The labs are in the side rooms next to the quest giver. Almost everything in the rooms is lootable, just need to mouse over them to find the right items.

Comment by Exertim

Muddy Mire Maggot, Withered Batwing, and Chilled Serpent Mucus are found in the room to your left as you come into Alchemist Finklestein's room. The Amberseed is in the room to the right.

Comment by holydevil

the items have a 30 second timer but at the time of writing this you only have to pick up all 4 items, not hold them all at the same time and hand it in, so its easier than it seems

Comment by Havard

The Muddy Mire Maggot can be found in one of the open sacks on the floor. The other items can be found on the shelves.

It actually took me a minute to find the chilled serpent mucus. By the time I turned in the quest the only thing in my inventory was the mucus. The quest requires you to "find" these items. Not turn them in. The timer doesn't matter.

Chilled Serpent Mucus is a small thin greenish colored bottle. Hope this helps.

Comment by 25321

as i started on the right, only Chilled Serpent Mucus is on the left only. Rest are all on the right as well.

Comment by fady

Dont forget that there are 2 rooms :)

For the completion of this quest I only got 2100xp, 62 silver and no rep. I was level 75.

All of the items you can pick up have flavour text, some of them are quite funny. It's well worth picking up each of them just to read :)

Comment by asloversgo

Gnomes can't reach the top shelf.

You can actually see the withered batwing. It looks like the bones of a wing on the shelves

Comment by 290308

If you're one of the people that do not like to read quest text, this is for you.

It should be noted that https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=38335 is not the quest item needed for https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=12799.

However, https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=40066 IS the item you need for https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=12799, which is dropped by https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/npc=29129

After each item it says "found". So you only have to find/locate it, not bringing it. Was confused as well, was trying to find a way to bring all of the items within 30 seconds, but that seemed almost impossible unless ya have speed pots.
So no need for all that, only 'find' them.

I would like to note that there is a diference the 1ST "Lab Work" quest and the DAILY "Lab Work" Quest.

The 1st Lab Work quest you do you only have to get 4 items, not on a timer and turn them into the Alchemist.

The Daily Lab Work quest is on a timer, 30 secs for each item and if I am not mistaken it is 6 items total, each progressivly harder to find.

Amberseed is in the room on the right, pantry is on the left, the seed in on the lower shelves, the round brown item. Seems to be the only item on the list not appearing in multiple locations over the lab.

Yup, those are the same amberseeds that players keep eating and evacuating in Grizzly Hills!

The Chilled Serpent Mucus is on the shelf on the left side
The rest are on the shelves to the right side

***All of the items are on shelves!
***Although the quest items have duration time it doesnt matter if they expire.
***Most of the items on the shelves you won't need for this quest!
***Dont go picking up Ancient Ectoplasm for Lost Drakkari Spiritfrom from the shelves, you won't get credit for it. Blizzard only put it there to mock you!

Comment by 409855

I found that a lot of the items are on more than one shelf, so it doesn't matter if you are too short to reach the top shelf

Comment by 397780

Everything on the list you get from both rooms. I found the Chilled Serpent Mucus in the left room, the muddy maggots are in the bags, the bat wing looks like a bone human hand and amber seed is in the Right room and it looks like a big lump of mud.

Comment by iceman5613

This quest is racist :)) Couldn't reach the top shelf with my dwarf... I can just imagine that top shelf laughing, LAUGHING at me... racist quest.

Comment by Trollina

To Female Troll I cant reach the top too.. :) But you can go from behind and loot it.. :) It works

Comment by 546905

i try to put all the things in the pot but it wont put them in and it is &*!@ing me off can you help me and i know im putting the right things in

Comment by Allakhazam

Okay, at first I thought this quest SUCKED, cause the items disappeared out of your inventory after 30 seconds. So naturally I thought I only had 30 seconds to find everything and get it back to this guy.

Turns out, you only have to find each item, it will disappear, but that doesn't matter, cause as soon as you find them all he will accept your quest turn in. Don't worry about not having the items, cause you don't need to keep them around to finish the quest.

Why did they make this quest different from every other quest? Who knows? Maybe just to confuse and befuddle us.

Comment by Allakhazam

I'm going mad. I can't find the Mucus. And I have searched both sides. I'll go check again

Comment by Allakhazam

I found this quest really easy the things he wants are in the rooms left and right of the same building takes minutes

Good Luck!

Comment by Allakhazam

ok so don't go outside, the things he wants are on shelves in the next room. there are two side rooms so look sharp.

Comment by Allakhazam

I won't be bothering with any more of my toons. The XP and rewards, other than a bit of reputation, is squat. 2100xp, 250 rep. Not worth the effort IMO.

Comment by Allakhazam

The mucus is in a blue bottle

Comment by Allakhazam

OK, so I loooked awhile, but found it.35,53 second shelf from floor third item left to right. Oh room to the left if facing into the building.

Comment by Allakhazam

Oh, There's ANOTHER store room too?

And here i was going insane NOT being able to find the Amberseed....

Comment by breaker581

I absolutely loathe this quest, but have completed it on other characters before. However, it is not letting me throw the items into the cauldron. BUGGED!

Comment by rabbitboi

I don't know if this is bugged, but it's been a crapshoot what items I get when I click the items on the shelf. I can see the items, get a tooltip confirming what the item is, but when I click it, I get a different item entirely. I had to go around looking at everything, trying to click everything to see if I can get a different item than what's listed, to see if that seemingly random item I got was one I needed. I just went to every shelf and clicked everything and after ten minutes I got what was needed randomly.
