This is so frustrating. Brusthonin was a veritable breadbasket before the Cataclysm--you practically just had to drop a seed on the ground for it to take root. Now, though, the soil is practically ruined.

Pandaemonium tried many times to purify the contaminated region, but up until now we've always failed. We learned a lot, and I have every reason to believe this effort will succeed, but that doesn't mean I'm not irritated by the senseless waste of it all.

With Lumiel's guidance, I know we'll succeed this time!

Hmm. That's a good question. Probably--there's almost always something to be done.

As for me, I've been studying the contamination in the Polluted Waste, just north of here. I tested the soil, and I think there's hope, Lumiel be praised! The contamination levels aren't nearly as high as they were.

The next thing to do is study the effects of contamination of living creatures. That's easier said than done, though--Hey. That's a thought. Still want something to do, your character?.

Glad to hear it--they look a lot stronger than mine, for sure. I'm not really a warrior, after all. This Legion prefers studies to fights.

Most of the time that's all well and good, but this time...well, the creatures I need samples from, Rotten Frightcorns and Poison Wing Vespines, are both very violent. That's where you come in, naturally. A your class like yourself shouldn't have much trouble collecting them, though, right?

Rotten Frightcorns wander the abandoned field in the Polluted Waste.

I only need the Frightcorn Leaf, not the Frightcorn Fruit.

Poison Wing Vespines are often seen there, as well. Please gather some Poison Vespine Powder.

Seriously, you won't help? I'm not going to be able to get this done on my own. Blast it, your character, I'm a scholar, not a fighter.

Oh...all right. Honestly...it's my hair. You wouldn't believe the effort it takes out here to keep it looking just so. I can't stand the thought of it getting mussed. It would take hours to get it back just right again.

Your hair, though...obviously your hair's used to this sort of thing. Are you sure you won't help me?

Were it not for Lady Lumiel, I'd never have come here. Do you know how hard it is to keep my hair looking this good?

Hah! Er, never mind. Of course you don't. So...what did you find? Did you get the samples?

You didn't get near the Polluted Waste, did you? The stench alone keeps me away.

Well, there's no need to rush. Rotten Frightcorns and Poison Wing Vespines aren't going anywhere.

Still, I'd like to get back to Pandaemonium. Please get those samples for me, your character.

What is that blasted stench? Ah, you're back.

Did you crawl through the contamination? Shards! Ah well, at least you found the samples.

Here's a token of gratitude from the Wisdom Orb Legion. Please, take it...and a bath, just as soon as you can manage it!

1. Collect samples from Rotten Frightcorn and Poison Wing Vespine, and take them to Vitda.

   Frightcorn Leaf x13, Poison Vespine Powder x13

Collect the Frightcorn Leaf and Vespine's Poison Powder for Vitda's research.

Vitda said she'd studied the soil in the area but needed to research the effects of contamination on living creatures. She asked you to find Frightcorn Leaf and Vespine's Poison Powder for her.

You retrieved the samples and were insulted and rewarded in the same breath.
