A New Plague

WF · 1.60.1 · Build 69893 · enUS

Overview

Observed in game
Lady Sylvanas has called upon the Royal Apothecary Society. The Dark Lady believes our knowledge coupled with the newfound magic will provide the key to Arthas's demise. She has challenged us to concoct a new plague, a plague deadlier than any ailment on Azeroth. This new disease will bring Arthas's Scourge Army to ruin. My studies show that the blood of beasts might prove to be the key. Bring to me 5 vials of darkhound blood so I can test my theory.

Objectives

Apothecary Johaan in the town of Brill wants you to collect 5 Vials of Darkhound Blood.

Walkthrough

  1. Accept the first A New Plague quest from Apothecary Johaan in Brill, near 59.5, 52.4 in Tirisfal Glades.
  2. Hunt Decrepit Darkhounds around Brill and loot their corpses until you have five Darkhound Blood. One recorded nearby spawn is west of Johaan at 57.8, 52.7; use it as a starting point to search the surrounding ground.
  3. Cursed Darkhounds also supply the blood. The source records them south of Brill, including around 58.3, 58.3.
  4. Return to Johaan with all five vials and complete the hand-in. Speak to him again to continue the A New Plague chain.

Tips

  • The requirement counts collected blood, not darkhounds defeated. Keep looting until your quest log shows five.
Source notes & differences
  • Classic references describe the same five-blood objective and Johaan hand-in. Forever source positions are used here; the route has not been tested in game.
