Diluting a cauldron will spawn Blightguards who can see through your disguise.

Comment by ben0214

If you use the teleporter as a pinpoint there are 3 cauldrons on the east side close together with some trolls and abominations near by, 1 to the south east and another to the southwest beside the wall.

Comment by 184590

Note that you can actually dilute the same cauldron multiple times.

The blightguards spawn only when you finish throwing it in, as in the animation has finished with the object. You can throw it in, and run out fairly quick.

Comment by dtrayn87

What is the point, of wasting our time with speculation as to what the blizz developers may or may not be referring to in their clever quest names, npc names, or npc dialog.... why not add something helpful? Anywho... above coords are correct, and yes you can outrun the alarmed blightguards before they spawn... thanks for the helpful info!

Comment by 283661

map plz for the wants that dont have cords plz plz

Comment by 137814

This is easy with a flying mount.

Land near cauldron, throw in Diluting Additive.

As soon as you let go, get back on mount.

I did five and didn't fight one Blightguard

Comment by WoWkevin

To get the chain you have to get Unliving Choker that got a 100% from Withered trolls.
** Wowhead say 9%, but its wrong because it only drops if you havent done the quest**

Links:

Withered troll

Unliving Choker

The first quest you get is:

An Invitation, of Sorts...

Its a long chain that leads you thru the Drakuru quests.

The end is:

Betrayal

Its worth the travel and killing, you will be awarded with neck:

Tanking

Physical dps

Spell dmg

Comment by 33042

There are 4 Cauldrons held up by some wheeled contraption:

31, 44
31, 45
27, 46
29, 47

There is also one sitting on the ground at 31,44

Map of the 4 on the wheeled things here

Not for hunters, you can Feign Death without breaking your disguise when you get attacked by a blightguard. Don't know if this'll work with vanish or shadowmeld.

Comment by Freddy92

The quest item is bugged, so if you abandon any of the quest's you need Stefan's Horn for you will have to go to Ebon Watch in order to turn it in, or talk to him if someone else have called for him.

Comment by 338873

--Do yourself a huge favor, do not turn in this quest until you are finished in the area! You can continue to use the disguise in zul drak and run past scourged mobs with ease. Some mobs don't care about the disguise, but you'd have to fight them anyways.
--This diguise makes reaching Malas the Corrupter very easy. You can walk right up to him, take off disguise and attack.
--There are some quests the Scourge will give you while disguised as well.
--Wish it worked everywhere, I'd never turn in the quest!

Comment by Perfectmage

Just to make it clear once you've finished both parts of this quest go outside and summon Stefan Vadu using the horn in your bag to hand it in.

Comment by peejay

This is the most annoying quest I've done in a couple years w/ this game. It's a wonder my monitor is still intact, lol.

Comment by 392428

1. In disguise, teleport up and get the quest from Drakaru
2. Teleport down using the lower green teleport
3. Still in disguise, run just down the ramp to the yellow murky pool all around the platform. Avoid blightguards which will see through your diguise and aggro. Target a geist and use the sceptre.
4 A little one-icon pet bar should pop up with a crystal on it. If not, hit Ctrl 1 If it still doesn't pop up it may be an add-on problem. Log and try again, then disable and try.
5. Walk over close to one of the crystals in the pond and hit the pet crystal-icon. Your pet geist will gather the crystal and run away up the ramp. The gather will not register until he has teleported up to his master.
6. Repeat.
7. The plague wagons around the perimeter of the area beyond the yellow pool mostly have cauldrons on them. Click on the diluting additive near a wagon or cauldron and run away. Repeat.
8. Teleport up and hand in to Drakaru, then back down to Stefan in Ebon Hold

This area is a nightmare for rogues and cat druids.

If you try to stealth anywhere in the area, blightgaurds will spawn and attack you :(

Comment by 497143

It's possible to use the same cauldron more then once, but be aware of the Blightguards

Comment by 138886

The cauldrons are mounted on some short of wagons. You can easily sit on top of the vagon and wait untill the blightguard spawns vanish. then you can use the same cauldron.

Comment by 756708

You do NOT have to be in disguise to complete this quest.

Comment by lespaul678

This might be a reference to Megadeth's album "So Far, So Good, So What?"

Comment by whecks

"Drakuru's task complete" = "It Rolls Downhill" quest.

In otherwords, you can't complete this quest until you've completed the It Rolls Downhill quest.

Remember to be in disguise to get the It Rolls Downhill quest from Drakuru.

Comment by Moniqueee

So, I started this quest chain years ago, went to do this quest and it turns out I'd lost my Ensorcelled Choker - I had a bit of a panic, but just wanted to let everyone know that if you're encountering the same issue, you can pick another up from the quest giver!

Comment by eKatherine

Three blightguards spawn when you dilute a cauldron. If you quick toss the vial and run, sometimes you can get away before they aggro on you.

Comment by Marchenoir

Why does the item have a 20sec cooldown? Really annoying

So Far, So Bad

Stefan at Ebon Watch wants you to return to Drakuru and complete any tasks he has for you.

While at the Reliquary of Pain, you are to use the Diluting Additive on 5 Blight Cauldrons.

If you lose your Ensorcelled Choker, return to Stefan at Ebon Watch to get another.

	Drakuru's task complete (1)
	Blight Cauldrons diluted (5)

Provided item:

	Diluting Additive (1)

Description

Everything you've reported is consistent with what we know. Learning of Drakuru and earning his trust will lay the groundwork for your future missions.

Return to him and do as he says. Do whatever you must to appear sincere, <name>. A great deal is riding upon your performance.

This time I'm adding an additional assignment: While you're in the field, pour this additive into their blight cauldrons. It should neutralize the scourging agent and render the batch useless.

Completion

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	Cords of Duplicity			Subtle Boots of the Infiltrator
	Helm of Subtle Whispers			Infiltrator's Shield

You will receive:

Gains

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

250 reputation with Knights of the Ebon Blade
