Marl Wormthorn can be found inside the hollow tree in the Tainted Forest (it's a cave-like entrance). "Throw" your Demoniac Vessel at the quest mob, releasing him from his shadowmourne-like prison (aka: Marl's Shield). Defeat him and return to Mayor Charlton Connisport in Surwich.

c,mon blizz
all the way through the blasted lands the last quest in a long chain

very disappointing

Unfortunately, this is not the first zone without a cloth blue reward at the end of the zone. Burning Steppes had the exact same issue. If you follow the progression for new Dwarf Warlocks and Mages (or Gnome Priests), you end up in the Badlands -> Searing Gorge -> Burning Steppes -> Swamp of Sorrows -> Blasted Lands.

And as a result you end with very few cloth caster upgrades or rewards and almost no new blue ones.

Very unhappy especially since most of these quests were NEW ones. There's no reason not to put in upgrades for everyone.

I wonder if this quest has been compromised since cataclysm. when i aim the ring under Marl and click, the ring goes away but Marl isn't released. I lost the "fallen hero" chain i was working on in this area when cataclysm hit.

Comment by 634319

After dozens of aiming attempts i did finally get him released. I had to aim so just the edge of the circle was under him.

Comment by Toyotacamry

Are the rewards supposed to be some kind of demon joke (all the stats being +13)?

Comment by 639229

No hunter (or enhancement shaman) reward either. And the leather reward has INT on it, so I guess feral druids and rogues are out too.

Comment by fordahord

I haven't seen a decent rogue reward for the past dozen levels or so. There's been some leather gear, but everything offered would cost me a loss of agility.

Did anyone actually kill Maul Wormthorn? If so , say so!

Comment by 146544

I was with my level 61 Priest-Shadow, on my flying carpet. I approached his entrance not sure if I would aggro any of the 4 demons that surround him.I went in to the cave/hollow of the tree immediately to the left side, more space and a place to observe all around me. clicked the sack , got a green target ring, ran it out till it was under Maul Wormthorn, left click it then set up for the kill. Went holy fire, mind flay, plagues, then mind flay again. the whole time I had my ring of protection on. Used about a 1/3 of my manna. Got the kill and credit. Level up!

So many whiners about the quest rewards. There is a better, more immersive quest in the Blased Lands called You Are Rakh'likh, Demon that rewards blue rings that every spec can use (30 of 30). This quest rewards items for very specific specs (I count 8 out of 30), and that's fine with me, even though I'm a cloth wearer. Since you get armor upgrades all the time from quest rewards, I value the blue rings much more.

Comment by FuryWar

You might want to take out the demons around him before you "break his trance" with the Demoniac vessel. Once you use the vessel, be ready for him to start casting, Pummel and Kick are nice to have ready if you're a Warrior or Rogue!

Comment by Aldristavan

As he's dying Wormthorn whines: "I only wanted to... do something... good".

Typical liberal -- he turns his world into an unlivable hell, by doing 'good'...

Really, must you inject politics into this?

Comment by IMissThottbot

Incredibly sad quest. With all the "cleansing" and druids about I've no idea why they don't try to "fix" him instead. He seems aware of what's going on, his abilities are all still standard druidic rather than demonic, etc :(

Comment by lannisteryn0

I recommend not to throw Demoniac vessel at the mob instead slay one by one because 2 mobs jumped at me once which is huge pain in the ass.Then use Demoniac vessel at Marl Wormthorn to release from that prison state.Then he starts attacks which u attack back like u would normally.

Comment by nahkhaz

In the quest text, the Mayor indicates that the townspeople of Surwich might get upset as they live for Marl. But, seeing as there are only 5 of them...In fact, why do they even need a Mayor at all?

Comment by alpanhell

Kind of a stupid storyline. I don't understand why he needs to be killed.

Comment by Polygoncoke

Why the hell is there no cloth reward? >:(

	Marl Wormthorn slain (1)

Provided item:

	Demoniac Vessel (1)

Description

When word gets out about what we've done... there's no saying what the citizens of Surwich will do. They cling so closely to Wormthorn's dream...

...but still, it must be done. Take the demoniac vessel and use it on Marl Wormthorn to pull him from his trance. Return to me when he is no more.
