Root Cause
A verified Blizzard quest record from Val'sharah. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Val'sharah, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
The massive roots of Shaladrassil are spreading a horrible corruption throughout the forest. If we are to save Val'sharah, we will need to find a way to stop the encroachment of the world tree. If you bring me enough corrupted root samples, I may be able to discover their secrets.
Plan the run before you travel
Val'sharah belongs to the Legion archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
