Kill Diseased Black Bear's (Not the Shaggy black bears), and pick the Plague Tangle which grow around their body. Multiple Plague Tangle's grow after killing 1 Deseased black bear.

Comment by Quickdix

These fields always seem full from people doing this quest, so it's best to grind a quarter level out from killing Shaggy Black bears while you wait for you Diseased ones to respawn.

Comment by Kogol

Shoot for the Diseased Black Bear's around Felstone Field. The majority will drop five, but there are a few that will only yield four.

This counts as a Western Plaguelands quest for the Western Plaguelands achievement and toward Loremaster

Comment by Takata

fudge, stupid Blizzard, I didn't realize that the Plague Tangles drop "around" the bear and you don't have the loot the corpse...They are glowing like you would pick up from the ground and not the corpse. And stupid me for not "Reading" the quest log properly.

Comment by Alexandros94

I tried killing Deseased Black Bears but nothing dropped/sprouted/etc.. I killed Shaggy Black Bears and that's when the plague tangle started to drop.

A grievance I had when this area is populated with people for whatever reason: People like to run up to your bear kills and take your plague tangles and then run away... repeatedly.

Latent Disease

Kill Diseased Black Bears in Western Plaguelands, then loot 20 Plague Tangles that grow near their corpses.

	Plague Tangle (20)

Description

I need plagued grass for an... an experiment, of sorts. Those Argent Crusaders and those infernal Cenarion druids have done too good a job of healing the plaguelands, however... and I can't find proper reagents within a reasonable walking distance.

Some of the local wildlife retain the plague's touch, however. Kill a diseased black bear, then retrieve the grass that grows where its decaying body lies. It's not optimal, but it'll do.
