Quest Text
It is good that you've offered to aid us, {name}. Our grunts have fallen sick from drinking contaminated water and I'm missing an ingredient to produce a healing salve. I'm in need of a rare mushroom called drycap. Our foremost orders are to keep our location secret and not risk being spotted while looking for it, or I would go myself. The only place in Hellfire Peninsula where drycap grows is a cave at the Great Fissure, south of here. Be extremely careful if you choose to seek it.
Plan the run before you travel
Hellfire Peninsula belongs to the The Burning Crusade 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 9442 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 Debilitating Sickness” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(9442))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(9442))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.
