Having an herbalist do this for you (or being one yourself) will greatly improve the odds of receiving morrowgrain.

Makes the process soooo much easier.

You can buy these Morrowgrain's off the Auction House. I was sitting around in Darnassus went and had a look and bought 3 off the AH for 40s. I've got 3 Morrowgrain in one opening and opened a total of 5. Do NOT do what i did, think it's smart to delete the Evergreen Pouch and buy a new one to avoid the cooldown, because it carries over and you waste 90s. The 10 min cooldown is highly annoying, but it's such an easy quest for a decent amount of xp.

In order for this you only need to use 2 Un'Goro Soil samples for each morrowgrain. The morrowgrain comes in piles of 5 I believe. Right-click the bag you receive when you have 2 Un'Goro Soil then open the pouch.

The pouch has a 10-minute cooldown though. It's worth it for such an easy task.

Alliance, also be sure to grab this quest as well:

Go back to Feralas after you get the Marrowgrain quest from the Archdruid and the Feralas innkeeper will tell you to go see that druid in the treehome and he will give you this quest.

I did as someone mentioned above ... I bought the Morrowgrain in AH ... well, 5/10 anyway. I got the other five in three uses of the pouch. I only used (lucky I guess...) 4 of the 20 packets of seeds. So I attempted to use it for the remainder of the Morrowgrain ... then sold them back to the AH :) ... might be of use to you? It could be a nice goldmine lol! Have fun!

@ lvl 70, I've made 15 attempts so far. I've only got liferoot and stranglekelp so far. Thats 30 soils. Either the drop rate is way too low or this quest is broken.

This information should be accurate as of patch 1.11.2
Morrowgrain quests:

The Morrowgrain quests can be quite involved as there are two quest givers and turn-in locations. Also the rewards given are different for both turn-in locations. The actual process to get Morrowgrain takes several steps as well.

The quest line starts with a quest called Morrowgrain Research which is given out by Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm. Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm may be found at Anonymous coordinates 35,8 in Darnassas. He is located at the top level of the Druid complex (Cenarion Enclave). He asks you to take a packet of 20 Tharlendris seeds to the middle level of the same complex and give them to Mathrengyl Bearwalker who gives out the next quest. That quest is also titled Morrowgrain Research (Just to confuse things).

The second Morrowgrain Research quest has you take a special pouch called an Evergreen Pouch (Provided when you receive the quest) and put into it 2 Un'Goro Soil (Collected in Un’Goro Crater) and 1 of the Tharlendris seeds from the packet (First 10 seeds given to you with the quest). With 2 Un'Goro Soil in your backpack along with 1 Tharlendris seed, you right click the Evergreen pouch. The pouch will plant the seed into the soil and grow an Evergreen Herb Casing. When you right click the casing, out will pop a random herb. One of the herbs grown may be Morrowgrain. When you have 10 of them you turn them in to complete the quest. You can repeat this quest as many times as desired. You can grow a new Evergreen Herb Casing once every 10 minutes.

There is a second parallel quest line involving Morrowgrain as well. This chain of quests starts with either Innkeeper Shyria in the Inn of Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas or with Tannysa the Herbalism trainer in the Mage Quarter of Stormwind. Talking to either of these two people will give you a quest titled Jonespyre's Request which asks you to go talk to Quintis Jonespyre in the Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas. Quintis Jonespyre will then give you the repeatable quest titled The Mystery of Morrowgrain. This quest is identical to the above quest (Use the Evergreen pouch to grow an Evergreen Herb Casing from 1 Tharlendris seed and 2 Un'Goro Soil and out pops a random herb) except you only need to turn in 5 Morrowgrain.

In the end, you now have two locations to turn in Morrowgrain:

Turning in 5 Morrowgrain to Quintis Jonespyre in the Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas will give you 25 reputation with Darnassas. In addition he also gives you another packet of 10 Tharlendris seeds so you can go out and grow more.

Turning in 10 Morrowgrain to Mathrengyl Bearwalker at the Cenarion Enclave in Darnassas will earn you 50 reputation with Darnassas. In addition he also gives you a Cenarion Circle Cache. Opening this will provide a random number of items as loot. Typically there are 4-8 items in the bag although I have seen only 1 before and as many as 14 per Cenarion Circle Cache. The Cenarion Circle Cache typically contains food, drinks, scrolls, potions, herbs etc. For a list of the types of items found in each Cache please see the following link: https://classicdb.ch/item=5533 You can get a lot of really good stuff in these caches.

Where to get Un’Goro Soil: Un’Goro Soil is found in Un’Goro Crater (Southern end of Kalimdor). Un’Goro Soil is dropped (from Dinosaurs) throughout the crater. Just run around the zone (Avoiding being stepped on or eaten by the dinosaurs) and right click the dirt piles you see laying on the ground. Un’Goro Soil is often found in the AH as well. Un’Goro Soil stacks up to 100 units per stack now.

Where to get Tharlendris seeds: Tharlendris seeds may be purchased from either of the two turn-in NPCs or you can get them as part of your turn-in reward when you turn in Morrowgrain to Quintis Jonespyre in the Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas.

Where to get an Evergreen pouch: An Evergreen pouch is given to you when you receive the second Morrowgrain Research quest. Replacements may be purchased (For around 1 Gold) from either of the two turn-in NPCs.

The rewards:

Once you have grown Evergreen Herb Casings and retrieved the herbs out of the casings you can either turn in the Morrowgrain for reputation, sell it on the AH or use it to make Cenarion Herb Bags (Manufacturing 20 slot herb bags requires 8 Morrowgrain as one of the materials to make 1 bag). In addition the loot from the Cenarion Circle Cache is typically valued at several gold and may be used or sold as needed.

In addition to growing Morrowgrain, the Evergreen Herb Casings often contains other herbs which may be used or sold as needed. How much Morrowgrain or other herbs you grow and which types depend on your Herbalism skill. As an example, I dropped the Herbalism profession completely and grew 65 Evergreen Herb Casings. Out of those casings I received the following:

Morrowgrain 50
Kingsblood 6
Gromsblood 3
Earthroot 9
Briarthorn 8
Liferoot 7
Mageroyal 5
Sungrass 2

For a total of 90 herbs averaging 1.48 herbs per Evergreen Herb Casing. For the most part these are lower-end herbs.

I relearned Herbalism and worked it up to 300 skill level. I then grew 65 more Evergreen Herb Casings. This is what I received from those:

Morrowgrain 75
Kingsblood 22
Gromsblood 2
Liferoot 6
Sungrass 5
Stranglekelp 13
Blindweed 5
Goldthorn 22
Firebloom 2

For a total of 152 herbs averaging 2.34 herbs per Evergreen Herb Casing. For the most part these are higher-end herbs. The maximum # of herbs out of any single casing is 5.

As I went up in skill level, the numbers and types of herbs increased steadily.

All in all 300 Herbalism will result in a 50% increase in Morrowgrain output and a 70% increase in the number of herbs grown as well as large increase in the value of the herbs.

Most people performing the Morrowgrain quests keep the pouch, seeds and soil in their backpack and as they run around Azeroth they pop out a new batch of herbs once every ten minutes. For an Alchemist this results in a steady supply of herbs for use in potions and for others it results in a steady supply of cash from the sale of those herbs. The hardest part is having enough space in your bags for all those herbs!

k so what do you do if you are outta seeds and dont have 10 morrowgrain. i have 7 but i am outta seeds

...and only 3 morrowgrain out of 20 seeds? I cry foul!

This is a horrible quest. When you use the bag you may get Morrowgrain or some other herb. I've gotten good ones, but this will take you lots more than the 20.

You may want to try to bring tons more soil back to Darnassus with you (like 60+) and try to knock it out there to save the inevitable trips back and forth.

I just finished burning through my 20 seeds and I believe I set a new record!

0 for 20!

Anyone need any Briarthorn or Kingsblood, I'm your man!

This quest is going in the hopper.....

So, I used the pouch and nothing appeared in my inventory- or does it only appear after the 10m cooldown?

As of BC and the many patches

Creating those evergreen herb casings has a cooldown of 10 mins on the evergreen pouch. Gathering all materials and creating it into what you need, takes alot of time

Sometimes the cache reward can be pretty good - this is my third, and I received:

1 x Arcane Elixir
1 x Elixir of Detect Undead
1 x Elixir of Dream Vision
1 x Elixir of Shadow Power
2 x Greater Mana Potion
3 x Moonberry Juice
1 x Oil of Immolation
2 x Superior Healing Potion
1 x Fine Aged Chedder
4 x Morning Glory Dew
1 x Scroll of Spirit III

That's 11 potentially useful/valuable items taking up just one inventory slot - and their AH value totals 5g 17s 8c (half of which is the Elixir of Shadow Power alone!)

Well worth it in my estimation.

I'm not an herbalist, and it only took me 12 seeds to get all the morrowgrain I needed. Most times, I got two or three in one sprout. I really don't see why it's such a bad quest it requires little effort, only a bit of patience.

If you talk to Arch Druid Fandral Staghelm he says you*ll gain more Morrowgrain if you are a Herbalist.....did anyone try if there is indeed any difference if you use the bag as herbalist or as none herbalist ?

Do you get stacks of other herbs and where do you get the ungoro soil samples, are they just on the ground or do you have to use a shovel or something on the ground to get them? thx

i'm a 300 herbalist~ and got 5 morrowgrain from 1 use of the pouch~
guess it does help~
but the 10 wait each try is annoying.

Is this the only way to lvl up ur Darn Rep? I am a lvl 49 dwarf hunter and want a tiger mount but with all the complainin goin on about this quest is it really worth all of the pain?

Either you guys are unlucky, or I was lucky. Either way...

I got 2 morrowgrain on my first packet, and 3 on my second. Then 3 more on my 6th, then 1 on my 7th, then 3 on my 9th. I'm JCing/Mining, so no herbalism bonuses.

The chance of getting morrowgrain (any amount I think) is about 37% according to WoWhead. I don't think you can get more then 3 without herbalism, and the chances of getting 1 or 3 are damn near the same.

I was just wondering if you get to keep the pouch when you turn in the quest. As an herbalist it's kinda cool.

just started this quest for the first time in over a year. came here to see if the 10min cooldown was new cause I do not remember it from before. Anyway, I got 2 morrowgrain from my first one. 10min later, i recieved 5. Atm I am waiting for the cooldown to be up again. I am lv 54 with 300 herbalism (I wonder if that plays into it).

but I have to stay in Un'Goro Crater to coltivate the morrowgrain? I was in Western Plaguelands when one my casing did a mageroyal, and not a morrowgrain -_- and often when I open my casing, I obtain a hearthroot... why???
