Take No Chances

Quest Giver: Wendy Darren, Farshire

Turn In: Wendy Darren

Objective: Use Wendy’s Torch to burn 8 sacks of Farshire Grain.

Quick Facts

• Prerequisite: Pernicious Evidence
• Optional Quest: This is not part of the main Farshire chain but can be completed alongside it
• Minimum Level: 68

Grain Sack Locations

• The tan-colored grain sacks are scattered throughout the Farshire farming area.
• A good concentration can be found around [55, 59], near the burning building where Reference Material takes place.

How to Complete

1. Accept the quest from Wendy Darren (she’s near Gerald Green in Farshire).
2. Equip or use Wendy’s Torch from your inventory.
3. Target a Farshire Grain sack and use the torch to burn it.
4. Repeat for all 8 sacks.

Efficiency Tips

• This quest pairs well with Reference Material and It’s Time for Action, as all three take place in the same area.
• The torch has a short cooldown between uses. You may find yourself waiting briefly between burns if grain sacks are clustered together.

Lore Context

• Wendy Darren is practical: “If cultists managed to poison the grain in the mines with their foul plague, they could’ve easily done the same with the grain outside. We don’t have time to sort the good grain from the bad. We must act quickly and burn it all.”
• Her fear is well-founded: “It would be a tragedy if we survived this attack only to succumb to the plague afterwards.”
• The tactic of poisoning grain supplies echoes the Scourge’s strategy during the Third War, when plagued grain shipments from Andorhal transformed entire populations into undead, including the people of Stratholme, whose fate drove Prince Arthas to his first act of atrocity.
