Dumbest Quest in the Game

Like the title says, we’re looking for the stupidest quest in the entire game. The quests that were actually so dumb, they’re embarrassing to do.

I vote for “Plug the Geysers” in Nazjatar. Basically, you’re given a wad of chewing gum and have been sent to a field of 5-7 active geysers, where you can plug them by jumping on them.

To the Dev who came up with this, please don’t attempt this in real life. You won’t plug the geyser and jumping on it would only kill you due to scalding hot mud.

I’m going with CLUCK!

Not because the quest is dumb, but BECAUSE IT’S SPAMMED EVERY BG I’M IN.

The correctest answer possible.

I have three notable ones, all from Vanilla.

Deep Ocean, Vast Sea in Darkshore
The Green Hills of Stranglethorn… so many pages to collect
Ancient Spirit in Felwood–had to escort a slow walking tree all the way to Ashenvale, oh and he is PvP enabled, good luck!

Wasn’t there a similar one in Legion, going through a Felhunter’s ah, spoor?

The Devs have an absolute fascination with this. They’ve been doing quests involving poop since at least WotLK. You have to sift through the feces of wolves in WotLK. A quest in Redridge involves collecting fox poop to make a camouflage kit. So, you’re smearing fox feces all over yourself.

Flatulence and feces. You’d think it was the most fascinating thing in the world the way it keeps coming up.

Yes, and that quest was hilariously named “Outland Sucks!”

I actually went back and did it on this character, took him through Outland for nostalgia’s sake.

Got a laugh out of that quest, it’s still great even now.

The quest that does this: “A triumphant roar echoes from atop the Seat of the Aspects as Nasz’uro, the Unbound Legacy is formed.”

Vanilla WoW had the first iteration I remember, massive quest chain that started with the Fallen Hero of The Horde on the path leading into Blasted Lands from Swamp of Sorrows, one part had you out in Azshara picking up the droppings of giants looking for items.

And then I recall a similar quest in Hellfire Peninsula, yeah?

Any quest where the NPC sends you to ask something of another NPC that is literally in the same room as them.

For me it will always be the hunter class quest where you had to go to Azshara and kill moose for 2 moose horns. I killed over 100 of them and only 1 antler had dropped. And the respawn rate was slooooowwww

I thought those were fun,once I learned to use slow fall with it but yeah they do hurt if you don’t have the means to counter the damage.

Its ok to do THAT quest in RL, your neighborhood would appreciate it.
