Pigments for Paints

Greetings, friend. I wonder if I may ask a favor of you? I have just run out of red pigment for my paints, and I am looking for one with younger hooves to make the long journey into the Stonetalon Mountains on my behalf.

In the middle of the mountain pass there lies a large circular lake, Mirkfallon Lake, that has a unique plant that grows within its waters. The pods of this plant, mirkweed, turn a vibrant red when dried. Gather the pods of this plant for me, and I will reward you well for your efforts.

You have returned! Were you able to find the mirkweed plant pods in Mirkfallon Lake?

We tauren have used this plant pigment in our paints for generations, so any amount you manage to bring would be appreciated. Though there are many ways to get a red pigment, I find the mirkweed to give the richest and most vibrant hue of the methods I'm familiar with.

Ah, thank you, <name>.

It means much to me to have you venture all the way out there for what must seem a trivial notion from an old tauren, but with your kindness I will have enough pigment for the rest of the season.

Thank you for supporting my livelihood, and I will strive to create something magnificent with the pigments you have brought.
