Shadow Panther Heart (5)
Mire Lord Fungus
Deepstrider Tumor

Description

I have just the right serum in mind. It will deal with the truth in precisely the way the truth should be dealt with.

For this concoction I will need several Shadow Panther hearts from the Swamp. I also require the enchanted fungus off of the Mire Lord who resides there. I am sure one as able as you, <name>, can persuade him to part with some.

Now the hard part will be locating a Deepstrider tumor from far-off Desolace. Very rarely the giants there become ill and a tumor forms.

Now, off you go!

I finished this quest just the other day with no problems.&nbsp
Mire Lord dropped after 1 kill.&nbsp

Shadow Panthers are a bit elusive and a bit annoying to hunt, but I stuck to the northern tip of SOS as someone else suggested.&nbsp I probably killed 10-15 of them to get the 5 hearts.

Deepstrider Tumor dropped after 1 kill.&nbsp I killed a Deepstrider Searcher off the coast near the shipwreck just before the nagas.&nbsp One is usually there.

The end of the quest is quite amusing and Undead and Orc characters can both appreciate it.

Well.. finding the panthers are easiest thing to do if you know how to do correctly.

Just create a Macro /target shadow

and keep on press the new macro while you walk along the way. you can easily get them even you can't see them by eyes

In the 2.3 content patch this quest was altered and you no longer need the Deepstrider Tumor and the item has been removed from the game.

Shadow Panthers can be found from 73,8 to about 91,50 just follow the long path and use nearest target button and then they won't be hard to find :)

Here is a quick tip for those trying to get the hearts:

Go to the Misty Reed Strand and make a macro /target shadow panther, then simply walk/ride your choice, up and down the strand until you find them. I was also able to complete "Fresh Meat" and "Lack of Surplus" as I gathered the hearts.

Pretty simple quest.

The Mire Lord fungus and Shadow Panther hearts are easy drops off of regular mobs in the Swamp of Sorrows. The Mire Lord is located in the cave at the North Western end of Misty Valley (coordinates 5,31). The Panther's can be found along the edge of the Shadowmurk and the Misty Reed Strand, they are stealthed however so they may be difficult to find without something to boost your detection.

The Deepstrider Tumor can be gotten off of the Elite Giants in Desolace. They aren't too difficult and the most reliable place to find the is in the ocean just south of Ethel Rethor, near the Drysnap Crawlers. Easy to combo this part of the quest with hunting for the keys.

Turn it in for some amusing dialogue, then deliver the poison to Stonard for some easy XP.

I found the quest was easy, no need to leave the swamp, the Green Whelp Blood was picked up at Itharius's Cave(13,59) from the Dreaming Whelp. Just head south after getting the fungus.

Now 100% drop rate (when on the quest).

Also, when completed, don't run off - wait for the follow up quest to become available.

I killed the mire lord as a 39 mage and got the item on 1 kill. Killed about 9 Shadow panthers and got 5 hearts. Went to Desolace, and after 10 min of searching found a 39 elite giant and I soloed him quite easy as a 39 frost mage :)

as many others have said, this quest is horrible. I spent two days killing deepstriders, offering 50s in general chat to anybody who found one for me.

took about 30 kills for it to finally drop.

by the way, there are 3 deepstrider spawns, and they can be spawned simultaneously. one walks from the coast off of shadowprey, north through the pass between ghostwalker and valley of spears, across the area north of ghostwalker, then south all the way to mannoroc coven.

the others spawn in the veiled sea. one walks on the largest island and on the main land a little, the other one walks behind thunder axe, near sargeron etc. you can tell the paths they walk from the sightings map here on allakhazam.

if you're mentally ill like I am, and absolutely must to the quest, know that it will probably take you a long time. offer people money for sightings, recruit friends to help spot them (saves a ton of time), and spend some time knowing which are dead and which have spawned, so you don't waste your time on a path that's unoccupied at the moment.

This quest took me a while, but mainly because I was doing other stuff at the same time.

The fungus was easy - I stealthed to his cave and killed him, first time drop on his body.

The panthers were a pain, the drop rate seems to be about 30% for the hearts, and I found that only one or two spawn at a time in the area where they are.

The giant was also a pain, spent about 2 hours looking for one. Eventually, I gave up and decided to do some fishing off Satheriss Strand, and he appeared right on top of me! Got the tumour first time.

For those of you hunting the giant, I suggest go down to the Strand and wait there. Kill some of those pesky Nagas or go fishing to pass the time. Eventually a giant will spawn there - I think it must be the start of his path, and/or the spawn is triggered, so it seems like the best place to pick one up.

Sit and wait for about 10 minutes on the coast at 35,27. He wanders the most around at this part of Desolace. The giant came out of the water. Best spot to get him but be patience! Time to get it: really 10 minutes. Do be crazy to travel all around Desolace. Just wait at this spot!
Good luck!

The Mire Lord is in Swamp of Sorrows, 7,31 and/or on the far left side, way north. He's past all of the other swamp creatures and inside of a cave. Only one of him, got the fungus first try.

I must hae killed that giant 15 times without a tumor drop. This is a royal PITA. It wouldn't be so bad you didn't have to search all over for him and if he didn't ahve such a long respawn time. This is a complete waste of time. You can get more exp in the time it takes to complete this and the loot isn't worth it.

Don't bother.

Had no issue with this quest at all. Feel sorry for those of you that did/do.

Found the panthers in the northeastern/eastern part of Swamp. Killed like 15 total.

Found the Mire Lord, he dropped with ease. Fungus on first drop.

Just happenned to be in Desolace helping a friend, and the damn giant came after me. Dropped the tumor, practically handed it to me.

I would only do this quest for the amusement value. The time it takes to get the panther hearts plus the travel back and forth pretty much makes this one not good exp for the time invested.

Regarding the Shadow Panthers, I found schatz's comments very accurate. Many Shadow Panthers can be found along the eastern edge of the map, from Fallow Sanctuary down to Misty Reed Strand. I also found the Shadow Panther Heart drop rate was very low so it took me a while to collect 5 of them.

For the tumor, the best way I found to find these guys is underwater at the island near 32,22. As a caster you'll need to be on the ocean floor to kill them. First one I killed dropped what I needed.
