## Steps

The steps as the guide window shows them, in order. Goals marked with a race or class are only for that race or class; a step marked with a condition applies only while it holds.

### 1. Zardeth of the Black Claw

Where: 40.1, 85.3 on the Stormwind City map.

At 25 Zardeth of the Black Claw, in the cellar of the Slaughtered Lamb in the Mage Quarter (beside the warlock trainers), wants two ingredients for a brew. Do it when your leveling takes you to Duskwood and the Wetlands.

- Reach level **25**
- Accept **A Noble Brew** from Zardeth of the Black Claw

### 2. Tear of Tilloa

Manor Mistmantle stands in the north-east of Duskwood, north of Darkshire. The Tear of Tilloa is a small white flower low in the grass of the fenced garden beside Stalvan's house: hard to see, so sweep the garden with your mouse. Fetid Corpses (level 29) wander the grounds and come quickly: at 25, send your voidwalker at the nearest one, grab the flower and leave. Stalvan Mistmantle (32) is inside the house; leave him alone.

- Collect **Tear of Tilloa** for A Noble Brew

### 3. Musquash Root

The root grows at the water's edge in the pool below the small falls east of Dun Algaz, beside the Dark Iron cave below the Stonewrought Dam: a tall, spiky wooden root, not at the foot of the dam itself.

- Collect **Musquash Root** for A Noble Brew

### 4. A Noble Brew

Where: 40.1, 85.3 on the Stormwind City map.

Back to Zardeth. He brews the Black Claw Stout and gives it to you for Lord Baurles K. Wishock in the Hall of Petitioners, the first hall on the right inside Stormwind Keep.

- Turn in **A Noble Brew** at Zardeth of the Black Claw
- Accept **A Noble Brew** from Zardeth of the Black Claw
- Turn in **A Noble Brew** at Lord Baurles K. Wishock — Lord Baurles K. Wishock, Stormwind Keep

### 5. You Have Served Us Well

Where: 40.1, 85.3 on the Stormwind City map.

Back to Zardeth once more: he offers warlocks a reward, which his imp Zggi, standing beside him, hands over.

- Accept **You Have Served Us Well** from Zardeth of the Black Claw
- Turn in **You Have Served Us Well** at Zggi — Zggi: Dread Mage Hat
