What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Emerald Dream, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
I hear there is a legendary engineer in the Dream who crafts the most beautiful dream catchers. This engineer, Nyla Bushtail, enjoys acorn-flavored morels and relies on them to fuel her work. Acorn-flavored mushrooms... certainly strange, but perhaps not unheard of. There's a coastal area close to the Eye of Ysera where these morels grow abundantly. Do tread carefully around any wildlife in the area. If these morels are as tasty as I hear, they will be guarded greedily.
Plan the run before you travel
Emerald Dream 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 77938 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 “An Unlikely Engineer” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(77938))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(77938))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.
