Krama has asked you to look into some sort of plague affecting creatures in the Overthere. Creatures with the plague have become dangerous and are clearly suffering. She would like you to help cease this affliction.

Unfortunately there are sabertooth cats and succulents that have been infected. Kill them, they are beyond help.

Krama would like you to collect some samples from the cesspools. She suspects that drinking from these pools is the cause of the sickness.

If you get stuck and are past the first couple elements, you can talk to Krama and she will undo some of your progress.

You can find Krama Alaeus in The Overthere outpost at +1425, +1274, +1.



  • 1. Kill 3 diseased sabertooth cats 0/3 The Overthere

    You'll see (Diseased) under their name (not in their name). If they don't have (Diseased) under their name, they won't count.


  • 2. Kill 3 diseased succulents 0/3 The Overthere

    You'll see (Diseased) under their name (not in their name). If they don't have (Diseased) under their name, they won't count.


  • 3. Use the Empty Muck Vial in the eastern pool 0/1 The Overthere

    Right click the Empty Muck Vial in the pond on the east side of the zone.

    Once you have clicked on both ponds it will turn into Filled Vial of Muck.


  • 4. Use the Empty Muck Vial in the western pool 0/1 The Overthere

    Right click the Empty Muck Vial in the pond on the west side of the zone.


  • 5. Kill 2 chokidai watchdogs. 0/2 (The Overthere)

    When you use the vial in the first (either east or west) pond, they will immediately spawn in the water. Be ready to kill, they can de-spawn if you leave them too long. If you fail to kill the watchdogs the first time you can reset that portion of the quest by speaking to Krama Alaeus. Once reset she will give you a new vial for the "WESTERN" muck hole. If watchdog part needs to be redone, NPC will [reset] so you may redo that part. Note, though, for her to do that and to give you a replacement empty vial, you must destroy one of the filled vials you have.


  • 6. Speak with Krama Alaeus. 0/1 (The Overthere)

    Hail her.

    Krama Alaeus says, 'Hello again, _____. Oh, do tell me you've had good luck finding the [samples]?'

    You say, 'I've found samples.'

    Krama Alaeus takes the hard you found on the [shore] of the western pool. 'Oh, you've also found something else, I see...' She scowls, exhaling sharply. 'See these marks? This vial was made by a sarnak.'

    You say, 'I found it on the shore.'

    Krama Alaeus says, 'She sighs, 'We suspected as much. This is going to be more difficult than I had hoped. They're using alchemy in these [pools] to destabilize the region.''

    You say, 'How can we help the pools?'

    Krama Alaeus pulls out a small, plush brush covered in an indigo powder. As she dusts it across the inside of the vial, it turns light blue and begins fusing with the glass. The inside surface becomes gelatinous, and she scrapes some out onto a dish. 'This will take a few [moments].'

  • 7. Speak with Krama Alaeus after a moment. 0/1 (The Overthere)

  • Give her about 15 seconds once you see the task update with this step.

    Krama Alaeus says, 'Yes, this is enchanted Jumm juice. It's irresistible to the poor creatures. I have a remedy, but first you need to mix it with a large quantity of their stuff.'

    She hands you one bottle of Inactive Counteragent.

    'Here. Seize some of the sarnaks' vials of enchanted Jumm juice, mix them into the bottles, and then pour them into each pool.'


  • 8. Kill sarnaks to find vials of Jumm Juice. 0/2 (The Overthere)

    It seems killing any sarnak will make this update if you are on the mobs aggro list and kill it.


  • 9. Activate the Counteragent with the Jumm juice. 0/1 (The Overthere)

    Right-click the bottle of Inactive Counteragent Karama gave you.


  • 10. Use the Activated Counteragent in the western pool. 0/1 (The Overthere)

    Go to the small lake on the west side of the zone and use the Activated Counteragent in the lake.


  • 11. Use the Activated Counteragent in the eastern pool. 0/1 (The Overthere)

    Go to the small lake on the east side of the zone and use the Activated Counteragent in the lake.


  • 12. Kill 1 Alchemist Ren`zain. 0/1 (The Overthere)

    The alchemist will now spawn right on top of someone in your group when you complete step 11 or 12. Be ready! In case you were not able to kill him, go back to Krama Alaeus and say "reset" to get back to steps 10-11.


  • 13. Report back to Karama Alaeus. 0/1 (The Overthere)

    You say, 'Hail, Krama Alaeus'

    Krama Alaeus says, 'Hello again, ______. Have you [purified] the pools?

    You say, 'purified'

    Krama Alaeus says, 'Excellent! I knew you could do it. The Overthere will be safer now. Thank you, _____.'

    Krama thanked you for your help.

    A sickly succulent...

    These sound like they should count, but they don't (unless they have diseased under their name)

    Step 8 of this quest says you will get update by killing any Sarnak however, it fails to mention that the toon holding the " inactive counteragent " must be on mobs aggro list or you WILL NOT get credit.
    The Jumm Juice is not a loot item it is updated on the kill.
    The toon holding the inactive agent does NOT have to kill the mob only be on its aggro list.

    Also, steps 1 and 2 , you can track mobs but, when you get to them if the word "Diseased" is not below there name, the kills won't count.

    Just an FYI When Looking for Diseased

    Just in case you don't read and comprehend like clearly I don't lol, I ran around for 2 hours.. using Tracking..

    Yeah, you cannot track them, by "a diseased", you can track them and see IF the word diseased is under their name.. you know.. like it says.. but just to save anyone else from doing what I did.
    For Step 5, it was the First not the Second Bottle

    Be prepared, the watchdogs spawn and attack immediately after clicking the second empty muck vial in the pool

    step 5. Kill 2 chokidai watchdogs 0/2 You spawn these mobs. When you use the vial in the SECOND (either east or west) pond, they will spawn in the water. Be ready to kill, they can de-spawn if you leave them too long.
