces haunt me! Defeat the leaders and bring me their gems, and the Barrens may again know peace.
Go, <name>. You will find them lurking deep within the Wailing Caverns.

Pays Thunder Bluff +150
The Glowing Shard 25

Travel to Ratchet to find the meaning behind the Nightmare Shard.

ObjectivesGlowing Shard

The shard is a brilliant green, and although solid, what looks like smoke swirls just below the surface. You can't help staring into the depths of the crystal; at the same time, you know there is something very disturbing about it.
Maybe you should see if anyone in Ratchet can tell you more about this strange shard.

Pays 2,550 XP
The Glowing Shard 26

Travel to Ratchet to find someone that can tell you more about the glowing shard. Then, deliver the shard as you are directed.
