Target: Dalson's Tears

Go to Dalson's Tears in Western Plaguelands to locate and defeat the Cauldron Lord present there, and use its key to gain access to the cauldron. You must have the Empty Dalson's Tears Bottle with you to secure a sample of the poisons used inside the cauldron.
Dalson's Tears Cauldron Key
Empty Dalson's Tears Bottle
Provided Item:
Empty Dalson's Tears Bottle

Description

One of the plague cauldrons is located in the field of a former farmhouse now referred to as Dalson's Tears. Well, we shall shed no tears this day as we thwart the Scourge and have them choke on their own fumes!

Go to Dalson's Tears, almost due north of Andorhal, and eliminate the cauldron lord there. It should have a key like the last one did, allowing you into the cauldron. Use this bottle to obtain a sample from inside the cauldron; each cauldron has its own distinct brew of toxins it uses.

I confirm, 46,52 are the correct coordinates.

The Cauldron Lord Appearance is based on the range FROM YOU TO THE CAULDRON... when u get in range he appears. Not when u kill something around it.. thats known as a trigger ... and there isnt one.. except... the distance u are from the cauldron. this is a radius trigger and its about 20 game feet.

Cauldron is at 45, 52

Use a /target cauldron lord when you get close to kill him and get the key.

After you have received the contents of the cauldron return the quest in Chillwind.

Gotta hand it to Blizz, they took the time to change the bug but not fix it. :P Now when you tag the Dalson's Tears cauldron with the key and vial in your inventory, it gives you the appropriate message, brings up the text for the Return To... part then everything disappears, including the quest in your log. If you try talking to the original quest giver (chick at CW) she babbles as if you're still on the mission and won't give you anything further. Worse yet, there's nothing to abandon or fix here, so we are totally stuck. :(

<Blizz>but we have dancing bears!

Again almost the same as the other quest , this cauldron is dead on north from Andorhal.

The cauldron lord here is level 55, be careful because there are several other undead units in close proximity to him.

After slaying him and filling your bottle return to Chillwind camp.

Also quite easy with my 51 rogue. combat specced though. But the respawn rate on the field is sick. managed to kill the lorde, kill the adds around. sat down to eat, and by the time i had taken a sample from the caauldron, the lord respawnd, so had to kill him again o_O

so be carefull, and be quick!!

Successfully soloed as a 53 Balance Druid. I killed the Lord and summoned the tree treants to kill the minion he spawned. The duration of Force of Nature lasted long enough for me to complete the quest, the trees took the hits from the one or two aggroed zombies around the cauldron. Then I hit travelform and ran.

Clearing the path to the cauldron was a pain, though.

I got the key and completed the quest. It shows (complete) next to the quest in my log, but I cannot turn it in. Does anyone know what to do here?

I did this quest with my 51 rogue, really easy, also where the cauldron connects to the ground via chains you can get the contents there instead of having to click on the cauldron which sometimes causes aggro from the sides. And BTW, the bug on this quest has been fixed you can now complete it and continue to the others

Ran the quest on my 53 Hunter this morning. Used the key and bottle, got a ton of Rep and Xp....but no bottle or return quest. Whoops.

I went to Darsons Tears, waited about 10mins for the guy to spawn, killed him, got
the key, used on cauldron and then got the new quest and went back to the undead chick in bulwark... but still it was tricky cause once i got the key it said quest complete on quest log..

Pretty easy with lvl 53 druid. Just kill your way to the cauldron, then the Lord appears, then I just used Roots on the mob that was near the Lord, got in to catform, killed the Lord (who summoned a undead before dying), loot the Lord, got out of catform and in to travelform, and ran away. Then turned around (after mobs stopped running afther me) and killed the mobs near the cauldron. Then completed the quest.
