How to unlock the Emerald Dream
First, you’ll have to be level 70 and make your way to Valdrakken. Shandris Feathermoon will be in front of the stairs of the Seat of the Aspects on the left side.
She will give you the quest Fire Season which is the beginning of a short questline you must complete before being able to enter the Emerald Dream. The questline ends with Raise The Alarm which should end with you back in Valdrakken. Now, you should get the quest Call of The Dream. This quest will have you travel to the Ancient Bough in the Ohn’ahran Plains which is the entrance to the Emerald Dream. After completing the quest Emerald Welcome, a permanent Emerald Dream portal will now be available in the emerald enclave section of Valdrakken for easier access. This portal unlock is account wide!
To begin, head to the following location in the Emerald Dream, just south of the Central Encampment.
You should see a plant growing here. Make sure you’re not mounted and interact with the plant. First, you put out the flames and then interact again to clean it. You should then be able to pick up a quest from the plant.
First Quest
The first quest is called Some Water… and requires you to speak to the Herbalism trainer NPC, Professor Ash. He is located in the east section of the Central Encampment, between the Trade Goods and General Goods vendors.
After doing this, you should be able to pick up a nearby Water Bucket as long as your bags are not full. You can fill the bucket with water from the pools under the world tree.
Once your bucket is filled, head back to the plant and use the new dialogue option to water it. The plant will then become a friendly NPC instead of a neutral one. It will also have a bar above its’ model called Plant Phase Growth. This bar will take five days to fill up so come back to the plant then.
Second Quest
After you’ve waited five days, you should now be able to pick up a new quest from the Herbalism trainer NPC you spoke to in the first quest. The new quest is called A Dash of Minerals… where you have to go to the Haven Cascades body of water and kill 5 Fathomless Lurkers to get 5 Fish Bones. An underwater mount is advised for efficiency.
These items are not a 100% drop chance. After you’ve gotten the items, head back to the plant which has now become a dewy sapling. Turning in the quest should cause another Plant Phase growth to appear and it will take another five days.
Third Quest
Assuming another five days has passed, you can head back to the sapling to pick up its new quest called The Right Food. You must go talk to Professor Ash once again and he will give you a book called Ash’s Recipes to Delight and Nourish Your Plant Pals that details what supplies you have to acquire.
You will need 5 Tel’Abim Bananas that can be bought from Saelienne in the Central Encampment. She is the innkeeper inside the large purple tent structure.
Next, you will need to gather 3 Turtle Eggshell Shards by clicking Turtle Eggs on the ground. These can be found on the beaches of the Summerjoy Shoal area where many hostile Cantankerous Turtles spawn.
Lastly, you will need to gather 5 Lasher Plant Matter. These can be collected by killing and looting Fenblossom Lashling and Fenblossom Lashers. A good location to farm these mobs is in the Sprigling Grove, where several spawn in the vicinity.
Once you have all three items, you can click them in your inventory to create Combined Fertilizer Ingredients. Make sure NOT to click the bananas for this as it will cause you to eat one. Now, you must wait 3 more days while this item composts in your inventory.
Once your 72 hour wait time is up, go back to the sapling and click on the <Spread the fertilizer underneath the plant.> dialogue option to spread the fertilizer around it. Now, you can either choose to tell the plant a joke or read it a poem for entertainment. Another Plant Phase Growth should appear afterwards which will take another 5 days to fill.
Fourth Quest
After your five day waiting period, you can head to Professor Ash to pick up the quest And a Pinch of Magic. A good area to complete this at is in the Singing Fen, east of Amirdrassil.
Once there, use the quest item you were given and then attack the flame-corrupted Roottender Treants and Roottender Wildgrowths in the area to bring them below 40% health near the totem. Doing so will cause the totem to siphon their magical energy. After you’ve completed enough of this, head back to the plant which is now a Thriving Sapling. You can turn in the quest to Professor Ash nearby. For the last time, you will need to wait 5 more days.
Fifth Quest
Now that you’ve waited another five days, you can finally pick up the final quest, A Little Hope is Never without Worth, from Professor Ash in the Central Encampment. It will get you to fly over to where the sprout is for the final time to see that it has finally become a blooming plant. Talk to Professor Ash again near the plant to turn in this quest and get your Ochre Dreamtalon mount!
