Quest Text
Uplander! I'm Effervesta, Lady Redolence to the niffen of Loamm--the daughter of their leader. No need for formalities though, you can just call me Effie! Keep this between you and me, but we're a bit behind on some shipments to Glimmerogg, and the Drogbar are definitely not happy one bit! You've already been so helpful to Elder Honeypelt... maybe you can give me a hand too? Our swallows keeper, Nevroll, might be able to dig up some dirt on the issue. Will you go talk to him, please?
Plan the run before you travel
Zaralek Cavern belongs to the The War Within archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Check the exact quest giver and turn-in records above first. Use this page's community comments for phase changes, cave entrances, spawn timing, and corrections from the live game.
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.
Objectives and map pin
Blizzard's public API publishes a quest's text and rewards but not its objectives, its own level, whether it can be shared, or any map coordinate. Nobody has synced quest 72881 yet, so there is nothing to show here rather than a guess. Running the WowGodSync addon while you play contributes those fields for everyone.
Check it in game
Quest completion is stored per character on Blizzard's side and is not in the public API, so paste this in your chat box and it prints true or false for “A Swallow's Tale” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(72881))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(72881))A false also comes back for a quest id the client does not know, so it means “not recorded as complete” rather than proof the quest exists on your account.
