History
This world quest originally took place between the server saves of January 12 and January 16 until 2018. This changed with the introduction of the Winterlight Solstice in Update 12.02. Additionally, in 2019, Chicken Feathers, Bonelord Eyes, and Vampire Dust were replaced with Marsh Stalker Beaks, Small Flasks of Eyedrops, and Lancets. The experience bonus was also increased from 20% to 50%.

Method[]
The event happens near Venore under the Green Claw Swamp. The quest area can be reached by many ways, one of the entrances is located here.
You must go down several levels in order to get to the quest area (here).
Phases[]
A new phase begins every 8 hours starting after June 21 Server Save.
When the event starts, the message
The witches of the green claw swamp need your help to protect the world from the bane-bringers.
can be seen upon login. every phase a server message will be shown:
The swamp witches need new reagents for their brew!
It's possible to check the time left until the next phase by looking on the Witch's Clocks around the cauldron.
Ingredients[]
Ingredients are shown in a room before you get to the cauldron's area. The ingredients you need are chosen randomly (except for the first, which is always Lump of Dirt on all servers) and can be repeated. The cauldron needs 200 of the needed item every phase.
Wood[]
You can also use dry pieces of wood to receive extra favour points. Note that these pieces must be used on the slide of the cauldron. Also, dry pieces of wood do not have any consequences for the quest or its success. This means your world won't lose the event if nobody adds wood to the slide.
Bane Bringer Raids[]
Dry Pieces of Wood can be looted from Bane Bringers which spawn in raids in the area below the cauldron as well as in the beginning of every phase, except for the first (20-35 spawns every raid).
Starting at Server Boot, there's a chance of a raid happening exactly every 25 minutes. In order to get this exact time, you must first witness a raid, and then the 25 minutes intervals can be calculated from that. For example, if there was a raid at 12:03:55, the next chance of a raid will be at 12:28:55. It doesn't matter if a raid happens or not, this 25 minute intervals will still be respected, so there would be another chance of raids at 12:53:55. The exact time of the raid varies from server to server due to how long it takes for it to start at Server Save. The 25 minute interval will carry over into the next day. For example, if there was a raid just before Server Save at 09:48:22, then the next chance of a raid after Server Save will be 10:13:22, regardless of when the Server Boot happened.
Bane Bringers can be killed effectively using physical attacks. If they are not killed, however, they will disappear after 10 minutes. There is also a chance for the Bane Lord boss to spawn during the non-ingredient raids, a boss which carries up to 3 dry pieces of wood as well as some Taming Items.

A book nearby describes what to do when the quest begins.

- The ingredients needed in each phase will be displayed on the altars left and right to the cauldron. Only these items will be accepted. They will be only accepted as long as the amount of needed ingredients has not been reached.
- To contribute an ingredient, use the cauldron's lower, right edge and then 'use' it on the ingredient.
- All possible ingredients will be displayed separately in a room upstairs.
- Ingredients will be random for each phase. It is possible that an ingredient is needed several times in a row.
- At the fixed end of each phase, the needed ingredients will have to be supplied or the quest will fail.
- The clocks near the cauldron show how many hours are left until the next round begins.
- When a new phase starts, evil spirits (Bane Bringers) will attack the room beneath the cauldron.
- You can use the wood looted from the evil spirits to fuel the fire of the cauldron. To do so, 'use' the wood on the chute.
