Arcane Refreshment

Hydrospawn Essence

Description

A <race> mage! How wonderous. I have not seen one of your kind for... oh what is it going on now? 500 years!

I have something that will quench your thirst, but first you must do a task for me.

<Lydros snickers.>

There is an anomaly in Eldre'Thalas. A water elemental has taken residence in the east wing. His presence must be catalogued!

Venture to the Warpwood Quarter and extract a portion of the elemental essence of the Hydrospawn. Return it to me and I shall teach you a useful cantrip.

Reward

You will learn:
Conjure Water

Progress

Yes? Do I know you?

Completion

Wonderful! Who are you again? Oh it matters not. What was I supposed to give you? Hrm... well you are a <class>, perhaps you will find this useful.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 660 experience (39 60 at max. level)
  • 200 Reputation with Shen'dralar

this is essential for all level 60 mages. it probably should have been listed with the mage quests, too.

you take the quest form DM library, accessable from west and north instances but the quest NPC, Hydrospawn, is in the east instance and is immune to frost.

It is indeed an essential mage quest. Luckily the Hydrospawn you need to kill is a very easy to kill and easily accessible mob. You (the mage) and two level 60 friends should be able to dispatch the Hydrospawn without too much trouble. I was able to kill it playing a friend's T2 rogue along with my mage friend's help.

This is now trainable in patch 2.0.1. The only reason to do this quest now is to avoid the training cost. Ultimately not worth it.

I was exploring Dire Maul with my 70 mage, when I was surprised to find that this quest rewards you with 11g40s at level 70. So it is still worth doing today. :-)

Hydrospawn can quite easily be soloed.

The fastest way to get to him is to go into Dire Maul East and jump down into the garden (you may want to use slow fall). Go to the south-east corner of the garden (dodging the wandering adds) and in the doorway.

Hydrospawn is in the pool just in the doorway.

""A Draenei mage! How wonderous. I have not seen one of your kind for... oh what is it going on now? 500 years!'
I'm gonna have to call your bluff there, Lydros.

Hmmm...it would seem that the changes made in 4.0.1 to conjure food/water (now just refreshment) have made this quest impossible to complete. it's still there, as is the boss u have to kill, but i just cant complete it.
