Glowcap Mushrooms

Description

I've seen your kind use shiny round pieces of metal to trade for things that you need.  We're not so different from you.  We use shiny round mushrooms as our currency. 

Glowcap mushrooms grow everywhere in the marsh, you just have to know how to pick them from the ground without wrecking them.  I'll teach you how to do it, if you promise to bring us some for our reserves.  What do you say, <name>?

What many people don't know about mining/herbalism/gathering, is that nodes spawn in specific places.  I have a mod called gatherer, it tells me exactly where I've gathered one of my last ores/plants/gathering material. 

I recently went back today to grab some, and noticed that they were all in the same place I had gathered last time.  Here are some coordinates, watch out, only a certain amount can be spawned in the region at a time.  These should mostly work though. 

37,32 37,43 37,37 37,46 36,47 35,49 27,50 27,52

Glowcap mushrooms are MAINLY, about 90% on the left side of Zangarmarsh. 

These do grow in areas, and are very small, so you have to look in the entire area when going to the coordinate.

I turned in the first 10 and I can't take this quest.  I am friendly with them and i'm level 62.

40, 35 and surrounding area, you'll find about 5 Glowcap Mushrooms.  Lvl 62 Bogflare Needler's are the only mobs in the area.

A good crop of 'shrooms are available from about 30,35 down to 34,38 and over to about 38,31.  Any herbalists can take advantage of the plethora (a whole buncha) ragveil in the area too.  Lvl 64 Rogue, I easily picked up 30 and killed ogres when I could be bothered! 

Comment by Arorndulia

For advice there are alot of mushrooms at the ango'rosh ogres.  Alot easier to find them there. 

Comment by Kirestin

This quest is easiest if you also have the quests Wanted Boss Grog'ak and Familiar Fungi.  This is where I had the best luck finding these shiny mushrooms.  The Ogre's are levels 62 and 63 . 

Comment by Vanquisher

Anyone know if this counts as an achievement as part of the number of quests completed? 

Comment by TheMardraum

This quest needs to be fixed.  Only being able to attain the starter at neutral turned out to be a pain for me, as I did the two quests at neut in the spawning glen, and those along with killing giants popped me friendly before I had a chance to grab it

Sometimes I just don’t understand the logic behind quests…I’ll teach you how to pick glowcap mushrooms without wrecking them, but GO WRECK SOME FIRST.  Because we’re running low on wrecked mushrooms.

I had a very hard time finding the mushrooms.  I went and tried Ango'rosh, and I couldnt find any, on my way back to Sporeggar, I went and gave Marshlight Lake a try.  Had a lot of luck with that.  Finished in about 15 minutes. :)

Ok so you need to know what they look like.  I was looking for shiny white mushrooms, for some reason.  The glowcap actually has a bright orange cap on it, looks kinda like a mini furnace.  When you hover the mouse over it, it comes up with one of the gear wheels same as if you were harvesting herbs.  however, these do not sparkle so makes it a little more challenging to know what you are looking for. 

took me a while because i didn't know what i was looking for but now that i found one, all of a sudden they are everywhere lol.

There is a way to get this quest past friendly if you forgot to take it while you could. 

Kill Sporeggar Spawns for -15 rep each, or hell, massacre the entire Sporeggar village, and you will be back to neutral very fast. (" At War" is a great tool.) 

Sure you then have to grind your rep back up again, and it is going to take a few hours even with Sanguine Hibiscus being so easy to farm, but to completionists, one quest is worth all this trouble. 

Me, I just set carbonite to ignore the quest (fake completed) and moved on.  Already got for loremaster.

Thank god I read this, I was going crazy trying to find the Glowcaps!  They kinda look like little orange mushrooms with uplights in the tops of them.  Best tip is to look around for them, don't rely on the map cos I kept circling the same spot and couldn't find one until I moved a bit further away on another quest. 

Comment by xennex

I think I got this quest at friendly and I turned it in at honored, but I can be mistaken, maybe I got it at neutral.  Anyway, at honored the follow-up repeatable quest is no longer availabe. 

Comment by gtadem

As of 4.3, this quest is either no longer available or not available at friendly and beyond.  You can now get friendly with Sporeggar simply by doing two of the four quests inside Underbog.  Quests you can do regardless of your rep with Sporeggar, unlike before. 

Having viewed this lacking a 2nd time, I filled out a ticket.  A GM has confirmed that this quest as of 4.3 is no longer available at friendly and beyond.  So if you're a fan of "buyable XP" like me, be sure to turn in your glowcaps before going into the underbog for the first time.  Or just don't turn in the underbog quests until after you turn in the glowcaps quest. 

Comment by Juranda

Unless you are a hardcore completionist, this quest is a little counterproductive.  Glowcaps are used as currency with this faction and they have a companion pet, tabard, and recipies for a few different professions available.  Pounding through the Underbog, doing the 2 quests inside and turning in the repeatable sanguine hibiscus quest inside the instance is a much better way to gain rep, as the hibiscus continues to respawn after everything in the instance has been killed.  With human and guild bonus applied I got 900 rep per 5 turned in all the way to exalted. 

Comment by WokkaD

All, please note : THIS QUEST HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE GAME

As mentioned below, the Glowcaps are the currency of Sporeggar. 

Comment by mbrown27

Save at least 30 of these to buy the pet from sporeggar's quartermaster Mycah. Save 10 more to purchase the tabard.
