Quest Log

A Unified Swarm

A Unified Swarm is a quest for level 50 in Dread Wastes. It is step 7 of 9 in The Mantid Threat storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dread Wastes at 53.2, 39.6. It rewards 8,500 experience and money.

Description

It seemed as though the mantid had been producing the corrupted amber for some time before our... intervention. It stands to reason that they are keeping a stockpile of it somewhere.

The Shado-Pan's scouts have been reporting an increased presence of the swarm's warriors in Klaxxi'vess. I would wager that they are guarding the corrupted amber.

Meet me there. If we have a chance to destroy that amber, then we need to take it.
