FecesQuest

By my count, someone questing from 1 to 80 in the World of Warcraft encounters fecal-related questing five times. There's that time in the Hellfire Peninsula where you're trying to get a felhound to poop out the keys he ate, the time in Nagrand where you're looking for partially-digested fruit, the quest in Borean Tundra where the wolves all ate some microfilm you need, the quest in the Howling Fjord where you just want the poop, and of course, the king of them all - the Amberseed quest.

If you weren't paying attention to the quest text, in the Amberseed quest chain, you start by finding a bucket of amberseeds that looks tasty, so you eat them. You find out that you just ate an entire harvest's worth of amberseeds, and it's likely that you'll die soon (or at least pauperize the population of the Grizzly Hills), if you don't do something quick. You search for medicine, and after taking it, poop out the seeds. The really exciting thing? The quest NPC tells his sidekick that he has to go BACK out to the outhouse and "recover" the seeds. Which then go back into the bucket, for the next unwary traveler to eat. There should be a caution sign on them.

So, as we start speculating about the nature of the next expansion, the question that's foremost in my mind is: what kind of crap will we be digging around in, collecting, or producing from levels 80 to 85? Any thoughts?

  1. Walking our Worgen guildmates every night as a daily quest? You probably don't want to keep the bag of spoils you get at the end of that one.
