An Orphan Looking For a Home

Speak to Quentin in Thousand Needles.
Unhatched Sprite Darter Egg
Provided Item:
Unhatched Sprite Darter Egg

Description

Oh, hello, <name>. I'm so glad to see you again. How was your trip to Darnassus?

Well, you'll be happy to know that we've made quite a bit of progress while you've been gone. We even saved a nest full of eggs. Unfortunately, the mother died before we got to her.

Say, would you want one for a pet? They look to hatch soon, so they'll need a good father. What do you say?

If you're really interested, take one of the eggs to Quentin at the race tracks in Shimmering Flats. He'll tell you more.

Progress

Why hello, <class>.

Don't let my location fool you, I'm really not here for the races... as entertaining as they may be.

I'm actually here in Thousand Needles investigating all I can to find out how salvageable the land is. It has become my crusade of sorts to revitalize and replenish the area with new, fertile soil. Perhaps I'll find there's a water source nearby.

Tell me you haven't noticed how odd the transition between Feralas and Thousand Needles is. Strange magic was afoot when that happened.

Completion

Ah, a sprite darter egg, and one near maturation, if I'm not mistaken. Remarkable you've found one, let alone in this good a condition. They're rarely seen in Feralas these days. I understand there were various poachers in the area trying to capture and kill them for many reasons. Too bad really... such beautiful creatures when they reach adulthood.

How did you come across such a find?

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 105 experience (6 30 at max. level)
  • 25 Reputation with Darnassus

You need to complete the quest Freedom for All Creatures (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2969 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2969) to start this quest.

If you go do this quest, you might wanna bring 2 Elixirs of Fortitude right away. Quentin will ask for those for the next part.

I don't think any other companion pet has a quest chain as nice and memorable as the Sprite Darter Hatchling -- it is actually quite fun to have to nurture the fragile egg and feed the little critter before it becomes your pet... much more interesting than just buying a pet from the Auction House!

The full list of quests directly linked to the sprite darter:

Section 1
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2969 Freedom for All Creatures
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2970 Doling Justice
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=2972 Doling Justice (yes, both quests have the same name)

Be sure to pick up https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=3825 Elixir of Fortitudex2 while in Darnassus - you will need them for Quentin.

Section 2
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3841 An Orphan Looking For a Home
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3842 A Short Incubation

Make sure that you have the necessary flight points/hearth location to quickly reach the Hinterlands for the first quest in this section; you will only have one hour.

Section 3
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=3843 The Newest Member of the Family
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4297 Food for Baby
https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=4298 Becoming a Parent

This isn't a proper guide, as there are already excellent guides for this chain that exist out there, but merely a clean list of quest links.
