The Videre Elixir

Seek out Gregan Brewspewer in northern Feralas. From him, learn how you may acquire the Videre Elixir, then return to Donova Snowden in Winterspring.
Videre Elixir

Description

Now, what's this? Linken... FORGOT?

Oh, I see... Lost his memory...

Well, here is his sword. It's not complete, though. I know of the one that can finish it, but... speaking with him may prove difficult.

Listen, I know of someone that will be able to help you. It's too much to explain right now, but you must somehow acquire a Videre Elixir. The only one I know that can help you with that is Gregan Brewspewer. He's hard to track down, but last I knew he was camping in the wilds of Feralas.

Gregan's camp is at 45,25 or for those of you who aren't using a map mod, you'll find him right between the "C" and "O" in The Twin Colossals on your Feralas map. He doesn't quite tell you what you need to do, so in this case, be sure to buy some Bait from him (only thing he sells) and go visit Miblon Snartooth at 44,10. Again, for those of you without a map mod, he's very easy to find as he's right off the road north of Gregan at the Ruins of Ravenwind. Drop the bait, which will open the door an allow you access to the Evoroot.

First talk to Gregan Brewspewer at 45,26 or you who don't have cosmos... he is at the T in The on the map in the the title The twin Colossus.

Buy the bait off him and head north to meet Miblon Snarltooth. You can see the ruin with the arch from the road east of the ruin Icon and just west off the road.

Place the meat on the steps. He moves and the door opens. Get the ingredient and head back to Gregan so he can make the potion.

Done.

Took me 10mins and most of it was on a mount.

If you don't want to spend 20 silver on a ham, then go to the backside of the ruin and jump over the wall... Get the flower then jump out again.

What you do to get the elixir is to buy the bait from Gregan Brewspewer, then head north into the Ruins of Ravenwind. The evoroot is at 45,10 inside a building that you can not enter. Miblon Snarltooth (lvl 50) stands guard in front of it, and he was friendly to me (alliance). I put the bait next to him, the wall disappeared, and I was able to enter and get the evoroot.

OK, I had to read all these posts several times to find out what I'm doing.&nbsp Here's is a detailed summary of how to complete this step of the quest
-----------------------------------

STEP 1: Travel to Feralas and go to 45, 25 and talk to Gregan.&nbsp Buy a "Bait" from him.

STEP 2: Now go to 44,10 and set the meat down anywhere near the Gnoll.&nbsp Now you can access the area behind him and collect Everoot.

STEP 3: Travel back to Gregan at 45, 25 and give him the root and he will give you the death potion.

STEP 4: Travel to Winterspring and take the potion back to Donova Snowden at 31, 45.

Once you acquire the elixir, do not go strait to the Tanris graveyard like the item description may lead you to do. Instead, you must first pick up the next part of the quest from Donova Snowden in Winterspring. You cannot skip seeing her.

EDIT: actually I got 5100 XP and no reputation gain. There is no reputation gain from the portion of this quest that is in Feralas, but returning to Winterspring - which really is the end of the quest, as the text states - does gain you experience.

Whilst I must agree, 20s is candy-money. BUT why not save it for candy?

This is how you do:

Find the gnoll whos "guarding" those plants.
Go to the other side of the building (the side where the gnoll isn't standing.
Now jump to the part of the building wich is sticking out a little.
Aim for the small hole on the bulding, jump in there.
Tada pick up the flower and leave the place without paying.
The gnoll wont do anything.

TIP:
Its best done either with a mount or a travelform/AOT cheetah.

Warning:
Some people find it hard to jump in to that hole. I'm not sure why, I got in on my 1st try. Just dont hug the wall when you jump and try to turn against the wall exactly at the moment when you jump. If you can't do it, well the dwarf with the bait isnt very far away.
Just a tip.

Yes Artio is correct on jumping over the wall its kinda hard but if you get it once its easy, You go to the back of the ruins and there's a ramp type broken spot, back up on this but dont get on the horizontal part stay on the ledge(with mount of course). Jump slightly towords the ruins and bang your there! it's easy to get out to, if your in you will see a ramp made out of a round thingy lol. Also there are 3 of the roots in there, and this quest is repeatable.

Gregan Brewspewer's loc is 45,25.

If you look at your map in Feralas, then look at where it says "The Twin Colossals". He's pretty much under the "T" in "The".

Go north along the road,&nbsp once you are parallel with the icon on the map that shows the ruins look to your left, you will see a small building with an arch, place the meat down in front of the steps, go inside and get 1 root and leave.

well... another EASY (as hell) method for mages to get the Evoroot, is simple to BLINK right through the "door" (were the gnoll is...) You'll end up RIGHT beside the Evoroot:)

For the record:

Linken: Link
Miblon: the Moblin you had to give meat to move in Zelda
The hot springs: The fairy springs that you throw the sword into
The compass in the bag, the sword, boomerang, map, raft are all from the game.

ive never heard people talk about this little reference, but when you talk to the guy who sells the bait for this quest the option to buy is "buy somthin' will ya", a quote from the first zelda if im not mistaken.&nbsp

Someone said a trick is for mages is to blink inside or something like that.
But for anyone else, if you walk to the back of the Evoroots, you will see a small opening. Jump on the small ledge then jump through the hole to get in there without having to buy the bait. (I'm pretty sure someone already posted this but oh well.)

You odnt have to buy the bait to get the evoroot.. Take your mount, go to the back of the ruin where the Evoroot is inside, and with a little practice you can jump from the ruin side through a hole :)

Other than the annoying trip to feralas, this si a fairely simple and painless thing to do, grab the root by going up the road north from the main guy, its a littel off to the left, after the colossals, nip round teh back, over the wall, as above, back to him, back to winterspring, then on down to tanaris, from there to the pirate cove, roberts your mothers brother.
Only caveat is the last boss in teh chain needs a team to defeat.

Btw, this is at loc: 44,11 - If you don't use cordinates, it's on the east for "Ruins of Ravenwind". Really near the road actually.
