Target: Dalson's Tears

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. No tears will be shed this day, <class>; we must strike at this cauldron and gain access to it!

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 inside the cauldron's innards. 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 Horde

The Cauldron Lord respawns if you die before you can complete. You might have to fight him twice.

The Cauldron Lord is simple alone, but if you pull accedentaly one more, it gets alot tougher, he spawn adds and uses shadow bolts, so kill him alone, and don't make the mistake I did.

Be sure to look into: https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5058 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5058 while in the area. Admittedly, this ""line"" is slightly more difficult than the cauldron itself, but still worth doing for added xp while going through the motions.
