How to get Malignant Root, step by step

  1. Travel to the Wetlands. From Ironforge the road runs north through Loch Modan, and the boat from Auberdine lands in Menethil Harbor on the west coast of the Wetlands.
  2. Find Nightveiled Rotheap. The elite walks the rivers of the zone and heads toward the dam. Type /target Nightveiled Rotheap to check if it is in range.
  3. Kill it with a group or a raid. Every member of the party or raid loots 1 Rotheap Innards.
  4. Hand the Innards to Rethiel. Rethiel the Greenwarden stands at 56.2, 40.6 in the Wetlands. Talk to him with the Innards in your bags and pick the new dialogue line to receive the ring.

You can also skip the fight. The Innards can be traded, so other players sell them on the Auction House.

Where Nightveiled Rotheap walks

Nightveiled Rotheap is an elite of level 31 to 32 with no fixed spawn point. It moves along the rivers of the Wetlands and walks toward the dam, so the fastest search is a loop of the water.

  • Macro. Put /target Nightveiled Rotheap on a key and press it as you ride. A raid marker on it helps the group find it.
  • Groups. Players gather for it in zone chat and in the Group Finder, where you can search by area.
  • Loot. Join the party or raid before the kill. Each member then picks up 1 Rotheap Innards.

Rethiel also gives Alliance players a quest for the Excavation Site, the dungeon of the Wetlands. Its bosses and quests are in our Excavation Site guide.

Who can get the ring: faction and level

Only Alliance characters can hand in the Innards. As of 11 November, Rethiel the Greenwarden is hostile to Horde players and attacks them, so a Horde character cannot finish the trade.

Both factions can loot the Innards. Horde players kill the elite and loot them as Alliance players do, then sell them to Alliance players through a neutral Auction House.

The ring asks for no character level. A player handed the Innards in at level 6, so an alt can wear it from the 1st hours of play.

Wear it on the way to 60

A blue ring of item level 32 lifts a character well before the Wetlands quests do. Our 1 to 60 leveling takes the quest route on your character. 1 booster playing 12 hours a day reaches 60 in 10 to 14 days.

The levels and zones on that route are in our WoW Forever zones by level guide.
