Neutral with Netherwing or not, this quest is very easy considering your expectations after doing the fel reaver parts and other collect quests in this zone. Most of the eggs have a rapid respawn, are unguarded, and come 2 or 3 within a 10 yard cluster.
I also love it how 2 or 3 eggs spawn right next to the quest giver.. lazy girl!
Once again, dwarves can find using Find Treasure... :D

Description
We've come here to investigate rumors of a strange breed of dragons, perhaps even descendents of Deathwing himself. These are clearly not ordinary black dragons, though. We'll know more once we've had a chance to examine their eggs. Their hatred for my flight runs deep, so I can't get close enough to gather the eggs. Will you agree to help?
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Formal Introductions
Greetings, <name>. Do not be alarmed. This is merely a projection of my current form. It's the only way my companion and I could keep watch without revealing ourselves. The ethereal who approached you, Marid, is little better than a swindler in the guise of a legitimate merchant.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Troublesome Distractions
Your former employer, Wind Trader Marid, must've gotten wind that you're helping us now. Through my projection, I've seen his nether-stalkers entering the area, hoping to track us down. We've been able to evade them so far, but Marid must be dealt with before the problem grows more severe.
