Objectives Edit

Obtain 5 Crystal Vials, 5 Arcane Powder, and 5 Blood Nettle.

•  [Crystal Vial] (5)
•  [Arcane Powder] (5)
•  [Blood Nettle] (5)

DescriptionEdit

I'd be wary of anyone identifying himself as the rightful owner of the crate and its contents. He didn't warn you of the danger?

Here's a better idea: let's work together to recover the crate and ensure that its contents can't hurt anyone. To protect ourselves, we're going to need a draught made from a few ingredients that can be found around the city.

Buy some arcane powder from a reagent merchant, get vials from an alchemy merchant, and pick some blood nettle from the fields^{[52.2, 5.4]}

north of the city.

ProgressEdit

Did you get all the ingredients?

CompletionEdit

Sometimes, I think I should've followed my father into alchemy.

This concoction should protect us from the worst effects of carrying or handling the crate. Bottoms up!

Rewards Edit

You will receive:

• 250 reputation with Stormwind

NotesEdit

• For the Powder and Vials, it seems Keldric Boucher at Pestle's Apothecary^{[62.8, 74.8]}
  

  
  in the Trade District is the closest.
• Those with  Herbalism can track the Blood Nettle on their minimaps.
