Gnarled Thistleshrub slain (8)
  •  
Thistleshrub Rootshaper slain (8)

Description

Have you ever seen Thistleshrub Valley? It's a mighty dangerous place, <name>.

Those strange beasts there, I don't trust them for a minute! Gnarled thistleshrubs and thistleshrub rootshapers, that's what I think they were called...

Anyhow, I want to get into the valley, but with so many of those thistleshrubs around, there's no way I'm going back there. But here's where you come in -- if you clear some of them out, I just might think about going back. What do you think, <name>? Help me out?

Reward

Also, you get: 75

Progress

I'd like to take a closer look at that cactus in the valley... So leave some of it in one piece, will ya?

Completion

They're that big? I might have to rethink my plan...

But you did hold up your end of the bargain, so here's what I promised.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 470 experience (28 20 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Gadgetzan

You should pick up the ""The Thirsty Goblin"" quest in addition to this (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2605 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2605), since they pair nicely.

The quest is very easy, The Thistleshrubs can be be found south west in Tanaris.

You should definitely do this with 'The Thirsty Goblin' because you're going to be killing the Thistleshrub Dew Collectors (which drop the Laden Dew Gland needed) anyway.

A good place to kill the lot of them would be 28,68.

Easily done with a Level 47 Rogue with decent armor and wep. Watch out for moving patrols while fighting

Editing to answer my own question: These mobs are NOT immune, nor even particularly resistant, to Nature damage (nor are the Dew Collectors for the Thirsty Goblin quest). Didn't get a single Resist after spamming Lightning Bolts at them.

As an Elemental Shaman I often just skip quests involving standard elemental mobs. Without Lightning Bolt/Chain Lightning I have to be skillful and stuff. Challenges are for suckers.
