Be sure you have the beacon before you leave or you won't be able to get the shards.

No faction.

Also note that the rewards are not otherwise that great - the only one that's really good, the songflower, isn't a portable buff - you get it when you pick the cleansed flower. So you cannot, for example, take some in to use it to kill a raid boss at best, you may get to two bosses with it, then it's gone. Virtually no guild would have enough buff-crazy people that they'd then stop, go back to felwood, and get another fix - especially since the plants are fairly rare. Two of the others are basically standard food type items. The last is similar to a potion of rejuvenation, but on a different, quicker, cooldown.

If you look at the quest giver's tooltip closely, you'll see that there would not be rep - she's with <emerald circle>, which, last I checked, wasn't a faction with whom one has tracked reputation. (I missed this as well.)

Does this step or the cleansing of plants give a Rep boost to any factions? kinda looks like a faction quest for Cenarion Circle but would be cool to get confirmation. BTW. prolly a good idea to get this done before you start timbermaw faction because seeing how you will have to kill a million of them and they drop shards would be nice to do both at the same time.
