Lake Creeper Moss (6)
Hardened Tumor

Description

According to Berard's Journal the moss from Lake Skulkers and Creepers might prove useful for our quest to brew a new plague. Those beasts dwell on the islands in Lake Lordamere to the east.

He also mentions a very rare Hardened Tumor that he discovered on a Vile Fin murloc. Apparently the tumor is so rare Berard was only able to obtain one.

Collect samples of the moss as well as the rare hardened tumor and take them to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Undercity.

Reward

You can choose one of these awards:
Nightglow Concoction
Acidproof Cloak
You will receive:
Elixir of Minor FortitudeSwiftness Potion

Progress

What brings you back to the Undercity, <name>?

Completion

Such a blow to the Royal Apothecary Society to lose Berard. But through your hard work and Apothecary Renferrel's diligent research Berard's studies will still be useful to The Dark Lady's plight.

We are on the cusp of something great here, <name>. If you were not so skilled in the ways of combat I would try to recruit you for membership in the Society.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 205 experience (12 30 at max. level)
  • 500 Reputation with Undercity

The Lake Creepers &amp; Skulkers are both on the chain of islands to the East of Fenris Isle. Skulkers on the southern two, Creepers on the Northern two.

The droprate for Skulker Moss isn't bad at all, but the Creeper Moss is a very low droprate. Expect to kill quite a few of these guys before you get what you need.

Even though the quest says the Hardened Tumor is extremely rare, I got it on my first kill. The Vile Fin Murlocs are all up and down the East coast of these islands.

The fact that the tumor is mentioned as ""rare"" three times in the quest text should say everything.

The drop rate for the creepers is about 30-35%, but the loot for me was incredible, about 9-10s worth each on average.

Rare tumor? Fine. I found one on around my tenth kill. But the creepers and stalkers kept teasing me just for a few handfuls of moss. After I was getting sick of killing five of them in a row and not finding a single one, I finally picked up my last four in a row.

Listen to them! ... They're laughing at me.

These things do the terribly annoying Moss Covered Hands debuff, which makes you drop your weapon at random. Lasts 3 minutes, too.

But about that tumor... You only get one for the quest. If it doesn't drop immediately, it shouldn't be any surprise, since you only need one.
