Every quest in Excavation Site: Wetlands.Who gives it, where, and what it pays.

The Explorers’ League dig in the Wetlands uncovered something older, and Forever turned the hill above it into a dungeon. You can pick the quests up at 24, but the last boss is level 31, so most groups wait until 26 or later.

Level is the level you need to accept the quest. Pick up says whether you can grab it before the run (Outside), only once you are in (Inside), or from a drop. Share tells you whether a party member can share it with you. Hover a quest name for its Wowhead Forever tooltip.

Pick these up first, zone by zone.

Every quest that starts outside the dungeon, grouped by where the giver stands. Quests with a prerequisite are marked, because the giver will have nothing for you until the earlier steps are done.
