Quest Text
Hey {name}, do you see this footprint? We found them all over the camp last night! Nothing's missing, but all our belongings have been...examined. The muddy trails lead back toward the Sludge Fen. Someone's been sniffing around, and I don't like it one bit. Can you go west to the Sludge Fen and investigate? See if you can find any more tracks just like this one!
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
