Heading south you get to the moonwell, it took me a couple of times entering and leaving the moonwell to trigger the rp of this one, whereas the others had worked seemlessly, so Idk if this one is a little different from the others but regardless. THIS ONE reveals the lore of the stormrage books, which I had to do some extensive research to understand it properly about Malfurion's return and such. Through my research however I have discovered that some of the RP text is wrong. The rp text specifically says "Alexstrasza and Ysondre blessed Teldrassil" when in fact Ysondre was freed from the corruption of the Emerald Nightmare and Ysera was the one who blessed Teldrassil, being the green dragon Aspect. I am pretty sure this is an error in text, but like I said this is based off of wowwiki and not of any in-game lore... unfortunately.
Regardless nearby you hand this quest into Tarindrella, the Dryad from shadowglen. Idk but I really was thinking and hoping that tyrande would be here to help you free this land from corruption, since cataclysm has alot of interaction between major lore figures I think that having Tyrande here would really immerse my character far more.
Regardless you get given this insanely awesome quest, you get 3 abilities in a really unique vehicle action bar, I haven't seen any other quest with a bar exactly like this one really. One removes corruption and heals, one pulls in lots of enemies and the other one kills any enemies :D. You end up moving towards the final goal, the corrupted heart and nature allys pop up from the ground and tank all the mobs for you, whilst you put down the cool solar beam affects and use starfall.
Pretty damn nice animations for this quest and it feels really intense as you make your way towards the heart. I feel like when I reach there, there definitely needs to be some emote saying "USE 1 ABILITY ON THE HEART" because I was pretty unclear what you had to do here since starfall didn't damage it, I just simply took a guess and it worked so yeh ^^. I also feel like after killing the heart the area really should phase out, just for immersion purposes really.
Handing in the quest leaves you with a few hand-in travels to eventually get to Tyrande and the new (OMG FAP FAP FAP) Malfurion model... seriously this is THE ONLY male night-elf model ingame that is just hot and appeasing to the eye, maybe illidan is pretty cool aswell, but that's arguable. I really love the new malfurion model it's so pretty. I feel like tyrande could use a new model aswell, as she is kinda outshone by the raw sex-appeal of malfurion :D.
Regardless I would have liked some epic rp conclusion in this zone between Tyrande and Malfurion, perhaps a recount of their wedding or something would have been lovely. You do get a nice breadcrumb (at an appropriate time) to go to Darkshore and take on the next zone.
I was genuinally really surprised by how good Teldrassil was, I mean it has alot of vanilla quests still here but on the whole the quest flow is about 100x better than it was, the travelling is just so much less and the quests are just that much more fun. The addition of a few cool quests and the lore aspects of the moonwells and that awesome finale quest really just made the zone feel really really good. I feel like this zone is about 10x better than durotar because of the awesome rp and final concluding quest (even including the troll starting area which is better than the 1-5 zone of Teldrassil). Ye.. I was just simply blown away how you can like take vanilla quests and make them into lovely quest flows and make the zone just seem totally polished.
Hopefully (Ye.. I did Darkshore on a worgen character already :P) Darkshore is just as good (IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) as the starting zone here :P. Here are the slideshows of the final quest and the entire zone :).
