Questie doesn't check if a vendor is friendly to your faction when creating map icons for items to be bought.

This is an alliance only quest, and Questie shows Sani'i as a vendor for Imbued Vial. But that NPC is horde only.

I think this is quite an edge case. I am quite sure Questie thinks "I can kill that NPC and loot the required item from it" 🙈
You can loot that item from that NPC when killed? Just remove that vial from loot table :P would fix this
In all honesty, those vials, and any type of vials, should really only be listed as vendor items, as, due to them being a rather rare world drop, would make it too unreliable/unfeasible to just kill any mob until they drop them with their abysmal 0.01% or whatever it is
LE: yup, that item indeed drops from that NPC.
It's not in the loot table of that NPC, it' just in the vendorList. This might actually be a problem in the Questie logic 🤔 Maybe it doesn't check if the vendor is Alliance or Horde?
That could very well be, at start of wotlk everything was showing for both sides, maybe that NPC escaped the filter?
The NPC is at least correctly flagged to be friendly to Horde and unfriendly to Alliance
Some update on this: it seems Questie doesn't verify if the vendor is friendly to your faction, as this happens with all quests and vendors. So i guess that is the bug.
Another example:
From what I can see, Questie handles vendors just like it handles monsters and does not care about hostile or not.
We would need to add/check the information if the source of an item is a vendor and if so check hostile or not.
