Objectives Edit

Bring the Filled Dalson's Tears Bottle to Shadow Priestess Vandis at the Bulwark, Western Plaguelands.

•  [Filled Dalson's Tears Bottle] (Provided)

Description Edit

You carefully fill the bottle with enough of the cauldron's ichors for what you consider to be suitably sized sample.

With the poison in hand, it is time to return to Shadow Priestess Vandis at the Bulwark to complete the mission.

Rewards Edit

You will receive: 85

Progress Edit

We know that each cauldron employs a different mix of reagents to generate its plague-inducing toxin; likewise, we know that we will need to develop a counter agent that is unique for each cauldron. Your sample from Dalson's Tears will be the key to figure out that cauldron's distinct reagent requirement.

Completion Edit

Ah, there is plenty in here for study. Well done, <name>!

For now, the next step is in our hands. We'll need to produce a list of reagents that, when combined with what is already in the cauldron, will act as its counter.

The only way we will be able to introduce this is by placing the reagents into the cauldron directly. Apothecary Dithers will have more information on that, so be sure to speak with him as soon as possible.
