A Little Brain Work

A Little Brain Work is a quest for level 30-35 in Dread Wastes. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dread Wastes at 54.4, 35.9. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

Far to the south, the swarm breeds weapons of destruction - enormous, nearly unbreakable amber scorpions.

Like all other creatures, they are subject to manipulation, but unlike other creatures, they have not yet submitted to my mind control.

It appears that further research is necessary before I can dominate them for our own purposes.

I must study their brains, and you must retrieve some specimens for me.

Take this sonic emitter. I have found it to be quite effective against the beasts.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
