WithinWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight, players can explore the newly-added Emerald Dream zone, located just off the western coast of Ohn’ahran Plains. Shadowed by the threat of Fyrakk’s corruption looming overhead, you are tasked with protecting Amirdrasill, the young, blossoming World Tree with the help of the loyal Guardians of the Dream.
This expansive, lush zone offers a variety of new mounts, pets, appearances, and gear to collect. Of these is the Ochre Dreamtalon, a beautiful, autumn-themed Dreamtalon featuring a new, cat-raptor model. While not as simple as an enemy drop, this furry raptor only takes some patience, daily chores, and a green thumb.
Getting Started: The Smoldering Sprout
Anytime you interact with this NPC,be sure to bedismounted.The quests might not work properly if you are mounted.
To start the quest chain,you must interact with theSmoldering Sprout, a red, budding flower located in the Emerald Dreamzone. It can be found at thecoordinates 48.6, 67.8, just south of the ‘R’ in Amirdrassil and to the right of the circular raised mass on the map.
Simplyinteract with it twice—once to put out the flames and the next to clean it off—to make it the Sprout and offer the first quest, “Some Water…“This will lead you to the nearby NPC,Professor Ash, who you will be reporting to as you complete these quests.
A Mix Of Hope, Care, And Patience
After you finish the first quest,the next will be available in approximatelyfive to six days, and this pattern will repeat with each quest done. The quests will go as follows:
“A Dash of Minerals…“will have youcollecting five fish bones from Fathomless Lurkers, which are located in the waters just left of the Eye of Ysera flight point. These have about a 22 percent drop chance, so don’t expect to get them from every kill. The waters are pretty populated though, so finding enough shouldn’t be a problem.
“The Right Food…” involvesmaking a homemade fertilizerfor the flower.However, this can be tricky when you don’t know where to look. Below is a helpful table to find the right ingredients:
Sold bySaelienne, the Innkeeper at theCentral Encampment.
3x Turtle Eggshell Shards
Looted from the ground on theSouthwest coastof the Emerald Dream.Only visible if you haveProfessor Ash’srecipe book.
5x Lasher Plant Matter
Looted fromFenblossom Lashlings, found around the lake to the right of Lushdream Crags.
Once you have created the fertilizer,do not place it, as it needs to sit, or ‘compost’, in your inventory for three days. After the three days have passed, you can go ahead and use it on theSprout.
“And a Pinch of Magic"simplyrequires you togo to the highlighted area, drop the given totem, and kill the fire-corrupted Roottenders. These enemies can be found just left of the Ancient Bough on a pointed peninsula. Once there, you should be able to round up a few groups and fill the bar easily.
Finally, after a few more days, Professor Ash will offer “A Little Hope is Never Without Worth,” giving you your Ochre Dreamtalon.
