Reward of The Patient Bufonid, the last of eight quests from Avna at the pond in Haven, Zereth Mortis. The first seven, all called The Burrowed Bufonid, each ask for a delivery of food to lure the bufonid out of the water, and each opens at the daily reset after the one before; the eighth is offered at once after the seventh.

Guide wow.gg: Patient Bufonid
Before you go
- The first chapter of the Zereth Mortis campaign, Secrets of the First Ones; Avna offers the quests after it · about 1 h
- Seven deliveries, one a day: 15 Vespoid Honey (vespoids in Zereth Mortis, only while the quest is held), 30 Tenebrous Ribs (beasts of the Shadowlands), 200 Shrouded Cloth (humanoids of the Shadowlands), 10 Elysian Thade (fished in the Shadowlands), 5 Protoflesh (creatures of Zereth Mortis), 5 Catalyzed Apple Pie (sold by Mai Toa in Zereth Mortis, 58.6, 49.8) and 1 Organic Melon (sold by the fruit vendor just inside the dungeon Tazavesh, the Veiled Market) · about 4 h over 7 days
- A way to the entrance of Tazavesh, the Veiled Market, for the seventh delivery: the flight path opened by the quest line that starts with The Al'ley Cat of Oribos in Oribos. Once opened it serves the whole account · about 0.5 h
In all: about 5.5 h of play, spread over 7 days, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Zereth Mortis 34.3 65.9 - Take the portal from Wizard's Sanctum to Oribos*
- Speak to Tal-Inara within Oribos to travel to Zereth Mortis
- Fly the rest of the way
- Take the portal from Pathfinder's Den to Oribos*
- Speak to Tal-Inara within Oribos to travel to Zereth Mortis
- Fly the rest of the way
/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight
line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.
Notes and sources
Seven days is the least it takes: the seventh and eighth quests are handed in on the same day. Days may be skipped without losing progress (Wowhead comments of 2022; wow.gg). In order the quests are 65727, 65725, 65726, 65728, 65729, 65730, 65731 and 65732; the journal names only the last.
Vespoid Honey drops only while the first quest is in the log: a 2025 commenter farmed half an hour without it and needed two minutes with it. The ribs, cloth, fish and Protoflesh are ordinary trade goods, and the guides suggest getting them from other players rather than gathering them. A 2022 comment advises fishing the thade outside Zereth Mortis, where the rate is poor.
The melon vendor stands to the left just inside the instance, before the first enemies, and going in asks for nothing beyond reaching the door (comments). Whether the dungeon can be reached another way since Tazavesh became a city on K'aresh was not looked into.
Avna's spot is Wowhead's tooltip 34.4, 65.8 and the comments' 34.34, 65.89.
Confidence in this entry: high. Looked up in 2026.
