A huge poop quest opportunity has been missed

Community General Discussion

WoW has many great traditions, but few so revered by players than the poop quest. Whether it’s no TP in Searing Gorge, Amberseeds in Grizzly Hills, or faces smeared with leaves and stuff in Redridge, the poop quest is a long held tradition that must be carried on, yet…

  • We have bismuth ore. Bismuth IRL is the key medicinal ingredient in stomach upset medications.
  • Why aren’t bismuth ore nodes pink?
  • We have Dwarves galore, the original givers of poop quests.
  • Why is there no quest where we find a Dwarf or Earthen inside an outhouse complaining that they can’t get 20ft from the outhouse before they need to run back again? Then they ask us to bring three bismuth to them to settle their stomachs enough to allow them to run back to town without any “accidents”.

I’m really disappointed the writers missed this obvious next step in poop quest evolution. :triumph:

Poop elemental raid bosses (Crapnaros, Illidan Turdrage, Kael’thas Sunsh-tter, Kel’Poozad, Garrosh Hellpoop, etc etc) in a poop maelstrom-themed raid (a sh*tstorm, if you will) with poop emoji cosmetic helmet rewards.

Mudbath resting area then you discover their source.

Earthen don’t eat “food” so they wouldn’t poop as we understand it. They consume gems so we are playing with their “poop” when we handle gems.

At least that’s how I think of it.

Also, aren’t the upgraded nodes of bismuth pink and purple?

They should just enlarge that old poop model from TBC and put a saddle on it.

Don’t even give it animations, just a turd log sliding around with players sitting on it.

Bonus points if it’s a multi-passenger mount.

It will be one of the mosy sought-after mounts in the game, watch.

Gamers are degenerates, myself included. :clown_face: This would be popular.

In most stomach medications that use it, the bismuth is rendered into salt form and makes up less than 2% of a dose.

Because bismuth isn’t naturally pink. Raw, freshly unearthed bismuth looks like any other ore, the colors don’t happen until the metal oxidizes. (the process can be forced by melting the ore and letting it recrystallize with air exposure, but the nodes probably don’t do that)

From what we’ve seen from other stone creatures, the Earthen probably only “go” like once every 1,000 years or something if they go at all, it’s unlikely they could get the runs when they probably just crap out a single diamond if anything.

I’m pretty sure eating three whole nuggets of bismuth would also kill you. For reference, 15g is about the safe limit for taking bismuth directly before toxicity becomes a risk (roughly 30 doses of Pepto), and a fist-sized nugget of bismuth can be about 900g of material. Not that such a thing has ever stopped random nonsense in-game, but still…

Lol… I can’t believe someone took this topic that seriously. :joy:

If you spend more than 10 seconds eating you will become well fed and gain +125 pedantry.

Plot twist: Some of those mining nods are a pile of earthen poop.

Remember the “Outland Sucks” questline where you have to feed felstalkers from dead boars then dig through their poop for a set of keys? LOL
