I found all 10 slumbering souls in about 5 minutes of running around the quest area south of the Heart of the Forest by spamming a /tar Slumbering Soul macro as suggested by Spider2 in their comment!

Holy 40 minute world quest, batman! Very few spawns, wildly scattered across the entire map. Horrible, horrible waste of time.

Comment by Isaboo

Sometimes you wonder of blizzard actually stops to think if the paying players will have fun when they create a quest... What a waste of time quest for little rewards.

Comment by Feralsoul

This quest is very easy for both druids and hunters compared to most, as Track Humanoids allows the player to locate the sleeping souls. Unlike what the appearance of a Slumbering Soul suggests, they are not actually beasts. This turns a tedious quest into a much less needlessly aggravating experience.

Comment by Jihyo

Using this macro will help mark them as they can be difficult to spot.

/tar Slumbering Soul
/script SetRaidTarget("target",8)

Comment by hawgjaw

found 6/10 in about 35 minutes and 2 spawn areas, realized I need to go to yet another spawn area and abandoned. Not fun, not cute. Unsure if time permits me to have a full time job and do this quest. Just plain bad design hidden in a premise that this is supposed to be fun.

Slumbering Soul can be found in multiple areas throughout Ardenweald zone when you have the quest Wake The Sleepers

They are friendly (green nameplate) animal souls with that name Slumbering Soul and are not to be confused with other neutral (yellow nameplate) animals about the zone that are sleeping, characterised with 'Zzzz" emote and do Not bear the name Slumbering Soul. The Slumbering Soul will be roused by clicking upon them, while the neutral animals will treat the click as an attack & retaliate.

The Slumbering Soul are best found using a target macro that includes a coloured marker because they are usually in hard to see locations, under bushes, down burrows, etc. as would be expected of sleeping figures. So the macro will find a target in range & the marker will then help you to locate the target within that range. I use Orange Circle as large & strong colour contrast in the forested environment.

I use:-
/tar Slumbering Soul
/script SetRaidTarget("target",2)

I was able to finish this quest within 2 circles after finding the macro in comments. I highly recommend doing the Hibernal dailies during/in between world quests.

Took little time, but I did NOT receive legs--only 3 offerings. I have chapter 8 of the campaign done, not sure if that affects anything.

There is a lot of good macros people list but I really like this one.

/cleartarget
/tar slumbering soul
/run local r,T,t,a=SMRI,nil,"target",{8,7,1,2,3,4} if not r then r=1 end if UnitExists(t)then T=t end if T then if GetRaidTargetIndex(T)==nil then SetRaidTarget(T,a) PlaySound(120,"master") r=r%#a+1 end end SMRI=r

I change the name for all these quests in the second line of the macro and it makes most of the night fae quests pretty easy.
The macro makes a sound, marks the target, and uses different marks so if you spam. It will use different marker and not just remove the marker on the previous one until you fully cycle through.
Its great, if your night fae copy this and make your life 100x easier. lol

I dunno where I found this macro its been awhile, but it's not mine. Someone else made this glorious thing.

Comment by dillybar

These quests are just BAD. Whoever designed the Ardenwald quests where you have to collect items at an abysmal drop rate, often times in multiple areas, should be FIRED! There are a BUNCH like this. There isn't anything fun or unique about them.This is lazy storyline work, filler material, it would be one thing to go out and do this and have it be so boring and ridiculous and take 5 minutes. It's another thing to have to go all over the place and spend up to 20 minutes on ONE dumb quest.

Comment by Catra1385

The Grove of Awakening is a good place to go. "Shift V" also works very well in spotting them. Looks for the glowing blue animals with Zzzzz's.

Comment by greencatspryte

Using a really simple macro is the easiest quickest way, just run around one of the quest zones and you'll pick them up quickly /tar Slumbering soul they are really quite a lot around, it's just that they're tucked into little nooks and crannies, so not easy to spot.

If you don't want to use a macro, just remind yourself that this quest has sleepers all over the place, so you'll pick them up while getting on with other quests.

Comment by Sharpbladez

Total Slumbering Soul needed was lowered to 8 (was 10) in Patch 9.0.5

Comment by WillowFae

There's a lot of blue to this zone, so the souls don't stand out terribly well for me. The macro method was the best solution, especially if you prefer to Dragonfly around instead of base-fly. A simple "/tar Sl" is enough to spot them, and there can be several that frequent a surrounding highlighted area. Some of them are as small as cats or as large as cranes, so targeting seems to be the quickest method.

Comment by Torick

Just fly around and press macro:
/targetexact Slumbering Soul
/ping

Description

The land speaks to me, <name>. Ardenweald is a realm of cycles, but it has never faced an anima drought such as this. We will need the aid of all who reside here if we are to make it through this crisis. Many souls slumber within the forests and hills. If they can provide us some of their anima, we may be able to endure a little longer. Should you encounter any of the souls in your travels, please awaken them and send them to me.
