The Moss-twined Heart

Bring the Moss-twined Heart to Denalan at Lake Al'Ameth.
Moss-twined Heart
Provided Item:
Moss-twined Heart

Description

The heart of Blackmoss the Fetid is covered with a dark, oily moss. In fact, the only way to tell this is a heart is from its slow, rhythmic beat... A beat that continues even now.

Perhaps Denalan will want to see this heart.

The quest doesn't start with Shalomon, like the description above states.&nbsp It starts when you kill Blackmoss the Fetid and loot the Moss-twined Heart off his body.&nbsp The heart starts the quest when you right-click it in your inventory.&nbsp It requires level 5 to begin the quest.&nbsp I just found Blackmoss at 44,30.

Blackmoss the Fetid is a rare spawn that takes a long time to respawn near the lake. You need to be patient in waiting him out. Once you kill him, bring his moss-twined heart back to Denelan and you'll be rewarded. You need to right-click the heart to start the quest, and it requires level 5 to start. You get a gnarlpine to protect you for 20 minutes for the reward.

He isn't elite, he has a silver dragon portrait, which is different than a gold dragon portrait. Gold being elite, silver being rarespawn.

I went to 43,29 and found him, killed him. But managed to die, and then went back and before I could grab the loot... died again.

Make sure you clear the area unlike I did, wow i'm pissed...

Found Blackmoss the Fetid today at 42,28, when i was on the female spider kill q. Searched the area for him before on another char for the rep, so i was very happy I found him now. The heart isn't very useful: The Timberling you summon is only lvl 7 and doesn't only protect you, but attacks every mob close, even if you didn't aggro it. Result: I wasted time on my lvl 12 priest, killing lvl 6 grey mobs, because the timberling attacks them. The heart can be used only once and the timberling disappears when you walk through the darna-rut portal. Rep. is nice tough, and for a draenei priest who wants a tiger mount, that's the most important. )

Just did this... no wait no nothing... he was right there at 43,31 when I went up the river.

Easy kill for my level 12 Druid

On my level 12 rogue.&nbsp It dropped from the rare spawn timberling.&nbsp The timberling guardian is level 7, will attack anything that aggros you, and lasts for 20 minutes, one shot.&nbsp Kinda fun to have a timberling follow you around.

I don't know. I did this quest with my other character and I found it no problem, when I was doing the Tumors quest. This time around I camped near the area for 2 days before I saw him. I also want to confirm that no, you do not have to talk with Shalomon in order to start this quest.

If you're deadset on finding him, check the area. If he's not there return later after you've completed several quests. He has a long respawn time and is quite easy to spot, seeing as he's a bit bigger than all of the other Timberlings in the area. I found him wandering on the far side of Wellspring River on the far bank near a bunch of Timberlings to the north.

He's a lvl 12. Rare creature.

His respawn rate is really really long. So if you intend to camp his area be prepared for hours and hours of boredom.

This is defently a random spawn, i checked both locations named above, but didnt find so walked up and down river killing timberlings, then i found him at 42,38. Maybe you have to kill so many timberlings to make him spawn.

To answer the post earlier, the item is a one use only item that summons a TIMBERLING, not a gnarlpine, to guard you for 20mins.

personally i just used it for my class quest, but i think it's pretty useless

Can the heart be used any number of times?
Or can you only summon the creature a specified amount of times? Does anyone know?

Now it says this quest is started by a Loch Modan Tunnel Rat Forager.&nbsp Much stupider than the original listing.&nbsp Perhaps so stupid that people will realize it's a mistake and not bother to make the trip.&nbsp (I hope).

Just in case you didn't read the above comments...

LONG SPAWN TIME.

If you're lucky, you'll catch him when he's already spawned.&nbsp If not, I wouldn't bother camping.&nbsp It literally will take hours.

I killed this guy while looking around Teldrassil as a 46 troll hunter. Right-clicking on it to start the quest informed me that "This quest is not available to your race".
I'm willing to bet no Horde do this even if they make the perilous journey.

Does this quest increase your reputation with Darnassus? Or is it just another bunch of dead xp?

I take it this is an alliance only quest since horde don't have a fun time getting to teldrassil, especially at level 5...

I ran into him by accident, while completing the tumors quest. The first time I faced him, i died, and when I returned I easily found him again, I guess he's always there.

But when I picked the Moss Tainted Heart up, the quest didn't start, does anyone know how to start the Moss Tainted Heart quest?

I've roamed around that area with probably half a dozen characters and never seen him. I took my druid looking for herbs last week and ran smack into him.

I searched for hours for Blackmoss and he never spawned even once. I even butchered everything in the area of the lake on.

No luck. He just doesn't appear to work.

I found him once with my hunter... He was sitting down at the end of the river near the waterfall having a picnic with all the elder timberlings I had come there to kill... but as I contenued to slaughter elders all afternoon he never once returned to play... so either he roamed there, and he's a long spawn.

I've killed him with one of my toons and vainly hunted with others. My most recent experience was the most odd. I found him and avoided him as I was completing Tumors, but later that night I returned and didn't find him. I'm thinking he might only spawn at certain times of day. I'm going to check my theory by seeking him in the early evening, which is when I did Tumors.
