Target: Dalson's Tears

Go to Dalson's Tears in Western Plaguelands to locate and defeat the Cauldron Lord present there, and use its key to gain access to the cauldron. You must have the Empty Dalson's Tears Bottle with you to secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron.

Empty Dalson's Tears Bottle
Provided Item:
Empty Dalson's Tears Bottle

Description

One of the plague cauldrons is located in the field of a former farmhouse now referred to as Dalson's Tears. Well, we shall shed no tears this day as we thwart the Scourge and have them choke on their own fumes!

Go to Dalson's Tears, almost due north of Andorhal, and eliminate the cauldron lord there. It should have a key like the last one did, allowing you into the cauldron. Use this bottle to obtain a sample from inside the cauldron; each cauldron has its own distinct brew of toxins it uses.

Progress

An access panel to the cauldron remains securely fastened. In order to open it, you will need to find the key.

Completion

The skeletal key found on the cauldron lord easily slides into a keyhole and then disappears, allowing you permanent access to it. Crude, viscous ichors pulsate through twisted tubes within the cauldrons underpinnings.

There is a small spigot that the bottle fits well enough under, allowing you to draw a sample for Shadow Priestess Vandis back at the Bulwark.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 565 experience (33 90 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Argent Dawn
  • 250 Reputation with Alliance

Cauldron is at 45, 52

Use a /target cauldron lord when you get close to kill him and get the key.

After you have received the contents of the cauldron return the quest in Chillwind.

Again almost the same as the other quest , this cauldron is dead on north from Andorhal.

The cauldron lord here is level 55, be careful because there are several other undead units in close proximity to him.

After slaying him and filling your bottle return to Chillwind camp.

Also quite easy with my 51 rogue. combat specced though. But the respawn rate on the field is sick. managed to kill the lorde, kill the adds around. sat down to eat, and by the time i had taken a sample from the caauldron, the lord respawnd, so had to kill him again o_O

so be carefull, and be quick!!

Pretty easy with lvl 53 druid. Just kill your way to the cauldron, then the Lord appears, then I just used Roots on the mob that was near the Lord, got in to catform, killed the Lord (who summoned a undead before dying), loot the Lord, got out of catform and in to travelform, and ran away. Then turned around (after mobs stopped running afther me) and killed the mobs near the cauldron. Then completed the quest.

Successfully soloed as a 53 Balance Druid. I killed the Lord and summoned the tree treants to kill the minion he spawned. The duration of Force of Nature lasted long enough for me to complete the quest, the trees took the hits from the one or two aggroed zombies around the cauldron. Then I hit travelform and ran.

Clearing the path to the cauldron was a pain, though.

This quest can be a nightmare simply because the Skeletal Terrors in the area can and will cast Fear on you, causing you to pull unwanted mobs (which may Fear you again!). Don't stick around. Do your thing and get out of there!
