Writhing Haunt Cauldron

The Scourge's plague cauldron stands before you, spewing vast amounts of toxins into the air. A small, non-descript access panel lies in the base of the cauldron's vast platform.

Having already defeated the cauldron lord and acquired its key, you are free to add the appropriate reagents to the cauldron to make a counter agent to the plague.

This was added to the game to increase reputation with the Argent Dawn.

More information, and a great post regarding this, can be found by looking at the Dalson's Tears version of this quest.

Both this quest and the Dalson's Tears Cauldron quest require exactly the same combination of ingredients and give exactly the same rep reward, despite the tougher mobs around Writhing Cauldron.

Hence I find the Dalson's Tears cauldron significantly easier, plus it's more convenient to get to, so I virtually never do this quest & instead stick to doing the Dalson's one.

That said, it is easier to pick up somatic intensifiers around Writhing Haunt... but given the limited lifespan of Arcane Quickener, you probably should already have enough of them in your bags to do the quest, nyet?

You use the things to complete the quest, and these somatic things drops in any mobs in WPL and EPL, much higer drop rate in WPL tough
