I have to agree with the root sample quest not working in this push. I had herbalism before getting the quest and so far have gathered well over 100 herbs int he barrens from the north end down to just short of the where those nasty insects are at and have as yet to get a single root sample.
Similarly to the quest from Cross Roads were you need 15 gems of a sort that you occasionally get when mining normally.
The gems are Bloodstones and are a quest only item drop. There are two ways to get them mining (only the viens next to the giant bramble thorns) and killing the quill boars in the southern region of the Barrens. The quest actually implies that you should be second method with only a minor hint that it can be accomplished by the first method.
The one were I have to find those red gems mining, I only got a few every now and then (then suddenly one single tin vein gave me 7 I think, I got 3,2,0,2 with each mining. Quite amazing. Still lack 3 gems I think.
You must have finally did the mining at one of the ore viens in a quill boar camp. I was getting an average of 3-4 Bloodstones per vien when I mined at these locations. Getting them from the quill boars themselves is I believe at the rate of one per when they drop. No idea on how frequently they drop from those quill boars though since I picked up my entire supply early at the easy to get to quill boar camps just north east of Crossroads.
