The Winter Hyacinth grows from ice on the Ironwall Dam and the Decrepit Flow in northwestern Crystalsong Forest. Pick four of them and go to Drak'Mar Lake, which is in northeastern Dragonblight on the border with both Grizzly Hills and Zul'Drak. Go to the middle of the ring of floating objects and use the hyacinths. The Maiden of Drak'Mar will appear and after a short dialog, the Blade of Drak'Mar will spawn next to her. Loot it to get the completion.

This quest, along with The Edge Of Winter, and A Blade Fit For A Champion, is one of three weapon-fetching dailies available to Argent Tournament Aspirants and Valiants. Each faction has its own version, though they're identical aside from the specific quest NPC. This particular quest is for Sen'jin Valiants. The other versions are:

Aspirants:

Horde Valiants:

Alliance Valiants:

The winter hyacinths can be found on the Crystalsong Forest side of the wall at 70, 73 in Icecrown. Once you have 4 you need to head over to around 92, 25 in Dragonblight. Use them in the middle of the circle of candles and the maiden will appear.

The actual quest is rather simple, you just read the quest and it'll tell you where you need to be.

Hyacinths grow only on the ice flowing from the Ironwall Dam, on Crystalsong Forest's northwestern border with Icecrown, on Crystalsong Forest's northwestern border with Icecrown. Gather the flowers and take them to Drak'Mar lake in northeastern Dragonblight, near its border with Zul'Drak and Grizzly Hills.

You just head to The Decrepit Flow in Crystalsong, and on the ice in the water and around the wall you can find flowers to gather, you need 4.

Then you just head to the Northeastern corner of Dragonblight, just above the Naxxramas (when looking at the map) and in the middle is a ring of flowers. use the flowers you gathered and some lady will pop out of the lake and you can then pickup the sword.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Watch out, if you use your item when she's already out someone else will loot the sword and you'll have to get more flowers.
Wait until she's not there, and to be safe no one else is in the vicinity.

First go to Crystalsong forest and pick up 4 flowers. (These can be tracked with herbalism)

Then go to Dragonblight and use the flowers in the circle wich is in the water. Then you're done!

Comment by FinestHour

when i reached the ring of rocks in the lake, the NPC and the lootable blade were already spawned. i proceeded to use the 4 flowers for the offering, and it just despawned them both. no new NPC/blade appeared. any reason for this?

The rep reward from this (and other valiant quests) is actually 63 rep with all horde factions other than the one you take the quest with, 250 for the horde faction the quest is from and 250 for the Sunreavers.

For example: If you complete this quest as a valiant of Thunderbluff, you'll receive:

250 rep with Thunderbluff
250 rep with Sunreavers
and
63 rep with Undercity, Silvermoon, Darkspear Trolls, and Orgrimmar

Note that while I did not receive any in-game notification of the rest of the reputation gains, checking my rep bars before and afterwards it is clear that you do actually receive them. Completing all 4 dailies will award you 1000 rep with each of Sunreavers and Thunderbluff and 250 rep with all other horde factions.

ITS A TROLL?

Comment by 319499

When you use the Flowers :
Maiden of Drak'mar says: Are those winter hyacinths? For me?
Maiden of Drak'mar says: It's been so long since a traveler has come here bearing flowers.
Maiden of Drak'mar says:The lake has been lonely these past years. The travelers stopped coming and evil came to these waters.
Maiden of Drak'mar says:Your gift is a rare kindness, traveler. Please take this blade with my gratitude. Long ago, another traveler left it here, but i have little use for it.

Comment by Slinky

I just got there and saw the maiden and assumed i had to put down the flowers and she would do / say something, so i did. A druid from the opposing faction flew down in flight form and took the blade, when i tried to loot it myself i was not able to.

If you dont fancy having to fly back and pick up a second set of flowers (especially annoying with a normal flying mount) i would recommend making sure no-one else is around.

A Youtube video of the quest.

If you alt-tab to do something else for a few seconds, and don't alt-tab back in time, she'll despawn and you'll have to go get more flowers, unlike several of the other blade quests that just put the item directly into your inventory.

Winterhyazinthe bugged in 7.03 if you are in icecrown

You can only pick the ones in crystal song forrest, there are 3 nodes in the lake. Get those, wait for respawn (about 1 min) and repeat until you got 4.

A Worthy Weapon

Bring the Blade of Drak'Mar to Zul'tore at the Argent Tournament Grounds.

	Blade of Drak'Mar (1)
	Winter Hyacinth (4)

Description

Of all the times to have such rotten luck!

My tournament blade has gone missing. I've heard the bards telling tales of travelers offering winter hyacinths to a lonely maiden in return for gifts. Those hyacinths grow only on the ice flowing from the Ironwall Dam, on Crystalsong Forest's northwestern border with Icecrown. Gather the flowers and take them to the circle of lamps in Drak'Mar Lake in northeastern Dragonblight, near Zul'Drak and Grizzly Hills. Ask the lonely maiden for a worthy blade.
