The Cliffspring River

Travel north of Auberdine to the first waterfall along the Cliffspring River and draw a sample from the pool there.

Return to Thundris Windweaver in Auberdine with the Cliffspring River Sample.
Cliffspring River Sample
Provided Item:
Empty Sampling Tube

Description

The Cliffspring River has begun turning foul and corrupted. It empties into the Mist's Edge, and I fear the wash will affect Auberdine soon. I suspect the Blackwood furbolgs up-river are the cause of the taint, but I also suspect that they aren't the true root of it.

Take this sampling tube and go to the mouth of the river to our north. Proceed inland to the first waterfall and draw a sample from the pool there. You'll see a bridge overhead. Once you have a sample, return to me in Auberdine.

Progress

The pollution of the Cliffspring River is but the start of an alarming trend here in Darkshore. The sample you provide will help us formalize a plan... a plan of attack, I am starting to suspect.

Completion

It's no surprise how tainted this water is, but just look at how putrid it is becoming! It would seem that action is needed sooner than later, eh <name>?

To our east is Felwood; it is the real source of this corruption, one that I have seen in times past. I predict this sample will confirm this. We might be able to enact a cure for it here, but in order to even try we will need assistance. When that time comes <name>, I hope you will be able to give the aid we need.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 80 experience (4 80 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Darnassus

Head north from Auberdine along the road until you come to the bridge at the Cliffspring River at 50,24. Jump off the bridge towards the east and you should land right before the waterfall. Swim up to it and click on your vial.

Actually, when you jump off the bridge you'll be facing south. The exact coords I was able to fill my sampling tube at was 50.8, 25.7. Once filled, turn around and head south towards the beach. Once on the beach its a simple matter to get back up to the road.

Just a little bit west of the bridge (around 48,25) a Rabid Thistle Bear came out to play so I was able to capture him for ""The Plagued lands"" quest. Just a nice bonus.

Make sure not to get Empty Water Tube, from a different quest, confused with Empty Sampling Tube from this quest.

Make sure that once you fill the tube that you dont mistake it for the useless item ""Fish Oil.""

I threw mine out not even thinking about it =/
